Chapter 89: Moon Watching and Dragon Slaying
After receiving the massage, Barnett will use his devil fruit ability in the cabin to help everyone recover their strength.
Yes, Barnett's devil fruit is a parahuman-type replenishing fruit that can replenish various missing things for people.
Of course, the details are still related to his development. Now he can only replenish body water, basic nutrition, recovery of minor wounds, and physical strength.
As for what can be developed in the future, it is hard to say. Anyway, this is an auxiliary devil fruit.
It was also the first time that Vic saw Barnett use the power of the devil fruit, which was to simply place his hands on someone else's body.
When in use, the palm will emit different light, and the palm will be covered by the light, making it difficult to see clearly.
Vic has thought about the development direction of this fruit. If it can be developed, it will be a god-level fruit in the auxiliary world.
However, this devil fruit should have a lot to do with the physical strength of the user. This is a common problem of many parahuman devil fruits.
Like his own Speed-Speed Fruit and Trafalgar Law's Surgery Fruit, they all require strong physical strength to support.
Vic's physical strength is too strong, so the effect of the fruit is very small. But looking at Barnett, although his physical strength is pretty good in the recruit camp, it is naturally far behind his.
Vic didn't need Barnett to recover for him. He didn't consume any energy in the past few hours. He could have persisted even if he rowed for ten days and ten nights.
Time passed, the rowing students changed several times, and now it was Vic's group's turn.
Vic didn't row at full speed all the time, but kept pace with the others. He also needed to conserve his energy to deal with emergencies.
So Vic took over the shift like everyone else. Not long into the row, he heard screams coming from the side.
"Ah, look, what is that, it's coming."
The female student didn't see it clearly. The lightning was only a flash, and she only saw a huge monster not far from the boat.
"It's a waterspout, coming towards us! It's huge!"
After another flash of lightning, a female student saw it clearly, but the waterspout was so huge that the warship could not see anything after being sucked into it.
Then, people on the deck began to talk in fear and worry, and Vic also used his Observation Haki to sense it.
This waterspout is indeed unusual. Not only is it huge, but it is also rotating very quickly and is approaching the warship.
The waterspout was too big, and the warship was on its way. With the speed of the warship, it could not escape the suction force when it approached. The warship would definitely be sucked into it, and the ship would be destroyed and people on board would die.
Vic knew there was no time to hesitate, so he told everyone to row quickly and get to the side of the ship, which was where the waterspout would first hit.
When Vic arrived, Gion was already standing here, staring at the waterspout in front of him with a serious expression. The waterspout was so huge, like a mountain pressing towards the warship.
"Major General Gion, do you have any way to solve this waterspout?" Vic asked Gion.
Gion rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm the admiral of the navy? Is this level of natural disaster so easy to solve? I'm just a small major general, you bastard!"
"I can only try my best to see if I can solve it with a slash!" Gion pulled out the Kinpila from his waist and said solemnly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gion had already sent a sword aura towards the water tornado, but the sword aura was too small compared to the water tornado, and it only created a splash of water on the surface of the water tornado.
Gion was unwilling to give up, and threw out several more sword energies, but to little effect, the waterspout was still moving towards the warship steadily.
Gion sheathed the Kinpila and calmed down. It wasn't that she gave up. Judging from her posture, she was preparing to use a big move.
Gion remained calm, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the waterspout in front of him.
"Ittōryu·Iai-Mochizuki"
With a loud shout from Gion, the Golden Pira was instantly unsheathed, and a stream of light as bright as moonlight poured out.
The speed seemed slow and graceful, but Vic could feel the power in it, and he himself could not underestimate it, as he would also be hurt by such an attack.
Gion had never used it in previous fights. It might be because she couldn't accumulate sword energy for such a long time during a fight, or maybe she didn't really want to hurt Vic. Only Gion herself knew this.
Wangyue hit the waterspout, and the huge water column of the waterspout was cut in half. The lightning on the other side of the waterspout could be seen from this side.
But the waterspout recovered soon and had some effect, but not much.
After using this ultimate move, Gion was obviously a little depressed, his brows were furrowed, and his face became even paler.
Vic knew she had done her best and now she had to rely on herself.
Vic put his hands on the warship and began to use the ability of his Speedy Fruit to speed up the warship.
The speed of the warship began to increase, one time, two times, three times, and finally to five times. This was Vic's current limit.
