Yamato Awakening Conqueror's Haki on Onigashima when she was a child. As the daughter of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, her talent is undoubtedly exceptional, which goes without saying.
Kuina's kendo talent is even higher than Zoro's. Don't think that just because Zoro's older or has been practicing for longer, it's because she's older than Zoro. Koshiro's words have already been quite blunt: before Zoro came, Kuina rarely practiced kendo, but even so, no one in the dojo could beat her.
Kuina only started practicing swordsmanship seriously when Zoro posed a slight threat. Kuina is like Frieza from Dragon Ball, Zoro is like Son Goku. Doesn't Kuina deserve to Awakening Conqueror's Haki? Even without the Soul Fruit, she would definitely Awakening it on her own!
Was Fisher Tiger, who scrambled the Red Line to Mary Geoise with his bare hands and set fire to free the slaves, an ordinary person? Many are stronger than Fisher Tiger, but how many would risk their lives to go to the Celestial Dragons' lair and act on their desires?
His empathy is unmatched; his inner strength is immense. Doesn't he deserve to Awakening Conqueror's Haki? Among the entire Fish-Man Race, he is an outstanding figure. If only one Conqueror's Haki Awakening can be born among the Fish-Man Race, that person will be him, Fisher Tiger!
Frodeku Awakening his Observation Haki at a young age and could even Future Sight before he reached adulthood, which is enough to show that his mental strength is very strong. Without strong mental strength as support, his achievements in Observation Haki would not be very great.
From the moment he met Vic, Frodeku ' fate was changed. All he needed was a trigger to Awakening his Conqueror's Haki. However, with the Soul Fruit, his path would only become more leisurely.
Olvia may appear to be the oldest and most ordinary member of the Thunder God Pirates, but everyone knows her profession: historian! Or you could say archaeologist.
She may not be the best in terms of fighting, but her education and academic qualifications are definitely the highest (except for that freak Vic ). At such a young age, Olvia has already become a leader in this group. It would be impossible to do that without strong knowledge and personal charisma!
In other words, Olvia is exceptionally intelligent. As we all know, intelligence is closely related to mental strength, meaning Olvia belongs to the group of people with naturally strong mental abilities. However, her efforts haven't been directed towards physical strength and power. Does this mean Olvia has no chance to Awakening Conqueror's Haki? She simply lacks direction and pressure!
Vic's companions are all extraordinary individuals, and there's no need to list them all. There's Uta, the king of songs; Olga, who has lived for hundreds of years; Kanbo, who has exceptional talent; Mantis, who is on friendly terms with Whitebeard; and Rebecca, Wendy, Barnett, and Ain, who were among the first to follow Vic.
Can't these people Awakening Conqueror's Haki with an unlimited supply of Soul Fruit? So Vic's words weren't just empty boasting. He still has a use for Bullet, and he can't afford to lose face too much, otherwise he'll completely offend him and end up having to eliminate this threat. Also, he's afraid of scaring Bullet!
"No... I'm not going to try anymore! Let them stop!"
Bullet was already kneeling on one knee; if another one came, he would really be kneeling on both knees. What kind of dignity would that leave for a strongman?
When he was in Roger Pirates, he initially didn't even respect Roger, but in the end, he was defeated and subdued by Roger. However, his unruly personality never changed, and kneeling down was even more unacceptable than submitting.
Moreover, Vic hasn't even unleashed his Conqueror's Haki yet. Even if the others don't have Conqueror's Haki, Vic can still make them kneel down and never be able to lift their heads again!
Bullet doesn't find it hard to submit to the strong; he once submitted to Roger, so there's nothing he can't submit to the Thunder God Pirates, who are of such strength.
After Bullet relented, Vic nodded slightly to Rebecca and the others, Rebecca then withdrew their Conqueror's Haki. Bullet, relieved of the pressure, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
Vic couldn't handle Vic, and Vic's partner didn't seem easy to deal with either. Bullet couldn't help but consider retreating. There were plenty of powerful figures on the high seas; was it really necessary to keep an eye on Vic?
" Bullet! If you really want to challenge me, fine! I'll give you a chance, but..."
"But what?"
Seeing that Bullet was considering leaving, Vic immediately offered him another hope. Since he was already there, he couldn't let him leave so easily; Vic's goal hadn't been achieved yet.
Bullet, who had been considering retreating, felt a glimmer of hope after hearing Vic's words. If he had to say who he most wanted to fight right now, it would undoubtedly be Vic, who had defeated him and imprisoned him in Impel Down. So, seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, he quickly inquired about what would happen next.
