Chapter 358: The First Battle of the Floating Fruit

Whether it is strength, ability or wisdom, Vic will be at the top level in the future. He may be a little immature now due to his age and vision, but he will definitely have a bright future. He is very good at judging people.

"I'm also preparing for a rainy day to keep any accidents away from me. I don't want to lose control of my body. What I want is absolute control over my body and destiny!" Vic said softly. Although he felt a little weak, he didn't collapse to the ground.

"Report! Vice Admiral Garp! A pirate ship has appeared ahead. It is estimated that the warship will catch up in ten minutes!"

While Garp and Wick were talking, a marine received information from the lookout and came to Garp to report the news. Although it was still in the East China Sea, there were still pirates in the East China Sea, but none of them were particularly strong.

The Dog-Headed Warship is sailing towards Upside-Down Mountain. It is not surprising to encounter a pirate ship that wants to go to the Grand Line, as everyone's destination is the same.

"Hahaha! I have something to do. Bring me the shells. I want to sink them to the bottom of the sea!"

Upon hearing about the pirates appearing ahead, Garp became visibly excited, not only because he wanted to reduce the number of pirates in the East China Sea, but also because of the warlike factor in his blood. Victor's injuries had not yet fully healed, and he had been a little idle recently, so when pirates appeared, he wanted to do something.

"Old man! I don't think this is necessary. You should take a good rest. Let Rebecca deal with this group of pirates. It's a good opportunity to see how effective her new ability is in actual combat. There are many pirates on the Grand Line. There is no need to rush!"

The marines were stopped by Vic before they could go down to prepare the shells. The pirates from the East China Sea were just little Karami in front of the old man. It was really a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It didn't matter whether they took action or not. It was most appropriate to leave this opportunity to Rebecca who had just gained power.

"Will I go? Vice Admiral Garp! Then I will go!"

After hearing what Vic said, Rebecca also wanted to try the power of the flying sword. She looked at Karp with blinking eyes and asked tentatively. She was not as casual as Vic was towards Karp and was still in awe of Karp.

"Go! Go! It's boring, Vic! Your injury should be almost healed, then we can practice!"

Hearing what Wick said, Garp did not insist. The pirates in the East China Sea were indeed not worth mentioning. He just wanted to fight. Since this battle would help Rebecca, he would definitely support it. It didn't matter if he was idle for a while. Anyway, Wick would be able to spar with him soon. He was looking forward to seeing Wick trembling under his tyranny.

Hearing Garp's affirmation, the sword box behind Rebecca opened and closed, and a flying sword quickly flew out and floated beside her feet. She took a step and stood firmly on the flying sword.

The flying sword also flew towards the front of the warship at the same time Rebecca jumped on it. The series of actions seemed to have been practiced thousands of times, and the highlight was their smoothness.

The pirate ship was now visible to the naked eye. Although it looked like a model, in the eyes of Vic and Garp, the people on the pirate ship were clearly visible. Their eyesight was beyond that of ordinary people.

Rebecca was very fast and had already arrived close to the pirate ship on her flying sword. The lookout on the pirate ship also saw the dog-head warship through the telescope.

The dog-headed warship was much bigger than the pirate ship and had been spotted long ago. Although the pirate ship was more flexible, the warship was more technologically advanced and faster. The pirates were still thinking about how to get rid of the warship when they saw a slender figure flying over on something.

"Captain! Someone is flying over here! What should we do?"

A pirate who had been watching the direction of the warship saw Rebecca flying towards them and hurriedly reported the discovery to his captain.

The pirates in the East China Sea were not only out of touch with the news, but also not very strong. They were a little scared to see someone who could fly. They had never seen such a person before, and they knew that he was not a weakling. So when they heard the news, the pirates were a little scared.

"Are you here? What bad luck! With old man Garp in the East China Sea, it's so hard for us pirates to make a name for ourselves. The Pirate King's hometown has been turned into the weakest ocean by that old man Garp. Damn it!"

A tall and thin man dressed as a swordsman had an indignant look on his face. The scar on his face kept twitching due to his excitement. He had a long and curly mustache, wore a cowboy hat, and had two long knives slanted on his waist.

Although he hated and feared Garp in his heart, he had already realized that from the moment he became a pirate, he had already put life and death aside.

In such a world, one has to risk his life for his ambition. This time, he heard the news that the Vice Admiral Hero Garp of the Navy Headquarters was cracking down on pirates in the East China Sea. He wanted to take a gamble and go directly to the Grand Line to avoid this big devil.

He was just unlucky and happened to run into the Dog-Headed Warship returning to the Grand Line. He thought that the navy had received the news and was chasing him. Although he felt a little desperate, he would not surrender. The worst that could happen was death, and he would rather die in battle. So when he heard the report from his younger brother, he was ready to fight with the newcomers!

When he turned around and prepared to go to the stern of the ship, he saw a slender and ethereal figure approaching.

He was floating on the side of the pirate ship with a slender white sharp blade under his feet. Although he was carrying a long wooden box on his back, which looked a bit strange, the hilt of the sword exposed at his waist still allowed him to know his occupation. He was a swordsman like him.

Looking at the other person's beautiful face again, he was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a woman with such a unique temperament.

It may be because he deals with pirates a lot, and the standard for female pirates is to be tall and fat, otherwise it is difficult for them to stand out. Ordinary civilian women are weak and do not have the ethereal temperament of Rebecca, so he was shocked by her beauty. However, as a swordsman, he quickly came to his senses. This woman is his enemy!

"You are a swordsman."

Rebecca also felt the opponent's sharp aura and saw the hilt of the sword on the opponent's waist. She knew with her observation Haki that the swordsman with a stronger aura was the captain of the pirates and her target this time.

Swordsman, ability user or something else, it makes no difference to her. Anyway, she is here to demonstrate the power of the Float-Float Fruit. If it were normal, a swordsman would be more to her liking.

"Yes! Aren't you worried that you won't be able to return after coming here alone? That old guy Garp is so confident in letting you act alone! Did he overestimate you or underestimate me? I am a pirate with a bounty of over 2500 million! I am rare in the East China Sea!"

Although the pirate leader didn't know how Rebecca flew, he didn't care much. As long as it wasn't old man Garp who took action personally, he felt he still had a chance of survival.
