Chapter 512 Return to the Palace
Vic ignored the unconscious Crocodile and came to Rebecca and squatted to check the situation. At this time, Rebecca's eyes were still rolling in her sockets, and there was no sign of recovery.
The main reason was that the time was too short. From the moment Rebecca was caught in the sandstorm to the timely appearance of Vic, and then to the moment he punched Crocodile away, the two of them spent almost no time except talking for less than a minute.
Vic waited by Rebecca's side for nearly five minutes before she slowly woke up. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Vic beside her.
Five minutes was enough for her to die hundreds of times. Rebecca knew that she was too impulsive before. Even after her armament color was exhausted, she still insisted on fighting to the death with Lao Sha, and almost got into trouble!
When she saw Vic here, she knew that Vic should have arrived a long time ago and had been protecting her until her life was in danger. She felt very safe!
"Don't get too carried away next time. No matter who gives you the task, you must carry it out under the premise of ensuring your own safety. If you lose your life, you lose everything!
If you were gone, everything would end, but how painful would it be for the living? You should also think more about the living!
If you really have a reason to do something, then make yourself strong, until no one can hurt your life.
You never know when something you have to do will happen, so you should work harder to become stronger so that you won’t be at a loss when it happens! ”
Vic didn't scold Rebecca. Rebecca's performance this time was already very good. As long as she was willing, she could be invincible.
Vic hopes that Rebecca can cherish her life. He cannot always arrive in time. When she encounters stronger enemies in the new world and even he can't escape, no one can save Rebecca. She will have to rely on herself at that time.
"Oh!"
Rebecca said reluctantly. Although she agreed with Vic's statement, what Vic said was not convincing because Vic was always at the forefront every time they encountered a strong enemy.
Everyone is told to protect their own lives, but when it comes to him, he seems to choose to forget it. The time when he met Kaido, the King of Beasts, he risked his life and was almost beaten to death.
It's understandable that you have the confidence to defeat Golden Lion and Barrett, as they were already very strong at that time. But at that time, the gap between the two was too big. However, Vic still stood in front of everyone regardless of his life.
So Rebecca also wants to protect her friends and partners like Vic, even at the cost of her own life!
So even though Rebecca didn't agree with Vic's first words, she still listened to his advice to become stronger in case of emergency. Why sacrifice herself when she can crush the opponent with strength?
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look at this 50-50 contestant."
Seeing that Rebecca had basically recovered, Vic greeted her. Vic had already decided to give the spot of Shichibukai to Crocodile.
It is impossible that we cannot identify all the Seven Warlords of the Sea when we go out to carry out the mission this time. If we do that, it would be a waste of time. If there are a few of them, we can give an explanation to the World Government.
Crocodile's bounty is relatively low, which means he hasn't done many bad things, and he is also a pirate who likes to hide. As long as he doesn't seek to seize Alabasta in the future, being a Shichibukai is not bad.
Rebecca didn't say anything, she just followed behind, looking not fully awake yet, her body still a little uncoordinated.
Vic came to the sand where Crocodile was. Crocodile was lying on his back in the sand pit with his arms and legs spread out. There were sand marks in front of him caused by the collision on the sand. Vic slapped Crocodile on the face several times but failed to wake him up. Vic still overestimated Crocodile's physical fitness and used too much force.
"It looks like he won't wake up for a day or two. Let's take him back to the palace first, so that Ain and the others won't worry. Release two of your flying swords so I can experience what it feels like to fly a sword."
Vic reached out and grabbed Crocodile's clothes on his chest and lifted him up in his hand and said to Rebecca that Rebecca had rarely used the ability of the Float-Float Fruit in battle before, but now she had no problem flying the sword, and it would not be a big deal even if there were two more people. Rebecca had been eating the fruit for a while.
Rebecca was very obedient. She opened the sword box behind her and two flying swords flew out and landed at the feet of the two men. Only after she saw Vic stepping on the flying sword did Rebecca walk up.
After Vic pointed out the direction, the flying sword accelerated and flew diagonally upwards. Vic, who did not have the Floating Fruit, was not thrown down by the strong wind generated by the acceleration.
Because of the strong wind generated by the flying sword, it automatically separated to both sides after approaching Vic's body, and then merged together behind Vic.
After the flying sword reached a certain height, it began to fly levelly, and its speed reached the limit that Rebecca could drive. The sky was like two flashes of white light, and the three of them disappeared above the rainy land.
……
It didn't take long for Vic to land with Rebecca directly on the open space where they had practiced before, without alarming the civilians of Albana and the people in the palace.
Rebecca used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to fly the sword at a very fast speed, which was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye. The reason why she was seen by civilians at first was because she was looking for someone, and her speed was not very fast.
"Rebecca is back!"
"Just come back!"
"Vic is back too, and he's captured Crocodile!"
"Is this the pirate you were talking about lurking in Alabasta?"
"It seems familiar!"
"Didn't you hear what they said? This is Crocodile. I heard he's pretty strong, but now he's like a dead dog. I don't know what he's planning in Alabasta."
"Wow! They can fly too! Just like Belle!"
...
The arrival of Vic and Rebecca caused discussions and exclamations from adults and children. Vic was not away for long, only three or four hours in total, so Barnett and the others were still practicing in the open space. Jakka and Bell also did not leave, so they were the first to see the three people flying the sword.
After landing, Vic left Crocodile aside and found a place to sit cross-legged on the side. Wendy and Ian brought Weiwei to Rebecca and asked about what had happened in the past month.
Rebecca's mood, which had calmed down, became tense again, apparently because she recalled some unpleasant memories from the past. However, she still talked about some non-boring things and made the two children laugh.
Afterwards, Ian also introduced Weiwei to Rebecca, and of course to Gaka and Bell. Although Rebecca had met Bell before, she didn't have the time to pay attention to him at that time. This time they were all formally introduced to each other!
