"Of course." Patri Vic replied with an easy smile.
After all, he was an officer of the Rocks Pirates. Rocks wouldn't refuse such a small request.
"I'm entrusting my nephew to you from now on," Sukiyaki suddenly said, leaning against the wall.
"I've never treated a useful person unfairly," Patri Vic replied with a nod.
"Then I can rest easy." Sukiyaki slowly let out a breath.
Patri Vic returned to the Rocks Pirates with Oden.
By then, many of the officers were waiting on the shore for them.
Patri Vic walked up to Rocks and got straight to the point.
"Captain, let's plant a flag in Wano Country."
Rocks glanced at Patri Vic, then ordered one of his officers, "Bring out one of the spare flags from the ship."
Patri Vic was extremely important to Rocks.
As long as a request wasn't too unreasonable, Rocks would agree without hesitation.
Planting a flag to protect Wano Country through the Rocks Pirates' reputation was a trivial matter to him.
"Yes, Captain Rocks!"
The officer returned to the ship and brought out a flag bearing the Rocks Pirates' insignia, then handed it to Patri Vic.
"Take it and plant it in Wano Country. No pirates will dare to trespass after that," he said, handing the flag to Oden.
Planting the Rocks Pirates' flag in Wano Country meant that this territory would henceforth be under their protection.
As long as Rocks was alive, who would dare to trespass in Wano Country?
"Thank you, Lord Vic!" Oden said excitedly, clutching the flag.
He rushed into Wano Country and planted it. After a brief farewell to his father, Sukiyaki, he returned to Patri Vic's side.
"Let's go," Rocks said.
The Rocks Pirates' officers and crew boarded the ship and set sail, leaving Wano Country behind.
