As for Gion's state of mind, that was something Vic said to cover up his Armament Haki training. However, once he has mastered Armament Haki, he wouldn't mind exploring new directions. If Vic really does figure it out, then it's quite ingenious that Vic spent so much time to accomplish something that no one else has been able to do!
"I see! This pioneering spirit is truly beyond my reach. Vic, keep it up! I hope I can experience the new direction you've pioneered in my lifetime."
I have a friend who has a very high level of moral character; in order to avoid seeing the ugliness of this world, he cut his own eyes!
He was truly a man who hated evil and would always step in to right wrongs. However, in such a vast world, his strength alone was far too weak. In the end, it was up to our navy to uphold justice!
Tokikake is a straightforward person. He admires Vic's ambition, but he doesn't think Vic can achieve it. After all, each aspect of the Haki is perfected by several generations of people. But he also thought of his friend because of Vic.
"Your friend? Isn't he in the Navy? Shouldn't someone like him be in the Navy? How strong is he?"
Vic already knew who Kaji's friend was from Tokikake words, but Gion didn't. She thought that someone who hated evil should join the Navy, but she was worried about whether a blind person would have the strength to deal with all kinds of pirates.
"Him? He's stronger than me. I've tried to persuade him several times, but he also deeply despises some of the bad apples in the Navy and naturally doesn't want to associate with such people."
The navy is such a large organization, it's impossible for it to be completely clean. There will always be some corners that go unnoticed. He truly can't tolerate even the slightest imperfection. Hopefully, he can learn to be more tolerant in the future! The world won't change because of one person's will!
Tokikake highly values Issho's combat prowess and sense of justice, and has always wanted to recruit him into the Navy. He doesn't care that Issho's combat strength is greater than his own, or that joining the Navy might affect his promotion and position, because Issho's sense of justice is also pure, and no position would prevent him from carrying out his justice.
Vic knew that Yixiao would learn to be more flexible over time, and that stubbornness could only help a limited number of people, while the Navy, as a large platform, could do many more things.
Vic didn't know whether Yixiao was Tokikake things out during the later World Military Draft, but his mindset had definitely changed.
Vic still admires Issho's character. There are several other young and strong men like him in the Navy: Aokiji, Tokikake, Gion, Smoker, and the later Koby.
In the original work, why didn't Akainu promote Tokikake and Gion, the two candidates for Admiral, directly to Admiral after he became Fleet Admiral? Instead, he chose to hold World Military Draft, probably because they were both representatives of the dove faction.
Two of the Three Admirals were doves and one was a centrist, but how could there be no hawks? So Ryokugyu and Fujitora came into being, and the Three Admirals became three factions.
However, the next Three Admirals will most likely be Tokikake, Gion, and Koby, all of whom are doves. At this point, the Navy will be ready to completely redeem itself and will most likely betray the World Government.
This is Vic's analysis of the original plot, but now that he exists as a variable, the Navy can do even better. As long as they can get rid of Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu, they can hide more dovey powerhouses and wait for the last moment to unleash their power!
In that case, Aokiji wouldn't leave the Navy, Aramaki could go wherever he wanted, and Issho could be secretly recruited to his side. That way, he would have four or five Admiral he could trust, and there would only be more over time.
" Vic! Come quick! Come quick, Vic!"
Just as Vic and his two companions were chatting idly on the deck, Rebecca's anxious and helpless voice suddenly rang in their minds. This was the Secret Sound Transmission that Vic had taught her. Rebecca was obviously in trouble on the island, and the distance of Secret Sound Transmission was much farther than that of sound.
Upon hearing the sound, Vic frowned and instantly unleashed his Observation Haki. Then, enraged, Vic transformed into lightning and vanished from the deck.
Gion realized something was wrong and immediately used the Six Powers of Shave. In a few flashes, she disappeared from Tokikake's sight. Tokikake saw that the two of them had left and wanted to go check on them, but then he remembered that there was a large thunderbolt in the cabin, so he gave up the idea and focused on guarding the ship.
Vic quickly reappeared in his true form beside Rebecca, but the scene before him still made Vic's eyes blaze with fury, even more direct and cruel than what he could perceive with his Observation Haki.
A group of burly men with ferocious faces chased and killed women and children throughout the town's streets. They grabbed any young and strong men they saw, and the streets were filled with screams and cries of agony, accompanied by the men's arrogant laughter.
There were many corpses lying on the ground, men, women, and children, but women and children were the most numerous. The ground was stained with blood, and many houses had been set on fire. Some people were still lighting torches. In the distance, a burly man was dragging a young woman into a house, his face full of lewdness!
"Stop!"
With a furious roar, Vic felt that area in his brain throbbing again, trying to break free of its blockage. Vic desperately wanted to kill them all!
However, reason told Vic that this was not a simple matter, because if it were just a simple pirate invasion, killing, and arson, Rebecca and the others would not have stood by and watched, and they even called him over directly, which clearly meant that he was not capable of handling these matters.
Vic's shout was deafening, and many people stopped what they were doing. Some people, however, just glanced at him and were about to continue with their own business when, as if they had just realized something, they turned back to look at Vic and stopped moving.
Perhaps it was because of Vic's face, or perhaps it was the cloak of justice behind Vic that made them take him seriously.
" Rear Admiral Vic! I advise your navy not to get involved in this matter; it's not something you can handle!"
The creators of the Holy Land are short of strong slaves. Making the creators walk the path themselves is the greatest blasphemy against them. If you don't want to lose your positions, take these two brats and leave. And you're just going to let bygones be bygones for injuring several of our companions!
Just as Vic's shout startled everyone, several men dressed in black suits and top hats emerged from a building. Some of them bore obvious injuries. They walked up to Vic and spoke arrogantly.
They recognized Vic, but didn't take Vic seriously. It wasn't because of their strength— Rebecca could take down a whole group by herself—but because their backer was Celestial Dragons, which made them so brazen. Rebecca and her group didn't dare to act rashly for that reason.
