After receiving a massage, Barnett would use his Devil Fruit powers in the cabin to help everyone recover their strength.
Yes, Barnett's Devil Fruit is Paramecia, the Replenish-Replenish Fruit, which can replenish various deficiencies in a person.
Of course, the specifics are still related to his development. Right now, he can only replenish his body fluids, basic nutrition, help minor wounds heal, and maintain his physical strength.
As for what might be developed in the future, that's hard to say; in any case, it's a support-type Devil Fruit.
This was also the first time Vic had seen Barnett use his Devil Fruit ability; he could simply place his hand on someone's body.
When used, the palm emits different lights, and the palm is enveloped in the light, making it difficult to see clearly.
Vic had an idea of how to develop this fruit; if it could be developed, it would be a God Level fruit in the support class.
However, the strength of this Devil Fruit user is likely closely related to the Devil Fruit's physical abilities, which is a common problem with many Paramecia Devil Fruit.
Fruits like his own Speed-Speed Fruit and Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit both require immense physical strength to sustain.
Vic's strength is too great, so the Devil Fruit has little effect on him. But as for Barnett, although his strength in the Recruit Camp is not bad, he is far inferior to Vic.
Vic doesn't need Barnett to help him recover. He didn't expend much energy in those few hours; he could hold out for ten days and ten nights.
Time passed, and the rowing students changed several times; now it was Vic's group's turn again.
Vic didn't row at full speed, keeping pace with the others, as he also needed to conserve his energy for unexpected situations.
So he took turns like everyone else. Vic hadn't been paddling for long when he heard screams coming from the side.
"Oh, look! What's that? It's coming!"
The female trainee didn't see it clearly; the Inazuma was only for a moment, and she only saw a huge object not far from the ship.
"It's a waterspout, coming this way! It's huge!"
After another Inazuma, a female student saw it clearly, but the waterspout was terrifyingly large; if the warship were sucked in, it probably wouldn't be visible at all.
Then, fearful and worried discussions arose from the deck, and Vic also sensed it with his Observation Haki.
This waterspout is truly extraordinary; not only is it enormous, but it's also spinning at an extremely high speed, and it's approaching the warship.
The waterspout was too large. The warship was in its path, and at its speed, it couldn't escape the suction force as it approached. The warship would inevitably be pulled in, resulting in the destruction of the ship and the loss of all life.
Knowing there was no time to hesitate, Vic told everyone to row quickly and get to the side of the boat, which was the first place the waterspout would make contact with.
When Vic arrived, Gion was already standing there, staring intently at the waterspout in front of her with a solemn expression. The waterspout was enormous, like a mountain pressing down on the warship.
" Rear Admiral Gion, do you have any ideas on how to deal with this waterspout?" Vic asked Gion.
Gion rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm Marine Admiral? Do you think you can handle a natural disaster like this so easily? I'm just a lowly Rear Admiral, you bastard!"
"I can only try my best to see if I can finish it off with a slash!" Gion said solemnly as she drew her Kompira from her waist.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion unleashed a Sword Gang towards the waterspout. However, the Sword Gang aura was too small compared to the waterspout, and it only created a splash of water on the surface of the waterspout.
Gion was unwilling to give up, and launched several more Sword Gang, but to little effect. The waterspout continued its relentless march toward the warship.
Gion sheathed her Kompira and fell silent. It wasn't that she had given up; judging from her posture, she was preparing to unleash a powerful attack.
Gion, calm and focused, narrowed her large eyes and gazed intently at the waterspout ahead.
" One Sword Style ·Iai- Full Moon "
With Gion unsheathed his Kompira sword, unleashing a streak of light as bright as moonlight.
The speed seemed slow and elegant, but Vic could feel its power; he couldn't underestimate it, as such an attack would also injure him.
Gion had never used it in their previous encounters, perhaps because she couldn't accumulate Sword Qi for such a long time during battle, or perhaps she didn't want to really hurt Vic. Only Gion herself knew the answer.
Full Moon struck the waterspout, slicing a huge gash in half, allowing Inazuma to be seen on the other side of the waterspout.
The waterspout quickly subsided, showing some effect, but not a significant one.
After unleashing this powerful move, Gion appeared noticeably listless, her brows furrowed and her face even paler.
Vic knew she had done her best, and now she could only rely on herself.
Vic placed his hand on the warship and began using his Speed-Speed Fruit ability to accelerate it.
The warship's speed began to increase, doubling, tripling, and finally reaching five times its original speed, which was Vic's current limit.
