Chapter 443 This world is not simple
"Hey, hey, hey! I just wanted to ask you where you've been since you left Roger's Pirates. Did you get the time wrong and talk about something earlier?"
Barrett was interrupted by Wick before he could finish his words. Wick just wanted to know why Barrett went dormant after leaving Roger's pirate group. What happened or what caused the plot to change? What he said before was still in line with the development of the plot, that is, something went wrong later.
"Don't interrupt me. I'm already talking now. Next time, don't interrupt when others are talking!"
Barrett glanced at Vic and said calmly. He was still a little unhappy about Vic's interruption. He was immersed in his past memories and was suddenly brought back to reality.
Vic was so angry that he really didn't know how to refute. He touched his nose to hide his embarrassment and waited for Barrett to continue without saying anything.
"After leaving Roger's pirate group, I was alone on the sea again, like a rootless apple.
Maybe it was fate, I met the mysterious strong man again, he was very disappointed with me eating the devil fruit,
He told me that Haki is the key to reaching the top, and helped me analyze the correct use of the Fusion Fruit.
But at that time, my Haki was not enough to support the full development of the fruit ability, so he asked me to go to an island full of powerful beasts to practice, and let me fight only with Haki.
I have been training there for the past few years. After defeating the strongest beast on the island, I trained there for another two and a half years before leaving the sea.
I thought I was very strong now, and was about to find some strong people to see the results of my practice. I didn't expect that I couldn't beat a teenage boy like you. What a failure! I shouldn't have gone out to sea so early. I can still continue to get stronger!"
Barrett did not choose to keep silent just because Vic interrupted him. Anyway, he was now in a cage and there was nothing he could not say. It was just a pity that he came out too early and his magical powers were not yet fully developed. If his armament color was stronger, he would probably be able to block Vic's knife.
Vic now finally knows where the variable lies, it is the guidance of the mysterious master. The second meeting between the two was the beginning of the variable.
Judging from that person's knowledge, he should be a strong man, at least he is clear about cultivation. But I don't know why this person's trajectory changed. Vic couldn't figure it out for a while. He could only say that this world is much deeper than what he saw in his previous life, and there are still many strong people who have not shown up.
"Do you know the name of that master you mentioned? Is he a pirate? Do you know where he lives?"
Vic continued to ask, wanting to see if he had heard of this mysterious master in his past or present life.
"I don't know who he is. He's wearing a black robe with a hood so I can't see his face. I can't sense his observation Haki, so I can't get close to him. He never introduced himself. He comes and goes without a trace. Who knows where he lives? You can only meet a master like this if you're destined to do so!"
Barrett had only met him twice, and hadn't even seen his face, but he kept saying that he was a master. It was obvious that the mysterious man was indeed extraordinary. He could even conquer someone as rebellious as Barrett.
Even though the clues were cut off at this point, the variable was still the same variable, mysterious and powerful. Victor didn't want to know anything else. He just mentioned the time to release the domineering color and left, then went to the kitchen to explain the issue of delivering the meal.
So every day that followed, there would be two strong eruptions of the Domineering Color of Intimidation on this warship, causing not only many people on the warship to faint, but also many fish in the sea below the warship to faint.
This resulted in many big fish following the warships to take advantage, and then the big fish ate the small fish. The fish following behind also became bigger and bigger. There were even a few sea kings following the warships, occasionally exposing part of their bodies to the surface of the sea, making the marines on the warships nervous, fearing that the sea kings would come and attack the warships.
However, the people on the warship are becoming more and more resistant to the Domineering Haki, which is the effect that Vic wants to see.
Even when the warship encountered a pirate ship, Barrett just released his domineering color, and only a few pirates were still standing on the ship. He wiped out the whole group of pirates without any effort. The warship sailed towards the Red Earth Continent in such an atmosphere, stopping and starting.
Half a month later, the warship passed by an island. If the warship did not need supplies, it would usually skip the island directly. However, there were many pirate prisoners on the warship, and they would never seek trouble if they could avoid it. After all, they had an escort mission.
But the food warehouse on the warship was only so big, and each supply could only last about a week. This time it was time for supplies, so when he saw this island, Kake decided to dock and resupply.
There are special people responsible for matters like supply. No warship has ever been personally staffed by the supreme commander. Moreover, with Barrett, a powerful threat, around, Vic and Kake dare not leave the warship easily. Who knows if Barrett will cause trouble after they leave.
Although seastone can make people with special abilities powerless, through training and adaptation, seastone can only restrain people from using their abilities.
But if this ability user is also a domineering magician, then it will be difficult to restrict him with seastone. What's more, Barrett is not an ordinary person. There are perverts who practice with seastone in Impel Down. Half a month has passed. Who knows if he has adapted to the seastone.
And there's his Domineering Haki. Who knows if he had used it to its full potential before? If he had held back, how much manpower and remaining resistance would the people left on the warship have after being affected by the Domineering Haki?
So Kake arranged for the logistics personnel to go to the island to purchase supplies. Rebecca and Wendy also took Ian to the island to experience the local customs and culture. The only people left on the deck were Kake who was drinking tea, Vic who was practicing and drinking tea, and Gion whose eyes were full of Vic.
"Vic! Are you okay? There's no war going on right now, so you don't need to use the armament color hardening on your whole body, right? It looks scary in broad daylight. Even if you want to prove your black code, you don't need to do this. Mr. Garp said he would help you, so he won't break his promise!"
Kaji looked at Vic across the small table and said something speechless, because Vic liked to show himself like this during this period. In his mind, Vic was just doing superficial work for the title.
"You just met Vic and don't know him yet. He is not just doing superficial work. Vic likes to fight like this after he awakened his Armament Haki.
I often do this in my free time. Many people in the headquarters know this. I heard Zefa-sensei mention it. He said that Wick is following the example of his predecessors to explore other ways to use Armament Haki. If Wick really finds it, then Wick will be remembered in history. How can you understand that realm?"
Seeing that Kake said that Vic was pretending, Gion naturally had to refute. Gion, who had just been looking at Vic with a gentle face, immediately turned around and said to Kake with dissatisfaction, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so naturally whatever Vic does is right."
Although Vic's realm is not as high as Gion said, he is not pretending as Kake said. In the past, he practiced Armament Haki at night, and few people knew about it because of the cover of darkness.
But because Gion had been pestering Vic for this and that every night during this period, Vic moved his practice of Observation Haki to night time, so that he could prevent Gion's little movements from being seen by others in advance.
