Chapter 148 The General and the Four Emperors
"You two should go and get some rest. It's getting late. Girls will age quickly if they don't get enough sleep. This world is very unfair to you girls!" Vic wanted to study the next ring alone, so he sent the two girls to bed.
"Ah! Is there such a saying? Wendy, let's go to bed quickly!" Rebecca panicked when she heard it, and quickly pulled Wendy into the cabin. When Wendy left, she looked at Vic meaningfully, and then turned her head away.
"Women are really afraid of getting old. Even a girl under 20 is not immune to this. She was frightened by just one sentence. It seems that I have to prepare some pure gold jewelry for Rebecca in the future!"
Vic said with some emotion. He didn't have much reaction to Wendy's meaningful look. He still understood Wendy's character. Although she was much smarter than Rebecca, she had a good heart and would not do anything to hurt others. Rebecca was just a little more naive and energetic.
After the two women left, there were basically no trainees on the deck, and only extra personnel on the warship were on duty.
When Zefa saw Vic coming back, he didn't come over to say hello. After announcing the departure, he went to rest. After all, Zefa is not young anymore.
Vic sat cross-legged on the deck, examining the ring on his hand, trying to figure out its purpose.
However, two hours passed and Vic still had no clue. It seemed like it was just an ordinary ornament, but Vic knew that this ring was definitely not ordinary, as he could guess from the patterns on it.
"Forget it, maybe the opportunity hasn't come yet. Just like the divine staff, if I hadn't let the void thunder strike for more than five minutes, I wouldn't have noticed the effect of the thunder on my domineering aura.
Of course, this is also related to my sensitivity to changes in domineering aura. Ordinary people may just feel that they will be attacked. It is hard to say whether they will use it to attack themselves in the future. Just let it go and you will know!"
Vic put down his research on the ring. There was no need to be too anxious about the thing in his hand. Some things could not be obtained by force. Maybe it only took a certain opportunity. When the opportunity came, he would naturally know the purpose of the thing. After putting down the research, Vic directly began to meditate and practice domineering.
The next day, the elite battalion resumed its daily training, but now the warship's itinerary had changed. It would no longer go back to the Water City, but took another route.
There are very few islands on this route that the main group has visited in the original work. There may be some islands that have merged with the route in the Water City. The further you sail towards the Upside-Down Mountain, the more the route diverges.
Vic looked at Zefa, then at the other students who were training seriously, and he thought a lot.
He himself was gifted and had foresight, so he had trained his body very well since he was young, and he learned the physical skills and domineering skills in a very short time.
Of course, I have also suffered a lot. I have been training and practicing every day for the past few years. Now, in order to master domineering aura, I have been beaten a lot and was almost killed several times.
It was fine when I was on Lep Island, my strength was only improving steadily in small increments, but after I came to the navy, the level I was exposed to was different.
Over the past six months, my strength has improved even more. I have learned the Six Styles, Haki, and Ryuo. This is why so many pirates and navy officers can master Haki when they arrive in the New World. One reason is the survival of the fittest, and the long-term life-and-death battles. The other is the improvement of my experience, which has brought me to a different level, and I know the final answer in advance.
It is difficult to invent something from scratch, but it is relatively easier to manufacture something once you know that it exists. Moreover, there are many experienced masters who can teach you.
Zefa and the students did not have Vic's foresight, so it was difficult for them to exercise in such a systematic way when they were young.
They may be able to fight and have some practical combat skills, but the basics are still not there. Basically, they only start systematic training after joining the navy.
Therefore, they will need a longer time to accumulate and strengthen their bodies, and the improvement of strength will also take a longer time. This is the gap caused by different levels.
Rebecca has also received systematic training from Vic since she was a child. Although she is not very old now, her strength is no longer on the same level as other elite camps.
Barnett was able to learn shaving so quickly because he cheated by relying on the ability of his fruit. After only half a year of training in the elite camp, he was already a genius if he could learn two or three of the six styles.
Most people spend several years of persistent training after being assigned to their posts to master the skills. Some people are greedy for pleasure, and may remain the same as they were when they were assigned.
The elite camp will teach you the method, but how much you can learn depends on yourself. Some people go further after learning the Six Styles, which is the awakening of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, and they have the possibility of becoming lieutenant generals of the headquarters.
There is still a huge gap between Vic and the top strong men on the sea. Although he has the unreasonable power of willpower, it is still futile in the face of absolute strength!
The last time he used his mental power and Ryuo to injure Akainu, it cannot be said that Victor’s strength has reached the admiral level.
Although the two were restricted from attacking with their full strength, for Akainu, most of his strength was in the magma fruit.
Later, Akainu was stopped by Sengoku before he could use a few moves with the Magma Fruit, not to mention that the awakened ability of the fruit was useless.
Moreover, Akainu has not yet reached the peak of his period during the Marineford War, and his domineering aura can still be further improved. What's more, the Four Emperors whose combat power is even higher than that of the admirals, the gap will only be bigger.
Don't talk about being at the same level as the emperor. How could they be at the same level? Eighteen years later, the navy has three admirals, the pirates have four emperors, and the navy also has two veteran admirals, Sengoku and Garp. Zephyr is not included in them.
These forces are still not enough to fight against the Four Emperors, and they still need the help of the Seven Warlords to achieve balance.
Can Sengoku, Garp and the seven Shichibukai barely match one of the Four Emperors?
Where does Pirate King Roger's face go? Where does Hawkeye Mihawk's face go? Where does Navy hero Garp's face go?
There is no such thing as Garp's strength declining with aging. Is it a joke that Roger was forced into a desperate situation by Garp several times? The Four Emperors' extra Tyrant Entanglement skill alone is not comparable to the Admirals. There is still a difference in level between them.
It is possible that the Four Emperors and the admirals all have the ability to foresee the future through Observation Haki, and they should also be able to flow Armament Haki, which also has different strengths. However, among the navy, only Sengoku has Conqueror Haki, and it is not clear whether he can do it. But among the Four Emperors, there is no one who cannot do it. If you can't do it, you should be embarrassed to call yourself the emperor of the sea.
