The Place Where I Made My Name!
Disciple of the Sengoku?
Commanding warships independently, free to sail the seas?
Borsalino suddenly felt that Vidal's words contained a lot of information. First, a disciple of Sengoku?
I found it strange when I first heard in the dorm that Vidal was directly following the Sengoku Admiral.
Afterwards, I asked Lieutenant Vice Admiral Amyz, the commander of the G-2 Branch, and he said that this had never happened before.
After graduation, the trainees are assigned to one of the four branches in the first half of the Grand Line, while those with particularly poor performance are relegated to the Four Blues Branch.
Those who came after are not worth mentioning. The normal students in front, if they are promoted to the rank of colonel in their respective branches, may be assigned a warship.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, a Major at headquarters may have his own warships and subordinates, but there is no such thing as freedom to go to sea.
Basically, if you want to lead a warship out, it means you've received a mission from your superiors, such as patrolling, reconnaissance, pursuit, support, escort, etc.
However, some senior Colonels, if assigned to the Four Blues Branch as base commanders, have a much higher degree of freedom.
After all, he is a regional commander, and he can go wherever he wants in that area. However, if something goes wrong, he should give headquarters a reasonable explanation.
Therefore, Vidal's permission to freely sail to sea was quite special; it was a right usually reserved for Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral.
The most outrageous thing is, how can someone who has just graduated from school for less than half a year be in charge of a warship with 800 people? Even a year would be suspicious!
Borsalino wouldn't have been able to run away alone if he hadn't received a direct order from the Fleet Admiral Kong.
Not to mention warships, they don't exist. He's currently using Vice Admiral Amyz's warship for his own purposes.
The man with the flashing light glanced speechlessly at the unconscious Bondi Byrnndi World. He realized that the gap between them and Vidal seemed to have widened considerably.
It's not just about rank, status, and power, but also about the most important thing: strength.
He had been enjoying watching the show these past few days, and originally thought that after arriving, he would have to fight alongside Vidal against this so-called World Destroyer.
Who knew that Garp's single command would turn him into a mere spectator?
During this time, he also learned from Garp that Vidal's Haki had broken through to the level of Emission projection.
I heard Zephyr mention the Haki Emission a few times during the Special Training Camp, but at that time his foundation was too weak, and he was still working hard to practice the Six Powers and Haki.
The most basic aspect of Armament Haki is actually transforming one's aura and will into an invisible force that Coating around the skin to enhance attack power.
As for being able to touch the elementalized form itself, that goes without saying.
However, the Coating does not increase the body's defense. Only when the emitted domineering Haki is concentrated on the skin and Hardening, will it have the protective ability of armor.
Armament Haki's Hardening not only Hardening the skin and protects against physical attacks, but also counteracts the power of Devil Fruit abilities.
Note that it's about offsetting, not immunity. If your Haki isn't strong enough, it will still be overcome by the Devil Fruit's power. If your Haki reserves aren't high, offsetting too much will deplete them all.
Armament Haki doesn't counter Devil Fruit abilities; rather, it counters Devil Fruit.
The so-called Haki Emission is a higher level.
If the Coating only evaporates freely within about one centimeter of the skin.
Therefore, Emission can not only firmly control these Haki energies outside the body, preventing them from evaporating and dissipating in the air, thus avoiding unnecessary consumption.
Furthermore, it can make these controlled Armament Haki travel a greater distance from the body, such as forming a transparent and hard armor ten centimeters away from the skin.
Of course, you can release it to a greater distance and a larger area, but the energy consumption will naturally be greater.
But these are all just external manifestations; the Haki Emission is called the next level of Haki Hardening.
This is because when a person's Haki level breaks through to the Haki Emission, the quality of their Haki will be far higher than that of someone who has not broken through.
Vice Admiral Garp had mentioned this to Borsalino earlier on the warship.
Having already broken through to the level of Emission, Vidal can now easily break through his hardening technique even without using Emission Hardening; he can do so simply by Hardening.
Because Vidal's Armament Haki is harder and stronger!
Similarly, even without Emission his Haki, Garp could defeat many opponents of similar strength who could release Haki from a distance simply by relying on his Hardening fists.
Being at the same level does not necessarily mean having the same strength.
Furthermore, the Emission of Haki consumes a lot of energy, so even when fighting fiercely, martial arts masters like Garp and Zephyr Rear Admiral Haki Emission.
But not using it doesn't mean you can't.
Borsalino, however, didn't understand why Vice Admiral Garp said his Haki level was beyond Emission. What did that mean?
Why haven't I heard Professor Zephyr mention this before?
"Come on, help me up." At this moment, Vidal suddenly reached out and patted his stunned friend.
"Oh."
Borsalino reached out to help Vidal up, but the latter gripped his hand tightly, saying, "Let go."
"I won't let go!" Vidal stared intently at Borsalino, making the latter feel uneasy. What was going on?
"You"
Borsalino sensed something was wrong and was about to struggle free when he heard the former say, "Come on, shine a light and charge me up!"
"Ah?"
"What do you mean 'oh'? Can't you see I'm covered in injuries? How can I face my men looking like this when they arrive?"
Vidal urged without any politeness, "Hurry up, let me take a breath!"
Borsalino understood, and seeing Vidal's bruised and swollen face, he felt a little guilty.
Regardless, I did choose to stand by and watch when he was in danger. I ate a lot of his bananas, and the Green Beans also made his training a bit easier.
"Okay, then you can do it."
[Buzz--]
Suddenly, a golden light comparable to the sun burst forth from this dark and gloomy mountain range, Vidal, bathed in the light, had his skin radiating a hazy green glow.
"Oh~ that feels so good~"
He closed his eyes, enjoying the pleasure of energy flowing into his body, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, a warm feeling enveloping his body.
At the same time, his depleted physical strength, exhausted spirit, and all the wounds and bruises all over his body began to heal at a visible speed.
Five minutes later, apart from his shirt being gone, his pants having some holes and being covered in dust, he was otherwise unclothed.
His image, representing the highest level of attractiveness in the Marine Headquarters, has been restored to its original state.
"That's enough, let go!" Borsalino awkwardly withdrew his hand and moved a little further away from Vidal.
"Can't you just do everything you want?" Vidal complained.
The five-minute charge is mostly used to heal injuries and restore stamina, leaving less than one-seventh of the energy.
"It's almost dawn, you should ask the sun for it." Borsalino really disliked the feeling of something being pulled out of his body.
"And another thing, don't shake hands next time. I know you can absorb light from a distance." With that, he walked up to Bondi Byrnndi World and asked.
What are you going to do with this guy?
"What else can we do but throw them into Impel Down?"
Vidal walked to the edge of the mountain and glanced at the lights of the town in the distance. From here, he could see four warships moored in the harbor.
"By the way, I'll leave the escort of this guy to your G-2 Branch. I have other things to take care of."
"Go talk to Vice Admiral Amyz about this. My promise is useless." Borsalino curled his lip, looking like he didn't want the trouble.
"By the way, do you know what this island is called? It's the place where I defeated my first great pirate, so I'll remember the name as a memento."
Borsalino tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I think it's called Sleep Ancient Town. It's not famous on the Grand Line, just a small place."
"Is that so? But from today onwards, its name will be known throughout the entire sea!" Vidal didn't find the name strange at all; he simply looked proudly at the entire island and laughed heartily.
"This is where I made my name!"
I'm so grateful for the 100-coin reward from DianTongYa! Thank you!
