And so, Vic disappeared for a week, only resuming his usual training runs a week later.
Vic was still the same handsome and incredibly fast Vic, who could run faster and farther than others even when carrying a load.
It was Andrew who always looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Vic knew what Andrew was laughing about; it was about how he had been beaten up by old man Garp.
So he really wanted to find a reason to beat up Andrew, but he always managed to cleverly deflect the attack.
" Andrew, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet eventually. We'll see! Humph!"
Vic remembered this guy's face and vowed to get revenge later; he Vic known for holding grudges.
During a break, Vic did some self-reflection.
"My physical skills are very strong, and I have mastered all Six Powers. The only ones that are still useful now are Shave, Geppo, and Life Return."
The other items either have a stronger Haki as a substitute, or they overlap with one's own swordsmanship.
There's no need for further training now. The dual-color Haki has Awakening, and all that's needed is to steadily strengthen it. There are currently no bottlenecks.
"Right now, the two swords at my waist are starting to fall short of my strength!"
Although he could use his Haki to enhance his combat abilities later, it was still not worthwhile, so Vic put forging a sword on his agenda.
"I already have Cast Blue Gold and some other rare metals, and this time Grandpa Garp brought two more pieces."
It's basically ready for forging; only one last metal is needed. " Nagayama Black Gold."
" Nagayama Black Gold " is a metal discovered by Nagayama Shinsuke, the legendary swordsmith who forged the Supreme Great Grade Sword.
This metal can fuse all the metal materials used in forging knives, eliminating the rejection reactions between various rare metals.
It can preserve the properties of all rare metals, so that the weapons can be perfectly rounded and seamless, as if they were made by nature.
Nagayama Shinsuke's contributions to the forging industry are unparalleled. He solved the centuries-old problem of the incompatibility of rare metals in the forging industry!
Therefore, this metal is honored in the forging industry as " Nagayama Black Gold " to highlight Nagayama Shinsuke's contributions to the forging industry.
Vic also wanted to find a piece of Nagayama Black Gold to forge a knife, but this material was also hard to find, similar to Cast Blue Gold, both belonging to special metals.
"We still need to go to Sabaody to look for information about this metal. We can also ask Garp to see if the Navy's intelligence agencies have any information on this."
Without further ado, Vic decided to go see Grandpa Garp today, but he couldn't go empty-handed.
Back at the beach, Vic went into the sea, planning to make some snacks to go with his drinks that evening before visiting Grandpa Garp.
Now Vic has become even more frenzied in his consumption of Sea Kings, making him very difficult to catch in the ocean.
Because Vic is currently training in Haki, he uses Haki around the clock. Whenever he runs out of Haki, Vic replenishes it by eating the flesh of Sea Kings! Therefore, he consumes a very large amount of flesh.
To increase the amount of Haki Particles, Vic always covers his body surface with all the Haki Particles he can control.
This allows one to absorb the Primal Spirit floating in space to enhance their Haki.
You can also quickly recover your speed by eating meat after your Haki aura is depleted.
This can accelerate the expansion of the volume of Haki Particles within the cell, which can be considered as strengthening two aspects at the same time.
Therefore, Vic always appears on the beach dressed in a Haki black outfit, completely covered in clothing.
Smoker always says, "Vic is just showing off. So what if he's Haki? I'll Awakening true colors sooner or later!"
Vic, however, was somewhat dismissive. "You can't even stand Tekkai? Awakening your Haki will be a bit difficult. We'll see what opportunities you have in the future."
There are very few Sea Kings left in coastal waters now; Vic has almost wiped them all out.
So Vic only needs to bring a small portion of the Sea Kings meat he prepared, and then he can catch a larger animal in the forest and send it over.
Anyway, the old man isn't too particular about these things; as long as it tastes good, he's fine with it. There's no need to make anything special.
After entering the forest from the Recruit Camp square, Vic transformed into a black man; yes, he activated Armament Haki, covering his entire body.
If his Haki could last that long, Vic would continue living as a black man Hardening by Haki, which would allow him to quickly increase his Haki, but he can't do that yet.
Unlike others, he doesn't usually store up his Haki and never use it.
Otherwise, what if you don't have enough Haki at the crucial moment of battle? You'll just get beaten to death!
Just like Onigumo was stalled for time by Vic, and after using up all his Haki, he was then easily defeated by Vic. This is a good example.
Therefore, they don't use Haki when they're not fighting, so their Haki boost is very weak.
Only those who frequently use Haki in battle grow the fastest, which is why the strongest in the New World possess stronger and more prevalent Haki.
