Chapter 492 The situation is tense
"This... How is this possible! I probably won't be able to reach your current strength in my lifetime. I'll be satisfied if I can be half as strong as you!"
In Barnett's heart, the current Vic is already an existence that he can hardly reach. He doesn't dare to hope that he can be so powerful. He knows what his talent is.
"Don't underestimate yourself! You are a person of talent that comes from accumulation of experience. You didn't start training and strengthening your body since you were a child, so it's natural that you started a little slowly. But is it really slow?
You can look at the people of our generation. Many of them are children of the navy. They have been trained and strengthened by their fathers since they were young. But how many of them have the strength you have now?
There are a lot of people who haven't learned all six styles. You think you are average and have no talent. You are just comparing me with Rebecca.
Just like the ring finger next to the middle finger on your palm, and they can only be toes, they are in different places, and the feelings are naturally different. In my heart, you can definitely reach my current height. Just like the future I talked to you about before, now you just need to persevere and leave everything to time!"
What Vic said was sincere. His current ability can only be described as okay, but he looks more outstanding just because of his young age.
Both of them know the Six Styles of the Navy. There is a difference in their use, but they can become proficient over time. In terms of armament color, Wick only has Ryuo and Exo, and Wick believes that Barnett can learn it with some guidance.
His range of Observation Haki is larger, and it can be compensated through time training. In terms of fruit ability, the Bu-Bu Fruit is not bad. When developed to the awakened state, it can completely reverse a certain amount of time. It is a very perverted fruit ability, no worse than Vic's ability.
The difference between the two is probably kendo. Kendo is not a necessity to become a navy admiral, so after accumulating time, Barnett will be able to reach Vic's current combat power.
"Really? Can I become so powerful?"
Barnett's eyes lit up, and he stared at Vic in disbelief and asked. After Vic's analysis, he found that his comparison targets had always been the people around him, and his former classmates were selectively forgotten by him!
Now he realized that his talent was not bad, but his brilliance was overshadowed by being next to Vic. With his current strength, he is more than qualified to be a lieutenant general in the branch. Moreover, he is still very young and has plenty of time to become stronger.
"Of course it's true! You have to believe in yourself. I will explore the way for you in front. Once the way is clear, I will lead you along. This way, your journey ahead will be easier!"
Vic had found a shortcut and was walking on it, followed by Rebecca and Barnett, but now he saw an even faster route next to it!
The road is there, but he doesn't know how to cross it now. Once he finds a way, he will definitely take a few people with him. Even if they have poor talents, they will stride forward on this road and become stronger and stronger.
Barnett didn't say anything else, but he was extremely excited, as if he had seen the day when he would become as strong as a navy admiral. He didn't notice Rebecca and Wendy behind him at all. There was also a gleam in their eyes. They were really lucky to have such a leader!
As the warship approached, the pirates on guard on the island had already discovered Vic and his crew, and someone had already gone to the center of the island to tip them off.
However, Vic did not come with malicious intent, so he did not teleport directly to the island to kill those who reported the news. Although he and Shanks had been friends for a long time, they had only met once, and the two sides were still in hostile camps, so it was better for them to have normal contact.
"The warship should stay here. No need to get any closer. We are not here to fight. You all should stay on the warship and we will go up."
When the warship was still a safe distance away from the island, Vic ordered it to stop. He only planned to take Rebecca and the others to the island.
After saying that, Vic picked up Ian and flew towards the island using Moon Steps. Rebecca and the others followed behind him, also using Moon Steps.
Everyone else on the warship was envious, as they had never had the opportunity to learn the Six Styles at the Navy Headquarters. On the warship, Barnett and his friends would occasionally give them some pointers.
The fact that they failed to go to the headquarters is very telling. Until now, there has not been a marine who has mastered any of the six styles. The time is still too short, and there is still a huge gap for them given their talent.
After Vic flew to the shore, he did not land, but flew directly over the island. He used his observation Haki to scan the situation on the island.
Vic discovered that this place was indeed worthy of being called a wild island. There were indeed many ferocious beasts on it, and their auras were all quite strong.
Vic guessed that Shanks stayed here for so long just to let these ferocious beasts train his subordinates and give them a final boost in strength before entering the New World. Just like Rayleigh trained Luffy, Shanks also inherited this training method.
Wick couldn't help but sigh. Only people like Shanks, who had been in the Grand Line since childhood, knew exactly what kind of islands there were. Wick now needed these experiences to help him find the place to quickly improve his domineering power. However, other people's experiences were theirs, and the most he could do was ask later.
The pirates on guard on the shore knew that the navy they encountered this time was not simple when they saw five people flying overhead. However, the strength of those who could stand guard here was not very strong. They couldn't even aim at people. Vic and his men were very fast, so they could only watch the navy fly towards the island.
"Boss! There are warships on the sea. Judging from the direction they are sailing, they are heading towards us. They are probably on the island now!"
After the messenger ran to the cadres' camp, he was already out of breath. He was so tired that he fell to his knees and spoke out the navy's intelligence with difficulty.
At this moment, a cup full of wine was handed to the panting minion. The minion didn't even look at who gave it to him. After running such a long way, he was naturally tired and thirsty. He held the cup in both hands and started drinking it.
"Yeah! I saw it when I got to the island!"
Shanks' tone was calm and low. He was holding a wine glass in his left hand, and his right hand was on the hilt of the Griffin knife at his waist. The straw hat on his head blocked the light, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but his eyes under the brim of the hat were exceptionally sharp and bright.
The messenger was halfway through drinking when he felt something was wrong. The cadres in front of him were all looking at him, no! They were looking at the back of him.
The minion slowly turned around and saw several figures wearing navy justice cloaks. Because of the backlight, he couldn't see their faces clearly.
