Chapter 428: Armed Colors Revealed
At the edge of the field where Vic and Barrett were fighting, Garp, Rebecca Gion and the others were eating barbecue around a fire, and they were eating while grilling.
The meat came from innocent animals killed in the aftermath of the fight between the two men. There was nothing they could do about it. Vic and Barrett had been fighting with their bare hands for two days and two nights, and they had been watching from the side for two days and two nights.
There was nothing they could say about the two perverts who refused to eat and kept fighting so fiercely, but they were still mortals and had to eat. Now they could only eat while watching, although there was a lot of smoke and dust and it was a bit unhygienic, but that was the condition and they could only make do with it.
"Vic! I didn't expect that with your bean sprout-like body, you could actually last so long! There aren't many people who can fight me for so long! Now I'm going to be serious!"
Compared to Barrett, Vic's figure is indeed like a bean sprout, but from the perspective of normal people in this world, Vic has a normal and perfect height and body shape, well-proportioned and slender, and even when he takes off his clothes, he still has angular tendon meat.
Barrett hadn't used Armament Haki to fight for such a long time. He really wanted to wear Vic down because of his ordinary physique. However, he didn't expect that Vic's ordinary body was full of energy, and he didn't show any sign of weakness after fighting for so long. After fighting for two days, Barrett finally realized it, and now he is no longer prepared to fight with bare hands.
"You can't imagine how long I can last. Even if you can't, I can still hold on for ten days or half a month. You won't understand this state!"
Vic's life regeneration has been fully developed. The excess energy his body normally absorbs is stored in the cells in his body. So Vic eats a lot when he can eat, and he won't gain weight no matter how much he eats. This is an ability that many women envy!
Vic rarely encounters such a long battle that is still undecided. The last time was with Mantis. However, with the case of Akainu and Aokiji fighting for ten days and ten nights, Vic naturally has to be prepared. Therefore, he has always been storing energy in case of emergency, and he used it again this time.
Barrett didn't talk nonsense with Vic. He was just speaking from his heart. After listening to Vic's words, he just showed his two rows of white teeth and gave Vic a grim smile. He was going to get serious now.
It was Barrett who made the first move. Whenever Barrett made a move, the soil and rocks under his feet would inevitably be damaged. He adopted a head-on fighting style in pursuit of speed and power.
Barrett stepped forward and came to Vic in the blink of an eye. His white gloves turned black in an instant, and his fist wrapped in armed color domineering smashed towards Vic's head, still going straight ahead.
Vic was just about to use the Armament Haki to cover his entire body to block the domineering punch, but before he could mobilize the Armament Haki to cover his entire body, he felt hit by a punch. His body flew out involuntarily and smashed into a distant mound like a cannonball.
"The release of Armament Haki? I thought you were going to compete with me in Haki consumption again, but it seems you are not going to do that. Are you afraid that Haki will also be a draw, so you want to save it for the coordination fruit ability?"
Vic pushed away the dirt and rocks pressing on his body and stood up. With the attack distance just now, Vic was able to cover his entire body with domineering aura before Barrett's fist landed.
However, Barrett did not choose to use his fists. Instead, he showed his domineering power and caught Vic off guard. When Vic walked back, he had turned into a black man, and his armament color had covered him.
"Is it such a waste of Haki? It actually covers the whole body!"
Barrett said in surprise when he saw Vic covering his entire body with domineering aura. It was indeed as Barrett said, a truly strong person would only use armament color when necessary.
Whether it is attacking or defending, whether it is to save domineering or to control domineering more easily, it is one of the reasons why they can fight for a long time.
Anyone who is skilled in using domineering aura to cover the whole body can do this, but there are only a few people who can really do this in the original work, and they are all defeated.
For example, Vergo who was cut by Law, Pica who was cut by Zoro, and the one who shook the dice under the Golden Emperor, their bodies were covered with domineering aura and looked very oppressive, but these people have not practiced to the fullest. Vergo's armament color is not as strong as Law's ability, and the domineering of the other two cannot compare to Zoro.
“It’s just a drizzle!”
Vic said nonchalantly that just because others were covered in domineering aura and couldn't beat him didn't mean he couldn't beat them either. No matter what you do, it all depends on your hard power.
A strong man like Garp can earn the title of Iron Fist just by using his fists. There are so many people who fight with their fists, why is he the only one with Iron Fist? It must be because of his hard power!
As long as Vic's domineering aura covers his entire body and he remains invincible, he will still be able to get a related title in the future. Moreover, Vic feels that the person who really wastes domineering aura should be Barrett. Using the power of the fruit to become such a huge giant and still using domineering aura to cover his body will quickly consume the armament color and weaken the defensive power of domineering aura. It is not a wise choice.
After the two finished talking, they started fighting again. Barrett used the armament color domineering to fight crazily, which made Vic's slightly superior speed useless. It was useless even if you were fast, because Barrett could release his domineering from a distance, which could not only counterattack you, but also break your speed. Then he would stick to you and fight you in close combat, but it was just a fight using domineering.
Vic can also release Armament Haki, but he's not that proficient at it yet. This requires releasing the Armament Haki outside the body and condensing it into power before it can be used as a means of defense or offense. It's useless if it is released in a scattered manner.
This is different from wrapping domineering aura around arrows for long-range attacks. The arrows become the carriers of domineering aura. With the carrier, the domineering aura can be easily condensed into a more powerful means. Anyone who has just started using domineering aura can do it.
However, the release and flow of Armament Haki are used at the same level. Ryuzakura only flows in and out of the object that the Haki or the Haki touches. Of course, Ryuzakura can also be used through the air, but that requires it to touch the object when the Haki flows. This distance is generally very short and can be completely ignored.
However, the release of armed color is another way of using it. The domineering aura is directly released outside the body and condensed without any carrier. It can be used not only for attack, but also for defense.
In the original work, there are very few characters who have used the armament color release. Only Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Sentaomaru and Rayleigh can be seen. Of course, there are definitely more than these few people who can use it.
The former three admirals used the release of armament Haki to stop a tsunami launched by Whitebeard. Zhan Taomaru just knocked away King Luffy who didn't know Haki, and Rayleigh just made a slight move and knocked away an elephant that wanted to sneak attack him.