Vic used Haki recklessly, partly to quickly increase his Haki, and partly because he was fearless and unafraid of anyone when it came to escaping.
Although the top-tier powerhouses on the high seas are faster than him when they unleash their power, like Grandpa Garp.
However, he can only surpass Vic's speed during bursts of speed. If it were Garp chasing Vic, that would be a different story.
Even with Geppo, Garp couldn't see Vic's butt light; that's how awesome he is.
Vic's stamina is incredible; it wouldn't be a problem for him to run for days on Geppo!
Moreover, with the Speed-Speed Fruit, you have no idea where he'll escape to from the sky. When it comes to escaping, he's second to none.
Therefore, Straw Hat Boy's battles in the New World are frequent, his enemies' Haki levels are getting higher and higher, and his own Haki is getting stronger and stronger.
I've also learned a lot about the techniques.
King Luffy almost lost when he first fought Caesar Clown, mainly due to his carelessness.
He almost lost the fight against Doflamingo, having used up all his Haki and needing others to buy him time to Haki before he could finally win.
This shows that his Haki reserves are not enough.
Katakuri was attacked because he was in the Mirror World, unable and unwilling to escape. He had to hold Katakuri back, so he had no choice but to confront him head-on. This time, he was badly beaten!
Finally, he learned Observation Haki, which Future Sight, and only then did he manage a pyrrhic victory over Katakuri's self-harm.
Charlotte Linlin, Four Emperors of Whole Cake Island, was defeated after only a few moves, but she knew she was no match and fled for her life.
His Haki couldn't break through the Big Mom's defense at all, which shows that his Haki strength and technique were still insufficient at this point.
Then he marched to Wano Country Wano Country, where there were even more battles.
He was even imprisoned by Kaido to move rocks to break his addiction to Haki, and he was constantly fighting and learning. This can be seen as a prelude to the Straw Hat Boy defeating Kaido. So, you see, you can't grow without Haki.
Just like Crocodile, I wonder if he had Haki before becoming Shichibukai. The probability of him having Haki is very high.
He fought to a draw with 18-year-old Bullet, Bullet in Dark King Rayleigh to a draw. You're saying he doesn't Haki?
He eventually became the second-in-command of the Cross Guild, and his bounty had reached 1.9 billion. Don't you think such a person Haki?
A Logia who doesn't Haki could be easily taken down by any CP0 agent sent by the World Government.
His alliance with Hawk-Eye was monitored, so locating his address shouldn't be too difficult, right?
But why wasn't anyone sent? Even if there were plenty of people available, they wouldn't have set such a high bounty, would they? It already exceeds the bounty for the Imperial Vice-President!
This is enough to show that Crocodile is very strong; several agents couldn't take him down, and he also has a very strong Haki.
Later, he became one of the Shichibukai and went to Alabasta.
Anyway, he's been in Alabasta for so many years and hasn't needed to use Haki at all; there's no one worth using it on, so his Haki has stopped improving?
Or does Haki also have the characteristic of either advancing or retreating?
Getting back to the main point, now that Vic knows the method to quickly increase his Haki, he naturally needs to practice it constantly.
This doesn't conflict with his regular exercise routine; he just eats a lot, but that's not a major drawback.
Vic returned to the beach and began preparing for his visit to Garp that evening.
Catch Sea Kings, catch bison, and prepare the ingredients.
Then Vic stopped; there was still plenty of time.
Vic used his free time to guide Rebecca and Wendy in their training.
He didn't cultivate himself; he simply maintained the release of Haki.
When the time was almost up, he started cooking.
" Rebecca, I've saved your and Wendy's food. You two eat it yourselves. I need to go find Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Okay, go ahead, and come back soon!"
Vic took the prepared meat and used Geppo to rush towards the high-ranking officers' quarters in the living area.
The main reason was that he was too conspicuous at that moment; the roasted bison alone was as big as a small house.
The Sea Kings was made of two huge, bony, and fleshy sticks, which was really too exaggerated. In order to avoid trouble, he chose to pass through the air, as this was the fastest way to go in a straight line and would also reduce the amount of attention he would receive.
Vic used Geppo to quickly arrive at the generals' residence area. Under the guards' astonished gazes, he instructed them to report to Garp that a guest had arrived.
The guard hurriedly took out a mini Den Den Mushi and made a call inside; this was a small Den Den Mushi used for short-range communication.
The guard asked for Vic's name and reported it, then Vic was told he could go in. Someone even guided him, so it seems they took him quite seriously!
