Chapter 533: Beating CP0
"Let's go!"
Vic said hello and started wandering around Area 10. He was wearing a cloak of justice and was very high-profile, attracting a lot of attention.
Vic is very famous now, and with that image, he is definitely a big star in the navy. Many people greeted Vic along the way, and Vic responded with a smile. A woman holding a child followed behind him, and they looked like a family of three, which broke the hearts of many young girls who were watching.
"Xuanlong!"
Just as Vic was greeting passers-by, a tall figure suddenly appeared not far in front of him, wearing a strange mask and shrouded in a white robe.
The sudden appearance of the man in white scared many of the onlookers and caused them to disperse, fearing that they would get into trouble. Some people were not afraid when they saw Vic was there, as they believed that Vic could protect them well.
"Are you the one sent by Saint Satan?" Vic knew that this was a CP0 agent as soon as he saw the strange outfit, but he did not point it out. Instead, he asked straight to the point.
"That's right. Saint Satan asked me to give you something with a message." The masked man spoke without any emotion. After that, he raised his arm from under his white robe and handed Vic half a piece of white paper.
Vic took the half piece of white paper and looked at it. There was nothing special about it, just a name written in letters. Vic realized in his mind that it was Vegapunk. This was actually half of Vegapunk's life paper. Did Satan want him to find Vegapunk? Vic didn't say anything, just looked at the masked man calmly, waiting for his next words.
"It's Satan Saint's order! You are asked to protect Dr. Vegapunk and take turns with Kizaru who was protecting there before."
The masked man spoke condescendingly, as if Satan had given him a very high status and honor. He did not take Vic, the vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, seriously at all, just like Lucci did not take Akainu, who became the admiral of the Navy, seriously. No one knew where his sense of superiority came from.
"Oh! Did he inform the Navy Headquarters of the order given to me directly by Saint Satan?"
Although Vic really wanted to learn some technology from Vegapunk, he didn't want to go in this way. Although you, the Five Elders, are the leaders of the World Government and the Navy is also under the World Government, he is not yet an admiral of the Navy. What right do you have to give orders beyond your level?
Am I your subordinate? We are not from the same organization. If you want to give an order, you should give it to the Navy Headquarters first, and then the Admiral will decide who to send. If you want to appoint someone, you should make it clear and assign directly? There is no such thing. Vic is not such a bootlicker.
"No, is it necessary?"
The masked man said calmly, not caring about Vic's question. If the CP agents were the slaves of the Celestial Dragons, then there was no difference between the navy and the farmhands, and they were the kind of farmhands who had to be brainwashed. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were death warriors. In order to ensure the status of the Celestial Dragons, they could be sacrificed at any time.
"Then let me ask you, am I from the Navy or the World Government?"
Vic's face also turned cold. The CP agent in front of him really looked like a domestic slave who took advantage of his power to bully others, just like the eunuchs around the emperor.
"You are a navy officer, but the navy also has to obey the Five Elders. You'd better obey their orders!"
The masked man seemed to have noticed Wick's displeasure, but he didn't care much. He was from the World Government's intelligence department, and he didn't believe that Wick would dare to take action against him. Did he still want to work in the navy?
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, Vic disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was face to face with the masked man, and his raised fist was already wrapped in armed color domineering.
"Iron!"
The masked man's reaction was not slow. The CP0 agent still had some strength, not as good as others but better than others. However, the person who beat him was Vic. Although the masked man said it was a block of iron, it was actually hardened with armament color.
"boom"
"Click"
Vic punched the masked man in the chest, and the armament color defense there was instantly torn apart. The sound of broken ribs was heard, and the masked man was knocked away by Vic's punch. Blood slid down the edge of the mask. This should have been sprayed out of his mouth and blocked by the mask.
"Ahem! You...you...you dare to attack me?"
The masked man was lying on the ground in the distance, holding his chest and pointing at Vic, his voice becoming a little trembling as he questioned. He really didn't expect Vic to attack him just because of a disagreement, and the attack was so heavy that he was seriously injured with one blow. He was now shocked and angry, and he didn't expect Vic to be so bold.
"What's wrong with attacking you? I am Vice Admiral Xuanlong of the Navy Headquarters! How dare you, a lowly rat, order me around?
I've shown my good temper by not killing you. Talk to Saint Satan and ask him to pass the order to my superior in the navy. Otherwise, I won't protect Vegapunk."
Vic drew out his blood and pointed at the masked man lying on the ground, while walking towards him, which put a lot of pressure on the masked man, as if as long as he didn't call Satan, Vic would kill him with a knife, without any fear at all.
The masked man was filled with resentment and hesitated for a long time. Seeing Vic getting closer and closer, under the threat of death, he finally compromised and took out a Den Den Mushi from under his blood-stained white robe and broadcast it.
The Den Den Mushi was quickly connected, and Satan's voice came from the other end. The masked man saw Vic standing next to him, so he didn't dare to exaggerate. He could only tell the truth and recounted everything that happened here, even including the fact that he was knocked down by a punch.
Under the mask, he looked at Vic with resentment. He was still waiting for Satan to make the decision for him, but the Den Den Mushi said an emotionless "got it" and hung up the Den Den Mushi, which almost petrified the masked man. Is this the end? Was I beaten in vain? Did I spit blood in vain?
Vic didn't know that after Satan hung up the phone, he started talking to the other Five Elders. This time, he gave the order directly without going through Kong and Sengoku just to test Vic.
But this is just an appetizer, the real test is still to come. The Five Elders are obviously dissatisfied with this initial test, but they also found an understandable reason for Vic, which is to let Vic stay under the protection of Vegapunk, so that Vic will not be able to make any more contributions.
They are really a little afraid of Wick now. If he can make great achievements by just wandering around the Grand Line, they can't let him continue to wander around. Therefore, the test mission of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is temporarily cancelled. It would be best to trap him next to Vegapunk.
They had considered this mission when they discussed it before, but at that time they felt that the Shichibukai mission was more suitable for suppressing Victor. They did not consider at all that Victor would make another great contribution while carrying out the Shichibukai mission. This was their mistake.
Now Vic's contributions have reached a balance point. He can become an admiral of the navy, or he can be found fault with and prevented from promotion. There is an ultimate test waiting for Vic.
Therefore, Vic couldn't be allowed to continue making contributions before that. They knew that Vic didn't realize yet that his contributions were enough to make him promoted to admiral of the navy, but no one told him about it for fear that he would be disappointed.
So they thought that Vic must be thinking about making more contributions to meet the conditions for promotion. Now they asked Vic to protect Vegapunk, so he would have no chance to make more contributions. There was obviously suspicion of suppression, so it was normal for Vic to have some emotions.
It's normal to take it out on CP agent. After all, the agent is not dead, which shows that Vic still knows his limits.
