Chapter 71 News about Yongshan Black Gold
Half of the second month in boot camp has passed.
During this month's vacation, Vic plans to go to the Chabaoti Archipelago to collect information about Yongshan Black Gold.
Before that, Vic planned to give Rebecca and Wendy a good training.
Rebecca hasn't made much progress in her observation skills in such a long time, and Wendy also has a bruised face every day.
Wendy's sensitivity is still good, but she has been practicing Haki for too short a time.
Vic wants Rebecca's swordsmanship to improve further and reach the level of cutting through iron.
But Rebecca was still missing something, and Vic didn't know what it was, so he could only exploit Rebecca madly during sparring.
Vic wanted Rebecca to experience the feeling of being in a desperate situation, to see if he could make her realize the power of cutting iron.
Rebecca does physical exercise every day, so her physical condition is very good, at least not worse than Zoro in Alabasta.
All the conditions are met, but there is something missing that I cannot comprehend.
Vic has been thinking about the cause of this problem for a while now, and it’s really a headache!
Everyone is different, which makes it hard to figure out. Vic has no choice but to fight Rebecca once a day, and practice on his own the rest of the time.
……
The holiday season soon arrived. Vic said hello to Andrew and boarded a ship to the Chabaoti Archipelago with Rebecca and Wendy.
"Vic, are you planning to take me to the amusement park?"
Rebecca asked Vic expectantly on the boat.
Wendy was also very curious. When she landed in the Sabaody Archipelago before, she really didn't dare to run around.
There are human traffickers everywhere, so I have never been out there, so I am very curious about the amusement park.
"Ahem, this depends on fate. This Shampoo Land is not a good place. I will try my best to fulfill your little wish!"
Vic really felt that Shampoo was not a good place. It had always been synonymous with chaos.
Although he is quite powerful now, there lives a Pirate King's vice-captain, Pluto Rayleigh, on this island!
This person is of the same generation as old man Garp, and his fighting ability should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, Pluto Rayleigh is now a retired old man and generally does not go against the navy.
It’s just that the Sabaody Archipelago is the gathering point for the first half of the Grand Line, and all pirates who want to go to the New World will gather here.
Occasionally, supernova-level pirates would pass by here.
However, with Vic's strength, he is naturally not afraid of the supernova, but the strength of the two women is a bit worrying.
Therefore, we must be careful when going to Shampoo Land. If we encounter some strange superhuman ability user who directly controls the two of us, it will be very troublesome.
Vic and his two companions arrived at the Chambord naval base peacefully.
Vic led the three people to the center of the island without stopping for a moment. After all, vacation time was limited and it was important to get business done.
Vic thought of the intelligence collector from last time, Ben, and decided to go and ask him first.
Vic led the two through area 0 and entered area 10.
Area 0 is still the same as before, with a large number of human traffickers keeping watch.
But after seeing Vic and Rebecca, their faces changed and no one dared to follow them.
Vic also noticed these changes and guessed that he already had some fame in these human traffickers' organization. Ordinary lower-level people would not dare to come and take action. At the very least, a senior cadre would be needed to do so.
Vic ignored these people as long as they didn't provoke him.
He was in a hurry now and didn't bother to deal with them.
Vic went directly to No. 10 Feixiang Street in Area 78. This was the address that Ben had left.
After arriving here, Vic found that this was a place similar to a hotel, with a large front desk and many servants.
Vic took a quick look and knew that this place was similar to an information center, and many intelligence collectors lived here.
Because there will be some information commissions posted here that require certain information, and there will be corresponding rewards.
Intelligence collectors mainly make a living from this, and this place is also a place where good and bad people mix together.
All forces have spies here, all of whom come to collect intelligence. Vic knows that this is not a good place and does not want to stay here for long.
Vic found a servant to ask about Ben's situation. The servant asked Vic to wait for a moment and immediately took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed.
Then not long after, the little man Ben appeared in the hall.
Ban was surprised to see Vic, he didn't expect they would meet so soon.
