Seeing that he couldn't defeat Rebecca for a long time, Auston's attacks became increasingly frantic. Rebecca was now struggling to defend herself, and a slight mistake could result in serious injury.
At this moment, Auston had already transformed into Human-Beast Form, striking a pose reminiscent of a white crane spreading its wings.
Auston spread his claws out to his sides, one claw forward and the other backward, one foot on the ground and the other tucked in, looking like he was about to unleash a powerful attack.
Rebecca dared not underestimate him. She focused all her attention on Auston, preparing for her counterattack.
" Spiral Ascending Claw "
Auston began to spin on one foot, faster and faster, creating gusts of wind that whipped their hair and clothes into the air, sending broken planks from the deck flying into the sea.
Auston's figure was no longer visible; only a tornado remained, hurtling towards Rebecca at incredible speed.
Rebecca's expression was unusually solemn at this moment. This kind of attack was difficult to find a weakness in, and once it gained momentum, it was difficult for ordinary people to break through.
Rebecca tried to attack several times, but was deflected each time. Now she could only be chased and attacked by this whirlwind.
Vic is also keeping a close eye on Rebecca, and he will intervene if anything unexpected happens.
Vic and Queen are locked in a stalemate. If Vic continues his attack, Queen will surely crush the poison bomb and take them both down with him.
Vic didn't force him, and Queen didn't dare to crush the virus bomb on his own, because he knew that if Vic were infected, he would definitely attack him desperately.
Defeating him offered a chance to find the antidote, while missing the opportunity meant certain death. He knew Vic wasn't stupid enough to think of this.
Moments later, Rebecca was cornered.
At Auston's speed, she couldn't avoid it.
At this moment, Rebecca remembered what Wendy had told her: Vic had been getting close to Rear Admiral Gion recently because their strengths were becoming more similar, allowing them to verify each other's insights.
I want to become stronger!
I will rely on myself!
"We can't rely on Vic all the time anymore!"
"I want to be a partner who can help him, or even..."
A powerful thought surged through Rebecca's mind, and she slowly closed her eyes, her mind going completely dark.
Gradually, the darkness brightened again, and the image of the velociraptor in my mind appeared, striking a pose like a white crane spreading its wings, slowly turning its body and causing the air to flow.
"Why is he moving so slowly? Why is his tongue sticking out? And his eyes are rolling back? Is he reaching his limit?"
Then more images appeared in my mind: the shattered deck, Rear Admiral Gion's worried face, Vic's tall and handsome figure, and the yellow Mogura.
Slowly, the entire pirate ship appeared, and then she saw the seawater, that frozen surface, with frenzied fish covered in ice spots underwater, and even more schools of fish scattering and fleeing.
"The world has become more detailed; even the seawater has become transparent? How wonderful!!!"
Rebecca took a step and walked past Auston without Auston attacking her; she left the corner.
She opened her eyes; it was still the same world, but she had escaped.
Looking back at Auston, who was still a whirlwind, she knew that he had just Awakening his Observation Haki.
"Is this the power Vic was talking about? I understand now!"
"I've become stronger! I can finally help Vic! Hehe!"
Rebecca's mood improved dramatically, and she looked at Vic with some delight, but all she saw was Vic opening his mouth as if to speak, his eyes flashing with a fierce light!
Rebecca was stunned. Why was Vic looking at her like that? Then she felt a sharp pain in her body, and then she fell unconscious!
Before she lost consciousness, only one urgent sentence reached her ears; it was Vic's voice, somewhat ethereal.
"Watch out!!! Rebecca!"
Vic had just discovered that Rebecca Awakening her Observation Haki and thought the battle was in the bag, but unexpectedly Rebecca's emotions suddenly changed drastically, and her Observation Haki stopped working.
Vic only had time to utter one sentence before Vic reached Rebecca's side, only to Rebecca had already been hit and sent flying!
Enraged, Vic cleaved the velociraptor in two with a single strike, then caught Rebecca while she was still in mid-air.
Vic had already picked up the two women and left the Beasts Pirates ' Brachiosaurus using Geppo.
Queen glanced at the pile of corpses on the deck, then at Auston, who had been reduced to two human-shaped pieces, before turning back to look at Vic's shrinking figure, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
Queen slowly walked into the cabin, took out a Den Den Mushi from his room, and returned to the deck.
Queen dialed Kaido's number, but no one answered for a long time. He dialed again, and this time someone finally answered. However, the Den Den Mushi ) simulated not Kaido's face, but King the Conflagration's.
