Chapter 247: Sneak Attack
Even though that punch did not use Ryuo, it still caused internal damage. He couldn't hold back and vomited blood while rolling on the ground. His entire eyeball was bloodshot and red. After the rolling trend stopped, there was still a pure white in front of his eyes. He was temporarily blinded by Vic's heavy blow.
Vic wanted to make Zero feel hopeless, so he didn't use combos on Zero. He just knocked you down again and again to see how long your will could hold out.
Vic knew that Ace was defeated by Whitebeard time and time again, and in the face of such desperately powerful strength, his will to always win collapsed. He became Whitebeard's son and wanted to support Whitebeard to become the Pirate King.
From then on, Ace's invincible will was broken by Whitebeard. This is also the point where Ace is inferior to Straw Hat Luffy. No matter how many times Straw Hat Luffy is knocked down by Kaido, he will still punch Kaido after he stands up until he defeats Kaido or is beaten to death by Kaido.
For the goal of becoming the Pirate King, he is willing to sacrifice his life for it. This is what he said to Coby when he went out to sea. Vic does not believe that Zero's willpower can match that of the Straw Hat Boy.
"If you still have the means, use them now, or you won't have a chance. I'm also in a hurry."
Vic looked at Zero who got up and walked towards him and said calmly that he wanted to make sure that Zero could be easily knocked down by him even after he used his strongest attack. He didn't believe that Zero had the talent of the Straw Hat Boy to learn new skills temporarily, and he was not too worried even if he did.
"You are really strong. Even without a sword, you can easily defeat me. It is incredible that you are still in the elite camp with such strength!
Are the high-ranking officers of the Navy blind? Or have you never demonstrated your full combat power in the Navy? Are you hiding your strength?"
After Zero came closer, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked. This was really something he couldn't understand. The navy was so willful to have such a strong combat force and not use it. He had been full of this question in his mind before, and he was considerate of himself for not asking it until now.
"Don't you see I'm still young? I'm only 17 years old this year. I can't be accepted by the navy at this age, so I have to go out to sea and accumulate some military merits.
I just didn't expect to run into you guys. I'm so unlucky. I ran into a gang like you that is not from an affiliated country. Even if I destroy you, I won't get any military merit. This time I've done it in vain." Vic said this to create pressure.
"Is that so? With such a growth rate, it should be easy for him to become a navy admiral in the future. I didn't expect that we would be so lucky to meet a young talent who can become a navy admiral in the future. It's fate and timing!"
When Zero found out about Vic's age, he was indeed surprised, but he quickly returned to normal, as if he had come to terms with something.
Zero leaped towards Vic, aiming his long horns at Vic's neck. Maybe Vic's punch just now was too powerful, and Zero's brain had not fully recovered, so his attack was not as perfect as before.
The flaw in this attack was very obvious, and the entire chest was exposed to Vic. Seeing the enemy's obvious flaw, Vic would not miss it. He leaned back to avoid the long, big, black sharp horns, and then his right foot drew an arc and hit Zero's chest.
Zero's body flew out directly, but Vic felt that this kick did not feel right. There was not as much resistance as when he attacked Zero before. Vic was a little confused. After kicking Zero and turning over to stand up again, he found that Zero was using the huge force of his kick to fly towards Rebecca.
"Rebecca, be careful!" Only then did Vic realize that Zero's target was actually Rebecca.
He also used his enormous strength and speed to fly towards Rebecca. Was he trying to avenge the miserable Old Nine or was he trying to capture a hostage?
Zero knew that no matter how fast he was, he couldn't escape Vic's pursuit. The possibility of getting rid of Vic and attacking other people was too small. Any rash attempt would only arouse Vic's suspicion. He actually chose to get injured and use Vic's power to speed up. He was indeed a ruthless person.
Rebecca didn't hear Vic's shout at this time. Zero's speed had already exceeded several times the speed of sound. It can be said that the attack came in an instant.
But Rebecca's observation Haki and instinct were both warning her frantically. Rebecca had a strong sense of combat and as soon as she sensed the danger, she drew her sword and turned around to meet the attack.
Zero's giant black fist didn't care about the blue sword blocking in front of it, and his fist went straight towards the sword blade. The moment the fist and the sword touched, Rebecca felt the tremendous force on the fist. She knew very well that she couldn't resist it even if she held the sword with both hands. At the critical moment, Rebecca flipped the sword.
"boom"
A dull sound was heard. It was the sound of Zero's fist hitting Rebecca's chest with the sword. The moment Rebecca was hit, she spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out.
The blood was dragged by Rebecca's body and became like a bright red ribbon. If this scene was frozen into a painting, then the painting of the ribbon fluttering in the sea of flowers would appear extremely beautiful!
Rebecca had suffered serious internal injuries from this attack, but this was still considered a good thing. It was thanks to Rebecca's quick reaction that she flipped the double-edged sword. Otherwise, the sword would have been cut into the body by the domineering fist and it would have been really dangerous. With such a heavy fist and such a sharp sword, it is possible that the person would be cut in half.
"what!"
When Xiaonan saw Rebecca was seriously injured in an instant, he screamed in shock, with an incredible look on his face. Rebecca, who was invincible just now, was actually seriously injured by the rhino man. This was totally not the result of a fight of the same level.
Ian was also very nervous, holding the corner of her clothes tightly with her little hands as she looked at the battlefield. Although she didn't like Rebecca and Vic getting too close, she also didn't want Rebecca, who had slept with her for so long and taken care of her for so long, to get hurt!
She called Vic's name in her heart, which made her feel calmer. Vic would not put Rebecca's life in danger.
Zero, who had succeeded in one strike, didn't want to let Rebecca go. Although he was injured by a heavy kick from Vic, he didn't care about that now. He continued to run towards the place where Rebecca fell, wanting to kill Rebecca directly.
But before he could get close to Rebecca, he was blocked by a figure. It was Vic, who realized he had been tricked and moved over at full speed.
A fierce light flashed in Vic's eyes, and without stopping, he punched Zero in the cheek. Vic originally wanted to punch Zero in the face so that his facial features would hit into his brain.
It was just that the big horn on Zero's nose was too much of a hindrance, and Zero was completely unable to react in time to the attack, and was knocked back to the battlefield by Vic's punch.
