Chapter 320: Riding the boat
The pirates were also shocked when they saw Vic suddenly appear. This ability to act without anyone noticing is very scary. The main reason is that Vic's current appearance is too intimidating, and he becomes the focus wherever he appears.
It was not uncommon to see people with weapons transplanted onto their bodies, but they had never seen something as floating in the air as Vic's thunder drum. It was completely beyond their comprehension. They felt uneasy when they saw Vic walking towards them, forgetting that they had hostages in their hands, and were a little at a loss.
The captured soldiers stared at Vic blankly, thinking that they had encountered a good thing like a god descending from heaven. Their minds automatically imagined golden light around Vic and heavenly music sounded in their ears, creating a very lively atmosphere. However, the people from the other three parties were completely unaware of all this.
"Can't you pirates be quiet? Are you also going to look for the great treasure? Do you know what kind of pirates are waiting for you? Ignorance is bliss!"
Vic felt sad for these little pirates. They had all become the touchstones of the real gold. Finally, they stood out and entered the new world, but what was waiting for them?
Charlotte Linlin? Kaido? Wang Zhi? Silver Axe? Whitebeard? They are all ruthless people left by Rocks. Meeting any one of them will be their nightmare. There are also other emerging new forces blocking the way. If you are lucky enough to meet Whitebeard, you may find a powerful father. If you meet others, you can only risk your lifelong singleness and escape by chance.
"I...we were naturally summoned to the sea by the Pirate...the Pirate King. Even if we can't get the great treasure, our lives are worth it. At least we have fought for our dreams!"
The pirate leader stuttered at first, but then he suddenly spoke louder and more powerfully, and was no longer as nervous and scared as before. Although Vic looked mysterious and powerful, if a person is not afraid of death, what else does he have to fear? If he has the ability, he can kill even gods.
"Huh? You dream of going to sea? But your way is wrong. I will give you a quick death!"
The pirate's answer surprised Vic, because there are many pirates who dream of going to sea, but they are too rare compared to those pirates who go to sea for money.
Originally, Vic was going to give them a quick death by letting them meet the Buddha, but now Vic was going to send them to Impel Down to work on sewing machines. People with dreams should be given a chance to reform.
After Vic finished speaking, lightning shot out from all parts of his body and hit all the pirates accurately. Vic only used the most common attack, but all the pirates fell to the ground and fainted, except for the hairless pirate. They all had afros, smoke was still coming out of their bodies, and their bodies were twitching unconsciously, as if they were in a nightmare.
"Thor! Thor!..."
"Thor! Thor!..."
"Thor! Thor!..."
Suddenly, voices shouting "Thor" were heard. At first, only a few soldiers were shouting, but later, more and more people were shouting, and the voices were getting louder and louder. In their eyes, Vic was really like a god. He shocked their bodies and minds and saved their lives.
"The Nature-type Thunder Fruit? The legendary fruit! How did you get it?"
Rob Lucci's face was filled with disbelief. With such a devil fruit and the training of the Navy, a huge and perfect institution, and with the talent that Vic had shown in the past, he would definitely be an admiral in the future, and even have a chance to become the Navy's top commander, the Admiral!
And what about him? At present, he is only a department leader in CP9, and he needs a lot of connections to get there. Even if ordinary people are strong, they can't get to that position. He really envies Vic. As long as Vic develops steadily, he will definitely have his place at the highest position in the navy.
"Okay, quiet down!... Move these pirates out. They should be tried for their crimes."
Although Vic also wanted to promote his own reputation, he felt a little embarrassed after a long time, so he stopped everyone and asked them to do the hard labor.
These soldiers were also very happy to do so and moved very quickly, avoiding Lucci when passing by him, because this man had just wanted to stab them to death. They were angry but did not dare to say it out loud, because he was a member of the World Government and they could not afford to offend him.
Things were very simple after that. The king personally came out to thank Vic and invited Vic to a banquet at the palace. The head of the navy also came to contact Vic. They all heard about Vic's deeds from the soldiers and knew that Vic was definitely a big shot in the navy. But when Vic asked him about the future route, he didn't mean to go to the headquarters. They had other tasks to do and couldn't even take these pirates away.
Vic rejected the king's invitation, but his name as the God of Thunder spread throughout the country. The people also learned about the kidnapping incident in the royal palace, and combined the God of Thunder with the thunder beast that appeared in the sky before, and a new legend emerged!
The pirates were taken to the Judicial Island by CP9's warship for trial, so Wick forced his way onto Rob Lucci's ship. Once they arrived at the Judicial Island, they were not far from the Navy Headquarters, so it would be easy to go back.
Although Lucci was reluctant to allow such a transcendent and pretentious-looking person to board the ship, the navy was also their ally, and they could not refuse openly. They could only refuse him politely.
It's just that he was too weak to defeat Vic, otherwise, with his personality, he probably wouldn't have let Vic on board. After all, he was the man who later gave orders to the Navy Admiral Akainu, so he still had some pride and was able to bend and stretch.
And now Vic can openly take out the magic staff and practice, just put it on his waist, which makes Vic even more cool.
He was just sitting cross-legged on the deck of the warship, with a thunder drum floating behind him and lightning striking him from nowhere above his head. Anyone who saw this scene would be shocked. It was completely stuffing the name Thor into other people's minds. There was no need for introduction at all. The first adjective that the onlookers could think of was Thor. Lucci was so envious of him that he wanted to become a person with special abilities too.
If Wick continues to go out and carry out missions in this way in the future, his reputation may soon surpass Garp. He is a man with his own special effects. Who else in the world of pirates has such treatment?
I guess only Red Hair a dozen years later can do that. The domineering color that can cause physical damage counts as one, and Charlotte Linlin's scream counts as half, but that is a passive skill. Kaido will not have such an effect without transforming.
While Vic was training on the CP9 warship, Zephyr had already returned to the naval headquarters with the students of the elite camp.
The reason they were able to travel so quickly was because they were following the Grand Line, which was the same direction as the pirates, so they did not encounter many pirates and were basically sailing on the sea. Therefore, they returned to the headquarters before the Elite Camp graduated. They no longer needed to be assessed on anything. The whole journey was considered an assessment process. They only had to wait for Zefa to report his evaluation and military merits and wait for assignment.
As soon as Rebecca and the others got off the warship, they didn't even say hello to Zefa, but rushed straight to the seaside cabin where they used to live. If Vic came back, he must be there. She ran away without even asking anyone.
Wendy and Barnett looked at each other helplessly and could only follow behind. Only Fredek followed behind without knowing why.
Zefa could only smile bitterly as he looked at the backs of the few people. He had been keeping in touch with the headquarters and knew that Vic had not returned yet. However, he did not tell them on the warship. He had planned to tell them after he came back, but who knew that Rebecca was too impatient and ran away with Ian in her arms.
But the result was destined to disappoint Rebecca. The wooden house was still the same wooden house, just that it had become a little old, and a lot of weeds grew around it. It looked a little desolate, and there was no longer the lively scene as before. Vic did not appear in the wooden house either. Rebecca stood at the door of Vic's room, looking into the room in a daze!
