Chapter 425 All-out war
Although Vic's response was a little hasty, he was not hurt and kept his arms crossed after flying away.
It wasn't that he couldn't block this move, but he didn't find the right point of force in such a hurry. Without a place to unload the force, he would inevitably fly out. If it were someone else, his arm would probably be broken, and then several ribs would be broken.
Vic flew out for several hundred meters, then stomped on the air a few times to remove the remaining force, then turned into lightning and disappeared from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already close to Barrett.
He continued to rush forward without slowing down and also threw a punch at Barrett. Vic's speed of turning into lightning was also astonishingly fast, which Barrett had not expected. He was hit in the chest by Vic's punch and was blown back dozens of meters. Finally, he stopped by supporting himself on the ground with his feet.
But before Barrett could stand up straight, Vic kicked him in the chest. The kick was like a drill, and even the air produced spiral ripples.
This kick sent Barrett flying hundreds of meters toward the center of the island. The two men were separated from the team behind them and their own battlefield became their own.
This was also what Vic did deliberately. Barrett's combat power was far beyond Rebecca and the others, and his speed was not slow either. If he suddenly attacked them, Rebecca and the others would not be able to stop him at all!
He can only use his speed to rescue when he is at a distance. The sudden burst of speed of these strong men at close range is no slower than Vic's.
Of course, this is in the case of an outbreak. Although the speed is fast at this time, it cannot last long and puts a heavy burden on the body. It cannot be used frequently. This is what Vic is guarding against.
After Vic and Barrett got away from the crowd, Zhiyuan, Rebecca and the others also fought with the pirates who had not fainted.
At this time, both sides didn't know each other very well, and they would fight whoever they liked. However, after their strengths were tested, they would change opponents, after all, it was soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals.
If the difference in strength is too big, either the battle will be resolved quickly or the opponent will be changed. Those who can still stand now will not be weak. After a few moves, we will know the rough outline. Those who cannot win will naturally seek help from stronger people to achieve a balance in a short period of time. Only Karp has not made a move yet. He is equivalent to a trump card and will only make a move at the most critical moment.
Gion and Rebecca are both swordsmen, so the opponents they choose are naturally strong swordsmen. Although Rebecca is younger than Gion now, she also has the strength of a lieutenant general. With the blessing of the Float-Float Fruit, she is already on par with Gion.
Kake chose a pure physical skills expert who had no fruit ability. There are also devil fruit ability users among pirates, and Barnett chose a user with this ability as his opponent.
Wendy is neither a swordsman nor a special ability user now. As a sniper, she has not yet awakened the Armament Haki. Using firearms is not very effective at this time, so she uses the Supreme Great Sword given to her by Vic to fight.
The same goes for Fredek. He also has a knife given by Vic. With his Observation Haki that can foresee the future and the few Six Styles he just learned, he also has strong combat power. His opponents will definitely have a headache.
Bogart is also a swordsman, and now he has the rank of brigadier general. He is also a potential stock and will become Garp's adjutant in the future. There are no mediocre adjutants among Garp!
"Hahaha! The person who can kill the golden lion is indeed extraordinary. You have successfully aroused my interest. Come again!"
After enduring Vic's punches and kicks, Barrett did not get angry, but instead became interested.
"Really? Should I feel honored?"
Vic said sarcastically that Barrett had never taken him seriously since they met and his attention had always been on Cap, which naturally made Vic a little unhappy.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Barrett can knock out a supernova with one punch in Operation Frenzy and seems invincible. Vic can do the same and even do it better. It's all about speed and strength, and these two are Vic's strengths.
It’s just that Vic’s body shape is not as oppressive as Barrett’s. Vic has a normal, well-proportioned body shape. He has everything, but nothing stands out.
Barrett's upper body, including his arms, are abnormally prominent, while his lower limbs are much inferior. It looks very oppressive, but in fact, they are somewhat deformed. His upper body provides strength and his lower body provides speed, but looking at his disproportionate body, you can tell that one of them will definitely not last long.
Barrett didn't say anything else. Instead, he curled his lips into an arrogant smile and rushed towards Vic with his feet.
Vic had no intention of taking out a knife to deal with Barrett, who was unarmed. He just ran forward and responded with his fists.
The two men's fists collided directly, and a huge sonic boom spread out in all directions. A huge force overflowed, and a big pit instantly appeared on the ground beneath their feet. Smoke and dust mixed with water mist were blown all around, and the surrounding trees were swaying back and forth by the strong wind.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the two men's fists were still pressed together without giving in. Compared with Barrett's huge fist, Vic's fist was only as wide as one of Barrett's fingers, and it was hitting Barrett's middle finger.
Barrett's arms and hands are really abnormal. In Operation Frenzy, he only used two fingers to grab Usopp's head, just like holding a soybean. Usopp was no different from a long worm in his palm. His arms were probably trained to the limit.
Barrett was not calm at this time. The two men had a huge difference in size, but the opponent's strength was not weaker than his at all. In this collision, he did not gain any advantage.
He originally thought that his talent was already top-notch in this ocean. He was able to tie with the Pirate King's right-hand man, Rayleigh, when he was just a teenager. Now, after practicing hard for so many years, he was tied in strength with a newcomer who was less than 20 years old. This made him feel somewhat frustrated.
How could he know that Vic was a man with a cheat. As long as he trained his strength, it would continue to grow without limit. Moreover, once he had that power, it would not fade away due to long-term non-training, as if it had a save file.
Vic doesn't care what you are thinking. His goal this time is to defeat Barrett. Vic pushed off the ground with his feet and flew into the air. After retracting his fist, he kicked Barrett's head sideways.
Vic's kick was so fast and his body was so flexible that Barrett had no time to react and was kicked directly by Vic. Although it was a close-range attack, Barrett was still kicked more than ten meters away and knocked down several large trees.
Barrett did not fall to the ground because of Vic's kick. After smashing a big tree, he flipped over in the air and stood up. After landing, he left two trenches more than one meter long on the ground and then stopped.
