"Well, then quickly check if you brought enough money. Can we eat our fill today? This is a rare delicacy! We only stay a short time at port each time, so we can't leave with any regrets!" Frodeku continued.

"Oh no! I was so careless! I didn't realize the food here was so popular. I spent most of my money on food, it's definitely not enough! What am I going to do?!"

Barnett searched himself thoroughly and said helplessly, "The two of them are quite in sync; they both thought of borrowing money to leave this place."

"That won't do. I have to satisfy my appetite this time. Let's hurry back and get the money. Otherwise, all the food will be sold out by the time we get back."

After saying that, Frodeku pulled Barnett and ran out of the city, as if they were in a hurry to get money back from the warship to get something to eat. Barnett agreed repeatedly and ran after them with the food in hand.

This time, they discovered someone else's secret. If they were ordinary people, they would only have one option: to be silenced. But they are trainees in Elite Camp, so they are better off, as they are capable themselves.

However, Vic also mentioned that there were strong individuals, individuals that even Vic himself believed to be strong and beyond their ability to deal with. If they were unlucky, their lives could be in danger. Therefore, putting on a show was still quite necessary.

"You two did a good job. Someone was already heading your way, but their speed has slowed down, probably because their Observation Haki overheard what you were saying. Keep running at this pace towards the flower field outside the city."

Vic is like a central control system; it can monitor others and command its own people, integrating radar detection and remote command.

But Vic now very curious about when Frodeku became so clever. He and Barnett are working together so well that they've completely intimidated the enemy.

What Vic didn't know was that Frodeku had used his Observation Haki to foresee the Future Sight, knowing that Barnett would eventually steer the conversation towards money. So all he had to do was casually steer the conversation towards money, and Barnett, with his intelligence, could easily smooth things over.

If Vic knew that Frodeku was using his Future Sight here, he would definitely call him a spendthrift. Something that others spend their whole lives trying to obtain, he has turned into a tool to predict what others are going to say next. Many people would be furious if they knew this, because it is a power that they can never control!

"Heh, interesting! Were those two guys telling the truth or lying? They probably didn't know they were being monitored, right? If they were acting, how did they know they were being listened to?"

Although their female companions knew they were being listened to, none of them came over to tell them about it, so the chances of them knowing are slim.

If that's true, that'll be even more interesting. Has he already denied the truth he'd already revealed? But we still can't let you go. Since you're going back to get the money, why not meet up with Lao Si there and wipe them all out in one fell swoop?

The Lao San thought to himself that he wouldn't really let them go just because of those few words. The two of them would pass by the Lao Si's place on their way back, and he could just stop them there. They could communicate with each other using Den Den Mushi ).

The warships were already under close scrutiny when they docked; the authorities knew exactly who were naval personnel and who were genuinely there for sightseeing.

So they all knew that there were groups of naval personnel landing on land. Therefore, when Konan Xiaonan revealed the truth about the island, the Lao Si had already been sent out to carry out the cleanup mission, so the Lao San was not in a hurry.

By this time, Vic had already decided to eliminate this gang. Whether the gang controlled the royal family or was under the royal family's control, he wouldn't let these gang members live.

Because these people control all the children on the island, using kinship to force their parents to work themselves to death, and selling addicted tourists as slaves.

They planted the entire country's arable land with Devil's Flower that destroy the soil.

By controlling all food, they turned ordinary people into tools for making money, leaving them unable to even get a full meal, and everyone's face was pale and sickly.

The long-term cultivation of the Devil's Flower has caused everyone on the island to develop a mild addiction, making it difficult for them to leave!

Many people have even started to eat flower petals as a daily food, becoming lost in the illusion created by flower petals.

All these crimes combined are enough to condemn these people to eternal damnation. In conclusion, even Vic felt a chill in his heart; these people deserve to die a hundred times over!

Vic never considered himself a great person who could redeem everyone and everything.

Many of the things he did were either naval missions, orders from above, or things he encountered himself and would intervene if he couldn't stand them.

When Vic was in the East Blue, he would only deal with pirates he encountered while sailing. He never spent time wandering around the East Blue. A person who would take action against pirates and injustices is a pushover.

Vic pursues the freedom that comes with great power, but as a human being, he also has emotions and a sense of justice.

Today, on this island that symbolizes love, the cruel truth he learned deeply touched him, causing a tremendous tremor in his heart, making it impossible for him to stand idly by. Perhaps this is the humanity that Vic possesses!

After much deliberation, and having delivered all the necessary notifications, Vic's current task is to prepare for a surprise attack from that powerful individual.

He himself is fine, but Rebecca and the others are no match for that man; they will inevitably be seriously injured in the surprise attack.

Vic stood up, gave the women still surrounding him a warm smile, and then turned and walked towards the cabin where Rebecca and the others were.

"You'd better get off this island right now! A battle is about to break out here, and it will be dangerous!"

Vic didn't speak directly; instead, he turned around and used Secret Sound Transmission to inform them, since there were people on the island listening to their conversations, and speaking directly would endanger these tourists.

Wow! So handsome! I can't take it!

"That smile was directed at me; don't flatter yourself."

"I've made up my mind, he's the one I love!"

"You? Skinny as a mantis! He'd want you? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror! Of course he'd prefer someone as strong and muscular as me!"

"It's love at first sight! I want my dad to bring him to me and marry him!"

"Pshaw! You can't get love by force. If it were me, I'd make him my personal slave! Even if I can't have his heart, I'll have his body!"

"Your family is involved in the slave trade, isn't that right? No wonder you have such thoughts. But do you even know who he is before you dared to let your family arrest him? Don't you watch the news?"
