Having just enjoyed a delicious meal from Vic yesterday, Smoker had no choice but to recount everything that Teacher Zephyr had taught him.
" Tekkai - With unwavering self-confidence, incredible power will emerge within the body. By harnessing this power, one can withstand any attack."
"Shave—by rapidly stomping the ground more than ten times within 0.36 seconds, the powerful reaction force will unleash a speed akin to teleportation."
" Kami-e – the body moves with the mind, sensing space, relaxing the body, feeling the flow of air, and reacting to attacks in a very short time."
" Shigan —have unwavering faith in your own fingers; they can pierce through any obstacle and dispel all confusion."
" Geppo - is an advanced application of the Six Powers of Shave, requiring a faster speed to step on the air and use the reaction force to leap through the air."
" Rankyaku - A lightning-fast kick that cuts through the air in front of you, guiding the air following behind your leg to form a wind blade that shoots into the shattered air and strikes the target."
"That's what Teacher Zephyr taught us," Smoker reassured him, still not believing Vic could learn it on his own.
"Is that all? You didn't miss anything, did you? I feel like a few of them aren't too difficult, like 'Shave' and ' Geppo.' Aren't they easy to learn once you reach the right speed and know the techniques?"
Vic wanted to reveal his "Shave" and " Geppo " skills to Smoker, to make them public, so that these two skills would have a basis in reality.
After saying that, he immediately used Shave. He didn't use his fastest speed to execute it, but it was still incredibly fast, and he flashed around Smoker everywhere.
Smoker stared in disbelief. "Are you even human? You learned it just like that? Are you trying to kill us?"
Vic stopped in front of Smoker after performing the move for a while, without blushing, out of breath, or changing his expression at all, as if he hadn't moved at all.
" Smoker, how do you think I did it? No mistakes, right?" Vic asked with a smile, a playful look on his face.
"You're not kidding me, are you? Did you learn this on Vice Admiral Garp's ship and then come here to play me?" Smoker asked suspiciously.
"How could that be? I wasn't even officially a member of the Navy back then, you think old man Garp would teach me?" Vic said disdainfully.
Garp is a man of principle. He can teach Haki (by beating people into it), but he will never teach the Six Powers, even though many people on the high seas know them. That's his principle.
Smoker thought about it and realized it made sense. He looked at Vic with increasing curiosity. This guy's talent was too good. A year ago, he was just an ordinary person, and Vic was not even fifteen years old. Vic was already so strong back then, and he didn't have a teacher. He was all self-taught. This was definitely protagonist treatment!
Smoker was incredibly envious and wanted to beat up Vic, but he knew he couldn't win right now, even though he had Logia Devil Fruit.
Then, while Smoker stared blankly, Vic began his aerial walk, the loud bangs attracting the attention of many.
When they saw that it was Vic, who had only arrived at the Recruit Camp yesterday, they were shocked. This guy had already learned Geppo? Could it be that he wasn't a monster in disguise? They now completely believed Smoker's words; this guy was too strong, and they absolutely couldn't mess with him.
"Alright, Smoker, I won't bother you anymore. Knowing the trick is enough. I'm going back to practice on my own."
Seeing that he had attracted the attention of others, Vic stopped using Geppo, returned to his original spot, waved to Smoker, and then walked outside.
Vic hadn't gone far when a loud shout rang out, the voice strong, confident, and authoritative.
Who knocked out the guard at the training camp gate?
Vic looked toward the source of the voice. The newcomer had purple hair, a resolute face, was about three meters tall, and had a strong, muscular physique. He was wearing a navy uniform and a Justice Cloak draped over his back. It was Zephyr, who was looking at Vic.
Zephyr went out to a meeting this morning. When he came back, he saw two guards lying at the entrance of the Elite Camp. He thought something had happened to the Elite Camp, so he quickly used his Observation Haki to scan it. There was nothing wrong with the Elite Camp, but he did find an unfamiliar aura using Geppo. Then came the scene of someone entering the door and loudly questioning him.
At this moment, Zephyr was looking at Vic. Vic didn't seem afraid. He came to the Elite Camp because Zephyr was one of his targets. He still wanted to learn Armament Haki in advance.
