Chapter 816 Price
Yamato awakened the Conqueror's Haki on Onigashima when she was a child. As the daughter of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, she is absolutely talented, needless to say.
Kuina's talent in kendo is higher than Zoro's. Not to mention that she is older than Zoro and has practiced swordplay longer than Zoro, Koshiro's words have been very straightforward. Before Zoro came, Kuina rarely practiced swordplay, but even so, no one in the gym can be her opponent.
Only when Zoro was a little threatening did Kuina start to practice swordsmanship. Kuina is like Frieza in Dragon Ball, and Zoro is like Son Goku. Isn't Kuina worthy of awakening the Conqueror's Haki? Even without the Soul Fruit, she will definitely be able to awaken on her own!
Is Tiger, who climbed the Red Earth Continent to Mary Geoise with bare hands and set fire to free the slaves, an ordinary person? There are many people who are stronger than Tiger, but how many of them would go to the lair of the Celestial Dragons regardless of life and death to realize what they want?
This ability of empathy is something that few people can match. His heart is extremely strong. Is he not qualified to awaken the Conqueror's Haki? In the entire fish-man tribe, he is also a leader. If only one person can awaken the Conqueror's Haki in the fish-man tribe, that person will be him, Fisher Tiger!
Fredek awakened his Observation Haki since he was a child, and he could even foresee the future before he even reached adulthood. This is enough to show that his mental power is very strong. Without strong mental power to support him, his achievements in Observation Haki would not be great.
From the moment he met Vic, Fredek's fate was changed. All he needed next was an opportunity to awaken his Conqueror's Haki. However, with the Fruit of the Soul, his journey would only be more leisurely.
Olivia looks like the oldest and most ordinary person in the Thunder God Pirates, but everyone knows her profession, historian! Or archaeologist.
She may not be very good in martial arts, but her knowledge and education are definitely the best (except for the pervert Vic). Olivia, at such a young age, has become the leader of this group. This could not have been done without strong knowledge and personal charm!
In other words, Olivia's brain is very useful. As we all know, whether the brain is useful or not is closely related to mental strength. In other words, Olivia is born with strong mental strength, but the direction of her efforts is not towards force and strength. Doesn't such an Olivia have the opportunity to awaken the Conqueror's Haki? She just lacks a direction and some pressure!
Vic's companions are not ordinary people, so there is no need to list them one by one. They include Uta, the king of songs, Olga who has lived for hundreds of years, Combo who is extremely talented, Mantis who is a close friend of Whitebeard, and Rebecca, Wendy, Barnett and Ian who followed Vic at first.
Can't these people awaken their Conqueror's Haki with an unlimited supply of Soul Fruit? So Vic's words were not bluffing. Barrett was still useful to him, and he couldn't lose face too much, otherwise he would be completely offended. In the end, he could only get rid of this hidden danger, and he was also afraid of scaring Barrett!
"No...don't try! Tell them to stop!"
Barrett has already knelt on one knee. If another person comes, he will really have to kneel on both knees. Will he still have the dignity to be a strong man?
When he was in Roger's pirate group, he even refused to obey Roger at first, but was finally defeated by Roger. However, his rebellious character never changed, and it was more difficult for him to kneel down than to surrender.
Moreover, Vic, the person involved, has not yet released his Domineering Haki. Even if the other person really does not have his Domineering Haki, Vic can make him kneel on his knees and never be able to raise his head again!
Barrett doesn't think much of surrendering to a strong person. He once surrendered to Roger, so when facing the powerful Thor Pirates, there is nothing he can't surrender to.
After Barrett let go, Vic nodded slightly to Rebecca and the others, and Rebecca and the others took back their domineering colors. Barrett was no longer under pressure, he let out a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up.
He couldn't control Vic, and Vic's partners didn't look easy to deal with either. Barrett couldn't help but feel like retreating. There were many strong men on the sea, so there was no need to keep an eye on Vic, right?
"Barrett! If you really want to challenge me, you can! I'll give you a chance, but..."
"But what?"
Seeing that Barrett was about to retreat, Vic immediately spoke up and gave him another hope. Since he was here, he naturally couldn't let him leave easily, as Vic's goal had not yet been achieved.
Barrett, who had been thinking of retreating, felt hopeful after hearing Vic's words. If there was one person he wanted to fight the most, it would be Vic, who had defeated him and imprisoned him in Impel Down. So when he saw that things had taken a turn for the better, he hurriedly asked for the next step.