"We can fight this battle, but if you lose, you have to do something for me. If I lose, I'll do something for you too—you can even kill me if you want!"
If I lose the challenge and don't pay any price, where will my pride be? Titan Island will be trampled to pieces, and I'll be working myself to death. So we can't start this, what do you think?"
"Fine! What do you want me to do?"
The challenge is fine, but if you lose, you have to leave something behind. In other words, Bullet is useful to Vic now, otherwise, given the grudge that he almost killed Gion, he would have to be kept here as fertilizer.
The same applies to other challengers; anyone who commits crimes shouldn't even think about going back. Otherwise, wouldn't he, the powerful figure who defeated Four Emperors Big Mom, lose all his prestige? Wouldn't every Tom, Dick, and Harry want to challenge him? Wouldn't that drive him crazy?
Therefore, necessary tough measures must be taken. Even someone as easygoing as Red-Hair will not easily let go of those who challenge him. Losing an arm to Kid is considered lenient; Shanks was already merciful by not taking his life. Try it with any of the other Four Emperors? They would either take him in as a dog or kill him outright. Vic will not set a precedent by becoming a nice guy.
Bullet hesitated for a long time before agreeing to Vic's conditions. He was all alone, which made things easier for him. He was free to fight and move around, and he wasn't afraid to make enemies of any force. It was others who were afraid of him.
Only a pirate crew like Vic's, which has no territory but a powerful crew, wouldn't be afraid of him. Besides, he also wanted to see what a strongman like Vic wanted him to do.
"Alright then, let's go deeper into the island. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get things done."
Vic said calmly, then led the way towards the center of Titan Island. If it were a battle of equal strength, he wouldn't choose Titan Island Titan Island, even if it were incredibly sturdy; it still couldn't withstand a battle between powerhouses of this caliber.
But Bullet and Vic didn't take him seriously. Showing a little strength on his own turf was no big deal; he would end the fight quickly!
With Bullet in tow, and the others following behind, Vic arrived at the forest where gravity was a hundred times stronger than normal. This was the temporary battlefield Vic had chosen.
Rebecca and her companions usually wear gravity bracelets when they are out in the open, and they often challenge the gravity deep within Titan Island when they return to the island, so they don't react much to the gravity of this forest.
However, Bullet, Pizarro, and Ace couldn't handle it. It wasn't that they couldn't take it, but they found it difficult to adapt in the short term, which greatly affected their strength.
Pizarro is considered good; in his Kirin form, he has the ability to control the earth and is somewhat involved in gravity, and he can walk, sit, and lie down like a normal person.
But Bullet couldn't do it. Although his physical body was extremely strong, this place had 100 times the gravity. Even Bullet was struggling to hold on, and he could even hear the grinding sound of his bones rubbing together when he walked.
Even worse off was Ace. His physique wasn't as strong as Bullet's, and his strength was also somewhat lacking. At this moment, he couldn't even straighten his back, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that he couldn't even speak.
If it weren't for Ace's condition, Vic would have gone even further, forcing Bullet to surrender without a fight!
"Do I really have to choose this place? This doesn't seem fair to me!"
Seeing that the others seemed completely oblivious, Bullet inwardly grumbled, "Are they really all that powerful?" But he still felt this wasn't the right battlefield—no, he felt it wasn't the right battlefield for him. Those guys could probably fight for three days and three nights here without any problem.
"You're suffering, but aren't I suffering too? If you have to be picky about the fighting location, what kind of strong person are you? If you can't even adapt to the location, you'll be plotted against and killed sooner or later, don't you think?"
"What you say is true, but I've never experienced such a unique island, while you've lived here for over a decade. How can that be the same?"
Bullet agreed with Vic's philosophy, but he was unhappy with this differential treatment. He wasn't stupid; he knew about adaptability. He had trained his body specifically through adaptability before, and given time, he could quickly adapt to the gravity here. However, he wasn't going to immediately engage in a high-intensity battle with a powerhouse like Vic upon arriving here.
"You're right, Rebecca! Let's get a small island over here, and find a place to use as our battlefield."
Vic thought about it and realized Bullet was right. Barrett wasn't convinced verbally, and he was even more convinced in his heart. Even if he defeated Barrett, Barrett probably wouldn't be convinced. He didn't want to waste time going far away, as it was really unnecessary to do it in one move. But if he wanted Bullet to work for him, he had to beat him into submission first. So Vic finally decided to find a fair place.
