Chapter 72 Red-haired Shanks Robs on the Road
Seeing the figure leaving, Vic quickly took the two women to the bar, Xia Qi's Rip-off Bar located at 13GR.
That's right! Vic was going to find Xia Qi, the intelligence expert, and cast a net. He believed that there would always be a net that could catch the fish he wanted.
After entering the bar, the three of them sat at the bar.
"Rebecca, Wendy, I have something I forgot to report to the class. I need to go and report it now.
Have a drink here now, don't run around, wait for me to come back!" Vic said to the two women.
"Well, go quickly and come back soon, we still have to go to the amusement park later!"
Vic nodded, then left the bar with a look from Xia Qi that said, "I know what you're going to do."
An hour later, Vic returned to the bar, his clothes a little torn, but he was not seriously injured.
Vic sat down at the bar as Xia Qi looked surprised.
"Madam, give me a glass of good wine. We have plenty of money!" Vic looked at Xia Qi with a smile.
Rebecca and Wendy had already drunk their fill and were looking at Vic with resentment on their faces.
He suddenly left the two of them and caused them to drink their drinks while being questioned by the lady boss about everything.
All the information of the two young girls who were inexperienced in the world was obtained, and their identities as new recruits in the navy were also known.
Vic knew that Rebecca and Xia Qi had no ability to resist, but he would not hurt them.
Vic just saw an interesting person, then an idea came to his mind, and then he hurriedly left the bar.
"Hey handsome boy, your wine is here. It's the best we have here, haha!" Xia Qi served Vic the wine with a smile on her face.
Vic took a sip from the glass, and his face suddenly turned ugly. Wasn't this the Jiuqu wine that Smoker brought to the cabin? The cheapest stuff.
Vic thought of a possibility that Xia Qi was planning to blackmail him. His face looked a little unhappy. Could it be that her observation Haki had sensed what had just happened? Vic guessed.
"Madam, isn't your buddy Lao Lei here? I heard he has great coating skills."
Vic regained his composure and asked about Rayleigh, warning the woman and telling her that the navy had already learned of Rayleigh's presence.
In fact, this is already a tacit understanding. As long as Rayleigh doesn't do anything naughty, the navy will not care about him.
After all, he is a top-notch expert, and if things go wrong, he will suffer heavy losses.
"Oh, Lao Lei, maybe he went to gamble, or maybe he went to meet a young girl, I'm not sure, haha!"
Xia Qi said without changing her expression.
What a seasoned man! Vic sighed.
"It's like this, Madam Boss, I heard that you also sell intelligence here. I have some information I want to consult. I wonder if you would do this business?"
Vic didn't get angry, he just smiled.
"Do it, why not? It makes money. Tell me what you think."
Xia Qi looked calm, as if she already knew Vic's purpose.
"It's like this, I want to know the location of Yongshan Black Gold. How much do you think it costs?" Vic said seriously.
"This news is free, it's like a free drink.
But the glass of wine you just had is the best I have. It costs 2000 million Baileys.
Also, I'll treat these two ladies to drinks. Come pick them up in a month.
I don’t care whether there is any specific news or not, haha!”
Xia Qi rested her elbows on the bar, her face supported by her hands, a cigarette in her mouth, and looked at Vic with a smile on her face.
"Okay, this glass of wine is indeed worth the price. I'll come back in a month to get the information!" Vic replied with a smile.
Vic drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, left 2000 million berries, and then left the bar with Rebecca.
He believed in Xia Qi's ability. Since he had promised Vic, there would most likely be results.
At least she had some information about this before, and now she just needed to dig deeper. Vic was also confident in Xia Qi's credibility.
Vic led the way with two newbies with question marks on their heads.
It was the direction to Area 30 amusement park. Vic was now going to fulfill his promise to Rebecca. As for what happened in the bar, he didn't want to explain it now.
Just when Vic reached the connecting bridge between area 20 and area 30, Vic and his two companions were blocked by three people.
The leader was a man with red hair, a sturdy appearance and a yellow straw hat.
He was a head shorter than Vic, had a black cape on his back, a rapier on his waist, and wore large slippers.
The most noticeable thing is the three long and thin scars on the left eye.
