How long has it been?

"Just one breath, what's wrong? How come you have two bowls of steaming hot buckwheat noodles in your hand? Where did they come from?"

"Hmm! It's nothing, I bought it for you guys, eat up!"

After Vic entered a Dimensional Space, he found that it was similar to the space behind Blueno's Door-Door Fruit. That space overlapped with the real space, like different dimensions of the same world!

Vic flew through this space for a long time, traveling a great distance, and arrived directly in Wano Country. He appeared in front of a small soba noodle shop, and before the shop owner could notice him, he dropped off a gold coin, picked up two steaming bowls of soba noodles, and re-entered that Dimensional Space.

He then made his way back at a leisurely pace, only stopping when he saw the small boat on the sea in the real world. He noticed that the boat's location was not much different from when he left, and even Olvia and Hancock's positions and postures were unchanged. After observing for a while, he finally revealed himself!

Realizing he had only been gone for a breath, Vic had some guesses in his mind, and he also gained a new understanding of teleportation abilities.

The Dimensional Space he entered was not exactly the same as the Dimensional Space behind the Door-Door Fruit. The time flow in the Door-Door Fruit's alternate dimension was exactly the same as in the real world!

However, in the alternate dimension that Vic entered before, time hardly passed. It was somewhat similar to the alternate dimension in the Rainbow Mist. No matter how long you lived inside, you would come out at the exact moment you entered!

Vic had spent several days traveling back and forth in this alternate dimension, but when he returned, he found that only a single breath had passed in the real world. This single breath was probably because he had appeared in Wano Country and bought two bowls of soba noodles, and the soba noodles in his hand were still piping hot!

Another point is that the distance of teleportation is not related to the range of Observation Haki, but only to the user's stamina. Yes, activities and travel in this alternate dimension will consume the user's stamina, just like how Law's use of the Op-Op Fruit consumes a lot of stamina!

The stamina consumed by teleportation is the same as in the real world, not as exaggerated as Law's. When Van Augur used teleportation to escape Dressrosa with Blackbeard, it wasn't Observation Haki that limited their escape distance, but rather his stamina!

This is why Vic was able to injure two people across the dimensional barrier. Firstly, Vic's attack was indeed powerful, and even spatial barriers could hardly completely block it.

Another point is that the two of them hurriedly entered the other-dimensional world, right near Vic's attack point, instead of instantly appearing in another place to block the attack!

These are the results of Vic's trip. To be honest, Vic felt it was a bit low-class. It was completely different from the high-tech teleportation he had imagined. He actually had to travel by himself!

Although time doesn't flow in the Alternate Dimensional Space, and your comings and goings appear to outsiders like real teleportation, only the user knows how busy they actually are!

While others remain still, he runs around in Alternate Dimensional Space. Others think he's incredibly elusive and elegant when fighting, but only you know that you can't miss a single step when moving left or right in other dimensions. Others think he's incredibly fast and convenient when traveling, but only you know that you're running so fast in other dimensions that your legs are about to break!

Although it's a bit basic, Vic knows that this is just the most fundamental application of the Law of Space. When he fully comprehends the Law of Space, he will definitely be able to achieve the kind of high-level teleportation he envisions!

Even with its current basic applications, it is of great help to Vic. The fact that there is no flow of time in the Alternate Dimensional Space alone has many applications!

Especially during combat, you can study the enemy's weaknesses in Alternate Dimensional Space. Since the enemy is stationary and you have plenty of time, once you find the weakness, you can simply appear in the correct position and make your move!

Another point is his assassination skills. For a powerhouse like Vic, he is truly the king of assassinations. How many people can escape his clutches?

He could enter the Alternate Dimensional Space directly from Wano Country, then sneak into Mary Geoise. Everyone in Mary Geoise is relatively forbidden, so wouldn't he be able to pick and choose whoever he wanted to attack? Perhaps only someone with top-tier Observation Haki could have received a warning as soon as Vic emerged from the alternate dimension!

Afterwards, Vic tried twice more, bringing Olvia and Hancock into the Alternate Dimensional Space. However, once the two women entered the other dimension, it was as if their consciousness had been lost. They were still alive, but they just wouldn't move, and no matter how you moved them, you couldn't wake them up!

Vic searched the two women for a while and found that he couldn't wake them up. He then realized that only he, as an ability user, could move freely in the alternate dimension.

Any "foreign object" that enters through his Devil Fruit ability, whether biological or non-biological, will retain the state it was in at the moment of entry, just like those two bowls of still piping hot soba noodles!

In other words, in the eyes of the two women, only a moment had passed between them; Vic had truly teleported them.

However, in Vic's eyes, it was as if he carried the two women a long way through the alternate dimension before returning to the real world. Only he knew how this teleportation happened, but in the eyes of others, it was still incredibly impressive!

"Eat up, this is Wano Country cuisine. I still need to work on my newly acquired Devil Fruit ability, you don't need to pay attention to me!"

After giving instructions to the two women, Vic sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the Law of Space. Vic knew that his previous application of the Laws was only the most basic part of the Law of Space, namely, traversing other interlocking dimensions.

A truly perfect Law of Space cannot merely have a supporting effect; it must possess extremely powerful destructive force. The saying "Time reigns supreme in space" is not just a saying. Can an ability that can only be used for traveling and escaping truly make one a king? That would only make one a king of escape, and would have nothing to do with true power!

Because Vic is inherently strong, both in terms of physical development and comprehension of Laws, he was able to comprehend the newly acquired Law of Space very smoothly and quickly – that's experience!

Although the Laws are different, they lead to the same conclusion in many ways. It is much faster for a God Realm expert to comprehend a Laws than for a novice. Just like a martial arts master who has lost all his skills and has to start over, it is definitely easier than before!

Moreover, Vic never considered this as a teleportation ability, but rather as a way to comprehend the Law of Space. Since he was going to set a target, he decided to set a large one and just hang someone whose lifespan was equivalent to that of a certain time!

Even if teleportation is just a small branch of the Law of Space, Vic will use this small branch to climb the entire tree of the Law of Space!
