Grand Governor Gentleman's Ability!
Cooperation with the Fish-Man Race was destined to be a long and careful affair. Vidal understood the importance of not speaking too deeply with casual acquaintances, so he did not spend much time talking with King Neptune.
He simply asked for a letter written in the other party's own handwriting, gave them his personal Den Den Mushi number, and explained that they could contact him directly if they needed any help in the future.
He then returned directly to the deck of the warship and headed alone towards the Sabaody Archipelago above.
"I never expected that such a rare talent would appear in the navy," King Neptune exclaimed sincerely, watching the warship slowly rise to the surface.
What makes Vidal so rare is not only his friendly attitude towards the Fish-Man Race, but also Vidal various identities.
Once he has fully matured and gained control of the navy, his influence and assistance to Fish-Man Island will be unimaginable.
"What a fine disciple this Admiral of the Sengoku period has taken on!"
After sighing, the king of Fish-Man Island, full of anticipation, led the Right Minister and a group of the Neptune Army soldiers back to the Ryugu Palace, preparing to hold a lively banquet. Unfortunately, he was unable to invite Vidal.
On the other side, on the deck of a warship.
"You can come out now~"
Vidal waved to the empty space beside him, and soon, a doorway appeared in the air. The little manatee pushed open the Air Door and jumped out, squealing.
"I'm sorry, but we can't reveal your abilities yet. You'll have to keep to yourself like this for now," Vidal said apologetically as he picked up the other person.
When he came out this time, he deliberately made it appear as if he had left the baby manatee at the base, so he couldn't let it appear in front of others to avoid arousing suspicion from the Mary Geoise.
Imagine if the little manatee's Door-Door Fruit ability was exposed, and he didn't bring it with him when he went to the Holy Land, but then it reappeared beside him after he left the Holy Land. It would be hard not to suspect that he was doing something in secret.
However, according to the rules, he could not bring it into Mary Geoise, so he could only let it secretly follow him, in case they encountered any danger or desperate situation, they could escape through the parallel space of the Door-Door Fruit.
Wow! Wow wow!
The little manatee was highly intelligent and perceptive, understanding the helplessness and apology in Vidal's words. Therefore, it kindly shook its head and meowed, indicating that it had nothing to be aggrieved about.
"Alright, alright, let's go take another look at the Zangjing Master. I've gained a very interesting new ability this time!" Vidal exclaimed excitedly.
"Wow!"
Upon hearing this, the little manatee jumped down from his arms and used his Devil Fruit ability to open the Air Door again. However, this time it wasn't a typical sliding door, but a sliding door that moved horizontally to the left and right.
"Hey, Mr. Zangjing!"
As soon as Vidal entered, he saw the Zangjing in a tattered purple robe sitting expressionlessly on Trampoline Flower sofa, with a small tea table in front of him containing various fruits and wooden cups.
He could see the outside world from within this parallel space, so he wasn't particularly bored or lonely, and naturally he had already seen Vidal enter.
"You've come at the right time. Get me some water, toiletries, and clothes. Although I'm a prisoner, as a valuable prisoner, I should still have some basic dignity!"
"Ah, well, that's true. But I don't have any water or clothes right now, so let's wait until we get back to Sabaody." Vidal walked over gently and sat down on the Trampoline Flower sofa opposite the Zangjing, smiling.
His warship was just built by hand, so it didn't have any of these daily necessities. As for food and water, he could easily make fruit juice and alcohol himself, so there was no need to specially carry them up.
However, he also discovered the strangeness of his ability. He could make juice and alcohol, but he couldn't make the most ordinary fresh water. It was inexplicable!
"Hmph, then what are you doing here?" Zangjing asked with a disgruntled purse.
"Oh, nothing, just came to see you, um, just to take a look." As he spoke, Vidal stared at the other person and activated his Observation Haki, a pale green light flashing in his dark eyes.
Sure enough, a miraculous phenomenon occurred: all the scenes that had happened before the Zangjing appeared in my mind.
In these replays, he saw the breathtaking full view of the Flying Pirates.
It was less a ship and more an island with a lush green surface, a grand palace, and a golden lion hanging in front, floating menacingly hundreds of meters above the sea, surrounded by dozens of pirate warships of various kinds flying the same flag.
Such a powerful scene gave Vidal a fairly direct impression of this, the World's Strongest since the Rocks Pirates disbanded.
On the vast ocean today, Shiki the Golden Lion may not be the strongest person, but his pirate ship and his flying fleet are definitely the strongest pirate force!
The Whitebeard Pirates were not yet fully formed at this time, Big Mom's Totto Land had just been established, and the Roger Pirates were taking an elite route.
No matter how elite they were, they still found themselves in a desperate situation that nearly led to their annihilation during the Battle of Ait Volt many years later.
Next, he saw Shiki himself, the "Golden Lion," and also the group of hundreds of cadres in the hall, any one of whom could be picked out and had a bounty of tens of millions.
At the same time, he saw a black-haired man with an ancient style, dressed in a blue robe, whose gentle and refined demeanor was completely out of place with his pirate identity.
The man had long, straight, black hair that he casually let drape over his shoulders and cling to his waist. Beside him was a long black bow on a shelf. He was writing something on a piece of white paper in front of him with an ink-stained brush, occasionally frowning in thought as he wrote.
The Grand Governor of the Flying Pirates, the world's number one sniper, the 'Void Archer' Gentleman!
Vidal recognized the other party's identity at a glance; the strange black arrows that appeared at G-3 Fortress were clearly the work of this person.
He quickly learned about the opponent's Devil Fruit ability through these replays.
The Devil Fruit User the Paramecia Clear-Clear Fruit possesses the basic ability to make an object pass through for a period of time through touch, and can cancel this effect at any time. However, once canceled, the object cannot be made to pass through again unless it is touched again.
The priority of this penetrating effect depends on the development level of the Devil Fruit ability. If one's own level is higher than the opponent's Devil Fruit ability or Armament Haki, then one can penetrate the opponent's ability effects and Haki defenses.
Just like those black arrows that could freely pass through the slow purple light of the Zangjing and even through Sakazuki's Great Eruption, they were only stopped when they encountered the Wood Cage bars Armament Haki Hardening.
Therefore, if the Slow-Slow Fruit ability of the Zangjing is stronger, the black arrows will still be slowed down even if they are penetrating. Similarly, if the target's Armament Haki or Observation Haki is strong enough, they can easily defend against or dodge these black arrows.
So it's a Devil Fruit ability that poses an immense threat and is lethal to those weaker than oneself, but is helpless against those stronger than oneself, even if they are only slightly stronger.
As for the Awakening ability, it did not appear in the short year of the replay of the Zangjing, so Vidal is not sure what kind of ability it is for the time being, but such things are not hard to guess.
"Armament Haki has reached the initial stage of Emission projection, just like mine; Observation Haki with an extremely wide range; the Awakening power of the Through-Through Fruit; and astonishing archery skills."
Vidal stared at the 'Gentleman' in the replay, lost in thought, thinking to himself, "That Through-Through Fruit ability is quite good; I wonder if there's any chance of capturing him."
"But can my Observation Haki only see the past year, or can it actually be improved?"
