Chapter 57: Gun Pointing
The next evening, Smoker left the beach house feeling depressed because Vic refused to spar with him and thought he was too weak.
Tina followed Smoker with a smile on her face.
After cleaning up the mess, Vic took out his homemade bamboo sword, and Rebecca consciously blindfolded herself and assumed a fighting stance.
Vic also closed his eyes, came to Rebecca, and started today's training.
"Rebecca, you have to concentrate your mind and sense the bamboo sword I am swinging at you. You can't really treat the bamboo sword as a bamboo sword. You have to dodge it as if it were a real sword. If you can't dodge it once, you will die. Only at the moment of life and death will it be easier to awaken the observation Haki."
Vic told Rebecca seriously that he had awakened at the critical moment of life and death.
Although Vic was reluctant to hurt Rebecca, in order to help her master the Observation Haki quickly, he had to let her suffer some minor injuries now so that she would suffer less injuries when facing real enemies in the future.
Rebecca nodded!
……
The students taking the sailing class noticed that Rebecca always had wounds on her head and face during this period. The old wounds had not healed yet, and new ones had appeared. They were all wondering what she had been through?
It's still considered good in this state, with sea king meat to eat every day, and the high content of spiritual energy can quickly recover from injuries.
It’s just that the recovery can’t keep up with the speed of further injury.
But there are results. Rebecca can occasionally dodge an attack, which shows that the approach is right and if you persist, there will be results.
Vic does this training for an hour every day.
The rest of the time is for Vic's personal practice.
But Victor's most practice is still in comprehending the Armament Haki, and he meditates for a long time every day.
Concentrate your thoughts on yourself and try to mobilize those black particles.
He had no idea at all during the first few days, as his thoughts were too dispersed throughout his body, and the black particles were not moved at all.
Later, Vic remembered what Zefa said, and started from the part that was easiest to control. He scanned his body up and down, then raised his hands, looking at them steadily, and he remembered the six-style finger gun.
"I see. There's a reason why the finger gun was singled out as a special skill. It's really well-intentioned!"
Fingers are the most flexible and most used part of our body. It is easier to feel Haki from this place. This is what the navy uses to teach the basics of Haki.
Pointing the gun is a transitional stage that connects the past and the future.
The six skills of the Six Styles are not explicitly told to you: If you want to learn Haki, it will be easier to awaken Haki if you master the Six Styles!
But as long as you study what the instructor teaches seriously, he will guide you closer to the awakening of domineering.
After figuring it out, Vic concentrated all his mental power on the index finger of his right hand, and then he accomplished something that he had never been able to do before.
He mobilized the black particles in the cells of his index finger and they appeared on the surface of his index finger. Although there were not many of them, it was already a great improvement.
"Finally succeeded, but I still have to learn the basics. Skipping grades is really not advisable! What a waste of time! I'm not talking about you, Zoro, hahaha!"
Vic was very happy because he finally found the key to open the door to armed color domineering.
The door has been opened. As long as you persist in practicing, you will gradually grow stronger with a skilled body until you awaken!
The fog has dissipated, the way forward has appeared, and Vic will stride forward.
……
Within two days, Vic was able to use the finger gun skillfully, and many big trees in the forest were poked with holes by Vic.
Now all ten of his fingers can flexibly mobilize the black particles.
"You still need to fight a few more times, so that you can master it well!"
Vic's willpower is not weak to begin with, as can be seen from his ability to use his Observation Haki flexibly.
Vic is trying to control more black particles. He knows that when there are enough black particles, it will be the domineering appearance, or awakening.
However, Vic can only control a few layers of cells in the epidermis to release black particles, so there is not much effect at present. There are only a few wisps of faint light that appear and disappear from time to time!
"Don't worry. I'll be in the recruit camp for half a year and the elite camp for half a year. That's a year. I still have a relatively comfortable year to accumulate experience."
......
Time flies.
It has been a month since Vic came to Marineford. One morning when they were doing morning exercises, Andrew told Vic a piece of news.
"You have exams tomorrow, and you have to take every subject. Do your best and don't embarrass yourself. You have to do what you said and be a real man!"
Vic grinned, looking down on no one, he had memorized everything in the book long ago.