After all, the warship was too huge, and he was already struggling. Everyone on board was puzzled by the warship's sudden acceleration.
They thought the rowers were working harder, but Gion noticed that Vic's expression had also turned sour.
She didn't know that Vic had eaten Devil Fruit; after all, he was always at sea and kept it a secret very well.
Now, only Rebecca on the ship probably knows what's going on, so she quickly went to where Vic and Gion were.
Seeing Vic's hand resting on the boat, she knew what was going on. She had never seen Vic's face look like that before, except for the battle with Vice Admiral Garp. She knew that Vic was just putting on a brave face.
Vic knew he had reached his limit, but seeing the speed of the waterspout, a quick calculation told him the warship still wouldn't be able to escape.
And that's exactly what happened. The waterspout got closer and closer to the warship, Vic couldn't save it with his Speed-Speed Fruit powers.
Vic stopped wasting his time and withdrew his hand, abandoning the method. He had to find another way.
He could easily escape on his own, but there were so many people on the warship. It wasn't a last resort; he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.
"We have no choice but to try that trick!"
Vic crouched slightly, feet apart, assuming a stance ready to Sword-Drawing Slash and prepare for a slash.
"Is Vic finally getting serious?"
"Go for it, Vic!"
Gion could tell that Vic was preparing to go all out, so Vic stood silently to the side, while Rebecca stood beside him.
As the waterspout drew ever closer, Vic's attacks showed no signs of coming to an end, making the two women very nervous!
Vic's mind was now completely absorbed in the Blood Wither in his hand, and his determination to destroy the waterspout grew stronger and stronger, Vic expression increasingly serious.
As the warship was being pulled to the side by the waterspout, the terrified screams of the trainees could be heard from the ship.
Watching the warship get closer and closer to the waterspout was a scene that was hard to remain calm about, and the students' shouts stirred up Vic's heart.
" One Sword Style: Dragon Slayer "
This was a name Vic instinctively shouted out, in order to cut down the waterspout.
A massive black Sword Gang, carrying Vic's unwavering conviction, cleaved through the torrential rain in the sky, forming a vacuum zone shaped like a Sword Gang aura.
It flew diagonally upwards towards the waterspout, the Sword Gang growing larger and longer as it advanced, slashing towards the sky above the waterspout.
A sword's cry rang out—the sound of Blood Wither being drawn from its sheath. The sound didn't spread until the Sword Gang had flown far away, by which time Sword Gang was already making contact with the waterspout.
In a mere instant, the Sword Gang sliced through the waterspout and soared into the Sword Gang, its influence affecting the winds surrounding the tornado.
In the light of the Inazuma, everyone noticed that the water column, which had remained unchanged after the Sword Gang had passed through the waterspout, was slowly separating.
A slanted upward cut appeared, and the distance between the vertical water columns increased.
The wind field around the water column was affected by the Sword Gang energy. The upper water column, which had been split open, continued to be drawn upwards, while the lower water column had already fallen back into the sea under the influence of gravity.
A breath later, the waterspout crashed into the sea, the waterspout disappeared, and then a giant tsunami struck the ship—the huge wave created by the waterspout entering the sea.
Vic quickly placed his hands on the warship and used his Devil Fruit ability to accelerate the ship. This time, he didn't use his full potential; he only used three times the speed, but it was still faster than the giant waves.
At this moment, the people on the ship had not yet recovered from Vic's Sword Gang.
They saw the enormous black slash, a slash powerful enough to cleave mountains in two, something they had never seen before!
This is already a cataclysmic power; in a few years, this man might be able to cleave the Red Line in two with a single strike! Some people thought.
By this time, Vic was also catching his breath. He was mentally exhausted and had to use his Devil Fruit ability to avoid the tsunami. He was no longer as calm and composed as before.
Gion stared blankly at Vic's profile, her expression vacant, yet her heart was in turmoil!
She wasn't an outsider who didn't understand swordsmanship; she knew what Vic's move represented. If such a move could become a regular occurrence and be used at any time, then he would definitely be Admiral- level fighter!
Vic has already embarked on this path, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will undoubtedly become one of the top swordsmen on the entire ocean!
This is exactly what Gion has been striving for, and today she has finally witnessed it.
The farther away a tsunami is from the point where the water column hits, the less powerful and slower it becomes.
The warships had sailed far enough away to be unaffected.
Vic was also gradually slowing down the warship; he couldn't afford to exhaust himself, or he'd be completely helpless if something unexpected happened.
