Chapter 51: Elite Training Camp
Having just had a delicious meal from Vic yesterday, Smoker had no choice but to pour out everything that Zephyr had taught him.
"Iron Block - Believe in yourself immensely, and your body will generate incredible strength. Mobilize this strength and you will be able to withstand all attacks."
"Shave - quickly stomp the ground more than a dozen times in 0.36 seconds. The powerful reaction force will burst out at a speed similar to teleportation."
“Paper painting – follow your heart, feel the space, relax your body, feel the flow of air, and react to attacks coming towards you in a very short time.”
"Finger gun - Believe in your own finger, it can penetrate any obstacle and break through all confusion."
"Moon Step - is an advanced application of the Six-style Shave. It requires stepping on the air at a faster speed and using the reaction force to jump into the air."
"Storm Kick - Use an extremely fast kick to break the air in front of you, guide the air behind your leg to form a wind blade, shoot into the broken air, and cut the target."
"This is the explanation of the six styles that teacher Zephyr gave us. There are many things we can't do now. You can't learn it just by listening to the explanation. It's better to wait until you get to the Elite Camp and learn it slowly." Smoker advised. He still didn't believe that Vic could learn it by himself.
"Is that all? You didn't miss anything, did you? I feel like some of them aren't that difficult. Like 'Shave' and 'Moon Step', as long as you have the speed and know the technique, can't you learn them right away?"
Vic wanted to show his "Shave" and "Moonstep" in front of Smoker and bring them to the surface, so that these two skills would have a source in the future.
After saying that, he directly used the Razor. He didn't use his fastest speed, but his speed was also incredibly fast, flashing everywhere around Smoker.
Smoker was stunned: Are you still a human being? You learned it just like that, and you don’t even give me a chance to live.
Vic performed the technique for a while and then stopped in front of Smoker. His face didn't turn red, he wasn't breathing hard, and his expression didn't change at all, as if he hadn't moved.
"Smoker, how do you think I use it? Is there anything wrong?" Vic asked with a smile, amusement on his face.
"You are kidding me, kid. Did you learn it on Vice Admiral Garp's ship and come here to play me?" Smoker asked suspiciously.
"How is that possible? I hadn't even officially joined the navy at that time. Do you think old man Garp would teach me?" Vic said contemptuously.
Garp is still very principled. Haki can be taught (beat out of it), but the Six Styles cannot be taught. Even though many people on the sea know it, he will not teach it. This is his principle.
Smoker thought about it and looked at Vic with more curiosity. This guy was too talented. A year ago, he was just an ordinary person and Vic was less than fifteen years old. Vic was so strong at that time, and he didn't have a master to teach him. He relied entirely on self-study. This was definitely the treatment of a protagonist!
Smoker was extremely envious and wanted to beat up Vic, but he knew he couldn't beat him yet, even though he had a nature-type devil fruit.
Then, Vic started walking in the air again in Smoker's dull eyes, and the sound of the air explosion attracted many people's attention.
When they saw that it was Vic who had just arrived at the recruit camp yesterday, they were also shocked. How could he learn the Moon Walk right after arriving? Can you believe that this wasn't a monster? They now believed what Smoker said. This guy was too strong and must not be provoked.
"Okay, Smoker, I won't bother you anymore. Just know the trick. I'm going to go back and practice on my own."
Seeing that he had attracted other people's attention, Vic stopped using the Moon Step, returned to his original position, waved to Smoker, and walked out.
Before Vic had walked far, a loud shout was heard. The voice was full of confidence and majesty.
"Who knocked out the guard at the entrance of the training camp?"
Vic looked towards the source of the voice. The man had purple hair, a resolute face, was about three meters tall, had strong muscles, was wearing a navy uniform, and had a cloak of justice on his back. The man was Zefa, and he was looking at Vic at this moment.
Zefa went out for a meeting this morning. When he came back, he saw two guards lying at the gate of the Elite Camp. He thought something had happened in the Elite Camp, so he quickly used his Observation Haki to take a look around. But nothing happened in the Elite Camp. However, he noticed a strange aura performing the Moon Step, and then someone came in and asked loud questions.
At this moment, Zefa was looking at Vic, but Vic was not afraid. He came to the elite camp and Zefa was one of his targets. He still wanted to learn Armament Haki in advance.
