Chapter 408 Shanks' Intuition
"Vic might be a bit stronger than me! Although I'm much stronger now, I still can't defeat the Golden Lion.
I saw with my own eyes how powerful the Golden Lion was back then. His strength was on par with Captain Roger.
There have been many battles between our two pirate groups. I have a deep understanding of the strength of Golden Lion. Even though he is old now and has lost his legs, his fighting power cannot be underestimated.
Although we are now on opposite sides, we don’t have to fight each other when we meet. Vic gives me a very good impression. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I really want to have a drink and a party with him!"
Shanks held a newspaper in one hand and sipped from a wine glass in the other, with a faint smile on his face, glancing at the newspaper in his hand from time to time.
He was not worried because Vic was a navy and had become so powerful. Vic was not the person Captain Roger was waiting for. It was more likely that he was a witness like himself, and they would have many intersections in the future.
"We only met once, right? Do you trust him so much?"
Beckman is still very rational. After all, they are on opposite sides. Fortunately, they are pirates and have freedom, so they can do whatever they want.
But Vic is not the head of the navy. He has many people under his control and he has to obey orders. If his superiors give him an order to hunt down his own pirate group, how will he get along with them?
After all, they had only met once and the two sides didn't know each other that well. Although Shanks trusted the marine, he still had to be vigilant and remind himself. He had always been a calm person.
"Once is enough. With some people, you can tell what kind of person they are after just one encounter. It's hard to explain that feeling, but it gives people a sense of closeness. No matter what our camp is, it doesn't affect our personal relationship.
When he came to Shampoo to find us, he knew we were pirates. He saw our pirate ship. He knew we were pirates, but he still came to us for help? The navy asked pirates for help like this?
That was a big risk. He trusted us so much when we first met. I thought he had the same intuition as I did!
You can learn more about his style of doing things. Apart from being constrained, his style of doing things is very similar to ours. Because of his status, he may do better than us! "
After saying this, Shanks looked up at the battlefield which had not yet been cleaned up. Although they were also pirates, what they did was not bad. They were just a little arbitrary and not as good as the navy. However, they were already a breath of fresh air among pirates.
"This is something I can't understand. Vic was already a marine at that time, but because he was a new recruit, no one knew his identity.
But he knew our identities, so there was nothing wrong with it. A young man who had just started out was seeking help, and we chose to help him because he was interesting. Putting aside our identities, this was indeed normal.
But now that I know his identity, thinking back on what happened at that time, it does seem very unreasonable. It's not that there is any conspiracy, but it seems that he trusts us very much.
If I want to explain it, I guess the only way is the intuition you mentioned. Do people with high talents have such strong intuition? "
Beckman has a high IQ, but he can't analyze the situation clearly. He can only attribute it to the fact that people with high talents can produce strong resonance. He doesn't know that Wick only knows some plots and has some understanding of Shanks. He has a strong subjective consciousness. As for whether he has intuition or not, it is hard to say. It is estimated that if he has intuition, it will be covered up by subjective consciousness.
"Hahaha! It's really hard to describe intuition. When I first saw Uta, I actually saw the scene where Captain Roger opened the box and found me.
That was the first time I met Captain Roger. It must be that seeing Uta's familiar scene triggered the memory deep in my heart. It might also be an intuition, an intuition to raise Uta.
There is no need to think too much about Vic. My intuition tells me that we will meet again in the new world, and I must spar with him again then!"
When Shanks mentioned Uta, he had already raised his eyes from the newspaper and was looking at the small figure in the field with a smile. Uta was standing on a wooden box in the middle of his companions and singing.
Marine Headquarters Marineford
In the Admiral's office in the Navy Headquarters Building, Cyborg Sora was sitting behind his desk with a resolute and tough temperament. He lowered his eyes and looked at the newspaper on the desk. The newspaper was the front-page headline of Wick killing the Golden Lion. The current and only admiral, Sengoku, was sitting on the sofa to the left of the desk, and a white lamb was chewing something at his feet.
"What on earth does this guy Garp want to do? Isn't it a good thing to kill the Golden Lion? Why didn't he report this important news? If it weren't for that birdman Morgans reporting it, we would have known nothing until now! He is still so reckless!"
Kong Cyborg was a little depressed. He had always known that Garp never listened to orders and liked to do things his own way, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't fight him, but he was reluctant to kick him out of the navy.
But this time it has little to do with Garp, why would he hide it? Steel Bone Kong just couldn't figure it out.
Suppress Vic? Is this possible? Vic was brought to the Navy by him, and he defended him many times. He is a junior that he values very much. Another thing is that this matter cannot be suppressed. The person involved cannot pretend that nothing happened, right?
The two of them had communicated in advance? But what was their purpose? They didn't want to be so high-profile, they wanted to hide their strength, and they were going to attack someone or a group to create a misinformation gap? Were they going to fight the pirates in the New World? We couldn't do these things at this stage! It would be a ripple effect, and it would be a bad ending. Steel Bone Sora was a little worried!
"I guess Garp has high expectations for Vic. He also knows the news of his promotion to admiral. He wants Vic to have a place in this promotion!
The information from Golden Lion was not accurate. It was provided by a pirate and we have no way to confirm its authenticity. We will not take action against pirates of this level and uncertain information.
But Cap insisted on going, and he even took Vic and the other freshly graduated recruits with him, saying that even if they didn't meet the Golden Lion, they could still see their grandson.
I thought he was just looking for an excuse to go back to the East China Sea to see his grandson, and he would come back after seeing his grandson. I even gave him the rest of the tasks directly, so he didn't have to go back to the headquarters.
I didn't expect that this guy's real purpose was to get the Golden Lion. Seeing my grandson was just a cover. He knows me too well and has calculated me to death!"
