Chapter 287 Meeting
They have already guessed why they failed to hit Vic just now. When the speed reaches a certain level, the eyes will deceive the brain. Some people cannot see anything at all, some can only see afterimages, and even worse, for Vic, it looks like a projection.
The two men lay on their backs and moved backwards involuntarily. In their eyes, Vic was like a monster. He looked harmless, but when he really showed his claws, he was so terrifying!
Seeing Jace and Cromalimon retreating, Vic took a few steps forward, and the two of them hurriedly used their hands and feet to speed up and retreat.
Then the two of them knocked down the dazed Wapol. Wapol was completely stunned when he saw Vic raise a cloud of snow and knock down the two of them.
He just thought that Vic was also a devil fruit user, otherwise such a scene would not be possible.
Wapol, who was knocked down by the two men, finally came to his senses. Seeing Vic walking towards him, he subconsciously stepped back.
"Hurry up, both of you! Why are you afraid of him being alone? My safety is the most important!"
Wapol shouted to Jace and Cromalimon. He was just a teenager with little fighting ability now, and he was still a little scared when facing a two-meter-tall man like Vic.
Seeing that Wapol had not given up resistance, Vic decided to let Wapol know what childhood trauma was. He directly drew out the blood from his waist and raised his hand to slash to the side. A huge black sword flew towards the sky.
A huge gap was cut into the top of the Magnetic Drum Peak by the sword force, and a huge smooth cut appeared on the mountain buried deep in the snow.
This was the result of Vic not setting his target on the mountain. The damage to Magnetic Drum Peak could only be considered as scratching, and the other forces all flew out of the sky.
But this scene is really scary. It looks like just a casual swing of the knife, but the power is unimaginable.
Looking at the slashing blow at the horizon which was no different from when it was just launched, one could tell that the crack on the top of the peak did not consume much of the power of this blow. If all the power was concentrated on a person, that person's fate could be imagined.
This time Wapol was really scared. He fell to the ground and crawled backwards. Three smooth trails were left on the snow, as if they were left by some cylindrical creature.
"Don't come over here! I'll let my father sentence you to death!"
Wapol was so frightened that he spoke without thinking, and some yellow-brown marks appeared in the middle of his slide. If another bad guy heard such provocative words, he would have killed the person immediately. It was his luck to meet Vic.
"Let's go! Dalton, it's no fun!"
Vic stopped when he saw that Wapol was scared to death. This guy is really a novice and likes to play.
Dalton was also shocked by Vic's actions. He was no match for Jace and Cromalimon together, but he was defeated by Vic after just one encounter.
The three of them are considered the three strongest forces in the Drum Kingdom, but if they meet someone like Vic, the country will be destroyed.
Especially with Vic's final blow, it was no problem to cut off the entire Magnetic Drum Peak.
Dalton was deeply worried. How many strong men were there on the sea who could defeat an entire country? This was the tragedy of the times. The phenomenon that an entire country could not stop one person was everywhere on the sea.
Before he could think deeply, Vic had already stepped into the palace, and Dalton quickly followed him and led the way.
This welcoming ceremony turned into a farce. He didn't know what Vic was thinking. It would be of no benefit to the Drum Kingdom to offend such a person.
He still didn't know Vic's identity, so he could only bite the bullet and take Vic to the king's study. The location was told to Dalton by the soldiers at the palace gate. Originally, Wapol should have said it, but it was obviously not possible now.
"No, I can't be without any resistance. Even if I become a king, I will still feel insecure. You two, go downstairs and find devil fruits right now.
I also want to become a person with special abilities. I don't care. You must find it for me no matter what means you use, or don't come back!"
After Wapol regained consciousness, he realized that this world was not as safe as he had imagined. Some people could easily crush him to death, but the only way to become stronger without working hard was the devil fruit. So Wapol was so scared that he asked Jace and Cromalimon to search for him in the towns and villages below.
Jace and Cromalimon felt bitter. They had just experienced the darkest and most terrifying scene, and now they had to go look for devil fruits that they didn't know if they still had. Are devil fruits so easy to find?
There are only two people with special abilities in the entire country right now (of course this is only on the surface, and now there is also a blue-nosed reindeer who has become a special ability user). It will not be easy to find them. Both of them have suffered a huge blow both mentally and physically.
When Vic reached the gate of the palace, he suddenly paused, his eyes changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and continued to move forward.
When we arrived at the king's study, the king with long hair and a golden crown was reading a book behind the desk.
A small kingdom like the Magnetic Drum Kingdom does not have so many political affairs to deal with, and there are no court meetings in the country. All matters are reported directly to the king, who will deal with them at any time. Only when there are undecided matters will he consult with a few relevant ministers. This is the norm for small countries.
"Your Majesty! This is the young man I told you about last time. He saved all the doctors. If it weren't for him, the guards and I would have been seriously injured!"
Dalton still felt a little emotional when talking about this. That day, Vic was like a god descending from heaven and destroyed all the pirates and rescued the doctors. This might have been a piece of cake for Vic, but it was a very arduous task for the power of this country. Therefore, Vic was a hero to this country, no matter what Vic's current identity was.
"Oh! Is this the little hero who saved the doctor a few days ago? He is really tall, handsome and talented!
Dalton reported your story to me that day, and I immediately asked him to find you. I wanted to thank you in person, but our Drum Kingdom is not rich in resources and the environment is harsh. We can't give you anything decent to thank you, so we can only thank you in person to show our sincerity!"
The purple-haired old king looked at Vic with a light in his eyes. He walked up to Vic and bowed to him.
"Your Majesty! I don't deserve to be called a hero. My name is Vic, and I'm a trainee marine. Protecting the allied countries is also the responsibility of our navy!" Vic said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Really? The Navy! The Navy is great!"
The old king stood up straight, and the light that had just lit up in his eyes dimmed again. He had listened to Dalton's story about Vic before, and was very moved by the powerful fighting ability he showed. He invited Vic to meet him because he wanted to make Vic the guardian of the Drum Kingdom.
But he didn't expect that Vic was actually a navy man. He felt that he could not compete with the navy, and he couldn't say the words he had prepared before.
He had given up trying to persuade Vic to join the Drum Kingdom. Anyone who was not a fool would know what to choose, and he really had nothing to offer that could impress Vic.
The Drum Kingdom is located on Winter Island, an island covered with ice and snow all year round. Food and accommodation are a problem for the people on the island, so how can they come up with something sincere enough to thank Vic!
The only advantage was medical care. Dalton had heard before that Vic had a seriously ill friend, and he wanted to let his doctors cure his friend to thank Vic. However, after asking the doctors, they also said that they could not cure the Black Death. He really had no power to do anything!
When Dalton heard that Vic was a navy man, he finally felt relieved. He had never known what Vic's position was.
Although Vic saved those doctors and himself, he was still a little nervous about bringing them to the king. Many people in this world don't care whether you are a king or not, they will still kill you without mercy!
However, he thought of Vic's performance outside the palace just now, and he felt that his previous worries were completely unnecessary. A man of this strength could easily do something detrimental to the country by force.
Even if all 50,000 people from this country came together, they would not be enough for him to kill. Thinking of this, Dalton felt a little ashamed. It was really wrong for him to doubt his savior.
"Vic! How is your friend now?"
Dalton saw that Vic didn't look sad, and he wondered if the old man Vic took away was really a skilled doctor who could treat diseases that even the country's top doctors couldn't treat? Has the medical skills of the outside world reached this level?
