Chapter 847 Beating
"Ban! You are so brave now! You dare to hide such a thing from me?..."
Vic severely reprimanded Ben for concealing the truth and told him that if he did so again, he would not be able to continue living in this world!
Didn't Vic create an intelligence agency just to have timely and accurate intelligence during special periods? If you know the truth but don't report it, it will cause big problems at the critical moment. Vic is very clear that one wrong move will lead to a complete failure. It's not unheard of for a plane crash to be caused by the falling of a screw!
So Vic took this very seriously. He couldn't be careless about intelligence. He wanted to let Ban know his attitude. Don't think that he was easy to talk to and didn't have a ruthless heart. He had planned so much, it was impossible for him to make mistakes in these small things! Even if Ban's original intention was to consider his position, a severe reprimand was still necessary!
As for Rebecca and the others, Vic did not reprimand them, but felt helpless. They were partners and Ben was their subordinates. Their ways of getting along were different, and their mentalities were also different!
One is disobeying orders, which is a sign of disloyalty. Although Rebecca and the others were doing it for his own good and it was out of goodwill between partners, they were the type of people who meant well but ended up with a bad outcome. There is still a difference!
But when you really think about it, Rebecca and the others didn't do anything bad. The title of the Four Emperors is dispensable to Wick. It doesn't matter whether he has it or not. He just finds it troublesome.
So the nature of the two is different. Vic must give Ben a warning to let him know the seriousness of the matter, so that he won't act on his own and ruin Vic's plans in the future!
After Vic finished calling Ben, he put down the newspaper and continued reading. He didn't contact Rebecca and the others, as if he was angry. Chopper next to him looked confused. Finally, he hesitated again and again with Vic's latest bounty order, and still did not show it to Vic. Instead, he quietly left, leaving Vic alone to read it carefully.
……
Inside the power room of the holy land of Mary Joa, the Five Elders were either sitting or standing, their eyes focused on the newspaper and bounty on the coffee table. These were today's newspaper and Vic's latest bounty.
"Vic is too fast. He defeated the alliance that attacked him and took over Whitebeard's territory. Isn't it challenging for him? It's really not worth giving him the title of the Four Emperors!"
A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the bald and bearded Five Elders after he finished speaking. The alliance to attack the Thunder God Pirates was secretly organized by agents sent by their World Government. Victor did not check it out, otherwise it would be easy to find clues.
Although Vic didn't investigate, he guessed that the World Government must have been involved. He just didn't know how much of it was involved. This was not important to Vic. He just had to blame the World Government. However, the Five Elders were still a little unwilling to accept this. Such a large-scale siege was defeated in a few moves. Were those people a mob? A bunch of good-for-nothings!
"Maybe Vic had already negotiated with Whitebeard when he was at the top. Didn't they have a brief conversation? Maybe the condition was to rescue the Fire Fist. Now he should just be collecting his reward. As expected, his ambitions are linked together. When Sengoku invited him to participate in the war at the top, he probably had already planned the path to becoming one of the Four Emperors!"
The long-haired Five Elders analyzed that although it was far from the truth, it was logically self-consistent and very convincing. If you think about it carefully, it does make sense and can connect the events that happened one after another. In this way, Vic is the real big boss behind the scenes, which is in line with the psychological inclinations of the Five Elders.
"Before, I wanted to use the title of the Four Emperors to drive those pirates who wanted to be promoted to the top to challenge Vic, but no one could do it. At that time, they should have known what kind of people the Thunder God Pirates were!
After so many years of recuperation, they have really grown up. We haven't found a chance to kill Vic. Sooner or later, the title of Four Emperors will belong to him. It's just a matter of time. There is no point in talking about this now. Let's think about how to deal with him in the future!"
The Five Blond Elders are more focused on the future and do not want to over-dig into what happened in the past. No matter how much they regret what has already happened, they cannot go back. It would be better for them to focus on the future and work together to see how to eliminate Vic, the villain who offended the Celestial Dragons!
"I heard that Vic and Red Hair have a good relationship. Should we let him take action? If it's him, it should be able to achieve the effect of surprise!"
