Chapter 505: Assisting in Training
Vic's words made Cobra and Ikalem feel relieved. The two had been king and subject for many years. Ikalem naturally knew what Cobra meant. Now that he heard that he was not here to take advantage of him, he naturally felt relieved.
But after hearing that there was a pirate hidden in his own country and that a lieutenant general of the headquarters was about to be dispatched, he became worried again!
Although they governed the country very well, they were not very good when faced with external forces. Although the country had many soldiers, their reconnaissance capabilities were really poor, and they did not receive any news about pirates.
"Convenient! Of course it's convenient! You can live anywhere you want until we catch the pirates. We, the royal family, will take care of your food, clothing, shelter and transportation. This is our humble contribution!"
Cobra came to his senses and immediately said that the food, drink, and toilet expenses of the navy when they were on missions outside were all paid by the government, so there was no need to lie to take advantage of him.
Now he really believed the rumors from the outside world. When Cobra heard Ikalem say that the navy’s new vice admiral Xuanlong was a navy man who cared about civilians and was dedicated to his duties, he was still a little skeptical!
Now he believed it. People's eyes cannot lie. He did not see a trace of greed in Vic's eyes. Moreover, Vic had sent people to look for pirates before they even arrived at the palace. He was indeed a good and responsible navy!
"Thank you very much. I will have to trouble King Cobra and Captain Ikalem for the rest of the time!"
After Vic thanked him, Cobra asked about the pirates, but Vic did not tell him the details.
There are still some uncertainties on Lao Sha's side, and it is not convenient to tell him about the Seven Warlords of the Sea now. After not much chatting, Cobra asked Ikarem to take Vic and the others to a place to rest and live.
Not long after Vic and the others left, Bell flew back. After meeting with Cobra, he reported that Rebecca, the flying man, was looking for pirates, and also told them that Vic and the others had come to Alabasta.
Cobra already knew what happened next, so he told Bell what had just happened. Bell then left and went excitedly to find Ikalem and Vic.
Bell searched for a long time but couldn't find Ikalem and Vic and his group. Finally, he saw a man beating another man in a large open space behind the palace.
There were many people standing by, including old people, children, men and women. One person was beating another person hard, but the other person didn't move or fight back. This made Bell very confused, and he hurried forward to stop it.
But after Bell approached, he had no intention of intervening. The person beating people was from the navy, and he looked familiar. The person being beaten was also from the navy, and it was Lieutenant General Xuanlong whom he wanted to meet.
There were also familiar figures watching the fun, including Captain Ikalem, Gaka and the little princess Weiwei, while the others were all wearing navy uniforms.
Now he understood that this was not a fight, but a training session between the navy. He and Gaka would also spar when they had time, but they would not just stand there and get beaten.
Vic was not simply being beaten. The skin under his clothes had already been covered with armament color. Although he could have covered his clothes, head and face with armament color as well, Vic did not do so.
He had already obtained the title of Xuanlong, so there was no need to do that. He hid all of his armament color under his clothes, and Barnett, who was hitting Vic, did not simply swing his fists. He covered his armament color on his fists, punched left and right, and hit Vic's chest one by one, making a sound like hammering iron.
Ever since Vic was squeezed by the invisible force of the man in black robe last time, he has been thinking about ways to increase his domineering aura faster. Until there is a better way, this method of being beaten by the armed color is still effective.
When a fist covered with Armament Haki hits the body, it is like a hammer hitting iron, and it can have the effect of tempering the Armament Haki.
Although Barnett's Armament Haki is not strong enough, it is much better than bare hands. Rebecca's Armament Haki is stronger and the effect of beating is also better, but now she has gone to find Lao Sha, so she can only use Barnett first.
Moreover, this kind of training is two-way. Vic's armament color is stronger, and Barnett gets more training. Long-term use is also a way to quickly improve domineering. Vic can be said to be helping Barnett practice imperceptibly.
Barnett's current dominance is not long-lasting, and he cannot help Vic practice for long. Bell saw that he was unable to bear it after a while.
However, Vic still has substitutes. Although Wendy and Fredek have not awakened the Armament Haki yet, they still know how to awaken Iron Block. Without the coverage of Armament Haki, they can use Iron Block's boxing instead of forging. Although the effect is much worse, it is better than nothing.
It can also allow the two of them to feel more domineering particles, and perhaps shorten the time it takes to awaken the armament color.
The effect of Vic's increasing his Armament Haki through natural consumption is no longer as good as before, because his own Armament Haki reserves are already quite high and cannot be consumed in a short time, so the efficiency is not as high as before.
Relatively speaking, his improvement also requires more time, which means that it becomes more difficult to improve as time goes by. Only Vic has physical talent and no bottleneck in the reserves of armed color, so he can continue to improve over time. For others, it becomes even more difficult to improve in the later stages, and they must have special circumstances!
Because the trip took too long, Ikalem left halfway through. As the chief steward, he had a lot of things to do.
Gaka, Bell and Weiwei did not leave. With Vic and the others in the palace, their safety was not a problem and they could watch with peace of mind. However, Weiwei and Ain felt that it was boring to keep forging iron, so they played other things on the side, but they did not go too far away.
"Lieutenant General Xuanlong! Can we give it a try? We have some strength too, and should be able to help you with your training!"
Gaka and Bell, who didn't know much about Haki and Rokushiki, saw that no matter how the three of them fought, Vic didn't retreat a single step, so they thought that the strength of Barnett and his three companions might not be good enough. They had the illusion that they could do it too.
Isn't it just beating up a person who can't move? All you need is your hands, so when all three of them were exhausted, they told Vic they wanted to give it a try.
Vic naturally fulfilled their wishes. Although the two of them expressed it in a rather tactful way, he could see that these two guardian gods were somewhat narrow-minded and might have looked down on Barnett and the others.
How could this be possible? They didn't know how long they would be staying in the palace, so it was important to show their strength and not let others look down on them.
So Gaga was the first to go on the court. He was the user of the jackal form of the Animal-type Dog-Dog Fruit. He was definitely stronger than Bell in all aspects on land. Gaga built up his strength for a long time before punching Vic in the chest. Vic remained motionless and his expression did not change at all.
