Chapter 611 Leaving
Without Vic's stimulation, analysis of the world situation and the proper placement of his concerns, Mantis really would not come out again, even if Whitebeard invited him personally.
But the moment he decided to seek help from Big Brother, he already owed Whitebeard a favor, and it was a big favor. Now that Whitebeard invited him so earnestly, he could not agree. Naturally, many thoughts would arise in his mind.
"Him? This guy can't even protect himself, and can't even protect the people in your hometown. What do you like about him?"
Whitebeard actually admires Vic very much, but Vic's current situation is indeed not good. He can imagine that the old men in the World Government will not let Vic go easily, and he doesn't want his little brother to get into trouble, so he belittles Vic.
"I am impressed by his courage and ambition. Although he can't protect them now, he will definitely be able to protect everyone in the future! I firmly believe it!"
After more than a month of getting along, Mantis had a completely new understanding of Vic, which was beyond the evaluation of Vic in the newspapers and the image that formed in his mind after seeing the news.
In the battle, Vic is now completely defeated by him. Moreover, he is so young, has a promising future, and has unmatched courage. Although Rocks also wants to overthrow the World Government, he wants to become the king of the world.
Vic is fighting for dignity, equality, peace, freedom, and for future generations. Compared with Vic, Rocks is completely defeated.
In addition, Victor has a very clear understanding of the world situation and the future development of the pirate group. He knows what he is doing and has been working hard for that goal. There are many other things, but these points alone are enough to make him admire Captain Victor very much.
"Oh! He actually impressed you. I want to see what he is capable of. Don't hide behind Mantis. Come out and let me see him!"
Although Whitebeard guessed the relationship between the two, he was still surprised by Mantis's answer. Who is Mantis? He was forced to join the pirate ship by Rocks. Like the others, he did not truly submit to Rocks from the bottom of his heart.
Judging from Mantis's performance just now, the two people in front of him were obviously not in the same relationship as them and Rocks, otherwise Vic would not allow Mantis to send people from his hometown to his territory.
But for the sake of his younger brother's personal safety, he still wanted to test Vic's quality. After saying that, he drew out the supreme big sword behind the seat and rushed towards Vic.
Vic was also a little confused when he saw this scene. He didn't say a word and just stood behind Mantis waiting for the two to talk. Why did he come to chop me with a knife?
But now he had no time to think about it. Whitebeard's Cloud Cut carried a terrifying aura that shocked people. Vic was very familiar with that. Whitebeard, you old man are very bad. You just came up to bully people. As expected, Rebecca covered the floating island just now. You old man still hold a grudge. Now you take the opportunity to vent, right?
Vic drew out the blood from his waist and wrapped it with domineering aura, pushed aside the Mantis in front of him and rushed towards Whitebeard. The two swords did not collide with each other, but a red cyclone was generated in the middle, but it looked more violent than if they had collided with each other.
The black and red lightning flashed like a dragon, and the strong aura that shocked the mind spread out instantly. The air around was surging wildly, and the people who were watching the excitement fell down one after another. The few people who did not fall down had their clothes blown violently by the wind from nowhere, and they could hardly open their eyes.
The plants on the shore fell to the other side with the Moby Dick as the center, and those that could not withstand the pressure had already broken. A large number of black clouds gathered in the sky at some point, and in the middle of the black cloud there was an abyss-like crack, like the mark left by a sharp weapon.
Looking up from the sea directly below, the entire sky seemed to be split apart. It was too shocking. This was the strange phenomenon produced by the collision between the tyrants. It was a height that could not be reached by the collision of any other moves. Even the style and power of the admirals of the navy would be much worse in performance.
"good!"
This fight ended with Whitebeard not moving at all and Vic taking five steps back. Whitebeard originally wanted to see Vic's strength, and he had nothing to say about Vic's performance.
If he really had to say something, he would say that Vic was a little monster, performing like this at this age. He asked himself if he could not do it when he was young, and the gap was still quite large. Therefore, Vic was qualified to be the captain of Mantis, and there was no need to proceed any further.
Since Whitebeard has stopped, Vic will naturally not attack again. Although Whitebeard is over fifty years old, he is still in good health. Whitebeard is not even bald yet. Vic knows that he cannot beat Whitebeard now. Even if he can, there is no reason for him to attack. What's more, Mantis needs help from others now, so he will not take the initiative to attack.
Soon Whitebeard returned to his seat and continued drinking. The tense atmosphere just now was gone, but many people fainted from that blow, but this had nothing to do with the protagonists.
Whitebeard ordered Marco and others to deal with the fainted person and continue preparing for the banquet. He then took Mantis to drink and ignored Vic.
"Jinbei! I didn't expect you to join the Whitebeard Pirates. Where's that guy? Is he here too?"
Whitebeard ignored Vic and he didn't care either. He saw the familiar blue fat man in the crowd and walked over to chat with Jinbei. As for that who, he was referring to Fisher Tiger. Fisher Tiger was already "dead", so Vic didn't want to mention this name.
"That guy is not here. He came to the New World earlier than me. King Neptune and Dad are good friends. He recommended me to come to Dad's place to practice."
Jinbei was also very happy to see Vic, as he was the great benefactor of their Sun Pirates. Although Arlong was the only one operating a sewing machine in Impel Down, everyone else was alive and well!
Now that Vic is no longer a navy officer, the remaining grudges have completely disappeared. It would be even better when Tiger can live an upright life.
......
After Marco and the others loaded all the things needed for the banquet onto the ship, Whitebeard ordered the Moby Dick to set sail, with the floating island in the sky following closely behind. Mantis wanted to arrange the people as soon as possible, but Whitebeard insisted on letting him leave after the banquet.
So Vic had no choice but to stay with them all the time. When the Moby Dick arrived at an empty sea area, the banquet officially began. Whitebeard no longer gave Vic a cold shoulder and asked him to call other partners to join the banquet.
Then the two pirate groups held a banquet in a warm atmosphere. Whitebeard didn't pay much attention to Wick, but was particularly friendly to Rebecca and Iin beside Wick, like a grandfather looking at his granddaughter. Maybe Whitebeard had too many godsons, and it was a bit disharmonious for him to stay with them for a long time.
"Vick! The waters of the World Government are very deep! Very deep! You better be careful, don't show your full strength, this is my advice to you!"
After the banquet, Whitebeard was a little tipsy, but still conscious. He asked Marco to take Vic and the others to a chosen location. Before leaving, he said something meaningful to Vic.
Vic took a deep look at Whitebeard, then glanced at Blackbeard not far away, and then led everyone away from the Moby Dick. Then the floating island followed Marco's instructions and left the sea area.