After thinking for a while, Satan said that the relationship between Vic and Red Hair was no secret, and all the larger forces knew that they had a good relationship. Thinking of someone's crescent moon against his buttocks, Satan couldn't help but think of Shanks and that person, so he came up with this plan. If the plan succeeded, he could get rid of Vic, the thorn in his side. If it failed, he could at least cut off one of that guy's arms, so that he wouldn't continue to threaten his ass.
"Isn't it time for 'him' to take action? The time is not right yet, let's discuss it later!"
The Five Elders wearing glasses and carrying swords shook their heads, obviously seeing through Satan's little thoughts, but they didn't say much.
"If all else fails, let's do it ourselves. We can't count on the Knights of God. Let one person go first to let Vic relax his guard, and then we can teleport the others over. All five of us will have the advantage!"
The long-haired Five Elders suggested that when it comes to a pirate group at the level of the Four Emperors, it would be safe only if all of the Five Elders were deployed. It would also be OK if the entire navy was deployed, but the entire navy could not be deployed as that is their base, and the current navy is in a period of transition and cannot be used at all. So if they really have to take action, only the five of them can take on the task!
"We must obtain Lord Yim's consent before we can act together. Let's keep this for now. Do you have any other plans?"
The five bald elders did not agree with the idea of taking action together. The revolutionary army had been taking frequent actions in recent years, and their actions were obviously targeted. He was worried that after the five of them left the holy land, the revolutionary army would get the news and wipe out Mary Joa in one fell swoop, and that would be the end of them. They could take their time with Vic, and it was not necessary to wipe him out, but nothing could happen to the holy land, this was his consideration.
"I think we should put this matter aside for now. If there is no good solution at the moment, we should wait for the right time. The sea will never remain unchanged!"
The Five Elders with glasses and knives made the final decision. There is indeed no good solution at the moment, but the sea is not calm. The forces of all parties are complicated and come and go. There will always be a time when they can mediate. At that time, they will take advantage of the situation and have the opportunity to stab you in the back!
……
The Red Hair Pirates are currently stationed in Elbaf, the Giant Country in the New World. The news of Wick being officially announced as one of the Four Emperors has also spread here. At this time, Red Hair is holding today's newspaper in his hand and reading it carefully.
"Boss! Vic's bounty has surpassed yours. Should we do something bigger?"
Jesus walked up to Shanks with the bounty order of Vic and asked, seeing that the bounty of this latecomer Vic had reached 40 billion berries, which was more than 5360 million higher than that of his own captain, he felt a little dissatisfied. Why could a pirate who changed his job halfway have a higher bounty than Shanks, his predecessor who had been a pirate since childhood?
The key point is that Vic has not done many sensational events. Why does the World Government have the right to set such a high bounty for Vic? Isn't this bullying an honest person?
And Vic didn't fight for the territory himself. It was Marco who came to him. This really made people feel a little upset. They fought hard to get a little territory, and you took it directly. Who wouldn't be upset? What's the point of our efforts?
So Jesus wanted Shanks to lead them to do something big to increase their followers, no! It was to increase the bounty, at least to suppress Vic, the latecomer, after all, he had been suppressing him before.
"If the new Four Emperors is Vic, then it doesn't matter! With him around, the New World will quickly calm down. But if someone else comes, it will be different. The fight will definitely be long and brutal, and that's not what I want to see! As for the bounty? It doesn't matter to me at all!"
Shanks also has many things that he has not told his friends. He also has his own general direction in mind. As long as the general direction remains unchanged, nothing else is very important.
He believed that the previous war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy had a great impact on his general direction, so he took his companions into battle, but the ending did not change much. Now with the addition of Victor, the general direction is no problem.
What Shanks wants is that the situation in the New World should be more balanced and stable before Luffy grows up, because he is the protector!
As for bounties, Shanks and Wick don't care about them. They can't make a living, and they don't affect their strength. Instead, they are labels that reflect the depth of their crimes, which is a bit annoying for them. They are people who really have their own goals, and the identity of pirates is only temporary!
"Isn't it important?"
"Not important! Let's go have a drink!"
"Oh!"
