Chapter 491 Shanks Ahead
Vic came back, and Rebecca and the others naturally asked him how things were going. Vic gave a brief account and also concealed some things.
They were relieved to hear that the branch vice admiral was fine. They were also sad to hear that several marines had died, but these were unavoidable in the navy, and a few strong people could not change the situation. Later, when they heard that Mora was dead, they exclaimed that she had died a good death, completely unaware of Vic's true thoughts.
When they heard that Katakuri and the others had run away, they felt sorry for it. However, they were also happy to see that Vic had become so strong. At least the mountain on Wendy's head would be easier to remove!
The Big Mom Pirates intercepted a naval warship, Vice Admiral Xuanlong of the Navy Headquarters fought one against three and severely injured Katakuri, a mysterious man in black robe intervened, and this series of events in which he teased Xuanlong like a child was not spread on the sea.
There was no corresponding report in the newspapers. Except for the death of Mora, it was as if the incident had never happened.
This is a conflict between the navy and Big Mom that they deliberately downplayed. There are no major casualties on both sides. If they can avoid a fallout, they will certainly not force a fallout. The navy's current high-end capabilities are still a bit awkward.
……
Vic's side has resumed normal navigation, and Rebecca and the others are also practicing strictly according to the practice schedule set by Vic.
Using domineering power to fight has made them clearly feel the growth of their domineering power. Since it is effective, they will naturally practice it more actively.
But Barnett's situation is a bit miserable. He is beaten black and blue by Rebecca every day. Fortunately, the tonic fruit helps him stay strong every day and maintain his handsome appearance.
"Vic! That wild island ahead is where the red-haired guy stayed before. But seven or eight days have passed, and I wonder if they are still there!"
Barnett came to Vic and looked at the small black dot at the end of his sight and said that after several confirmations after obtaining Shanks' information last time, and again after handing over to Mora, Red-haired Shanks has been staying on this island in sight.
The warship sailed on the sea for another seven or eight days before arriving here. Barnett was no longer sure whether Shanks was still there. After all, pirates would not stay on an island for too long, unless the recording pointer needed a long time to store magnetism, and he did not have the ability to obtain a recording pointer with stored magnetism. Obviously Shanks was not among them.
"Whether they are here or not, we will stop here. If they are not here, we will go to the island to resupply.
Even if Red Hair left the island, it shouldn't have been long. The speed of the warship is faster than the pirate ship. It will take a few more days to catch up. Besides, they are on the island!"
Vic had just woken up from his practice. The shock he had received from the black-robed man before was too great. He thought that he would be able to reach the peak of his strength after just one or two floors, but he didn't expect that there were still so many steps behind.
He suddenly felt that his previous practice was not that hard. He thought that his improvement after knowing the essence of domineering power was very fast and had surpassed countless people. He was quite complacent about himself!
He could surpass strong men one by one in a shorter time, but the man in black robe slapped him in the face, letting him know that under stronger pressure, the domineering aura would be consumed faster and increased faster, and the increase would be much greater than the normal free consumption!
During that one hour when he was squeezed by a powerful invisible force, he improved more than he would have gotten in a week of regular practice. This effect of practice was incredible!
His normal cultivation speed is already much faster than other people. What does it mean if he can improve it by more than ten or twenty times?
His domineering practice was really like riding a rocket, but it was impossible for the man in black robe to stay by his side to help him practice, and it was also difficult to find a similar environment to practice. Vic spent a lot of time these days thinking about how to solve this problem. If there really was such a place, his domineering practice would really improve by leaps and bounds!
By the same token, since Armament Haki has such a performance, Observation Haki Haki, which can be improved by using it more, will definitely have a similar effect, but the form of expression is different.
Armament Haki is a kind of power that can be materialized, so it also needs to rely on materialized power to beat. Although the invisible power of the black-robed man is invisible, it has quality. Some weapons, fruit abilities, and armament Haki attacks have these effects. The specific effect depends on the strength of the user.
As a kind of power at the level of consciousness, Observation Haki is invisible and intangible. Naturally, it is impossible to enhance it by relying on tangible force. If you want to enhance it, you must have a similar power. As long as Vic finds this kind of power, he can quickly enhance his Observation Haki and even learn to foresee the future!
It’s just that Vic has too little experience in this world and doesn’t know much about it. Now he can’t find the power that can quickly increase his dominance.
However, Vic believes that there must be a place where such power exists, but this world is too big and full of strange things, so it will be difficult to find it in a short time!
But after thinking all this through, Vic couldn't wait to complete the task at hand and then travel around this magical world!
......
The range of Vic's Observation Haki is already quite large. After all, he awakened a few years earlier than his Armament Haki. He has already sensed the human presence on the shore of the island.
Since it is a wilderness island, there are no human inhabitants on the island. Perhaps there were humans living there before, but they were eliminated in the long-term competition with nature. Wilderness is synonymous with no people!
Since there are people here now, it is most likely Shanks and his gang. It is unlikely that another group of people would come right after Shanks left. It is not such a coincidence. This island is not on the magnetic route.
"You've been sitting cross-legged since you came back this time. Are you feeling the pressure? Is it from the Big Mom Pirates, or those alternate Shichibukai?"
Barnett continued to ask. Vic had never practiced motionlessly for several days in a row before. This was a bit abnormal. The other big hearts didn't react, but Barnett was more careful and still noticed something. But how could he understand the level of the man in black robe now!
"There is indeed pressure, but it doesn't come from them. Forget it, let's not talk about this. When you reach my current strength, I will tell you in detail!"
Vic was surprised that Barnett had noticed his slight change, but he still didn't want to tell him about the man in black. Telling him now would probably make him despair about his future self!
