Vic covered his entire body with Armament Haki, drew the Blood Wither from his waist, and wrapped it with Haki as well, quietly waiting for the moment of life and death to arrive!
At this moment, Vic was completely calm, without the fear of impending death, only a powerful fighting spirit rising within him, ready to fight to the death.
After Kaido flew to this land, he reverted to human form, his tall and fierce appearance enough to stop a child from crying.
His attire was similar to that during the Onigashima battle 18 years later, except that he now had a small wound on his right cheek that would occasionally bleed.
The power of Mind Power can also hurt Kaido, but to penetrate deeper is really not easy, otherwise Vic would really be willing to risk everything!
At this moment, Gion also had Little Yellow tow the warship over, and the trainees stood on the deck, nervously watching the two standing there.
" Gion, don't go any further, don't come here, listen to me!" Vic's calm voice rang out.
Vic could, of course, ignore the people on the warship—it wouldn't be shameful to save his own life—but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. If he really escaped this time, he might never find himself again!
Gion's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing Vic's words. He knew that with Vic's speed, he had a good chance of escaping if he had tried his best to run for his life, but he had risked his own for everyone's sake.
Gion hearing Vic's words, Gion couldn't let Vic good intentions go to waste. The warship halted its advance, and she pursed her small lips, staring intently at Vic face was filled with fighting spirit.
"Kid, don't be a navy man in your next life, the darkness there will corrupt you!"
Although Kaido had no liking for the Navy and felt it was too hypocritical, he appreciated Vic's dedication.
Kaido finished speaking, he took out his spiked club " Hassaikai," indicating that he was indeed preparing to use his full strength.
Vic gripped his sword with both hands, ready for battle, and gradually channeled his Mind Power and Sword Qi into the Blood Wither.
"Diamond-shaped Diproton"
" Dragon Slayer "
The two charged forward at lightning speed and collided instantly. The spiked club struck the Blood Wither blade, but the blade, covered in Haki, Mind Power, and Sword Qi, had no effect.
The Blood Wither dried up and broke, but the spiked club continued its momentum, striking Vic's chest. Even the Armament Haki covering his entire body was ineffective.
Vic flew rapidly toward the Red Line. Blood was flowing from his mouth and nose during the flight, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Is this Ryuo?"
"Boom"
With a deafening crash, Vic slammed into the Red Line, creating a massive Red Line -shaped crater.
Vic was deeply embedded in the Red Line, with cracks extending outwards from the red earth around him. Vic was covered in blood, and his two severed, Blood Wither were stuck in the pit, as if in remembrance of his master.
"No!!!"
With a mournful cry, Gion swiftly flew towards the land using Geppo.
Upon landing, Gion drew her sword and charged at Kaido without a word, determined to make Kaido pay the price!
"No... don't... don't... attack him, I... won... the gamble!"
Just then, Gion heard Vic's weak but clear voice. She stopped and turned to fly towards Vic.
Kaido ignored Gion's attack without even blinking, confident that Gion couldn't break through his defenses.
"Kid, live well and witness the coming historical moment!"
Ah, those enchanting ancient times!
Kaido's eyes suddenly narrowed, and after leaving behind a single sentence, he transformed into Azure Dragon and flew away.
What do you know?
Before Vic lost consciousness, a question arose in his mind, and then he completely lost consciousness. He was too badly injured; if it weren't for his good physical condition, he would have really died here.
Gion used Geppo to reach Vic's side, pulled Vic out of the ground, laid him flat on the ground, and checked him over; he was still alive.
He then leaped forward and pulled the Blood Wither sword from the wall, sheathing it.
The warship had already approached, and Barnett rushed over to treat Vic's wounds.
Not far from here on the sea, a light warship is sailing towards the battlefield.
"Have they left?"
"Kid, I hope you're still alive!"
Garp stood at the bow of the ship, his arms wrapped around his knees, gazing solemnly at the sea ahead. He had taken the fastest ship to get here, but now Kaido was gone. What would the outcome be?
The next day, Vic and Kaido made headlines, and their news spread all over the world. However, one of the main characters was already lying in the Marine Headquarters hospital, with Rebecca and Wendy by his side.
Yes, Rebecca woke up. Just as Kaido knocked Vic away, Rebecca sat up with a start.
She woke up as if from a nightmare, her face filled with fear and sadness. After that, Rebecca stayed by Vic's side, never leaving his side!
At this time, Gion was summoned to a meeting to discuss the cause and effect of this incident.
The final decision of the meeting was to increase Kaido's bounty, and for Vic's merit in protecting everyone along the way, the Navy would reward him with some military merits.
After graduation, students can be promoted based on their original assignments with additional military merits. Of course, Gion also deserves credit; at least this time no student fatalities occurred, whereas in the past there have been more or less such incidents.
