Chapter 376 Behind the Legend
When Vic launched his second attack, Garp had already fully activated his Observation Haki. The sight of the reef being annihilated inch by inch by the laser when it was hit completely shocked him. This power exceeded most of the attacks of the admirals of the navy!
And this was just a random attack from Vic. He wasn't sure whether there were more powerful attacks, but there was a high probability that there were. Given Vic's character, he would not use his strongest move directly.
Garp wasn't sure if he could withstand Vic's strongest laser. This guy is so awesome! He developed a terrifying move casually. He is really a natural! If he doesn't eat the devil fruit, it would be a waste of talent. Garp thought to himself, and his eyes brightened when he looked at Vic. This is the future successor of the navy!
"Vic! Promise me you won't use this trick to test me again. I'm scared!"
Rebecca's face turned pale. Vic liked to test her ability when he had nothing to do, so that he could know her level in various aspects and whether she needed some guidance.
It can also improve her combat ability, but after seeing Vic use laser, Rebecca became a little worried. Usually Vic would use lightning to test her armament color defense, so would he use the laser just now to test it in the future?
She had no confidence that she could block this thing. She estimated that the hardened armament color would collapse instantly, and then she would be melted by the beautiful laser. It was scary just thinking about it!
"Don't worry, I prepared this move for the enemy. I don't need to use a butcher knife to test you. Don't be afraid!"
Vic knew the upper limit of the laser, so he would naturally not use it on his own people. This thing was like a sword that could be quickly extended and retracted and was extremely sharp. If it was stabbed, a hole would be made, and if it was scratched, it would break into two halves. It was too sharp!
If it wasn't for the black knife or the entangled domineering aura, even the supreme sword would be cut off instantly, and it would not be able to be blocked if the domineering aura was not strong enough!
Although the Supreme Great Sword is the weapon of the highest quality, it has not yet transcended the category of metal, just like Zoro's Snow Blade was instantly corroded by the Rust Embroidery Fruit, this is the characteristic of metal.
The Supreme Blade was also made by humans. There is a limit to the temperature of things that humans can make. What is the difference between such a metal weapon and paper under Vic's laser? To say that it can cut iron like mud is an exaggeration.
If being scanned by a laser, what is the difference between that and being slashed by the Black Knife Night? Therefore, Vic will not use such a domineering move on his own people. He never used it when fighting with the old man. You know, the old man is the ceiling of armed color. But Vic still doesn't dare to try it easily. There are many powerful pirates in the New World. He can just find them to try his moves when the time comes.
"If you encounter a pirate ship in the future, you don't need me to take action. My Fist Bone Meteor Swarm is no match for your move. In terms of attack power and efficiency, you are still the best!"
Garp sighed and said that in the past, when he encountered a pirate ship that did not require him to take direct action, he would basically just drop cannonballs with his bare hands to sink it.
But after seeing Wick's laser, he knew that his shells were inferior to Wick's in terms of speed, quantity, and destructive power. When encountering a pirate ship, Wick might only need one laser to sink it, and it would be difficult to dodge. The laser could hit wherever it was pointed. Without the special devil fruit ability to defend or dodge, it would be no different from shooting at a fixed target.
"Haha! Old man! I won't compete with you for things like this in the future. Just leave it to me to stretch your muscles!"
Vic is now using laser as his killing move. Some small pirates are not worth his effort. Besides, the old man is not young anymore. As he gets older, his physical strength and power will weaken over time!
Although the old man is a bit abnormal, he has some influence to some extent. Throwing shells with bare hands can be regarded as a way to exercise strength. Not to mention making the strength stronger, it is good enough to keep it going. Strength is like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will move backward. Vic doesn't want the old man to end up in disgrace in the future!
"Good boy! Are you saying that I'm old? Come on! Let's go to the island and fight again. If I don't beat you up and make you call me grandpa, you'll be unworthy of my iron fist."
Cap raised his fist and blew a breath of hot air in front of his mouth, as if he was ready to teach Vic a lesson at any time, but he was just pretending. Although he sometimes had a childish mentality, he knew that Vic was thinking about him.
Although Whitebeard is now recognized as the strongest man in the world, his old injuries have begun to cause trouble, and he often needs to be suppressed by various bottles of medicine. Time is unforgiving, and getting older means getting older. This is a reality that must be accepted!
However, he never succumbed to the inevitable experience of aging and physical decline, so he has been training his body and exercising his strength to keep his body in peak condition.
Throwing shells with bare hands is one of them. When he was young, he would engage in close combat in battles. Usually, he would eat and drink a lot, which was more enjoyable and in line with his wishes. His fighting power also increased rapidly.
But it’s different now. He usually needs to spend time to maintain his condition. The ceiling of the navy is not something that can be achieved by doing nothing. It still requires pay!
“Old man! We just came back from a fight, so let’s just forget it. I’m just afraid that my moves are too powerful and will directly wipe out all the pirates. That’s not the ultimate goal of our navy!
How can we publicize the strength of the navy without any survivors? How can we deter those who are eager to become pirates?
The pirates still have a chance to survive under the old man's bombardment. Not only will they see the strength of the navy, but they will also have a heavy shadow in their hearts, and they will also dissuade some people who want to go out to sea as pirates. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone."
Vic had just been beaten, and although he didn't roll his eyes or faint, he didn't want to be beaten again right away.
"That makes some sense, but I think there is something wrong with what you said. I just don't understand where the problem lies. Did you hear it?"
Garp stroked his beard and thought carefully about what Vic said. He felt that there were some problems, but he didn't know where the problems were. He focused more on the ultimate goal of the navy and didn't think about the first half.
Rebecca, Wendy and Fredek were also confused and naturally had no answer. Barnett knew what the problem was, but he kept it to himself and didn't say it out loud. He was afraid that Vic would get beaten again if he boasted in front of the old man.
"Old man! You think too much. I am doing this for the good of our navy. If there are fewer pirates, more ordinary people will be able to survive. This is the most important thing."
