Chapter 464 I have to do it

"I can't shirk this mission. What's not clearly stated on this piece of paper is what I have to do. General Zhan Guo asked me to assess those people on the bounty order. Given their strength, it's not something that can be done by just sending anyone!

At that time, I was the only one who was suitable for this mission in the headquarters, and it was an order from the Admiral and the Marshal. How could I, a newly promoted Lieutenant General, refuse? What would they think? What would the World Government think? "

Vic did not tell his deeper reasons, but only analyzed the military order. Who would dare to employ a subordinate who does not obey orders? If he does not obey orders before he even becomes the top leader, what will happen in the future?

How could the World Government allow such a person to take charge of the navy? If Victor really wants to become the Navy Admiral, he can only lie dormant now and not show his fangs.

But things are too contradictory now. On the one hand, he has to show submissiveness to the World Government, and on the other hand, he has to face the accusations and abuses from within the Navy. For the time being, Vic has no good way to break the impasse.

Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are under the command of the World Government, they are selected by Victor. Any evil deeds these selected people have done or will do in the future will be recorded on Victor's head.

They dare not offend the giant of the World Government, and will even find excuses for them, "The World Government asked you to choose someone, but why can't you choose someone else? Why should you choose him? You shouldn't have chosen him, and this is your fault!"

However, as for Vic, who is inside the navy, they dare not say anything openly. But it is different in private. There are more voices, and the navy top brass and the world government also have to consider the feelings of so many people. So this matter is very contradictory and difficult to deal with. Vic is still thinking about how to break the deadlock.

"this..."

Barnett agreed with what he thought. Vic cannot disobey orders now. Not everyone is a naval hero who doesn't care about power. As long as you value the power in your hands, you will be controlled by the person who gives you the power!

If Vic didn't care about the positions of admiral and marshal, he could also live a carefree life. While upholding his own justice, he could directly apply for long-term stationing in a naval base in the New World.

You can help civilians around the base to resist pirates, and no one will tell you what to do, so you have relative freedom.

Although Barnett didn't know why Vic wanted such high power, based on his understanding of Vic, he knew that Vic was not a power-hungry person. He must have his own difficulties that could not be easily expressed. So he just had to help Vic achieve his goals, which did not conflict with his own ambitions.

Although Rebecca and the others were slower to react and couldn't think so much or so far, they were very resistant to the policy itself, and they were even more resistant to letting Vic do this task.

Which of those pirates didn't have the blood of the marines on their bodies? Even Red-Haired Shanks was not spared. From the standpoint of the navy, this is irreconcilable. They all think this way, so you can imagine what others will think. This is also what Vic is worried about now.

"Try to pick those who have done less evil to be the Shichibukai. The World Government's decision cannot be easily changed.

Even if we don't do this mission, someone else will. The legalization of pirates is inevitable. We have the initiative in our hands and can screen them out. At least they won't be worse than those selected by others. You should all be more open-minded!"

Vic knew that the force of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would inevitably emerge. This time, apart from damaging his reputation, the candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea were left to him to choose. He would never choose those pirates who wanted to use the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a springboard to do small things behind the scenes and harm civilians. Not beating them to death was already considered mercy on his part, and this was the only benefit.

"Yes, Vic is right. We should think positively. We don't know how long the Seven Warlords of the Sea initiative will be implemented, but it will definitely have a great impact on the sea. The pirates' personalities, character, preferences, etc. must be taken into consideration. We should be responsible for the civilians. This is what we should do."

Barnett also spoke up for Vic, saying that other people's considerations were different from theirs, so they could only appease them from this perspective.

After hearing what the two said, Rebecca and Wendy calmed down, but their identification with the World Government dropped again.

The world government is becoming more and more unscrupulous. As their status and position improve, they have seen more darkness and have a better understanding of the current state of the world, so they also know that this cannot be changed by their own efforts.

After reading the specific content, their eyes returned to the bounty order. They now wanted to see which pirates were qualified to become Shichibukai, and careful selection was their current task.

"Vic! Which pirate should we look for first now?"

After reading all the bounties, Rebecca asked Vic, there are quite a few pirates on the bounty, some are sailing in the four seas, and some are occupying islands as kings in the first half of the Grand Line.

There are also pirates lurking in the New World. Rebecca knows that the pirates she is looking for now are definitely not the ones in the New World. As for whether they are in the Four Seas or the first half, she cannot judge.

"Let's go find Shanks first. Although he is unlikely to become a Shichibukai, he is on the list. I have already got their positions. This time, apart from a supply stop, we will go directly there. If we take too long, they will disappear without a trace."

Vic replied that he had planned this a long time ago and had someone get the permanent pointer.

"Well! Among all the people here, Red Hair is the most suitable to become a Shichibukai. It would be great if he could become one!"

Rebecca has seen Shanks' strength, which is not much different from the former admiral Zephyr. Now that some time has passed, it is hard to say how strong he is now, but given Shanks' personality, he probably won't restrict himself like this.

"Hey! Barnett! This is the permanent pointer to the island where Shanks and the others are. I'm handing it over to you now. All matters on the ship are also in your hands. If you guys can't solve anything, come to me. I'm going to practice first."

Vic didn't say anything more. After handing the permanent pointer to Barnett, he went to the bow of the warship and sat down to practice. Recently, the wind realm has shown signs of breaking through the door and seeing the whole picture, so he wanted to strike while the iron is hot.

……

After a few more days of sailing, although the warship passed by several islands, they did not land due to time constraints. Now there is not much food in the warship's warehouse, and if they are frugal, it can only last for two days.

Therefore, Barnett has ordered the lookouts to check the nearby waters around the clock, and to land on any island to resupply. He will not wait until he runs out of ammunition and food before looking for an island. He has also arranged some marines who can fish on the warship to start fishing.
