Chapter 426 Vic's Analysis
Barrett did not counterattack immediately, but first straightened the earmuffs that were kicked off before slowly walking back. For a speed-type opponent like Vic, jumping over and shooting directly would not have much effect, and might even be countered. Vic is not a supernova player who would not be able to react even if someone jumped over from a distance.
"You are an enemy worthy of serious treatment! I just don't know how long you can last!"
Barrett stood opposite Vic, stretched his hands to his chest and broke his fingers together, making crisp crackling sounds, then he shook his head slightly to both sides, also making crackling sounds.
“Then I overestimated you. After hearing a lot of rumors about you, I thought you had no rivals now, so you wanted to turn the sea upside down?
I didn't expect that you are similar to me, a latecomer. What are you so crazy about? You don't even spare civilians? Did they offend you? Or do you think the weak don't deserve to survive?
If Roger had the same idea at that time, you probably wouldn't be alive today. Even if your combat power surpasses Roger's in the future, your realm of thought will never be as good as Roger's!"
Vic replied bluntly that he didn't need Barrett's approval now, he just needed his own approval. After all, his biggest opponent was himself. As a traverser, he had practiced hard for so many years, wasn't it just to face everyone equally and go anywhere freely? Now he had achieved half of it.
Vic didn't think that Barrett hadn't made any progress over the years. Of course he had made progress, but it was unreasonable that he could tie with Rayleigh back then.
This sentence was said by Buggy in Operation Zealot. When Barrett was still on Roger's ship, Buggy was just a child. Could he have the foresight to tell whether the fight between the two was a draw? How much strength did the two use in the fight?
If Oda really wanted to show how powerful Barrett was when he was young, it would be more convincing if he said this through Fujitora or Garp, but it is a bit intriguing to say this through Buggy.
Another interesting thing is Barrett's Conqueror's Haki. You have to know that it was two years ago when Shanks boarded Whitebeard's ship. At that time, Shanks' Conqueror's Haki was enough to crack the side of the ship.
When Barrett's domineering color is released, it can only hit everyone like drizzle. This is exactly where Oda indirectly shows that Barrett is not as good as the Four Emperors, at least in terms of domineering color.
Looking at Barrett's performance in Operation Zeal, he seems to be stronger than the Four Emperors, but is that really the case? I think any of the Four Emperors can achieve this result.
Moreover, it is very difficult for people who are knocked down by the Four Emperors to stand up again. Not everyone can do a sit-up. The worst generation is described as lawless, not a synonym for powerful.
Judging from Barrett's performance, he doesn't know how to use dominance. He never used it until he was defeated by Luffy, which shows that he really can't do it.
Then can Rayleigh do it? Rayleigh is Roger's vice-captain, and the two have always been adventuring together. It is impossible that Roger can do it and Rayleigh can't. Rayleigh is not someone who can't use the Conqueror's Haki.
So when Barrett was fighting with Rayleigh, Rayleigh definitely did not use his full strength, at least he did not use the domineering method to fight him. Maybe he felt that Barrett was not the same kind of person as them, and he had not even taught him the domineering method.
If Lei had used Haki to fight him a few times, Barrett should have learned it long ago with his talent. So in the years since he left Roger's Pirates, Barrett's main training directions have been Haki, fruit abilities, and physical fitness. As for Haki, it is very difficult to improve through practice. Barrett's strong Armament Haki is the result of his practice.
"This world is a place where the strong are respected. The World Government is the most powerful in this world, so they can rule the world, make rules, and enjoy the most resources. So of course, being strong means everything.
Isn't it because you enjoy these resources that you are so powerful? Now you are talking to me about the realm of thought? Where were you when I was betrayed by the whole country?
Where were you when I was wandering on the sea? Now that I have disrupted the balance of the sea, you have come to find me?
For those of you who control the sea, I should just find a place to die in obscurity, right? Is the realm of thought useful to me?"
Barrett was not angry at Vic's words. His experience was somewhat complicated. He had lived in a country of infinite war since he was a child and was betrayed by the entire country before he reached adulthood. His values were very different from those who grew up in a peaceful environment. Of course, the things he did could not be judged by common sense. He was even more different from people like Vic who had accepted more advanced ideas. Therefore, the two of them were in a state where neither could convince the other!
After listening to Barrett's words, Vic knew that his argument was not making sense. There is a saying that goes, 'Don't advise others to be good unless you have experienced their suffering.' Vic didn't want to say anything more.
Just because you have experienced suffering, you want to impose suffering on others? The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon? What is the difference between this and those who commit violence? If everyone thinks this way, the world will never be peaceful!
Both of them sneered and disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared, they collided with each other again. Vic's heavy punch was blocked by Barrett's arm, and Barrett's other hand hit Vic's head almost at the same time.
He kicked away a fist that was much bigger than Vic's head, and followed with his other foot, ready to poke Barrett's throat.
Barrett didn't dodge. He lowered his head and hit Vic's toes with his forehead. After several unsuccessful attempts, Vic used the reaction force to do a backflip and retreat a distance.
But Barrett was not ready to let Vic go. When Vic did a backflip, he had already jumped into the air and came above Vic for a face-to-face encounter with him.
Barrett grinned at Vic and threw his huge fist down. If Vic was hit by this punch, he would be buried directly in the ground, and then countless punches would follow.
But Vic was no pushover. He just tapped his toes a few times and rushed out. The advanced moon step was very useful in the air.
Barrett's punch hit the ground directly, creating a big hole. Earth, rocks, smoke and dust splashed and submerged Barrett's figure.
Vic then fell back to the ground, grabbed a few stones that were flying towards him, instantly covered them with domineering aura, and threw them into the smoke.
When Vic's domineering flying stone flew to the edge of the smoke, it was swept away by a big hand that stretched out from the smoke. Following it was Barrett's huge figure, who appeared in front of Vic in an instant and smashed his fist on his head. Vic crossed his hands to block it above his head.
