Advanced Observation Haki

Unlike the subjugation of Jonathan.

Although Jonathan was strong, he was nowhere near the same level as Count Red!

In the past, if the Navy encountered Count Red, they basically didn't leave anyone alive.

Count Red was brutal!

Therefore, the Navy was very wary of Count Red!

"Are you afraid?"

Just then, Victor's voice rang out from behind Eric, Kennard, and the others.

"Captain Victor."

"Senior Victor."

When Eric and the others saw Victor, their uneasy hearts suddenly calmed down.

Victor looked at Eric and the others and said calmly, "It's just one Count Red, I'll deal with him."

"Captain Victor, the enemy is Count Red..."

Eric wanted to remind Victor.

Although Eric knew Victor was very strong, Count Red was a great pirate and had been famous for many years!

Victor ignored him and stepped forward with his right foot.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Victor strode through the air, running towards the direction of the forest.

On the outskirts of the forest, nearly a hundred Navy soldiers stood around, afraid to enter.

The Navy soldiers who had just entered only let out screams before they all disappeared.

With a pat, Victor landed in front of them.

"Captain Victor!"

Just like Eric and the others, the Navy soldiers outside the forest, upon seeing Victor appear, felt as if they had been given a shot of confidence.

Victor said without looking back, "Don't get too close, lest you get caught in the crossfire."

"Yes!" The surrounding Navy soldiers instinctively nodded.

Victor grunted, then strode into the forest.

The ground was covered in corpses, and the bodies were not intact. Redfield's slashes had cut them into pieces.

A rough count revealed at least over a hundred bodies.

"To make me lose so many subordinates," Victor said calmly, "how do you intend to atone?"

Redfield stood directly in front of Victor.

At this moment, Redfield's hands were on the handle of his umbrella, and he was sizing up Victor expressionlessly.

"If you want to avenge your subordinates, then attack me."

A smile appeared at the corner of Redfield's mouth.

"As you wish."

Victor took off the Justice Cape behind him and threw it into the air.

The moment he threw off his cape, he raised his foot and kicked fiercely forward.

His black-clad foot, wrapped in Armament Haki, landed squarely on the black umbrella tip.

Sizzle sizzle...

The Armament Haki of the two clashed violently.

"You're stronger than I expected," Redfield said with a frown.

The moment Victor threw off his cape was actually an opening.

Redfield seized the opening, intending to kill Victor in one blow.

However, Victor not only predicted Redfield's actions but also moved with incredible speed.

"Then your judgment was wrong again," Victor said calmly.

"???" Redfield looked confused.

"I am stronger than you," Victor said. The moment he spoke, his right foot erupted with immense power.

Whoosh!

Redfield was so taken by surprise that he was pushed back a considerable distance by the immense force.

As soon as Redfield stabilized himself, he saw Victor transform into streaks of afterimages and pounce.

"Such speed, such explosive power."

Redfield felt that Victor's explosive power could even be compared to Whitebeard and Roger.

And Victor looks so young!

"Surprised?"

"You think I'm too young?"

With a whoosh, Victor appeared before Redfield, raising his leg for a downward chop.

Victor's downward chop was like the blade of a guillotine, falling with extreme speed and terrifying power!

Redfield raised his umbrella sword to block.

Sizzling.

Amidst the friction of Armament Haki, centered on the two of them, the surrounding trees snapped in half from the shockwave.

"This kid has so much strength!" Redfield's heart churned like stormy waves, unable to find peace.

He had fought against a young Kong, Sengoku, and others before, but their strength back then was definitely not this great!

"Don't think I'm weak just because I'm young."

As Victor spoke, he delivered another high kick, like a cleaver, straight for Redfield's neck.

Rumble.

On the outskirts of the forest, the Navy didn't know what was happening inside.

They only saw swathes of trees falling.

"This must be caused by Senior and Count Red fighting!"

Wright and the others were shocked!

They hadn't seen Victor and Jonathan's fight earlier.

Therefore, they only knew Victor was strong, but they didn't know he was this strong!

At this moment, another loud noise echoed from the forest, shaking the entire Gal Island.

No one knew what was happening inside.

Inside the forest, Redfield glanced not far away.

The dust and smoke cleared.

Revealing a deep pit.

Victor was still in the pit, maintaining a downward punching pose.

If Redfield hadn't dodged in time just now, that punch would have landed on him.

"Quite disappointing. I thought you'd trade a punch with me head-on."

Victor said calmly.

"Is this guy a monster?" Redfield stared coldly at Victor.

"However, Garp was right."

Victor suddenly smiled.

As a transmigrator, he knew Sengoku had exaggerated Count Red's strength, claiming Count Red stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion on his own.

In reality, Count Red's strength wasn't that terrifying.

Garp had said Count Red was someone not worthy of leaving his name in history, and Count Red himself admitted he was inferior to Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion.

If nothing else, Redfield's lack of resolve was clearly insufficient.

How could a true powerhouse cower from a direct confrontation!

"What did Garp say?" Redfield asked.

"It's not important." Victor shook his head. "Although you're not as good as Roger and the others, defeating you will not only get me promoted but also make my name known across the seas."

Last time, even though he captured Jonathan, Victor didn't get promoted.

Fortunately, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and the others also didn't get promoted.

Now, if he could capture Redfield, promotion would be secondary; making a name for himself across the seas was the priority.

"With just you, you think you can capture me?" Redfield snorted coldly. He didn't deny Victor was strong, but he wasn't weak either.

"Death's Kiss!"

In an instant, Redfield launched his attack, thrusting his umbrella sword repeatedly.

The umbrella sword seemed to transform into hundreds, even thousands, of venomous snakes, ferociously biting at Victor.

However, Victor's expression was calm; he dodged them all.

Moreover, he dodged them before they were launched.

His moves seemed to be seen through and countered by Victor.

This greatly surprised Redfield.

"Can you see the future?"

Redfield said coldly.

Having roamed the seas for many years, Redfield had seen his fair share of the world.

He had heard that Observation Haki could foresee the future, but that level was extremely difficult to achieve.

Katakuri, for example, could see a period of the future, and Luffy, during his fight with Katakuri, had also elevated his Observation Haki to the realm of seeing a portion of the future.

Dodging attacks and predicting them were merely basic operations of Observation Haki, not foreseeing the future.
