Chapter 365 Slow Light
Foxy's Slowness Fruit ability is indeed a bit abnormal. It is a rule-based superhuman ability. Rebecca's current domineering power is not enough to eliminate the influence of this ability. She has powerful strength but cannot use it. It is directly regularized, which is very frustrating.
"I think you four have some ability. It's a bit of a waste to stay in the navy. Why don't you join our Foxy Pirates? I promise you will have good food and drink. Join us, and we will be a family. As long as you promise me, I will let you go immediately. How about that?"
Foxy didn't attack Rebecca and the others for no reason. It was mainly because they were all carrying weapons, and their weapons were not ordinary items. It was obvious that they were powerful.
He has only been in the Grand Line for a short time, and the people around him are not very strong and can only cooperate with him. The Foxy Pirates are supported by him alone, so when he saw Rebecca and the others, he wanted to recruit them. It doesn't matter even if they are from the navy. Once you act with the pirates, you can't go back.
His dream is to form a large pirate group, which cannot be achieved through regular recruitment methods, so he wants to use his own abilities to see what the effect is, and then Rebecca and the others are ambushed.
"You're dreaming! If you want me to be a pirate, you should ask him!" Rebecca raised her chin behind Foxy and said with a teasing look in her eyes.
Foxy subconsciously looked back and was shocked. A slender figure appeared in the empty space just now. It was unknown when he approached. The man was wearing a standard navy cloak and there was a strange drum-shaped decoration on his back.
Vic was also surprised to see Foxy. He didn't expect that Foxy would go out to sea as a pirate at this time. Although he looked very anxious, he should be only in his twenties.
Seeing that the pirate was Foxy, Wick was relieved that Rebecca and the others were captured. With the ability of the Slow-Slow Fruit, it was normal to suffer losses due to carelessness. Moreover, the ability of this devil fruit was relative to his Speed-Speed Fruit. One accelerated and the other decelerated. Who knows what would happen if they collided.
Vic was also very curious about this. He had been developing the ability of the Speedy Fruit for several years, and the speed it could affect was getting faster and faster. He didn't know whether his ability to move within the slow light would be affected. This was a very interesting topic.
Even if an accident really happens and the speed of the Speed-Speed Fruit is suppressed by the Slow-Ray Ray, his powerful domineering aura can make this rule-based ability invalid. No matter what, he will not be in a situation where he is directly taken down like Rebecca and the others. This is his confidence, so Vic really wants to experience the Slow-Ray Ray.
The abilities of the rule system are very abnormal. Without domineering aura, they are almost unsolvable. Moreover, if the domineering aura is not strong enough, they cannot be broken. If you want to defeat them, you must find the weaknesses or make the user unconscious.
Once you are caught, you can only place your hope on others. For example, people with special abilities like Sucrose, Luffy and Law were all caught. If it weren't for Usopp, how many strong people would have to do hard labor as toys all their lives!
However, Armament Haki is not an absolute restraint on fruit ability users. Natural-type abilities can have their elemental bodies captured by Armament Haki, but their abilities cannot be rendered ineffective. Armament Haki has no special effect on Animal-type abilities, and is no different from beating ordinary people. However, if Armament Haki is invincible, all other abilities are nothing.
"Where did you come from, kid? You want to scare me to death and let me inherit my pirate group, right? Do you have any objection to me wanting them to join my pirate group?"
Fox still doesn't know what Haki is, and his abilities have never been matched by an opponent. So what if they are the navy? They'll just stand there and be manipulated by him.
Foxy is just a rookie who is not afraid of tigers. Most of the pirates in the first half are overconfident and have never suffered a beating. The same is true for the Straw Hat Pirates, so Shampoo was defeated and almost wiped out.
"These four guys are so weak that they have no future as your subordinates. I think it would be better for them to continue to be marines. Let them follow me! They will become weaker when I am not around. Anyway, they are not as strong as me."
Vic glanced at the four people who were tied up and teased. He didn't believe that Rebecca really couldn't deal with Foxy. The effect of the slow ray was only thirty seconds. After this time, it would be no problem for the flying sword to launch a sneak attack.
If Wendy and the other three were exposed to the slow light, they really had no way to resist it at the moment, so it was understandable that they were caught. However, it was very suspicious that Rebecca was caught. It was probably because he refused to let Rebecca go out shopping and deliberately made trouble in order to lure himself out.
Rebecca didn't dare to look at Vic. Her eyes were fixed on the sky, as if the clouds in the sky were really beautiful. She was indeed feeling guilty, otherwise the sword box would not be just a decoration.
Barnett and Fredek felt a little ashamed. This was because Fredek had the Observation Haki that could foresee the future, but he did not prepare for such an emergency. This was the result of his carelessness.
Barnett blamed himself for not being alert enough to his surroundings, which put everyone in crisis. Fortunately, the branch leader just wanted to recruit his younger brother and did not kill him directly, otherwise Vic would have come too late. This is also a lesson that he will remember firmly.
"I don't care what you think, I care what I think. I'm optimistic about them, too. They will definitely become outstanding pirates. If you don't want to be caught by me, get out of here right away. I don't really want to fight with someone like you!"
Although Foxy is not afraid of the navy, Vic is obviously not an ordinary navy. His sudden appearance is very strange. The navy also has many people with special abilities, so it is better not to take action if possible.
"Really? Then let's give it a try. They will follow whoever wins in the end."
Vic said lightly, and walked towards Foxy as he spoke, completely ignoring the worried looks of Barnett and Wendy. However, seeing the confident Vic, they did not remind Vic. Fredek did not show such a look either. He should have seen something with his Observation Haki that could foresee the future.
Seeing Vic walking towards him fearlessly, Foxy no longer hesitated. He pinched the middle finger and ring finger of his right thumb and pointed them towards Vic. Circles of light pink light waves appeared between his index finger and little finger and shot towards Vic. The light waves grew larger and larger as they moved forward, until circles of light waves enveloped and passed through Vic's body.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey! You’re doomed to fail after being hit by my slow beam. Go tie him up!”
Foxy was very proud. He didn't expect that the sailor in front of him didn't even try to dodge. He was no different from a rookie who just went to sea.
