Chapter 412: Meeting Akainu Again
The commander of the G1 branch was none other than Akainu. Although Garp had contacted in advance about coming here for supplies, Akainu did not come to the port to greet him.
This is also a very normal thing. They all have the rank of lieutenant general in this unit. Why should they greet him in person? What's more, he beat him up last time. There are some grudges between the two of them.
If the junior has no grudges against him, in order to respect Garp, the senior naval hero, he will generally go to greet him in person unless it is an important matter. This varies from person to person, and Garp doesn't care about these, as long as he can help him solve the supply issue.
The Dog-Headed warship docked at the port of the G1 branch. After Garp took over from the colonel who came for supplies, he led Vic and the others into the base.
This time, the supplies were directly used to fill up the warships. Since the naval branches in the New World were not as numerous as those in the Paradise, of course, we would only load as much as we could.
Pirates can just rob things directly in the New World, but the navy cannot do that. Without a naval base, they need to purchase things on their own. So this time, Vic and his men will stay at the G1 branch for a day and continue to move deeper into the New World tomorrow.
"Major General Vic! I heard that you have also become a natural ability user, and even have the title of Thunder God? The title of God cannot be used lightly!
I advise you to think twice and change your title. Don't anger people who shouldn't be angered. Also, don't tarnish the reputation of a natural ability user, or we will have to help you get promoted!"
When Vic and his friends arrived at the base, they met Akainu. It was unknown whether he was waiting here on purpose or they met him by chance.
However, when he saw Garp and Vic, he didn't show any special expression, still with a poker face. He didn't say anything to Garp, who had beaten him, but said a few words to Vic, with whom he had fought but the winner was not determined. It was unknown what his mentality and purpose were, which made Vic a little surprised and dissatisfied.
"Sakaski! You're nosy. There are so many nature-type ability users. Are all those who are not strong enough going to be killed?
Does that mean I am not worthy of eating the nature-type devil fruit if I can't beat you? You don't really think the magma fruit is the strongest, do you? We are going to stay here for a day, why don't we fight again? Let's see if I am worthy of eating the thunder fruit?"
Victor doesn't tolerate Akainu either, always acting superior. He has long wanted to fight Akainu again.
Moreover, Wick could also hear the deep respect for the Celestial Dragons in Akainu's words, which was completely different from the old man's attitude of treating them as trash. The two people's ideological realms were very different. Akainu would become the commander of the navy in the future, which was something Wick could not accept.
"You should know the destructive power of nature-type ability users. If two of us fight, there won't be anything left of the entire base. If you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Akainu's expression did not change. He glanced at Garp next to Vic and did not agree to Vic's challenge. After that, he walked away with the few people. Although he heard Vic say the word "coward" in a teasing tone behind him, he did not stop. He just twitched his eyes, his face became a little gloomy, and the back of his hand turned red as if it was about to melt, but it soon returned to its original state.
Vic felt a little regretful. He really wanted to see whether his laser temperature was higher or his magma temperature was higher. Was the magma vaporized by the laser or did the magma absorb the laser?
Vic is still very confident about the temperature of the laser, but Akainu doesn't give him the opportunity to test it. I don't know if he really does it for the sake of the overall situation, or is afraid of making a fool of himself because of Vic's residual power after killing the Golden Lion.
The last time Akainu fought with Victor, apart from having some advantages in Haki, he did not gain any advantages in physical skills and fruit abilities. No matter how strong his attack power was, it was useless if he couldn't hit the opponent.
Now that Vic has grown for almost a year and has eaten a natural devil fruit, he is not absolutely sure of defeating Vic, otherwise he will definitely take action to dampen Vic's enthusiasm and greatly reduce the prestige that Vic has accumulated after defeating the Golden Lion, and at the same time push himself up again.
He could also see that Vic had the ability to threaten his promotion to general, but he didn't want to become Vic's stepping stone unless he was absolutely sure.
The colonel who was meeting him was a little embarrassed. He didn't know what to say and stood there at a loss. One was his immediate superior, one was a heroic veteran of the navy, and the other was a newly rising supernova of the navy. The future was immeasurable. He couldn't afford to offend any of them!
If he had known earlier, he would have arranged the supply of the warships himself at the seaside. Last time, he saw Akainu being beaten by Garp, just outside this base. Now he can still see the site of destruction. He doesn't want to see it again, so he is still somewhat thankful.
Vic felt a little bored without a fight, so he took the two rabbits from Rebecca and went to the arranged room.
He was in a separate room this time. Not only was it his treatment as a major general, but he also needed a quiet and closed environment to practice. The objects were the two rabbits in his hands. Vic wanted to use them to practice, and he took one more for fear that one would not be enough.
After arriving at the naval base, everyone was not as alert as they were at sea. They could relax here, take a good shower and have a good sleep, and everyone went about their own business.
They will set sail again tomorrow morning, so they have to hurry up and do their own things. Only Vic is still practicing without any slack.
Sure enough, the next day Vic went out eating spicy rabbit meat, and he ate it in front of the live rabbit in his other hand without any hesitation.
The rabbit's red eyes showed a strong desire for the rabbit meat in Vic's hand, but Vic would never give it to him. If he didn't die, he should just eat vegetarian food and leave the meat for humans. The rabbit skin left over from Vic's eating of the rabbit meat was enough to make three sets of rabbit fur coats. It could only be said that Vic's current practice was not up to par.
Time passed, and Akainu did not appear again until the Dog-Headed Warship set sail. I don't know if it was because he couldn't stand Vic's weirdness and couldn't take any action, or if he had important things to do and really had no time to come.
Vic guessed that the first one was most likely the case, but he didn't care. Right now he and Akainu were probably evenly matched. He was definitely inferior to Akainu in terms of Haki, but it would be difficult for him to lose, and a battle without a winner was not worth it.
The Dog-Head Warship set sail without any setbacks. It was Vic and Rebecca's first time on a large ship sailing on the New World Ocean, so naturally they had different feelings!
The New World is a bigger stage and the stories here will be more exciting. Although Vic had the ability to come to the New World, he didn't.
