Chapter 776 Facing Despair
“Hmm? So it’s Thor Wick. I didn’t expect you’re still in the Sabaody Archipelago. You’d better stay for a few more days, otherwise you’ll have to come back again after leaving.
They are just a bunch of young fools! They were caught in a disaster. A group of lawless pirates on the island attacked the world's noble Celestial Dragons. The Five Elders said they would catch all the pirates on the island. Then I was unlucky and was drafted into the army!"
At first, Kizaru didn't notice Vic's arrival, even when Vic was having dinner with Bonnie in a restaurant not far away, he didn't notice it.
Kizaru doesn't take supernovas seriously, so that's why he doesn't release his Observation Haki.
Another reason is that Vic's strength has reached a certain level, and he has a sense of returning to nature. When he does not use his strength, he is just like an ordinary person and will not attract the special attention of the strong.
Even if he released his Observation Haki, he might just glance past him and no longer pay attention to him, so Kizaru only saw him after Vic spoke.
It’s just that Victor’s appearance is very special. He no longer has the familiar double swords on his waist. Instead, there is a little girl. And the thunder drum that appears and disappears from time to time is floating behind him. So Kizaru calls Victor the God of Thunder. Obviously, he also knows that the drum behind Victor’s head is related to the ability of the fruit, and it has been named in the navy, and it is called the thunder drum.
"Oh! They're going to catch them all in one fell swoop! How scary! I'm a pirate too, they're not going to catch me too, are they?"
"Do you think we don't want to catch you? What can we do if we can't defeat you?" Kizaru complained in his heart.
Vic glanced at the supernovas who had already woken up and said, "Those few were also looking at Vic. Of course, they knew Vic. How many pirates among the Seven Warlords of the Sea didn't know him? Not to mention the outstanding ones who could come to the Sabaody Archipelago."
The photo on the bounty order for Vic is the one with a thunder drum behind his head. This is the new photo that the World Government gave him after he became one of the Shichibukai. They feel that this kind of Vic is more deterrent and can better reflect the powerful oppression of the Shichibukai!
So when these people saw the iconic thunder drum behind Vic, they immediately recognized him. As for why the previous restaurant owner failed to recognize him? Of course, Vic didn't want him to recognize him. When you invite people to dinner, you don't need a group of trembling people around to serve you. It will affect your appetite!
At this time, several supernovas were looking at Vic on the roof curiously. Seeing such a person, their injuries seemed less important.
"Although you are also a pirate, you are a pirate recognized by the World Government and are not among the targets. Did you see that big guy? It's Dr. Vegapunk's latest invention. The fact that he didn't react to you says it all. Is that little girl your daughter? She's so cute!"
Kizaru also knew that Vic was teasing him. Not to mention that he didn't need to pay attention to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even if the Five Elders asked him to pay attention, it would be useless. He was no match for Vic more than ten years ago, and now the gap is probably even bigger. In addition, a cyborg is of no use, as the cyborg probably can't even withstand a single move from Vic.
However, compared to Vic, Kizaru was more interested in the little girl with her limbs hanging around Vic's waist. At first sight, Kizaru fell in love with the little girl, and a sense of intimacy suddenly came over him.
"Her! She's my friend's daughter. I brought her out today to treat her to a meal. Now she's full and doesn't want to move. Since she's not here to arrest me, I'll leave!"
Vic glanced at the supernovas on the other side again. They had come back to their senses. Although they were very curious about the legendary figure Vic, their lives were more important now and they had to get out of Kizaru's sight as soon as possible.
While Vic and Kizaru were chatting, the cunning Appu had already disappeared into the building complex, and the others were ready to escape.
After taking a look at the supernova, Vic turned his attention to the android. This product, which was originally based on the Big Bear, had a completely changed image. Except for being still a little giant, only the robot's eyes were the same as the modified Big Bear. This was deliberately modified to facilitate scanning.
