Chapter 437 Garp's New Arrangement
"Got it. I won't tell anyone. Here! Here's your knife. I've already cleaned it for you. Barrett is not dead. He's been locked up in a cell on the warship!"
Rebecca listened to Vic's words very well. She responded and handed the blood stick that Vic had inserted into Barrett's body to him.
Rebecca expressed regret that Barrett was not dead. This girl's attitude towards pirates was the same as Vic's. She believed that the life and death of pirates depended on their performance. Last time, she let go of a bounty hunter who had just joined the pirate group.
"Let's go! Go out and take a look, don't let everyone worry!" Vic took the knife that Xueku had inserted into the sheath at his waist, said hello, and pushed Gion towards the deck.
Vic pushed Gion in front, and Rebecca and Ian followed behind him. When Vic arrived at the cabin door, he saw several people on the deck sighing.
Only the old man remained calm, but his brows were furrowed. Kake was looking at the sky with lifeless eyes, as if he had lost his soul. The deck was filled with sadness. Seeing this scene, Vic smiled and pushed Gion out of the cabin door and onto the deck.
"Ok?"
Garp was the first to sense the change. Although he did not activate his Observation Haki, the intuition of a strong man was also very abnormal. Then he saw Gion sitting in a wheelchair.
Gion's skin is better than before he was injured. His cheeks are as smooth as his own with a hint of blush. His eyes are brighter and his complexion is healthier than before he was injured. He doesn't look like someone who has just suffered a fatal injury at all. The tragedy that happened before seems like a dream!
Cap's voice startled the others, and they all looked towards Vic as they heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling on the deck.
It was incredible to see that Gion was really cured by Vic. Even the top doctors need a process to treat injuries, right?
The healing process would not be short for an injury like Gion's, it would take at least a few months, but how long did it take Vic? Two and a half hours at most, the time it takes to give someone a bath, healed him, was this really not an illusion?
The most excited one was Kake, who rushed over and wanted to hug Gion, but Vic pulled out the blood stick from his waist and pressed it against his chest.
Vic was not as ruthless as Rebecca who drew her sword and pushed it forward directly. Vic had a scabbard. Not to mention that Gion's bones were broken and he could not be affected by external force, even if his bones were not broken, he could not let Kaji hug him. He and Gion already had a one-sided and honest relationship.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for saving Gion, Vic! You are my idol, my god!"
Seeing that Vic was also like this, Kaji did not move forward, but just kept thanking Vic, as if Vic had saved his life.
"All the bones in Gion's body are broken. You can't touch her now. Everyone, please restrain yourself!"
Vic explained that he was not a protective person and that it was mainly for the good of the patients.
Seeing Vic's behavior, Gion curled up a sweet smile on her face. Her efforts were finally rewarded.
Vic took back the blood and put it back on his waist. Kaji, Wendy and the others came over to ask about the situation and show concern, which swept away the depressed mood just now.
"Vic! What is the situation in Gion now? Can it be restored to its original state?"
Garp came over and asked, he was more concerned about Gion's condition. If Vic couldn't do it, he would contact Cyborg Sora and ask the World Government. Garp was very good to the soldiers who followed him, which was why he was deeply loved by his subordinates.
"Of course! I am confident that I can restore Gion to his original state, but this treatment is too damaging to his vitality, and it may have some impact on Gion's lifespan!"
Vic was not lying. The number of times human cells divide is limited, which is directly related to human lifespan.
Although Vic accelerated the division of cells in Gion's body this time, allowing her to recover quickly, the price she paid was her life, and this cannot be cheated.
Of course, Vic only compressed the time used for long-term recovery to within two and a half hours. The life span consumed was actually the time Gion used to lie in bed to recover to health. This time might be even shorter because most of the time lying in bed was wasted.
If you really think about it, Vic simply cut out the time for bed rest and recovery. I guess Gion didn't want to waste that time lying in bed.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you hadn't saved him, Gion might not have even survived. It's a stroke of luck that we have the current result!
Then Gion will be handed over to you. Although this mission had some flaws, it was completed successfully.
Barrett must be escorted to Impel Down. A strong man like him is not safe even with seastone handcuffs. Either you or I must leave one behind to escort him this time.
Your contributions over the past few times are more than enough for you to be promoted to lieutenant general, so I'll leave this escort to you. Then go back to the headquarters and prepare for the promotion!"
Knowing that there were no major problems in Gion, Garp started talking about business. It was impossible for both of their high-end fighters to be used to escort Barrett, as that would be a waste.
Barrett has been seriously injured by Vic, and with the help of seastone handcuffs, one of them would be enough to suppress him, but they have to be prepared for any eventuality, so they cannot let Kaji escort him alone. If something goes wrong, all their efforts will be in vain. It just so happens that it is time for Vic to be promoted, so it is most appropriate to let Vic escort him.
"Okay, then I'll take the warship they have with me. What about the others?"
Vic also knew that Barrett was not someone to be trifled with. It was conceivable that he would become stronger and stronger while advancing through the city with the seastone handcuffs. If he suddenly attacked during the escort, Jia Ji might not be able to stop him. Besides, Vic was willing to make this trip.
"All of you go to the Kake warship. Gion will definitely go with you. Kake also needs to go back to the headquarters. They haven't been back for half a year. This time, the two of them will probably be promoted together. I have other tasks here, so go alone!"
Garp's meaning was very clear. Vic's small group and Kake's previous team would escort Barrett, then return to the headquarters for promotion, and he himself would lead the warship to carry out the mission.
"Old man! Do all the lieutenant generals in this department have code names, like Aokiji of Kuzan?"
Vic was actually asking the question even though he already knew the answer. All the lieutenant generals in this department had an animal-related code name, and he just wanted the old man to recommend a code name of his own to the department.
"Yes! All lieutenant generals in this department have them. Starting from our next generation, we don't have such code names, but we have our own titles.
You three are special. You all have the potential to become admirals in the future, so you should choose animals from those twelve.
Of course, we have to exclude the three animals Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino, and then add the colors that represent you, and that will be your code name."
Cap had no idea that Vic was setting a trap, so he explained everything in detail.
"So what color do you think represents me, old man?"
What Vic was waiting for was Garp's introduction, so that he could go with the flow. After Vic asked this question, he immediately covered his entire body with the armament color, fearing that Garp would not say that it was suitable for black.
"Uh! Every time you fight, you like to cover your entire body with your armament color. Black really suits you. So what should your code name be? Black Horse? Black Snake? Black Sheep? Black Pig? Let Sengoku and the others decide. I'm not good at this."
