Chapter 571: Ain's Changes
The reason why Vic fell into a coma later was that the original body's obsession disappeared and his soul was about to dissipate, but the original body chose to use his own soul as nutrients to nourish Vic's soul. This is why he was in a coma for so long!
This is also the reason why he can perfectly control the Conqueror's Haki as soon as he wakes up. His soul and mental strength are extremely strong, and then he can master the Conqueror's Haki entanglement!
Vic was a little surprised to see the soul of his original body, but he felt relieved when he thought that his own soul could travel to this world.
The concept of soul has always existed in this world. Brook can even leave his body, and Big Mom can extract souls for her own use.
However, after experiencing this incident, Victor became confused and frightened. That is, the theory that having two souls can eat two devil fruits is wrong!
After his original soul was shattered, he didn't die from eating two devil fruits and exploding. Is the rumor wrong? Or is his first devil fruit too special?
The rumors must be true, otherwise why didn't anyone else follow Blackbeard's lead after he acquired two abilities? Or did anyone who tried to imitate him explode and die? So there was no second person with the dual fruit ability?
In addition, the CP9 he killed a year ago told him the legend of the devil fruit, and he was examined by Dr. Yuejian on Drum Island and no bloodline factors exclusive to people with special abilities were found in him, so he made up his mind to go to Sky Island to find the Thunder Fruit.
So after sorting out all of them, Vic was more convinced that the Speed-Speed Fruit was too special. As for why it was so special, he was still not sure.
Maybe, as CP9 said, the devil fruits have regressed to their ancestors and have the characteristics that were not mutually exclusive in ancient times.
Of course, there may be other reasons, which may only be known when Vic becomes stronger. Vic couldn't help but be glad that he was cautious and did not blindly look for the Thunder Fruit.
"Vic! You've been in a coma for two months. I was so worried about you. Woohoo!"
Before Rebecca could say anything, a girl with long ocean-blue hair threw herself into Vic's arms and started crying.
Vic subconsciously put his hand on the girl's shoulder, and stroked her long sea-blue hair with his other hand, as if it was a habitual action.
It's just that he didn't know this girl, he just felt somewhat familiar with her. Vic looked up at Rebecca and the others with some confusion, wanting them to give him an explanation.
"Vic! This is Ian! Don't you recognize her? This is Ian who used her power to grow up. Didn't you say last time that she was a child and wanted her to get off the boat to avoid disaster?
Maybe it stimulated her. During this period, she has been madly developing her fruit ability. Now she can not only make people smaller, but also make people older. So you have no reason to let Ein get off the boat now!"
Rebecca wiped her tears and smiled at Vic, saying that Vic had been unconscious during this time, and everyone else had been practicing very hard. Iin was also working hard to develop his fruit ability and did not want to hold everyone back.
Seeing that even a child was working so hard, Olivia found Rebecca and wanted her to teach her how to become stronger. She had been on the run before and had no time or conditions, but now she had a ready-made instructor.
They were the best people in the navy, with complete training programs and practice methods. She didn't want to be at the mercy of others without any ability to fight back like before.
Of course Rebecca was not stingy and taught her the training methods she learned from the Navy and Vic. She also lent her the gravity bracelet on Vic's wrist. However, Olivia would definitely not be able to use the gravity bracelet at the beginning of training.
But two months later, her spirit and energy have been completely different. In the past two months, they have basically eaten the meat of the Caspian Sea King in the Calm Belt, which is definitely a great tonic for Olivia who is in training.
"Vic! You don't recognize me, woooo!"
Ian raised his tearful face and looked at Vic, then buried his head in Vic's arms and cried even harder.
This time, Vic took a few careful looks at the face. It gradually overlapped with the crying Ein who was blocked outside the battlefield by Aokiji's ice wall in the movie Strongest Enemy Z. Although there is some difference between the anime and the real people nowadays, the expression and three-dimensional face are almost the same and can still be recognized.
Vic couldn't help but sigh, obsession really makes people stronger! However, he didn't know what Vegapunk said to the Straw Hat Pirates more than a decade later. Devil Fruits are the materialization of desires, so desires can naturally help develop the abilities of Devil Fruits.
Ian thought that Vic didn't want her to stay on the ship just because she was a child. In addition, Vic had told her before that her fruit ability could not only return objects and creatures to their past state, but also go to the future!
Regardless of whether this devil fruit has such ability, Ain believed it, so she really developed it!
"Ain! Don't cry. I just woke up and my mind is still not clear. Plus, you suddenly grew up and became so beautiful. I really couldn't react. Okay, Ain! Don't cry. I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
Whoever makes the crying should comfort her. Vic could only help Ian up and let her sit on the edge of the bed while explaining and apologizing. Ian was no longer a child now. She had a curvy body and a pretty face. Vic was not used to just lying in his arms and holding him.
It's okay to hug a child like this, but you have to avoid it when he grows up. Although Ain is an adult physically, she is still a child mentally. She needs more experiences to mature mentally.
Vic consoled and promised Ain for a long time before he finally calmed him down. He also gave out a gravity bracelet. When Olivia saw it, she immediately returned the gravity bracelet on her hand to Vic. Then Vic took out another gravity bracelet and gave it to Olivia.
His gravity bracelet is specially made and cannot be used casually by ordinary people like Olivia. Fortunately, Olivia is not yet at the stage where she needs weight training, otherwise if she makes a mistake in operation, she may be crushed into a pool of meat by Vic's gravity bracelet.
Afterwards, Rebecca told Vic what happened after he fell into a coma. In the past two months, time had moved forward another year. The newspaper and the bounty were shown to Vic, but Vic was now extremely calm!
All the Celestial Dragons have been killed, so what is there to be unacceptable? Now we have to replan our future path. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to repel the first wave of pursuit by the Navy and the World Government.
As long as those pursuing them can't do anything to them, the World Government and the Navy will have to turn a blind eye to him like Whitebeard and Big Mom did, and they will not easily conflict with him without absolute certainty.
