Chapter 507 Appearance
During the time that Vic lived in the palace, he still practiced as usual during the day, and used his observation Haki to explore the entrance to the underground palace under the palace at night.
Although he had seen Robin and Cobra enter the underground palace in his previous life, he was not sure about the exact location, as the surrounding buildings were very similar.
Vic found the entrance to the underground palace on the first night. The palace was very small and was completely within the range of his vision, but he did not go to check it out in person.
Crocodile has not been found yet, but he is not very anxious. There is only one page of the historical text with ancient characters. He only needs to take a glance and it can be stored in his mind like a photo. He is not interested in other things in the underground palace, so he can write them down at any time after finding the place.
Rebecca hasn't called back during this period, which means she probably hasn't found Crocodile yet. In Wick's heart, Rebecca is not as good as Crocodile now. The two can fight for a long time, but Crocodile will definitely be the winner in the end.
It is possible to defeat Rebecca, but it is very difficult to kill her. Rebecca's Float-Float Fruit is not to be trifled with. At that time, Rebecca will definitely shake people. He doesn't believe that Crocodile can stop it. He must have the strength to kill Rebecca with one blow, but Crocodile does not have the strength to do so. Vic still has confidence in Rebecca's strength.
Wick doesn't believe that Crocodile doesn't have Haki, so he won't be able to survive when he ventures into the New World. Both Barrett and Whitebeard can kill him.
He definitely has Haki, but he relies too much on the ability of his fruit. With the combination of Observation Haki and Nature-type abilities, he can win in many games. Vic guessed that this is why Crocodile can fight against everyone on equal terms.
Being tied with Barrett and surviving Whitebeard's hands, these are all rumors. How many people know what the situation was at that time? There are countless rumors, and it is not uncommon for the rumors to become more and more outrageous.
If Crocodile relies on his natural abilities and observation Haki and adopts a roaming style of play, when you attack I will turn into an element to dodge, and as long as you don't actively approach me, and the game is evenly matched for a long time, then isn't it a 50-50 fight?
So before actually meeting Crocodile, Wick still had reservations, but now Rebecca's armament color was not that strong, and after her domineering aura was exhausted, she would not be a match for the natural type.
After a few days passed without any sign of Crocodile, Vic decided not to wait any longer and sneaked into the underground palace on a dark and windy night. No one could discover Vic's whereabouts, not even though Gaka's nose was very useful.
Vic came to the main text recording the history of Pluto, took out a piece of metal from the dimensional space and held it in his hand. Then the piece of metal quickly turned red, becoming redder and redder, and finally emitted a bright light.
The ancient text on the historical text was clearly visible. The moment the metal was lit up, Vic memorized all the content on the stone, although he could not understand it yet.
Vic ignored the other things in the underground palace. To him, nothing else mattered. After returning to the ground and shutting down the mechanism, Vic returned to his residence quietly. His purpose of coming to the palace had been achieved.
If Vic knew that there was a letter left by the first queen in Alabasta, he would definitely find a way to read the contents of the letter. That was one of the twenty kings who withdrew from Marijoa. He would definitely know more about what happened 800 years ago. It's just that he traveled there too early and didn't know these things.
Half a month passed and Rebecca still didn't call, not even to complain or say hello.
She seemed to be at odds with Crocodile and would never come to meet up with Vic and the others until she found him. She seemed to be holding back an air of unwillingness to admit defeat, which made Vic secretly laugh. He could imagine how miserable Rebecca was now, but he did not take the initiative to call her to encourage and comfort her. This was also a part of a person's growth process.
During this half month, the Haiyuan calendar has taken another step forward. The time has come to the 1506th year of the Haiyuan calendar. Vic is already 18 years old, and there are still 14 years away from the official beginning of the One Piece story!
Vic has seen so much darkness and misery in just over two years at sea. The darkness hidden beneath rule and justice is shocking. How much more darkness and suffering will he witness in the next 14 years?
The Celestial Dragons hold a competitive contest every three years. Every time it is held, an island that is not a member of a hostile country is selected. All the people on the island and the slaves abandoned by the Celestial Dragons are the targets of their slaughter, and they destroy one island at a time!
There are also the civilians who have been implicated by the historians, the slaves who have been continuously sent to Marijoa, and the allied countries that cannot pay the gold from heaven...
Although Cobra held a New Year's Eve party in the palace, the desert country was too hot and there was no festive atmosphere.
Moreover, Vic was thinking about a lot of things, and he felt a little blocked in his heart. He was not in a very good mood and remained silent. He was basically drinking during the banquet. Others also noticed that something was wrong with him, so they did not come to disturb him!
Vic did not practice in the days after the New Year. Every day he would put on casual clothes and walk out of the palace alone, then find a quiet tavern to drink.
He had shown up in front of the palace before, and many people in Albala already knew that Xuanlong from the Navy Headquarters had come to Alabasta, so Vic didn't want to be recognized and disturbed.
He felt a little restless and couldn't calm down. This year was the quadrennial World Conference, and he always felt that something would happen, and this matter was closely related to him!
After being depressed for a few days, Vic slowly recovered. He also figured out some things. If something really happened to him, he would use his strength to break everything. Instead of wasting time being depressed, he might as well seize the time to improve himself.
Vic adjusted his mentality in time. Maybe he can't change too much now, so he will stay useful and fight for the future.
The black-robed man had to hide his strength, so how strong could the king of the world, Yimu, be? As long as Yimu existed, it would be difficult to change the pattern of this world. The Tianlong people would still lie on the whole world sucking blood, treating human life as worthless, and torturing and killing at will.
Vic started practicing like a blacksmith again. Jakka and Bell would come to watch when they were free. After all, they had never seen strong people like Vic before. If they could learn a few tricks from him, it would be a great opportunity. Weiwei had become good friends with Ian. She followed Ian every day like a follower.
"Hmm? Did you finally find it?"
One day half a month later, Vic was accepting Barnett's domineering training, when suddenly a powerful aura came over. This was the aftermath of the battle between the strong men. Vic subconsciously thought of Rebecca and Crocodile.
Because the aftermath of a fight between strong people of their level cannot be felt by ordinary people, Jakka and Bell knew nothing about it. If it was a collision between Whitebeard and Roger, ordinary people would be able to feel it. Obviously, Rebecca and Crocodile are not such strong people. Another reason is that the place where the battle took place is not close to Albala.
Vic directly shook off Barnett's fist hitting his chest, turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared in front of everyone. Now that the two have already fought, he must go to protect Rebecca!
