"It's essential to let Vic know that there are always people more capable than himself; otherwise, even if he becomes Marine Admiral, he'll still be difficult to manage."
As a member of the Holy Knights the same batch as Garling, Renka's combat strength is beyond doubt. He will definitely teach Vic a lesson, so that he will know he is just a member of an inferior race when he encounters Celestial Dragons in the future!
Saturn slammed his cane down heavily, still harboring some resentment towards Vic's attitude towards him earlier, and hoping that Renka would give Vic a good beating to vent his anger.
" Vic is a very talented human. If he passes our test this time, it's not impossible for him to become the Navy's top combat force in the future. I don't want him to lose too badly. Now let's wait for news from Renka!"
The bald, bespectacled Five Elders said calmly, " Vic has such combat power at such a young age. He will only become stronger in a few decades. By then, he might even be able to sit on the seat of Fleet Admiral."
Of course, the prerequisite is that he passes their test. If Vic prioritizes justice, then his highest achievement would only be a Headquarters Vice Admiral.
You said he'd stop the agents' island-destroying operation? Renka didn't go there just to teach him a lesson; he also wanted to suppress Vic when Vic tried to stop the massacre of civilians.
They had already considered everything in detail, but whether Renka could stop Vic was a question they only briefly considered and then stopped thinking about. Given Vic's age, even if he had started cultivating from birth, his strength was within their estimation; sending Renka would be enough.
" The Marine Admiral needs to confirm this quickly. The seas are even more chaotic after Roger's execution; the balance has been broken, and it needs to be restored as soon as possible!"
Just after Renka gave the order to start massacring civilians, the surrounding agents had already opened fire and killed people. Then the CP0 agent who had been confronted by Vic took out Den Den Mushi and relayed the order. After that, the entire island entered a brutal mode of killing anyone they saw!
"Stop!!!"
A powerful, invisible force spread across the entire island with Vic's roar, and the surrounding agents and civilians could no longer withstand it and began to collapse.
The invisible force emanating from Vic continued to spread across the entire island, seemingly aiming to knock all the agents on the island unconscious!
Indeed, this invisible force is Conqueror's Haki. Vic finally Awakening Conqueror's Haki under intense emotional stimulation!
The moment that CP0 call was made, the entire island descended into hell. Vic's Mind Power began to operate on its own, directly merging with his Observation Haki.
Previously, he could only see images at short distances, but now he can see everything covered by his Observation Haki. The emotions that he could only roughly sense with his Observation Haki before are now transmitted to Vic's mind with perfect clarity.
The woman, who hadn't died immediately after being shot, let out a wail, but the shooter loaded another bullet and walked towards her!
The man, whose neck was hit by a stray bullet and half of his neck was gone, could only clutch his bleeding neck, unable to speak from the pain, because his trachea was also ruptured!
A young mother was shot through the heart, but her body stood firmly in front of her child. The child cried helplessly, unable to wake his mother, but the cries only attracted the attention of the killer!
A white-haired woman watched her son, who had fought against a humanoid demon to protect her but was shot dead, and she was overcome with grief. Her son had gone before her!
A middle-aged man, his legs riddled with bullets, crawled on the ground, screaming "No!" but unable to stop the humanoid demon from entering his home. His wife and children were hiding there. Then he heard two more gunshots, and he stopped crawling in despair. It wasn't that his body was too raw and bleeding to move, but that his heart had died of despair!
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy, hiding under his own bed, witnessed his parents and sister being murdered. His eyes were filled with tears and endless resentment. Given the chance, that seed of hatred would take root, sprout, and blossom into a burning flower, burning away all the demons that had harmed his family. But the demon with the gun was approaching him!
A girl hiding in a basket on a street corner opened the lid a crack and looked out at the street. The ground was stained red with blood, and corpses lay everywhere. Demons in suits were searching for survivors, shooting them as soon as they were found, and finishing them off if they weren't killed.
The girl trembled as she watched this scene unfold, but her trembling caused the lid of the basket to shake as well, attracting the attention of a devil with a gun. The fear in the girl's eyes intensified; she lowered the lid and curled up into a ball, but then she heard footsteps getting closer and closer...
Countless emotions were perceived by Vic, and all the images and sounds assaulted his brain. Finally, he could no longer bear it and let out a roar!
At that moment, the spiritual energy that had been preventing him from spreading out of his body finally broke through some kind of blockade and spread out in all directions, covering the entire island and the surrounding warships in an instant!
Even after Vic Awakening his Conqueror's Haki, he never imagined that what he thought was a minor mission was actually meticulously arranged by the Five Elders to test his level of respect for the World Government's orders.
At this moment, Vic was completely oblivious to that; his mind was consumed by rage, and his Conqueror's Haki was being unleashed continuously.
In the past, he only knew about massacres, island annihilation, the Ohara Incident, the Buster Call, God Valley, and other such events from television, newspapers, or other people's accounts. He would feel emotional, sympathetic, and angry!
But the matter was long gone and had little to do with him, so he didn't feel it as deeply. It was like in his previous life, the news was always reporting that wars were happening all over the world, how many innocent people had died, how many people were suffering from disasters and had no food, drink, or shelter, and so on.
However, his feelings were only at that moment and were not profound; he would eventually return to his normal life.
But this time, having personally experienced such a tragedy, the feeling was completely different from what he had heard before. In addition, the combination of Mind Power and Observation Haki made his feelings even clearer.
He imprinted every scene and sound on the island in his mind, and he sensed everyone's emotions. The impact made it impossible for him to stand idly by, even if it meant giving up the opportunity to become Fleet Admiral!
Becoming Fleet Admiral was just one step in his plan; he didn't necessarily have to take this path. As long as he had connections with the navy, he could still make further plans for the future.
But his body and mind had already made a choice regarding whether to take action or remain silent: he would give up his identity as a Marine to stop the World Government's massacre of civilians!
He wanted to break free of the shackles he had put on himself, so that he could leap freely in the sea and fly freely in the sky, free from all constraints! And so, his Conqueror's Haki Awakening in that roar!
" Conqueror's Haki! I didn't expect you to Awakening Conqueror's Haki at this time. This level of strength is nothing like someone who just Awakening. You are truly gifted! They weren't sending me here without a reason!"
