Chapter 339: Forcing Out the Target
Garp pays attention to the intelligence of the East China Sea every day. Although Vic is his adjutant, Vic is completely unaware of this intelligence and the old man never tells him about it. To Garp, Vic is more like an apprentice and a thug than an adjutant.
However, for a strong man like Vic, all he needs to do now is to improve his combat power and overall perspective, and he doesn't need to worry about everything.
The same goes for Garp. He doesn't care much about trivial matters and just deals with small pirates. His attention is still on the movements of those big pirates. Before Roger surrendered himself, Garp was specifically keeping an eye on him. Whitebeard was just a side job. It was mainly Sengoku who was keeping an eye on him.
After setting sail, the Dog-Headed Warship sailed directly towards Rogue Town. Vic thought it was heading for the Grand Line, but the warship slowed down after it approached the Upside-Down Mountain.
After that, they began to patrol along the calm belt. They were still within the scope of the East China Sea and did not go deep into the calm belt, but they were getting closer and closer to the sea area of the mysterious island with ferocious beasts that Vic had visited before.
This made Vic think, should he find some time to go to the island to get the mysterious fruit? In the past, his strength did not allow him to rob those beasts, but now even the giant sea kings would not be his opponent.
Vic covets that mysterious fruit very much. It seems that it can enhance soul power or intelligence. Maybe it will help to improve the observation Haki or awaken the Conqueror Haki. It may also be a fruit with higher spirit content than the meat of sea kings. However, these are all Vic's guesses. The details will only be known after eating it.
But Vic definitely can't go now as he is currently on a mission. If he wants to go, he has to wait until after the mission. There are too many fruits on the tree, and only two fall in a month. There is no need to worry about running out. He will only take it to heart if he finds the effect is good after trying it. He has reached the current level on his own, and external things are just icing on the cake.
"Vic! What are we looking for?" Rebecca was also confused. She thought Vic would know some information, after all, he was the old man's adjutant.
"I'm not sure either. The old man didn't tell me, but I think he will be a powerful pirate from the older generation. He must have some strong helpers around him. You have to be careful and do what you can!"
Vic really didn't know who it was, but looking at the old man's serious attitude, he knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, so he could only ask them to be careful.
However, this voyage did not find any useful clues, but Cap was very persistent this time. Except for going to Rogue Town for supplies, he would cruise on the edge of the doldrums at other times.
This kind of day has been going on for nearly half a month, and Garp's face is getting uglier and uglier. He can't find anyone. Even if this mission fails, the threat of the big pirates still exists. It's a waste of time to come to the East China Sea this time.
"It's almost a full moon! Should I take some time to go to the mysterious island? I think this mission is ruined. It's so close, it would be a shame not to go!"
Vic looked at the moon in the sky that was about to be full and murmured to himself, "They have been in the East China Sea for almost two months, and apart from some information the old man received last time, there have been no other discoveries."
Vic estimated that the old man would return to the New World soon. Such a strong lineup on the Dog-Head Warship could not be wasted in the East China Sea, so Vic wanted to wait for the full moon night to go to the mysterious island to grab the fruit, just in time to see what the effect of the fruit is.
"Into the Calm Belt!"
The next day, at Garp's command, the Dog-Headed Warship rushed into the Calm Belt. Since there were no clues on the edge of the Calm Belt, Garp prepared to try his luck in the Calm Belt.
The Dog-Head warship is not equipped with outer wheels yet, and can only rely on manual paddling by the marines on the warship. Vic took out the pointer of the mysterious island and took a look. The direction of the warship and the pointer were exactly the same. Vic couldn't help but be stunned.
Tonight is the full moon night, and now the Dog-Head Warship is heading there. Is the secret of the mysterious island going to be exposed?
Could it be that the pirates this time are related to the mysterious island, or was the mysterious island set up by the pirates? But that set up is not something that ordinary people can set up. Can the old man compete with such a person?
Vick was completely confused and could only take one step at a time, but he was on high alert in his heart. The fruit ability of the person who planned it was definitely developed to the extreme.
Just when the Dog-Headed Warship was still half a day's journey away from the mysterious island, Cap and Vic quickly looked up at the sky, almost at the same time.
Rebecca and the others nearby realized what was happening later, and when they saw the two's reactions, they all looked up at the sky. However, the moment they looked up, a hint of horror flashed in their eyes!
A cone-shaped shadow was rapidly enlarging and smashing towards the warship. It was a huge island. The Dog-Headed Warship was completely insignificant in front of it. Once it hit, it would be like hitting an egg with a stone. The warship would instantly shatter and sink into the sea.
"Another island that fell from the sky! Is it my destiny to be with islands in the sky? You won't stop until you smash me to death, right? This place and Magnetic Drum Island seem to be on the vertical line of the doldrum! Is there any connection between them?"
When Vic saw this scene, he recalled his previous experience on the way to Magnetic Drum Island. Several small islands were falling directly on his head, and there were also icebergs and lightning. For ordinary people, any one of them would be a disaster, but all the coincidences made Vic suspicious.
"Can you finally bear it?"
Cap murmured something with a hint of joy, and although his voice was soft, Vic heard it clearly. He then realized that the old man was forcing the other party to come out.
Then it is very likely that the mysterious island is not only known to him and Koshiro, but there are other people who know about this place. As for whether other people know the secrets of the island, he is not sure.
Although Cap saw the island approaching rapidly, he had no intention of taking action. Vic originally wanted to see the old man's full strength, but the old man was obviously asking him to take action.
Although Rebecca and the others are strong, they still cannot handle such a situation. It is still possible to escape, but it is impossible to save the warship, so Vic has to take action.
At this time, the other marines on the warship had stopped paddling. They were trembling as they watched the island in the sky grow rapidly. Although their qualities in all aspects were already very high in the navy, how many times had they seen such a scene? They were almost petrified.
Vic turned into a bolt of lightning and shot straight at the island. He did not choose to use a big sharp knife to cut the island in half. Now was not the time for him to go to Magnetic Drum Island.
The cut island will definitely have a great impact on the warship, and the waves it creates will definitely be at tsunami level. Enel can use his ability to destroy an island, but Victor's development is now stronger, and his observation Haki has not sensed any living creatures on the island, so Victor decided to use his lightning ability to directly destroy the island.
Vic's lightning directly hit the falling island, and suddenly, one lightning bolt turned into countless lightning bolts that enveloped the entire island.
As time went by, the island became smaller and smaller. When it was about to hit the warship, it had disappeared without a trace. The remaining lightning gathered and turned into a human shape again.
