"Good!"
Rebecca listened to Vic, and soon a black dot appeared in the sky. The dot grew larger and larger, and some soil and rock structures could be seen below. Bullet and Pizarro initially thought it was a meteorite falling, because such sights were common on this island. However, they realized it wasn't because there were no flames around the dot. As for Ace, he couldn't even lift his head to look up.
Rebecca's Float-Float Fruit is essentially an anti-gravity ability, the exact opposite of Fujitora's Press-Press Fruit. Fujitora can use his Press-Press Fruit to fly on rocks, so conversely, the Float-Float Fruit should also be able to develop a similar ability to increase gravity, but Rebecca didn't develop it in that direction.
However, on Titan Island, anything Rebecca could control was unaffected by the island's gravity, except for the island's center. Thus, a not-so-large island floated before everyone's eyes, like a mountain, blocking out all light.
Vic grabbed Ace's arm and used Geppo to fly onto the island. When Ace saw the island's ground covered with flying swords, Ace was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Rebecca also reached out and grabbed Ain and Uta's arms, flying up with them. Then, with a wave of her hand, she sent a cluster of flying swords rapidly soaring into other locations.
Everyone else managed to reach the island using their own methods, leaving only Pizarro and Bullet, who couldn't use Geppo or fly.
Just as Bullet was wondering how to get up there, two large hands made of earth and stone stretched out from the edge of the floating island and came to the two of them. Seeing Pizarro step onto the earth and stone hands, Bullet was stunned for a moment and then stepped onto them as well.
Bullet certainly has the means to get there, but that would require him to use his Devil Fruit ability to transform into a giant, which would be too ostentatious and overkill, unlike the effortless methods used by others. That's a bit of a hassle!
Earth and stone hands carried the two onto the island. Seeing the countless flying swords reflecting golden light on the island's ground, the two felt a chill run down their spines. They knew Rebecca used flying swords, but they didn't expect there to be so many. If they were to fight Rebecca, they would be riddled with arrows. Bullet's frantic heart calmed down considerably.
Everyone landed on the island, which quickly took off and flew in one direction. Although Rebecca focused more on developing flying swords, she also put a lot of effort into the island. She had explored all the nearby islands, so she knew where the suitable battlefields were. Fighting on her Hidden Sword Island wouldn't work; Vic's combat power was quite frightening, and she was afraid of damaging him!
The small island quickly flew over a larger island, Bullet jumped down without saying a word, creating a large hole in the island. Vic disappeared in a flash of electricity and then appeared directly in front of Bullet, who had just climbed out of the hole, leaving Bullet speechless. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was bowing down to Vic!
The others who had come to watch the spectacle stayed behind and observed the battle from the edge of Rebecca's Hidden Sword Island. Bullet didn't say anything, but he was still quite envious of Logia abilities; they were really practical, convenient, and had a lot of prestige, making them perfect for strong individuals.
"Bring it on!"
Vic spoke up, but he didn't make any move. Bullet didn't care whether he moved or not. Since he had already said he was starting, Bullet rushed over without saying a word, his fist wrapped in Armament Haki, and swung it toward Vic's head.
Vic neither dodged nor avoided the punch, but the punch didn't even touch Vic's head. Instead, it was blocked by the Conqueror's Conqueror's Haki Coating that Vic had gathered.
With the Conqueror's Haki released from his feet penetrating deep into the ground, he was rooted to the spot like a nail. Vic was only knocked back a meter by Bullet's powerful punch; he remained standing, completely unharmed.
This made Bullet's eyes widen. He knew his own strength; his punch could send a small mountain flying, but Vic only slid back a little over a meter. This was too unbelievable. Bullet even began to doubt his own powerful fist.
"You..."
Bullet wanted to say something but couldn't. He gritted his teeth and launched another attack. He leaped over Vic and his fist, which was much bigger than Vic's head, slammed into Vic's head!
In an instant, the ground, centered on Vic, with a diameter of 100 meters, sank by more than a foot, as if it had been hit by a huge iron pillar with a diameter of 100 meters. The ground was very flat and did not crack, but it became more solid and heavy.
