Chapter 885 Pain and Despair
Chapter 885 Pain and Despair
Taking out a small ball of bronze from the dimensional space, Vic casually refined it into a watch-sized bronze mirror and wore it on his wrist. Next, he was going to assist Fredek and the others in entering the illusion to practice. The small mirror on his wrist could allow Ben to contact him in time if he discovered any situation. After doing this, he stood up and walked towards the base.
Vic quietly pulled all his companions into the illusion, of course! Except for Barrett, in the following time, Rebecca and the others fell into the most desperate and painful trial!
This is the simplest and most effective way to enhance one's will. It can even withstand absolute pain and despair. I can't imagine how strong a will is needed to support it. At this time, death is the greatest mercy!
But there is no such option with Vic. As free and comfortable as Rebecca and the others were before, they are now as desperate and miserable as they are, because they have no idea that this is an illusion. They only think that this is what happened after Vic came back!
One day after Vic came back, the World Government discovered that they remained eternally young and suspected that they had mastered the secret of eternal youth. They came to Vic and asked him to hand it over. Given Vic's personality, he would naturally not agree, so they went to war with the World Government under Vic's leadership!
But the World Government was too powerful, and a group of strong men of Vic's level emerged. Vic knew that he could not win and it would be difficult to end the situation peacefully, so he forcibly burst out with all his combat power to hold back all the strong men and force them to flee separately.
In order to cover them, Vic's body was badly beaten, even worse than Whitebeard's when he was on the top. They all saw this scene, their eyes were bloodshot but there was nothing they could do!
Although everyone seemed to have escaped in the end, only they themselves knew that they were caught not long after they ran. Their opponents were too strong and were completely on a different level. They were suppressed in just a few moves. They didn't know what happened to the others until they were caught!
However, when their pure gold ornaments were taken away and they were tortured and interrogated about the whereabouts of the others, they realized that everyone except themselves had escaped. They were extremely grateful but determined not to betray their companions. In return, they were tortured even more viciously, making their life worse than death.
They endured the pain without saying a word, and they never thought about death. They just held on, thinking only of finding a chance to escape, and come back to avenge Vic after becoming strong, or to avenge other people who might have been caught!
This belief will never change, and it is the driving force that keeps them going. But they don’t know that all of them are going through this process at the same time, because what Vic wants is for all of them to improve and become stronger together!
But that was not the end. While they were suffering, a broken corpse appeared in front of them. The familiar clothes and figure, as well as the remaining half of the face, appeared in their minds day and night during this period. At that moment, they were so desperate that they wanted to commit suicide!
But they couldn't. They wanted to leave hope for revenge for Vic. Even if they couldn't get revenge, they had to bite off a piece of flesh from the Celestial Dragons. They couldn't die now. They had to endure it even if it was painful! This was the roar in their hearts!
However, Vic's corpse was just the beginning. From now on, a familiar corpse would appear in front of them. This was the partner who had escaped before, but now he was lying in front of them with his eyes open. The hatred they carried became heavier and heavier until the last partner died!
The death of their companions, coupled with the physical torture, made them waver several times. Not because they wanted to betray their companions, but because they no longer insisted on living. After torturing themselves several times, they finally survived. Revenge must be taken, and the Celestial Dragons must die. This was the last support in their hearts!
As all their companions died, they became numb, and no matter how the enemy tortured them, they would not even frown. It seemed that the torture was not inflicted on them, or that the pain was transmitted to another dimension.
However, the hatred in them is almost materializing, and their cold eyes seem to be able to freeze the torturers. The only thing left in their hearts is to avenge their companions. Pain and despair are the nourishment for them to make themselves stronger!
……
During the time when Victor was helping everyone strengthen their will, Luffy and his friends had already arrived at Zou, but learned that Sanji was going to marry the daughter of the Four Emperors Big Mom.
At this time, they were not very clear about the hidden truth, but they knew that Sanji must have some difficulties. Even if Sanji really didn't want to be a pirate anymore, he would explain it to them and part ways amicably!
Luffy is such a stubborn person, he must get things clear, this is true for Nami, Robin, and now Sanji, so Luffy divided his troops into two groups, he took Nami, Chopper, Brook, and Pedro and Carrot of the Mink Tribe to the Four Emperors Big Mom's base, Cake Island.
"Luffy! Didn't Vic show up in Dressrosa? Did you see him?"
On the Sunny, Nami asked Luffy in a serious look, and Chopper beside her was listening carefully. This time they were still divided into two groups, and the others had already rushed to Wano Country. Nami knew the news about Vic from the newspaper, and she felt that she had missed it again!
"Did Vic show up in Dressrosa? Why didn't I see him?"
Luffy is very hungry now, he feels listless and speaks weakly.
"It was reported in the newspapers. He also fought against Admiral Fujitora and former Admiral Sengoku. The newspapers said that the Straw Hat Boy was able to escape because the Four Emperors Vic pinned down the admirals. Didn't you notice anything when you escaped?"
The report in the newspaper was in line with Fujitora's wishes, attributing his secret decision to letting the Straw Hat Pirates go to the need to deal with the sudden appearance of the Four Emperors Vic.
On the surface, the situation at that time was indeed like this. Fujitora was chasing the Straw Hat Boy, and suddenly he discovered the Four Emperors Vic who was watching him covetously. The two of them fought for a while, and finally both disappeared.
Reporters speculated that they were afraid that the battle would be too intense and would destroy the island of Dressrosa, so they changed the battlefield. At that time, Wick's side also had former Navy Admiral Aokiji, and Fujitora's side also had former Navy Marshal Sengoku and Chief of Staff Tsuru. Both sides were the strongest of the strong.
If a fight breaks out, the entire Dressrosa will be sunk. This was the reporter's inner speculation, and he also wrote part of the content in the newspaper. So in Nami's opinion, it was Wick who was covering Luffy's escape from the navy's capture!
"There seemed to be a big noise at the time. A meteorite suddenly descended. I thought it was going to hit the island, but it turned into lightning and disappeared. Oh, right... lightning! Is that Vic's ability? It turns out that Vic was there at the time, but it was a pity that I didn't run into him!"
Luffy's reaction was really slow. There were so many people on the ship at that time. Zoro, Robin, Franky, Law and others all recognized that it was Wick's ability. No meteorite could turn into lightning by itself. Only Luffy was screaming and watching the wonder. Now after Nami's reminder, he finally realized something.
"Of course it's him! Robin has recognized him. Our target this time is Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, the most powerful pirates in the New World!
Luffy! Why don't we ask Vic for help? This is an extremely difficult and dangerous operation for us, but he, who is also one of the Four Emperors, can help us get Sanji back with just a word!
Since he appeared in Dressrosa to escort you, he may have been watching you around us all the time. Maybe he can hear you if you shout! "
"Yeah! Luffy! Victor is a very nice guy. He even taught me some medical skills before!"
Nami is sometimes very tough, but sometimes very timid. Her current enemy is the Four Emperors Big Mom. After hearing so many legends, she is really afraid from the bottom of her heart!
But if she really needs to fight to get her partner back, she can overcome her fear and do everything she can to win. This is another rare quality of hers!
