"The old man's judgment is truly sharp! This attack is indeed a form of light, something I devised using my lightning abilities."

But I won't go into the details, because you wouldn't understand anyway. Just know that I can launch such attacks with ease, as long as my lightning abilities are still usable, and the power can naturally be adjusted using lightning powers!

Vic didn't want to waste his breath explaining physics to them; it would be pointless. He just needed to know that it was driven by the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"Hmph! You're clearly implying we're not smart enough. How would we know if you don't tell us? We only know whether we know or not if you tell us!"

Rebecca was annoyed when she saw that Vic didn't want to talk. It was clearly a way of saying that everyone in the room was brainless and should go play somewhere else!

"Alright! You've even given me a tongue twister. All I can tell you is that the attack is called a laser. Figure out the rest yourselves!"

After Vic finished speaking, he pointed to the reef again, but this time the ball of light was larger, and the beam of light that shot out was two meters in diameter, instantly creating a large hole in the reef!

This time the opening was larger, and they could see it much more clearly. The cave was filled with flowing lava that shimmered with red light. The cavity was formed by the reef being instantly melted and evaporated by the ultra-high temperature of the laser!

The lava was created by the high temperature of the laser reflecting off the edges of the cavity, causing the reef to melt. The laser beam wasn't necessarily more powerful the larger it was; Vic simply used it this way to make it clearer for them.

The laser idea was something Vic only recently came up with. Before his transmigration, he had graduated with a degree in applied physics, and he had already learned the principles of lasers long ago, but he only recently thought of it.

His Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability is the energy source for lasers, and he understands the principle of laser emission, so he quickly developed this laser technique.

The principle of lasers is very simple. It is to apply energy (electrical energy) to the electrons outside the nucleus of atoms. The electrons that absorb energy will break away from their original orbits and jump to a place farther away from the atomic nucleus, which increases the potential energy of the electrons outside the nucleus.

However, this transition is unstable. Eventually, the electron will return to its original stable state. But during this process, the photon will stay in the middle position. When it stays there, the electron will release a photon and then return to its original stable state.

This photon then enters a neighboring atom and strikes the outer electron of that atom. The electron, having absorbed energy, instantly releases a photon of the same frequency. This process is repeated, much like the principle of an atomic bomb, with the number of photons increasing exponentially.

Finally, a beam of energy will be formed. The amount of energy in the beam is closely related to the frequency of the photons, and the most effective tool to increase the frequency is electrical energy!

Such a simple principle, but applying it to reality is not so simple. Although all the countries before Vic's time travel knew the principle of lasers, only one or two had actually applied it, and the power of those applications was rather underwhelming.

But Vic is different. Electricity is his forte, and the holes in the reef were caused by the high temperature of the laser. Theoretically speaking, the temperature of the laser can reach more than 100 million degrees Celsius, which is many times higher than the temperature of the sun's surface!

Keep in mind that the surface temperature of the sun is only a little over 5,000 degrees Celsius, and even the hottest part of the sun's core is only around 20 million degrees Celsius. You can imagine how terrifying a laser could be!

Although the laser Vic is currently using doesn't reach hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, it can easily evaporate and melt stone. Such an attack is far more terrifying than Akainu's magma. Therefore, the combination of Logia abilities and scientific development is the most frightening thing!

Vic simply combined a physics principle from his previous life with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power to create a technique that rivals the Magma-Magma Fruit's most powerful attack, and this technique is even more powerful than the Magma-Magma Fruit's techniques!

Traditional lasers require the use of machinery to manufacture, but Vic's lightning ability doesn't require such complicated procedures. He only needs to use the power of lightning to excite the outer electrons of atoms in the air. Air is also composed of various molecules and atoms, which provides the basic conditions for the birth of lasers.

Therefore, Vic can fire lasers with just a flick of his finger. As long as he has enough stamina and the energy of lightning, the lasers he fires are enough to wage a major war. Coupled with the extremely high temperature that evaporates the gold and stone, destroying an island is a piece of cake. It is no exaggeration to call him a human-shaped Buster Call!

With such high temperatures, even Vic wasn't sure if his Armament Haki could withstand it. Since the warship was full of his own people, he hadn't tested it, fearing he might hurt them.

Rebecca and the others, seeing the lava flowing inside the cave, understood the general principle behind the attack. Although they were surprised to see the lava, they could still accept it, having witnessed the battle between Akainu and Vic. However, the thought that the missing part of the reef had been directly annihilated by the super high temperature sent a chill down their spines.

At first, they didn't think much of it, assuming it was just some kind of lightning attack. However, ordinary lightning attacks could only shatter the reef, and they had never seen a powerful attack like " Raigo " that could annihilate matter. Vic had never used it before.

That's a powerful move that requires a long time to build up. Although it's incredibly strong and has a wide attack range, it's not practical in battles between equally powerful opponents, as they won't wait for you to charge up.

This is the real world. There's no rule that enemies can't attack while you're charging up a powerful attack. If an enemy doesn't kill you while you're standing still, then they must be out of their mind.

Although Vic is much stronger Enel and can use " Raigo " for a shorter time, in the eyes of a strong person of the same level, it is no different from standing still. Therefore, Vic has never used this extremely energy-consuming and powerful Raigo his enemies.

Even when he almost died facing the Golden Lion last time, he couldn't use it. It wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but that he simply didn't have the opportunity to unleash it. Perhaps only Rumble-Rumble Fruit to the Awakening can he use it instantly. Only then will the Raigo Fruit have a place to be used. Those who use the Raigo to attack before Awakening are mostly vicious and ruthless pirates who are lawless, wantonly destroy, and despise living beings!

"What a terrifying move!"

Garp was secretly alarmed, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead. Although Garp had some guesses about Vic's first attack, he couldn't be sure, because an attack that is fast enough can also generate high temperature or flames. Vic's laser was of this kind, so it was understandable that some lava would appear.
