Chapter 340 Golden Lion Shiji
The island just disappeared completely. Everyone on the warship looked at Vic in amazement. Even Rebecca and the others had the same expression.
This was the first time that Vic had publicly used the attack power of the Thunder Fruit. Before, it was only the ability of the Thunder Fruit to speed up travel that had already made the old man envious. Now, the attack power that could silently destroy an island made them all shocked. Only the old man was the calmest one.
"Hahaha! Garp! I didn't expect you to have stayed here all this time and even entered the Calm Belt. And that kid who got struck by lightning, it was a mistake that I didn't kill you last time!
I thought you were just a bounty hunter with great swordsmanship, but I didn't expect you to be a marine and a user of the Natural Thunder Fruit. No wonder those thunders didn't kill you last time. It's because of this kid that you're biting me, right, Garp?"
After Vic eliminated the hidden dangers of the islands, several islands appeared in the sky again. However, the islands did not fall at a high speed to attack the warships. They stopped moving after falling to a certain distance and floated there.
Several figures appeared at the edge of the island. The words just now were said by the man in the middle. He had long golden hair, half of a ship's rudder on his head, a cigar in his mouth and a look of arrogance. Although his two calves had been replaced by two big swords and he looked like a disabled person, everyone who had heard of his name was prepared for battle.
He is the captain of the Flying Pirates, Shiki the Golden Lion, a ruthless man who almost destroyed Roger's pirate group. Later, when he heard that Roger was arrested, he broke into the Marine Headquarters, Marineford, to rescue Roger, but was finally suppressed by Garp and Sengoku and taken to Impel Down.
After escaping from Impel Down City, he was committed to destroying the entire East China Sea. The reason he appeared here this time was because he discovered a powerful beast on the mysterious island. He happened to have an expert in this field, and he wanted to train a group of powerful beasts and release them into the East China Sea.
He just didn't know how his whereabouts were exposed, which attracted his old rival Garp. Originally, he wanted to lie low and not have a head-on confrontation with Garp, but Garp's warships were approaching the mysterious island, and he had to take action to protect that place.
He suspected that there was a big secret on the island, which might be of great help to him in dominating the world. Destroying the East China Sea was not his end. His end was to rule the whole world!
I had originally planned to investigate further after forcing Garp to retreat. Although Garp was very strong, he would not have an advantage against him in the Calm Belt.
After all, not everyone has as strong strength as Garp. A Lion's Sea Scroll may overturn a warship, and if another island is pressed down, Garp may not be able to handle both. It is also possible that the sea kings in the calm belt will be alarmed to come out to help. Garp has no choice but to retreat!
But the appearance of Vic disrupted his plan. This was a navy who could use lightning and sword skills to break the threat to the island. Garp brought helpers this time, and now things are a bit tricky for him.
Vic's strength should not be underestimated. He regretted not trying his best to kill Vic the last time he met him, because he didn't know his identity and just teased him casually. Now that he has become his enemy, he is very annoyed.
"Shiki! There's nothing wrong with you escaping from Impel Down. You're already half useless. If you don't cause any trouble and just enjoy your retirement, the navy won't bother to care about you.
But I have received intelligence that you are recruiting soldiers and preparing to reorganize the Flying Pirates. This time you are aiming to destroy the East China Sea. Of course, I cannot sit idly by.
The peaceful East China Sea does not allow extremists like you to appear. In the past, you had the ability of the Floating Fruit and it was difficult to stop you if you wanted to escape, but this time it is different. Your flying speed is definitely not a match for Vic. This time, I am confident that I can catch you again and take you to the city to live in retirement!"
The old man seemed a little emotional when he first spoke, perhaps because there were fewer and fewer strong people in their era, which made him sigh, but at the end he patted Vic's shoulder with a domineering look on his face and said that the East China Sea must not be destroyed, and Shiqi should go to Push City to retire.
After being slapped by the old man, Vic's shoulder felt numb and his facial expression was distorted, with a grin on his face. But after listening to the conversation between the two, he understood why the old man took him back to the East China Sea.
On the surface, he came to see his grandson, but in fact he came to deal with the Golden Lion. There was no news of this beforehand, and the ability he showed was the key. Vic then realized that there was still a big gap between his overall view and that of the old man.
The old man is just doing great things quietly, and he is targeting big pirates like Golden Lion. Vic now feels that the big figures in the navy cannot be judged by appearance, and they are all like Old Six.
Even an old man who appears to be honest is like this. Look at the titles and positions of Sengoku and He. One is called a wise general and the other is a chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters?
Even if you tell Vic that the old man has domineering aura and domineering power, he will probably believe it. Vic feels that being a marine is very difficult, being a senior marine is even more difficult, and being a marine admiral is even more difficult.
"Old thief! Were you the one who was causing trouble last time? I thought Kaido was playing a trick on me. If there hadn't been a patient on the ship, I would have gone up and killed you. You wouldn't have had the chance to complain here now.
"Old man! I will take care of the Golden Lion, and Rebecca and the others will be responsible for his men. You just need to stay in the rear!"
Vic transferred the pain in his shoulder to his anger towards the Golden Lion. He really thought that Kaido was causing trouble. After all, lightning was not something that the Golden Lion could release.
So after a series of situations, when the island fell down, he did not think of the Golden Lion. After all, Kaido could use the flame cloud to transport the island, and Kaido would be the one taking the blame at that time.
Only now did he realize that it was a coincidence. The previous ones were all natural disasters, and only the last few islands were destroyed by the golden lion.
But that's not okay, there's a grudge. King Luffy can beat Golden Lion in the third gear, so there's no reason why I can't beat him now, right? So Victor is now ready to fight a strong man like Golden Lion. They are both capable of swordsmanship and are very suitable to be his opponents.
"Vic! Did you meet the Golden Lion the last time I was sick?"
Wendy's words were a little trembling, the name of Golden Lion was as famous as the Pirate King Roger, even more famous than Big Mom. He didn't expect that he would be targeted by such a strong man when he was unconscious!
She was lucky to be alive now, or Vic was really powerful, which allowed her to survive. She witnessed the whole scene of the island falling down just now, and the feeling of oppression was really strong. Wendy had made up her mind, and she would not even frown even if Vic asked her to die.
"He admitted it himself. I thought it was Kaido last time. I was planning to seek revenge on Kaido someday. Now the real culprit has surfaced. We can just go up and let the old man take a rest!"
Vic said casually, as if he didn't take the golden lion seriously.
"Wendy! You are so pitiful! You didn't die from the illness, but you were almost killed by this old man using the island. We want to avenge you!"
Rebecca hugged Wendy and comforted her, but her words sounded a little brainless. Vic was very upset after hearing this. Is this human language? Fortunately, they were acquaintances and understood each other. Otherwise, if Rebecca spoke like this, she would be beaten outside.