"Instructor Zefa, my name is Vic, Orens Vic. I was the one who knocked out two of the new recruits who came to our headquarters yesterday." Vic said calmly. He was not particularly excited because he was a former admiral. When he saw Zefa, he just had a different feeling in his heart.
"Oh, are you the one that Garp brought to the headquarters? You're really quite courageous. Can you tell me why you knocked them out?"
A smile appeared on Zephyr's lips. He went to a meeting today and heard Garp talk about the new recruit Vic. He was very impressed with Vic and said that he had the potential to become a general. Then Zephyr became very interested in Vic. He liked young people with potential.
"I came to the Elite Camp to look for you, Instructor Zefa, but these two guys said that I was not from the Elite Camp and stopped me from entering. Then I showed them my strength, and well, they couldn't withstand it. I entered the Elite Camp with my strength." Vic spread his hands and answered helplessly.
“Hahaha, you said you’re strong enough to enter the elite camp? That’s not just about knocking them out, you have to defeat them!”
Zefa pointed at the students in the elite camp around him and said with a smile that he wanted to see how strong Vic was. Although his aura was good, he still wanted to take a look.
"This is such a hassle. I just came to you to learn some Armament Haki in advance. Okay, let them come together!" Vic stretched out his little finger to pick his ear and said nonchalantly. He wanted to show his training value in front of Zefa.
Zefa's eyes lit up after hearing what Vic said. His original intention was to find a few people to besiege him and see how it goes, but he didn't expect that this kid would be so cruel to him. Now it depends on whether he has the strength to be arrogant.
The students around were filled with righteous indignation. This was too arrogant. They didn't take them seriously at all. After all, they were an elite camp that surpassed most people!
This was too embarrassing. They all gathered around, some even picked up their favorite weapons. Smoker and Tina also came over. After all, they were also part of the elite camp.
"Hahaha, well then, I want to see what you have the ability to say such big words. Let's go together and beat him!"
Zefa was a little excited. He pointed at Vic and signaled all the students to start attacking.
Zephyr has been an instructor for so many years, but no one has dared to challenge all his classmates during the training camp, not even Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Chaton, and Momousagi.
Although the first three had natural devil fruits, they were unable to do it. At that time, their fruits were not developed to such an advanced level, and their physical strength could not support them in long-term battles. The other elite camps were not ordinary people either, so Zefa also wanted to see how capable this Vic was.
Seeing the instructor's signal, the students immediately rushed towards Vic. They had long been eager to beat him up.
Vic did not take the initiative to attack. He used his Observation Haki to avoid everyone's attacks.
In fact, there were only a few people who could really attack at the same time. Not many people could launch an attack when they gathered together, so with Vic's speed, no one could hit him. He had predicted the attack in advance, and their movement speed was not as fast as his, so they could not touch the corner of his clothes at all.
Zefa could see that this kid had awakened the Haki of Observation Haki, and his attainments were not low. He didn't look like someone who had just awakened. No wonder he said he came to him to learn the Haki of Armament Haki.
With such speed and observation Haki, he can indeed be invincible in the elite camp. Now it depends on his physical strength and whether he can handle so many people.
The besieged students were also frightened. With so many people attacking together, they didn't even touch a single hair. He really had the capital to be so arrogant. Even a few people who used the power of devil fruits couldn't do anything to him.
After all, there are not so many offensive natural abilities, and Smoker's smoke fruit is not offensive, and Vic can dodge it.
There are not so many Devil Fruit users in each elite camp, otherwise the navy's users would be crowded together. There are also few capable vice admirals in the navy, which is a clear example.
Vic gave way for a quarter of an hour, but still no one could hit him. Smoker released a large amount of smoke to blind everyone. Vic knew where his real body was, but he couldn't hit Vic and caused trouble for others. It was unclear whether he was here to attack Vic or to help Vic.
"Now it's my turn to take action!" Vic used the Moon Step to avoid the crowd and retreated to the open space, then spoke.
The moment he opened his mouth, two knives were unsheathed, flashing cold lights. Several students who rushed in front of him were stabbed by him repeatedly, and each of them had a red mark on his face.
Before he could figure out which move he should use to attack, he was already sent flying. They were all stunned. It was too fast. They would like to respectfully call Vic a "fast boy", a serious one!
