" Vic! Who are you talking to?"
Just as Vic put away his Den Den Mushi, Rebecca, who had come to see him, saw him. Vic no longer restricted Rebecca and a few others from going out, but Rebecca preferred to stay with Vic, so she stayed at the base and often came to see him. Only she knew what she was thinking!
"I have a friend you don't know."
Vic contacted Dragon to inquire about his progress in comprehending the Laws. Although two years had passed and Dragon's progress was encouraging, he was still quite far from breaking through the bottleneck of the God Realm!
It's possible that Dragon focused most of his energy on developing the Revolutionary Army, and became somewhat lax after Awakening his Devil Fruit power. Although he is now fully committed to comprehending the Laws, the time is still too short!
Vic regretted not telling Dragon these things sooner, which had caused him to waste too much time. So Vic could only try his best to pass on his experience to Dragon so that he could avoid some detours!
"Oh! You've acknowledged my Conqueror's Haki, so what aspect of training should I focus on next?"
Seeing that Vic didn't want to talk, Rebecca didn't press him. She knew it would be useless to force him; if he couldn't tell her, he wouldn't. If Vic could tell her, he would have already done so!
"Continue developing the abilities of the Float-Float Fruit. Didn't you already develop the ability to increase weight? Just continue developing in that direction."
The essence of the Float-Float Fruit's power should be gravity. As long as you don't encounter a bottleneck, just keep developing it. Tell me when you do!
Rebecca's Haki talent is just so-so, only considered above average. Her Conqueror's Haki is so strong because of the Soul Fruit!
As for her to achieve something in Armament Haki, it would be too difficult. Vic doesn't expect Rebecca's Armament Haki to be able to fight against someone at the God Realm. He'd rather leave this verification experiment to himself!
What happened to Dragon taught Vic a lesson: time is of the essence. Before he could figure out a way to comprehend the Laws within the illusion, he shouldn't let the person he had his eye on waste his time!
Even if we can't directly say that the God Realm brings disaster to people, we still need to guide them in that direction. Cultivating while waiting for a way to comprehend the Laws within the illusion is the right path!
Vic is too arrogant, thinking he is omnipotent and will definitely be able to figure out a way to comprehend the Laws even in an illusion. By then, he won't have any time to spare!
It was this blind confidence that prevented Vic from informing the people he had his eye on earlier, wasting a lot of time. The person most affected by this was Dragon, because he was the oldest among those Vic had chosen, and his understanding of the Laws was also the most disadvantaged!
Next is Shanks. However, Shanks ' background makes Vic somewhat hesitant. He doesn't know whether he should tell Shanks about the God Realm. If Shanks is the most secretive person, then Vic's long-standing concealment will be immediately exposed to the highest level of the Celestial Dragons, and the final battle will be imminent!
The least affected should be Luffy, Ace, Yamato, and Nami. They are very young, their bodies are in their peak condition, and it is also the age when they comprehend the Laws and become stronger the fastest!
Most importantly, they have been cultivating and getting stronger. They are still far from the God Realm and have a lot of room for improvement. They have never slacked off, so even if Vic did not tell them about the God Realm in advance, it would not affect their continued growth!
But precisely because they are young and lack sufficient experience and understanding, even if Vic had informed them in advance, it wouldn't have made much difference, so the impact on them wasn't significant!
However, now that Luffy, Ace, and Yamato have all grown up, their rate of growth has slowed down. With the lesson of Dragon in mind, Vic thinks it's time to set a new goal for them to strive for!
Don't worry about Luffy. Although Vic didn't explicitly tell him about the God Realm, he has already shown him the direction to take!
Moreover, given Luffy's personality, directly telling him about the God Realm might not necessarily be a good thing. Luffy is very good at accepting promises made by others; the bigger the promise, the bigger the surprise he can bring!
Therefore, by not setting specific goals for him, the greatest miracles can happen to Luffy, which is how Luffy has always been!
After making his decision, Vic went to find Yamato. Yamato had recently left the base with Vic's permission, which meant that Yamato's strength and Conqueror's Haki had both improved!
Vic has Yamato's Vivre Card, so finding Yamato is very easy!
Not only Yamato, but all members of the Thunder God Pirates have their own Vic Vivre Card, which is also a precaution.
Vivre Card is an existence that is closely related to and coexists with one's own life force. It can reflect one's physical condition. If someone's Vivre Card is burning and shrinking, Vic can rush over to rescue them in time!
With their current strength, even the Holy Knights would find it difficult to take their lives in a short time. In that time, Vic would still be able to arrive in time!
Vic couldn't do it before, but after comprehending the Law of Space for two years, Vic can now fold space and achieve true teleportation!
However, Vic needs the Vivre Card to locate himself. Without the Vivre Card, his destination might be off-target, and the extent of the deviation depends entirely on luck!
Vic took out Yamato's Vivre Card and placed it in his palm. Watching the small piece of Vivre Card move, he quickly learned Yamato's location and approximate distance.
With one step, Vic seemed to merge into the void, creating ripples in space until he completely disappeared, at which point the ripples gradually subsided and vanished!
" Yamato! I've got something good for you. Close your eyes and clear your mind!"
After finding Yamato, Vic didn't say much. Like Dragon, he directly pulled Yamato's consciousness into the illusion, letting her witness the power of the God Realm!
He then told Yamato that there were such powerful individuals within the World Government, and more than one, so he needed Yamato's help and for Yamato to continue to grow stronger. Afterward, he shared his experience of breaking through to the God Realm with Yamato!
Ignoring Yamato, who was still somewhat bewildered after receiving a large amount of new knowledge, Vic once again folded his space and headed towards the Cross Guild's headquarters.
Since its founding in the New World, the Cross Guild has never changed its headquarters, so it's easy to find. Vic arrived here after three spatial folds.
Vic opened up the illusions all the way and easily entered the core area as if it were empty, until he walked into the largest tent in the core, where he was discovered by Ace, Hawk-Eye and Marco!
After Vic entered the tent, he dispelled the illusion. The other core members were a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Ace and the other two. They followed the three's gaze and saw the people who had appeared silently. They were all quite shocked!
Since their Observation Haki hadn't reacted at all, if this person wanted to kill them, it would be incredibly easy!
However, after seeing the man's face clearly, they knew that even if their Observation Haki had reacted just now, it would be useless. If Thunder God wanted them dead, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
" Mr. Vic! I'm so glad you could come to see me. Please have a seat!"
Upon seeing Vic's arrival, Ace was very excited and immediately stood up from his seat, rushing over to Vic and leading Vic to his seat.
