With a smile, Vic said, "There's nothing special about the Entangling Mind Power technique. It was originally developed to resist the Conqueror's Coating and is a passive skill."
Even if he actively displayed the power of his Mind Power Coating, it wouldn't reveal any significant strength, and the few black Inazuma that emerged wouldn't prove anything either. So he could only remain vague. Fortunately, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability had recently developed a new, extremely powerful technique, which would be perfect for them to witness.
"Ah! Can't I watch?" Rebecca was very disappointed. She wanted to see if she could learn such a powerful move. However, what she didn't know was that without Awakening Mind Power, watching would be pointless, and she would never be able to learn it. Vic, on the other hand, knew this clearly.
"Then unleash your new technique and let's see how powerful it is!"
Wendy at the slightly disappointed Rebecca. She knew Vic must have his reasons for saying that. She trusted Vic unconditionally, as long as Vic had a way to resist the Conqueror's Coating technique, that was enough. If the old man said so, it couldn't be wrong.
"Haha, next time when Grandpa and I spar, you'll all be able to watch. You'll see it then, no rush!"
Seeing Rebecca looking a little aggrieved, Vic rubbed her head and comforted her, saying that the old man was afraid they wouldn't be able to handle his intense Conqueror's Haki and might develop psychological problems, so he hadn't allowed them to get close.
However, Vic felt that strong people had to go through these things. Besides, Rebecca and the others were already quite strong and were about to go to the New World, where there might be quite a few people with Conqueror's Haki. It was necessary to get used to it in advance. If they made a rash contact with it, they might just faint on the battlefield. Being intimidated by the old man's Conqueror's Haki now meant that their lives were not in danger.
"Hmm!" Hearing Vic's words, Rebecca's mood immediately brightened; little girls are so easy to please.
"Look over there!"
Vic stretched out his right hand, pointing his index finger to a prominent reef on the edge of the island. From the warship, the reef was about the size of an ordinary sailboat, but that was because the reef was some distance away from the warship. Those of them who had lived on warships for a long time could judge the size of things by distance, so they knew exactly how big the reef was. It was probably about half the size of the Dog-Head Warship.
Rebecca and the others looked in the direction Vic was pointing and knew that the reef was Vic's target. The old man also looked over with interest, but his hand kept grabbing rice crackers. He treated Vic's act as a performance, with snacks still in his hand.
Just as their gazes were fixed on the reef, Vic's outstretched index finger flickered with electricity a few times, and then a pale blue ball of light, about the size of a soccer ball, appeared at his fingertip. A beam of pale blue light shot out from the ball and struck the reef they were looking at.
There was no sound, no explosion, only a small, bright hole appearing in the middle of the reef. From the warship, one could see the blue seawater on the other side of the reef. From the appearance of the electric arc to the formation of the light sphere, and finally the emission of blue light, it seemed to take several steps, but in fact, the reef was penetrated in an instant, much like one of Kizaru's techniques.
"I remember that rock was over ten meters thick, right? What if that lightning struck someone? Hiss..."
Barnett gasped. Although the old man had told them not to approach the center of the island, he still scouted the area near the warship. After all, they had just been captured by pirates and learned their lesson, so they were much more cautious now.
So he had been to that reef before, and now he was really shocked to see such a thick piece of reef being instantly pierced by Vic. You have to know that this reef has stood firm against the erosion of the waves of the sea. Barnett imagined in his mind what the result would be if this attack hit a person. There would probably be a big hole, and even with Armament Haki, it is not certain that it could be blocked!
"That wasn't lightning! It looks a bit like Borsalino's attack, but the result doesn't quite match. Is this also a power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
Garp, with his greater knowledge, realized that what Vic was releasing from his fingertips was no longer lightning, but rather resembled Kizaru's laser beam. However, while Kizaru's laser could cause an explosion, Vic's blue beam simply penetrated the object, leaving a hole slightly larger than the beam itself.
Furthermore, the edges of the hole looked as if they had been scorched by high temperatures, and red-hot lava was flowing from the entrance. However, Kizaru also has techniques that allow light to penetrate objects directly, so Garp wasn't entirely sure. But a beam of light that could turn rocks into lava must have an extremely high temperature, making it quite different.
" Vic! Your new move is amazing, so fast! How can anyone dodge that!"
Although Rebecca hadn't been to the reef, she had already heard Barnett mention it. What she was most concerned about was the speed at which Vic pointed his finger—it was too fast. She knew she couldn't dodge Vic's move; it wasn't just a matter of how many times the speed of sound it was. In such a short time, she probably wouldn't even be able to use Armament Haki Hardening. She had no idea how fast the speed of light was; the concept of the speed of light didn't exist in this world.
"Yes! It's fast and efficient; you could call that a trump card!"
Wendy couldn't help but marvel; this was sharper than many swordsmen's Flying Slash, though its speed far surpassed that of Flying Slash.
Her understanding was still limited; she didn't know how the hole slightly larger than a soccer ball on the reef was formed. However, she knew that it wasn't that Vic's beam of light could only penetrate a reef that was a dozen meters thick, but rather that the reef was only a dozen meters thick and couldn't fully test the power of his attack. Moreover, this might be because Vic had held back; she knew that Vic liked to keep some backup plans and wouldn't use them unless it was a life-or-death situation.
Even if you can see the future, you can't change it! Terrifying! Terrifying!...
Frodeku muttered to himself. Just as Vic was about to demonstrate this move, he used his Observation Haki to foresee the Future Sight, wanting to see it as soon as possible. However, the image that appeared in his mind was so fast that it completely captured the point of impact of the attack!
This is unprecedented. You see, the effect of Observation Haki can slow down the superhuman speed that blinds others. For example, a move like the Six Powers Shave is no different from walking normally in the perception of Observation Haki.
Moreover, given his Observation Haki Haki's ability to Future Sight, the effect of slowing down his speed would only be more abnormal. Yet, even with such Observation Haki, he still couldn't detect Vic's attack. Every moment of his perception fell behind Vic's attack. Such an attack was truly terrifying, causing Frodeku to momentarily lose his composure.
