Chapter 583 Announcement of Return
Vic saw a group of people running away and the others stopped moving. He spoke while drinking, his tone very sarcastic.
Those who ran away basically all had their eyes on his heads, and he could have killed them all indiscriminately, but his purpose this time was to declare his return and establish his authority.
The more people who spread today's events, the better. That was why he didn't kill them. Those people were just like that. Compared with his purpose, they were not worth mentioning at all, so he just let them go.
Those who had not left yet did not dare to say anything, but what they were thinking in their hearts was that anyone who dared to rush forward was a real fool. Although they were a little impulsive, they were not stupid and they were very smart when it came to their lives.
And Vic's strength was too terrifying. Who wouldn't be terrified when seeing this? A pirate hunter who could hunt a 500 million bounty was killed in an instant? What kind of concept is that?
This means that even if there were dozens of such strong men, they would not be a match for Vic. Those who speculated that Vic was not strong enough were slapped in the face.
Of course, those who appeared on this island and wanted to kill Vic did not believe the reports of Vic's achievements in the newspapers, otherwise they would not have come here. Now they are all frightened by Vic's fighting power.
In the future, they might even be afraid to mention Vick. The 1.5 billion bounty on Vick is only low, not high. They are a little confused. Why did the Navy release such a fierce and vicious man? Are you crazy? Which idiot made this decision?
Seeing that no one dared to go beyond the line, Vic finished his drink, threw down a gold coin and left the tavern. Those who wanted to kill him were already scared out of their wits. His goal had been achieved. The effects of his oath and authority were good. It shouldn't be long before his deeds would spread to the whole world.
Those who care about him will feel at ease, and those who want to step on him will have to weigh their own strength. His reputation will also be spread out, and recruiting partners will not be empty talk. With more strength and reputation, not to mention that people will bow down to him when they see him, the probability of success will be greater if he recruits them personally.
Now that Vick has appeared and caused trouble, his whereabouts have been exposed to the World Government and the Navy. The next challenge he will face may be the future three admirals and the mysterious Knights of God.
However, with Rebecca's ability of the Float-Float Fruit, their mobility has been maximized, so Wick is not too worried about the upcoming encounter. It is also a good opportunity to put some pressure on Rebecca to develop the Float-Float Fruit.
The Navy's Ten Thousand Swords Witch no longer exists. In the future, she will be a true Ten Thousand Swords Witch. When Rebecca grows up, her deterrent power will be no less than that of the Golden Lion. If she is unhappy, she will directly smash the island. It depends on whether the location is Marijoa or the Navy Headquarters.
Vic did not go back to the warship directly, but strolled around the island before returning to the pirate ship. At this time, Rebecca had returned with Olivia, and Barnett and his men had also purchased supplies.
What they were lacking were vegetables and fruits, and the quantity was not particularly large, so half a day was enough to finish them. When they were on the island, they had already heard the news that Vic had killed Satan in seconds.
Many people dare not say anything in front of Vic, but when Vic is not present, they will talk a lot and even exaggerate to show how powerful Vic is.
So in less than half a day, the news about Wick had spread throughout the entire island. Several pirate groups that wanted to clash with Wick and step on him to improve their prestige all stopped their activities. Their highest bounty was less than 500 million, which was not enough for Wick to kill alone.
After hearing the news that Wick killed Satan in seconds, they didn't even dare to show their faces. One pirate group was even so scared that they sailed away.
When Vic and his pirate ship left the coast and headed for the depths of the Grand Line and disappeared from the sea, the crowd watching on the shore gradually dispersed.
Some people who came for intelligence sent out the relevant information and photos of Vic and his group. Of course, among them were reporters from the World Economic News and agents of the World Government hiding on the island.
The photo of Vic strolling in the garden when he first arrived on the island, the photo of him stabbing Satan's head with a knife in the tavern, and the photo of Vic boarding the ship with the entire pirate ship, all of these have been sent out. Of course, the details have already been transmitted back using Den Den Mushi, and I believe it will be in the newspaper soon.
Sure enough, the next day, news of Vick's first appearance in two months appeared in the World Economic Times and quickly spread around the world.
The above is about how Wick killed the pirate hunter Satan instantly as soon as he showed up, and it was accompanied by three photos. The most eye-catching one is the one in the middle where Wick pierced Satan's forehead.
The photo was taken from the side and rear, and only Vic's raised arms and half of his plain face could be seen. Although he seemed to have no expression, the state shown in this photo made him look even more ferocious than when he was a sailor.
Many people felt that without the constraints of the navy, Vic had completely let himself go and his methods were no longer restrained.
As for the expression on Satan's face, it was very complicated. The arrogance that had not yet disappeared, most of the confusion, the rising fear, and finally a hint of regret, this expression was simply incomprehensible to most people.
This news had a huge impact. Many pirates who had been eager to step on Wick stopped, and the bounty hunters and pirates who had gathered in the West Sea also dispersed.
Sengoku from the Navy Headquarters was so angry when he saw the pirate ship modified from Vick's warship that he started cursing, and the warships patrolling and searching the West Sea also headed towards the Grand Line.
At this time, Kizaru was already looking for Vic on the Grand Line, and after receiving the order, he began to rush towards Vic's route.
As for the three members of the Knights of God, they are still enjoying themselves in the West Sea, but after getting the news, they are also gathering towards the Grand Line. There is no way they will let Vic go. They want to regain the lost dignity of the Celestial Dragons.
Those who had been worried about Vic and had no news from him were finally relieved. Although Vic and his companions had become pirates, being able to survive was their greatest comfort.
Vic smiled as he looked at the newspaper. He had received news from Ban before and knew that Kizaru was in the Grand Line. Since they would have to meet sooner or later, he might as well do it while the Navy didn't have any careful plans.
If Kizaru doesn't come looking for him in the short term, the World Government and the Navy are most likely holding back and are preparing to crush him to death in one fell swoop. At that time, we should be alert.
As time goes on, their strength and abilities will be exposed more and more, and the World Government will make more adequate preparations to deal with them when it receives the news, so this battle must be fought quickly to catch Kizaru off guard.
At least the navy should know that he is not easy to mess with now. If Kizaru comes with one of his level, there is no way to stop him. As for wanting more? The navy does not have such abundant high-end forces now. Each of them has its own mission.
Kizaru was transferred from Vegapunk, and he can't keep chasing Wick, so as long as this wave shows that the navy can't do anything to Wick, his next voyage will be a lot easier. As for the World Government, just take your time. Anyway, Wick is a pirate now and doesn't have to go to work, so he has plenty of time to accompany them. It depends on who can't hold on in the end.
