Chapter 98 1 Peace
When the pig farm keepers arrived at the secret room, their benefactor was nowhere to be seen, and only half a box of gold coins was left inside.
This was left by Victor specifically to help them improve their lives, not thrown away because he couldn't take it.
These people have been working for Adrian here for free for so long, and they really don’t know what their living conditions at home have become. Leaving some money behind is also a guarantee!
Vic was also afraid that keeping too much might turn out to be a bad thing. If everyone got some, at least life would be a little better.
At the tavern, the treasure recorder had not woken up yet, and the beast-taming ring on Yves's neck had disappeared. He knew that it was that man who saved him!
The man knocked the servant unconscious in front of him. The beast-taming ring had no effect on him at all. It was all just a disguise.
Now that the beast-controlling ring has disappeared, it also foreshadows Adrian's defeat. That bounty hunter will definitely take Adrian to the naval base to exchange it for money, right?
Adrian will never appear in his life again, the dark cloud over his head has dissipated!
As long as he killed the servant, he could pretend that nothing had happened. The country would not suffer any loss, but he himself might have to live with the secret and guilt of tonight.
On an ordinary night, a stranger indirectly saved the country without anyone knowing.
This is not an exaggeration. The country whose treasury was stolen by Adrian is now in a precarious situation.
If Adrian steals the national treasury of this country again, then the Heavenly Gold will not be able to be handed over, the country will be removed from the World Government, and the country will lose the protection of the navy.
How can a country located in the Grand Line, which does not have a strong armed force, survive among the increasing number of pirates, especially those people at the bottom of society!
In the end, Yves strangled the unconscious servant to death. The servant was not an innocent man. He had done a lot of evil things with Adrian, so it was a worthy death.
He sent the recorder to a hotel to sleep, and returned home with a sense of guilt, gratitude, confusion and hope. What kind of life will be waiting for him in the future!
……
At this time, Vic had already left the country and ran towards Ping'an Island under the moonlight.
Vic did not feel the joy of saving the country, and he did not consider himself a hero who saved the country.
He just let the country survive a little longer, which was not the result he wanted.
His idea is very dangerous, and this kind of justice cannot be tolerated by the World Government.
……
On a pirate ship in a certain sea area in the first half of the Grand Line.
"Scum Jin, is this really an order from Big Brother Kaido? It can't be your personal arrangement. I, Quinn, can't possibly follow the orders of a scumbag. Let Big Brother Kaido answer the phone."
Quinn said to Den Den Mushi dissatisfiedly.
"King Ming has drunk too much and is now drunk. This is what he told me when he was drinking. How about I let you listen to his snoring?"
A cold voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi.
"Hmph, I will ask Kaido to confirm this later. If I find out that you are playing a trick on me, I will tear down your nest when I get back..."
Before Quinn could finish his words, the Den Den Mushi had already drooped its head, obviously the other party had hung up the call.
"That bastard Jin actually dared to hang up on me. I'm going to make him pay when I get back. Humph!"
Quinn was very angry. What annoyed him most was Jhin's attitude.
"Lord Quinn, are we still going to Jia Island to find Adrian?" asked a younger brother next to him.
"Let's go. What that bastard Jin said makes some sense. His fruit ability is obviously aimed at our Beasts Pirates.
Anyway, now that we have finished our work at the park, let's get rid of that guy!" Quinn decided after thinking for a while.
"Yes, Master Quinn, we will prepare to sail now."
Quinn and his crew are destined to fail because they encounter a variable, a soul from another world.
But the result is the same. Adrian died on Jia Island. Later, the pet fruit was obtained by Breed, who also enslaved Luffy's apprentice Kung Fu Manatee.
……
The next morning, when the cadets on the warship got up, they found Vic sitting cross-legged on the deck.
They saw that Vic didn't open his eyes, and they didn't go up to greet him or disturb him.
They thought Vic was on the island dealing with pirates. They hadn't seen him for a few days and thought he would come back with the main force, but he came back alone.
Vic estimated that the incident on Ping An Island should have been dealt with almost completely and it was time for everyone to return, so he went straight back to the warship.
Hearing the noise on the deck, Vic opened his eyes and saw the brand new deck and cabin.
He came back at night and had not noticed the change, but the warship was definitely not like this before he left.
So, was it a different ship? What happened in between that he didn't know about?
He soon found out, as he saw trainees from the boat construction team moving wooden boards and some repairing the warship.
He swept his Observation Haki across the warship, and saw traces of repairs all over it, as well as some big holes that had not yet been repaired.
Vic's mouth twitched. He had guessed what was going on. It must have been the work of the scorers.
They had no sense of presence on the ship before, like invisible people. Now that they have arrived at their destination, they who never spoke have finally revealed their dark hands - destroying warships.
This is probably also an assessment item, and it is a deliberate arrangement. It is really well-intentioned, and almost all subjects on the ship are taken care of.
Vic didn't want to hear the ping-pong sounds, so he got off the boat and walked towards the island. The seahorse beast called out a few times in the water, but he ignored it.
Using his Observation Haki, Vic found the three girls from Gion who were eating snacks in a small town. The three of them were eating and chatting, and seemed quite happy.
"Major General, when do you think Vic will be able to come back? It's been several days. I hope nothing happened to him?" Rebecca asked Gion with some concern.
"Don't worry, if anything happens to us, nothing will happen to him either. You have to believe in his strength, haha!"
Gion smiled and said nonchalantly, but the image of Vic smelling the pointer flashed through her mind again. The look of enjoyment on his face made her face feel hot again.
"We're worried because he's so strong. With Vic's strength, why would he need so long to defeat the enemy?" Rebecca expressed her opinion.
"He was going to look for something, maybe this delayed him!" Wendy also said.
"A strong man like Vic is a very powerful person in the first half of the Grand Line. You should be worried about his enemies, right?
He is almighty. If he wants to hunt someone down, he can use land, sea, or air. Even if he wants to run away, he can't.
Haha, it’s funny just thinking about that scene. How desperate his enemies must have been, hahaha!”
Gion was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Her smile also affected the two girls, and they also started laughing.
"What's so funny? Are you saying bad things about me?"
Suddenly a voice sounded behind them. The three girls turned around and saw Vic with a smile on his face.
Vic heard all their conversation.
"Vic, you're finally back, hehe!"
Rebecca was the most excited. Wendy didn't say anything, but she just nodded to Vic with a smile on her face.
"You're pretty fast. I thought it would take you longer!" Gion blushed when he saw Vic. That scene was really unforgettable.
Vic was speechless. What lewd words are you saying? There are two little girls here. Can you please pay attention to the impact?
Vic looked at the two girls. They didn't react. He knew he was overthinking it. Vic secretly said "what a sin".
"Well, I just came over from the warship and saw that it is still under overhaul. When can we leave?" Vic quickly changed the subject.
"I guess we have to wait another day. We're still a little behind on things on the island. Why, are you so eager to go back now that you've finished your business?"
There was an unclear meaning in Gion's words, and no one present could hear it.