Looking at the scars you can tell that the battle was extremely fierce. If he had not retreated in time, his left eye would have been lost. These three scars are very eye-catching.
Two people followed behind him. One of them carried a spear on his back. He had long black hair, a muscular body, and eyes full of wisdom.
The other one was a big fat man who didn't even know he was fat. He was still eating meat. He had a big round face, wore goggles, a white and green striped short-sleeved shirt, and a flintlock pistol on his waist. He looked like a foodie.
Before Vic and his two companions got close to the connecting bridge, they were stared at by three people, especially the leader, who had resentment in his eyes, as if Vic owed him a lot of money.
"I planted this tree, I opened this road. If you want to pass this road, you need to leave money to buy your way through.
Hand over all your money, or we will force you to leave!"
The straw hat leader shouted loudly, but his tone sounded a bit nonchalant. The two people behind him had no expression on their faces, except for their mouth corners twitching.
This scene is very common in Shampoo and soon attracted some people who came to watch the fun.
"Don't even think about it. If you want my money, just step over my dead body. Come on!" Vic replied loudly, his tone full of the heroic spirit of refusing to surrender even in death.
Rebecca and Wendy were both stunned. This picture didn't seem right. Was Vic such a tough person before?
It’s a bit hard to understand, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t understand. The two of them have already drawn their swords against each other, and the power is incredible!
Although the man in the straw hat was the only one attacking on the opposite side, he was already on par with Vic. He was also proficient in Haki and his swordsmanship was not weak either.
This fight was really sudden. They started fighting just after a few words. It felt a bit abrupt, but since Vic had already started fighting with others, the two women couldn't help but worry.
The fight between the two has attracted a lot of onlookers. It is rare to see swordsmen of this level fighting each other.
The swordsmanship of the two men has far surpassed the level of swordsmen. The power of each strike is suffocating and full of oppression.
The huge blows went back and forth, and the venue was destroyed beyond recognition.
"The one wearing the straw hat is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates in the New World, Red Hair Shanks.
That's a pirate group that developed in the New World, how come they appear in the first half of the Grand Line?"
"I heard that Red Hair was defeated in the New World some time ago. Is he escaping back to the first half of the Grand Line?"
"What are you thinking? He just came back from a duel with a guy named Hawkeye. How could a man like him be defeated?"
"Yes, he is a man with a powerful Conqueror's Haki, a person with the qualities of a king!"
"These two are so strong that they cut off the island. Fortunately, they were quite restrained, otherwise the island would have sunk."
......
Vic didn't have the heart to pay attention to the exclamations and discussions of others. His battle with the red-haired man was already very intense.
The two have equal swordsmanship. In terms of Haki, Vic's Observation Haki is stronger, but his Armament Haki is weaker.
But Vic had greater speed, strength, and endurance, so the two were evenly matched.
Vic is now fighting Red-Haired Shanks with Armament Haki wrapped around his double swords, after all, his own swords are too low in level.
Shanks is now fighting him with the supreme sword Griffin, and the sword is not yet wrapped with armament domineering.
Vic is now using his powerful speed to attack Shanks frantically.
Vic spun at high speed like a spinning top with a black blade and crashed into Shanks.
Shanks could only touch Griffin and leave some sparks. Vic's strength and speed were greater than Shanks.
After a few hits, Shanks had found a way to deal with it, jumping from the air and hitting the center.
Vic was prepared for this, and a black knife was waiting above.
Shanks still returned empty-handed. Vic stopped spinning and a black sword energy flew out, flying towards Shanks at a high speed.
Shanks couldn't afford to be careless, because Vic's slashing speed was faster than his, and Shanks could only use Griffin to block it.
Shanks' slash was a domineering attack, and Vic did not dare to be careless and could only use his huge strength to intercept it.
"It's amazing! If someone gets close to it, they will be chopped into pieces immediately!"
"This is really a life-and-death fight. It's so intense!"
On the battlefield, both men were very fast, jumping to attack and counterattack in various places, and everyone could see the scene of two people's three swords crossing in several places at the same time.
Of course, these are all afterimages. The two men's real bodies have been moving at high speed and have no fixed place. The intensive metal collision sounds coming from the field can show how fierce the battle is.
