When He and the others arrived at the cabin, they saw a figure dressed entirely in black sitting cross-legged on the beach in front of the cabin.
He was dressed in black, black pants, and black boots; even his exposed skin was black, and of course, his face was black as well.
Of course, his dark expression wasn't because he was unhappy about so many people coming; he was practicing Armament Haki, and the results of such training are visible.
It's impossible to deplete your Haki in every battle and then wait for Haki to grow back.
Once Vic knows how to increase his Haki, he will absolutely not wait.
Now that I'm still a new recruit, the environment is relatively comfortable, making it a good time to seize the opportunity to improve my Haki.
Vic guessed that Bullet had discovered this method of training Haki, which was why his Haki was exceptionally powerful.
The same applies to Observation Haki; the later Admiral Fujitora Issho is a prime example.
Because he is blind, he has to constantly use his Observation Haki, to the point that his Observation Haki can detect meteorites in outer space.
Therefore, Vic often uses his Observation Haki, in order to develop Observation Haki with a wider range.
Tsuru and the others were a little confused when they saw Vic using full-body Armament Haki.
Tsuru knew that Vic possessed Observation Haki, and thought the kid was showing off his Armament Haki, which she found somewhat amusing.
"Alright, Vic, we all know you know Armament Haki, you can put it away now!" Tsuru said with a smile.
Gion scoffed at Tsuru's words. What a shallow man! So fond of showing off. Was this the kind of man she wanted to meet?
Rebecca was about to explain that Vic was always like this, but after being glanced at by Vic, she chose to remain silent.
Vic knew that Granny Tsuru had misunderstood him, but he wasn't going to explain.
This Haki cultivation method should be universally applicable, but how much Haki one can gain each time depends on their physical talent.
Most people are unaware of how their Haki becomes stronger; they generally believe it only grows stronger after battle and rarely use Haki in normal times.
Vic is too young now. If this method gets out, it's hard to say what the ocean will become in the future.
It would also be detrimental to his own growth, since some people have already reached the pinnacle of Haki. If they knew this method, the threat they would pose in the future would be enormous.
Vic Rebecca hasn't told her yet, for fear that if Rebecca did, it would arouse Granny Tsuru's suspicion.
Granny Tsuru is truly wise; she might actually be able to discern Vic's true intentions from his actions. Therefore, the phrase "it's like this every day" should never be uttered in front of Crane.
"Hehe, Granny Tsuru, I just wanted you to praise me, I wanted you to tell Vice Admiral Garp on my behalf."
"Let me graduate sooner! I want to go out to sea and catch pirates too!" Vic said, offering a plausible reason.
Tsuru found Vic's words somewhat amusing, but a swordsman like Vic, who had mastered all Six Powers and Awakening both types of Haki, was indeed capable of going out to sea on missions.
Isn't that how her Gion is?
Furthermore, Vic defeated a Vice Admiral before he even Awakening Armament Haki, which certainly demonstrates his qualifications—and he is highly qualified!
But she couldn't make decisions for Garp, and knew that persuasion was useless.
"Sorry, Vic, I've worked with Garp for so many years, I know him pretty well."
"It's hard to change this guy's mind once he's made it, and I doubt I can persuade him otherwise, but I'll give it a try," Crane said helplessly to Vic.
"Alright then, that's the only way. If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to endure it for another six months or so!" Vic said helplessly.
He knows Garp's personality; even Fleet Admiral Kong only listens selectively to what he says. Do you expect him to listen to you?
Therefore, this will not change Vic's plan much; he still wants to lie low for a while and hone his skills.
Gion hearing Vic and Tsuru's conversation, Gion's impression of Vic changed, and Vic prepared to spar with him.
Then she stepped out from the crowd and came directly in front of Vic.
Vic discovered that Gion was really tall; she was now about three meters tall, almost the height of Admiral.
Vic is only 2.3 meters tall, much shorter than Gion, but Vic doesn't feel inferior to anyone.
He was already about three meters tall, but he shortened himself by using the Life Return technique.
He doesn't really like people who are too tall, which is related to his aesthetic preferences in his previous life.
He even feels he's too tall now, and if possible he'd like to change it, but he's used up all his Life Return and this is the best he can do.
Gion's long legs are truly eye-catching; they must be at least 1.7 meters long, long and white.
She had a spider tattoo on her left thigh, wore sexy black shorts, and a pink tank top that revealed her deep cleavage.
Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, and she wore a hooded cloak of justice on her back, with the Famous Sword Kompira hanging at her waist.
In her early twenties, with a beautiful face, captivating eyes, and a geisha-style hairstyle, she was truly a rare beauty in this world; Vic was somewhat stunned by her.
" Vic, I'd like to spar with you on swordsmanship. You wouldn't refuse, would you?" Gion asked directly.
Vic was a little surprised, not expecting that this future Admiral had come here to challenge him to a duel.
