Chapter 545 Arrangement
Vic woke up three hours later. After he sat up, his mind was still a little dazed, but it was the pain from the wounds on his body that brought him back to full consciousness.
Looking down at the multiple wounds on his body, Vic couldn't help but smile bitterly. The user of the Thunder Fruit was actually struck by lightning. He was probably the first one in history. However, he still stood up and walked back to the lightning-free area and sat cross-legged. He needed to recover from his injuries first before doing anything else.
Although there were many wounds and the skin was torn, it was nothing in the eyes of Vic, the top doctor. It was much easier to treat than cancer, bacterial or viral infections.
However, Vic discovered that the flesh and blood where the wounds appeared on his body had partially necrotized. This was a manifestation of lightning destroying life. The damage caused by lightning was not very visible externally. One could only see some charred body parts and curled hair.
But what really threatens life is its ability to destroy vitality, which can directly kill the cells of an organism. If the cell death reaches a certain ratio, or if a large number of cells in major organs die, these can be fatal.
Vic used his ability to accelerate the division of cells at the wound, allowing new cells to replace the necrotic cells. The wounds on his body quickly scabbed over and fell off along with the necrotic flesh and blood.
The new skin is no different from the previous one except that it is whiter. This is Vic's ability. Not even a scar will be left.
After all his wounds were healed, he used Life Restoration to restore his hair and body shape to their original appearance. Apart from some torn clothes on his body, there was no sign of any injuries.
"Is this island's strangeness really formed naturally? Otherwise, why would there be this kind of black lightning that can hurt me? Does this black lightning have the attribute of armed color?"
Vic muttered to himself as he looked at the dense black lightning. These lightnings came out from the cracks in the ground. With Vic's armament strength, he couldn't withstand even one blow.
His desire to continue exploring also calmed down. No matter what was strange about this island, he decided to put it behind him and make good use of the time to improve himself. As long as he became stronger and more domineering, he would be able to continue exploring. Thunder God Island would not be able to escape here.
"I don't know how many layers of lightning there are here. If my Thunder Fruit can be developed to the point where a single strike can reach the power of this black lightning, then this ability can be considered fully developed. I wonder if I can simulate so many types of lightning here. If I can, then this island will be the benchmark for my future development of abilities!"
Vic took out food from the dimensional space to replenish the energy consumed in treating his injuries, but his mind was still busy. What he saw and heard on Thunder God Island made him see a direction for developing the power of the Thunder Fruit.
When he had sparred with the old man before, the power of pure lightning could not break the defense. It was obvious that his original lightning defense power against domineering was not enough.
It's not that Armament Haki can make you immune to all fruit abilities. It still depends on who is stronger. There are many examples of people using Armament Haki to defend themselves but still being killed by the ability.
The most typical example is that Law used his ability to chop down Vergo, whose body was covered in armament color. So nothing is absolute, and domineering cannot always be above everything!
After eating, Vic replenished a lot of energy. He did not challenge the black minefield again, but returned to the red minefield to practice. However, he did not persist for too long and returned to the mine-free area to restore his dominance.
This time, Vic did not rely on eating to speed up the recovery of his domineering aura. He wanted to save the food to support his body's consumption so that he could practice here for a longer time. In this mine-free area, the recovery speed of his domineering aura was already very fast.
Half a month later, Vic left Thundergod Island. He could clearly feel that his domineering aura had increased a little bit, and he was so addicted to this feeling.
But he couldn't just focus on becoming stronger. Although he hadn't finished eating the food, he still left resolutely. He took out Rebecca's life paper, and Vic turned into lightning and disappeared into the clouds in the sky.
Vic soon returned to Punk Hazard. It was no different from when he left. After Vic came back, he went to find Vegapunk first, but Vegapunk was too busy to pay attention to him.
Vic estimated that the gravity bracelet had not been developed yet. He knew that this could not be rushed. It was easier said than done. Moreover, Vegapunk had other research projects and it was impossible for it to serve Vic alone.
Afterwards, he went to the training ground arranged for Rebecca and the others. Barnett and the others were also there, either practicing alone or sparring with each other. This was their daily routine.
Punk Hazard was the most idle when there was no foreign invasion. Vic did not tell them directly that he would take them to practice, but instead asked people to prepare a large amount of food first. He would not stay for just half a month.
The next day, Vic and Rebecca set off in a small boat filled with perishable food.
The boat did not sail in the sea. Rebecca directly used the ability of the Float-Float Fruit to make the boat fly in the air. The direction was based on the permanent pointer made by Vic on Thunder God Island. This place will definitely be visited frequently in the future, so it is necessary to make a permanent pointer.
"Vic! Where are you going to take me with all this food? You didn't tell me when I asked you before. Why are you being so secretive?"
Rebecca asked Vic beside her with anticipation. She thought Vic called her out to spend some time alone together, and he even prepared so much food. They were going to be alone together for a long time. When did Vic's stupid head finally come to his senses? Rebecca was very happy.
"Didn't I go out and explore the Thunder God Island before? I think it is related to the ability of my Thunder Fruit, and it turned out that the lightning on that island has a special effect.
Practicing on that island can accelerate the growth of Armament Haki. I don't know if it is only useful for me, a user of the Thunder Fruit, or for everyone. This time I brought you here to verify it.
If it is useful to everyone, I will bring Barnett here to practice again after the food is consumed. You all need to improve your strength. I have a feeling that there will be a big battle waiting for us in the near future!"
Vic didn't know what Rebecca was thinking, he just expressed his purpose in a different way.
If Rebecca and the others could become stronger in such a muddled way, then Vic would naturally not reveal the real reason. If possible, Vic would of course choose to keep it to himself. The lightning on Thunder Island is a good excuse.
"Oh!"
