Chapter 173: Foreseeing the Future
"It's not enough to be able to foresee someone's attack. You need to have the nerve reaction and limb speed to dodge the attack, and the strength and means to counterattack.
Having the ability to foresee the future only means that your starting point is very high, but you must also master other means one by one.
You are now like a child with the wisdom of an adult, fighting with a real adult. Although you can clearly see his moves and even where he hits you, your child's body limits you and you cannot defeat him!"
Vic's mentor attribute is online again. He cares a lot about his crew members, and he is also a talented player whose observation Haki is better than his own.
"Okay, Captain, I understand. I will try my best!" Fredek said seriously.
"Eat more sea king meat in the future. This meat is very nutritious and can help you become stronger quickly!"
"Hmm!" Fredek said vaguely. He had listened to Vic's words and started eating meat with big mouthfuls, causing the others to laugh.
Fredek now has a pair of glasses, and he can see things much more clearly, but the degree of the glasses is still a little low, and he cannot wear them for a long time, otherwise it will cause greater damage to his eyes. So he still has to go to the island. Fortunately, the warship also needs supplies, so this problem can be solved in the near future.
Fredek started training in the afternoon, mainly physical exercises. Although Fredek's physical fitness was normal, it was much worse than those in the elite camp, so Zefa decided to lay a good foundation for him before learning the six styles, during which time he would practice the control and release of the Observation Haki.
Vic's sea king meals were also being served as normal. Fredek, who was very tired after exercising for an entire afternoon, immediately felt much more energetic after eating the sea king meals, and his physical fatigue was greatly reduced.
This is exactly what Vic wants to see. Fredek is still young, only 28 years old this year. He is in the best physical condition. He can eat, sleep and run, but he is a little shy.
But Vic believed that under the influence of this vast ocean, he would become open-minded. Now he probably behaved like this because he was too weak. As long as people become stronger, they will become more or less inflated, and their personalities will change accordingly.
"Fredek, you can just live in Barnett's room. If you have any questions, just ask him. Barnett, you go and make the arrangements!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"give it to me."
The two men left, Rebecca and Wendy took Ian to the dormitory, and Vic returned to his own territory and sat down.
Today he met a person who had the ability to foresee the future, which made Vic feel excited. If he could also master it, it would be of great help in battle.
"Could it be that Fredek's Observation Haki was awakened because of his poor eyesight? It shouldn't be just that. His Observation Haki talent should also be very high. Otherwise, it is unimaginable that he has reached the point of foreseeing the future without any contact with Haki at this age!
No matter how you look at it, he seems to be a pig who is playing the pig and eating the tiger, but Fredek is not like that. It's just that he himself can't tell when his observation Haki awakened.
There is no way to find experience in it. Luffy mastered it when he was on the verge of death in the battle with Katakuri. Fredek definitely did not have such an experience. How did he achieve it?
The original work has some descriptions of Ryuo, but it does not say how to foresee the future. Foreseeing the future should be an advanced application like Ryuo.
There should be no requirement for the coverage of domineering power. It should not develop in one direction. It should still be predicted that the attack will continue in that direction. It still has to start from this aspect. "Vic sat cross-legged on the deck and thought secretly.
The Observation Haki mentioned by Rayleigh in the original work has two directions: the perception of breath and the prediction of moves.
One is to sense the number of enemies that are out of sight, and the other is the enemy's next move.
Both directions can be further developed, represented by Yixiao and Kaji. One is the ability to perceive a wide range of objects, up to the level of meteorites in outer space, and the other is the ability to predict more actions, up to the level of seeing the short future.
Of course, there are definitely some other applications of the color of seeing and hearing, such as the secret sound transmission developed by Vic, which is the basis of one direction.
Once the integration of secret voice transmission and implanted images is further improved, it may become a new advanced application that can create illusions in the enemy's mind and weave out a non-existent enemy.
The enemy can be pitted against the air in a battle of wits and courage. A strong person may be able to tell the difference quickly, but a battle between strong people may have a different outcome with just a slight influence.
For an idiot like Wang Luffy, it might be difficult for him to distinguish between reality and illusion. After all, the perverted thing about the Song-Song Fruit is that it pulls all the people who are listening to the song into the illusion.
As expected, Wang Luffy fell into the trap. He seemed to have no resistance to illusions and hypnosis. Uta could only do such a horrible thing with the power of his fruit, but if his observation Haki was well developed, he could still make a person fall into an illusion.
"It's a bit unrealistic to want to learn to foresee the future in one battle like Luffy did. I still have to proceed step by step. If I really can't learn it, I can only take a risk and go fight with the emperor of the sea to see if I can learn it!"
Victor analyzed how Luffy learned to foresee the future. It is difficult to replicate this. First, you need to find an opponent who is stronger than you. Secondly, this opponent must be able to foresee the future and learn while fighting. The third is that this opponent must kill you and put you in life and death crisis. Only then will it be possible to break through in the battle.
But now in Vic's case, the only one who can meet all these conditions at the same time is probably a strong man at the level of the Sea Emperor.
Not to mention that the admirals of the navy are inferior to the four emperors, Victor is now a member of the navy system. Which admiral would kill him except Akainu, but Akainu will not do it openly.
Vic's strength is still improving, and it is impossible for Akainu to kill Vic quietly, so when the time comes to break through through battle, Vic will choose to fight the Sea Emperor.
The ability to foresee the future still needs to be mastered. Most of the top warriors should have it. The reason you can't tell that he used it may be because both sides in the battle can use it.
It looks just like a normal battle, it just depends on who can see farther, but one can and the other can't, so the gap between them is huge.
If Katakuri knew how to dominate, Luffy would not have been able to persist until he learned how to foresee the future. He was always beaten by Katakuri. This is the difference between knowing how to do it and not knowing how to do it, and it can be seen at a glance during the battle.
After figuring it out, Vic was not in a hurry to practice foresight. He had already practiced Observation Haki during the day, and now was the time to practice Armament Haki. It was just a one-night break, so there was no need to change the practice plan. Vic continued to use Armament Haki to nourish his two swords.
The next day, Fredek got up very early, and the first thing he saw when he arrived on the deck was Vic. Although he heard from Barnett yesterday that Vic also practiced on the deck at night, when he saw Vic meditating so early in the morning, he felt that the captain he knew was working too hard. He was so strong but still worked so hard, and didn't give anyone else a chance to surpass him!
