" Rebecca! What have you been through these past three months? How have you become so much stronger? Where is Vic taking you?"
Wendy got up from the ground and walked to Rebecca's side, asking in surprise, " Vic has come back a few times to replenish food, but he hasn't said much to them. He always comes and goes in a hurry, just like the scientists in the research institute. You don't see him for a long time."
" Vic took me to an island inhabited by demons. There, you'll be punished if you don't become stronger, so I have to train like crazy. Next time, we'll be going to Barnett, so you'd better be prepared."
Vic had already spoken to Rebecca; they couldn't discuss the matter of Raijin Island in detail on Punk Hazard.
Vic wasn't afraid of Rebecca and Wendy saying that the training speed there was fast, because Rebecca only knew that the lightning and environment on Raijin Island were somewhat special, which greatly helped in the training of Armament Haki, but she didn't understand the core essence of becoming stronger with Haki.
Raijin Island is a forbidden place, rarely attracting attention, and even fewer people dare to challenge it. But if the outside world knew that Raijin Island could enhance one's Haki, then there would definitely be many more people going there.
There might be some clever people or people with unique talents who figure out the essence of becoming stronger with Haki, which is something Vic doesn't want to see at this stage. Punk Hazard is full of surveillance Den Den Mushi, it's not a place to tell the truth.
Vic was able to discover the essence of Haki not only because the Life Return extended his subjective consciousness to the level of controlling cells, but also because of his special talent for Armament Haki.
When he learned Shigan and Awakening Armament Haki, his consciousness even entered his cells, and he saw the existence of Haki Particles. Only people with unique talents in Haki could see the activity of Haki Particles when Awakening Haki.
But what they see is directly the scene inside the cell; without extending their consciousness to the cellular level, they have no idea that it's a scene inside the smallest unit of the body—the cell. How many people can extend their consciousness to the cellular level?
It's already quite remarkable for an ordinary person to be able to sense the activity of their internal organs. Most people can only control their five senses and limbs, and not many can even control their ears to move.
Very few people in the world know about the concept of cells. Apart from a few scientists and doctors, only those who are well-informed and hold high positions know about it.
Therefore, considering all these objective conditions, no one was able to discover the secret of the Haki until Vic appeared, who possessed all the necessary conditions and had a determination to trace back to the source!
Can I go too?
Barnett was both excited and apprehensive. Rebecca's words were somewhat frightening, mentioning an island inhabited by demons and punishments, but the thought of having Vic with him put his mind at ease. He was determined to train relentlessly as long as he didn't die. Seeing Rebecca's obvious improvement, he was truly tempted, and knowing that Vic would take him there next naturally excited him.
"Of course! If it weren't for the need for protection, we could all go. Right now, only one person can go at a time, but once we all become stronger, one person will be enough to guard this place!"
Rebecca didn't want the others to think that Vic was being biased, and Vic had indeed arranged it that way; she just mentioned it beforehand.
However, Vic also had his considerations. Raijin Island was not suitable for someone who had just Awakening Armament Haki to train there, so Vic would only take Frodeku there once at most. As for Wendy, she would need time to hone her skills.
However, while Raijin Island won't work, Titan Island is an option. There, apart from gravity, there's no harm; one just needs to gradually adapt to gravity and cultivate Haki.
Rebecca and the others were catching up when Vic arrived at Vegapunk's research lab, where he found Caesar there as well.
However, Vegapunk immediately kicked Caesar out upon Vic's arrival. Although Caesar was very dissatisfied, he didn't dare to retaliate in front of Vic. Moreover, this research institute was under Vegapunk's control, so Caesar could only bury his dissatisfaction deep down, which only strengthened his resolve to seize the institute.
" Vic! You're back! Come with me!"
After Caesar left, Vegapunk beckoned Vic to come with him. Clearly, the gravity device was a secret from everyone at the research institute, which was also why Vegapunk had Caesar leave.
"Oh! It's already finished?"
Vic was somewhat delighted. This was not a product that could appear in the ordinary world. You know, in Dragon Ball, Son Goku was able to reach the basic state of transforming into Super Saiyan by training in the gravity chamber on a spaceship.
Therefore, Vic longed for facilities like gravity chambers. If he hadn't experienced the effects of gravity training on Titan Island, he wouldn't have thought of this at all.
Although there is now a better training ground on Raijin Island, the gravity chamber can still be used when sailing at sea on missions, so gravity equipment still has its uses.
Vegapunk didn't take Vic out of the lab. Instead, he went to a metal wall, pressed a few buttons on it, and a high-tech hidden door shrank inward by ten centimeters before sliding to the sides and disappearing into the metal wall.
Vic was surprised to find a secret room in Old Bei's research lab. He didn't know if it was built in advance or if Vegapunk had modified it himself. Without thinking much about it, he followed Vegapunk into the secret room.
Vegapunk led Vic to a complex-looking, columnar device. There were other devices in the room, but Vic paid them little attention; his eyes were now only on the columnar device with its winding pipes.
" Vic! I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't make the gravity bracelet you mentioned. This is already the smallest and most powerful one I've achieved!"
Combined with your Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, it can reach up to fifty times the force of gravity. I think with my current knowledge, it's not enough to develop a device with even greater power!
Vegapunk did not invent the gravity bracelet that Vic envisioned, not because he lacked intelligence, but because the basic technology level of this world was very low. In addition, the World Government's blockade of ancient books and information made it difficult to obtain the necessary basic knowledge and the laws governing the world from the outside world.
The technology of this world was entirely supported by him single-handedly. Of course, he also read some books that survived from Ohara, but none of them were about gravity.
Vegapunk later developed the anti-gravity giant Jaeger, which was only possible after obtaining the technology from the giant robot that invaded Mary Geoise. However, Vegapunk has not yet obtained the giant robot or its technology.
Is it a technical issue or a materials issue?
Vic, who also has a background in physics, knows that the creation of a product begins with a feasible concept, followed by an assessment of whether there is supporting technology and principles.
Finally, we need to see if the materials can meet the requirements for the product to operate normally. The idea was proposed by Vic, and it is feasible in this world. If it still can't be made, then there are the remaining two problems.
"Hmm? Your question is very professional. I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to have such knowledge in the field of technology."
That's right! There are problems with both the technology and the materials. I still don't understand the root cause of gravity. I've only experimented with many materials and catalysts, and even after all this time, I can only make gravity reach fifty times its normal strength!
Vegapunk felt a little ashamed for not meeting Vic's expectations; even the world's number one brain was stumped. However, seeing how professional Vic's question was, he explained the reason. He wouldn't have bothered explaining to anyone else, since they wouldn't understand anyway.
Vic immediately realized that Vegapunk was unaware of the law of universal gravitation and its underlying principles. In this world of superpowers, it was indeed difficult to discover this law because it lacked universality.
However, this world also follows the same law; it's just that Devil Fruit User materialize the patterns, attributes, objects, and creatures that have appeared in the world, and they also have derived superpowers.
However, for those who haven't eaten Devil Fruit, the laws governing the workings of everything still apply. Leaving aside those with Devil Fruit abilities, the basic principles remain the same.
"Doctor! Look at this, what is it?"
Vic took out a small, seamless metal bottle from his pocket; it was actually taken from Dimensional Space.
The small metal vial contained heavy water. When he filled it, he used his smelting ability to seal the vial. He tried not sealing it, but the heavy water would automatically decompose and expand into ordinary water as soon as it left that island. The enormous pressure even caused the bottle cap to fly off!