In the early part of the New World, beside a small island Shrouding the Heavens lush green trees, stood a pirate ship called the Red Voss.
On the deck of the ship, people were drinking and eating meat; they had been there for over a month.
At that moment, Lucky Roux was gnawing on a piece of meat in one hand and reading a newspaper in the other, which he had just bought from News Coo.
He was looking at the front page headline, which showed the scene of Vic splitting the Fire Pillar of fire. The huge Fire Pillar and the massive slash were all displayed on the screen.
The image also features a large headline. "Naval Rookie, Slays Mysterious Creature"
"Hey, Beckman, look at today's paper! The kid who sparred with the boss last time is actually from the Navy!"
Lucky Roux said to Beckman, who was smoking and drinking next to him.
"Oh, really? The Navy has such outstanding young men? They've struck gold!" Beckman tilted his head to look at the newspaper article.
"Our boss is still on the island receiving special training from Senior Rayleigh. I wonder what he'll think if he finds out about this. Our boss helped that Marine, you know!" Lucky Roux added.
"It's alright. With his magnanimity, this is nothing. Even if he finds out, he'll just laugh it off!"
Beckman knows Red-Hair very well. He was impressed by Red-Hair's generosity and magnanimity. Otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn't be able to be the second-in-command. Even if you have Conqueror's Haki, it wouldn't make a difference.
In a sea somewhere in the New World, a group of people are having a banquet on a huge pirate ship that looks like a white whale.
The tall figure seated at the head of the deck was Whitebeard other than Edward Newgate, the " World's Strongest Man," the Emperor of the Sea, who was holding a huge goblet and drinking deeply.
" Pops, here's today's news; there might be something you're interested in!"
Marco, with his pineapple-shaped head, handed the newspaper he had bought that day to Whitebeard, Whitebeard always read his sons' newspapers for free and never paid for them himself.
"Kuralalalala, is there any special news? Let me see."
Whitebeard picked up the newspaper and started reading; the front page news immediately caught his eye.
"When did the Navy produce such a rising star? He can split Kaido's Bolo Breath. With that kind of strength, he could be a captain on my ship. The Navy has been hiding his abilities very well."
"But why did Kaido go to Paradise? He's been missing for so long! We haven't heard from the Beasts Pirates at all. I've had a bad feeling about this all along!" Whitebeard said quietly.
"He fought that Red-Hair kid last time, didn't he? Nobody knew his identity back then, it was like he just appeared out of nowhere. He lost to Red-Hair last time, but it seems like his strength has improved a lot this time!" Marco continued.
"Yes, he's a character like Garp, who can grow into a top-tier powerhouse in a very short time. If you encounter him alone in the future, you must be careful!" Whitebeard added.
Roger, will that moment you speak of ever come? Will the world truly change? Will I live to see that day?
I wish I could live in the world 900 years ago! Are you after me again? For my family, I have nothing to fear!
The Whitebeard put down his newspaper, looked up at the sky, and a few thoughts welled up in his mind.
The New World Totto Land is Charlotte Linlin's territory, but its power is not as great as it would later become, so it cannot be called Totto Land. Otherwise, she would definitely have a place among the Emperor of the Sea.
"Mom, the person you asked us to pay attention to is on the front page of the paper again today. It's a pity, Mom, your wish can't come true. Orens Vic is a Navy man!"
Perospero, with his long tongue lolling out and a newspaper in his hand, spoke to Charlotte Linlin, who was seated in the main seat.
At this time, the Big Mom was not as obese as she would become later, but she was still quite tall; now, one could only say she had gained some weight.
The Big Mom took the newspaper and started reading. Her children below waited quietly. The Big Mom didn't care much for her children; she would readily sacrifice her lifespan.
"Oh my god, what a pity! Such a good son-in-law is gone just like that. But I always feel like he'll come looking for me. Is it fate? Oh my god!" The Big Mom laughed heartily, seemingly not caring at all.
"Mom, it's alright that our son-in-law is gone. Isn't little brother Mont-d'Or of age? We can find him a wife, and then Totto Land can have another tea party!" Perospero suggested with a smile.
"Mom, several of my older brothers don't have wives yet. Let them get married first. I'm still young, I can wait!" Charlotte Mont-d'Or said somewhat fearfully.
"Okay, okay, okay, we'll do as Perospero says. My son can't marry an ordinary person. You can choose carefully from the countries within our territory. I really want to eat that sweet and big cake, okay, okay, okay, okay!"
The Big Mom completely ignored Mont-d'Or; he was already lost in his own fantasy.
"Oh no! Quickly, have someone prepare a cake! Mom's Hunger Pangs is about to kick in!"
Charlotte Katakuri noticed that something was wrong with his mother; he had a feeling that Big Mom was about to have a relapse, and this state was very strange.
