The battle between Rebecca and Yamato then intensified. Yamato transformed into Human-Beast Form form, the Okuchi no Makami, while Rebecca summoned over a hundred flying swords that she had planted on a nearby island, which then hovered behind her and pointed at Yamato.

In terms of sheer presence, Rebecca is definitely stronger, while Yamato, surrounded by white Flame Clouds, appears more ethereal; both are quite impressive.

Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits all possess one or two Logia- type abilities, such as Marco's fire, Kaido's wind and fire, and Yamato's ice. It's unclear whether she has any other Logia- type effects, as they haven't been developed yet.

In the battle on Titan Island, Rebecca was at a disadvantage. Yamato's abilities and skills were unaffected, or rather, if they were affected, she had long been accustomed to it. However, Rebecca's flying swords were greatly affected here. The strong gravity prevented her from controlling all of her flying swords, and she could only barely control a hundred of them in battle.

If Rebecca could control all the flying swords, Yamato would definitely be overwhelmed. However, she can now use freezing air to freeze some of the flying swords flying towards her. In addition, with her spiked club and Armament Haki, she is already able to deal with Rebecca in her current state.

In terms of Conqueror's Haki, Yamato is stronger than Rebecca. She Awakening herself when she was young, and with Kaido's frequent demonstrations, she had already secretly learned to control it freely. Later, with Vic's guidance, she quickly mastered Conqueror's Coating.

Rebecca's Conqueror's Haki was built up by the Soul-Soul Fruit, and given her original aptitude, it would have been difficult for her to Awakening Conqueror's Haki. Even if Awakening, the time it would have taken to improve it would have been much shorter. Therefore, her Conqueror's Haki was somewhat lacking.

In terms of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, they are about equal. Yamato has better talent, as both Awakening their Awakening on their own at a very early age. However, she hadn't learned Ryuo yet, but with Vic's guidance, she will soon master it.

The Oni's talent is truly exceptional, far surpassing Rebecca's. Moreover, Yamato is very likely Kaido and Big Mom's child; at the very least, Yamato resembles a younger Big Mom. If that's true, then her talent is naturally extraordinary.

Rebecca's Armament Haki Awakening with Vic's help, and only after she came of age. However, with Vic's shortcut to training Haki, Rebecca was able to regain some ground, and the two were evenly matched in terms of Haki.

Rebecca has a stronger grasp of Devil Fruit abilities. There's only so much that can be developed with Zoan abilities, and even Mythical Zoan only have one or two more methods.

However, Paramecia offer more possibilities and a wider range of potential for development. Therefore, since neither of them has Awakening their Devil Fruit abilities, Rebecca's ability is more aggressive.

Yamato power and endurance. As for its defense, let's not even talk about it. At this level, even the defense boost from Zoan isn't enough, except for Kaido's Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon ability.

Therefore, all things considered, the two sides were roughly equal in combat strength. However, because the battle took place on Titan Island, Rebecca's Devil Fruit ability was weakened. Faced with the superior mobility and endurance of Zoan Devil Fruit users, Rebecca ultimately lost by a single move.

Rebecca knew she had a natural disadvantage, but she wasn't discouraged by losing the battle. To Rebecca, Yamato was an overpowered opponent, with incredibly strong natural abilities. He had always been overlooked in Wano Country, but with the right guidance, he could soar to great heights.

Yamato and Rebecca are already quite famous on the seas as female combatants of the Thunder God Pirates, and their strength and beauty have been recognized by the outside world.

After the two women finished their battle, Vic held a banquet for everyone, and Vic his life returned to normal.

However, the other members of the pirate crew were not at peace, because since there was no longer a great need for money, Vic did not ask them to go to sea.

However, without going to sea, they couldn't engage in real combat. The few with a warlike nature couldn't stay still at all and often sparred and fought on Titan Island. The huge commotion annoyed Vic so much that he couldn't even calm down to train. In the end, he could only send them out to cause trouble for other pirates!

1519 (the year of the Sea Circle Calendar )

Time flew by and the second year arrived. Since returning last year, Vic had not gone out. Vic had completely adapted to the gravity on the outskirts of Titan Island. Even when meditating or comprehending the Laws, he was not affected by gravity. It was as if it had become an instinct of his body.

Since Awakening his Rumble-Rumble Fruit abilities and acquiring Pure Gold that gathers Primal Spirit, Vic has rarely gone to Raijin Island to train, only going there when he needs to comprehend the Law of Lightning.

After driving away Yamato, Rebecca, and Kuina who had been disturbing his cultivation, he finally had some peace and quiet. He didn't go out again until one day in the middle of the year.

" Vic! Look at us! You have to avenge us! That guy not only hit me, but he also hit Rebecca and Kuina! He's not even a man!"

Vic was immersed in his cultivation when he was violently awakened by the sound of the door being pushed open and shouting. However, Vic did not practice martial arts internal energy cultivation, and there was no such thing as going into a state of demonic possession in this world, so being suddenly awakened did not cause any harm to his body.

The problem is that some things you've realized before might be forgotten due to a sudden, big commotion. This isn't a big loss during normal practice, but if you encounter a moment of inspiration and are suddenly awakened, the loss can be significant.

This is similar to being interrupted during a moment of enlightenment; it's hard to say when inspiration will return. Vic is currently Devil Fruit Awakening, but it's not easy to comprehend an entire Laws within one of them and break through to the God Realm. Fortunately, Vic wasn't at such a crucial moment, so being startled awake didn't cause him any major loss.

A single Laws is like a large tree with many branches, while there are countless Laws in the world, just as there are three thousand great paths and countless minor paths. These Laws trees are also numerous, and when they gather together, they form a Forest of Laws.

Many Laws share commonalities. For example, the Laws temperature, Law of Fire, and Law of Lightning intersect. Laws with these commonalities tend to grow close to each other, and their branches may intertwine. That's what they mean by commonalities.

This world is constructed from a Forest of Laws. Everything is composed of Laws, and what we see and feel are the manifestations of many individual Laws combined together, not the Laws themselves.

If humanity wants to become God of Law, it must peel away these appearances and comprehend a certain Laws hidden within them.

Find the tree you wish to comprehend among these countless trees of Laws. Once you find it, you must constantly focus on that tree and then begin to contemplate it for an extended period of time.

When you have grasped and understood a small branch of this tree, it means you have entered the realm of understanding. The outward manifestation of this is that you have comprehended its meaning and can apply the power of the Laws Laws you have comprehended in the small branch.

This method of comprehending the Laws is quite difficult because it requires extracting the one you desire from a multitude of intertwined Laws. Of course, the first step is to extract the Laws you want to comprehend, which is the most important. After that, finding the tree of Laws becomes relatively easier. Notable figures include Roger, Garp, Rayleigh, Shanks, and Mihawk.

Another way is to consume Devil Fruit, also known as Guide to Law. This method directly infuses the user with the understanding of the Laws of a small branch of a Laws Tree, allowing the user to directly use that part of the Power of Law.

Then, during regular cultivation and ability development, one can easily perceive this Tree of Laws and deepen their understanding. This method offers no choice; whichever Devil Fruit eats, a small portion of that Laws's understanding is instilled in them. This is its drawback.

The advantage is that it saves time, allowing you to quickly skip the time spent painstakingly searching for the Tree of Laws. However, the punishment for cheating is that you will be rejected by the sea and restrained by the Seastone.
