Renka, who was preparing to fight Vic, was somewhat shocked. He did not expect that his command could stimulate Vic to Awakening Conqueror's Haki, and the strength was not the same as when others first Awakening it. It had been Awakening for many years and had reached a level that he could control at will.
This Conqueror's Haki talent is too amazing. He has never heard of anyone whose newly Awakening Conqueror's Haki has such a terrifying degree and range!
This intimidated everyone on the entire island and the warship! Except for a few who were relatively strong, everyone else fainted on the ground. A single release of power intimidated over 100,000 people? And this was right after their Awakening! It's simply outrageous!
It was indeed absurd for Renka, but it was normal for Vic. With Vic's talent, he should Awakening Conqueror's Haki long ago. It's just that he had eaten many Mystery Fruit from the Mystery Island, which made his mental strength grow rapidly.
If this growth occurs after mental power breaks free from the shackles of the body, then it naturally strengthens mental power, which is essentially a powerful Conqueror's Haki.
However, if one consumes a large amount of Mystery Fruit before one's spiritual power breaks through the shackles of the body, although it will also increase spiritual power, it will also invisibly strengthen the shackles at the time of Awakening, making the Awakening even more difficult!
Vic's emotions had fluctuated violently before, and he had sensed the shackles, but he had never been able to shake them, always falling short.
This time, with the help of Mind Power strength and a lot of emotional stimulation, he finally broke through that shackle, making Vic's newly Awakening Conqueror's Haki exceptionally powerful. This was an explosion after suppression, and it was also the ultimate reward of "no pain, no gain"!
"Die!!!"
At this moment, Vic no longer cared about the Conqueror's Haki he was unleashing; all he could think about was killing this Celestial Dragons and CP0 agent.
He ignored Renka and charged at the masked CP0 man with his knife.
Renka very powerful, Vic can sense it. If the two of them were to fight directly, it would definitely take some time. Right now, only Rebecca on his ship can hold off a CP0 member whom he had previously injured with a kick.
The two were roughly evenly matched, so no one could stop this CP0 agent in front of him; he could just kill indiscriminately. Therefore, he had to eliminate this potential threat by surprise. As for the other agents? They were mostly unconscious, and Barnett and the others who were still conscious could be dealt with!
" Tekkai!"
Vic's unexpected strike directly covered the powerful Ryuo, and with the speed boost from his Devil Fruit ability, he instantly arrived in front of CP0.
The masked man never expected Vic to have murderous intent. He was still immersed in Vic's Conqueror's Haki, but the intense crisis brought him to his senses. However, Vic was too fast, and he only had time to use Tekkai.
As for Armament Haki defense, it was too late. However, Tekkai was extremely vulnerable to Vic's powerful Ryuo. Vic, who had already reached the CP masked man's back, slowly inserted Blood Wither into the scabbard.
With a soft clang as all the blades were sheathed, the masked man's upper body slid off to the ground. Blood gushed from both the cuts on his upper and lower body. Frozen beneath the CP0 mask was an expression of disbelief and regret; he could no longer make any other expression!
"You killed government officials! Are you defecting from the Navy? What a waste of talent like you, to perish here today!"
Renka hadn't expected Vic to be so decisive; it seemed he had already made up his mind to defect from the Navy. Renka didn't care about the CP0 agent's life or death, and even if he did, it would be too late to rescue him. Vic's speed was beyond his control, especially since he had caught him completely off guard.
But Vic's actions have already shown his stance; he has sided with the civilians and even killed a CP0 agent for it, which is tantamount to betraying the Navy and the World Government. Now, he, Renka, is going to eliminate the future threat on this island!
" Rebecca, Barnett, Wendy, Frodeku! Listen carefully, I just killed a CP0 agent, and I'm going to kill a Celestial Dragons next. I've decided to leave the Navy!"
If you want to stay in the Navy, don't make a move. If you want to follow me and leave the Navy with me, then kill these government agents who treat human life like dirt!
We've been through a lot along the way, so let's make decisions based on our own hearts! As for the other soldiers on the warship, let's not let them take action!
Vic didn't answer Renka's question. Instead, he used his Observation Haki to communicate with Rebecca and the other three. This incident had made him determined to leave the Navy, but he also respected Rebecca and the others' choices. If all four of them decided to stay in the Navy, he was prepared to kill the Celestial Dragons and CP0 and then leave!
Without a word, Rebecca rushed straight towards the CP0 on another warship; she had been itching to make a move for a while!
After CP0's phone call notified the entire island to unleash a killing spree, the agents who had previously intercepted them on the coast no longer held back; they were shooting anyone they saw!
Rebecca others were already furious when they saw this. If they weren't mindful of their status as Marines, they would have already attacked. However, as a powerful Conqueror's Haki swept across, 99% of them fell to the ground, leaving only some relatively strong government agents struggling to hold on. The brutal killing instantly stopped.
They didn't know whose Conqueror's Haki it was. Although they were also intimidated by the Conqueror's Haki, they breathed a sigh of relief. Now, upon hearing Vic's telepathic message, Rebecca didn't hesitate and immediately located her opponent, the masked man.
She went wherever Vic went. Rebecca wanted to join the Navy because of her mother, but after joining, she saw too much darkness in the World Government and the Navy. If Vic hadn't kept telling them that they only needed to uphold the justice in their hearts, she might have left long ago!
Like Rebecca, Frodeku was also a staunch supporter of Vic. He used Geppo to fly directly to the coast, where government agents who hadn't fainted were still standing.
Wendy hesitated for a moment before following Frodeku to the shore. She knew she could only rely on Vic to solve her country's problems. The Navy wouldn't directly confront Big Mom for her sake, so she knew exactly what to choose.
Of course, this is only a matter of gains and losses. From a personal perspective, this is also her first choice. Vic has helped her so much, from saving her life to giving her Devil Fruit to helping her Awakening Armament Haki and train. She has already owed him too much along the way. Even if she were to lose her life for Vic, she would be willing to do so!
" Pirate King should be good too!"
As for Barnett, he could only smile wryly. His ambition was to propel Vic to the pinnacle of the Navy! However, this sudden event completely shattered his aspirations, but he was relieved when he thought of the legend of the Pirate King Roger.
Even if Vic becomes a pirate, he is still a pirate with his own sense of justice, unlike the pirates they previously wiped out.
He turned and calmed the sailors on the warship, who were in a state of confusion, telling them to stay on the ship and not move around. Then he drew his Kogarashi from his waist and flew towards the remaining agents who were still conscious.
"This kind of World Government! This kind of navy! They have utterly disappointed me. A cruel and tyrannical ruler, a hypocritical henchman, have gone against the justice I hold in my heart. And you Celestial Dragons?"
You are the parasites of this world. How many people die every year to support you? If the corpses were piled up, they could fill several places the size of this island.
If you want me to stay, we'll see what you're capable of. The Holy Knights? Not a bad name. Anyone can talk big, but I wonder how strong you really are!
After explaining things to Rebecca and the others, Vic spoke to Renka. He had sensed their choice with his Observation Haki Rebecca and breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want to be alone!
Renka wanted to kill him, but he didn't want to let this Celestial Dragons go either. CP agents had killed several, but he'd never killed Celestial Dragons before!
