After pinning Lei Hu down, Lei Hu lunged at Garp beneath him. Garp, no pushover, unleashed his Armament Haki, sending Lei Hu flying. The blasted Lei Hu vanished into thin air as if it had lost its energy.
Seeing that the thunder tiger had dissipated, Vic quickly tapped the Thunder Drum on his back, and four thick bolts of Inazuma shot directly into the sky.
After that, Vic ignored the Inazuma and pointed his Divine Staff at Garp. A bolt of lightning wrapped in black light struck Garp directly in the chest, sending him flying.
This attack was no ordinary attack. Although Garp used Armament Haki to defend himself, the lightning still penetrated his body. Even someone as strong as Garp was lying on the ground trembling all over, his hair sticking together and standing up for a long time.
This is the Chaos Lightning developed by Vic. Of course, these lightning bolts, which contain the primordial substances of the world, can only be unleashed with the aid of Divine Staff.
Vic's inspiration comes from fantasy novels from his previous life, as well as the Five Elements, Purple Cloud, Yin and Yang, etc. This kind of attack, which contains the world's primordial substances, can penetrate the Haki defense.
Although most of its power will be neutralized by Haki, it will still have an effect. This is no longer entirely Devil Fruit ability, and Haki can hardly completely suppress it.
" Vic! You're such a thunderbolt...!"
Garp never expected that even his Haki couldn't stop Vic's lightning; he had never encountered a situation where Haki couldn't stop an ability before.
Akainu was still being beaten down by him, and Aokiji could only freeze the surface of his body but could not penetrate into his body. Apart from feeling a little cold, he was not harmed.
While Garp also had the idea that Haki could counter Devil Fruit abilities, he wasn't as absolute Kaido. There was a trade-off between Haki and Devil Fruit abilities; it all depended on whether Haki was stronger or the Devil Fruit was more developed.
However, Garp was still very confident in his own Haki, but he was still trembling from the electric shock for a long time before he could stand up from the ground. How long had it been since Vic got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? He had already developed the ability to hurt Garp, which surprised Garp. It seemed that this fruit was made specifically for Vic.
"This is no ordinary lightning strike; the old man needs to be careful!"
Vic replied with a smile, and at that moment the sky darkened once more, causing the faces of everyone on the island to change. Was the Aqua Laguna going to come again this year? Buy one get one free?
The sky was clear just a moment ago, which made many people stop what they were doing, look up at the sky and wait for something. They were waiting for wind and rain. If either of these things happened, they would immediately abandon their work and go home to take refuge.
Vic's performance not only astonished the residents of Water 7, but even Rebecca and the others were somewhat incredulous, since Vic had previously been knocked unconscious and carried back by the old man.
Now he can actually fight the old man to a standstill? Has he gotten stronger again? Or is the old man holding back? Or did he just get careless?
They were somewhat confused and could only continue watching. They would only be able to know the outcome. Little did they know that Vic had been holding back in the previous battles, and many of his moves were ones he hadn't used before.
He only uses these old tricks when he has new ones. You might think his current moves are impressive, but there are even more powerful ones to come. When you encounter someone who is arrogant, you must teach them why blood is so red. This is the wisdom Vic learned in his previous life.
While the old man was being electrocuted and speaking, the thunderclouds that Vic was gathering to fly into the sky had already taken shape.
By using Vic's lightning abilities, he could conserve more energy. He planned to give the old man a lightning tribulation so that the old man could reach a higher level after the tribulation.
Of course, this was just Vic's imagination. There is no such thing as tribulation in this world. He just wanted the old man to experience what it was like to undergo tribulation.
Vic dodged and created more distance between himself and Garp. Now that he was a lightning mage, he didn't need to fight in melee combat anymore, and getting too close to Garp was not a wise choice.
This time, Vic didn't choose to unleash the lightning directly, as that wouldn't be very effective and would quickly deplete the thunderclouds in the sky. So, Vic decided to kite Garp and Haki first, since the final battle wasn't yet upon him.
The moment Vic stepped back and stood still, a white Inazuma as thick as an arm struck down from the sky. Although the speed of Inazuma is not as fast as the speed of light, it is not far off. This world also follows the principle that speed cannot exceed the speed of light, so the speed of the lightning attack is close to the limit.
Garp had barely stood up when the attack came. He hadn't even had time to activate his Observation Haki yet, but he still sensed the danger. If he couldn't move in advance, his speed would definitely be slower than Inazuma.
He could only try to move and dodge while covering his entire body with Armament Haki. While partial Armament Haki could counter Vic's swordsmanship, it couldn't stop Vic's lightning. This could be considered a way for Vic to deplete Garp's Haki. If my Haki is inferior to yours, I can at least wear you down before I fight.
Garp had just stomped his foot on the ground, preparing to use the Six Powers Shave to get away from where he was standing, when he was struck solidly by Inazuma.
However, Garp's ability to manipulate Armament Haki is truly strong. He instantly covered his entire body with Armament Haki, and a wisp of blue smoke rose as Inazuma struck his body.
Garp was unharmed due to the protection of Armament Haki. At this point, he had fully unleashed his Observation Haki. Inazuma needs to be targeted before it strikes, and dodging in advance eliminates the need to rely on Armament Haki to withstand it.
Garp didn't want to constantly use Armament Haki to resist, as constantly covering his entire body with Armament Haki would be quite taxing, and top-tier warriors wouldn't do that.
Vic was able to do this because he had a way out. Even if he ran out of Haki, he wasn't afraid. With the Geppo Speed-Speed Fruit powers, he could still escape to the ends of the earth.
Therefore, the faster Haki is consumed, the better, so that Haki can be improved faster. When Vic's dual-color Haki reaches a certain level, he will no longer cover his entire body with Armament Haki, but will use Haki more rationally and economically. At that time, he can still fight for more than ten days and ten nights.
Sure enough, he was far away from there before the second Inazuma struck Garp. The Inazuma struck the spot where Garp had just been standing, creating a large crater, and debris from the wrecked ship and rocks flew everywhere!
Having regained his footing, Garp had shed all his Haki. Now, he was using Advanced Observation Haki and no longer needed to hastily use Armament Haki to withstand the attack.
Just as Garp stood still, he moved away again, and a bolt of lightning struck the spot. Vic also possessed Observation Haki, though not quite at the level of Future Sight, but he could still foresee Garp's next position after moving. However, he was still a bit inexperienced compared to Garp.
