Chapter 530: Another Great Achievement
The more Jinbei listened, the brighter his eyes became. He looked deeply at Vic a few times and nodded imperceptibly. Seeing that the fishmen were almost ready, Vic kicked Jinbei onto another warship.
"Everyone, run away! I am no match for this marine. Saving my life is the most important thing now. Aladdin! Take Brother Tiger's body and run!"
After Jinbei stood up, he quickly called on everyone else to retreat. In fact, under Aladdin's command, the fishmen had already reached the edge of their warship.
After hearing Jinbe's words, Aladdin looked at Arlong who was lying unconscious next to Spider Demon, picked up Tiger's body and jumped into the sea. Jinbe and everyone else went into the sea and prepared to jump into the sea.
"Stop!" Vic shouted and flew towards Jinbei, as if he wanted to keep this last one.
"Mlocculant Karate·Original Technique·Murayuki!"
Jinbei swung his fist in the air, and a huge amount of energy blocked Vic's way and prevented him from moving forward. Vic drew his sword and cut through the obstacle with one blow, but when he wanted to kill the blue fat man with one blow, Jinbei had disappeared from the warship.
Vic could only release a few more lightning bolts into the sea, then reluctantly put the knife back into his waist. This warship was the one where the reporters were.
Vic just noticed that people were taking pictures here, so he kicked Jinbei over. He wanted the reporters to capture his helplessness and powerlessness. The other party was a fishman, and any slight obstruction in the sea battle could create time for him to enter the sea.
We can only blame Ghost Spider for not choosing the right battlefield. As a user with special abilities, he had no way of dealing with the fish-man who went into the water. Of course, the lightning he struck at the sea did not penetrate deeply at all, so he could fool people into thinking that this was the case. Who knows what the situation was underwater? The fish-man might have already reached the deep water area, and the speed of the fish-man in the sea water is unmatched by humans.
"Everyone, hurry up and treat the wounded. Fisher Tiger has been killed. This encirclement and suppression is considered a success. As for those who escaped, we can wait until they show up!"
Vic shouted and jumped to Rebecca and picked her up. Rebecca's injuries must be very serious. Vic carried Rebecca to Ghost Spider, mocked her a few times, and then returned to his warship. He did not accept interviews from those enthusiastic reporters.
However, Barnett told the reporters why they came here by coincidence this time, in order to clear them of the suspicion of stealing the credit. They just came here when they passed by and heard the call for help. In this way, Vic's appearance was reasonable, and the complete process was also conveyed to the reporters.
After that, Barnett politely asked the reporters to leave. Vic did not ask Aaron for help and just left. He did not jump up and down to grab the credit at all. It can be said that Vic won this battle in one fell swoop, which made the reporters praise Vic for his magnanimity and indifference to fame and fortune, and he was indeed a model of the navy.
Vic and his crew came and left quickly, without taking any fishmen with them. This made the seriously injured Ghost Spider very worried. If Vic hadn't appeared, he might have died here.
How could he know that Tiger had ordered not to kill the marines, so he was very upset about his former enemy saving him, and he always remembered this grudge in his heart.
It's just that Vic is too powerful now and he has no intention of revenge, but the other party doesn't care about the grudge between them at all.
He felt that Vic could easily use this opportunity to kill him. If they were in a different place, he would most likely kill the other party. However, Vic was upright and although he had a grudge against him, he still extended a helping hand to his colleague. Comparing the two people's state of mind, he felt that he had lost completely.
Vic and his friends received a newspaper delivered by Seagull the next day. The headline reported that Vic passed by, received a call for help, and then supported Ghost Spider to kill Fisher Tiger.
There were several photos. The first one was a picture of Vick using a finger in mid-air to shock Fisher Tiger in the middle of his eyebrows. In the photo, Tiger's hair stood up, smoke was coming out, and his eyes rolled back.
In addition to Arlong's loud voice saying that Tiger was dead, and Arlong and Jinbei's reactions, the reporters had already determined in their reports that Tiger was dead, and there were many Marines present at the time, so the matter was confirmed, and Vic could not escape the credit.
Although Vic knew that he had made a contribution, the World Government concealed what Tiger had done, so the credit was greatly discounted. He did not expect to be qualified for promotion to the rank of admiral of the navy because of this.
But no matter what the newspapers say that the incident happened in Shampoo, the senior navy officials knew that it happened in Marijoa, so the calculation of credit is different.
In addition, Garp had quarreled with Sengoku and Cyborg Sora before, so they did not dare to take the credit for Vic's work, because if Fisher Tiger was killed by Demon Spider, the credit would also be determined according to the crime of attacking Marijoa and letting the slaves go!
Of course, this will only be reported internally to the navy’s top brass and will not be made public, so the credit remains the original credit.
At this time, Cyborg Sora had already taken Sengoku to Marijoa. With such a great contribution, they were ready to secure Wick's position as the admiral of the navy, otherwise they would have to quarrel with Garp when they returned.
This time the Five Elders can't deny it no matter how hard they try. You asked others to do the mission of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and didn't want them to take the credit. They were fooled, but their luck was there, and you can't stop them, so who can you blame? They encountered it while carrying out the mission of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, where can you go to seek justice?
Fisher Tiger is destined to fall into his hands. Isn't this the destiny of the Navy Admiral? You five elders still want to stop him? You can't lose face, right? If you don't follow the rules, you will really push people out. The Navy will be difficult to manage in the future. You can do it yourself?
The Five Elders were really troubled when they saw the news. They had already decided on the candidate for the Navy Admiral. The three major camps of the Navy, hawks, doves and centrists, were all very balanced. Wouldn't it destroy the balance if you brought in another one?
Wouldn't the Navy change its nature if the doves gained more power? Would the Navy still be completely controlled by the World Government in the future? That was not what they wanted to see. They had discussed this before Sengoku and Kong Kong came over.
One of the Five Elders suggested that Vic join the Order of the Divine Knights, but was rejected by the other Five Elders. The Order of the Divine Knights was composed of Celestial Dragons, and Vic was not worthy of that. Isn't this making Vic a Celestial Dragon in disguise?
One of the Five Elders suggested removing Aokiji’s position as admiral, but that was impossible. Aokiji’s military achievements over the years were not to be underestimated, so the suggestion was quickly rejected.
The Five Elders also suggested that Wick go to CP0 as an agent. This opinion was retained and is considered an option, but it requires Wick's consent, which can be done before the promotion ceremony.
