Chapter 257 Bombshell
"Brother, tell me what it is. We will agree to anything we can do!"
Vic is his lifeline now, and he will agree to any request, even if it means asking for his granddaughter who is good at smelling perfume. It just so happens that his granddaughter is old enough to get married, and in this era, it is her luck to marry such a strong man.
"That is, before the land is restored in the later period, the royal family must provide food for the people. The people cannot survive without land to grow food and money.
After planting fireworks, you can pick the useful leaves and save them to sell to the commander of the naval base, or you can exchange them for food.
Tobacco leaves are the material for making top-grade cigars. They are still very valuable and can be traded through the naval base. As for the petals of fireworks, it is best to destroy them all. They are harmful to people. Your Majesty, can you agree to this?"
Vic was thinking of the common people, not the reward like a princess that the old king had in mind.
"This is a matter of course. I will do this, but is the officer here really as easy to talk to as you say?"
Although the old king was disappointed that Vic did not want his granddaughter, he really admired Vic as a man who always thought about the common people at the bottom of society. But he was afraid that after the naval base was built, things would return to their old ways, with the navy taking the lead in oppressing the common people and the trend of debauchery becoming popular again.
"Don't worry about that. My teacher's students are all over the navy, and many of them have become senior officers. Just ask Zefa teacher to say hello and send a disciple over.
Teacher Zefa has warned them that they dare not mess around. I will give you a Den Den Mushi that can directly contact our teacher. If you have any problems, just call us and see who dares to mess around! "
Vic had already started thinking about how to solve these problems when Rebecca asked him to help the country. Now, he just needs to find a disciple of Zefa's former teacher to be the base chief and the problem can be solved smoothly.
"That's great. My country is saved, and the civilians are saved too. Thank you so much, brother."
After hearing Vic's thoughts, the old king was completely relieved and bowed deeply to Vic. He felt mixed emotions in his heart and couldn't calm down for a long time. They were both members of an organization under the World Government, one was a murderer and arsonist walking in the darkness, while the other was a rescuer who was like light and dispelled the darkness. He had never seen anyone who could do what Vic did before.
"Okay, I won't go through with all the formalities. Just don't let anyone know about our conversation right now, even among our relatives. O'Hara knows that this is the end if the news leaks out. Let's go, my teacher will be here soon."
Vic grabbed the old king's arm and explained the seriousness of the matter.
"Yes, yes, I understand this, let's go!"
The old king was also a smart man. He knew the importance of the matter. When he heard Vic say that his teacher had arrived, he also wanted to reach a consensus as soon as possible because the naval base was too important.
When Vic and the old king returned to the crowd again, they saw Zefa coming to the scene. He was pulling Rebecca to the side and asking her something, but Rebecca kept shaking her head in grievance and looked pitiful. It could be seen that Zefa also felt helpless.
Barnett stopped treating Wendy, and the two of them stood aside with their heads down like elementary school students being punished.
Vic immediately understood that Zefa wanted to ask what happened, but no one told him the truth, so Vic quickly stepped forward, took Zefa's arm and walked aside while Rebecca looked relieved, and whispered the cause and effect of the matter, including that the gangsters were sent by the World Government.
"Vic, I've noticed that you're a troublemaker. You're always restless wherever you go. I have to clean up your mess again this time. Have you not spread these things?"
After listening to Vic's story, Zefa smiled bitterly. What he worried about finally happened.
"Of course not. I knew this matter was very serious, so I killed him to silence him. He was not a good person anyway.
I have warned the old king just now, but he already knew the identities of these people and was just pretending to be confused. The teacher also knew the situation of this island and deliberately did not go to the island, right? The teacher is really cunning! "
Vic also smiled bitterly. He had guessed until now that Zefa had known the situation of the island long ago and did not choose to go to the island in order to give both sides a buffer space and avoid the embarrassing situation of confronting the World Government.
"I can't help it. The higher you stand, the more things you can see and the farther you can see. You can see clearly where it is dark and where evil things are happening.
But because I am standing at a high place, I am always being watched by others. My every move is in the eyes of others, so it is difficult to do anything!
Vic, I still want to thank you privately for everything you have done for this island. I also support your ideas. Now it depends on what the ship's doctor says."
Zefa also has his own difficulties. There are some things he sees but cannot do. It doesn't matter if it affects only him, as he is already a lonely man. However, due to his status, it may cause a huge earthquake within the navy, and the World Government will not allow uncontrolled thugs to go unchecked.
"Haha! That's good. Find an honest and reliable student to come here, so that you won't be embarrassed to answer the call from the old king!
Teacher, you don't need to thank me. I don't like their behavior either.
"People" have thoughts and pursuits, and can resonate with others. How can such "people" be treated like pigs and dogs? Can one do whatever he wants just because he is strong? There must be a stronger existence to punish him!" Vic also sighed.
"Well said! A kind heart is invincible. A humble heart can help us climb to higher peaks!"
Zefa felt very relieved. Vic was really to his liking. The previous Aokiji counted as half, but the Aokiji after O'Hara counted as one.
"Hello, is this Sengoku? I have something to tell you. It's very important and urgent."
Zephyr knew the situation was urgent, so he took out a Den Den Mushi and called Sengoku. Vic stood next to Zephyr and eavesdropped openly.
"I'm Karp, I'm Karp. It's the same if you tell me anything. Hahaha!" Karp's hearty voice came from the phone.
"Asshole Garp, give me back my Den Den Mushi! You bastard, not only did you steal my Senbei, but you also took my Den Den Mushi without permission. This is all confidential! Do you think a vice admiral like you can listen to this? Get out now!"
Then the voice of Zhan Guo's scolding and cursing was heard on the phone again. Zefa and Vic both had black lines on their faces. Zefa didn't say anything and prepared to wait for the other party to return to normal before speaking.
"Zhan Guo, don't be so stingy. I'll treat you to tea next time. Why can't I listen to Zefa calling? Stop making trouble. Zefa has something important to say. If you make trouble again, I will take action! Hahaha!"
"You're the one making trouble, aren't you? It's okay if you don't answer my call, but next time don't come into my office without permission! Zefa, is there anything important you want to say?"
Sengoku is also a master of changing his face. He was cursing at Garp one second and calmly answered the phone the next. He is indeed a person who can become a navy admiral in the future.
"Vic has gotten into big trouble. This training will probably be aborted. Vic and his companions will probably be sent to Judicial Island for trial. If they are taken away, this elite camp will be finished!"
Zefa dropped a bombshell right from the start, and he wouldn't stop until his words were shocking.
