Vic smiled and gave a brief overview, but he didn't go into detail about the many incredible islands. Vic that some of them would be visible when he went out to sea alone in the future.
"This world is truly amazing! There are even islands like Enies Lobby that never sleep. Was our world really created by the Celestial Dragons?"
Rebecca had also heard the saying that the Celestial Dragons were the creators of this world. It was lucky that Vic and his group had never encountered Celestial Dragons, otherwise something unexpected might have happened, since they were all very good-looking.
"History is written by the victors. Why does the World Government strictly prohibit research into that Void Century of history?"
Are they really afraid that others will find powerful Ancient Weapon in history? Of course not! They can simply organize their own research teams and acquire the Ancient Weapon for their own use.
Can historians really recreate Ancient Weapon? Just based on the written records they've left behind?
They're probably afraid that the world will find out what they've done, things that might overturn people's understanding of the World Government World Government and its rule over the world. All we need to do is uphold our own sense of justice, no matter what!
Vic used his Haki Secret Sound Transmission technique to send these words into the minds of the others. Ain didn't have them in his mind; the child was too young, and his words were considered outrageous at this time.
After listening to Vic's words, the group began to think. They weren't stupid; Vic's words were already quite straightforward.
Vic was giving them a heads-up: that Void Century will definitely be exposed in the future, and the World Government will face unprecedented challenges and a massive war will break out. These people shouldn't be deceived by the World Government and blindly rush in to be used as pawns.
" Vic, shall we go to the hot springs together later?"
While the group was pondering, Ain took the opportunity to whisper in Vic's ear that she remembered what Rebecca had mentioned about mixed bathing, and that she felt she was just a child and it shouldn't be a problem to bathe with Vic.
"That won't do. Rebecca and Wendy are here too. They're going to soak in the tub as well. You can go with them; it'll be perfectly safe!" Vic thought Ain was a little scared of the unfamiliar environment, after all, she was still so young.
"Oh!" Although Ain was unwilling, Vic's words made sense. She planned to find an opportunity to go to the hot springs with Vic, so that Vic wouldn't feel comfortable letting her soak alone.
"How did it go?" Vic asked immediately after Barnett returned, and Rebecca and the others also came to their senses.
"The hot springs on this island have a long history, probably several hundred years, and there are several types, each with different functions."
"It does indeed have the function of healing old injuries, and some can also eliminate fatigue and pain. Anyway, it's amazing. We'll see when we go and find out!" Barnett said, sharing the information he had gathered.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to actually have such an amazing function. I'd like to see what the pirates are up to," Vic asked curiously.
"This island is frequently visited by pirates, with a wave coming every two or three days, but most of the people who come here are wealthy nobles and the like."
Most pirates are quite well-behaved on the island; only a few rob wealthy nobles, and some even rob the island's residents.
"Heh, pirates have a greater pursuit of material enjoyment. Why do they rob money? Isn't it all for enjoyment?"
Some enjoy fine wine, some admire beautiful women, some gamble for thrills, and others are ambitious individuals lurking in the shadows.
Only a small portion of them are genuinely seeking freedom and adventure at sea. Those who enjoy gambling and seeking thrills are the most lawless, completely disregarding rules and capable of anything! Vic said with a laugh.
On the warship by the sea, Zephyr stood on the deck looking at the island, his eyes seemingly unfocused, as if he were thinking about something.
"Commander Zephyr, you have a call."
Just then, Zephyr was awakened by a voice and saw the messenger standing beside him with a Den Den Mushi in hand, the call already connected.
The Den Den Mushi) simulates a person's face with a rounded scar, and its mouth is opening and closing as if it's eating something.
Zephyr recognized the image. He took the Den Den Mushi and waved for the messenger to go about his business.
"Moshi Moshi! I am Zephyr."
"Hey! Zephyr, where did you take this year's Elite Camp? I was hoping to get some guidance from Vic on his training! Hahaha!" The voice of the Marine Garp the Hero came through the Den Den Mushi, accompanied by the sound of chewing.
"..."
Zephyr was speechless. "You're just itching to fight, aren't you? If you really can't handle it, go punch a mountain!"
"Oh, I see. It's classified, right? Well, let's not ask about that then. How's Vic been lately? He's been so well-behaved, never causing trouble. I'm itching to punch him, but I can't do anything about it. I guess I'll just have to beat him up sometimes! Hahaha!"
"You're really itching to punch a mountain, aren't you? You're so free! Didn't I just hear you fought Akainu?" Zephyr thought to himself.
The routes of the Elite Camp are classified and not known to ordinary naval personnel, as a precaution.
However, Marine Garp the Hero was clearly not included in this category. Zephyr could have told him about both their personal relationship and Garp's status, but Zephyr still didn't say anything.
It's not a matter of trust, there's absolutely no need for that. Even if I told Garp, he wouldn't come over to join the fun. It's just that Garp's bastard words really angered Zephyr. The veins on his forehead were bulging. What do you mean, "Your fists itch if Vic doesn't cause trouble? You can't feel right unless you're hitting someone?"
" Vic is doing well, and his strength has greatly improved. Even you have to take him seriously!" Zephyr said, suppressing his anger.
"Oh! It hasn't been that long, and you've made progress again. What happened?" A surprised voice came from the Den Den Mushi, and even the chewing sound disappeared.
"Do you remember Dark Mantis?"
"You mean that kid from the Rocks Pirates?"
"Yes, we encountered him on an island this time. Vic fought him, and Mantis was defeated by him!"
"I remember that kid was a rare Zoan user, right? He hasn't shown up for so many years, he must be really strong now, right?"
"Yes, he's very strong. His two Supreme Great Grade Sword- level hand strikes, combined with his Haki, are something my Black Arm might not be able to defend against. But his fight with Vic is a bit special, like he's deliberately honing Vic's skills, which has greatly improved Vic's swordsmanship and willpower! Now he can spar with me for a while."
"Hahaha, it's that move, the Underworld Chill, right? I've seen it before. It almost froze me, but luckily my Haki is strong enough to block most of it."
This guy's not bad, he even knows to help Vic out. You guys arrested him? I didn't see him back in God Valley!
Zephyr was speechless at Garp's words. "You call that ' Haki '? Then am I barely passing? And what about Sakazuki? They're not even passing!"
" Vic didn't choose to capture him; that guy Mantis escaped the Rocks Pirates before God Valley."
After that, he returned to his hometown island, where he silently protected the common people for almost twenty years, never leaving the island and supporting himself as a farmer!
