Chapter 206 Wendy strips off her clothes
"I don't know if the pirates saw that I was seriously injured and fell into the sea and thought I would not survive, and no one came to rescue me. In the end, I drifted to an uninhabited island and saved my life.
It was God's blessing that I accidentally ate a devil fruit on that island. After I recovered from my injuries, I built a raft and went out to sea.
After drifting on the sea for a while, I came to an island with a naval base, where I joined the navy.
After that, every time I think of what happened that day, I hate myself so much. Those shrill screams keep echoing in my mind, causing me endless pain.
So I particularly hate pirates who set fire to houses. There may be people living in the houses they burn, and those people may be burned to death by them.
Can you imagine what it feels like to be burned alive?
Ever since my family was burned alive, I feel as if I can relate to their pain. Whenever I think of that day, my body feels like it’s wrapped in flames, and that burning pain permeates my entire body!"
When Barnett said the last few words, his body was already shaking a little, and the surface of his body turned red, like a boiled shrimp, and steam was coming out of the surface of his skin.
Vic knew that the state of being burned by flames that Barnett described had appeared again. This was the consequence of recalling those memories.
Vic guessed that this was because Barnett saw his family being burned to death with his own eyes, and he felt deeply guilty about what happened that day, which then led to psychological problems and he wanted to empathize with his family.
Victor's current idea is that the person who tied the bell must untie it. If he wants to cure this psychological problem, he must kill the pirate group that burned Barnett's family to death.
"Wendy, don't just stand there, hurry up and give Barnett some more water!" Vic's words woke up Wendy who was in a panic.
Wendy was a little panicked when she saw Barnett's condition. She started to take off his clothes in a hurry. Her upper body was already naked, revealing her solid muscles. She was just about to take off Barnett's pants.
"Ah? Oh! Got it." After hearing what Vic said, Wendy finally reacted and fed the smoking Barnett the fresh water for making tea on the table.
After drinking the water, Barnett gradually recovered. Vic was thinking that if the situation got worse, he would tie him up with a rope and throw him into the sea to cool down.
Vic is a little suspicious that you, Barnett, burn yourself like this so often, but why don’t you burn your brain? It’s a bit unscientific!
"Barnett, do you know why those pirates burned your village?"
Seeing that Barnett had recovered, Vic continued to ask, in order to solve this psychological problem, he must understand those pirates.
"Vic! Barnett is already in this state. Why are you still rubbing salt into his wounds?"
Seeing that Vic continued to evoke Barnett's unpleasant memories, Wendy said with some complaint that he really forgot about Vic's kindness after having other opposite sexes.
"Yeah! Vic, what's the point of asking these questions now? Don't let Barnett catch fire again later." Rebecca also followed Wendy in denouncing Vic, but her words were a little too direct, as the person involved was still here.
"It's okay! I'm fine now. At that time, another pirate group came to the island to take revenge on the pirate group that ruled our island. The two sides had a great feud and would fight to the death. Our island was hit by an unexpected disaster. I also found out about it later at the naval base."
Barnett has recovered and told the reason at that time. Vic has already planned to destroy these two pirate groups.
If these two pirate groups have not been destroyed yet, they should still be in the New World now. When he plans to go to the New World, he can take a few people with him to do him a favor. He can then ask Barnett for details. He will definitely remember those two pirate groups.
"The navy's duty is to catch pirates. When we reach the New World, we will go and cause trouble for those two pirate groups. They are your enemies and the ones who have brought you suffering. I will not let them go!"
Vic reached out and patted Barnett's bare shoulder and said, a light flashed in Barnett's eyes and he nodded, while Wendy looked at Vic deeply.
Barnett's current strength is not enough to deal with those big pirates who can occupy the territory, but he knows Vic's strength. With Vic around, those people can't make any waves.
Besides, they can't go to the new world now, and he has time to improve his strength. When that day comes, maybe it will be enough for him to do it himself.
"Okay, put on your clothes when you've recovered. Wendy almost stripped you naked just now. Boys, you better protect yourself when you're out there!"
Vic glanced at Wendy and said something meaningful. Rebecca burst into laughter, but as she laughed she became unhappy. Then she glared at Vic and thought of herself.
"Stop it, Vic. I was just thinking about helping him cool down. I don't have the time to think about so many things! Humph!" Wendy blushed a little at what Vic said and turned her head away to avoid reality.
Only then did Barnett notice that he was no longer wearing any clothes. No wonder the sea breeze felt a little cold today!
He immediately picked up the clothes on the ground and wanted to put them on, but found that the clothes he picked up had been torn by Wendy. He felt confused and turned his head to look at Wendy who was pretending to look at the sea. He didn't say anything and walked straight into the cabin.
"You guys missed out by not going to the hot spring town today. The fight between Rebecca and the swordsman was really exciting. The fight between Barnett and the pirate captain was really interesting.
It was fascinating, but the most shocking thing was that Vic punched the pirate captain into the air, leaving no trace. It was so fierce that it was unimaginable! "
"Really? There was a fight like this in the hot spring town today. What a pity. We went to the town on the other side of the mountain."
The other members of the elite battalion returned to the warship and met in front of the dock. They were all talking about what they had seen today. A few people who were asked to put out the fire and stayed at the scene were talking about the battle they had seen, which made the others envious.
On Vic's side, Barnett had already changed his clothes in the dormitory and returned to the deck. Now the warship was just waiting for all the trainees to come back before setting sail.
This was also the time set by Zefa. He originally wanted to bring these trainee recruits to this island to relax in the hot springs, but he didn't expect to encounter a wave of pirates.
Although only Rebecca and Barnett participated in the actual combat, their enemies were also strong, and anyone else who wanted to get involved would inevitably be seriously injured.
It's also good to put out some fire and watch other people's actual combat, especially the devil fruit user, whose ability is quite rare. It also helps these new recruits gain some knowledge, so they can treat devil fruit users more seriously in the future.
