Chapter 170: Foreseeing the Future
"Blind man, stay away from me. Our pirate group is too poor. If we escape this time, we will go and rob a small town. We will definitely not use the money to buy alcohol this time. I will definitely buy you a pair of glasses!" The pirate captain pushed away the squinting eyes that were almost close to his mouth, and said with some self-blame.
The blind man was one of the first people to board the ship, but he was just a handyman on the ship. Because of his poor eyesight, he never participated in robbery or fighting. He was the only good person on this pirate ship.
"Keep shooting!" the pirate captain shouted to others again.
"Oh"
Fire appeared on the pirate ship again, and a new round of shooting began. The pirate ship did not move, but the warship kept moving forward, so this time the warship was completely within the shooting range.
Vic threw out a few darts, piercing through several shells fired from the front and causing them to fall into the sea. The explosions created high splashes of water.
The flintlock bullets arrived soon after, and Vic covered his right hand with armed color domineering, catching the lead bullets that were shot close to him one by one.
People from other places were not as relaxed as Vic. Some kicked the shells away, some chopped them with knives, and some blocked them with shields.
"Ok?"
Vic was a little surprised and immediately threw several darts at the pirate ship.
"Boss, don't stand at the bow, it's too dangerous here, let's step back a little bit!"
Mimiyan was thinking of something, and regardless of his captain's disdain, he forcibly pulled the captain back a step. At the moment the two of them retreated, several darts were shot one step behind where they had just stood, and landed at the toes of the two.
If the pirate captain was still standing in the same place, he would definitely be hit by the dart.
The pirate boss stared with wide eyes at the dart that had pierced into the deck, leaving only the small handle outside the splint, and the red cloth strip at the end of the handle fluttered in the sea breeze.
The swaying back and forth looked very much like his own rapidly beating heart. The pirate boss touched his heart and was terrified. Fortunately, the blind man pulled him up.
This is also the reason why this pirate could tolerate a blind man on his ship, because the blind man saved his life several times when fighting with other pirate groups before, allowing him to avoid several bullet attacks.
It is easy for a pirate ship sailing on the Grand Line to find a few strong and healthy people to do odd jobs.
"Is that really the case? Interesting!" Vic curled the corners of his mouth.
Vic had just released his Observation Haki. At first, he found the blind man's words funny, but when he grabbed the bullet in his hand, he felt something was wrong.
This is exactly the same as what the blind man said. Could it be a coincidence? So Vic decided to give it a try, but he didn't expect the dart to be dodged again. If this is still a coincidence, then he can only say that he has the same luck as Buggy!
In the first half of the Grand Line, there appeared a person who was suspected to have the ability to foresee the future, and the time he could foresee might be even farther than Katakuri's.
Moreover, this blind man himself may not even know that he has this level of dominance, and every word he says is in response to the scenes he will see in the future.
But in the eyes of others, this is just a blind man who likes to talk nonsense and becomes the object of their teasing. Only the pirate captain vaguely knows a little bit about it and may just think that the blind man is lucky and it will bring good luck to have him around.
Vic took Ian directly to the pirate ship by moonwalking. Ian was very excited. She only knew that Rebecca could fly, but she didn't expect Vic could do it too, and even faster and more stable.
She had long wanted Rebecca to take her flying, but she was too embarrassed to ask her competitor for help.
The main reason why Vic brought Ian with him was because he was afraid that Ian would be in danger if left on the warship. Guns and cannons have no eyes, and any one of them could take the life of a child.
After Vic came to the pirate ship, he sat on the edge of the ship. The pirates saw a flying navy for the first time and they were stunned. They stared at Vic blankly and even stopped shooting.
"Can I ask you something?" Vic said calmly.
"Who do you think you are? You think you can fly? You brought a child here to show off. What can you do to me if I don't say anything?"
The eldest one was the first to come to his senses. Seeing Vic flying towards them with a child as if they were nothing, he became furious and even ignored the blind man who was pulling his clothes with a horrified look on his face.
Vic didn't say anything, he just drew his sword and slashed at the sea outside. The pirates shrank their necks as they looked at the sea that was split into two.
If this knife hits the boat, they will probably have to go to the bottom of the sea to fish. Of course, Vic can kill them, but this level of strength is not worth his effort. The most important thing is to leave it to others for actual combat. Vic is only interested in the blind man.
"Ahem, sir, whatever you want to ask, we will tell you everything we know. Just ask. If you tell me a lie, you can chop me down right now, haha!"
It had to be the captain, and he was the first to recover from the shock. He bent over and looked at Vic with a flattering face. He was as tough just now as he was humble now. The contrast was so great that Vic almost laughed.
"Hee hee hee!"
Vic tried to hold it back, but Ian couldn't help but laughed out loud. The pirate captain's eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to glare at him and could only put on a smile.
"This squinty-eyed guy, is he also a pirate? Does he participate in fighting and robbery?" Vic's observation Haki did not sense any evil aura from the blind man, but he still wanted to ask. He locked his observation Haki on the pirate captain.
"He is a blind man who can't even see the road clearly. Let alone robbing and fighting, it would be a blessing if he didn't fall into the sea. He is just a handyman on the boat!"
The captain answered without any hesitation, but it was also the truth. He already knew that none of his men could escape. This time the navy was too strong. The blind man had saved him several times, so this time he told the truth as a way of repaying the favor!
"The blind man is a coward. He never dares to kill anyone and always hides behind others! So he can only do odd jobs on the ship. Otherwise, he is worthless! Hahaha!"
The pirate captain's words woke up the others, and another minion spoke, looking at the blind man with a mocking expression. He saw his captain saying bad things about the blind man, so he also started talking. Of course, he thought it was bad words.
Vic raised his eyebrows and retracted his outstretched hand. This kind of person was not worth his effort. Someone would take care of him later. Vic picked up Ian, took a step forward, grabbed the blind man as he retreated in panic, and flew away.
Vic already knew that although the blind man was on the pirate ship, he had not participated in robbery or murder. His aura was very gentle, and it was impossible for him to have a bounty on him.
He is not some big boss hiding in a small pirate ship. He is very similar to Coby and there is still a chance of saving him. He is also a person who can foresee the future and will take it into his own hands no matter what.
"Vic! Why did you capture this squinty-eyed pirate? Is there anything special about him?" Zefa didn't have the habit of using his Observation Haki, and he didn't know what had just happened on the pirate ship. When he saw Vic taking Iin to the pirate ship, he thought he wanted Iin to see blood up close, but he didn't expect that they were going to capture someone.
"Teacher, I found that this guy can foresee the future with his Observation Haki, and his hands are not stained with blood. I think he can be saved!"
Vic whispered in Zefa's ear that although there was a secret voice transmission, Vic did not use it with Zefa. This was not a very confidential matter, so it was okay to say it directly.
