Chapter 725 Windmill Village
After the three people and six beasts returned to Isshin Dojo, they still caused exclamations from the apprentices. These beasts were the most slippery in the forest and difficult for ordinary hunters to catch them, otherwise beasts that tasted so good would have been caught long ago.
It was really surprising to see them following the three people obediently without any fear of humans. I didn’t know how they did it, but no one explained it to them.
The six beasts lived their lives at the happiest time and without any pain. The last moments of their lives were filled with beautiful memories arranged by Vic. They were among the happiest beasts in the forest.
When the meat was served, Kozaburo felt that the taste of these wild beasts was much better than he remembered. This puzzled him. He didn't know whether it was because the chef's skills had improved or his memories had faded. However, the taste of other ordinary vegetables did not change much.
It was not Vic who cooked this time. Only Vic guessed that the better taste of the meat might be related to their mood before death. However, this guess was too idealistic, so Vic did not say it out loud.
Victor stayed in Isshin Dojo for one night and then left Kuina alone. He wanted to witness the historic moment of Luffy going out to sea. There was no need to bring Kuina with him at this time. It was more important to let her reunite with her family for a few days.
Victor was counting the days, and when he left Shimotsuki Village it was already May 5th, which was Luffy's birthday and the day he went to sea when he turned seventeen.
Luffy is a man of his word and will never change his decision unless something major happens. If he says he will go to sea at the age of seventeen, then he will go to sea on the day he turns seventeen, not a day earlier or later.
At Vic's speed, it would only take him a moment to reach Frost Moon Village and Windmill Village in the East China Sea, so it was completely possible to set off that day.
“哟！都在呢！你这是被老爷子揍了啊，头上这么大两个包？不知道的还以为你长了对犄角呢，爱的铁拳不好受吧，哈哈哈！”
Although Victor wanted to witness the historic moment of Luffy, the protagonist, going out to sea, he did not want to show up in the open. However, when he appeared in a hidden place, he found that there were already two familiar figures here. As expected, the vision of the strong men is similar, and the hidden positions with good views are recognized, so they all gathered here.
"Stop your cynical remarks. As the leader of the revolutionary army, I will be beaten. As a pirate, you will be beaten too. Don't be happy too soon!"
When Dorag spoke, he looked indignant. Why did his old man beat him every time he saw him? He could not figure out this question. Was he not his biological son?
There are different points in the story when Garp beats Dragon. The meaning of beating him before and after the points is different, and this point is when he quit the navy.
Before he quit the navy, Garp beat him in order to train him and cultivate him so that he could become an excellent marine faster.
Beating him up after quitting the navy was simply because he didn't like him. He gave up his bright future in the navy and joined the Volunteer Army to resist the World Government's interference in his internal affairs? And then he founded the Revolutionary Army, an organization that specifically fights against the Celestial Dragons? How would Garp, a hero of the navy, feel about this? Of course, he would beat him up every time he saw him!
However, after communicating with Vic several times, Garp came to his senses and decided that it would be better to overthrow such a brutal world government. He was ashamed of the title of navy hero and should not have saved those celestial dragons in the Valley of the Gods.
The old man now feels that there is nothing wrong with the Revolutionary Army. However, when he sees Dragon, his fists start to itch and he can't help but hit Dragon on the head. It may be because he hit him too many times in the past and his body has formed a conditioned reflex, which cannot be changed in a short time.
"Hahaha! No way, how could the old man bear to beat me, right, old man?"
In the past, when he was on the Dog-Headed Battleship, Vic was often beaten by Garp, but that was all to make him adapt to the influence of the Conqueror's Haki on his mind and improve his practical experience.
After his strength was recognized by the old man, he basically never got beaten. Now that the two of them have the same thoughts, he will be beaten even less. Dorag's wish is doomed to fail.
“Hahahahaha! I got used to it after fighting so many times before. Now I can’t control myself when I see that face. This only shows that the boy is not strong enough. He can’t even dodge the old man’s attack. He is really useless. Hahahaha!”
Ever since Vic adjusted Cap's body and made him younger, he has been wearing a dog-head hat. He is still wearing it now. The gold ring on his finger sparkles in the sun, and he looks no different from before.
But there was a unique aura about him, some indescribable feeling that made people involuntarily admire him. People in the navy thought it was caused by his legendary identities as a marine and naval hero, and they didn't think of anything else.
However, his old comrade Sengoku has also had this feeling in recent years. He always stares at him with strange eyes, which makes Garp, who has a big heart, feel a little uneasy. He rarely goes to Sengoku's office to steal senbei. Now he is basically on missions outside and rarely returns to the Marine Headquarters.
"You can also be called an old man? Which old man can have your strength and speed? If you are still considered an old man, then there are no old people in this world! I want to hide! But can I hide?"
Dorag was really depressed. When he saw his old man's fist trembling, he knew that he was in trouble, but it was useless even though he dodged in advance. He still had two bumps on his head.
He couldn't see the old man's movements at all, it was as if the old man had never left the spot. But in the whole Windmill Village, there couldn't be such a strong man except the old man. Who else could he fight except him?
In addition to being depressed, Dorag was more shocked. He was shocked by the old man's strength. After not seeing him for so many years, the old man's strength has become more abnormal. He himself has been on the rise, but now it seems that he still can't figure out the old man's bottom. Beating him is still like beating a child. This is a 70-year-old man? No one would believe it if I told them!
"You guys are here to witness Luffy's departure, right? I didn't expect that everyone thought of the same thing. Today is Luffy's birthday. Are you sure you don't want to show up?"
Of course Vic knew how terrifying the old man's current strength was. This was why he was so eager to comprehend the laws. He wanted to experience that realm as soon as possible!
So he didn't want to continue the previous topic. If he continued, he would have to talk about the old man's strength. Now the old man is the trump card. Whether it is him or the revolutionary army, the old man is the trump card. It is better not to talk about related topics now.
With the remote monitoring capability of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, there are other undetectable ways to eavesdrop on information. So except for the time when he persuaded the old man, Vic never talked about the subject of the Realm of God again. As long as he didn't make a breakthrough, this would be top secret.
"Not showing up is the best way to protect him. This is how he has been through all these years anyway. He needs to see the world by himself!"
Garp didn't say much. It was not appropriate for him to be there. When a grandfather who is a navy man sees his grandson going out to sea as a pirate, should he stop him or not?
And the view that Dragon has always held is that the weakness of parents is their children. He doesn't know what Luffy's future will be like, nor does he know that Luffy is the chosen one. So this view is not wrong. Luffy also needs time to grow up, and appearing to ignore him is the best protection.
