Chapter 274 Hardening of Arms
"Ding"
"Chubby!"
A metallic collision sound rang in everyone's ears, followed by a curse word.
The saw in Dalton's hand flew out and stuck in the snow not far away. A flying knife knocked a deep hole on the blade, and the small flying knife also bent into an arc.
A figure slowly approached from the thick fog in the distance. As the figure got closer, they discovered that the person was carrying a person wrapped like a caterpillar on his back. The person was wearing a black cloak with a hood, and the hood was on his head so his face could not be seen clearly.
The scene seemed to be at a standstill, and everyone's attention was caught by the figure. As the figure approached, Shuang Axe swallowed hard. Although he could not see the man's face clearly, he felt an invisible sense of oppression. He wanted to run but could not move his legs.
Dalton didn't know who was saving him. The man's aura was very unfamiliar, but he didn't sense any malice, or even any emotion. Maybe he just saved him casually, and there was just a slight emotional fluctuation at the moment of the action.
The expressions of the soldiers and the pirate minions were very interesting. Just now, Dalton was just a few centimeters away from cutting off his left arm. The soldiers began to blame themselves for not holding Dalton down. Seeing Dalton mutilating himself, they all resigned themselves to their fate and closed their eyes until the sound of metal collision was heard.
"I have a patient on my back. You should all be doctors, can you help me take a look?"
The man lifted the hood on his head, revealing a young and handsome face. He looked at the doctors surrounded by pirates.
The person who came was Vic. After experiencing several incidents of falling from the sky to an island, he was brought to the waters of Magnetic Drum Island at high speed by Xiaobai.
Although he cursed Kaido on the boat and asked him to come out for a duel, Wick really didn't want to fight Kaido now. It wasn't because he was afraid of him, but mainly because Wendy's illness could not be delayed any longer.
Wrapping Wendy up like a caterpillar and tying her behind him, Vic immediately went to the island. Not far away, he discovered the conflict between the pirates and Dalton, and he heard a lot of the conversation.
He also found that there were many doctors here, so he could check on Wendy immediately. However, Dalton was forced to commit self-harm, which really shocked Vic!
Maybe some people will say that Dalton is really stupid and it is not worth it to sacrifice himself for irrelevant people.
But you have to think about Dalton's position, what are his responsibilities? This reminded Vic of those public servants in his previous life who sacrificed themselves to save others. Vic liked this kind of purity very much, and he didn't want to see such people disappear from this world.
"We can help you, but now..." One of the doctors raised his hands that were tied with ropes and said, since there are patients, it is of course their duty to help, but now they are prisoners and they are powerless!
"I'll help you get rid of the pirates, and you treat my illnesses." Vic understood what the doctor meant.
"Who are you? We have a hostage in our hands, just try to move!" The brother with a knife quickly grabbed a doctor from behind and put the knife on his neck.
"Who do you think you are? Can you kill us whenever you want? Do you think my axe is just for show?"
Shuang Axe was a little dismissive of a young man like Vic. At first, he thought he was a master. But now, seeing Vic's face, he just thought that Dalton's weapon was too thin and soft. His own axes were indestructible. The two axes together weighed five thousand pounds, which was not comparable to Dalton's weapon.
"My dear, they have hostages. We cannot act rashly without a foolproof plan..."
Before Dalton could finish his words, the young man in front of him had disappeared. Everyone only heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air, and then they found that Vic had returned to the same place.
"Squeak..."
There was a sound of objects falling on the snow. Dalton and the soldiers behind him were stunned, their eyeballs almost popping out.
Except for the two axes who were still standing, all the pirates had a small knife stuck in their heads, with the blade completely embedded in the skull, leaving only the handle and the red ribbon behind dancing in the wind. They lay on the ground without even closing their eyes, with a hint of surprise still in their eyes.
"you you you……"
Shuang Axe was frightened for a moment and subconsciously raised the axe in his hand, which luckily blocked the flying knife that Vic shot towards his eyes.
Seeing that all the younger brothers around and behind him had died tragically, he was so scared that he peed his pants. A large area of his crotch was wet, which quickly turned into frost in the low temperature environment.
"This……"
Dalton didn't know what to say. He didn't even see what Vic did. The pirates who forced him to hurt himself became corpses, and the man who did it was untying the ropes that bound the patient, as if he didn't care at all about what he was doing.
"They were all killed by a single blow to the brain. They didn't even feel anything when they died. This can't be achieved by killing one or two people!"
"This man may know more about physiology than we do. I wonder how many people he has killed at such a young age? Is he good or evil?"
"We are doctors. No matter good or evil, as long as the patient is sick, we must treat him!"
Voices were heard among the doctors. They were also shocked by the pirate's death, but they quickly focused on their own areas.
After Vic untied Wendy, he held her horizontally in his arms and walked towards the doctor, not even looking at Shuang Axe whose legs were shaking.
Although he was lucky enough to block the flying knife just now, Vic had hundreds of ways to kill him easily. He was just a rough man who didn't even have a devil fruit and only had brute force.
Vic passed by Shuang Axe and continued walking towards the doctor. Shuang Axe was so happy to see that Vic didn't take him seriously at all. A ferocious smile appeared on his bearded face. He raised the axe in his hand and chopped towards Vic's head. The axe squeezed the air and made an oppressive whistle.
"Brother! Watch out!"
Dalton's eyes were bloodshot as he watched the axe falling towards Vic's head. He could not catch up with it at his speed. He didn't understand why Vic would leave his back to the pirates. Wasn't this courting death?
His behavior just now didn't seem like that of a novice. How could he make such a mistake now? Dalton was nervous and puzzled.
Of course, Vic knew all of Shuang Axe's movements clearly. His Observation Haki was not just for show. He originally wanted to send Wendy to the doctor first and then deal with Shuang Axe, but he didn't expect that Shuang Axe was a very authentic pirate, and it seemed like instinct for him to launch a sneak attack.
"Armed color hardening"
Vic's body was instantly covered in black, and it looked like the devil had descended.
The blades of the double axes fell on Vic's head, but the imagined scene of Vic being split in two did not appear. Instead, the axes shattered directly, turning into pieces of scrap metal that splashed on the surrounding snow.
