Chapter 344: Accidents
Golden Lion was very surprised to see the Ryuying on Vic's double swords. Of course he also knew Ryuying, but he was much older than Vic when he learned it. That was a power he came into contact with after he went to the New World.
It was precisely because he mastered the power of domineering and the ability of the Float-Float Fruit that he was valued by Rocks and recruited under his command. The swordsmanship, fruit and domineering displayed by Vic at a young age were beyond his expectations.
He seemed to see young Garp and Roger. Although Garp did not know swordsmanship, these three grew up extremely savagely. They were representatives of excellent talent and their future achievements were limitless.
He recalled what happened in the Valley of the Gods that day. Captain Rocks, who could easily suppress him, was defeated by two rising stars. Later, one of them traveled around the world and became the Pirate King, and the other became a navy legend and was given the title of navy hero. What kind of role will Vic become in the future? The Golden Lion fell into deep thought!
"Kid! What's your name? Be my right-hand man. Together we can become the king of the world! Hahahahaha,
What is the future of being a navy officer? The highest you can do is to be a naval marshal who listens to orders from others. A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under others for a long time!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we ruled the world together? I'm already very old, and by then the world will belong to you alone, right?"
The Golden Lion was inspired by Vic's talent. After using Ryusakura to block Vic's attack, he said that he saw the shadow of Roger in Vic, but Vic was younger and had huge room for growth.
The most important thing is that Vic is a navy now. If he can be won over, it would be a slap in the face of the navy, which is really the best thing. He doesn't care whether Garp on the sea below can hear it or not. It doesn't matter to the old rival.
"Old thief! Don't mess up my morale. I didn't join the navy for status. You are too narrow-minded. You can only think of ruling the world. Have you ever thought about changing the world?"
Golden Lion has a big heart, but he can't realize his ideals by himself. Vic knows something about the future and can't be credulous. The old man is still down there, and if he makes any inappropriate remarks, the old man might kill him directly. He can't beat the old man now.
Vic was talking, but his hands didn't stop at all. He directly used his ultimate move to attack the Golden Lion. The Golden Lion had to do his best. Although Vic's domineering aura was not at the top of the sea, due to his physical condition and age, the Golden Lion's domineering aura was no longer at its peak. He had a hard time against Vic's attack and could only resist with difficulty, but Vic's domineering aura still invaded his body.
Seeing Vic's determined attack, Golden Lion didn't say anything. Even if he wanted to say something, it would be after defeating Vic. Besides, he was no match for Vic's attack. The two of them flashed everywhere in the air, and the air was shaking and producing water mist, dancing with the brilliant colors of the flowing cherry blossoms. Vic's attack was fierce and sharp, while Golden Lion fought and retreated to defend himself.
As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. Although Golden Lion is a strong man from the older generation, Vic also has a lot of experience in fighting with strong men from the older generation. The big knife has hit Golden Lion several times.
Although the Golden Lion sensed the damage in advance with its Observation Haki and used its Armament Haki to harden itself to resist, it still suffered damage inside its body.
Finally, when Vic chopped the golden lion's chest with a knife, it reached its limit. The body could no longer bear it. Although the golden lion was not injured, blood spurted out of its mouth.
The Golden Lion's internal injuries had accumulated to a certain extent and he could no longer hold it in. After vomiting blood, he took a big step back from Vic. Vic saw the Golden Lion vomiting blood but did not chase him closely. He didn't know whether the Golden Lion was playing a trick on him or whether there was any conspiracy waiting for him. After all, he was a strong man from the older generation.
After the Golden Lion moved away from Vic, he looked at Vic with astonishment, his chest heaving up and down as he gasped. Although the ability of the Float-Float Fruit had been developed to an extremely high level by him and it consumed very little physical strength to use, Vic's attack was too fierce and he needed to fight with all his strength and full concentration!
After the battle, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He had never seen such a young man in all his years at sea. Maybe young Rocks also had such talent, but he had never seen it.
Even Roger and Garp were just rookies at sea at Vic's age. They grew up through the subsequent battles.
But Vic seemed to have suddenly appeared in the sea. He was so powerful as soon as he appeared. The growth process in between was too short. The human body does not allow such barbaric development. This is something he can't understand at all.
Vic had posed a life threat to a powerful old man like him, but what Golden Lion didn't know was that Vic had already touched the origin of domineering. Whether it was the awakening, growth and application of domineering, he was pointing directly to the essence of domineering.
Instead of using domineering aura ignorantly and passively, the gap between the two is huge and cannot be made up by hard work. What's more, Wick practices harder than anyone else, and has the guidance and practical experience of strong people like Zephyr and Garp. It makes no sense for him not to be strong.
"Kid! Where did you come from, little monster? Did Garp find you in the New World?"
Golden Lion thinks that Vic’s ability to fight at this age has a lot to do with his birthplace. The environment has a huge impact on a person’s growth.
With Golden Lion's experience and knowledge, he didn't think that Vic was born in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line. The foundation of those positions could not support Vic's growth at all. Only the cannibalistic world of the New World could prompt people with excellent talents to grow rapidly. He still wanted the image of the person in front of him to return to the world he was familiar with, so that his dreams and ambitions would not be shattered.
"I was born in the East China Sea, and I joined the navy only in the past two years. If you had found me earlier, maybe I would have become a pirate with you, hahaha!
What a pity! The one who found me first was a naval hero! In order to avoid being killed by him, I had no choice but to join the navy! "
Vic said with emotion. It was he who took the initiative to find Garp and wanted to join the navy, so it was a self-recommendation. He said this actually to stimulate the Golden Lion.
Ever since the rudder was inserted into Golden Lion's head, he sometimes exhibits symptoms of mental illness and imagines himself as a rooster. This unpredictable onset of the disease is his weakness. It is necessary to do so when it is uncertain how strong Golden Lion is. The slightest flaw between strong men will lead to defeat. Vic just hopes that it is Golden Lion who has the flaw.
