Chapter 665: Four Emperors
When the other trainee Marines saw Vic, their panic turned into nervousness and curiosity. They all knew Vic, but not very well.
The Navy has hidden a lot of information about Vic. They are also newcomers who have just come to the Navy Headquarters not long ago. They only know that Vic used to be a marine, a very good marine, and now he is a pirate, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the Pirate King on the government side.
As for what happened in the meantime and how Vic became a pirate, they were not very clear about the process. It had been several years since the incident. They had also heard rumors that Vic was Zephyr's student, but they never got a definite answer when they asked Zephyr out of curiosity. Now that they saw Vic coming to rescue Zephyr, they believed it a lot.
"Teacher Zefa! Long time no see!"
"Yes!"
......
Vic and Zefa exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the trainees finally believed that the rumor was true after hearing Vic's address. But why didn't Teacher Zefa want to mention it? They were confused, and after Vic left, they had to ask again.
How could they know Zephyr's complicated feelings? He was really heartbroken that Vic, such a talented person, was forced away by the World Government. Every time someone mentioned Vic, his heart couldn't help but twitch. Such a good seedling, the only choice for the future Navy Marshal, was gone just like that. His heart sank, and he was not willing to say anything more!
Vic and Zefa chatted about the current situation for a while. On the other side, Weevil and Miss Bakin had been tied up with chains by the trainee marines. At this time, both of them showed signs of waking up.
Vic walked over and used his ability to wake the two men up. He asked some questions, then said hello and goodbye to Zefa and disappeared on the warship. He knew it would not be difficult to kill the two men in front of Zefa, but there was no need to do so!
Even if the two are pirates, killing them by force will only make Zephyr unhappy. Not killing the admiral is no joke. Anyway, the two have no ability to resist now, so Wick can leave with peace of mind. Even if they escape from Impel Down in the future, they will not threaten Wick, and Zephyr has survived his crisis.
It was from the information Vic got from Bakin that he understood why Bakin and Weevil only appeared in the Grand Line now. Bakin is similar to Caesar Courant, Quinn, and Judge, all of them are mediocre scientists. Weevil is a clone she created by combining her own genes with Whitebeard's genes.
But her cloning technology is also not very good, which is why she bred the stupid and silly Weebull. In terms of technology, it still needs the super brain Vegapunk. Stussy, who was cloned using Bakin's genes, is so perfect!
However, Whitebeard's genes are still strong. Even though Bakin's skills are mediocre and Weevil is stupid, the talent of this body is really high.
Before, Weibull had been growing in the nutrient solution, and Ba Jin had been guarding by the side, which was why Ban hadn't found them for so many years.
Another reason is that Ba Jin's laboratory is in the West Sea, not in the Grand Line. Ban's intelligence investment in the Four Seas is much less than that in the Grand Line, so they have never been discovered.
It was not until recently that Weevil matured that Bakin brought Weevil to the Grand Line. She also learned about the Seven Warlords of the Sea. She also wanted to have the right to legally plunder. After learning how Doflamingo became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, she was also moved.
She wanted to make Weevil famous, and she also wanted to threaten the World Government to push Weevil to power. Her plan was to kidnap enough navy men for negotiations, so she and Weevil set their sights on this training ship.
Ba Jin didn't know that this was the warship led by Zefa, otherwise she would have run as far away as possible. She couldn't afford to mess with the former navy admiral.
Ba Jin set his sights on the warship, and the people on the warship also set their sights on her pirate ship. What do trainee recruits do in the first half of the Grand Line? Isn't it to fight against the pirates who have just entered the Grand Line in actual combat?
So after the two ships got close, some of the young and inexperienced recruits rushed onto the pirate ship, yelling, relying on their knowledge of a few moves of the Six Styles. Although Weevil couldn't beat Zephyr, these recruits were no match for him.
These recruits were quickly knocked down by Weeble, and then Zefa realized something was wrong and wanted to take action, but Bajin also saw Zefa. She knew the former navy admiral Zefa, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she thought to herself that something bad was going to happen. However, after her eyes swept over the recruits lying on the ground, she had an idea in her mind, and then those recruits became hostages, so Zefa had to be cautious.
Seeing Zefa so worried about the safety of the hostages, Ba Jin rolled her eyes and had a new idea. She wanted Weevil to become famous quickly, and what faster way was there than defeating the former admiral? So there was the tragedy that appeared in the original work!
But now that Vic is here, all her plans have gone to waste. She and Wilbur are going to Impel Down to sing their tears behind bars. More than ten years of hard work and protection have turned into nothing in one day. Ba Jin is heartbroken!
Why did you meet Vic, a Shichibukai? Why do you, a Shichibukai, want to meddle in the affairs of the navy? Believe it or not, I will let my old lover Whitebeard beat you to death? I will seek revenge on you after I escape from Impel Down!
Haiyuan calendar year 1514
With the title of Shichibukai, Wake has really become idle. Even the World Government rarely summons them. Even if they are summoned, Wake decides whether to participate or not based on his mood. Just like Mihawk in the original work, his strength is there, and whether he participates or not depends on his mood.
That's because in kendo, Mihawk was able to defeat Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, proving his strength. However, that's only in kendo. In terms of overall strength, Mihawk is definitely not as good as Shanks.
As for Vic, he has actually defeated Big Mom. His strength is no longer that of an ordinary Shichibukai. As for whether he can summon the World Government, it really depends on his mood.
In addition, Wick became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea just to give face to the World Government and resolve the obvious hatred between them. The Five Elders could do nothing about Wick and could only pretend they didn't know to avoid embarrassing them.
Another major event happened this year. It has been three years since Kaido became the Emperor of the Sea recognized by the World Government. Red-Haired Shanks has also fought in the New World for many years and finally became the fourth Emperor of the Sea recognized by the World Government.
Later, the situation of the Four Emperors in the New World had been formed, and many pirate groups and countries joined the Red Hair Pirates and were protected by them.
Compared to the way Kaido and Big Mom rule their territory, Whitebeard and Shanks' way is more gentle. Of course, compared to the small tribute paid to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates basically adopt a voluntary attitude.
They do not pay tribute or collect taxes, and the expenses of the pirate group are either robbed from other pirate groups and the World Government, or voluntarily donated by those protected countries. Therefore, in Shanks' territory, the reputation and power of the Red Hair Pirates are unparalleled, and the people's support is the best among the Four Emperors.
After the news that Shanks became the fourth emperor of the sea was published in the newspaper, Wick also saw the news, so Wick left Titan Island and came to the temporary base of the Red Hair Pirates.
Since the assessment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Vic has not challenged Shanks for actual combat. At that time, Shanks was no longer his opponent. After surpassing Shanks, Vic will only become stronger and stronger. There is no need to challenge him for combat anymore.
But Vic still occasionally went to Shanks to drink. This time when Shanks became the emperor of the sea, Vic also went to congratulate him and had a good meal.