As for the face, this android is more robotic than Big Bear and looks a little dumber. Anyway, Wick has never seen this face, so he doesn't know where Vegapunk found the original body. Of course, it is more likely that it was sent by the World Government.
"Go slowly, don't send me away!"
Kizaru naturally couldn't restrict Vic's actions, so he could only go along with others' politeness. Then he saw Vic perform the Moon Step, and with a few stomps in the air he disappeared among the branches of the Alman mangroves.
He had never seen such advanced Moon Step in the Navy. If Vic had not left the Navy, he should be the best Moon Step master in the Navy. Kizaru thought to himself as he looked at the mottled shadows of the trees where Vic was no longer visible, but what had happened could not be undone!
Vic didn't use more sophisticated means to leave, naturally because he didn't want to expose himself. And it was most appropriate for him to use the Moon Step in front of Kizaru. Everyone knew he could use the Moon Step anyway!
After leaving Kizaru, Vic went straight to the location of the Straw Hat Pirates and found a mangrove trunk not too far from Luffy and his friends to hide himself. What followed was to witness the important moment that changed the fate of the Straw Hat Pirates!
Vic released his Observation Haki and found that the bear was hiding on a mangrove trunk just like him. On the ground, the three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates were fighting the androids.
The androids couldn't last more than half a move against Vic, but they were able to fight on equal terms with the three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates. The androids were transformed based on clones, and when choosing the clones, Vegapunk made a comprehensive consideration of the clones' physical strength, power, speed, etc.
In the original work, Vegapunk's favorite was Ursa Major, who was a special race and was the best in all aspects of physical fitness. Later, Seraph even used the bloodline factor of Ashes, one of the Three Calamities, so from these we can see how strict Vegapunk is with his work.
He is an inventor who pursues perfection, and he would never choose a useless person as a model. Coupled with Kizaru's laser beam, the current three main forces can only barely hold back the androids. They dare not even touch the laser beams shot by the androids!
Not far away there was a Zhan Taomaru carrying a big axe and looking at him covetously. This was the first time that the android came out to perform a mission, and a lot of data needed to be collected, otherwise Zhan Taomaru would have done it himself. He is not even a formal navy now, so he still needs to show himself.
Not long after, Zhan Taomaru's call finally got through, and then Kizaru rushed over. Facing a cyborg, the Straw Hat Pirates were already in trouble enough, and now with the arrival of a navy admiral, the situation suddenly fell into despair!
Kizaru’s main mission when he came to the Sabaody Archipelago this time is to capture the murderer who beat the Celestial Dragons. The most important thing is to make an example of him!
Not everyone can beat the Celestial Dragons. If the murderer who beats the Celestial Dragons can still get away with it, then the status and majesty of the Celestial Dragons will be a joke, and there will be no shortage of people who will follow their example.
So after receiving the call from Zhan Taomaru, Kizaru immediately rushed to the real boss. As for Vic, the madman who had killed the Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders and the navy's top brass had selectively forgotten about him!
"How terrifying! Is this the Straw Hat Boy who beat up the world's nobles? You are so small, but I didn't expect you to be so brave. You can really cause trouble for me!"
After Kizaru arrived at the battlefield, he first observed the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, and then walked towards the battlefield step by step. His goal was very clear, which was to defeat the Straw Hat Boy of the Celestial Dragons.
After seeing Kizaru entering the battlefield, the android immediately changed his target of attack. He abandoned the three main forces and attacked the remaining people.
"Uncle! Who are you? Are you their boss?"
Luffy asked while gasping for breath as he looked at Kizaru who was walking towards him. His energy consumption was indeed very high. The androids had thick skin and flesh and were exposed to laser beams. His attacks were difficult to penetrate and he spent most of his time dodging laser beams.
The same thing happened to Zoro and Sanji beside him. Now that they had no opponents, they gasped for breath, but the fear in their eyes became even deeper. Kizaru who was walking over looked like he was not someone that was going to be easy on him!
