" Ray, bring Vic here."
Ray hearing his command, Are immediately understood Noah's intention. "I'll bring him here right away."
A few minutes later, Ray and Vic jumped out of the wormhole.
Vic, who was already nearly 3.3 meters tall, much taller than everyone else, asked with some confusion, "Big brother, there don't seem to be any enemies around, right? Why did you call me over?"
"Of course it's a good thing. This is Logia Rock-Rock Fruit. You can eat it." Noah handed the Rock-Rock Fruit to Vic.
" Logia?"
"Don't refuse. You should be feeling the bottleneck by now, right?"
Vic immediately lowered his head. He did indeed feel the bottleneck. At this time, he was 17 years old. After 7 years of persistent training, coupled with the various resources of the Noah Family, his strength had reached the level of Elite Vice Admiral.
Reaching the rank of Elite Vice Admiral solely through physical prowess and Haki is already incredibly impressive for someone his age.
Unfortunately, Vic already had this level of strength at the beginning of last year, but a year has passed and his progress has been very slow, even with desperate training that consumes his life force.
Clearly, this means Vic's physical potential has reached its limit.
As for the Vampire Fruit Noah prepared for him, Vic never asked to eat it because he felt that Vampire were not suitable for hard-hitting martial arts masters.
After Noah learned that the fruit in front of him was the Rock-Rock Fruit, he felt that Vic was very suitable for this fruit.
After hesitating for a moment, Vic picked up the Rock-Rock Fruit. He knew he couldn't act recklessly; his family needed more Admiral- level fighters to deal with future enemies.
He ate the grape-shaped Rock-Rock Fruit without expression, leaving not a single one behind.
The moment he ate the Rock-Rock Fruit, a powerful shockwave suddenly erupted from his body.
"It's Conqueror's Haki?" Noah was very surprised; he hadn't expected Vic to have such talent.
However, he soon discovered a strange phenomenon: Vic's Conqueror's Haki was also crimson red, and it had merged with Noah's Conqueror's Haki.
As the two Conqueror's Haki merged, Noah sensed Vic's will within them.
It was pure belief, self-suggestion day and night, physical training day after day, and the evolutionary power of IQ that Awakening its crimson Conqueror's Haki.
"So that's how it is, so Conqueror's Haki can be trained in this way..."
Clearly, Vic's situation provided Noah with a very accurate answer.
Pure conviction, a powerful physique, and the evolutionary power of IQ as a catalyst can potentially awaken a person's Conqueror's Haki.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Noah's moral education.
Generally speaking, within a pirate crew, each crew has the potential to produce a leader with Conqueror's Haki, but it's rare for two or three Conqueror's Haki to possess it.
For example, the Whitebeard Pirates consisted of Whitebeard, Blackbeard (who held back), Ace (who gave up), and Kozuki Oden (who partially withdrew).
Big Mom Pirates: Charlotte Linlin and Charlotte Katakuri (protecting their family).
The Beasts Pirates, Kaido and Yamato (who compares himself to Oden ).
Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates.
In other words, the pirate crew's organizational structure is inherently unsuitable for producing a large number of Conqueror's Haki Awakening, because the captain's beliefs must necessitate that the crew members share the same convictions.
Only the captain of a pirate crew is qualified to pursue the so-called " Pirate King " dream.
This dream cannot accommodate the ambition of a second person to Awakening Conqueror's Haki's Haki.
For example, Ace joined Whitebeard's crew and always wanted Whitebeard to become the Pirate King. Under such circumstances, how could his Conqueror's Haki be strong?
Between two kings, it's like two tigers cannot share one mountain; unless one side is willing to submit.
However, those who subdue Conqueror's Haki Awakening to never become powerful. Just like Doflamingo, who was always subservient to Kaido and Big Mom, it would be a miracle if his Conqueror's Haki could be improved.
The Noah Family is different, especially the core members. They have been educated by Noah's ideas. Although they acknowledge and respect Noah as their elder brother, they also have the belief in changing the world.
The dream of creating a New World is enough to accommodate countless individuals who Awakening Conqueror's Haki.
After all, there can only be one Pirate King, but there can be countless Saviors.
This is the difference between dreams.
Noah's dream can accommodate everyone.
The only dream of Pirate King is to be himself.
With the Awakening of Vic's Conqueror's Haki, Noah's inner conviction grew stronger.
When Vic, as if waking from a dream, saw Accino struggling to hold on, he realized that his Conqueror's Haki had overwhelmed him, which was perfectly normal.
After all, Accino was forced to join, and had only been there for a little over a month, so naturally he couldn't develop Heart Resonance with Noah and thus become immune to Conqueror's Haki.
Vic withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and immediately said respectfully to Noah, "Big brother, thank you very much for your guidance."
"Don't underestimate yourself. Your efforts are also the foundation of today. Now that you have gained this power, make good use of it and strive for a brand new ideal world."
"Yes, that's my belief too!" Vic's gaze was unwavering.
"Is this the power of belief?" Robin looked at Vic in surprise. She wasn't familiar with Vic, only knowing that he was Noah's childhood friend and one of the earliest members of the Noah Family.
Noah turned to the others. " The Awakening of Conqueror's Haki is the condensation of belief. As long as you wholeheartedly agree with the dream of creating an ideal world, coupled with a strong physique and the evolutionary power of the IQ serum, you all have the potential to Awakening Conqueror's Haki."
"Is anything alright?" Kuro asked thoughtfully.
Noah looked at Kuro: "To be precise, the purer the belief, the easier it is to Awakening. You are very smart, but it is precisely because you are too smart that your thoughts are complicated, which reduces the probability of you Awakening Conqueror's Haki."
Kuro immediately understood Noah's words. "In other words, the simpler a person is, coupled with a pure dream and the stimulation of an IQ serum, the more likely they are to Awakening Conqueror's Haki. It seems that it is indeed difficult for me to Awakening."
This is also a psychological problem that is difficult for strong strategists to avoid.
Typical overthinking.
When one's thoughts become complicated, one's beliefs become impure.
This is why, among the members of the Noah Family, Vic was the second person to Awakening Conqueror's Haki after Noah.
As Vic Awakening his Conqueror's Haki, Noah began instructing everyone to loot all the treasures of the Ankura Kingdom.
Noah focused on collecting gold and silver, while Robin set his sights on the frozen books, statues, murals, and the like.
Vic also began using his abilities to collect all sorts of gems.
The Rock-Rock Fruit has a unique characteristic: it can only create ordinary rocks at first, but it can record samples of other types of rocks.
The various gemstones left behind here represent almost all types of gemstones in the One Piece world, including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, crystals, amber, beeswax, diamonds, and jade.
After Vic used his abilities to replicate the composition of these gems, he could then use his abilities to imitate them. As long as the corresponding elemental components were present in the surrounding environment, he could replicate artificial gems that were exactly the same as natural gems.
It took Noah and his group more than a week to completely loot the ruins of the Ankura Kingdom.
The gold and silver alone are worth over 300 billion Beli.
As for gemstones, with Vic around, the Noah Family could pave the ground with gemstones if they wanted.
