Chapter 580 Edge
Of course, there are also benefits to Olivia showing her face, which is that it can convey to Robin the message that she is still alive, so that Robin's growth and life will not be so bleak, give her some motivation to survive, and leave hope for meeting in the future.
As for the rest, there is nothing more. Olivia's relatives and friends all died in O'Hara's Demon Killing Order, and those who knew she was still alive already knew it.
"I'd better cover it with a face towel! This face shouldn't be shown now!"
Olivia naturally thought of these two levels, and knew that Vic would let her choose, but thinking of the terror of the World Government and the hunt she would face in the future, she gave up showing her face.
She already felt that she was a burden to Vic and the others, and now she was going to cause more trouble for her own selfishness? She couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.
Robin inherited her kindness and was willing to sacrifice herself for the Straw Hat Pirates. Olivia believed that as long as she and Robin were both alive, they would be able to be reunited!
"Okay! Now that you've made your decision, don't use the face cloth anymore. I'll make you a mask and you can change your name!"
In fact, Vic didn't want Robin to know that Olivia was still alive. Although Robin's childhood was full of suffering and betrayal, she also gained a lot of experience.
Being able to evade betrayal and pursuit again and again is a very strong skill in itself. Wick feels that it is all worth it. Without those experiences, how could there be such a distinct and charming Robin later on?
How touched would future Robin be if he knew that his mother was still alive?
Different experiences will change the direction of life and determine a person's character and values. Vic liked Robin's character and values in the original play, so he didn't want to change anything about Robin. Since the tragedy of O'Hara is irreversible, let's add some touching moments to Robin in the future!
"Your name is Vic! Then I'll just call myself Via. No one will probably associate it with my original name!"
Olivia glanced at Vic, and for some reason, she took the last two characters of his name as her own.
"Uh..., let's use this name!"
Although Vic felt it was a bit strange, the name Via was also very reasonable. After saying this, Vic took out a small piece of metal from the dimensional ring and began to smelt it in his hand.
The metal is burned red until it is molten, and then he rubs and flattens it into shape with his hands, and finally he carves out some patterns. A simple and quaint mask gradually takes shape in Vic's hands. Although it is still red, one can already imagine the simplicity and elegance of the finished product.
"Take it and try it on!"
After the temperature of the mask had completely dropped, Vic tied a leather ribbon on it and handed it to Olivia. Olivia didn't say a word of thanks, she just took it and put it on her face.
The mask did not cover the entire face. The lower edge only covered the tip of the nose, leaving the nostrils, lips and chin exposed. The upper edge covered the entire forehead, leaving only the eyes exposed. Combined with the silver-white hair, it gave people a sense of sacred elegance, which made Vic take a second look.
After Olivia put on the mask, she took out the bronze mirror that Vic gave her and looked at her face after wearing the mask. After seeing herself wearing the mask, Olivia was a little dazed.
This is much better than her previous temperament when she wore a face scarf. Even acquaintances would find it difficult to recognize her. Silver hair is not rare in this world. How could the world government that concluded that she died in O'Hara suspect her?
As long as her mask does not fall off in the future, her identity will not be exposed. As long as the time is right, she can appear in front of the public and in front of her daughter Robin!
"Vic! Should we continue across the Grand Route or take the shortest route?"
After Wick finished smelting Olivia's mask and gave it to Olivia, Rebecca next to him asked, now the pirate ship is heading to the waters of the Grand Line, and then it is necessary to choose a magnetic route. This decision must be made by Wick, the captain.
There are seven magnetic routes in the first half of the Grand Line, while they are shortened to three in the New World. Wick and his crew have only sailed on three of the seven routes before. The others are also unfamiliar and novel to them. As pirates, they are very suitable for adventure. It depends on what Wick chooses.
"Let's just take the route that Mr. Zefa took us on before and see if there are any interesting guys to bring over as partners."
Vic said without hesitation that he had already thought about it in the past few days. As long as he showed up, the Navy and the World Government would come to him. There were many people related to him on that route, and maybe he could get some help at a critical moment. At least it would be better than a completely unfamiliar route. As for other routes that he had not traveled to, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Three days later, Vic and his crew encountered the first island after leaving the doldrums. They chose to land on the island for supplies.
Although there was no shortage of food on their ship, it was mostly meat, which was fine in the short term, but would definitely have an impact on the body over a long period of time.
Therefore, they also need to supplement foods such as vegetables and fruits. If they come across an island with a town, they must go up and take a look. Since the current goal is to find partners, it is necessary to contact more people.
"Via! Follow Rebecca. If there's anything you need, ask her to take you to buy it. Barnett, you can purchase the other supplies!
Everyone please be careful when you go to the island. Our bounties are not low. We are not afraid of aboveboard means, but we must be wary of those who are not aboveboard, especially those with special abilities, who are often hard to guard against!"
Vic and Olivia spoke to a few people and gave them some instructions. Now their identities were different and almost everyone outside was an enemy.
Some want money, some want fame, and some want credit. If they are not careful, they will have an accident. If they have an accident, it is not just about getting injured. This is the real world. If there is no means of escape, there is a high probability that one of them will die. Vic does not want anything to happen to his partner.
Several people agreed, and finally, except for Fredek who stayed behind to watch the boat, everyone else went to the island.
Vic and his men have disappeared for two months. It's time for them to show up. They still have to show the necessary sharpness, otherwise everyone, whether human or ghost, will want to confront them. Appropriate toughness can reduce a lot of trouble.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to face the pursuit of the World Government and the Navy. If we can deal with them, we will be safe.
