Chapter 707 Challenge the Four Emperors
Eating a devil fruit and gaining the power of law is equivalent to understanding the law on a small branch, and being able to use the power of this part of the law.
The awakening of the fruit's ability is equivalent to comprehending and understanding the main trunk of the Tree of Law and all the side branches and small twigs on the trunk. The power of the law that can be driven will be even stronger!
However, if one wants to become the God of Laws, one must comprehend and understand every trunk of the entire tree of laws, every branch on every trunk, and every twig on every branch. Only then can one finally transform into a God and use all the power of this law to mobilize the power of heaven and earth!
There are nodes from one trunk of the Tree of Laws to another, from one branch to another, and from one twig to another.
These key nodes all require a flash of inspiration to break through into another branch. One rule covers a very wide range, and breaking through a node is sometimes like changing a rule.
Take Vic's Thunder Fruit as an example. Lightning can be pure lightning, lightning can be converted into magnetism, lightning can also generate heat, temperature, light, etc. These different directions represent different branches.
When gaining insights from one branch to another, there is a span of fields in between. People with high comprehension can quickly step into another branch to continue gaining insights, while people with low comprehension can only get stuck on the original branch.
Some people just can't think flexibly and can't even think of the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Such people are more suitable for some simple animal-related abilities.
Animal-related abilities do not require the comprehension of overly complex tree-like rules, but they also place severe challenges on the user. Each animal has one or several outstanding abilities.
Some are for defense, some are for strength, some are for speed, some are for recovery, some can control the wind, some can breathe fire, and so on. The laws carried by such animal-based abilities are relatively simple, just like those trees that grow straight up without side branches. They only need to fully comprehend the laws on the main trunk, and then withstand the test and not become a jailer beast.
There are also some animals that have two or three abilities, such as outstanding strength and defense, outstanding defense and recovery, outstanding speed and recovery, etc. These are considered multi-trunk trees, but there are no other side branches on the main trunk, so it is relatively simple to comprehend.
Of course, this is for ordinary animals. There are also some fantasy beasts. They carry more types and more complex laws that need to be comprehended. Of course, the fantasy beast abilities also have stronger power, but they are also more difficult to awaken.
Because these abilities also require the understanding of more laws, it means that if you gain something, you will lose something. This is why it is so difficult to awaken the mythical beasts in the original work. Only Luffy's Nika Fruit is truly awakened, and it is a temporary change of name and type.
For example, Kaido, Yamato, Marco, Sengoku, and Orochi did not show their awakening status. Kaido did not awaken even when he was defeated by Nika, Yamato did not awaken even when he was defeated by Kaido, Marco did not awaken even when his father was killed, and Orochi did not awaken even when he was killed. They did not awaken even at this critical moment? Then treat it as not awakened.
So when one is awakened while comprehending the laws, the impact can be big or small, depending on the person. For Vic, it didn't have much of an impact.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Yamato with a bruised face and nose. Because of his swollen face, Yamato's voice sounded different. Vic didn't recognize it at first, and only saw Yamato's miserable condition after he opened his eyes.
This was the first time he saw Yamato injured so badly after he brought him out from Onigashima in Wano Country. Vic was very curious about who the person Yamato was talking about was. Moreover, even Rebecca and Kuina were beaten. What happened to them during this voyage? What strong man did they encounter?
Many of Yamato's habits have been corrected by Vic. For example, he no longer regards himself as a man, and he also understands the sense of shame of girls and no longer regards himself as Kozuki Oden.
In the past, I just thought that Kozuki Oden was a very manly man, and I admired such people a little. Wano Country was a closed country. After Kozuki Oden's death, there were only a bunch of villain pirates left in Wano Country, a group of softies under the rule of the Beasts Pirates and Kurozumi Orochi. There was no tough guy like Kozuki Oden anymore.
But things were different after leaving Wano Country. She saw more people, met more powerful people, and had some small lessons taught by Wick. Now that the frog in the well had seen the real world, how could she still think that the world was only the size of the well?
