Chapter 469: Dwarf Tribe?

Chapter 469: Dwarf Tribe?

The fishermen stopped what they were doing and looked at Vic. None of them spoke and the atmosphere fell into silence. The children playing near the sailboat seemed to be frightened by Vic and ran back to their parents or back to the house.

After that, Rebecca also came to stand beside Vic. She didn't ask Vic anything, nor did she ask the fishermen anything. She just stood quietly beside Vic, looking at the fishermen with scrutiny.

In front of two senior naval generals, anyone who had done nothing wrong would feel pressured, let alone a group of people with guilty consciences. Although they were still busy with their tasks, their movements had become stiff and unnatural.

But they didn't dare to think of killing the two men now. Vic had now come to the public's attention. Anyone who read the newspaper regularly knew his identity and deeds.

Knowing how powerful Vic was, they did not dare to escape. What they did was very secretive, and the two navy officers showed no signs of seeing through them, so they thought they were probably there to wait for the other navy officers to come back. If they escaped now, they would be exposed, so they could only pray that things were done perfectly, and the navy would leave the island after finding out nothing.

Vic didn't say anything, but he had done what he was supposed to do quietly. His Observation Haki covered the entire island. There was no one on the entire island except this small fishing village. It seemed that the people on the island were moving quickly to avoid Rebecca's search. All other animals were normal, and the only abnormal thing was this fishing village.

Half an hour later, Barnett and the others returned to the fishing village. Seeing Vic and Rebecca were both in the fishing village, Barnett thought a lot. Vic's message before was just to ask him to come back, and he didn't explain anything to him, but this did not prevent him from making a judgment.

"Vic! Have you found anything? Is this the problem?"

Barnett and his companions quickly came to Vic. He glanced at the people in the fishing village and asked. Anyway, he didn't see any problem with this fishing village.

He had carefully walked around the fishing village before. The houses were old, and some fishing tools such as fishing boats and fishing nets showed signs of long-term use. The people in the fishing village included men, women, young and old, and it was consistent with the appearance of a village without any special changes. He really couldn't think of any tricks in this simple fishing village.

Although Rebecca found something wrong with the fishing village, she couldn't tell what was wrong. Like Wendy, she was waiting for Vic's answer. Only Fredek walked to the sailboat model next to Vic and looked around, as if he was looking for something.

The people in the fishing village became more and more nervous when they saw the navy gathering in the fishing village. When they saw Frederick looking up and down at the sailboat model, they were also very nervous, fearing that this boy with glasses would see something.

"Can't you use your Observation Haki from time to time? If you had used your Observation Haki to investigate as soon as you got ashore, you would have discovered the problem long ago. Fredek should have discovered the problem. Why don't you investigate it yourself!"

Vic sighed a little. People in this world are so obsessed with domineering treasures that they don't use them until the important moment. This is a misunderstanding. No wonder people who fight more often improve their strength faster, and those who dare to fight and fight rise faster.

Vic hinted to them several times that they could use their domineering power in their daily lives, but they only used it during sparring and usually treasured it very much.

But think about it, they don't have much domineering power to begin with, and who would want to use it up after a few hits? They must save it for use in battle.

This happened again today. Vic was considering whether to tell them the method to quickly increase his domineering power, but the impact of this method would be too great if it were spread out.

After hearing what Vic said, Barnett and the others released their Observation Haki to sense the small fishing village. At first they didn't notice anything. This was related to their use of Observation Haki. The awakening time was short, the strength was not strong enough, and the detail was not enough, which resulted in their Observation Haki only being able to perceive roughly.

Just like a computer's CPU, it cannot process too much data. Their observation Haki is the same, their perception is a little fuzzy. It was not until they remembered that Vic said Fredek had made a discovery that they concentrated their observation Haki on the surrounding area and perceived it carefully.

When they sensed this, their faces turned ugly. In the sailboat model, there were countless human auras. If they didn't sense it carefully, they would not know that there were so many people hidden in this model.

The densely packed aura mixed with the aura of the fishermen's navy was impossible to distinguish with their level of observation and hearing without careful investigation. They only knew that there were many people gathered here, but they had no idea how many there were exactly.

Another thing is that according to normal logic, it's just a model. Who would have thought that there would be so many people inside? Without the use of Observation Haki to carefully sense it, anyone would have overlooked it, right?

"Is it the Dwarf Tribe?"

Barnett frowned and muttered to himself, "How can a two-meter-tall model hold so many people? The only people that can fit in it are the legendary dwarfs, right?"

But how could there be so many of these rare little people? Could it be that all the little people lived on this island? But the buildings on the island didn't look like that. Could they have been kidnapped from somewhere else? Barnett thought of all the possibilities.

"Are they really the Dwarfs? I heard that the Dwarfs are also a very popular race at auctions. You may not see one for several years. How come there are so many here?"

Rebecca also discovered the little people in the sailboat model. She had been standing there watching for a while, but didn't notice anything. She was very upset now and regretted not using her Observation Haki to check carefully. What she didn't know was that there might be no one in the model when she looked at it before.

"It's not necessarily the Dwarf Tribe. The individual Dwarf Tribe members are not weak either. Moreover, it's not easy to take down so many of them at once. But the power of the Devil Fruit can do this. Fortunately, no big mistakes were made. Just remember this lesson!"

Vic said calmly, he knew that the dwarfs were in Dressrosa, and they were extremely fast and strong. Ordinary pirates were no match for them. If there really were so many dwarfs in the model, ordinary pirate groups would not be able to take them down. Coupled with the buildings on the island, Vic believed even more that it was the power of the devil fruit.

Although these people all look like fishermen, who told you that only those who venture out on the sea have the power of devil fruits?

It’s just that most people only think about going out to sea to fight after they have acquired the ability of the fruit and feel they have enough strength, but it does not mean that everyone has this idea.

Some people still stayed in their hometowns or their own countries. Some lived a low-key life like Mantis, and some protected their country like the birds and dogs in Alabasta. Vic was not sure whether these people were natives or outsiders.
