Chapter 10: The Pirates Surrender, the Town Becomes Famous
When Bradrick saw Bert take action, he also broke free from the rope and laughed, which shocked the mayor and the security team.
"Captain, help me!"
"Boss, save me!"
"Boss, help us untie the rope!"
……
The minions shouted loudly.
Vic said to the mayor, "Uncle Andre, please step back first. Leave this matter to us. If we get too close, we might get hurt."
After Vic finished speaking, he walked towards Bradrick and stood three meters away.
"Don't come over here again, or that little girl will die. I'm Iron Fist Bradrick with a bounty of 500 million Baileys. I have killed 55 people like you." Bradrick shouted loudly.
This is a man who is good at talking. He says he is not afraid, but he is actually scared to death. He can't throw a cannonball with his bare hands, which is why he has to take a hostage.
The younger brother behind me was still shouting and yelling noisily.
Vic was a little excited when he heard there was a bounty. He turned to Bert and asked with a smile, "Oh, how much is your head worth?"
Andre and others were a little confused. They didn't know the seriousness of the matter by asking these questions at this time.
Seeing Vic's smile, Bert's calves cramped a little, but he still said toughly: "My bounty is 300 million Baileys. The number of people who die in my hands is no... no less than the captain's."
"So the two of you together are worth 800 million Baileys. Interesting." Vic said with a smile.
Then he said with murderous intent: "Do it."
The moment the shout rang out, Rebecca's sword had already been unsheathed, so fast that it was invisible. Only a flash of light passed by, and Bert's arm holding the sword had separated from his body.
It was not until the arm fell to the ground and bounced twice that Burt's scream was heard, miserable and piercing.
It was all a matter of fighting. Under Vic's pressure, Rebecca's sword was now very fast. If it wasn't fast, she wouldn't be able to withstand one of Vic's attacks, so Rebecca practiced her sword skills so fast that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Bert covered his wound and rolled on the ground. He had lost his ability to fight. But how could he cover such a wound? Blood splattered, staining the ground red.
Except for Vic and Rebecca, everyone present opened their mouths wide, their eyes bulged out, and looked shocked. This was too fast. The bounty was 300 million Baileys, and that was it, that was it. This was just the treatment of an ordinary passerby.
Vic looked at Bradrick with a smile.
"You said your name is Iron Fist. I wonder if a certain old man will fly over and beat you to death if he knows your name. In the East China Sea, you're called Iron Fist, hehehe."
……
In Sengoku's office at the Navy Headquarters, an old man who was grabbing senbei sneezed and immediately looked at Sengoku, "Sengoku, you see, I have a slight cold. Please give me the senbei. I will be fine after eating it, hahaha."
……
"Let's practice, 'Iron Fist' Bradrick, and see how powerful your iron fist is, hehe," Vic teased.
Looking at Vic's smile, Bradrick felt a chill on his back and regretted coming to this island. He slowly retreated, ready to let his younger brother get beaten while he took the opportunity to escape.
But before he could turn around and take a step, Vic appeared behind him in an instant and kicked him more than ten meters away, leaving a trench on the ground with his face.
After kicking the man, Vic slowly walked towards Bradrick, who was lying on the ground in a daze and shaking his head.
"There's no use running. You're not as fast as me. If you want to escape, you can only defeat me." Vic laughed.
Bradrick staggered to his feet, his face covered with blood. He steadied himself and looked at Vic. Seeing the shocking murderous intent in Vic's eyes, he was horrified.
Yelling, "Don't kill me, I'll do anything you want me to do, just don't kill me!!!"
"Boring!"
Vic had originally planned to kill him in the fight, but it was a bit hard for him to kill someone who didn't resist, just like killing a pig.
Vic came into this world and killed many beasts and fish, but had never actually killed a human being.
If he met someone from the Claw Pirates this time, he would definitely not show mercy. Vic beat Bradrick into a pig's head, searched him and tied him up tightly, and of course there was also Bert, the one-armed man.
Vic didn't care about what happened afterwards and stayed at the dock with Rebecca. He knew that Andre would take care of the follow-up matters and send the reward to them.
Before Vic left, Andre praised the two and asked them to continue working hard to protect their home. Andre and the security team left, and Vic and Rebecca stayed at the beach.
"Rebecca, what did I tell you? You must always be vigilant. Pirates are despicable and can do anything." Vic said seriously, "Even if you are powerful, you can't let your guard down. Devil Fruit users have all kinds of abilities, which are hard to guard against. If you let your guard down, you may get caught."
"I know. I won't do it again next time. Hehe." Rebecca stuck out her tongue.
"Now our strength exceeds that of ordinary pirates in the East China Sea. I estimate that we are about the same as the pirates with a bounty of 1500 million berries. Above us are special races and those with devil fruit abilities." Vic analyzed.
"Your words are only equivalent to about 800 million Baileys, so there is still a lot of room for improvement. Don't ignore the pirates just because they are weak this time. You can't deal with most of the Devil Fruit users."
"We'll stay on this island for a few years, and once there's a naval base on the island I'll take you on some adventures out to sea."
"Okay, we have a deal!" Rebecca was very excited and curious about the outside world.
Vic told Rebecca a lot of things about the sea, which he learned from watching anime in his previous life. Of course, reality is definitely different from anime. This is a complete world. From what you can see in the newspaper, you can see that the people at the bottom are all leeks, it just depends on who comes to reap the spoils.
After a while, the captain of the cargo ship returned with his crew. Buck arranged someone to deliver messages at any time, so the pirates were defeated and the captain rushed back as soon as he got the news.
Captain Buck said to Vic enthusiastically: "Vic, thanks to you, otherwise my ship and cargo would not be saved. You are so powerful that you defeated a pirate group by yourself."
"Vic, come on our ship, I'll pay you a high price," Captain Buck said sincerely.
"No, I'm still young, and the town can't do without us right now." Vic said calmly without thinking.
"I'm here just to tell you that your ship is intact, but I have used up all the shells. You can ask the mayor to reimburse you for the shells, and then go to the town to get more."
"Oh, it's okay. You don't need to reimburse. It's not much. It's included in the loss cost. We will buy more shells after we unload the cargo."
"Okay, whatever you want. We'll leave first and you guys go ahead with your work." Vic said and left with Rebecca.
With Vic around, Rebecca usually speaks less and makes fewer decisions, and the sword in her hand changes her personality.
Seeing Vic and the others leave, Captain Buck shook his head with regret. If they had been on board, their safety would have been guaranteed and I could rest assured.
Vic and Rebecca returned to the forest and began their boring and tiring practice.
The cargo ship left the next day, and news of the pirate attack yesterday had spread. Everyone knew that Victor had taken down an entire pirate group by himself.
On the streets...
"Have you heard that Vic, the son of the Orens family, the mayor's former secretary, and Rebecca defeated a pirate group by themselves?"
"I heard Vic did it all by himself."
"It was Vic who sank the boat with the rocks he threw."
"I heard it was sunk by a cannonball thrown by bare hands."
"No, the boat was made by cutting it in half with one sword."
……
The streets were bustling with people talking about pirates and Vic, as well as Rebecca and the security team.
In the next few days, Vic and Rebecca became completely famous. Everyone in the town knew that they were extremely powerful and could protect the town from harm.
The townspeople were very respectful to the two of them, with admiration in their eyes, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. They went out less often and focused on their practice.
