The Lao San's Observation Haki had been keeping a close eye on what was happening here. He knew that the Lao Si was at a disadvantage and was being beaten. He figured that his arrival wouldn't make a difference. The only difference between him and the Lao Si was that the fourth brother had Observation Haki Observation Haki, while the other side clearly did.
But he had no choice; he dared not not come. Even if the truth about this place were to be exposed, it would only be after their deaths. Their lives were utterly insignificant to the truth on the island.
Fighting with all his might might save his life, but thinking of surrendering to save his life? He wasn't as naive as the Lao Si, who really thought that revealing his backer would save his life? Maybe they would be killed by their own backers in the end. Haven't they done enough murder to cover up their crimes? They've been involved in them before.
The Lao San hasn't given up hope yet. After all, he's had the privilege of witnessing Boss Ling's strength firsthand, and he finds it hard to believe that a mere naval trainee could be that powerful. That kind of expert being a recruit? Are you kidding me? Has the Navy's formidable fighting force become so saturated?
But he couldn't understand Garp's thought process at all; he insisted that Vic go through everything that was supposed to happen.
Vic had previously suspected that perhaps the old man had been too hasty in something in the past, and something had happened that he regretted. That's why Vic old man was taking this matter with more seriousness.
Start from the basics, rehearse everything you've ever experienced on Vic, and see what the final result will be. And that person might be the old man's own son, Monkey D. Dragon.
Monkey D. Dragon is a kind-hearted person who opposes war and has exceptional talent. After being brought to the Navy by Garp, he performed outstandingly and was thus promoted exceptionally.
He didn't receive the comprehensive basic education that the navy provides; what they call basic education is actually just the brainwashing of their henchman groups by the World Government.
Therefore, Dragon's loyalty to the Navy was completely insufficient. Moreover, his high position allowed him to witness many of the darker aspects of the world. The kind-hearted Dragon resolutely decided to leave the Navy and prepare to pursue the truth of the world.
During this time, he established a rebel army, and after Ohara was destroyed by the Buster Call, he went to the site to mourn Dr. Clover, where he also encountered Vegapunk, who was there to mourn as well.
After this incident, Dragon, along with Kuma and Ivankov, founded the Revolutionary Army. His subsequent actions made him the World Government's number one enemy, and he was called the world's most vicious criminal by the World Government.
Vic guessed that Garp might have been affected by his son's defection from the Navy, so he decided to see what would happen if he received a basic education.
When Vic thought of this reason, he was still speechless. Everyone is an individual, and there are very few people whose thoughts can completely collide. This kind of operation doesn't prove anything at all.
The will of a strong person is not easily swayed. Does he intend to test it on himself and then use it on Ace and Luffy? That's a bit too much of a stubbornness. So Vic had no objection. Let's do it your way, old man. Anyway, the improvement of his combat power has nothing to do with his status. There are still more than ten years before the start of the story, so it won't affect anything.
Therefore, the fact that there is a character here who completely surprised the Lao San is entirely due to the actions of the Marine Garp the Hero.
If Garp knew about this, he would laugh out loud, praising himself for doing a great job, and would definitely run to Sengoku to steal a few bags of senbei.
A short while later, the Lao San arrived with his men. He was also dressed in a black suit and top hat, and his appearance was very ordinary; he would not stand out in the crowd.
He had a mustache and looked much older than the Lao Si. He wasn't as tall as the Lao Si, but his eyes were very bright. He wasn't carrying any weapons and looked like an ordinary person.
The henchmen behind the Lao San seemed to have received prior orders. Upon arriving, they surrounded everyone and pointed their spears at Vic and his group, then remained motionless as if awaiting further instructions.
" Lao San! You're finally here! I've been waiting forever! If you hadn't come, I would have been beaten to death!"
The Lao Si looked aggrieved, pointing to the Flower Field he had destroyed, then to his dirty face with blood still on his nose.
That expression was exactly like the look on a wife's face when she was forcibly held down after playing cards and then saw her husband arrive. It was truly a sight to behold.
But this scene made Rebecca's eyebrows twitch, and she almost couldn't resist rushing forward to kill the Lao Si. Although she didn't know what this expression meant, she just vaguely felt that it was not serious, and the feeling of wanting to kill the Lao Si was too strong.
Ain almost thought that she and her group were the bad guys, but thankfully that thought only flashed through her mind like a shooting star. Then, the idea that " Vic is justice, and whatever he does is right" quickly took over her mind. She then hugged Vic's neck, rested her head on Vic's firm chest, and cleared her mind.
The Lao San had been staring at Vic ever since he arrived, and he noticed the three knives at Vic's waist. His eyes were very serious, but the Lao Si's actions interrupted his thoughts, and dark lines appeared on his forehead.
The Lao Si used to be a perfectly normal person, ruthless and with a ferocious face. How did he become like this today? Did he develop some strange personality trait from being beaten?
Is this the effect of being beaten too much? Should I just surrender? The Lao San thought to himself, glancing at the Lao Si again, a chill ran down his spine, and he quickly took two steps away from the Lao Si.
" Lao San! What do you mean? Do you know how I've been waiting all day? All I did was confide in you, and this is how you treat me? After working together for so many years, don't you have any camaraderie at all?"
The Lao Si was stunned by the Lao San's actions. After regaining his senses, he became angry. This was the third brother's way of showing disdain for him. He was already wronged enough, and now he felt even more wronged.
"Ahem! Lao Si, I didn't mean it, it was just a subconscious reaction. I know you always get beaten up, but I didn't know that being beaten up could change a person's personality. I was so ignorant, I apologize!"
The Lao San felt a little guilty about his actions. The Lao Si had already been beaten up like this; hadn't his behavior just exacerbated his psychological trauma? That was really wrong of him!
The Lao Si was even more annoyed. "You, the Lao San, have no sincerity at all. Did you even make up an apology on the spot? It completely missed the mark and was just a perfunctory attempt to appease me!"
The Lao Si didn't want to talk anymore. He had just seen Rebecca's eyes fixed on the Lao San. He figured the Lao San would probably get a friendly greeting from the girl's feet, or maybe even get stabbed. Thinking about this, the Lao Si calmed down and stopped paying attention to the Lao San, waiting to watch the show.
"You brought so many cannon fodder again? Don't you know all the people he brought are dead? Never learn!"
After the scene quieted down, Vic said calmly that these people were just cannon fodder in his eyes. Although he didn't have the convenient abilities of Conqueror's Haki, it wouldn't take him any trouble to take them all out in a short time.
He knew that the Lao San had Observation Haki, and he should have sensed that the third brother had quickly taken down two groups of people. Yet he still brought these people over. It was obvious that he had brought them here to die. Vic didn't understand. Was this how gangsters operated? That's why he asked this question.
