"There should be quite a few unconscious animals on this island. Let's send some people to bring them back as food. The warships will anchor, rest for a few days, and then set sail again. I'm going to have some fun with Vic! Hahaha!"
Garp seemed pleased to be back on the warship, tossing the eye-rolling Vic and the lightning-sparking Thunder Drum directly onto the deck before giving orders to the marines.
" Vice Admiral Garp! How could you beat Vic like this? His eyes are rolling back!" Rebecca complained, holding Vic in her arms with a pained expression. This was the first time she had seen Vic's eyes roll back, and she had thought Vic was seriously injured. She even blamed Garp for damaging Vic, wondering what would happen if he couldn't be used anymore.
"This is special training. It's better for him to faint here than at the hands of the enemy. He'll probably do this for the next few days. He'll get used to it. It's nothing serious; he's just passed out. He'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Garp looked at the Thunder Drum slowly approaching Vic on the ground and said nonchalantly. Although he didn't say it, he already regarded Vic as his second disciple and was teaching him. His first disciple was Aokiji, who had already graduated.
For the next few days, Vic lived in misery. The island was riddled with holes, and he was taken back by Garp every day with his eyes rolling back in his head.
He doesn't possess Conqueror's Haki, so it's impossible for him to learn it like King Luffy after Conqueror's Coating a few attacks. It's like reading; if you don't even know the words, how can you suddenly become a well-written writer?
You can't build a skyscraper without a foundation. It's not that he lacks learning talent; the main problem is that his Conqueror's Haki hasn't Awakening yet. Just thinking about those kids who Awakening Conqueror's Haki Vic such a young age gives him a headache. Why? Why?
Warships can't stay in one place for that long, and a powerful figure like Garp can't be idle like that. Letting Vic adapt to the Conqueror's Coating is something he's doing by squeezing in time. When they encounter a deserted island, Garp will take Vic to train for a few days.
The others on the warship were also busy, diligently cultivating, especially Rebecca and her group, who faced even greater pressure and put in even more effort.
That day, the warship docked at a bustling island for resupply. Rebecca and Wendy went shopping on the island, while Barnett and Frodeku were conscripted to work as porters.
Vic didn't go; instead, he sat cross-legged on the deck meditating. After the old man's training over this Conqueror's Coating, he had some ideas about the Binding Technique and was working out countermeasures. So even though Rebecca begged him, he didn't wander around the island. Ain, since Vic didn't go, didn't go either; she just stayed a short distance away with Vic.
" Vice Admiral Garp! Rear Admiral Vic! It's terrible! Colonel Rebecca and the others have all been captured by pirates! You must go check on them!"
Just as Vic was lost in meditation, an anxious shout startled him awake. Normally, he would block out external sounds during meditation, but this time he heard a crucial name, which made it impossible for him to continue. Ain's little face was also full of worry.
Garp was also surprised that someone had managed to capture Rebecca, who possessed the Float-Float Fruit, in the first half of the Grand Line, and that she had been captured along with Barnett and the others!
These individuals combined are formidable; many pirate crews in the New World might not be able to match them. They are all beings who Awakening Haki, although only Rebecca Awakening both types of Haki.
However, most pirates in the New World are only proficient in one skill. He suspected that perhaps a pirate crew from the New World had returned to Paradise and happened to stop at this island.
"Go! My challenge was interrupted because of you, and it cannot stop now."
Garp and Vic exchanged a glance and said that he had no intention of going, then started eating senbei.
Vic didn't answer, but simply nodded and vanished from the deck in a Inazuma.
When Vic first regained consciousness, he was a little worried. He knew Rebecca's strength very well; she had already reached the level of Headquarters Vice Admiral, but was still a colonel because of her military achievements.
The Grand Line is complex; you never know where a powerful figure might be lurking, just like Mantis, whom they encountered before, who was a former executive of Rocks.
This made him anxious, but seeing the old man's calm and indifferent expression, he felt a little relieved. However, he still rushed over immediately to see what was going on.
On the bustling street, a crowd of people were watching a commotion outside a shop. Two men and two women were bound to the ground by thick chains and were sitting there under the scrutiny of the crowd. The two women looked as if they had suffered a great humiliation, their faces filled with resentment. The two men were a little better off, with only bitter smiles on their faces.
"Fufufufu! Are you guys from the Navy? You're too weak, aren't you? Just some rookie Navy newbies?"
A pirate with a long nose and split hair resembling ram's horns looked smug. His face was so ugly it was hard to find a way to compliment him. If you had to say something, he looked ridiculous. He lacked the dignified air of a pirate captain and looked like a goofball. So the people who were captured felt incredibly humiliated to be caught by such a person.
"You scoundrel with the forked hair, you have no sportsmanship! You ambushed us! If you've got the guts, let us go and come at me again. I'll beat you to a pulp! You're driving me crazy!"
The bound Red-Hair girl was very embarrassed and angry, but a sly glint was hidden in her eyes. Although Aizen had been taken from her waist, the sword case on her back was still there.
The sword case was made by Vic with great care; when it was not opened, not even a seam could be seen. It wouldn't be wrong to mistake it for a block of wood; the problem was probably its brain.
Barnett's Kogarashi, Wendy's Oto, and Frodeku's Lunar Eclipse were all confiscated. There was no way around it; the opponent was an esper, and his ability was too abnormal. He captured them all in one move.
"Sorry! It's my fault for having a forked haircut! Pfft! Who are you calling a forked haircut? I'm super handsome, do you think I'm stupid? If you get caught, just behave yourself, I won't be fooled, hee hee hee!"
Foxy couldn't stand being called "forked head" or "groove head" by others; it would make him extremely self-conscious and depressed. However, he would quickly recover. Perhaps because people kept talking about his head shape, this problem became more severe more than a decade later. He couldn't stand it at all and needed comforting from others to feel better.
Yes, the pirate crew that captured Rebecca and the others was the Foxy Pirates. Rebecca and the others were captured after being immobilized by Foxy's Noro Noro Beam.
The speed was incredible. The moment the light was frozen, his henchmen rushed forward with chains and quickly bound them tightly in less than ten seconds. Their skill was impeccable, showing they had worked together extensively beforehand. Rebecca and her companions didn't even have time to react.
