After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone was enjoying themselves. Hina inadvertently noticed the three knives at Vic's waist, two of which exuded Haki and were particularly eye-catching.
They were standing when they were talking, and the three knives were hidden inside Vic's black cloak, but now that they're sitting down to eat, they're showing.
Hina also knew that one of Vic's swords was broken. They had come here in the past month and knew that Vic was in seclusion forging swords, but they did not expect that Vic's new sword would be so extraordinary.
" Vic, is this your new knife? It looks quite special. Can you show it to everyone? Hina bets everyone wants to see it!"
Hina said with a smile that she wanted to watch it herself but insisted on dragging others along, and of course, everyone present really wanted to watch it too.
The group looked at Vic with hopeful eyes, making it difficult for Vic to refuse. He had originally planned to reveal the true nature of the two Great Grade Sword on an important occasion, but now he could only satisfy everyone's curiosity for the time being.
"Alright then, let's go to the beach. We can't try it on land!" Vic said, getting up and walking towards the beach, his hand already on the hilt of his knife.
The others also got up and followed behind. Everyone knew that Vic had previously wounded the Strongest Creature with his Grade Swords, and now his sword looked extraordinary. They really didn't know how strong its attack power was!
Vic arrived at the beach, glanced at the sky, and saw that the sun had completely set, the moon had not yet risen, and the sky was very dark.
Vic glanced back at the watchtowers, then finally fixed his gaze on the sea ahead.
Vic assumed a sword-drawing stance and remained motionless, staring intently at the waves ahead.
" Vic's momentum is rising!"
"The momentum is getting stronger and stronger!"
I feel something drilling into my body!
"The surrounding space has become sharp, so powerful!"
" Dragon Slayer "
Vic cleaved the Blood Wither blade vertically towards the sea, the movement of the blade accompanied by a dragon's roar that echoed across the surface for a long time.
A massive black Sword Gang entered the ocean, its white edges surrounding Sword Gang, illuminating the sky in a chaotic haze.
The sea was split into a huge abyss, and the water on both sides formed two amazing waterfalls, the width of which could not be seen.
The waterfall was illuminated as the Sword Gang moved, and the Sword Gang quickly disappeared into the distance!
"It's truly different. The sword I forged myself perfectly matches my Sword Qi, and the utilization rate of my Mind Power has also greatly improved. It's completely smooth and unhindered in use, as easy and effortless as using an limb."
"It used to take a long time to gather Qi to use this move, but now it takes less than half that time, and the power is many times stronger than before. Indeed, a sword should be suited to oneself!" Vic sighed after carefully contemplating the technique.
Vic's forging of this blade was indeed done according to his own vision. As he forged the blade, he infused it with his own Sword Qi, forging and refining it little by little. The blade blank gradually became in harmony with Vic's Sword Qi, until it achieved its current state.
"Did the black moon fall from the sky?!"
"This is something a human can actually do!!!"
"I think I saw a dragon fly out!"
" Vic, you're a freak, a complete freak! I feel like my Logia ability is trash, you've shattered my confidence!"
"Sigh, it looks like no Sea Kings will come here for a long time. If we want to eat them, we'll have to go much farther to catch them!"
Vic sheathed his sword, gazed at the still-recovering sea ahead, and sighed softly.
"Hey, is this the time to worry about that? Can't you comfort my wounded heart!"
" Vic's slash was like a work of art, beautiful yet fraught with danger!"
"Has Vic gotten stronger again? How can I catch up? My talent is really terrible. I must Awakening Armament Haki quickly!" Rebecca was once again caught up in her own internal struggles.
"Perhaps, Vic really is my benefactor, and I made the right choice!" Wendy thought about many things.
"Let's go, we've seen it all, let's not dwell on it anymore," Vic said, and strode towards the cabin.
The group followed behind, all somewhat dazed. Today they had witnessed a different world, a new realm opened up before them.
"Hey, do you think we should report what happened here today?"
"Idiot! You're such a greenhorn. Of course you have to report! Our duty is to be constantly vigilant for anything unusual here!"
Is something wrong here?
"Isn't this an anomaly? The sea has been split open!"
"Oh, then you can report it!"
"You greenhorn, this is the kind of thing a recruit like you should do!"
"But I can't describe it, I can't think of the right words..."
In front of the cabin, everyone dispersed, and Rebecca returned to her room, preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Vic sat cross-legged on the grass, his entire body covered in Haki. He began to use his Haki to nurture his two swords, intending to transform them into Black Blade. This process might take a long time, starting tonight!
Nothing happened that night, and the next day arrived quickly. When Rebecca went out, she saw Vic still sitting cross-legged on the grass. Her eyes were filled with heartache. Vic had been cultivating diligently for the past few years, rarely sleeping and replacing sleep with meditation.
He was already very talented, and he was working so hard. Rebecca felt it was unnecessary and tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail. She could tell that Vic was hiding something, but Vic had never told her and had always been bearing it all by himself.
" Vic, hurry up and wash up, we made plans with Hina and the others today!" Rebecca called out to Vic, who was still asleep.
Once the two were ready, they set off. The group agreed to meet at the front square and then head to Sabaody together.
After gathering in the square, the group boarded a logistics transport ship and headed to the Sabaody Archipelago.
At the Marine Base in Sabaody, Vic saw many naval officers wearing cloaks. These were not ordinary soldiers; they were at least colonels, high-ranking officers with impressive presence. However, Vic didn't pay them much attention, as they weren't particularly close to him.
The group headed directly into the island. The three girls were very cheerful along the way, chattering non-stop. One said she wanted to play this game, and the other said she wanted to play this game.
Vic wore a faint smile. Nothing much happened this time. Most people on the island knew Vic, and the news from a month ago was still being talked about. When they saw Vic, they subconsciously made way for him and stood still until Vic and his group were far away before starting to talk about him excitedly.
Smoker seemed a bit hesitant, and it's unclear what was causing his reluctance towards the amusement Paradise.
Finally, the group arrived at Area 10 in the Lawless Zone. At this point, Smoker could no longer contain himself, because Area 30, where the amusement Paradise was located, was just ahead.
"Um, I just remembered I'm out of cigarettes. I need to go buy some. You guys go ahead, I'll come find you later!" Smoker suddenly said, patting his pocket.
Yes, that's a valid reason, and none of them objected, except for Hina was very unhappy, as if some plan had been ruined.
Smoker left the group, and Vic shook his head and chuckled, continuing forward. Smoker was a Logia Fruit user, so their safety was guaranteed in the first half of the sea, and Vic wasn't worried.
Vic led the girls to find the intelligence officer, Ben. Ben was quite smug at the time, because many people knew that Ben had a close relationship with that naval rookie. Vic had visited him several times and had been seen by others. Ben now had some influence in Sabaody, and his intelligence network had expanded even further.
Ben was overjoyed to see Vic arrive. He never expected that his kind reminder would lead to such a significant improvement in his status. Vic's visit undoubtedly served as a further boost to their relationship.
Ban glanced at the other intelligence officers and saw the envy, jealousy, and hatred in their eyes. He became even more enthusiastic towards Vic, quickly greeting them warmly and pouring tea for them.
" Mr. Vic, I wonder how I can help you this time? I will do my best to do it for you!" Ban said eagerly.
"Oh, I do need your help with something. I'd like you to help me look into a pirate crew called the ' Claw Pirates.' They're from the East Blue, so they should be on the Grand Line by now, but I haven't received any concrete information about them for the past year," Vic asked casually.
