Chapter 335 Sauron
"Really? You're leaving again? Can you take me with you this time? I want to go back and take a look too!" Rebecca said pitifully when she heard that Vic was leaving. Ian beside her also looked at Vic expectantly.
"I am capable of traveling alone, but I cannot bring others with me. It will take too long to go back by boat, and I will be too late if a mission comes. I will take you with me after we have established our own business! This time I am only going to visit my kendo master and swordsmith, and I will be back soon!"
Vic touched Rebecca's head and comforted her, saying that Rebecca didn't know Koshiro and the others, so it didn't matter whether she went or not.
"Barnett, if there is no mission, you can take them around, but don't go to the royal city above. The old man will probably take the boat around the nearby sea. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, you can practice in the windmill village.
The three of you haven't awakened your Armament Haki yet, so you can ask the old man for advice. He is the top figure in this area and will be of great help to you in awakening your Armament Haki. You can try three against one, it's very refreshing!"
After Vic and Rebecca finished talking, they turned to Barnett and said that he had been beaten badly by Cap during this period, so naturally he wanted them to enjoy it too. Happiness is better shared than happiness alone, so good things should be shared.
Barnett looked at him with disdain. "Don't you know what happened to you after being beaten by the old man? Even you can't bear it. How many punches can we take? After eating the thunder fruit, you are becoming more and more unreliable. You even betray your own people. You can't stand seeing others doing well, right?"
The few of them chatted for a few more sentences, and then Vic turned into lightning and disappeared into the air. The clouds in the sky were his optical fibers, and he shuttled through the clouds like light at an incredibly fast speed. The thing that was least lacking in the sky was clouds, and Vic soon arrived above Frost Moon Village. The lightning gathered into a human shape, and then fell towards one place.
……
"Uncle! Are you lost? Want to ask for directions?" A green-haired child of four or five years old asked Vic who had landed on the ground. He didn't seem to be surprised or afraid of Vic's sudden appearance, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"What uncle? You should call me big brother! Are you lost? And you asked me if I wanted to ask for directions? I wouldn't ask you for directions from anyone else!"
The child in front of Vic was Zoro. He was already far away from the inhabited village and was still walking further away. It was obvious that he was lost. Vic didn't expect that Zoro had been a person with poor sense of direction since he was a child, and he was still very stubborn.
"Brother! Can you take me home? I came out yesterday, but I can't find the way home. Everything I see seems to be the direction of home!"
Zoro blushed a little when Vic pointed out the truth. He originally wanted to trick Vic into being his bodyguard. Vic looked tall and had an extraordinary temperament. He was definitely a capable man. He was frightened by the roar of the beast last night, but this big brother seemed very smart and was not fooled by him at all. He saw through it at a glance.
"Let's go! I'll take you home before you get eaten by wild beasts!"
Since Vic chose to show up, he naturally wanted to help this person who has a poor sense of direction. He is a representative of the hard-working type in the future. Although he has a little blessing from his family bloodline, his efforts are also obvious to all.
Just like himself, although he has physical proficiency, he has also really put a lot of effort into his practice, otherwise he would not have reached this level at this age.
Although Wick traveled through time at the end of the Wano Country arc and did not know that Gyumaru Shimotsuki was Zoro's uncle, based on their appearances, Wick had no doubt that Zoro's background was not ordinary, simply because everything was too coincidental.
Vic has the ability of observation Haki, so he just needs to scan wherever there is a village, and then Zoro will just need to describe what the village looks like.
Vic took Zoro straight towards the village. Zoro lost his concentration several times on the way. If Vic didn't have the ability to see, he would not have been able to bring him back.
The reason why Zoro was distracted was because his attention was focused on the thunder drum floating behind Vic. He couldn't figure out how this was done, and as he was thinking about it, he went astray.
Wick suspected that the reason why Zoro had a poor sense of direction when he grew up was that he was still thinking about the names of cool sword moves while he was in a hurry, and naturally he took the wrong path because of his distraction.
After Vic sent Zoro back to the village, his parents came after hearing the news and thanked Vic profusely. Zoro's father looked a little pale, and he was either ill or had an old injury that had not healed.
His green hair is exactly the same as Zoro's, and he looks like the grown-up Zoro, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Zoro's mother is a beautiful woman with long flowing black hair. Although she is not carrying any weapons, her aura does not resemble that of an ordinary woman.
What Vic didn't know was that Zoro's father, Roronoa Arashi, was also a pirate before, but Arashi was seriously injured and on the verge of death while fighting other powerful pirates. It was Zoro's mother who rescued Arashi who had drifted to the coast.
After that, the two fell in love with each other and gave birth to Zoro. Finally, Lan brought the mother and son to live on the small island where he was born.
However, Arashi's old injury would never heal, and it would soon worsen and he would die. His mother would also die of longing for him. Zoro, who became an orphan, would end up in Shimotsuki Village after getting lost, and then he would live in Isshin Dojo to learn kendo.
Seeing that Zoro's parents were there, Vic no longer had any idea of taking Zoro to Shimokuri Village. He would find his way there himself later anyway. Vic also did not accept the couple's invitation to stay for dinner and disappeared in a flash.
"Terra! Did we miss something? The guy who sent Zoro back looks quite strong! Although he is not wearing a sword, I can feel the faint sharp aura on him. If Zoro can become his disciple, I can leave this world with peace of mind! Cough cough cough!" Lan turned to his wife beside him and said, but his old illness was really serious.
"No, Lan! You will definitely get better. Then Zoro will have you teach him personally. The most important thing is that our family lives happily together!" Terra looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, still holding Zoro's little hand, as if she was afraid that he would get lost.
......
At this time, Vic had already left here and came to the forest outside Shimotsuki Village. He planned to go see Kozaburo who lived alone first. Now he had returned to his original attire. The Thunder Drum and the Cloak of Justice were put into the dimensional space by him. Two dragon-shaped swords appeared on his waist. Although the news of him becoming a navy had already been published in the newspapers, and he had said before that he wanted to be a navy, there was no need for him to meet people as a navy now.
As he was approaching Kozaburo's wooden house, Vic heard the familiar sound of iron hammering again, which reminded him of the days when he was learning sword forging.
At that time, he did not have the metallurgical ability of the Thunder Fruit, so he could only hammer the metal knife blank one by one, sweating profusely with his upper body bare every day. Although he has not used the ability of the Thunder Fruit to forge a knife yet, he will definitely use it in the future. The knife on his waist has not yet reached the top level.
"Brother! You're still forging iron! Didn't Wado Ichimonji already finish it? You can't sit still!"
After Vic walked into the cabin, he said to Kozaburo that Kozaburo was already quite old. The Wado Ichimonji had been his obsession, but Vic had helped him realize it. Now Kozaburo was back to his old job and he really couldn't rest.
