Chapter 234 Collision
“You may not know us young marines who have just joined the army. We chose to join the navy for the justice in our hearts. Now that we know such ugliness, you want us to retreat?
Where is our justice? Where is our faith? It would be more satisfying to destroy a person's faith than to kill him directly. Do you think we can agree to this?"
Vic didn't take Zero's threat seriously, and what he said was from the highest level of the Navy, but how many people here really joined the Navy for justice?
Maybe Rebecca is the only one who is a little purer and wants to inherit her parents' will and execute her own justice. Vic joined the navy on the one hand to learn the Six Styles and Haki, and on the other hand because of the obsession of the original owner.
It’s hard to say how much he believes in the Navy. After all, he knows a lot about this world, and for him it’s just a career choice.
However, as a soul from another world, he still has a very positive sense of right and wrong. He will not stand idly by when he encounters injustice. He handled things in the same way before he became a navy, and it just happened to coincide with the justice of the navy.
Barnett joined the navy in order to seek revenge with the help of the navy, but now he no longer expects the navy to avenge him.
As for the pirates in the New World, the navy basically lets them kill each other. Taking the initiative to provoke those big pirates requires orders from the headquarters.
Moreover, one's own status and strength must also be very high. Barnett previously wanted to push Victor to a high position and then use Victor's hand to destroy the pirate group, but as he got along with Victor, his thoughts also changed.
Under Vic's guidance, he is now confident that he can destroy the pirate group with his own strength. Of course, that is not now, so his idea now is to follow Vic's footsteps, become stronger and stronger, and become Vic's right-hand man.
It’s hard to say about Wendy right now, although she is also pitiful and weak and will help civilians, but that seems to be her nature and has nothing to do with whether she is a marine or not.
Vic did not feel that strong sense of belonging to the Navy from her. He felt that her purpose was the same as his own, which was to come to the Navy to strengthen himself.
It seems that the reason why she decided to board his ship was that she was attracted by his powerful strength, and she would be able to become stronger more safely in her future service.
Later, with Rebecca's sincere treatment and guidance, and after a long time of getting along, I was able to integrate into this small team and form the bond of friends.
But Vic found that Wendy still hadn't fully integrated into the group during this period. She didn't say anything about what was on her mind so that everyone could think of a solution together, and just wanted to bear it all by herself.
The case of Fredek is even simpler. He was picked up by Victor and gained a new life in Victor's hands. He has new goals and values, and now his whole body and mind are entrusted to Victor (similar to how the Straw Hat Pirates treated Straw Hat Luffy two years later).
As long as Vic takes him with him, they can go anywhere and witness the various forms of this world.
Not to mention Ain, he is Vic's die-hard fan and will do whatever Vic tells him to do.
Why do these people have to get involved in this matter? The first reason is that they believe in their own strength, especially Vic's strength.
Another issue is the value system. When faced with such inhumane evil, their hearts cannot get over it. They cannot just turn around and walk away without looking away.
They may have experienced harm to some extent, maybe not necessarily like the civilians on the island, but it is enough to make them understand what is good and what is evil.
Just like Nami later, who experienced such a childhood, was still able to maintain kindness in her heart even after becoming a pirate. It was because of her tragic childhood experiences that made her more able to empathize with other people’s pain, and wanted to help others get rid of pain, so that they would not be as helpless as she was when she was a child!
"So you've made up your mind to wade into this muddy water? That's a pity for this elite camp. It should have been the most glorious one, but now it may be at the bottom. Lao Jiu! Get started!"
When Ling started speaking, his tone was quite calm, with a hint of regret, but when he called out "Old Nine" at the end, his murderous intent was exposed.
When he called Laojiu, he had already used the Six-style Shave and disappeared on the spot, and Laojiu seemed to have been waiting for his order and disappeared on the spot almost at the same time.
When Zero appeared again, he was already close to Vic. The picture seemed to be frozen. He bent his upper body slightly, and stretched his right hand towards Vic at a 90-degree angle with his body, leaving only his outstretched index finger pointing at Vic's heart.
This finger has turned completely black, which is the effect of hardening the armament color. It looks like an upgraded version of the finger gun. With the blessing of domineering, its power is more than a hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary finger gun.
But now Zero's black finger couldn't move forward at all. Just thirty centimeters in front of Vic, a half-unsheathed black long sword blocked his finger.
The blade was right in the center of the fingertips. The knife was not Alan's, which was wrapped in the color of armed forces, but the original color of blood. Zero's sudden attack was blocked by Vic who drew his sword on the spot.
On the other side, Lao Jiu attacked Fredek who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. This was the task assigned to him by Zero before. The first person to be killed was considered a key figure.
Zero attacked Vic just to cover his surprise attack, but Vic had been on guard against these two people. Before Zero could call out to Lao Jiu, he had already used secret telepathy to instruct Rebecca to protect Fredek.
It just so happened that Rebecca had been staring at Lao Jiu and wanted to change her opponent, so Rebecca appeared in front of Fredek in advance, and now the tip of her sword was aligned with Lao Jiu's index finger.
The blue sword did not change its curvature at all, but a drop of bright red liquid flowed out from Lao Jiu's fingertips.
Vic discovered that the two people who appeared last liked to use finger guns to kill people. Zero's fingers were wrapped with domineering aura and he was fine, but Lao Jiu's fingers were not wrapped with domineering aura and he was no match for the big knife.
This simple attack made Zero's heart tense. Although he had sensed the two people's attacks with his observation Haki before, and had also watched the news before, he had already overestimated their strength.
However, he did not expect that the strength of the two was beyond his expectations. This might be the toughest battle in history. Ling's heart was in turmoil. Although Lao Jiu had blood dripping from his fingertips, his expression did not change, as if the injured fingers were not his own.
"Haha! You're going to fight over a disagreement? And you're attacking the defenseless among us? You're just other people's tools and you're not worthy of being on the stage!
You can only play some small tricks that are not worthy of being on stage. Why don't you run away if you are not sure? Are you hoping that we are not strong enough? You are really just this level. I overestimated you before!"
