Chapter 294 Vic Departs
Of course Chopper was reluctant to let go. He held Vic's thighs and refused to let go. His tears wet Vic's pants. The miserable sound was like someone killing a deer.
She kept begging Vic until she was exhausted and fell asleep in Vic's arms!
Vic put Chopper on the small bed on the second floor, put down some books on wilderness survival and common sense, left a month's worth of food and left the tree house. This might be the best way to leave.
Vic went straight to the seashore of the tree house and released his full range of Observation Haki to sense the sea. It was not until a quarter of an hour later that his Observation Haki sensed that Xiaobai had swam into the range of his Observation Haki.
Yes, Xiaobai had not left and was just wandering around Magnetic Drum Island. Vic sent a voice message over a thousand miles away to call Xiaobai. Xiaobai hadn't seen Vic for several days and now he shouted with excitement when he saw Vic.
Vic jumped directly onto Xiaobai's back, took out the boat from the dimensional space and tied it to Xiaobai's body. Poor Xiaobai has always been a tool fish, following Vic all the way for a bite to eat. Of course, the life-saving grace was also one of the reasons. He can be regarded as a big fish with integrity.
"Xiaobai! Do you know which direction the depths of the Grand Line are in?"
Vic had no record pointer for the next island, and Gaya Island had no permanent pointer.
Xiaobai has the ability to identify magnetic fields, and Vic thought that Xiaobai could take him away directly. However, Xiaobai looked at Vic with a confused face, and didn't quite understand where the deep part of the Grand Line that Vic was talking about was.
"Uh! I thought you were too omnipotent. It's my fault! Haha!"
Vic remembered that Xiaobai needed you to point out a direction for it so that it would not deviate from the course. But if you told it a place, Xiaobai would not understand it at all. He didn't know what north and south were, or what Gaya Island was. Xiaobai was just a fish.
Vic had no choice but to continue asking Dalton for help. If he went to buy a new record pointer now, he would have to wait for it to be stored. It was also unknown how long the magnetic field of the next island would take to be stored, and Vic couldn't wait.
However, the saved record pointer must be with Dalton, so it is saved in advance to facilitate the ships passing by Magnetic Drum Island to move to the next island.
Sometimes a recording pointer can avoid a head-on collision with pirates. Many islands sell recording pointers that store the magnetic field of the next island.
Only some uninhabited islands like small gardens need to store their own magnetic fields. It depends on how long it takes for the next island to be filled up. Some islands only need one or two days, while others may take one or two years.
Vic's Observation Haki quickly found Dalton, who was patrolling the inland river, which was the place most ships chose to land.
Other places are either cliffs or reefs. Generally, unfamiliar ships will not land at random. Of course, there are some people who do not follow the rules and enter the island unexpectedly from other places.
Vic found Dalton and explained the situation. Dalton readily gave Vic a record pointer and told Vic that he could visit the Drum Kingdom often when he was free.
Vic didn't act pretentiously. He took the record pointer and flew away with a wave of his hand. The soldiers behind Dalton were envious. He could fly without the help of anything other than his body! This was a dream come true.
Vic took the recording pointer and started his journey on the sea with Xiaobai. The matter of Drum Island came to an end. They just had to wait for Zefa to come with the warship to pick up Wendy.
After Vic and Xiaobai set out from Magnetic Drum Island, they were basically on the road. When passing by an inhabited island, Vic would directly buy the saved record pointer and continue sailing.
Because they were sailing deep into the Grand Line, which was the same direction as most pirates, Wick didn't encounter many pirate ships this time, and those with bad attitudes were all destroyed by him.
Only on a deserted island did they encounter a circus pirate group. Just as they had stored up the magnetic field and were ready to set off, they were blocked by Vic.
Fortunately, this pirate group is self-reliant and relies on performing shows to make money to support themselves. Victor only stole their saved record pointers, but also gave them a pointer for their own use.
These pirates are in tears. They have to stay on this uninhabited island for another year. It is really painful. This island has become a deserted island because ordinary humans can no longer survive on it. There are many powerful wild beasts and it is still a bit dangerous.
They also fought back and charged towards Vic, but were all knocked down by Vic in just one encounter, with their faces and noses bruised and swollen.
……
Just half a month after Wick set out from Magnetic Drum Island, the Red Hair Pirates also rode the rising current on the Eastern Sea side of the Upside Down Mountain. Red Hair brought his new partner Jesus Bu to the Grand Line. He wanted to continue to conquer the New World for the will of freedom.
"Jesus, this is your first time seeing such a spectacular scene! This is the great wonder of the world. The Grand Route extends from here, and your adventure also starts from here. We will take you to see this interesting world!"
Shanks stood on the bow of the diving Red Force, holding Jesus with one arm and preaching. He laughed heartily and heroically, as if the entire Grand Line was at his disposal and there would be nothing blocking his way.
"It's really spectacular! I've never seen such a sight in the East China Sea before, it's so shocking!" Jesus looked at the currents going up and down the mountains, as well as the huge upside-down mountain, with a dazed expression on his face.
"Hahaha! The Grand Line is the most magical sea in the world. It's full of adventure. You will know how exciting our voyage will be. You will definitely not regret joining us!"
Lakilu bit off a piece of bone and meat and laughed out loud. Jesus Bu's Pirate Heart was very much to his liking.
"The navy must have known about our presence in the East China Sea a long time ago. There might already be navy troops waiting for us ahead."
Ben Beckman next to Shanks exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly that he had previously suggested not to take the Upside Down Mountain route. With their strength, the Sea Kings would have no way to deal with them, and they could safely pass through the doldrums.
"It's okay! This is Jesus Bu's first time on the Grand Line, so I naturally want to take him to see this unforgettable grandeur. As well as the adventures in the first half of the Grand Line, I also hope that he can experience them all.
His current strength still needs a buffer, so we should just go through it again and change the route. As for the navy! Don't worry, as long as it's not led by a navy admiral, we are not afraid at all. Even if Zhan Guo comes in person, we can deal with it and retreat safely. "
Shanks' words at the beginning were still very serious, but later on he became very domineering and didn't care about the interception by the navy at all.
Beckman didn't say anything else. He just analyzed the pros and cons. As for what choice to make, it was still up to Captain Shanks to make the decision. He himself was very strong and was not afraid of the navy. The worst that could happen was a fight. The answer was very simple.
The Red Force continued to dive downward, breaking through the clouds, and everyone's vision was restored. The rushing ocean current and the majestic walls on both sides of the mountains and rivers turned upside down. Facing the sea breeze, the pirate ship rushed towards the Grand Line.
However, the next moment, they were all stunned. A warship was docked at the shore of Gemini Cape, where Kurokas lived. A group of soldiers in naval uniforms were staring at them.
