Chapter 628 Deterrence
After Vic finished speaking, he turned around and helped Bellmère up from the ground, using his ability to heal some of her minor injuries. As for the broken arm, it could not be healed immediately.
Vic was not afraid of what Aaron would do when he turned his back to him, because his ability to foresee the future would teach him a lesson.
Seeing Vic's face and hearing what Vic said, the villagers and Ajian all breathed a sigh of relief. Today, they had the help of a noble person and were saved from danger. Although Vic was also a pirate now, wasn't he wronged? In their hearts, Vic had always been a navy, so they didn't worry about what Vic would do to them.
While Xiaoba was stunned, Nami and Nojiko broke free from the tentacles and ran over, hugging Bell-mère's legs on the left and right and crying loudly. They were almost scared to death just now. They almost lost their closest person. Their spirits were almost collapsed in despair.
Even though Vic had his back to Aaron, Aaron didn't dare to do anything. He was too afraid of Vic. Although he was struggling in his heart, he was naturally unwilling to accept that his ambition to build the Aaron Empire was strangled just as it was beginning.
However, when he returned to Fishman Island from Impel Down to gather people, Jinbei warned him that if he didn't want to die, he shouldn't seek revenge on Vic. With Vic's strength, he could not match him even if he practiced for a hundred years.
Aaron really didn't dare to seek revenge on Vic, but this time it was Vic who bumped into him! Why do you like to meddle in other people's business so much? I just wanted to find an easy target to pick on? Why did I run into an iron wall before I even started? What is the relationship between your small village and Vic? This is really unlucky.
"Put down the money! Let's go!"
After hesitating for a while, Aaron still followed his inner choice. Being tough would cost him his life, so why bother being tough for just a few seconds?
Aaron was just a little reckless, he was not stupid, so he just put away his gun and left with his men. Only two cloth bags filled with money and a villager lying on the ground groaning were left at the scene.
"Here! Eat it!"
Vic took out a soul fruit and handed it to Bell-mère. Bell-mère was a retired marine who was slightly stronger than ordinary people and had been hungry for a long time. If Vic treated her arm directly, he would definitely drain all the energy from her body.
By then she would definitely be horribly thin, so Vic simply took out a soul fruit with an extremely high content of spiritual essence and gave it to her to eat, so that further treatment would not affect her body.
"Yes! Thank you!"
Although Bell-mère has retired, she still pays close attention to the affairs between the navy and pirates, otherwise she would not have recognized Arlong at the first time, so she has been paying attention to him as early as when Vic came to the fore.
Later, as Vic's performance became more and more dazzling, she regarded Vic as an idol and did many things that she wanted to do but couldn't do. When she learned that Vic was also from Donghai, she was even more proud of him.
But later she saw the news that Vic had defected from the navy. At that time, she was unwilling to believe it. Based on her understanding and imagination of Vic, Vic would never do those things. He must have been framed!
Fortunately, the World Government rehabilitated Vic three months ago, and she finally felt relieved. Today, when she was about to die, her idol stood in front of her like a god. That tall figure was so reliable that it could shield her from all the wind and rain. She looked at Vic's handsome face and took a bite of the soul fruit without hesitation.
"Hmm? This smell! So delicious! So delicious! Mr. Vick! Can I leave some for the kids?"
As soon as the soul fruit entered her mouth, the wonderful taste rushed straight to Bellmère's crown. The increase in her mental strength made her feel refreshed. Her mind kept recalling the taste of the fruit when she chewed it before. When she saw such a delicious fruit, she immediately thought of Nojiko and Nami, and then she said to Vic with a blushing face.
"Just eat it. This is for your healing. I have more here and I will share it with them later."
Vic is not a stingy person. He only ate alone in the past because of the small number of people. At least he wanted to let the one with better talent become stronger first.
Now that there are 100,000 soul fruits, he is no longer so concerned. He can only eat one a day. It takes others several days to completely digest the essence and the mysterious power that can enhance mental strength.
Therefore, the amount of soul fruit is still very large. When he returns, he will distribute it to other partners to use, so that everyone's mental power can undergo a transformation. It would be even better if a few potential gods of magic could emerge among them.
"Yeah! I see. Thank you, Mr. Vic!"
Knowing that both Nokiko and Nami had food to eat, Bell-mère no longer hesitated and swallowed the whole soul fruit bite by bite. Then Vic used the power of the fruit to directly invade Bell-mère's body and began treatment.
Bellmère's broken arm recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the other bruises and bleeding wounds also healed and returned to their original skin color. She suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and all the fatigue and hidden diseases that had accumulated in her body disappeared!
This made Bellmère marvel at the magic of the soul fruit. She also knew that the fruit that Vic gave her was very precious. They had just met for the first time today, and she accepted such a great gift. She felt a little embarrassed.
If Vic wasn't young and handsome, she would really think that Vic was after her beauty. He saved her life and gave her the holy fruit to heal her wounds. These were not things that could be done by someone who had just met her.
But it made sense when she thought about the fact that he was her idol. Vic was such a righteous person. But she didn't understand why Vic was only so kind to her family. There were many other injured villagers, and Ajian had shed a lot of blood, but Vic had no intention of taking out the fruit to save them.
Bellmère didn't know that Vic used his ability to heal her. She just thought it was the effect of the soul fruit, and then she made up a lot of nonsense in her mind.
In Vic's eyes, it would be a waste to give soul fruits to ordinary people like them. Those minor injuries would heal in a few days. Wasting soul fruits would bring divine punishment, as they were preparations for becoming gods.
But the soul fruit will definitely not be wasted after it is given to Nami. With her extraordinary talent in astronomy, it would not be surprising for her to become the god of magic Wic in the future.
There are a few people with extremely high talents who can comprehend the laws and achieve the status of God of Law on their own even without eating the Devil Fruit. When it comes to weather, Vic has not seen anyone with higher talent than Nami, so this is considered an investment now. If Nami becomes the God of Law in the future, it will be a great help.
"Here! One for each of you. Eat slowly and don't choke!"
After curing Bell-mère, Vic took out two soul fruits and handed them to Nami and Nojiko who were looking at him with curiosity.
Nami is seven years old this year, and Noki is two or three years taller than Nami. They are at the right age to be cute and look very adorable. After handing the soul fruit to them, Vic picked up one in each hand, making them the same height as Bellmère.
Ajian, who was standing nearby, was so jealous that he was going crazy after seeing this scene. Normally, the two girls would cry whenever he wanted to hug them, and he had to think of countless ways to please them. But the guy in front of him only hugged the two girls for the first time and they were so happy. Does he have the right to do whatever he wants just because he is handsome?
