Chapter 162 Dawn of Dawn
"Well, this child is also a person with special abilities, and her abilities are somewhat similar to yours. I plan to take her to the headquarters to study, and she will become a marine when she grows up." Vic explained briefly.
"Oh! Is his ability somewhat similar to mine? What kind of ability does he have?" Barnett was quite curious.
"The user of the retrograde fruit can make living and non-living things go back a period of time to the original state. She can now go back a year. Isn't it somewhat similar to your ability? Haha!" Vic said with a smile.
"Yes, they are somewhat similar. How lucky you are to meet such a talented person when you go out on a date. If you start developing your fruit at this age, you will definitely be better than me when you grow up!"
Barnett felt a little emotional. He had not eaten the fruit for long. He had eaten it just half a year before going to the Navy Headquarters. It was also because of this fruit that he was selected to study at the headquarters.
"Don't talk nonsense like Wendy did. Rebecca and I just went out shopping. Rebecca wanted to buy something. Oh, by the way, this child has a big scar on his leg. It's quite ugly! Your ability should be able to remove it, right?"
Vic seemed to remember something. After Vic stripped Ian naked in the bathhouse, he saw the hideous scar on his thigh. It had not yet completely turned into a scar and was a new wound.
"Of course, it can be done. I don't think it can be completely removed in one go. It will probably take several times. But isn't it an honor for a boy to have a scar? Why should it be removed?" Barnett asked with some confusion. Vic smiled and didn't answer.
"Ain, call me brother. This brother can make the ugly scars on your legs disappear. Go and ask him for help!"
After Vic came in, he put Ian down. At this time, Vic touched Ian's head and encouraged him, saying that communicating with others is also a way to get over the pain.
"Brother Barnett, please treat my leg injury. Vic will give you a reward!" Ian walked to Barnett's bed and bowed slightly in a proper manner, but his words made both of them emotional.
"Oh my god, this is a little girl! Why did you bring her here? I thought she was a cute boy!"
Barnett was a little surprised and a little confused. After all, there are differences between men and women. Children are easier to deal with, but the girls in the pirate world are really open-minded and wear cool clothes.
"This child is so pitiful. He is now an orphan. He was previously detained by human traffickers. He must have been traumatized. Now he trusts me more and only wants to stay with me. Stop talking nonsense and treat him quickly!"
After saying that, Vic walked over and pulled up Ian's right leg's shorts a little higher. Without taking off her pants, Ian took the opportunity to hug Vic's neck.
"These human traffickers really deserve to die. Such a young child was injured like this!" Barnett also saw the two hideous intersecting wounds. After sighing twice, he immediately reached out and activated the ability of the Bu-Bu Fruit.
After a while, the scar became smaller and Ian's complexion looked better. The scar was still a little painful before, but Ian had been enduring it without saying a word. Now the pain has disappeared.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get a few hours of sleep!" Vic said to Barnett, then he carried Ian back to his bed, put Ian in the quilt, and Vic sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed.
Barnett was a little tired after the treatment. This time he did not hold back and used all his strength. He did not say a word, just waved to Vic and got into his quilt.
"Vic, why don't you come up? Don't you want to sleep?" Ian saw that after Vic had settled him down, he actually sat on the floor beside the bed and didn't even go to bed to sleep with him. He actually broke his promise to sleep with him.
"I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. Just sleep well and I will protect you!" Vic said softly.
"No, you just said you would sleep with me. I'll still be scared if you don't come up!" Iin said softly.
"Is it so stimulating? Even staying by the bedside won't do the trick!" Vic thought to himself. There was no other way. The little guy had already said so. What else could he do?
Vic took off his cloak, took off his outer coat, then lifted the quilt and lay down on it.
It’s okay to sleep alone with your shirt on, but it’s very uncomfortable if there’s someone around, as it’s hard and cold.
As soon as Vic lay down, Ian came up to him and hugged Vic's neck directly. Vic could only reach out and put his arms under Ian's head to make Ian's posture of hugging his neck more comfortable.
Neither of them spoke again. Vic still didn't sleep. He fell into a state of meditation. Although lying down was not very effective, it did help him get some rest.
Ian felt Vic's body was so warm, solid, and safe that he fell asleep in a short while.
Three hours later it was daybreak and many students had already gotten up, even Barnett, who was the last one to go to bed, got up.
He was looking at Vic on the bed and Ian, who was sleeping soundly with his arms around Vic's neck, with a playful look on his face. In Barnett's understanding, Vic had become a dad, having a lovely daughter at such a young age.
Vic didn't sleep at all. He saw with his Observation Haki that Barnett was sitting next to them watching him and Ian. However, Vic didn't open his eyes. He was not embarrassed, but others were. So he just pretended not to know and retracted his Observation Haki.
However, not long after, Rebecca and Wendy also came in. Vic heard the footsteps, but still did not open his eyes. He only heard the footsteps approaching the bed.
Wendy looked at the two people, one big and one small, on the bed with a smile on her face. Rebecca didn't know what her mood was at the moment, it was very complicated.
No one spoke, just looking at the two people on the bed. Vic's forehead began to sweat, but Ian was still sleeping soundly. He didn't want to wake Ian up by getting up. After all, he had only slept for three hours, and children are in their prime when they need to sleep a lot.
Vic couldn't pretend anymore. He opened his eyes and squinted at the three people with some anger in his eyes. What were they staring at like that for? They were planning to rebel, right? The actual combat course had to be arranged, otherwise where would the boss's face be?
"Vic, Teacher Zefa and the other students are up. How long are you going to lie in bed? We are about to leave." Rebecca said indifferently.
Wendy and Barnett were so exhausted that they almost laughed out loud, but they were afraid of waking Ian up, so they felt very uncomfortable holding back.
Wendy only found out this morning that Ian was a lovely little girl. She was very curious about what happened last night and pestered Rebecca for a long time before she found out.
"Oh, is it so?"
Vic turned his head and looked at Ian in his arms. He felt relieved that he was not woken up by Rebecca's voice.
He simply picked up Ian, found a blanket in the room and wrapped the little guy up, then put on his coat, tied his cloak, and put the three knives on his waist.
