Chapter 39 Set Sail
Cap left, and the people on the dock also dispersed with the news. Rebecca took Granny Crane to the old lady's grave to mourn, and then left.
Vic summed up the gains and losses of the battle. His swordsmanship has become stronger, his moves are more suitable for actual combat, and he has eliminated many flashy movements.
The observation Haki has also improved in terms of quick reaction, and the fruit ability has also been newly developed, and the ability can now be used on the sword.
In the future, when you swing your sword and suddenly use the ability of the fruit to accelerate, it will really catch people off guard and be a little hard to defend against. Old man Garp almost suffered a loss from this trick today, and the gain was very good, but his face was a little painful.
"The harvest is not bad. It seems that if you want to make rapid progress, fighting with strong people is one way!" Vic sighed.
"It's a pity that I didn't experience old man Garp's Armament Haki. Do I have to go to the boot camp to learn it? Today, my sword was almost broken by old man Garp. Kendo still needs to be used in conjunction with Armament Haki. Otherwise, I will not be able to deal with those famous masters."
After thinking for a long time, Vic went to the forest and killed a wild beast. He wanted to entertain Granny Crane tonight. Vic didn't expect that Rebecca's family and Granny Crane had such a fate. He got on Cap's ship smoothly. Was this time travel arranged by God?
It is still early now. Akainu and the other two are still vice admirals. If I work hard, I still have hope of becoming admiral of the navy before them. By then, one of them might be squeezed out.
First of all, you have to become a lieutenant admiral, then you have to be eligible for promotion to admiral, and finally you have to reach a certain level of personal strength before you can become a navy admiral.
Vic believed that with his strength, it would be no problem for him to become a lieutenant general. The main thing was to accumulate military merits, and then work hard to improve his combat effectiveness and wait for the position of general to be released.
In the evening, Rebecca and Grandma Crane came back, both of them had red eyes. Vic didn't say much, he had already prepared dinner. Crane already knew that Vic was invited by Cap, so he didn't invite him either. The three of them finished the meal in a dull manner.
Grandma Crane slept at Rebecca's house at night, and Vic returned to his own home to rest.
While waiting for Garp, Vic was not idle. He wandered around the island, asking people about rare metals and ores. He wanted to forge two better swords. Without the Armament Haki, he was a little afraid to use his full strength, which would become his current obstacle.
Fortunately, I still have time. I just need to forge it before graduating from the elite training camp. It should be easier to find rare metals or even meteorite materials when I join the navy.
I walked around the island but didn't find any rare materials. Come to think of it, if these good materials were so easy to find, there wouldn't be so few famous swords.
Rebecca has been taking Grandma He to travel around the island these days to relax and take off her military uniform. He is just like an ordinary old lady with a kind smile on her face. She eats the island's delicacies and looks at the different scenery.
Victor didn't dare to develop the ability of the devil fruit blatantly. He could only use his brain when meditating. He thought about everything related to speed, but he had only been eating the fruit for a short time and needed to accumulate experience. Now his speed could already have a stable effect on external objects. His darts are now very fast, and this can also be a means of attack in the future.
Vic doesn't know the limit of the Speed Fruit. If it can speed up a hundred times, that would be unimaginable. As long as your speed is fast enough, even if Katakuri has the Observation Haki that can foresee the future, can you react?
You are hit before you can use your Armament Haki, or you want to dodge but cannot avoid the attack. At that time, foreseeing the future will be useless. It depends on whose Armament Haki is stronger and more lasting, and whose attack power is stronger and more intensive. You can only passively defend, but I can fight or retreat.
Just like the Momo Fruit, which can make an object a hundred times larger and its speed a hundred times faster, my own Speedy Fruit is a bit like a lower-level fruit of the Momo Fruit.
However, the ability of the Momo Fruit seems to be able to be applied only to objects, and they must be touched. It has no effect on oneself or other creatures. This greatly limits the ability of this fruit.
The ability of his Speed-Speed Fruit can be used on himself, and he doesn't know its limit yet, so it's too early to say it's a lower-level fruit.
A week later, Cap finally came back, and Vic was about to leave the island. He sighed, not knowing if he would have the chance to come back in the future.
Of course, it would be best not to come back. I am a navy and my responsibility is to catch pirates. If I offend those pirates and my birthplace is known, this island will be in danger.
For example, Pepper, who couldn't beat Garp, took revenge on his grandson. And Golden Lion wanted to destroy the entire East China Sea in order to take revenge on Roger. Zephyr was even more powerful. He wanted to destroy the New World in order to take revenge on the pirates.
So Vic probably won't come back in the future, and he also warned the mayor not to publicize the two of them and to keep a low profile in the future.
"That brat Dragon disappeared again after sending Luffy back, and I caught my beloved Iron Fist." Garp complained after seeing Crane.
"Luffy? Monkey D. Luffy? Is that your grandson's name?" Tsuru asked.
"Hahaha, yes, my grandson is really cute. I must train him to be an excellent marine in the future, hahaha." Garp laughed heartlessly again, as if he didn't care so much about his son's affairs.
"Where's that kid Vic? We are about to set off back to the Navy Headquarters. Where is he?" Garp asked He when he didn't see Vic.
"They went to say goodbye to the people in the town and will be here soon." He said calmly.
After a while, Vic and Rebecca appeared in their sight, followed by a large crowd of people, all of whom came to see them off. They were very pleased to know that Vic and Rebecca had become navy men, but the safety of the island could not be guaranteed in the future.
Vic talked about this with Mayor Andre. It is not a long-term solution to always rely on others. One still has to rely on self-reliance. He asked the mayor to find the navy at the base and ask the navy to help train the security team. Andre had no choice. The patron saint was leaving, so he could only do this.
Vic and Rebecca boarded Garp's ship, and the dog-headed warship slowly left the dock. The two waved to the crowd on the dock. They didn't know when they would have the chance to come back after this separation, maybe twenty years later...
Garp's warships are very safe, and almost no pirates dare to come and seek death. The warships will occasionally land on the island to pick up some outstanding marines recommended by the branch to go to the Navy Headquarters for further training.
They also went to Rogue Town. Vic walked around the island but didn't see any trace of Smoker. He thought Smoker had already arrived at the Naval Headquarters. Vic was originally planning to recommend Smoker, but when he didn't see anyone, he just looked around, bought some things he needed, and left.
The dog-headed warship went to Upside Down Mountain. At that time, the technology of seastone was not very mature. Vic saw the majesty of the Red Earth Continent for the first time, and it went straight into the clouds without seeing the top.
Riding on the rising ocean current, the warship came above the clouds. The temperature here was very low, and the splashing water would immediately freeze into ice crystals and fall back into the water. It was as thrilling as a roller coaster, and some recruits were almost scared to death.
Vic admired these masterpieces calmly. Was it man-made? Was it the power of nature? He was not strong enough to pursue these secrets, but he felt that such a layout was very strange and too deliberate. Of course, this was designed by Oda, but how did it come into being in this world?
After passing the Upside-Down Mountain, the Twin Capes were below. Vic didn't see Kurokas and didn't know where he went.
The warship did not stop and rushed straight past. Vic just kept using his Observation Haki and did not do any other training. He was just admiring the scenery along the way. He was finally passive for once and did not have to actively think about how to act. Someone would naturally take care of the operation of the warship, and he could watch or practice freely. Someone also prepared food for him, and he was very comfortable.
