Chapter 502 Searching
After Vic finished speaking to Rebecca, he carried Ian and flew to the shore. Barnett, Wendy and the other two looked at Rebecca with an apologetic look on their faces, but they still followed Vic and flew away. Vic had already given the order, so they could only obey.
Of course Vic is really doing this for Rebecca's own good. To find someone, one needs to use Observation Haki. This is what training is all about. Anyway, Lao Sha will basically not leave here, so he can just look for him slowly.
Flying around is also useful for the development of the Float-Float Fruit. Of course, in Victor's opinion, the actual practice after finding it is the most valuable. He felt a headache when he thought of Katakuri learning to foresee the future in front of him. He had never found that opportunity. Victor now doubts that his talent for observation Haki is not very good.
Vic ignored the howling Kung Fu manatees on the beach, wrapped Ian in a beige cloth, and then walked towards the royal capital Albana.
Barnett and his men followed behind, but the other sailors that Vic did not bring along stayed at the beach as before.
A group of Kung Fu manatees looked at the direction Vic and his companions left, then looked at Rebecca on the warship, and then approached the warship. They came to ask for food, but Vic's oppressive feeling was too strong, so they did not dare to go.
Rebecca thought the Kung Fu manatees were cute and didn't leave in time, so she was entangled by them. In the end, she paid a huge sea beast leg to get rid of them.
No marine on the warship blamed her. It was Rebecca who killed the sea monster with her sword. After that, she left the warship and flew towards the island, while using her observation Haki to sense the powerful aura on the island.
Vic was not in a hurry this time. Rebecca had a Den Den Mushi in her hand, so she would naturally come to him if there was any problem, so Vic walked very slowly.
Most of Alabasta is desert, but there are also many oases. Where there are oases, there are towns. There is also a large inland river in the middle of the island. The reason why this country became so desolate was because of Sandstorm. Many oases were swallowed up by the sandstorms he created.
Whenever Vic came across a town, he would go in to experience it, see the local customs and culture, eat delicious food and drink some wine. He knew that Rebecca would not be able to find Lao Sha for a while.
He was not in a hurry to go to Albana, and he did not stop his practice. Drinking and eating meat did not hinder his domineering practice. At night, he sat on the sand and meditated, with a bright starry sky above his head.
Naturally, other people couldn't do the same as Vic, especially Ian, who was still a child. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was too great, so Vic used his ability to melt metal and made several metal tents for them. Wendy and the others also brought sleeping bags, so they had a safe place to sleep. Ian naturally slept with Wendy.
The one who worked the hardest was Rebecca. While Vic and his friends were traveling, eating, drinking and having fun, she had to work during the day and find a place to rest at night.
You may not encounter a town every night. Sometimes you have to spend the night in the sand. Of course, you will also encounter those giant beasts living in the sand.
Once, after she fell asleep, a huge lizard stretched out its tongue and rolled it into its stomach. Although Rebecca woke up when the big tongue rolled her, the lizard's tongue was very fast.
By the time Rebecca reacted and burst out of her stomach, her body was already covered in disgusting mucus. This made Rebecca a little overwhelmed. She had never been so embarrassed before!
He immediately yelled and lost his temper, and all the giant beasts hiding in the sand nearby were affected, all pierced by the flying swords. Then Rebecca hated Crocodile. As for the culprit Vic? Of course, she couldn't hate him!
Vic kept stopping and starting like this, and finally arrived in Albana a week later. By this time, Rebecca had been flying in the sky of Alabasta for a long time, and many people in the town had discovered her.
The news of someone flying over the country was reported to the captain of the Kingdom Guard, Ikarem, for a week, and then Ikarem had to report it to King Kobula.
Bell, the deputy captain of the Kingdom Guard, also often flies in the air. As the guardian god, the people all know this, but what they see is Bell in beast form.
And Rebecca's sword flying was so advanced that it was impossible not to attract attention. The fact that someone could fly in a country like Alabasta was enough to attract attention. There were too few supernatural powers in this country, and they were not very strong.
"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to Alabasta?"
Bell frowned as he looked at Rebecca flying a sword in front of him. He felt that the person shrouded in the sunshade in front of him was very dangerous, but he was sent by the king to investigate the situation, so he had to bite the bullet and fly forward to ask.
"Oh! An animal-type ability user? I'm Rebecca from the Navy Headquarters. I'm looking for pirates lurking on the island. Who are you?"
Rebecca removed the sunshade to reveal the Cloak of Justice she was wearing. The sun in Alabasta was too strong, and there was basically a desert below. Rebecca couldn't stand it and was afraid of getting tanned.
In addition, she had been eaten alive by a lizard before, leaving her covered in slime. She was in a bad mood, so she spoke in an aggressive tone and wanted to kill people, especially Crocodile!
"I'm Bell, the vice-captain of the Alabasta Kingdom Guard! You said there's a pirate lurking in our country? Who is he? What does he want to do?"
Bell recognized Rebecca after she took off the sunshade. Vic was so famous, so Rebecca, who was beside Vic, was naturally also famous, and there was a photo of her in the newspaper.
There are not many capable female navy officers, so someone like Rebecca who is strong, young and beautiful is naturally impressive.
When Bell and other high-ranking officials of the country have nothing to do, they read newspapers and follow current affairs, so it is normal for them to recognize Rebecca.
Bell had let down his guard against Rebecca, but when he heard Rebecca say that there were pirates hiding in Alabasta, he became alert again. Vigilance will not disappear easily, but it will be transferred.
"This is a secret of our navy. It's inconvenient to tell you, but I will find him out, hum!"
She would not ask anyone for help for the task assigned to her by Vic, otherwise Wendy and the others could help. She didn't think that the people of this country could help her, so she was too lazy to ask for help to avoid alerting the enemy.
"You are here, which means Lieutenant General Xuanlong is here too, right? Can you tell me where Lieutenant General Xuanlong is? Our King Kobula will definitely invite him to the palace as a guest!"
Bell flapped his wings and followed Rebecca closely. Rebecca and Vic had been carrying out missions together, and there was a lot of speculation about their relationship, so Bell asked this question and was more respectful when he asked Vic, probably because he was influenced by the royal attitude.
