Chapter 119 Is it fate? Or a deliberate arrangement?
Vic had a lot on his mind, but the reality didn't last long.
"Okay, I'll give you the money it cost to collect the intelligence."
"Mr. Vick, it's too polite for you to talk about money again. Look at the way these people around me are looking at me. Who wouldn't be envious?"
Vic turned his head and looked, and it was indeed the case.
A man was looking at this place with shining eyes, especially the look at Vic was full of passion, and Vic felt uncomfortable being looked at.
"Because of your reputation, many people on the island now have to give me some face, and I have more information channels. This is not something that money can achieve. As long as I have your reputation, it is more useful than money!"
Ben now has more respect and admiration for Vic. They used to be in an employment relationship, but now he wants to be Vic's younger brother.
“Well, if you have any trouble, bring me a message at the naval base.
"We have to go back too, go and do your own thing!"
"Okay, Mr. Vick, take care!"
……
"Deputy Captain, Boss Pizarro has been captured. What should we do?"
"That navy is too strong. We can't be their opponent with our current strength. The ship's membrane has been coated. Let's go to the new world and work hard to become stronger. We will find a chance to take revenge later!"
Pizarro's crew looked at the backs of Vic and his crew, talking in low voices. Asking them to rescue people? That was impossible. Rushing forward knowing that it was a suicide mission? That was not reckless, that was stupid!
I asked why you didn't go over to help just now. Wouldn't the chances of a gang fight being successful be greater?
Screw you! We don't have the ability of the mythical beasts. With that kind of attack, we will die several times if we are hit by it. It's a waste of time!
They pirates can stand up for their brothers for the sake of loyalty, but they are not really stupid. Look at the navy, he beat Pizarro without getting red in the face or breathing heavily, and he can beat a few more without any problem. Who dares to go up and die?
……
Vic and his companions said goodbye to Ben and headed towards the naval base. The blue-haired beauty who was rescued by Smoker followed Vic and his companions.
There was a conflicted look on her face, and she was hesitating about something. Vic was watching her with his observation Haki.
The blue-haired beauty seemed to have made up her mind. She ran in front of the group and blocked them all.
"Um, can I ask you a favor?" She finally mustered up the courage to speak to them.
"Ok?"
Vic looked at the woman in surprise. He felt that the woman's face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
The beauty did not look at the strongest Vic, but walked towards Tina, but her eyes were looking at Smoker on Tina's back. Smoker looked at her with half-open eyes and some confusion.
"Captain Smoker, right? I have a five-year-old daughter. I want her to join the navy. Is that okay? It's too dangerous for her to follow me. I have no ability to protect her. I've already lost her sister and I don't know if she's dead or alive. I don't want her to be in danger too!"
The woman looked at Smoker steadily, with pleading and helplessness in her eyes. Smoker thought of what had happened before, and he was also very touched.
"Five years old is too young. The navy doesn't want five-year-old children!" Smoker sighed.
"Are you stupid? The Navy has an adoption center for military orphans. You can entrust her there and visit her whenever you have time. She can receive an education there from a young age and learn a lot!"
Vic thinks more broadly. Children have their own place to go, not to mention adults.
The woman's eyes suddenly lit up. This was the best idea. She looked at Smoker with hope.
Smoker thought about it and it made sense. There were many children of the same age in the orphanage and the child could make many friends there and receive an education. Her mother lived in Shampoo and she could bring her to visit often.
Smoker nodded in agreement, and the matter was settled.
"Tina, give Smoker to me. I'll take him back for treatment first. The three of you can go with this sister to pick up the child."
"Ok!"
Vic took Smoker and continued walking towards the naval base.
"Smoker, you're not trying to be a hero and save the beauty just because she's pretty, are you?" Vic teased.
"Bullshit! Am I that kind of person? I was doing it for justice!" Smoker blushed a little!
"Well! I hope you can maintain your justice!" Vic said seriously.
……
Soon Vic returned to the base. He first sent Smoker to the infirmary, then asked the base commander for seastone handcuffs to handcuff Pizarro.
The base commander is also a veteran lieutenant general with a head like a Dalmatian. He is a user of the Dog-in-Dog Fruit.
Vic didn't know how he maintained this form, but he always wanted to laugh every time he saw him. Fortunately, Vic had received formal training and would not laugh no matter how funny the thing was!
Vice Admiral Dalmatian was surprised that Vic actually captured Pizarro, a pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions. However, he did not say anything as he also knew some of Vic's deeds.
The old lieutenant general quickly completed a series of formalities. This was considered as Vic's military achievement. Although he was still a trainee marine and could not be promoted, it still needed to be recorded.
The old lieutenant general said that he would send a warship to take Vic to the headquarters. Pizarro was escorted to the headquarters by Vic, and the rest of the matter would be taken over by the people in the headquarters.
"Kuzan, do you want to go back to the headquarters with them?" After returning to the office, Dalmatian said to a tall and thin man with an eye patch lying on the sofa.
