Vic's method was simple: as long as you are strong enough, no one can bully you. This is a world where strength is paramount. He decided to teach Tashigi to become stronger now, not only physically, but also in swordsmanship.
Tashigi's swordsmanship talent may not be as good as Zoro's, but it is still much stronger than the average person. Once she becomes stronger, she will no longer have to be afraid of being bullied by other children.
Furthermore, Vic told Tashigi that if anyone bullies her, she should fight back, no matter who is behind them. He believed that with him and the old man standing behind Tashigi in the Navy, no one could cause any trouble.
Because of limited time, Vic created a set of diagrams showing the physical exercises and swordsmanship, and even demonstrated them himself many times. Tashigi said she would practice them diligently.
Only then did Vic feel at ease leaving Tashigi at Marine Headquarters. As for Ain, although she had become friends with Tashigi, Vic no longer intended to leave Ain at Headquarters.
Having witnessed this incident, he decided to keep Ain by his side, confident that he could protect Ain. As for cultural studies, he planned to have Rebecca teach them.
This world doesn't require a high level of education; learning to read and write is enough. As for developing creative thinking, it's not simply a matter of learning a lot of things. Vic decided to handle it himself; the ability to think is not something that can be easily broken.
Time was of the essence. Vic only stayed at Marine Headquarters for three days before the old man hurriedly took him to the Dog-Head Warship. Rebecca and the others naturally went with Vic. The lineup on the warship was already very strong, and they were ready to go and have a showdown with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Vic thought the old man was going to take them to the New World to pull off a big heist, but the old man said he had to go back to the East Blue to see his grandson first. Vic was speechless. This surprising turn of events almost made him lose his back. Why is the grandson in such a hurry? I thought they were going to the New World to fight with the Big Mom!
But there was nothing he could do; the warship had already set sail. Vic wasn't disappointed. He hadn't seen some old friends in the East Blue for a long time. This time, he was going to see the protagonist of this world, as well as the familiar main characters. Although they were still children, it was worth seeing them. They were all interesting souls, and he was sure they would have many interactions in the future.
In just three days, the names of Vic and the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit spread throughout the entire Marine Headquarters. Vic's appearance that day was also talked about with great interest and was treated as Big News Morgans.
Many people are unaware that Marine Admiral has already been chosen, and they are saying that Vic might be the youngest Marine Admiral candidate in history. Wherever Vic goes, he is surrounded by people.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Vic did not go out again until the old man sent someone to notify him to set sail.
Vic had thought that the old man would spar with him during his stay at headquarters, but he didn't. It wasn't until he received the old man's departure notice that he realized the old man was busy preparing for his departure and didn't have time to beat him up.
But things were different once they were on the warship. The old man had plenty of time for leisure. Vic felt a slight headache coming on, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time. He thought it was because his Observation Haki had broken through to the point of being able to Future Sight.
After setting sail, he realized that the old man's Armament Haki was too strong, and his punches were too painful. Even with his Armament Haki training for so many years, he couldn't withstand it at all. The power of decades of skill in one punch was no joke.
Vic had thought his Armament Haki was still quite good, and he had been able to hold his own against Zephyr before, but after actually facing the old man, he realized how much the old man had been holding back in their previous battles.
It's no wonder Akainu got beaten up. The old man's Armament Haki is much stronger than Zephyr's. It's not a difference in the amount of Haki they have, but rather the total amount of Haki they can mobilize with each attack. That's the difference between talent and willpower.
Vic finally understood what Zephyr meant when he said he was jealous of the old man. The Monkey Family is truly terrifying. To put it jokingly, whether the pirate world is chaotic or not is up to the Monkey Family.
During the voyage, Vic felt like he was back in the days when he was brutally beaten by Zephyr in the Elite Camp. He thought he had stood up again, but in the end, he was still a pushover.
As a result, Vic's relaxed state of mind became tense again. While the warship was sailing, Vic practiced frantically, recklessly striking himself with Void Lightning, leaving the others speechless.
Because once they reach the shore, it will be time for him to get beaten up. The old man has quite a few tricks up his sleeve, and he always manages to surprise (or frighten) Vic. Rebecca is heartbroken watching this. Trying to coax the old man is useless, and even trying to coax Ain along with him is useless.
The old man just laughed heartily and said only one thing, "I'm doing this for Vic's own good. You'll see later."
Vic was somewhat exasperated and asked the old man if he had any tricks up his sleeve. He suggested the old man use them all at once, as he always managed to surprise him. He thought the old man had run out of tricks up his sleeve, but there were even more terrifying ones waiting for him.
"Does the old man have to tell you about his heaven-sent punch? That's for fighting Roger and Whitebeard. You can't handle it right now. I'll show it to you another time. "Vic was somewhat familiar with these words, but the old man would never use that move on Vic. Vic was indeed having a hard time withstanding it right now.
After being beaten, Vic did indeed feel the difference; during this period, the growth of his Armament Haki was greater than the natural growth of his body's proficiency.
He now vaguely understands that Armament Haki also has stages. The first stage is Awakening, and after Awakening, it is about continuous use to increase and accumulate, thereby increasing the amount of Haki.
When the amount of Haki reaches its limit, the competition then becomes about the total amount of Haki mobilized. The strength of the power depends on the total amount of Armament Haki mobilized. These processes alone can categorize people into different levels.
Some people never Awakening Armament Haki before they die, while others never achieve Haki in their Haki. The degree of perfection varies from person to person and is largely related to talent.
Some people, even if they unleash their Haki in a single strike, can't muster much of it; although they can sustain it longer, the power is generally limited.
Some people, however, can unleash their full Haki of Haki in a single move. How many people could withstand such a strike? The old man has mastered Armament Haki perfectly; he can produce as much as he wants. In any case, if you're strong, I'm even stronger. Don't even think about my limits right now. Just relax and get beaten up; it'll be good for you.
Originally, during the voyage, Vic had planned to use his Ryuo to help Rebecca Awakening her Armament Haki, but unexpectedly, Rebecca had already Awakening on her own during the months Vic was away from the warship!
Vic remarked that Rebecca had grown up; it was quite remarkable that she hadn't told him about such a big thing right away, and that she had managed to keep it to herself for so long.
Then Rebecca told him some more good news: Barnett had also Awakening Observation Haki, which really surprised Vic. He hadn't expected that his absence would bring such benefits.
Or was it Wendy's situation that spurred them on? Vic asked and learned that it was mainly because Barnett and Frodeku had been working together more, Barnett had gradually grasped the subtle feeling of using Observation Haki.
After several attempts, he Awakening his Observation Haki during a battle. Only then did Vic realize that this was how Observation Haki, which explained why he hadn't been able to find a method before.
It's a pity that his Observation Haki hasn't reached the level of foreseeing the future yet. However, his small team has all Awakening their Observation Haki Observation Haki, so he basically doesn't need it anymore. Ain is still young, so there's no rush. He doesn't believe that Ain won't be able to Future Sight by the time he grows up.
