Chapter 631 Pluto Rayleigh
Vic received a call from Satan on the third day in Cocosia Village. Vic then realized that Satan had called him several times in the past month, but the calls were never answered. That's why Vic put the call in the newspaper without signing the Shichibukai Contract.
At that time, Vic was in the trunk of the Tree of Souls and could not receive any calls at all. The Den Den Mushi were all out of service and the signal was completely blocked, which almost caused Bell-mère's tragic death. Vic had been very resentful of the Five Elders for directly publishing the list of the Seven Warlords in the newspaper, but now he realized that it was his own fault. He was very glad that he reacted quickly and caught up.
Satan called Vic to ask him to sign the contract again. After learning that he was in the East China Sea, he asked him to wait in Shampoodi for a while when he returned to the New World, and they would send the contract over.
However, Satan did not urge Vic. It was already late anyway, and it would not matter if it was a little later. There were only five of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Crocodile and Gekko Moriah were in the first half of the Grand Line, Jinbe was in Fishman Island, and Vic and Mihawk were guarding the New World.
This is how the Five Elders arranged it, and it was a good arrangement, taking care of all the pirates in the Grand Line. However, they cannot restrict the actions of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and can only be summoned when there are major events.
Vic was not in a hurry to return to the New World, as he had already planned to visit his relatives and friends. Although the Arlong incident had happened, it had now been resolved, so Vic left some sailing books that were originally prepared for Rebecca for Nami, and then went directly to Shimotsuki Village, but the first sentence he heard after entering the dojo made him uneasy.
"Eh? Isn't this the uncle who got lost last time? Is he here to ask for directions? Why hasn't he gotten out in such a long time?"
Zoro, who was only eight years old, was the first to see Vic. He quickly recognized that this was the uncle he had met last time. He uttered these words uncontrollably, and then was punched on the head by Kuina, who came out from behind and saw Vic's face full of surprise.
Zoro immediately covered his head with his hands and screamed, then turned to look at Kuina with an angry face. Kuina completely ignored him, pushed him away and threw herself into Vic's arms, with tears in her eyes and a look of resentment.
Vic hasn't come back to see her for more than two years. Her father told her that Vic was in danger and couldn't appear in front of others easily. He also didn't want to bring the danger to Donghai. She was really worried about Vic, and now he finally came back to see her.
Vic did not stay in Shimotsuki Village for long. He stayed for three days and chatted with Koshiro and his son before leaving. However, he lived with Kuina in the illusion for several months. This was the longest time the two had spent together, except for the time when he was learning kendo in the dojo.
Kuina was very satisfied this time. Vic gave her several soul fruits and also tested her swordsmanship skills. During the time she lived with Vic, her swordsmanship skills improved a lot. But she was still reluctant when Vic left, which made Zoro next to her feel jealous.
After leaving Shimotsuki Village, Wick came to Windmill Village again. Luffy left him some food to visit him. Wick then went up the mountain to find Ace. He still remembered the old man's entrustment. Although he is no longer a navy, he can take care of Ace in another way.
That is to make Ace stronger than in the original work, so that such tragedy will not happen, so Vic gave Ace special training in the illusion for another half a year. Although Ace was very unhappy about Vic's arrival, this was a continuation of his attitude towards the old man to Vic.
But in Vic's illusion, he had no choice but to endure everything passively. Ace trained passively for half a year. Vic's incarnation was watching him from the side, which made Ace feel powerless, as he couldn't stand it but couldn't get rid of it.
In the eyes of Dadan's bandits, Ace was sleeping all the time, and Vic was sitting cross-legged next to Ace. Ace's expression was sometimes ferocious and sometimes painful, and scars and bleeding appeared on his body from time to time, but they soon disappeared. They were stunned, but with the Seven Warlords of the Sea sitting next to them, they dared not do anything.
Vic left Windmill Village with Ace looking unhappy and Luffy looking reluctant. He did not leave the Soul Fruit for the two of them. Both of them were gifted geniuses. Vic believed that they could break through to the realm of God even without the Soul Fruit.
Even if they don't have enough time to develop, it won't be too late for Wick to help them then. One is the destined protagonist, and the other is the son of the Pirate King. It's no surprise that any miracles happen to them. They are also the main force to overthrow the world government in the future. Wick values them very much.
After leaving the East China Sea, Vic went directly to the Sabaody Archipelago. After calling Satan, Vic came to Shaqi's extortion bar. He did not go to find Ben. Since leaving the navy, he has never looked for Ben in public. He has always been in contact through Den Den Mushi. Ban's intelligence agency is a very important part of his future plans and cannot be exposed.
Xia Qi was still the same, lying on the bar smoking. A few years had passed, and her figure and appearance hadn't changed at all. Vic didn't know how she did it.
But Vic didn't think much about it. A figure sitting at the bar drinking caught his attention. Looking at the style of the cloak and hairstyle, Vic recognized it as Pluto Rayleigh at a glance.
Vic has come to the bar to extort money several times, but this is the first time he has encountered the Pirate King's right hand. Just the back view gave him a great sense of oppression. This is the induction between strong men!
Even though Rayleigh is already sixty years old and his hair is completely white, he is still in perfect condition. He has no injuries, no disabilities, and no weaknesses left by eating the devil fruit. No wonder he dares to be so free under the noses of the World Government and the Navy. Everything comes from his own strength.
"Hey! Here comes an extraordinary person!"
Vic could sense Rayleigh's power, and Rayleigh could naturally sense his. Rayleigh had never seen Vic, so he naturally didn't know who this strange aura belonged to, but Xia Qi recognized him.
The former small figures have become great figures in Rayleigh's eyes. Their growth is incredible. However, she is well-informed. She knows a lot about what happened between Vic and the Navy and the World Government, and knows the general cause and effect.
I also know that Victor forced the World Government to compromise, which is something that Rocks couldn't do back then. Perhaps the main reason why Rocks couldn't do it was that the pirate group was not united, but that also shows Victor's ability. Xia Qi's mentality has completely changed, and she no longer has the indifferent attitude at the beginning. She must take the young man in front of her seriously in the future.
"I guess you are the vice-captain of the Pirate King, Pluto Rayleigh. Shanks has mentioned you to me. Are you interested in joining my pirate group?"
