Chapter 535 Goodbye Tiger
"How unreasonable! Oh!"
Vic knew that he could not persuade him any more, because this spotted fishman had some brains but not much. Those without brains would be frightened by Vic, while those with more brains would know that destroying the body would not be of much use. Vic was not an ordinary navy. How could a titled vice admiral of headquarters who died inexplicably be let off easily? He would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Rebecca and the others did not move, knowing that Vic's moves were quick and convenient, so they stopped moving. Vic had no choice but to pull out the Allen Knife from his waist, pierced through the coating and reached into the sea water, then dozens of irregular electric arcs emerged from the tip of the knife.
These electric arcs did not randomly run through the seawater, nor were they differentiated and absorbed by the conductive seawater. Instead, they accurately shot towards every fishman and sea beast flying towards the warship.
These murlocs were only slightly stronger than ordinary murlocs, and ten to twenty times stronger than ordinary humans, but none of them could hold out for three seconds under Vic's lightning. They simply rolled their eyes and twitched on the spot, sinking to the bottom of the sea. Dozens of murlocs and large sea beasts were all killed in less than three seconds!
Just as Vic was about to order the warship to continue sailing past Fishman Island as if nothing had happened, a fat blue man riding a big-mouthed fish quickly blocked the warship.
It was none other than Jinbe, the future Seven Warlords of the Sea, who rushed over without stopping after receiving the news. I don't know whether he was worried that Vic would be killed by those fishmen, or he was afraid that those fishmen's minions would be too ignorant of their own limitations and be killed by Vic.
"Xuanlong! Come with me!"
Jinbei glanced at the fishmen and sea beasts that sank to the bottom of the sea and rolled their eyes and said to Vic, "Tiger was like this before." Jinbei's mouth twitched when he saw this.
At this time, the warship was not far from the bottom of the sea. With the sunlight transmitted by the roots of the Eve Tree on Fishman Island, it was also very bright here. After Jinbei finished speaking, he threw over a coral knot. This was the coral for making soap bubbles. Vic had seen it and knew how to use it.
"it is good!"
Vic did not refuse. Although Jinbei's tone was a little cold, Vic knew it was a disguise. He could roughly guess the purpose of Jinbei's coming here, so he directly used coral to create a bubble, wrapped himself up and left the warship.
"Just wait for me here. Don't act rashly. I'll be back soon. Trust my strength!"
Vic called out to Barnett and the marines on the warship, fearing that his departure would cause panic.
"You guys! Stay here, and when they wake up, tell them not to attack the warship again. Just say I said so!"
Jinbei seemed to be afraid of another accident later, so he greeted the few younger brothers who followed him, then picked up Vic and headed in another direction, neither Fishman Island nor Fishman Street under Noah next to Fishman Island.
But Vic didn't ask. To Jinbei, Vic was a benefactor. Without Vic's help, Tiger would have died outside sooner or later. This was foreseeable. He wanted to live after doing such a big thing? The last Pirate King Roger who did a big thing was publicly executed, and even his descendants were not spared. It was just a matter of time.
Jinbei brought Vic to a place full of shipwrecks on the seabed. It was obvious at a glance that this place was quite old. Corals had grown on many of the broken shipwrecks, and various fish were swimming and playing among the corals. There were also some other tall plants on the seabed, and many fish were also swimming among them.
Jinbei had no intention of stopping and continued to command the big-mouthed fish to swim deeper into the coral reef. After a while, Vic vaguely saw a large, neat rock in the coral reef. There was a figure sitting in front of the rock. The big-mouthed fish was heading that way.
When they were not far from there, the big-mouthed fish suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, and the soap bubbles wrapped around Vic's body disappeared. He entered a space without sea water. This space was also made of soap bubbles, like an inverted bowl.
"Xuanlong! This is the Sea Forest of Fishman Island! Brother Tiger is waiting for you over there!"
Jinbei said as he carried the big-mouthed fish out of this space without sea water, "It seems that the figure that Vic just saw was Tiger."
Vic nodded to Jinbei and walked over there. He didn't know why Tiger was looking for him. If it was just to say thank you, he felt it was unnecessary and would increase the risk of being exposed.
When Vic got closer, he found that the neatly-shaped stone was a historical text. This made Vic's eyes light up. It was another historical text, which was what he needed.
In front of the main text of history sat a tall figure with his back to him. It was called a figure because the guy was covered in a wide black robe. If it weren't for the fin-like objects protruding from his back, it would be impossible to tell whether he was a human or a fishman.
Vic's eyebrows twitched when he saw that the Five Elders were wearing black robes, the mysterious man wore a black robe when he saved Katakuri, and he wore a red robe to vent his anger and kill the slave traders. Now Tiger is also wearing a black robe. They can't get along with the big robe, right?
"Fisher Tiger! Is this how you hide your name? I heard that there will be many pirates who come to the Sea Forest because of its reputation. Do you think you can hide it by putting on a black robe? At least go to a place with fewer people?"
Vic said calmly to the figure behind him, don't be fooled by the fact that he saved Tiger so easily, that's because his fruit ability and research on the human body can make people enter a state of suspended animation. It would be very difficult to do that with someone else!
It is a true saying that if you want to see the person alive, you must see the body dead. In the original work, Tiger was only seriously injured and was rescued by Jinbei. If he had not refused to receive a blood transfusion, he could still survive. However, Tiger knew how big a thing he had done, and he would not rest in peace unless he really died.
But Vic faked his death on the battlefield to give everyone an illusion. If he died, their bodies would be seen. If they were not seen again after rebirth, then the matter would be over.
But it is very easy to be exposed in a conspicuous place like the Sea Forest. Those who can see his appearance can sense his specific appearance, and his black robe will be torn during the battle to reveal his true face. There are few pirates who stay calm, and the risk of being exposed here is really high.
"Xuanlong! It's really rude to ask my savior to make this trip in person. You know my current situation and I can't show up at all.
Actually, I was here because King Neptune and Princess Otohime arranged it. Jinbei told them about my fake death and disappearance, so they arranged a job for me as a gravekeeper guarding the royal cemetery in the Sea Forest.
Of course, they also guard this stone with incomprehensible words. They say that having a legitimate job is more conducive to hiding. Gravekeepers are ominous, and ordinary people will not approach them! "
Tiger sat on the ground wrapped in a big black robe and turned to Vic, then bowed deeply to Vic and told him the reason why he was here.
But they are still a little naive. Ordinary people really won’t get close to the gravekeeper, but are pirates ordinary people?
Fortunately, nothing has happened for a short time. If it goes on for a long time, he will definitely be exposed. However, exposure will not affect Vic's image in the Navy, nor is he saying for sure that Tiger is dead. It is not impossible that he was struck by lightning and fell into suspended animation. It's just that Tiger will be hunted down again, and he will have saved someone in vain.
"Let's not talk about whether it's rude or not. I don't care about these things. You didn't ask me to come here just to thank me, right?
That's really unnecessary. I admire your determination to go to Marijoa to save people. If I have the ability, I certainly don't mind helping."
Vic glanced at the words on the historical text and wrote them down. Even if Tiger had nothing else to do this time, he would still have gained something. It was a pity that the red signpost historical text recording Raftel was no longer here.
"Although I need to remain invisible and guard the tomb here, I am a free man. I owe you my life. If you need me to do anything in the future, I can risk my life for you once!"
Tiger said solemnly that it could be seen from his unwillingness to accept human blood transfusions that his attitude towards humans had changed after he became a slave, so he naturally could not feel at ease about the favor he owed Vic now!
