Chapter 328 Mental imbalance
While the dog-headed warship was sailing, Ian didn't dare to sneak into Vic's arms while he was practicing, because Vic would use thunder to constantly temper himself whether he was practicing domineering, swordsmanship, or developing the ability of the fruit.
The sound was a bit scary, and Ian was afraid of being struck by lightning. Every day he looked at Vic's practice with a wronged look on his face. Only Rebecca vaguely knew the secret.
She and Zhiyuan were present when Vic got the magic staff. Although Vic didn't mention it, she could guess that Vic's Thunder Fruit had a lot to do with the magic staff, because it was too much of a coincidence to find a devil fruit related to thunder in such a short time.
Besides Wick himself, she was the only one who knew that Wick had eaten two devil fruits. Although the two of them didn't say it explicitly, they both understood it. Rebecca was no longer a little girl who knew nothing. She could also distinguish between good and evil, which made Wick very relieved.
The Dog-Headed Warship did not take the Grand Route's return route to the East China Sea, but directly crossed the Grand Route and the Calm Belt and returned to the East China Sea.
No sea kings came out to attack the warships in the calm zone. I don't know whether the Bei Punk family has now developed the technology to add seastone to the bottom of the warships, or the old man himself has a great deterrent effect on sea kings!
The journey was safe all the way, and we returned to the East China Sea directly along the edge of the Red Soil Continent. If we continued along the Red Soil Continent, we would pass through the Calm Belt again and reach the Gemini Cape, the starting point of the Grand Line.
The Kingdom of Goa is located on the edge of the East China Sea, not far from the Red Earth Continent, so the warship approached the Kingdom of Goa not long after sailing. This is also the reason why Garp often returns to Windmill Village to see his grandson.
After watching his grandson, he circled the East China Sea and then entered the Grand Line from the calm belt beside the Upside Down Mountain. Many pirates in the East China Sea suffered. This is how Garp has always operated.
As a result of such repeated fleecing, the East China Sea has become the weakest ocean. The pirates were killed by the legendary figures before they could grow up. I don't know whether to say it is an honor or a sorrow.
"Grandpa, when will your grandson stop watching? We should go to the New World and find Big Mom to do something with her. With her growing power, she will be the next Pirate Emperor. We only have one admiral in the navy now, and he can't leave the headquarters often. This will be disadvantageous to our navy!"
Although Vic knew that the navy would have several new admirals soon, there was no clear notice from within the navy, so he just pretended not to know. It would also be good to let the old man go and find trouble with Big Mom.
He also wanted to see how strong Big Mom was now, and whether she had anything else to show off besides the iron balloon. The domineering entanglement might not be difficult to resist. He did not expect the old man to kill Big Mom directly, he just wanted to know himself and the enemy.
"Silly boy, what could be more important than taking care of your grandson? Luffy's father is a bastard. He left the child to me and didn't care about him. He is not responsible at all.
If children are not educated with love from an early age, they will grow up in a wrong way.
Big Mom has become a force to be reckoned with. It is not so easy to kill her. If we start a war rashly, the people at the bottom will suffer.
We can't easily take action against people like them who have their own territories. Follow me and learn well. Being my adjutant won't be a disgrace to you, haha! Thor!"
The old man's overall view is still good, and he sees things very clearly. Although there are no regulations that require the headquarters' consent to fight the Sea Emperor, his thinking has reached that level and he still sees things very clearly.
The old man was a little unhappy when he saw Vic's showy look, and wanted to beat him up to vent his anger. Everyone calls you Thor, right? I am beating Thor. No one more handsome than me is allowed on my dog-head warship. You should keep your pig-head face. No matter how good your appearance is or how handsome you are, you have to be beaten by my iron fist of love. I will beat you without hesitation.
Vic knew that this old man was a little frivolous. Everyone was polite to a new natural ability user like him, but this old man treated him with an iron fist. Although it was very helpful for his practice, didn't he have any face?
He was going to be an admiral and marshal in the future, and the perfect image he had built up was completely destroyed. Fortunately, this was only the case on the Dog-Head warship, and his legend was still circulating in other places. Although he could not beat the old man, his strength was limitless and he was still respected by the soldiers on the warship.
"Old man! Do you think about Luffy's future by beating me like this? He's still so young, you don't want him to live in my shadow forever, do you?"
Vic's meaning is very simple. If I can't beat you, can I beat your grandson, the future Pirate King? It's not a wise choice for you to take me to see your grandson now! And Ace is also in Windmill Village, right? It shouldn't be too much to help him establish a correct outlook on life!
"I don't even know who you are, but you are the only one who can bully a child?"
The old man also knew about Vic's visit to Tashigi that day. Even though he was so angry, he didn't attack the child. He was not bullying the weak. He was just talking nonsense. The old man was very sure of it.
"Luffy is a kid now, yes, but he will grow up one day, and then I won't be considered bullying a kid. It's like the old man and I are now. Although there is an age gap, we are both adults. Don't be heartbroken when the time comes!"
Vic continued, although I can't get any advantage from your old man, I will still say some harsh words.
"Then I don't care. Whoever gets beaten is incompetent. But my grandson is going to be a marine in the future. I will train him to be the strongest marine. By then, it's not certain who will beat whom! Hahaha!"
The old man didn't care at all, he had great confidence in his grandson.
Rebecca was upset when she saw the two people bickering at the bow, like two children, one a major general and the other a lieutenant general. It was understandable for the old man to be like this, as this has always been his style. But you, Vic, were not like this before. Where is your calmness and wisdom?
Did he show his true colors in front of the old man, or was his brain damaged? Rebecca remembered when they first arrived at the headquarters, Vic often went to Zefa to get beaten, and he looked like this.
Vic didn't want to be like this, but he really couldn't beat his opponent. What else could he do except to gain the upper hand with words? After being beaten for such a long time, even the best mentality would be unable to hold on. Only by having absolute control over the situation or absolute crushing power could he remain calm and wise.
He had no control over the two old men. Zefa was alone now, so he didn't talk about it. Garp, who had sons and grandchildren, would naturally talk back. Otherwise, wouldn't the beating be in vain? But he didn't know that this might lead to a more severe beating. This was a crazy test on the edge of death.
