Chapter 446 The Legend of the Curse
According to the original timeline, his promotion to admiral should have happened in the past two years, and was affected by the incident in which Fisher Tiger burned down the holy land and let Endeavour run away.
The World Government ordered that no one would be promoted to admiral of the navy unless the main culprit was caught. Then Tiger fled at sea for three years before he was reported in Kerla's hometown. Major General Stoloberry took action, and only after the matter was resolved did Kizaru become admiral of the navy.
Vic didn't know whether his arrival would affect his promotion. If not, he would have three more years to accumulate his reputation and military merits.
If it had an impact, it would mean that the five old men of the World Government would not want him to participate in the promotion, which would be a bit difficult to deal with.
"Vic! What are you thinking about? So absorbed?"
Gion saw Vic's eyes wandering and he was deep in thought, so she asked curiously. Vic was rarely in this state, and she was afraid that Vic was hit hard by what happened today.
Although many people were saved, what if someone else was saved? How many people dared to be like Vic? How many such things would happen in this ocean? This is just the tip of the iceberg.
"I was wondering how you could be so fast just now. I went there directly as an element, and you arrived in just a few breaths. This speed has surpassed many powerful people!"
Vic came back to his senses and thought for a moment before saying that he was indeed very surprised at the time, but the situation was not suitable for asking so he let it go. Now was a good opportunity to ask.
"That? It's the Six-Style Razor! I didn't use it this fast before, but last time, in order to prevent you from being hit by Barrett's palm, I unconsciously used the Razor to knock you away. I don't know how the speed was so fast.
The speed at that time felt faster than now. After being cured by you, I wanted to find that feeling again. My speed has improved a lot now, but it has not reached the level of that time yet!"
Gion did not hide anything and told Vic how he improved his speed. Perhaps he also wanted Vic to teach him how to reach that state again.
After hearing what Gion said, Vic understood. Like his Moon Step, Gion's "Shave" has entered another level. The Six-style Shave is famous for its speed. After Gion reached another level, the speed has been greatly improved. It is not known whether Gion gained or lost money by being injured this time, but his ability to protect himself has become stronger.
Vic had no way of teaching him this. His speed didn't depend entirely on shaving, and his shaving skills hadn't reached another level yet.
However, he told everyone about the advanced uses he had guessed, using his Moon Steps and Gion's shaving as examples so that they could also know the direction.
Vic doesn't expect them all to reach a high level, but he would be very happy if someone did, as these skills are very helpful in actual combat.
......
After Vic and his companions left the island, people from the World Government soon came to investigate the situation. Seeing the bodies of their own people all over the ground, they were very angry and captured some civilians who were transporting sea king meat back to inquire about the situation.
When they heard civilians say it was a punishment from God, they didn't believe it at all. But after asking many people and everyone saying they died one after another, they realized something was wrong.
After checking all the bodies, they found no external injuries at all. All the deaths were caused by internal problems. This made them a little suspicious. After thinking it over again and again, they decided to kill everyone here first!
But at this moment the same thing happened again, and all the government officials died again. This was of course done by Vic who hid on the island after returning with his lightning ability. He knew there would be a follow-up and was not very reassured about this place.
After that, a legend spread that the island was cursed by the gods. Anyone who was not born on the island and appeared on the island with malicious intent would die inexplicably, and the cause of death was different each time. This was a curse from the gods.
This curse was actually spread by a resident on the island. After two incidents, he accidentally ate a devil fruit on the island. This devil fruit was actually the ability of one of the people killed by Victor.
After this man died, his ability was regenerated as a devil fruit on the island. He used this devil fruit to capture some people with bad intentions, and then killed them in different ways and threw them to different places on the street at night.
The inspiration came from Vic. With Vic's example, he followed suit and, under deliberate guidance, the rumor spread. Later, people who went to the island did not dare to do evil easily, and they could survive here with difficulty. Of course, this is a later story and did not affect the navigation of the warship.
As time passed, the warship got closer and closer to the Red Earth Continent. Vic and his companions gradually put aside the things on the island and their lives returned to normal.
During this period, Gion came to Vic to talk many times in the middle of the night, and insisted that Vic show her his abilities. In the end, they left satisfied. This has become a daily routine for the two of them, and they are tacitly aware of it.
Anyway, there was no physical contact, and Gion was in a good mood every day, and her skin became more hydrated, smooth and elastic.
Vic not only uses his ability to make Gion..., but also uses his ability to adjust the imbalances and problems in her body. Now that her body and mind are fine, Gion's skin will naturally be in the most perfect condition.
This made Rebecca and the other girls extremely envious. It was not a big deal for the younger ones as they had faces full of collagen. The ones they envied the most were the sisters from Gion as they were much older than Rebecca and the others. Gion could only attribute the problem to Vic's treatment and could not talk about anything in depth.
Apart from occasionally dealing with Gion, Vic spends most of his time practicing. The warship is not his and he does not need to command it, Kake will arrange it.
Ian also has Rebecca and the others to take care of her, so Vic just needs to find something for her to do. Rebecca and the others don't need Vic to remind them about their practice. Although they don't work as hard as he does, they are also working very hard.
Vic now has the feeling of leading a warship alone on a mission. When the time comes, he will just need to replace Kaji with Barnett, and he will only need to take action and speak at the critical moment.
With Vic, Kake and Gion there, the warship sailed smoothly and Vic didn't need to take action against any pirates he encountered along the way.
The time it takes for the warship to reach the Red Earth Continent is much longer than the time it takes Vic to find Barrett on the Dog-Head Warship. He had been struggling to get there when he went to provide support, and now that he has nothing to do, it will naturally take longer.
This time the warship is still sailing on the red soil continent. There are too many uncertainties in sailing on the seabed. There are also imprisoned pirates on the warship, and they are heavyweights, so they cannot take risks easily.
The warship did not go to the G1 branch for supplies, and the crossing of the Red Earth Continent was also arranged by Jiaji. Vic did not leave the hatch of the warship during the crossing of the Red Earth Continent this time, and only walked out of the cabin when the warship returned to the sea of Paradise.
