Vic had long seen through Gion's sense of justice; it wasn't blind justice, but rather a judgment she made.
Just like Smoker's sense of justice, she also has her own principles and judgments.
Therefore, Vic plans to plant a seed in Gion's heart first, and with the World Government's constant nurturing, this seed will surely grow strong.
Vic had a premonition that the World Government and the Navy would break apart in the final battle, and he would have to face that terrifying existence again. Therefore, he needed to make some preparations to deal with the great changes to come.
"That's all your speculation. Who knows what will happen in the future? Humph!" Gion had already snapped out of her daze.
"Don't you know that there's an advanced application of Observation Haki that allows you to Future Sight? I have that ability, and I can even see into the distant future!" Vic said with a smile.
"Do you know Vegapunk?" Vic asked again.
"Of course I know! He's doing research in the Navy right now. Dr. Vegapunk is a person whose wisdom surpasses that of humans by five hundred years. How could I not know him!" Gion replied.
"Yeah, with such a scientific genius joining the Navy, what kind of weapons do you think he can invent?" Vic asked with a smile.
Gion was taken aback. She hadn't realized Vic's purpose in asking the question before, but now that Vegapunk was mentioned, it immediately reminded her of the future they had discussed earlier. Could that thing really happen?
Gion didn't want to think about it anymore; she didn't want to see that kind of future, it was a deep despair for her!
Fortunately, there was Vic's light, which did not forget to shine on her. Gion stared blankly at Vic's face.
Vic stopped talking about it; there would be plenty of time later. Now Vic was going to prepare dinner.
Dinner was Sea Kings feast, and everyone enjoyed it very much!
After dinner, the three women returned to their rooms, while Vic remained seated on the deck.
His spiritual practice had always been ongoing; he was simply using a different method on the ship, which posed no challenge to him.
He aims to train his body to have a defense comparable to Big Mom's Iron Balloon and Kaido's Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Form, the Azure Dragon, or even stronger!
Even with their insane defenses, these two were still managed to break through, which means there's still room for improvement. Add to that an infinitely rechargeable Armament Haki, and this becomes quite a potential threat.
After coming ashore from underwater, Vic began meditating on the deck.
But less than fifteen minutes later, the moon in the sky was shrouded by rapidly moving dark clouds, and the wind gradually picked up.
Vic knew that something was about to change; no wonder the afternoon sunset was so beautiful—it was a sign.
Vic took out the stone box from his waist, covered his entire body with Armament Haki, opened the lid of the stone box, and took out the Divine Staff inside.
In an instant, lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck Vic, Vic was covered by Armament Haki and was not afraid at all.
But the deafening thunder woke everyone on the ship. Vic was struck by lightning for five minutes before he finally put the Divine Staff back into the stone box.
But a glint flashed in Vic's eyes in the pitch-black night.
The wind picked up even more, and the sky turned pitch black.
As if in response to the Divine Staff, flashes of Inazuma occasionally appeared in the dark clouds, followed quickly by booming thunder. In short intervals, raindrops began to fall on the deck and the sea.
At this moment, the trainees in the cabin had also finished packing and come to the deck. They were also panicked when they saw the sudden change in weather. This was the first time they had encountered such weather in the few days since they set sail.
" Phoebe, has Phoebe arrived yet?" Barnett, who wasn't good with the weather either, quickly called out to the navigator team leader.
"Yes, I'm here!" Phoebe said as she approached Barnett.
" Phoebe, what's going on? What should we do now?" Barnett forced himself to calm down and asked Phoebe.
"Wait a moment, our navigation team needs to take a look."
Phoebe was also very anxious. Their sailing team hadn't predicted this weather during the day, which was their mistake.
Therefore, we must now do our utmost to make up for the mistakes and minimize the damage to the warships.
Vic felt the wind getting stronger, but thankfully it was nighttime, the warship had stopped sailing, and the sails had been furled.
That way the warship wouldn't capsize, but then he suddenly remembered that the ship would lower its anchor when it stopped sailing at night.
" Barnett, get someone to pull up the anchor right now! If the wind picks up, the ship will capsize!" Vic shouted to Barnett.
Upon hearing this, Barnett slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about it, and quickly ordered people to pull the anchor.
" Barnett, we just reached a conclusion after a group discussion."
This should be a storm cloud, gathering very quickly. Once gathered, it will form a hurricane, resulting in torrential rain and strong winds.
Moreover, many enormous waterspouts will form beneath the thunderclouds.
Our warships are in great danger under these storm clouds; they could easily be sucked into a large waterspout.
"That would mean our entire army would be wiped out! We have to get out of here right now!"
Phoebe anxiously explained the dangerous situation to Barnett!
While it was still early in the rain and there was still a chance to escape, Barnett pondered for a minute and made up his mind.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me..."
But now, with the sounds of thunder, rain, and people all mixed together, no one could hear Barnett's voice. He called out several times, but no one responded.
Vic possesses Observation Haki, so he naturally heard it, and it seemed difficult for him to do so.
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. Barnett has something to say!"
Vic used the effect of Life Return to make his voice vibrate and radiate outwards.
The sound vibrated directly into everyone's eardrums, and everyone heard Vic's words. The vibration also sent shivers down their spines.
No one spoke again; they all stared at Vic with expressions of utter disbelief. They all recognized the voice—it was Vic's.
The sound waves sent chills down their spines. Vic glared at everyone, startling them into looking at Barnett, Barnett gave a wry smile.
"Listen to me, everyone, the situation is very dangerous. Our warships are in danger of sinking at any moment."
Now we must work together to get the warships out of this area.
We can no longer use sails; we have to row by hand to leave this area.
We all need to participate, men and women paired up, divided into two shifts, taking turns rowing.
"We don't even know how big this area is. With our physical strength, can we hold out until we leave here?" said Angelina, the intelligence team leader.
"No problem, Abel. Those of you in the cooking class shouldn't get involved. You just prepare the food and replenish everyone's energy later."
Demi, your medical team doesn't need to participate either. You need to be on standby at all times to prevent anyone from getting injured.
They also need to give massages to the rowers who are being replaced, so that their muscles can relax as quickly as possible.
We don't know how long the rowing will continue, so it may have to be done indefinitely. Therefore, the rowers' physical condition is very important.
Phoebe, send someone to keep an eye on the Log Pose and make sure the warship doesn't veer off course. Going in circles in a storm is a death sentence.
"One person from the shipwright team will take the helm and coordinate the course; the rest is up to me. Is everyone okay?"
Barnett had regained his composure and was organizing things logically.
"No problem!!!"
Everyone agreed that they had done what they were supposed to do, and the others would just have to row the boat and then adjust their coordination a little.
The warships had already started moving, but the wind and rain were also getting stronger, occasionally accompanied by flashes of lightning.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, no longer like rain, but flowing down like a stream.
A massive waterspout had formed a kilometer behind the ship, which Vic had already sensed with his Observation Haki.
Fortunately, the waterspout didn't chase after the ship; it simply spun and grew larger in place.
Three hours had passed, Barnett told everyone to take turns, so they wouldn't exhaust themselves all at once.
Those who were hungry went to the kitchen to get food, while those who weren't hungry were enjoying massages from the medical team.
Vic was also enjoying Rebecca's massage, but Rebecca didn't want anyone else to massage Vic.
The group of female students around her were all staring at Vic, and she was very uneasy with those looks!
