Chapter 211 The Eve of Landing on the Island
"Haha, this is a bit strange! The mafia would actually help the country fight pirates. The sea is so big that there are all kinds of fish!"
Vic didn't believe there were such gangs. The reason why gangs were called gangs was because what they did was contrary to what ordinary people did. Otherwise, they would not be gangs but heroes. Vic felt a familiar taste. Isn't this Crocodile's routine? Vic thought to himself.
This is different from Mantis's fight against pirates. Mantis doesn't care about rewards at all. He even grows the food he eats himself, day after day for twenty years!
Mantis is more like a retired pirate, but he retired a little early. His original intention was not to be a pirate at all.
He was also driven out of his home by pirates, and later was forced by fate to become a member of Rocks. His experience was somewhat similar to that of Whitebeard, which is why the two got along so well when they were in the Rocks Pirates.
But the reason why these gangs are still called gangs is that they must have done something that cannot be washed away. Even Crocodile was later given the title of Hero of Alabasta, which shows that these people are really not as good as Crocodile.
Maybe their goal is not as big as that set by Crocodile. Stealing the country is a great betrayal. They don't need such a great personality. Maybe they just want the simple purpose of making money.
As to whether this is the case or not, we will have to wait and see after landing on the island. Vic does not look at people through tinted glasses. He cares about the truth and essence of things. If gangs bully civilians, he will definitely take action as a navy.
Zefa glanced at Vic, seeming to want to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't speak. He decided not to go to the island this time and just sleep on the warship. No matter what happened, it all depends on Vic's own justice. The gangs are not under the jurisdiction of the navy. The navy's main responsibility is to capture pirates.
The gangs have always been under the control of the army’s military police, but the country on the next island is not a member state, so the World Government will not pay attention to the gangs on the island.
To put it simply, it has nothing to do with them. Just treat it as an ordinary island where you can have fun, look around, eat, and then leave.
The World Government would not want them to meddle in other people's business. After all, the Navy's funding is provided by the World Government. This country has not paid any money to your sponsor. Why are you meddling in other people's business? Isn't this like helping others work when you are eating at home? Are you bored?
So Zefa decided to stay on the warship and pretend not to know anything that happened on the island.
Vic also knows the nature of the gang, just like Capone Bege. When he was doing gang work in the West Sea, no one cared about him, but after becoming a pirate and coming to the Grand Line, he was bountied and hunted.
Each department has its own responsibilities, but now he is relatively free. He is just a trainee recruit. If he really doesn't like something, he will definitely intervene. He is not an ordinary marine who follows the rules. He already has his own values in his heart.
Lunch ended with everyone having different thoughts. Vic originally thought that the next island would be the same as the previous ones and he only needed to treat it normally. However, what happened on the island completely disrupted his subsequent trip to the Elite Camp!
"Wendy, look at that island, it's so beautiful. I really want to go up and see it right now!" Rebecca said to Wendy beside her, and turned back to look at Vic who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"Yes, it really looks like a place where love is expressed!" Although Wendy answered Rebecca's question, her mood was obviously not very good.
Not long after lunch, Vic was awakened by Rebecca's cry. He stood up and looked in the direction Rebecca was looking at. An island that looked like it was wrapped in a pink and blue halo appeared before him.
The warship is now some distance away from the island. The whole island looks like a cake, full of sweetness.
"Vic, this island looks really beautiful. Come with me to the island later!"
Seeing Vic stand up, Rebecca ran over immediately. She had heard from Barnett that this was a holy place for love, and she also wanted to try it out to see if it was true and whether she and Vic would get engaged.
Ian also stood up at this time, looked at Vic with some concern, then turned to look at Rebecca, and then looked down at his own small body.
She had listened carefully to what Barnett said before. She didn't think that she had such an opportunity at such a young age, but Rebecca still had a good chance.
But she didn't expect that Rebecca had already set her sights on Vic before she even arrived on the island. She was very worried that Vic would fall into Rebecca's trap on the island.
"Sister Rebecca, you are my lifelong enemy. I will not let you get Vic. Vic belongs to me!" Ian said in his heart.
At this moment, Rebecca was staring at Vic and didn't notice that the little man next to her was looking at her with something strange in his eyes.
If she had known that this child would ruin her good deeds, Rebecca would definitely knock her out when they got to the island. This kind of thinking was completely wrong, and she couldn't be treated as an ordinary child.
"Isn't it said that the food above is irresistible? I want to try it too."
What Vic was interested in about this island was the food. If the scenery was nice, he could just take a look along the way. As for the so-called place for love, it was just a big advertisement and he didn't really believe it.
Will people's feelings change because of a place? Of course not, it's just a matter of timing. The advertisement can make people who come here more courageous. With the emotional foundation, they can naturally get together.
After hearing what Vic said, Rebecca curled her lips. What a straight man, so straight.
But this also made Rebecca feel a little fortunate. If Vic was not straight, he might have been with Major General Zhiyuan?
Major General Zhiyuan has everything she wants. She drools over her figure. She is extremely competitive. She has shown it so obviously, but Vic is still very straight.
However, this also greatly increased the difficulty of her attack, which made her very distressed. She could be said to love and hate it.
Ian was very happy to see Vic's reaction. He didn't care about the place of love at all. His focus was entirely on the food.
"When you get to the island, you can move around freely. You don't have to gather together."
Vic said to the people around him that since there was no threat of pirates on this island, there should be no problem with safety. It would be better to let them experience the world on their own. Maybe they would encounter some interesting things.
"Then I'll follow you, hehe!" Rebecca raised her hand immediately after Vic finished speaking.
"I want to follow Vic too!" This time it was Ain who spoke. She had always wanted to follow Vic.
"Then I'd better go with Rebecca!" Wendy looked at Barnett, then at Vic and said.