"Hey, you scumbag King, it's you again? Where's Boss Kaido?"
"You idiot Queen, I just saw your annoying face on the Den Den Mushi, and I wasn't going to answer, but you called again."
"What, you're still alive? You look pretty badly injured, you even have wounds on your face!"
"Shut up! You scumbag Jhin, answer my question first. You're not dead yet, how can I die first?"
"Oh, Wisdom King heard that some fool's Vivre Card was about to burn out, so he rushed to save him. But the fool is actually alive and well! Wisdom King really made a wasted trip!"
"Boss Kaido is here? That's good..."
"Hmph, then the trip wasn't in vain. This matter is very serious; it concerns the Wano Country we rule!"
"Oh, what's wrong? Is it that serious?"
"It's related to my injury today. I ran into a brat from the Navy who actually knows we rule Wano Country. If this gets out, the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely come looking for an explanation."
"Oh, that's indeed very important, but Wisdom King is already gone. He doesn't usually carry Den Den Mushi), so we can't contact him now!"
"It's alright, as long as Boss Kaido is here, that's fine. I need to bandage myself up first."
Queen had many wounds inflicted by Vic Mind Power. These injuries had special effects and were difficult to heal quickly. Queen had already lost a lot of blood, but fortunately, he was Zoan, so his blood was relatively thick.
On the new recruits' warship, they were already quite a distance from the battleground. Hmm, Little Yellow is working very hard; he's paddling really fast.
" Barnett, are Vic and the others alright?" Phoebe asked with some concern. The enemy wasn't an ordinary pirate crew; it was one of the top pirate groups in the New World.
"Of course! Vic and the others will definitely come back safely. He's someone who can defeat Vice Admiral, how could he possibly fall here!" Barnett said firmly.
Barnett wasn't just trying to comfort her; this was his true feeling. From the moment he entered Recruit Camp, everything he saw and heard repeatedly challenged his understanding of Vic. Until this practical assessment, his belief in Vic was strengthened.
If they were both pirates, despite their differing stances, he would say, " Vic will definitely become the Pirate King, absolutely!!!"
Now he'd say, " Vic is the only one worthy of the Fleet Admiral. Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji have to step aside. I'm telling you, even a god would applaud and congratulate him!!!"
Barnett has now decided to follow Vic after graduation, and he wants to push Vic step by step to the position of Fleet Admiral.
Vic doesn't like managing things, so he manages them; he does the dirty work that Vic doesn't want to do; he takes on the women Vic doesn't like... No, this one can't do it; he doesn't care about family matters.
Barnett knew from some of Vic's actions that this man had something important on his mind, as if a sword was hanging over his head, driving him to relentlessly pursue power.
Vic doesn't care much about other things, and he doesn't have an arrogant attitude when communicating with people. Strangers might think he's aloof, but he just doesn't want to waste too much time on pointless chatter. He seems to be constantly in a state of spiritual cultivation.
While others slept at night, he was also practicing. He rarely took off the burdens he carried, basically living with them around the clock, and he continued to practice in this state.
All the cadets on the warship were looking in that direction, as was the grader—the direction the pirate ship had disappeared. Only Little Yellow was carefree, paddling along.
"We must have faith in Vic's abilities; his strength is undeniable!!!"
Kevin also chimed in, saying that he greatly admired Vic, whose level of abnormality exceeded his imagination.
" Kevin, your Devil Fruit ability allows you to fly, why don't you go check on the situation?" Barnett said to Kevin.
"We've all incurred his debt again this time, but unfortunately we're too weak to be of any help. I'll go over and see if I can do anything to help!"
Kevin sighed and immediately prepared to transform when a cry of surprise rang out.
"Look, something's coming!"
Everyone immediately looked in that direction and sure enough, they saw a black dot coming towards them, bouncing around like a bouncy black ball.
The black ball was moving very fast, and its shape soon became clear: conjoined twins—no, it was Vic using Geppo to jump while holding the bodies of two women.
Those on the boat saw it clearly and were happy for their safe return, but also worried about the two women being held, as they saw that both were covered in blood and clearly injured.
" Rear Admiral Gion, Rebecca, I see the warships! We're back!"
Vic also saw the warship and the people on board. Gion looked up at the warship and smiled. Only Rebecca was still unconscious.
The people on the warship also saw Rear Admiral Gion Rear Admiral Gion up and knew that he should be fine. However, Rebecca looked like she was unconscious, and they were worried about how serious her condition was.
