Chapter 237 Xiaonan's Suspicion
Vic was now being hit by Zero and sliding backwards, like he was plowing a field, but Vic did not choose to attack immediately. He wanted to create huge pressure on Zero and make him feel powerless. In the end, perhaps the defense line in his heart would be broken by the powerful strength displayed by Vic. In that way, he would know who was the mastermind behind the scenes, which would save time and effort.
Of course, there is another purpose for not resisting!
"Ain, Vic seems to be no match for that man. He is being beaten by him and has no power to fight back at all!"
Xiaonan saw Vic being pushed by Zero to plow the flower field and asked the goalkeeper Ien beside him with some concern. Xiaonan had little experience and could not understand the situation on the battlefield at all.
Xiaonan's life is very simple. She has always lived on the island. She was an orphan when she was young and was later adopted by her current grandmother. She managed the fields with her grandmother. That was her happiest time.
Having family and having enough food to eat is the happiest thing. However, the good times did not last long. Later, a plant called the flower of love began to be planted on the island for unknown reasons. The petals and leaves could be sold at high prices.
In order to save more dowry for Xiaonan, grandma took Xiaonan to join the ranks of planting flowers of love. At the beginning, everything was fine. The petals and leaves of the plants were collected and shipped out of the island, and the growers on the island made a lot of money.
So more people joined in and stopped growing crops. They basically grew this. But the strange thing was that even though no one was growing crops, there was still no shortage of food on the island. All they had to do was take money to the store and buy it.
Without any worries, no one grew crops anymore. Instead, they all planted valuable flowers of love. At the beginning, these flowers were not called flowers of love, but fireworks!
It’s just that after the island was planted with this kind of flowers, no one knew who called it this name. Later, more and more people called it this way, until it became common knowledge, and Xiaonan became an ordinary flower farmer.
But the atmosphere on the island also changed. Many things happened later, and Xiaonan became less and less happy. Until today, Xiaonan hasn't laughed for several years. Today, after the old lady was cured by Iin's ability, she smiled for the first time, and it was a smile of joy that made her cry.
"No! Haven't you heard the saying, 'That year I put my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was'?
Although Vic put one hand in his pocket, it only shows that Vic still pays more attention to his opponent and keeps one hand just in case. Vic doesn't fight back, not because he can't, but because he doesn't want to do it now. Sister Xiaonan, don't worry, Vic is the strongest!"
Ion has been following Vic for almost three months and has experienced many battles. Vic doesn't fight much, but he is always the final winner. So in Ion's eyes, Vic is the strongest man in the world. Who is Whitebeard? Who is Kaido? Stand aside and don't block my Vic's way forward!
"Is that so? Vic is standing really straight, looking very handsome. He doesn't look like he's been getting beaten!"
Xiaonan was still a little uncertain, but Vic was a companion of Rebecca and the others, and she had just become friends with them. She still hoped that nothing would happen to Vic. Then she found some evidence that he had deceived herself to comfort herself. This child was indeed very kind, but his life was a little hard.
She hasn't realized yet that her grandmother has fainted on the table. The ability of Iin's fruit can indeed return the old lady's physical condition to two years ago, but it is hard to say how long it can last. The old lady has fainted, and it is unknown whether she can wake up.
Xiaonan felt very sorry to see Vic getting punched all the time, so he stopped watching the fight on Vic's side and looked at his friend Rebecca.
Because after Rebecca beat the fourth child, she beat the third child, and after beating the third child, she beat the ninth child. This is the example of "not knowing what an opponent is" in her mind.
Although Rebecca said that Vic could save the island and Ian also said that Vic was the strongest, the facts showed that Vic had not made much of a move, because she could not tell that it was Vic who performed the two Storm Kicks, and her eyes could not react to Vic's high-speed movements.
Xiaonan only saw that Vic got beaten whenever he attacked, but it was different for Rebecca. That was a real fight. She beat every one who came at her, and she beat them like they were her grandson.
She believed more in the "facts" she saw with her own eyes, but after knowing the truth, she would probably scold herself for not being able to see anything clearly! If her eyes could speak out, her eyes might reply, "I want to see clearly, but my strength doesn't allow it."
Rebecca and Laojiu have already fought for several moves. Rebecca has already tried out some things. Laojiu knows all six styles and his observation Haki is not weak either.
So far in the battle, we have not seen any armament domineering or fruit ability, so at present, Rebecca has a certain advantage. Her previous skills overlap with those of Laojiu, but she has an additional swordsmanship level of a swordsman, and Laojiu's finger guns and iron blocks cannot defend against her.
It's okay if the long sword slashes across his body diagonally, and Lao Jiu's iron block can also help a little, but as long as Rebecca stabs straight, Lao Jiu will bleed and get injured when the tip of the sword touches his body. As for the extent of his injury, it is in Rebecca's hands.
Lao Jiu is not young anymore, almost forty years old, and he has probably practiced the Six Styles for many years. Not to mention the strength of his moves, his proficiency alone is much better than Rebecca's.
But the strength is not certain. Rebecca's Storm Kicks has the bonus of her swordsmanship, and Vic has given her special training in Finger Gun and Iron Block, so there is no need for slow, step-by-step improvement.
Shaving and Moon Step are both extended skills of speed. Under Vic's deliberate training, Rebecca's speed has always been strong. Before she learned the Six Styles, her speed had already reached the level of using Shaving.
Not to mention Zhihui, both of them have Observation Haki, Zhihui is no longer important. Laojiu awakened Observation Haki earlier, and he needs to use Observation Haki often on the island to monitor the people on the island and outsiders. He is practicing Observation Haki, and his Observation Haki is not weak.
Rebecca also listened to Vic and often used her Observation Haki to sense the outside world, but after all, the time was still short, so Rebecca was not as good as Lao Jiu in terms of Observation Haki. There was a gap, but it was still within a certain range. Lao Jiu was not yet at the level of foreseeing the future. With her swordsman-level swordsmanship, Rebecca still had a great advantage.
Rebecca is still alive and well now, but Lao Jiu's clothes are already torn in a lot of places, and several of the torn places have turned brown, which is caused by blood staining the black suit.
This was what happened to Lao Jiu when Xiaonan looked at Rebecca. At this time, Rebecca was attacking Lao Jiu. Lao Jiu now had no means to counterattack and could only keep dodging and looking for opportunities. After all, Lao Jiu had no weapons and was fighting barehanded, and he couldn't break Rebecca's long sword, which was at the level of a big knife. With his arms and long sword, the combat range was too large, and it was difficult for Lao Jiu to launch a close attack on Rebecca.
