Chapter 391: Reuniting with Rebecca
As long as the Dog-Head Warship keeps sailing, it will be able to reach the Seven Water City before the tsunami. At that time, it will be safe to drive the warship directly into the dock.
If no one goes ahead, it will take some time to find a dock, and even if there is a dock at that time, no one would dare to open it. The tsunami is imminent, and every ordinary person would be afraid. It will definitely become very troublesome by then.
"Hahahaha! Well done Vic. I knew it would be right to let you go. So that's it. The wind is too strong. I'll contact you when you get there!"
A hearty and heroic laugh came from the other end of the phone, and even Den Den Mushi looked like a strong man.
After the old man finished speaking, he hung up the phone cleanly, without giving Vic any chance to speak. Vic could only smile bitterly and put away his Den Den Mushi, thinking that he was just a tool.
"Brother Vic! Is the guy who calls himself Garp on the other end of the Den Den Mushi the hero of the Navy, Garp?"
Tom waited until Vic put away the phone before asking cautiously. Although he was already sure in his heart, he still couldn't help but want to confirm it from Vic.
Garp's name is too famous. Just like Roger, there is no pirate who doesn't know that Roger is the Pirate King, just like there is no marine who doesn't know that Garp is a marine hero. Almost all ordinary people know these two men, except for those isolated places and people.
So Tom was a little overwhelmed when he found out that it was the legendary navy man Garp who was going to dock his warship at his shipyard!
He no longer doubted Vick's purpose, because a top naval figure like Garp would not accept such a secret mission.
Then it is impossible for Vic, who is a subordinate on the same ship, to have such a mission, unless he came here as a by-product of the Garp warship. However, from the conversation between the two just now, I know that it is not a by-product.
"Haha! That's right, it's the Garp you mentioned. He was the one who led me to join the navy. This time we sailed all the way from the East China Sea. I didn't expect to be so lucky to run into the Water Gods. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to meet!"
Although Vic is interested in the technology on Pluto, he would not deliberately approach Tom if he was just passing by the Water City. He might not have the time. After landing on the island, he would probably have to receive practical training from the old man, and after replenishing supplies, he would continue on his journey.
Vic has a backup plan. He knows that the Pluto battleship is quietly docked in Wano Country. Even if he doesn't have time here, he can go to Wano Country to see the real thing.
That way you can see it more clearly and specifically. Pluto is not the only one like this. This time it is just a coincidence. It would be a waste not to look at the drawings in front of you. Saving Tom's life in the future will be considered as compensation.
"I didn't expect it would be his warship. If you had told me his name earlier, I would have agreed to your docking of the warship. Hahahaha!"
Tom showed the most genuine smile. This was the first time Vic laughed after seeing Tom. When he heard that it was the warship of the naval hero, he completely let down his guard, which showed his trust in the old man.
"I just don't have enough face! I talked for a long time and even cooked a barbecue for you, but in the end you agreed just to eat my delicious food!"
Vic couldn't help but smile bitterly. If he had known that the old man's face was so useful, he would have used it long ago. He really did talk and do things just now. Not only was he busy, but he also had the task of cooking. Even so, he might not be able to get a heart-to-heart talk with Tom. At least Tom didn't laugh so heartily just now.
“Hahahaha! Vic! Why don’t you just give up on cooking from now on? Even though it’s delicious, isn’t it a bit too much to ask a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters to cook for you? Hahahaha!”
Tom was very happy to hear Vic joking, which meant that Vic was slowly integrating into their group and would be more casual when teaching him. He didn't like serious scenes very much.
Franky and Kokoro also laughed along with Tom. Even the big toad Yokozuna smiled and clapped his hands and shouted. Only Iceberg was a little confused. How come you guys suddenly became so harmonious? Why do I feel like I'm a little redundant?
"No need. Since I promised you, you must do it. You can't be complacent just because of the old man's face. I will also use my own face to travel all over this sea in the future!"
Vic rejected Tom's proposal seriously. He was full of confidence in his future and would not let these small things block his way to success. The improvement of his domineering color was closely related to everything, and small things would also have an impact.
Although small things are small, when accumulated over time they will affect a person's growth and make him or her lose the courage to take responsibility. It is not uncommon to see people who are usually very strong but cannot withstand setbacks.
People like Hawkins and Appo were defeated by Kaido at one time and completely lost their ambition to fight for the great treasure, so they were destined to not be able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki, even if they had the talent. But when they met Kaido again, Kidd was not afraid and did not surrender even after being beaten, so he was able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki, which is very reasonable.
"Hahaha! Not bad! You are indeed a young man that Garp values, a real man! I will witness your growth in the Water City."
Tom admired Vic's responsibility, which has always been his life creed, and he liked Vic even more.
Dong dong dong
The people in Vic and Tom's studio let down their guard and chatted more casually. He continued to grill food for them. The four of them and one frog were eating happily. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Wow! It's quite lively today. Another guest is here!"
Tom was a little surprised. The weather outside was already very bad. Not only was visibility low, but there was also strong winds and it had already started to rain. It was rare for someone to come to the door at this time.
Tom didn't socialize much on the island, and after listening to Vic's story he knew that Cap's warship was still some distance away, and he was very curious about who was outside?
Vic took a quick look and saw that it was Rebecca outside the door. Rebecca was much more polite than him and even knew to knock on the door.
Vic had entered directly as an element before, which was considered trespassing. However, he did not have any bad intentions. There was nothing valuable here. The only valuable thing was the design drawings of Pluto. Vic would just take a look at it and would not take anything away.
"Well! Bingshan, go open the door. I'm here to grill and can't leave. My companions must be here. We two came to the island as advance guards and are here now."
Vic called out to Iceberg, the kid who ate his barbecue and still had his nose and eyes gone.
Everyone else has accepted me, but this guy is still on guard against me. If you have the guts, just continue not eating barbecue. Let this stuffy boy see the beautiful girls in advance, so that you won’t be at a loss when being accused of sexual harassment in the future.
