"What's wrong with this female navy woman? She's suddenly like a completely different person. Does she have multiple personalities? How come her Observation Haki is failing? Is it because my emotions are too volatile that it's malfunctioning?"
No! I can predict the moves of the Lao San and Lao Si sisters, so what went wrong? Could it be that her Observation Haki has reached the level of Future Sight? How is that possible!"
Although Lao Jiu was dodging Rebecca's attacks, he was also thinking at the same time, but he couldn't understand what was happening at all and could only passively take the beating.
As Lao Jiu rolled over, he pushed off the ground with both arms, launching himself into the air and dodging the ensuing attack.
Seeing that Lao Jiu Lao Jiu left the ground, Rebecca stopped her ranged attacks and continued to chase after him, preparing for close combat.
Lao Jiu had many wounds on his body. Even though he was Zoan with strong vitality, there were limits. Many of his wounds could no longer be squeezed together to stop the bleeding.
So Lao Jiu is already losing his life force, but seeing Rebecca attacking him, he doesn't dare to let his guard down and recuperate.
Rebecca approached Lao Jiu and thrust her sword forward without hesitation. Lao Jiu could only quickly deflect it with his claws, but Rebecca's sword suddenly changed course halfway through.
"Bang"
With a loud bang, Rebecca appeared instantly behind Lao Jiu, while a jet of blood shot out from Lao Jiu's waist.
This attack was very damaging; Lao Jiu's mind went blank for a moment. Rebecca arrived behind Lao Jiu and didn't stop, resulting in another loud bang.
Rebecca arrived in front of Lao Jiu again, but a jet of blood also flew out from Lao Jiu's other side waist.
Rebecca circled around Lao Jiu, moving left and right, back and forth, causing Lao Jiu to sustain more and more large wounds. It wasn't until after a dozen or so moves that Rebecca stopped at a distance.
At this point, Lao Jiu looked like a battered teddy bear. He stood still for a second before collapsing in the Flower Field. Then his body transformed back into human form, but he had lost consciousness. However, the number of wounds on his body was alarming, as if he had been whipped.
Rebecca let out a long breath after sheathing her longsword. Instinctive combat was too physically demanding, more than five times the amount she needed for normal combat. She couldn't afford to fight against tanky opponents.
Rebecca turned and walked a short distance to Lao Jiu's side. She glanced at Lao Jiu, who was shirtless. Her Observation Haki sensed that Lao Jiu was still alive, but they were still somewhat useful. Rebecca did not kill him immediately, but stayed by his side to prevent any accidents. After all, Zoan have strong vitality and recover faster.
" Rebecca is amazing! She was the first to defeat her opponent. Just now, she seemed like a completely different person, and she became even stronger!"
The fighting got a bit too ferocious, not as visually appealing as before, but it's good that they defeated the enemy. I wonder who will be the one to defeat the opponent next?
Konan was overjoyed to see Rebecca secure the first kill, and was extremely pleased with her own judgment; Rebecca was indeed the strongest.
"What's so great about that? It's just that Vic hasn't even used his full strength yet. Otherwise, those rhinos would have been defeated long ago. Sister Rebecca uses this crazy fighting style when she can't beat others. It's not graceful at all, and she's far inferior to Vic!"
Ain was annoyed by Konan's tone; Rebecca was stealing the spotlight again, making the perfect Vic in her mind lose his luster.
"Yes, yes, you're right." Konan said without turning her head. Ain was furious at Konan's perfunctory attitude, and her little fists clenched tightly.
After Lao Jiu was defeated, the others who were fighting also witnessed it, and each person reacted and had different emotions.
Wendy glanced at it and smiled. She was now full of confidence and could end the battle at any time, but she didn't do that. She needed to continue practicing her Observation Haki.
When the Lao Si saw the defeated Lao Jiu and then glanced at Wendy, he saw in his heart that he would suffer the same fate as the Lao Jiu. He was somewhat unwilling and his mind was filled with many thoughts.
Barnett was still caught up in the excitement of Future Sight, beating the Lao San mercilessly until he was on the verge of death. The Lao San, who was being beaten, didn't even have a chance to see the Lao Jiu being defeated. However, Frodeku saw it and felt that the process should be sped up.
"So, how does it feel to see your comrade defeated?"
Vic couldn't help but smirk as he saw Rebecca use Instinct to fight again. Perhaps Rebecca could forge a different path. As long as she excels in everything else, it wouldn't matter if she didn't have the Observation Haki to foresee the future. How many people in this world possess Observation Haki at the level of foreseeing the future? Rebecca could still reach a very high level.
"He's not my partner, and I'm not his partner. We're just a temporary duo, but we've been together for a while now—ten years. It's not a long time in the grand scheme of things, but it's not short either. We've just gotten used to being together!"
Zero spoke somewhat casually, but a tear quickly slid down his right eye before he returned to normal, a sight witnessed by Vic.
Although he was the perpetrator, he was still a human being and could not be completely devoid of emotion and desire. Even a dog would develop feelings after ten years of companionship. No matter how lightly you describe it, you cannot hide the impact of emotional changes on the body.
Vic had only just arrived on the island and knew nothing about Zero and his group. He had no interest in their experiences or ties, only that he had been assigned by some powerful force to be a guard on the island.
But that's enough. They brought immense harm to the island, a hopeless future to the civilians, and a huge number of slaves to the world. Although they were not the instigators, they were the executors and accomplices, and they too must bear the wrath of the entire island, as well as the wrath of those few naval recruits.
"You still can't make me draw my sword? Then this battle needs to end sooner rather than later!"
Vic didn't want to waste any more time. He had already exerted the necessary pressure, and what followed was a desperate use of force to suppress Zero. If he could break through Zero's defenses in one blow, that would be the best outcome.
After speaking, Vic disappeared from the spot. This time, Zero's Observation Haki hadn't even reacted before Vic appeared beside him, as if the whole thing had froze for a moment.
Vic's dark fist had already struck the armor on Zero's neck, the strongest part of Zero's body, made up of several layers of wrinkled, hard skin.
Vic punched Zero's massive rhinoceros-like form, sending it flying. A deep fist mark was left where Zero was hit.
White mist swirled and danced at the fist imprint as Zero's body flew away at breakneck speed, and Zero's enormous body swept away another Flower Field.
Although the neck is the most vulnerable part of the body, this was also the most serious injury he had ever sustained; his cervical vertebrae were almost broken by Vic's shockwave.