"No need, I'll ride my bike back after I get a good sleep!" Kuzan lifted a corner of the eye mask with his right hand, revealing his right eye and looking at Dalmatian, and said lightly, then put down the eye mask and continued to sleep.
Dalmatian was a little helpless. Kuzan had changed since the O'Hara incident!
……
Vic went to the infirmary to see Smoker, and found that the three women had returned and were surrounding Smoker's bed, and there was a little girl in the room.
Vic walked into Smoker's ward with a smile on his face, and several people heard the noise and saw Vic.
"Tashigi, call me brother!" Tina said to the little girl with a smile on her face.
When Vic heard the name, he froze. He immediately remembered who the woman looked like. Wasn't it Dashiqi when she grew up? It was just because Dashiqi always wore glasses when she grew up, so he didn't think of going with her.
"Hello, brother!" The little girl bowed to Vic solemnly. She was not wearing glasses now.
"Hello, little Tashiki!" Vic responded with a smile.
"That's enough. You've asked Tashigi to call me uncle and Vic brother. Aren't you going too far?...hiss..." Smoker was very angry, and the violent ups and downs hurt his wound.
"Hahaha, it's your fault that you look so scary. You almost scared Tashigi to tears!" Tina continued to hurt her.
Tashigi is now like a little boy, standing there very quietly, feeling a little awkward. She is not nearsighted yet and looks almost exactly like Kuina, but her personality is very different from Kuina's.
Vic thought a lot at this moment. Tashigi really looks like Kuina, and they are both five years old now. This is already a coincidence.
What's even more coincidental is that the woman said that Dashiqi has a sister! Although she didn't say that the two children are twins, it still made Vic couldn't help but imagine!
Black-haired Tashigi and black-haired Koshiro, dark-blue-haired Kuina and Tashigi's dark-blue-haired mother, could Kuina and Tashigi be twins?
"It's enough to have you guys here to accompany Smoker. I have something else to do. I'll be leaving first?"
Vic called out and quickly came to the window of the ward, then flew directly to the center of the island using the Moon Step.
"Why is Vic in such a hurry? He doesn't even go out the front door." Tina was very confused.
"I guess he thought of something he hadn't done yet. After all, we have to leave here today!"
After Vic reached the center of the island, he released his full-range Observation Haki, covering the entire island.
This is the result of Vic's several years of practice. The range is already quite large, but the closer the distance, the clearer what can be perceived. It is still far from Yixiao's ability to perceive the meteorite.
"Gone? Disappeared? How could she disappear so quickly? Did she deliberately send Tashigi to the navy? What was she thinking?"
Vic originally wanted to find Dashiqi's mother to ask her clearly, as she might be his master's wife, but there was no one left on the island now!
"Forget it, since you're avoiding me on purpose, I can only wait until we meet again!"
Vic returned to the base and asked a few people to prepare, and then return to the headquarters when the warship was arranged.
Vice Admiral Dalmatian was still very reliable. He quickly arranged the warships. The warships were sailing on the sea, and there was no trouble from the shipping king along the way!
When Vic and his companions got off the boat, someone was already waiting at the port, having been contacted over the phone.
"New recruit Vic, you did a great job. Teacher Zefa told me about you, the future rising star of the navy. Leave the King of Evil Politics to me. He will temporarily detain the headquarters and your merits will be recorded. Your starting point will also be higher for your assignment after graduation!"
The person in charge of the handover was a lieutenant general who stayed behind at the headquarters. After Vic handed over Pizarro, he left the port with a few people. Smoker was still seriously injured and needed to be sent to the hospital in the recruit area for hospitalization.
This time, it was Tina who stayed to take care of Smoker. Vic and the other two did not disturb their private time together, since they could come and visit at any time anyway.
Vic asked the two girls to go back to the beach first, and he took Dashiki to the living area, where the military orphanage was located, and he took on the task of arranging Dashiki's care.
When passing by a candy store, Vic bought some candy for Dashiki. Vic opened one, squatted down and handed it to Dashiki.
"Come, Tashiki, have some candy, it's very sweet!" Vic said with a smile.
"Well, thank you, brother Vic!"
"I'll give you all of these, but you can only eat one a day. If you eat too much, your teeth will fall out!"
"Okay, I'll remember. I'll only eat one a day, hehe!"
Vic held a bag of candy in his left hand, held Dashiqi's little hand with his right hand, and walked slowly on the street of the living area.
"Tashigi, how did you and your mother come to that small island with many big trees?"
"I don't remember anything. My mother took me to a small room and told me not to run around. Then I fell asleep and when I woke up I was on that small island!" Tashigi recalled, holding candy in her hand.
"Really? Have you always lived with your mother? Have you ever seen your father?"
"Dad? What is a dad? I always follow mom around everywhere!" Dashiqi was confused.
"Haven't you seen her before? Running around? Is she looking for something? Or is she avoiding something? This woman is becoming more and more mysterious!" Vic pondered.
