At this stage, Bullet cannot materialize his mental power, meaning his Conqueror's Haki cannot cause any substantial damage.
This was evident during the Stampede. When Bullet unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, a substance resembling raindrops hit everyone, but no one paid any attention, not even flinching.
In other words, he cannot Conqueror's Haki Coating without someone's guidance. However, if one day Bullet's Conqueror's Haki becomes stronger and causes substantial damage to the surrounding environment, he will be able to figure out how to imbue himself with Conqueror's Haki Coating if he observes carefully.
Conqueror's Haki alone can cause destruction when released. Anyone with a little understanding can associate Armament Haki with the concept of " Conqueror's Coating".
Bullet's Conqueror's Haki hasn't reached that level yet. Right now, it's only useful for intimidating weak-willed people, who are likely not strong enough in combat either and can be taken down by other means. So at this point, Conqueror's Haki is only useful for clearing out small fry!
Seeing that he had already taken down all the Marines he could with Conqueror's Haki, and that continuing to use it on those he couldn't would also leave him helpless, Bullet withdrew his Conqueror's Haki. It was better to strike first than to lose, and more importantly, to put greater psychological pressure on the enemy.
"Is it over? My turn!"
Seeing Bullet withdraw his Conqueror's Haki, Vic snapped his fingers with his right hand. The crisp sound was particularly loud in the silence that followed the Conqueror's Haki baptism.
Only Garp and Bullet sensed that the surrounding air seemed different, but they weren't sure what the change was.
However, the unclear details did not affect the outcome of the snap. Bullet's henchmen fell one after another, leaving only a few standing, their faces pale and filled with lingering fear as they stared at Vic. These were all experts in both types of Haki, who had foreseen the danger, but they still almost fell victim to it.
"You have Conqueror's Haki? No! This isn't Conqueror's Haki! What kind of technique is this?"
Bullet's expression changed. He turned to look at his fallen underlings. At first, he genuinely thought it was Conqueror's Haki's Conqueror's Haki, because it had a similar effect.
However, he quickly realized that he hadn't sensed any Conqueror's Haki being released by Vic. It was just that Vic had used a method he didn't know to achieve the same effect as Conqueror's Haki. His subordinates hadn't died; they had all just fainted.
"That's right! I don't have Conqueror's Haki, but I have my own methods. Consider this a return gift to you!"
Vic said calmly that he was actually using the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which was recently developed to target the bioelectricity inside the human body. This kind of discharge does not actually need to touch others; it can be transmitted through the air. He was just putting his hands on Gion and Rebecca's heads as a formality.
Applying bioelectricity to certain nodes in the nervous system can induce unconsciousness; there are quite a few acute illnesses that can cause unconsciousness.
Electrical signals can even control the contraction of blood vessels in the brain, causing blockages and leading to brain death. It's incredibly easy to kill someone by controlling the electrical signals between neurons from within the body. There are many quick ways to cause cardiac arrest, brain death, pulmonary embolism, and massive hemorrhage, but the final results are always the same!
These are basically the reasons why people die in a short period of time due to accidents, but Vic didn't let these pirates die.
Of course, there are also many chronic diseases that can lead to death, which can also cause illness by controlling the body's electrical signals. As long as you understand the mechanism of the disease, you can do the opposite.
Vic's Dimensional Space contains a large number of medical books plundered from the Drum Kingdom. He can treat any disease that is not caused by external bacteria and viruses. Of course, this is relative. With this ability, Vic can also become the best doctor, masseur, plastic surgeon, nutritionist, etc.
The pirates who didn't fall were those who sensed something was wrong with their Observation Haki and hurriedly used Armament Haki to defend themselves, thus avoiding being taken down.
Those who sensed the attack with Observation Haki but didn't have time to use Armament Haki also fell down. In the end, Vic's ability is still a Devil Fruit ability, and as long as it's a Devil Fruit ability, it can be countered by Armament Haki. It all comes down to whether the ability or Haki is stronger.
However, the electricity released by Vic is very weak and easier to defend against. If it were strong, it would be difficult to manipulate it precisely within the human body. So, it's a trade-off.
" Vic! How did you do that? You knocked them out with a snap of your fingers? That's amazing!"
Rebecca looked on with admiration. She hadn't sensed anything, yet most of the enemies had fallen. She had indeed sensed Bullet's Conqueror's Haki. The others were also curious about Rebecca's question, since it was Vic's first time using it.
"Nothing special, didn't you already experience that yesterday? I just did it in a different way."
Vic said nonchalantly, Rebecca Satori after hearing it, Gion blushed after hearing it, while the others were still a little confused, but had a feeling of awe and wonder.
"Enough with the nonsense! It's getting dark, and my opponent is Garp. Let's finish this quickly!"
Bullet wasn't too bothered by Vic's methods. Although Vic hadn't used his powers on him, several of his underlings had survived, so he didn't care. He just wanted to beat Vic down first before having a fight with Garp.
Bullet was a decisive man, and he didn't waste any words. He stomped his feet hard on the ground, creating a large crater, and charged towards Vic like a cannonball.
The two were only about fifty meters apart, so it would take them a long time to get to Vic in the blink of an eye. A fist bigger than Vic's head slammed into Vic!
Many people didn't react to this punch. Although Garp had been on guard against Bullet and had seen the move, he didn't warn Vic.
Vic was, of course, on guard against Bullet, but Bullet's speed exceeded his expectations, Vic could only hurriedly cross his arms in front of him to block.
It was only then that Vic remembered that Bullet had been charging around in Stampede, taking down Supernovas with a single punch; no one could stop him, and he certainly had some speed to his name.
Bullet's attack was somewhat of a probing strike, without imbuing it with Haki. Vic, caught off guard, didn't have time to use Haki either, and the two collided.
Vic was sent flying by the punch. A loud bang was heard only after Vic had flown a long way. It was the sonic boom produced by the collision between the two. The speed at which the sonic boom traveled was not even as fast as the speed at which Vic flew away. The power of Bullet's punch had exceeded that of many people's attacks wrapped in Haki.