After all, the warship was too huge and he was already struggling. Everyone on the ship was puzzled by the sudden acceleration of the warship.
I thought the people rowing were working harder, but Gion noticed that Vic's face also turned grim.
She didn't know that Vic had eaten the devil fruit. After all, this guy went to the sea every day and concealed it very well.
Rebecca was probably the only one on the ship who knew what was going on. She quickly came to where Vic and Gion were.
When she saw Vic's hand on the boat, she knew what was going on. She had never seen Vic's face look like this, except for the battle with Vice Admiral Garp. She knew that Vic was just holding on.
Vic knew that his ability had reached its limit, but when he saw the speed of the waterspout, a quick calculation showed that the warship still could not escape.
As a result, the water tornado was getting closer and closer to the warship, and Victor had no way of saving the warship with the power of the Speed-Speed Fruit.
Vic didn't waste any more time. He withdrew his hand and gave up this method. He had to think of a new way.
He could have easily escaped by himself, but there were so many people on the warship, and he couldn't just stand by and watch them die unless it was absolutely necessary.
"I can only try that trick!"
Vic squatted slightly, spread his legs, and made a sword-drawing and slashing posture, silently preparing his attack.
"Is Vic finally going to be serious too?"
"Come on, Vic!"
Gion also saw that Vic was ready to give it his all, so he stood by and said nothing. Rebecca also stood by Vic to accompany him.
The water tornado was getting closer and closer, but Vic's moves were not getting any better, which made the two women very nervous!
Vic's heart is now completely immersed in the blood in his hand. His determination to destroy the waterspout is growing stronger and stronger, and Vic's face is becoming more and more serious.
Just as the warship was being pulled to the side by the waterspout, the cadets' screams of fear were heard on board.
It was hard to remain calm watching the warship getting closer and closer to the waterspout, and the cadets' shouting stimulated Vic's heart.
"One Sword Style: Dragon Slash"
This was a name that Vic called out subconsciously in order to cut off the waterspout.
A huge black sword aura, carrying Vic's strong belief, broke through the heavy rain in the sky and formed a sword-shaped vacuum zone.
It flew diagonally upwards towards the water tornado. The sword energy became larger and larger as it went forward, becoming thinner and thinner as it slashed towards the sky above the water tornado.
A sound of sword ringing was heard, which was the sound of the sword being unsheathed. The sound did not spread until the sword energy flew far away. At this time, the sword energy had already touched the water tornado.
In just a moment, the sword energy cut through the water tornado and flew away into the sky, affecting the wind around the water tornado.
In the light of lightning, everyone discovered that the water column that had not changed much after the sword energy had just passed through the waterspout was slowly separating.
An upward slanting cut appeared, and the distance between the upper and lower parts of the water column became larger and larger.
The wind force field around the water column was affected by the sword energy. The upper water column that was split was continued to be sucked upwards, while the lower water column had fallen back into the sea under the influence of gravity.
After a breath, the water column all crashed into the sea, the waterspout disappeared, and then a huge tsunami hit the ship. These were the huge waves caused by the water column entering the sea.
Victor quickly placed his hands on the warship and used the power of the fruit to speed up the ship. However, this time he did not use it to the limit, only three times the speed, but it was already enough to exceed the speed of the huge waves.
At this time, the people on the boat had not yet recovered from Vic's sword energy.
They saw that huge black slash, which was powerful enough to cut through mountains. They had never seen it before!
This is already a natural disaster-like strength. In a few years, this man might be able to cut off the Red Earth Continent with one sword! Someone thought.
At this time, Vic was also out of breath. He was very mentally exhausted and had to use the ability of the fruit to avoid the tsunami. He was no longer as calm and composed as before.
Gion stared at Vic's profile in a daze, his face dull, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves!
She is not an amateur who doesn't understand kendo. She knows what Vic's move represents. If such a move can become the norm and can be used at any time, then he will definitely be a general-level fighter!
Vic has already taken this path. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the top swordsman in the entire ocean in the future!
This is exactly what Gion has been working towards, and she finally saw it today.
The farther a tsunami is from where the water column falls, the less powerful it is and the slower it travels.
The warship had rowed far away and was no longer affected.
Vic was also slowly slowing down the speed of the warship. He couldn't let his physical strength be exhausted, otherwise he would be in trouble if something unexpected happened.