He thought he had just come with Granny Tsuru He for a stroll and a look around.
Judging from the epaulets on his cloak, Gion is now Rear Admiral general, which is a very high rank.
It's a bit inappropriate to challenge a new recruit like myself to a duel. If I win, it might seem like I'm bullying a newbie; if I lose, it'll be embarrassing.
Not everyone is as rude as Onigumo, who bullies all the new recruits.
However, Vic could tell that Gion was serious and genuinely wanted to spar with him in swordsmanship, coming with a heart seeking the Dao.
Vic probably got into trouble because of that newspaper; otherwise, it would have been really hard to attract Gion's attention!
However, Vic wouldn't refuse; he also wanted to see the swordsmanship skills of the future Marine Admiral candidate.
"Okay, I agree. Shall we do it now?" Vic replied after thinking for a moment.
"Of course, right now, right here," Gion said earnestly.
Vic didn't say anything, and led Gion towards the place where he used to spar with Rebecca.
Also on the edge of the forest, where they had burned all the trees for firewood, there was a large clearing.
When He first arrived here, his lips twitched slightly upon seeing this scene.
The two stood apart, neither making a move immediately, but simply staring into each other's eyes.
Their gazes grew increasingly sharp, and the air seemed to be filled with the Sword Qi, cutting through the air and even the wind carrying a sharp edge.
In the end, Gion made the first move. After all, her opponent was someone whose swordsmanship was comparable to Red-Hair', and her swordsmanship was inferior to Red-Hair ', so she had no choice but to attack first.
Gion moved with incredible speed, instantly appearing before Vic and unleashing a furious slash with her sword.
Vic is an exceptionally fast person; he doesn't need Observation Haki, he can see that speed with his naked eye.
Having adapted to extremely fast-moving eyes, watching Gion now feels like watching a normal person jogging at a leisurely pace; you can avoid it however you want.
Vic didn't draw his sword, but simply dodged Gion's attacks. Gion, unable to land a hit after a long time, grew somewhat annoyed.
"How outrageous! Who do they think they are!"
This guy is really disrespecting her, he didn't even draw his sword. She was furious and used her Observation Haki to predict Vic's dodge.
It worked at first, but after a while it stopped working. Vic's speed was even faster than her observations and predictions, and she was dodged before she could even launch an attack.
"This girl's met her match today!"
"Even a powerful Rear Admiral Gion couldn't make that recruit draw his sword?"
"This batch of recruits is outrageous!"
"I really envy that kind of talent!"
Even the cranes on the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore. How could they possibly fight like this? They couldn't even get close. The group of female soldiers nearby were also astonished!
Gion had served on Vice Admiral Tsuru's ship, and they knew his strength well, yet they were so powerless here today.
"Damn it, draw your sword! What kind of swordsmanship is this, just dodging all the time!"
Gion was getting increasingly angry. This brat kept dodging her attacks with a smile, and she was about to explode with rage. He was taking her so lightly.
Seeing that Gion was genuinely angry, Vic abandoned his joking thoughts, drew his Blood Wither, and engaged Gion in a real swordsmanship sparring match.
Vic's swordplay was more refined; he had eliminated unnecessary movements, and he was always able to attack Gion before she could react.
"Damn it, he's so fast!"
However, she was unharmed due to her Armament Haki defense.
Gion's Sword Gang aura was not as powerful as Vic's; she had to unleash two Sword Gang each time to counteract one of Vic's Sword Gang, which made her work very hard.
"My swordsmanship is indeed inferior to his; I need to practice more when I get back!"
The lack of power in her slashes caused Gion to lose many opportunities, so Gion was constantly suppressed by Vic. Vic didn't use his full speed, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
The two engaged in a comprehensive competition, examining each other's techniques, Sword Gang, Haki, swordsmanship level, and adaptability.
The site was severely damaged, with the land broken into clumps and piled up haphazardly everywhere.
The result was naturally a complete victory for Vic. Gion was still far inferior. Although she was a swordswoman much stronger than Rebecca, she was helpless against Vic.
Stop! I'm no match for you!
In the end, Gion conceded defeat; she wasn't one to back down from a loss, but she still left behind a bold statement.
She would go back and continue to improve herself, and would come back to challenge Vic to a duel in the future. She hoped Vic wouldn't refuse, and Vic smiled and agreed.
" Rebecca, come over with Vic tonight!"
And so, He had accomplished his purpose in coming here. He said goodbye to Rebecca and then led the women back.
However, several of the female soldiers were looking at Vic with very intense eyes, as if they wanted to just leave him there.
It's really hard for them to resist a young, handsome, and strong man like Vic.
If Vice Admiral Tsuru hadn't been there, they definitely would have rushed over and started chatting with Vic.
Those intense gazes infuriated Rebecca, who glared back!
Gion left, she looked at Vic intently for a long time, as if trying to remember him!
Vic simply smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.
