Chapter 452 Party
Vic is very humble and does not take on too much. He perfectly portrays the image of a man who is just and indifferent to fame and fortune. As a young sailor, it is normal for him to be upright.
This is what Vic said and did. When he saw the Celestial Dragons killing civilians, he also chose to take action, but the way he did it was different. Only by keeping a useful body can he do bigger things. Personal heroism is indeed very passionate, but it will also make him the target of public criticism.
"That's right! This is the original intention of our navy. To give the weak a living space, to make the strong fearful, and to give a platform to those with ambitions. This is the fundamental reason why our navy has persisted for so many years.
Garp has indeed brought back a gem to the Navy, Vic! Stick to your original intention and I hope you can shine in any position you choose!"
Kong Ganggu admires new naval forces like Vic who have potential and correct values. Only when there are more people like him can the navy not deteriorate. Only when such people lead the navy can the navy not be abandoned by the world.
"Marshal Kong spoke from the bottom of his heart. Many high-ranking officers in the navy did not understand the deeper meaning and thought that catching pirates was enough.
It is very difficult to catch all the pirates, and the impact of what happened during Roger's execution will last for decades. I hope that the new forces of our navy can keep up with the development of the times!
"Okay, Vic! Go back and rest first, we'll take care of you if anything happens!"
Zhan Guo was also very worried about the situation on the sea. In the past, he was just a naval admiral who only needed to go out to perform missions. Now there are too many things to consider, and many things have gone against his original intentions, but he had to go against them for the sake of the overall situation.
Vic didn't say anything more, just leaving a basic impression on the two people. After saying hello, Vic left the Marshal's office.
However, he did not notice that after he turned around, Kong Gu and Zhan Guo looked at his back with some complicated expressions. The Five Elders had already talked to them on the phone and the mission had been arranged before, but they did not mention it to Vic now.
Although the Five Elders did not tell them why they assigned such a task to Vic, the two of them had been in high-level positions for so long that they could clearly see that the Five Elders wanted to suppress Vic.
Although he could see it clearly, he couldn't tell Garp and Vic. It was obvious that Garp wanted to push Vic to the top. If he knew about this, who knows what would happen.
So, Cyber Kong had already given Wick a heads up in his words just now. He didn't want a talent like Wick to have a knot in his heart because of the World Government's backstabbing. Someone like Wick wouldn't appear again for decades. Although they had fought for Wick implicitly, the Five Elders were very determined. They had always had their own considerations for the commander-in-chief of the navy.
When Vic returned to the beach cabin, he found that almost everyone was there. Rebecca was controlling the flying sword to trim the weeds growing beside the cabin, while Wendy and Gion were cleaning the house.
Ian and Dashiqi were playing not far outside the house, Fredek was catching fish in the sea, and Barnett was processing the caught seafood.
Kaji was sitting in the cleared space smoking with an unhappy expression on his face. He became even more unhappy when he saw Vic coming back. He turned his head to the side and didn't look at Vic. It was a harmonious and beautiful scene. Seeing this scene, Vic smiled.
"Kaji! Are you just waiting to eat? Go and help. Go to the sea and get some sea kings to eat. These small fish and shrimps are too boring."
When Vic saw Kaji like this, he decided to tease him. It happened that Vic was happy because he got the Momo Fruit, and his appetite whetted and he wanted to eat meat. Besides, there were so many people who were big eaters, so it would be difficult for Fredek to catch fish alone.
"No! If you want to eat, go by yourself. I'll just eat some small fish. I'm not picky!"
Kaji didn't want to listen to Vic. He didn't want to come here in the first place. It was Gion who called him here to clean up the garbage. Why should he clean up Vic's house? He was already very angry, and now he was even more unhappy to be ordered by Vic.
"Vic! You're back. Please sit outside for a while. The house will be cleaned soon and we can sleep there tonight!
"Well, Kaji! Vic eats too much, there must not be enough food, go to the sea and catch a big one, if it's a small one, don't come back!"
When Gion heard Vic's voice, he immediately ran out of the cabin. He was very gentle when talking to Vic, with a mop in his hand, but his expression immediately became serious when talking to Kake.
Kaji is the most idle person here right now, and Vic, who has the ability of the devil fruit, cannot go into the water. Since Vic wants to eat meat, Gion must satisfy Vic. If Kaji doesn't go, who will go?
Kake could only stand up dejectedly and walk towards the beach. He was under Gion's control and was muttering something under his breath. It was probably not something good and it was probably directed at Vic. Vic did not care about him either. As long as he had meat to eat, it was enough.
The dinner was very sumptuous, and since they were at the Navy Headquarters, they didn't have to worry about safety and could eat and drink to their heart's content. Everyone was very happy, except for Kake, who seemed to be eating Vic's flesh. Maybe he really wanted to eat Vic, but he couldn't beat him.
"Rebecca! You haven't been to Vice Admiral Tsuru yet, right? Go see her tomorrow with Gion. Vice Admiral Tsuru will be very happy to see you, and will be pleased to see that you are so strong now. Vice Admiral Tsuru will be happier than anyone else if you can protect yourself!"
Vic swallowed the fruit wine in his mouth and said to Rebecca that Rebecca was no different from an orphan now, almost the same as Vic, but Rebecca still had an old lady named Crane who cared about her, so Vic wanted Rebecca to maintain this relationship.
"Well! Tomorrow I will go to see Granny Tsuru with Sister Gion!" Rebecca had the same idea in her mind, but Vic asked her to come back and clean up the place first.
"Your relationship is a bit complicated. Rebecca calls Gion sister, Gion calls Vice Admiral Tsuru sister, and Rebecca calls Vice Admiral Tsuru mother-in-law. How do you think this works?" Kake said in confusion, holding a piece of meat in his hand.
"It's none of your business!"
Rebecca and Gion said in unison that Kake didn't know why the two women suddenly got angry and were scolded until they lost their temper. How could he know what the two women were thinking? It wouldn't do if they were of different generations.
Gion seemed to be in a good mood. He drank a lot of wine and persuaded Rebecca to drink a lot. By the time everyone had eaten and drunk well, Gion was unconscious and Rebecca was already 80% drunk.
Only Kake was relatively sober. Three men and one woman left together. Only Vic and four women, two adults and two children, were left in the cabin. Gion was drunk and couldn't leave by herself, so she had to squeeze into one bed with Rebecca. With the two little ones sleeping together, Vic didn't need a bed anymore.
