Chapter 843 Reward Changes
With the appearance of Blackbeard, Marco has been a little sensitive towards everyone recently. However, after being reminded by Red Hair and thinking about Vic's past, he found that the person he should least suspect is Vic!
He could get whatever Vic wanted by himself, so there was no need for him to have any self-cultivation as an actor, so he apologized to Vic very sincerely and gave Red Hair's advice.
"He suggested it to me? It's his style, but I really don't have any thoughts on it. Just like Red Hair, if you need any help, feel free to contact us!
This time we received intelligence and rushed over to rescue you. This is what I promised Whitebeard at the top. He didn't let me save him, so he gave up his life but kept thinking about you!
So you all have to cherish your own lives. If you really can't, just give up your territory first. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood!"
Seeing that Marco was confessing and apologizing, Vic also confessed something that they didn't know. No one else knew about the conversation between Vic and Whitebeard except the two parties involved.
This has always been a mystery, and many people have been speculating what Vic said to Whitebeard at the time, after all, the footage was broadcast live.
Some people also speculated that Wick saved Ace of the Fire Fist because he reached some kind of agreement with Whitebeard, but there was no follow-up.
Speculations are always speculations. If Vic really took over Whitebeard's territory temporarily, then the speculation that an agreement was reached would definitely be considered true. Whitebeard exchanged the territory for Ace's life.
The reason why Wick, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, turned against Whitebeard was because he had his eyes on Whitebeard's territory and wanted to become the new emperor of the sea. There would surely be a lot of conspiracy theories at that time, and Wick would become the second most ambitious person after Blackbeard, so Wick still wanted to explain.
"Dad...! We are useless. We couldn't protect Dad, and now we can't protect the territory he left behind!"
"Dad is still thinking about us at a time like that, woooo!"
"Dad!"
...
The truth that Vic told was really sharp. Marco and the others shed tears. Whitebeard's love for them was too heavy, and he was worried before he died. They finally knew why Vic came so timely, and finally knew what kind of person Vic was!
No one else heard the conversation between the two at the bow. If Vic had a worse character, he could have just pretended that nothing happened. Who would know what agreement they reached?
Marco and the others also admired their father's vision even more. He was so accurate in judging people. He firmly trusted Vic from the beginning. They were still too naive!
Vic didn't disturb them from venting their emotions. Rebecca and the others were also silent and felt sympathy for Marco and the others. They were a group of children who had lost their fathers and a group of children who had lost their homes!
They couldn't help but think of Wick, the leader, and remembered what Wick had said to them. Every word was precious. The Whitebeard Pirates were a negative example. Rebecca and the others had a slight change in their state of mind. This might be the reward for traveling abroad!
"Vic! Everyone from the Thunder God Pirates! Thank you for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. If you need me in the future, please feel free to call me!"
After eating in silence, Marco was the first to stand up. Seeing Marco's look, Joz and others also stood up. Under Marco's leadership, they all bent down and bowed, showing their complete sincerity!
There is no doubt about Victor's character, and everyone in the Thunder God Pirates also deserves this gift, and they have reached a consensus in their hearts that this bow is just an appetizer.
"Didn't I just tell you? This is an agreement with Whitebeard. It has nothing to do with you. Your injuries are not serious. Let's say goodbye here. Contact me if you need anything!"
Vic also stood up, patted Marco on the shoulder and walked towards the beach first. Rebecca and the others also stood up, said hello and followed.
Marco and the others only have external injuries now, which basically do not affect their combat effectiveness, so there is no need for Vic to stay any longer. Blackbeard is unlikely to be so stubborn as to make a surprise attack, so there should be no danger in the short term.
"Golden Lion's ability is convenient. No wonder he was able to get here so quickly!"
Looking at the domineering pirate ship flying away, Marco murmured to himself that he did not try to keep Vic and the others because they had important things to do in the next period of time.
......
Away from the island where Marco and the others were, Vic asked Rebecca to put the boat back into the sea. He came out this time to look for strong men, so naturally he couldn't fly in the air all the time. Only on the sea would he have more opportunities.
Vic doesn't want to expand his own pirate group. He mainly wants to place those strong men into the navy. Of course, if he meets someone he particularly likes, he doesn't mind inviting him to join. For people like Aokiji, he will accept as many as they come.
"Vic! The news about us defeating the coalition forces last time was published in the newspaper. The bounties for those of us who took action have increased a lot. Although you didn't take action, your bounty has also increased. Here is the bounty order, take a look!"
Rebecca handed Vic a newspaper and several wanted posters. Vic took the newspaper and looked at it. Their news was on the front page headline, so it was obviously big news.
There are also several pictures, including one showing the Thor being besieged, one showing the ship being blown up, one showing the ship being torn apart by ocean currents, one showing the ship and its people being dismembered by countless flying swords, and one showing Vic and his companions standing on the bow watching the fun with grim expressions on their faces. Anyway, it shows the oppressive feeling of the Thunder God Pirates.
Throwing the newspaper aside, Vic picked up the bounty and started reading it again. The top one was Shanks's. He had made some moves during this period, and the bounty had increased by more than 200 million.
Vic went on to look at the next one, which was his own, and the bounty had increased by over 200 million, right behind Shanks.
Although Victor did not take action last time, the World Government obviously has not forgotten him. As long as someone from your pirate group takes action, it will be remembered against you.
Vic glanced at it and ignored it, moving on to look at the next one. Rebecca also came over because this one happened to be hers. The bounty had reached 13 billion Baileys, a significant increase, almost doubling.
This should be affected by Wick's identity as a partner of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The bounty has been suppressed, but once it breaks out, it will increase to the real level, just like when Hawkeye, Hancock and other Seven Warlords of the Sea were removed from the list, the bounty directly skyrocketed!
During the time when Wick was one of the Shichibukai, Rebecca and the others were not idle. They mostly went out and did a lot of things. Those things were just acts in Wick's eyes, but they were crimes in the eyes of the World Government. However, because of Wick's identity as Shichibukai, the World Government did not say anything.
It doesn't mean that they haven't recorded it in the little notebook. This is just the first wave of outbreak. The bounty for other people who didn't take action has not changed. It should have to wait until the next substantial action before it will increase.
"Yes, your bounty is in the first tier, below the Four Emperors. Your reputation has long been known throughout the New World. This bounty order can be considered as a vindication of your reputation. If the folks on Lep Island knew about this, I wonder what they would think!"
Vic has never gone back since he left Lep Island, mainly because he was afraid that the pirates who hated him would come and take revenge on him. After becoming a pirate, he would never go back. Even if he showed even a little bit of concern, that place would become his flaw, hurting others and himself. So Vic never went back, and he wouldn't let Rebecca go back either. Anyway, all their relatives were gone.
"I don't care. Ever since I became a pirate with you, I have never thought about going back. As long as I'm with you, anywhere is home!"
Rebecca said to Vic with deep affection, women are like this, when they meet someone they like, they are very outgoing. Now that she is Vic's woman, she is even clingy.
Rebecca felt that her life was almost complete, and it would be even more complete if she gave birth to two more children for Vic. However, Vic kept rejecting her request, which made her feel a little disappointed, because Sister Gion already gave birth to two children!
"How disgusting! It's a joke!"
"There's something even more disgusting that you haven't seen yet. I'll tell you tonight, or you'll have to change your clothes again!"