"Instructor Zephyr, my name is Vic, Orens Vic. I'm a new recruit who came to headquarters yesterday. I knocked those two out of the way," Vic said calmly. He wasn't particularly excited because he was a former Admiral. Seeing Zephyr, he just felt a different kind of emotion.
"Oh, so you're the one Garp brought to headquarters? You certainly have some guts. Can you tell me why you knocked them out?"
Zephyr smiled. He had attended a meeting today and heard Garp mention the new recruit, Vic, praising Vic highly and saying he had the potential to become Admiral. Zephyr had become very interested in Vic; he liked promising juniors.
"I came to the Elite Camp to see Instructor Zephyr, but these two guys said I wasn't from the Elite Camp and wouldn't let me in. So I showed them my strength, and well, they couldn't withstand it. I got into the Elite Camp with my strength," Vic replied helplessly, spreading his hands.
"Haha, you think you're strong enough to get into the Elite Camp? It's not just about knocking them both out; you have to defeat them!"
Zephyr pointed to the Elite Camp students around him and said with a smile that he wanted to see how strong Vic really was. Although his aura was good, he still wanted to see for himself.
"What a hassle. I just came to learn some Armament Haki from you beforehand. Fine, let them all come at me!" Vic picked at his ear with his little finger and said nonchalantly, wanting to show off his training value to Zephyr.
Zephyr's eyes lit up when he heard Vic's words. His original intention was just to find a few people to gang up on him and see how it went, but he didn't expect this kid to be so ruthless to him. Now it was just a matter of whether he had the strength to back up his arrogance.
The surrounding trainees were indignant. This was too arrogant! They didn't take them seriously at all. After all, they were Elite Camp that had surpassed most people to get in!
This was too embarrassing. They all gathered around, some even bringing their favorite weapons. Smoker and Hina also came over; after all, they were also part of the Elite Camp.
"Hahaha, alright then, I'll see what makes you so capable of spouting such boastful words. Everyone, charge at him!"
Zephyr was a little excited. He pointed at Vic, signaling all the trainees to begin their attack.
In all his years as an instructor, Zephyr has never seen anyone dare to challenge all of his classmates during their training camp days—not even Akainu Kizaru, Aokiji, Chaton, or Momousagi.
Although the top three possessed Logia Devil Fruit, they still couldn't do it. At that time, their fruit development wasn't as advanced, and their stamina couldn't sustain them for long battles. The other Elite Camp the camp were also extraordinary, so Zephyr wanted to see just how capable this Vic was.
Upon seeing the instructor's signal, the trainees immediately rushed towards Vic; they had been itching to punch him for a long time.
Vic did not launch an attack; he activated his Observation Haki and dodged everyone's attacks.
In reality, only a few people could attack simultaneously. Since they were all clustered together, not many could launch an attack. Therefore, given Vic's speed, no one could hit him. He anticipated their attacks, and no one could move faster than him, so they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
Zephyr could tell that this kid Awakening Observation Haki Haki, and his skill was quite high; he wasn't just a Awakening newbie. No wonder he said he came to learn Armament Haki from him.
With such speed and Observation Haki, he could indeed be invincible in the Elite Camp. Now it all depends on his stamina and whether he can handle so many people.
The attacking students were also shocked. So many people attacking together, yet they couldn't even touch a hair. This guy certainly had the right to be arrogant. Even those who used Devil Fruit abilities couldn't do anything to him.
After all, there aren't that many offensive Logia abilities, Smoker's Smoke-Smoke Fruit isn't exactly offensive either, which Vic was able to dodge.
Each Elite Camp doesn't have that many Devil Fruit User, otherwise the Navy would be overflowing with them. Even the Marine Vice Admiral have very few Devil Fruit users, which speaks volumes.
Vic yielded for a quarter of an hour, but still no one could hit him. Smoker released a large amount of smoke, blinding everyone. Vic knew where his true form was, yet he couldn't hit Vic and even caused trouble for the others. It was unclear whether he was there to attack Vic or help Vic.
"Now it's my turn!" Vic used Geppo to avoid the crowd and retreat to an open area before speaking.
The moment he spoke, two knives were already drawn, flashing with cold light. Several students who rushed in front of him were struck repeatedly, each bearing a red slap mark on their face.
Before they could even figure out which move to use to attack, he had already been sent flying. They were all stunned; it was too fast! They would respectfully call Vic "Fast Man," the very serious kind!