All that remains in Yamato is the determination to return to Wano Country and drive Kaido away after becoming stronger, as well as his heartless and innocent heart, the warlike genes brought about by his natural strength, and his yearning for the world and adventure.
These things left behind are considered some good qualities for the current world, so Vic did not interfere too much. He thought it was pretty good anyway!
Vic didn't say anything. He stood up from the pure gold cushion, walked to Yamato, stretched out a hand to cover her milky white snow-white skin, and then released bioelectricity from his palm into Yamato's body to investigate.
After checking inside and out, Vic found that Yamato's body was mostly covered with external injuries, but there were also some internal injuries. He immediately used his ability to heal Yamato.
Yamato originally thought that Vic was going to go outside with her, but she didn't expect Vic to do this suddenly, and she was stunned for a moment.
But soon she remembered what Sister Via told her, that girls' bodies should not be easily touched by men, especially some sensitive parts. Although she remembered it, she did not have a deep understanding of it.
At this moment, when Vic put his palm on the snow-capped mountain, she finally felt a strange feeling. Warmth and numbness intertwined in that sensitive area. This strange feeling that she had never felt before made a straight woman like Yamato blush.
Just as she was about to scold Vic, she felt her whole body warming up, and then the pain in the injured parts of her body eased, and the bruises and swelling in some places disappeared visibly. Yamato then realized that Vic was not flirting with her as Sister Via said, but was trying to heal her wounds.
She swallowed the scolding that was about to come to her throat, looked at Vic's hand, then looked at Vic's face. Yamato's face turned redder. She didn't know if it was because of the increased body temperature, or if this straight woman really felt shy.
Vic's grab was actually a subconscious action, mainly because Yamato's snow mountain was too prominent. I don't know what he ate to develop so well!
Vic just wanted to move the shortest distance to achieve the purpose of close inspection and treatment. This is the idea used in the battle. So which part of Yamato's body is closest to Vic? Of course, the top of the Great Snow Mountain, so the Great Snow Mountain became Vic's first choice!
Of course, another reason is the influence that Vic had when he watched anime in his previous life. When he first saw the part of the snow-capped mountain exposed when Yamato tore off his sleeves, he swallowed his saliva. That picture has always been remembered in his mind, and then today he was suddenly awakened from his practice, and he did this subconsciously!
It was indeed round, big, straight, full and elastic. She was indeed gifted. Even Vic, who could use his thunderous ability to suppress the secretion of hormones in his body, was frightened and almost lost his mind.
Fortunately, those hormones and enzymes that stimulated the body's impulses were suppressed by Vic's ability, which allowed Vic to quickly return to normal and focus his attention on Yamato's internal and external injuries.
"Let's go! Go outside and check on their injuries. We'll tell you what happened later."
Yamato had many external injuries, but few internal injuries, and not many necrotic cells in the body, so Vic quickly healed all the internal and external injuries of Yamato's body without consuming much energy in Yamato's body, and her Great Snow Mountain did not shrink.
After greeting Yamato, Vic opened the door and walked out. Then he saw several people who stayed on Titan Island to practice. They were surrounding Rebecca and Kuina, caring about them and scolding others. Vic guessed that it must be the strong man who hurt Rebecca and the others.
Although Rebecca and Kuina were surrounded by several people, Vic could still see some situations through the gaps between them. Similar to Yamato, Rebecca and Kuina also had a lot of wounds on their bodies, and their clothes were torn.
The Yamato behind Vic was the same, like a beggar, but their faces were not as bruised and swollen as Yamato's just now, and they were almost unrecognizable. Anyway, they looked very embarrassed, and it felt like they had escaped back!
The combined fighting power of the three women is very strong, which is incomparable to the deputy emperor. Any one of them can compete with the deputy emperor. I just don't know whether the three women can fight one on one or three on one.
Vic guessed it was the latter. He even suspected that the three women had become a little inflated recently and went outside to provoke one of the Four Emperors, and then were severely beaten up. Except for Shanks, the other three were possible, because there was no sign of fighting with the swordsman on their bodies.