Vic remained standing still, not even his toes touching the ground.
Bullet's fist was still pressed against Vic's head as he looked at the result below, his lips twitching. He was very dissatisfied with the outcome. He had wanted to smash Vic deep into the soil and make him look pathetic, but it had no effect. Instead, the soil and rocks within a hundred meters radius had been damaged. How did this happen? Bullet simply couldn't understand it.
Actually, it's possible to do this as long as your Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki are strong enough. Obviously, Bullet's Haki isn't strong enough. Bullet's enormous power was dispersed and absorbed by the earth and rocks below Vic. Vic understands pressure very well.
So, the final result of Bullet's punch was just that the ground sank a little over a foot. Vic was completely unaffected. He and Conqueror's Haki Coating to form a pinhead pointing to the sky, while your hammer was only a little bigger than the pinhead. There's nothing more to say; it couldn't break through his defense.
Seeing that Vic had taken his powerful punch without moving, Bullet became increasingly frustrated and angry. He was angry at his own weakness, that he couldn't even budge Vic. So, regardless of the outcome, he unleashed a barrage of attacks on Vic!
Of course, Vic couldn't remain completely still. Bullet was truly formidable, possessing immense strength and Haki. While defending, Vic would also shift his position slightly to dissipate the force, but in Bullet's eyes, this was no different from being utterly unshakeable. He had spent over a decade training in Impel Down! And this was the result! How cruel! Bullet was even somewhat disheartened and considered retiring to the mountains!
"You must be tired after playing for so long, it's my turn!"
Vic wasn't used to taking a beating. He didn't fight back to make Bullet completely submit. "You can't even hurt me without me lifting a finger, what more do I need to say?"
After saying that, Vic made his move. He spread his five fingers and slammed them down on the ground in front of him, but nothing happened there. However, a tremendous explosion occurred on Bullet's side. Bullet was struck by a blood-red, semi-transparent hand!
It was a giant hand falling from the sky. Bullet had already noticed it and looked up to see it, but the giant hand seemed to affect his mind. The moment he saw the giant hand, he became dazed and couldn't think of escaping. He just stood there watching the giant hand, waiting for it to strike!
Then Bullet was slammed into the earth and rocks, and a huge palm-shaped basin appeared on the island's ground. In the center of the palm print was a human-shaped depression, which was squeezed out by Bullet's body. Bullet lay motionless in the human-shaped depression, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep like an infant!
Olga: "Is this Vic's new move?"
Barnett: "This is Conqueror's Haki Coating, only exceptionally large!"
Kanbo: "This palm print must be five or six meters deep! It's a bit scary!"
Fisher Tiger: "The key is its size! It's tens of meters long; if it were a warship, it would be wiped out in no time!"
Kuina: "This guy came here wanting to challenge Vic, but he couldn't even withstand a single move from Vic!"
Pizarro: " Bullet is very strong! Blackbeard didn't dare to recruit him when he entered Impel Down, fearing he couldn't control him, but look what happened..."
Rebecca: " Vic is just too strong. Didn't you see how it took the combined Conqueror's Haki of several of us to suppress him? He's definitely not weak, but his use of Armament Haki is a bit rough, and his powerful Conqueror's Haki wasn't even used!"
Frodeku: "His foundation is solid, but his technique is rough. With some instruction, he definitely won't be weak!"
Uta: "You mean? Vic wants to take him in?"
"Let's go back!"
Vic jumped into the pit, grabbed Bullet by the back of his uniform collar, and threw him directly onto Rebecca's Hidden Sword Island. Rebecca, fearing that Bullet would damage her flying sword, quickly caught him and placed him on the open ground.
Bullet was lying face down in the pit earlier, so it wasn't obvious what was going on. But now that Rebecca saw his face, she realized that Bullet was almost bleeding from all seven orifices, yet he had no external injuries whatsoever, which made Rebecca click her tongue in amazement.