Vic was not worried at all. After running exercises, he went to the elite camp. As a result, Zefa was not there today, so Vic's plan fell through.
Vic practiced finger guns with the elite camp students. He used the finger gun and the student used a block of iron. The attack and defense were quite harmonious.
Smoker has been developing his Devil Fruit. Vic sees this and secretly shakes his head:
What's so good about developing a rubbish nature-type? How awesome is your Speed-Speed Fruit? Now it can speed up 15 times, which is too fast. The female students are a little dissatisfied because every time it blows their clothes up, and they are left alone in the same place before they even see anyone.
Vic right now wants to awaken the Armament Haki and beat up Smoker. He is either developing the fruit or on the way to developing the fruit. With your illiterate appearance, what can you do? Vic doesn't even want to complain.
After practicing his finger gun, Vic left when he saw that Zefa had not returned yet.
When we got back to the cabin, Rebecca was already there.
"Rebecca, we won't practice Observation Haki today. You have an exam tomorrow, so you can take a day off." Vic smiled at Rebecca.
He felt a little embarrassed. He beat Rebecca every day until her face was bruised and swollen and her head had lumps. Fortunately, they were not a couple, otherwise people would have accused Vic of domestic violence.
"Vic, I only need to take one exam, it won't be a problem." Rebecca replied.
She really wanted to become stronger, but Vic was getting stronger too fast, and she felt the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and she felt a sense of urgency.
There was worry in Rebecca's eyes, but Vic didn't notice.
"No need. It's a good chance that I don't get beaten. I'll take good care of my injuries and try to be beautiful again in time for the exam. Hahaha!" Vic laughed.
It was so funny to see Rebecca with a bruised face.
Rebecca had been injured when they practiced against each other before, but the injuries were rarely on her head and face. This was the first time Vic saw Rebecca like this, so he felt the difference was huge. It was funny to think about her previous appearance.
"You're laughing again. You've promised me so many times, but you never keep your promise. Humph!"
Rebecca was a little annoyed. Every time Vic laughed, he promised her that it was the last time, but he still laughed when they saw each other again.
"I said I won't laugh, and I won't laugh unless I can't help it. Hahaha!" Vic laughed even more happily.
"Hmph, you bastard Vic! I'm not going to pay attention to you!" Rebecca was angry. She turned her head away from Vic and sulked to herself.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't be angry. I won't laugh anymore." Vic stopped laughing and comforted Rebecca.
"Rebecca, hasn't Grandma Crane come back yet?" Vic asked again.
"No, he came to the recruit camp to see me once and then set sail. He said he was going on a mission in the North Sea and he hasn't come back since."
Rebecca also missed Granny Crane a little. Granny Crane was one of the few acquaintances Rebecca had.
Vic thought about it. It is now the year 1504 in the Haiyuan calendar. It is very likely that Granny Crane is chasing the Don Quixote family in the North Sea!
It’s not easy to come back from the North Sea, but don’t worry. Granny Crane is still very powerful, and no one in the Don Quixote family can match her.
"Well, Granny Crane is very powerful, you don't have to worry about her safety." Vic said indifferently.
Rebecca nodded without saying anything.
Vic didn't continue chatting with Rebecca, he started his own gun-fighting training journey again.
Vic is no longer limited to ten fingers, but is trying to feel, mobilize and strengthen his entire body inch by inch!
He knew that once the black particles in all the epidermal cells in his body were mobilized, he would become a block of iron.
Now that he has a direction, Vic only needs to do these things every day to strengthen and increase his control over the black particles. Now it is just a process of accumulating time.
Wick couldn't help but sigh that the Navy's Haki system needed to be more comprehensive. Reciting poems like Koshiro really increased the difficulty!
When he thought of Koshiro, he thought of Kuina again. It had been half a year since he separated from Kuina!
"I wonder how Kuina is doing, is she happy every day, and what she is doing now."
What is Kuina doing? There isn't much she can do, and she has a strict father. She is swinging her sword behind Isshin Dojo, very seriously!
This is the girl who later aspired to become the world's strongest swordsman!
In Shimotsuki Village, every time Kuina saw the small wooden house in front of her, her eyes would become more determined.
Vic sighed: Everyone has his own life. Sometimes you are in his life, sometimes you are a spectator, and sometimes you can only listen to his story...
