Before his Haki was almost exhausted, Vic finally stepped out of the blue lightning zone. As Vic had expected, there was a lightning-free zone about a meter wide outside the blue zone.
Vic sat cross-legged and took out cooked food made from Sea Kings from his Dimensional Space and began to eat. His Haki was almost exhausted and he needed to replenish more energy to restore Haki.
Vic entered the island with full Haki this time, and he almost exhausted it in less than half an hour, much faster than Rebecca and the others used Haki to attack him.
With Vic's current Haki reserves, natural consumption is no longer useful, as it can't even keep up with his body's natural regeneration. Under these circumstances, the Haki boost he receives is only slightly stronger than when he doesn't use Haki.
Despite Rebecca and her team's relentless attacks, Vic was able to hold out for a few days, though his Armament Haki improved even faster during the attacks.
However, in today's blue Inazuma, Vic seemed to have returned to the feeling he had when he first used the Divine Staff. His Haki was consumed extremely quickly, and he could clearly feel the increase in his Haki.
It's like Vic is fighting a user with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The opponent is constantly attacking you with powerful lightning attacks, and you can't dodge them. You're getting hit all the time. This kind of continuous output is much stronger than the attacks with Haki that Rebecca and the others use. So Vic's Armament Haki is improved even more.
It's only because the area of blue Inazuma is only two kilometers away, otherwise Vic wouldn't have been able to get here even with his Armament Haki; he would have had to rely on elemental transformation to avoid the lightning.
While eating, Vic kept his eyes fixed on the purple Raiu ahead. If the lightning in the blue area was light rain, then the purple lightning ahead was moderate rain.
The lightning strikes in the same area are more concentrated and the sense of oppression is stronger, making people mistake it for a lair of thunder beasts, where entering would mean facing countless thunder beasts tearing and devouring them.
"This is indeed a good place to cultivate Haki, but it is only suitable for the strong, especially those who have eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
Even Kaido can only get this far at most. Once he recovers, he might be able to hold out for a while longer.
But by then, he might not be able to hold out until the next lightning-free zone, and it would be difficult for him to return to this place. He might even get stuck in the middle, his Haki exhausted, and be struck dead. What good is his strong physical defense if lightning isn't a physical attack?
But I can use elemental transformation to go even deeper. When my Haki recovers, I'll use it to defend Haki; when my Haki is depleted, I'll use elemental transformation to evade. This place is definitely a paradise for Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit -Rumble Fruit!
"The white lightning zone is about five kilometers wide, the blue zone is about two kilometers wide, and I don't know how wide the purple lightning zone ahead is. Judging from the pattern, it should decrease in width, but the power of the lightning is getting stronger and stronger. I wonder if my Haki defense at its peak can pass through it in one go!"
As Vic ate his meat, he regained his Haki. Looking at the purple Raiu ahead, he pondered that he was now somewhat regretful, feeling that he had wasted a lot of time. He wished he had come to Raijin Island sooner.
He had memorized the name of the island when he first heard it, but he thought it was just a place that wouldn't run away and that he would definitely go there when he had free time, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Little did he know that Raijin Island was a hidden paradise! Cultivating Haki here was simply too awesome!
"How come the Haki recovered so quickly this time? Is it the meat? No! It's not the meat! Something's different here. Could it be that the continuous lightning has attracted more wandering Primal Spirit? This..."
Vic exclaimed in amazement at the speed at which his domineering Haki was recovering. This place had truly surprised him time and time again. It wasn't just a surprise; it felt like a sacred training ground specially prepared for him. The Celestial Dragons ' sacred ground was in Mary Geoise, while Vic's sacred ground was on Raijin Island!
Vic only spent half the time he used to restore his domineering Haki to its peak, and even improved upon it. Such a good place for cultivation has not been discovered by the world!
The main reason is that the power of lightning is too strong. Even strong people will not easily venture into it. A few Inazuma can be withstood, but a thunderstorm is a completely different concept.
In addition, the vast area covered by the two layers of Raiu outside the island is so large that even top-tier experts would not easily enter, making it difficult to discover the island's secrets.
Moreover, the amount of Primal Spirit on the outer perimeter of the island is only at an average level. Only when one goes deep into the center of the island to cultivate will one have a completely different experience. Therefore, the secrets of this place have never been known to anyone.
It was only because of Vic's identity as Devil Fruit User of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that he dared to come in and explore, which allowed him to discover the wonders of this place. So, a spirit of adventure and challenge is still essential.
After regaining his Haki Vic chose to continue exploring, covering his entire body with Armament Haki and stepping directly into an area of denser purple Inazuma.
Upon entering Vic, I immediately sensed that the purple Raiu were different from the blue Raiu I had encountered before. They were noticeably denser, but the power carried by each bolt of purple lightning was completely incomparable to that of the blue lightning.
A single Inazuma here is almost as powerful as Vic's single-target lightning attack; each bolt of purple lightning consumes a significant amount of Vic's Armament Haki.
Vic could only hope that the purple lightning zone would shrink further, allowing his Haki to last until the next lightning-free zone. Every step Vic took was difficult, as the purple lightning seemed to have a slowing effect on him.
"The training here is really effective. It would be such a shame if Rebecca and the others didn't come and experience it. Next time we go back to Punk Hazard, we'll bring one of them —Rebecca or Barnett— with us. Leaving one to guard Vegapunk shouldn't be a problem."
As for Wendy and Frodeku? They've only just Awakening their Armament Haki and aren't quite suited to this kind of violent training environment yet. Let's bring them over later; Titan Island is much more suitable for them!
While enduring the onslaught of purple Inazuma, Vic was thinking of letting Rebecca and Barnett experience the same feelings he was going through.
His lightning can naturally help Rebecca and the others train in Haki, but the fastest way to recover Haki is on Raijin Island, where training can save a lot of time.
Vic was carrying Thunder Mountain on his back as he moved forward. More than an hour had passed and he had only covered a distance of a little over a hundred meters. More than half of the Armament Haki in his body had already been consumed.
Moreover, the further in you go, the deeper the purple lightning becomes, and its power gradually increases. With the amount of Haki in Vic's body, he simply cannot withstand it for more than two hundred meters.
If the purple lightning zone exceeds two hundred meters, then Vic's current limit is limited to the purple zone. Of course, if Vic were to become elemental, he could easily pass through this zone, but there would be no advantage to that. Vic wouldn't do that unless absolutely necessary and unable to withstand it.
Vic managed to withstand the onslaught for another eighty meters before he could no longer hold on. He couldn't squeeze out a single drop of Armament Haki and passively transformed into his elemental form to dodge the raging purple Raiu.
Although he had exhausted his Haki, Vic did not intend to return. He wanted to see just how wide this purple lightning zone was, since even with his current reserves of Haki, he couldn't withstand it.
Vic walked through the purple lightning zone in a passive elemental state, and the purple lightning, which was like a heavy rain, stopped chasing him and seemed to be consciously avoiding Vic body.
A lightning vacuum zone of about ten centimeters formed around him, like an invisible armor on Vic's body, channeling the lightning that struck his head.
"What exactly is the relationship between this island and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? It's amazing how friendly it is to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User!"
As Vic walked, he pondered the island's peculiarities, and before he knew it, he had left the purple lightning zone and entered a lightning-free zone.
What came into Vic's view was a red lightning bolt even more ferocious than the purple lightning zone, much like the lightning produced when Conqueror's Haki Coating!
Compared to the Conqueror's Coating lightning, the dense, relentless torrent of red Inazuma in the lightning field before them was enough to make one's scalp tingle and completely deter any desire to go in. The red color seemed to represent a taboo, keeping the living at bay!