It was just a casual chat at the time, but I didn't expect that he would become a repeat customer so soon. Vic didn't bother to be polite with him and directly took the man away from this place.
Vic found a bar and sat opposite Ben. Rebecca and Wendy sat on either side. After ordering some drinks, Vic got straight to the point.
"Ban, you are well-informed. I need you to help me check something, and you will definitely benefit from it." Vic went straight to the point.
"Mr. Vick, let me first tell you that I am just a small intelligence officer and I am not capable of investigating many things. Please tell me and I will do my best to investigate."
Ben knew that Vic was very powerful, and was afraid that he would force him to investigate something incredible. His little shoulders couldn't bear that, so he could only take precautions first.
"It's not a big deal. You're just casting a net here. I don't mean to rely on you completely. Just do your best.
I want to know if there has been any news about Yongshan Black Gold in recent years." Vic said without much concern.
Ban breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, Yongshan Black Gold was just a relatively niche piece of information and did not involve any major secrets.
He had indeed heard of it before, and after recalling it for a while, he took a sip of wine and said:
"This Yongshan Black Gold appeared once a few years ago. It was found in a country's treasury.
It's just that this country was robbed by a pirate group, and the whereabouts of the Eishan Black Gold became unknown.
I still need to check it in detail, Mr. Vick, please wait for my news." Ben talked about his memories.
Vic's eyes lit up after hearing this. It turned out that one thing may brighten up another. What old man Cap didn't know, a little intelligence agent had heard of. It was a pleasant surprise.
"Well, go back and check it out. The more detailed the better. Also, don't miss any new information about Yongshan Metal.
If your own channels are not available, you can also check from your information trading platform, and you will not lose money. "
After Vic finished speaking, he took out 500 million Baileys and gave them to Ben.
"Use this money to help me collect intelligence first. If you find accurate information, there will be follow-up."
Vic then added, placing the money in front of Ben.
Ban swallowed his saliva. For a low-level intelligence officer like Ban, this was already a huge sum of money. He would have to work for a long time.
At this moment, he was very excited. His success depended on this one investment. He decided to do his best to complete the task assigned by Vic.
"Okay, Mr. Vic, leave it to me. How can I contact you later?" Ban asked for the contact information.
"Well, I'm a new recruit in the navy. I don't have any specific contact information right now. Please write to me.
Don't write the details, just say there is news, and send the letter to the naval base in area 60, I can receive it."
Vic thought for a moment and said that he really didn't have a Den Den Mushi now. New recruits were not allowed to bring these communication devices to the barracks, and Vic had no choice.
Ben was also surprised to hear that Vic was from the Navy, as he had never revealed this identity before.
With such strength, his future in the navy is limitless. He works in intelligence and is very clear about this, so he is even more respectful to Vic.
"Okay, Mr. Vick, I'll go check it for you first. Please wait for my letter."
Ben said respectfully, and only left after Vic nodded.
"Vic, aren't you afraid that he will take your money and run away?" Rebecca asked.
"Silly girl, is it worth it for such a small amount of money? He also knows my strength. Now I have revealed my identity as a navy.
Most people won't run away unless they are stupid. Besides, 500 million berries are nothing to me. It doesn't matter if I lose them!"
Vic rubbed Rebecca's head and said, Rebecca gave an embarrassed smile, with a look of enjoyment on her face.
Wendy stared at the intimacy between the two!
Ben had left, and there was no need for Vic to stay here anymore, so he paid the bill and left the pub with the two of them.
More sources of information will be more reliable. Vic plans to look at many sources and find another one to learn more about.
Vic led the two women to the most chaotic area No. 20 and the illegal zone.
The further we walked forward, the heavier the atmosphere became. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and the burnt smell of fire.
There were still many screams appearing in Vic's observation Haki.
It is indeed a lawless area, with battles taking place every day. Without a certain level of strength, it is difficult to survive here.
Vic also encountered several waves of gangs attacking him, but they were all killed by Rebecca. Vic kept moving in that direction.
Just as they were about to reach their destination, a smile appeared on Vic's lips. It was indeed him. That person actually came here today!