"We can fight this battle, but if you lose, you have to do something for me. If I lose, I will also do something for you. You can even kill me if you want!
If I lose the challenge without paying any price, where will my face be? If Titan Island is not trampled to pieces in the future, won't I be busy to death? So I can't start this, what do you think? "
"Okay! What do you want me to do?"
You can challenge, but if you lose you must leave something behind, which means Barrett is useful to Vic now. Otherwise, considering that he almost beat Gion to death, he must be kept this time to be used as fertilizer.
The same goes for other challengers. If they commit crimes, they can forget about going back. Otherwise, wouldn't he, a strong man who defeated the Four Emperors Big Mom, have no dignity at all? If any random person wants to challenge him? Wouldn't he be annoyed to death?
Therefore, necessary tough measures must be taken. Even if it is someone as easy to talk to as Red Hair, he will not let go easily if he challenges him. Kidd losing an arm is a light punishment, and not taking his life is already a mercy of Shanks. What about the other Four Emperors? Either they accept them as dogs or kill them directly. Vic will not set a precedent and become a good man.
Barrett hesitated for a long time before agreeing to Vic's conditions. He was alone, so it was very convenient for him to do things. He could fight or move freely. He was not afraid of making enemies with any force. Only others were afraid of him.
Only a pirate group like Victor, which has no power or territory but is strong enough, is not afraid of him. He also wants to see what a strong man like Victor wants him to do.
"Well then, let's go to the deeper part of the island and finish the job sooner and do the work sooner."
Vic said calmly, and then headed towards the center of Titan Island. If it was a battle of equal strength, he would not choose Titan Island. Even though Titan Island was extremely solid, it still could not withstand a battle between strong men of this level.
But Vic didn't take Barrett seriously. It didn't matter if he lost a little strength in his own territory. He would end the battle quickly!
Vic brought Barrett, followed by others, and stood in a forest where the gravity was a hundred times higher. This was the temporary battlefield chosen by Vic.
Rebecca and her friends usually wear gravity bracelets when they are outside, and when they return to Titan Island, they often challenge the gravity deep in the island, so they don't react much to the gravity of the forest here.
But Barrett, Pizarro and Ace couldn't bear it. It's not that they couldn't bear it, but it was difficult to adapt for a while, and it also had a great impact on their strength.
Pizarro is considered good. In his Qilin form, he has the ability to control the earth, is more or less aware of gravity, and can walk, sit, and lie down like a normal person.
But Barrett couldn't do it. Although his body was extremely strong, the gravity here was 100 times that of the others. Even Barrett was struggling to hold on. He could even hear the creaking sound of his bones rubbing against each other when he walked.
What was even worse was Ace. His physique was not as strong as Barrett's, and his strength was also a little weaker. At the moment, he couldn't even straighten his back, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that he couldn't even speak.
If it weren't for Ace's condition, Vic would have gone deeper and forced Barrett to surrender directly, thus defeating the enemy without fighting!
"Do we have to choose this place? This seems a little unfair to me!"
Seeing that the others were unaware, Barrett was complaining in his heart. Are they really that powerful? But he still felt that this was not a suitable battlefield. No, he felt that this was not a battlefield suitable for him. Those few people could probably fight here for three days and three nights.
"You are bearing it, but am I not bearing it too? If you have to choose the venue when fighting, then what kind of strong man are you? If you can't even adapt to the venue, you will be killed by someone sooner or later. What do you think?"
"What you said is true, but I have never experienced such a special island, and you have lived here for more than ten years. How can it be the same?"
Barrett agreed with Vic's ideas, but he was not satisfied with such differential treatment. He was not a fool and he knew the existence of adaptability. He had trained his body through adaptability before. As long as he was given time, he could quickly adapt to the gravity here. But he didn't want to go straight to the intensity and fight a strong man like Vic as soon as he arrived here.
"You're right, Rebecca! Get a small island and we'll find a place to fight."
Vic thought about it and felt that what Barrett said was right. He was not convinced verbally, and he was even more dissatisfied in his heart. Even if he defeated him, he probably would not accept it. He didn't want to waste time and walk away. It was really unnecessary to use one move. However, if he wanted Barrett to do things for him, he had to defeat him. So Vic finally decided to find a fair venue.
