After landing on the island, the group split up. Rebecca and Olvia went together, while Barnett and Wendy's went shopping together.
Vic was left wandering around alone. Since he had come out to show off, Vic naturally went wherever there were many people. He used his Observation Haki to find the place with the most people and headed there.
When Vic walked down the road without any disguise, he immediately attracted attention. This was the Grand Line, and after two months of brewing, such a big event had already spread far and wide. Few people didn't recognize Vic's face.
The civilians, unaware of the truth, naturally felt fear upon seeing him. After a couple of glances to confirm it was him, they quickly ran away.
The reputation of killing tens of thousands of people is terrifying to ordinary civilians. Some people are already planning to leave the island, fearing that Vic has come here to start a massacre.
Of course, some people were also planning to contact the Navy, which had been searching for Vic at sea. They believed that the Navy would arrive as soon as they received the message.
Of course, the islands on the Grand Line aren't just inhabited by civilians. This is also one of the seven shipping routes, and given that this route is close to the Calm Belt, it's highly likely that Vic was on this route.
Therefore, some pirate crews, bounty hunters, and Underworld informants also gathered here. When they saw Vic, they didn't react like ordinary people.
Some were greedy, some were worshipful, and some even took out Den Den Mushi )... Of course, none of these people on the roadside were big shots; they were all gathering information for their boss.
Now that Vic has actually appeared on the island, their follow-up plans should be put on the agenda, and many people have already left in a hurry.
Vic's Observation Haki could sense these emotions, but he didn't care. A single Conqueror's Haki's Haki move would be enough to instantly kill them. He was more concerned about the leader of these people. There were indeed several conspicuous auras on the island. Vic continued forward without stopping.
Some civilians were terrified, but others, fearless and eager to see what would happen, followed Vic's footsteps. The crowd grew larger and larger, all wanting to see where Vic was going.
During this time, they had seen many bounty hunters come to the island, their purpose obvious. Now that Vic had also arrived, they knew there would definitely be some excitement to watch, and those bounty hunters wouldn't miss this opportunity.
So Vic's group grew larger and larger until Vic entered a tavern where the strongest aura on the island emanated. Vic wanted to see who it was; if they harbored ill intentions towards him, they would be the perfect target for him to establish his authority.
When Vic pushed open the revolving door of the tavern, he found it to be quite lively inside. Almost all the tables were full, and the noise of drinking and playing drinking games was deafening. Vic glanced at the rough men and then fixed his gaze on the tall man in front of the bar.
The aura he had sensed earlier emanated from this man. Vic sized him up; the man was probably in his forties, with short hair, a scar on his eyebrow, and a sharp mustache, which gave him a somewhat imposing air.
The man was wearing only a dark short-sleeved shirt, but it was unbuttoned, revealing his dark chest and abdominal muscles. A flintlock pistol and a long knife were tucked side by side into his belt.
However, the man's behavior made Vic frown slightly, because the man had both arms around a young woman, and his hands, hanging down in front of the two women, were brazenly groping their breasts.
The two women were dressed very plainly, but they didn't dare to move at all in the man's arms. Only their eyes flickered and darted from side to side, filled with pleading and helplessness. When they saw Vic enter, a glint flashed in their eyes, but as if they recognized Vic's identity, the light quickly faded!
The scarred man also saw Vic enter. When he saw Vic's face clearly, he couldn't help but smile, and his grip tightened unconsciously, causing the two girls to groan in pain and tears to stream from their eyes!
When the man saw Vic's gaze fall on his hands, he immediately began to rub them vigorously with a smug look, as if the more Vic cared about something, the more wantonly he wanted to trample on it.
Although Vic has experienced a lot and has become indifferent to things, this person's behavior still caused his attention to waver, and this person even noticed it.
Vic sighed inwardly. This person had no good intentions towards him. He started provoking him as soon as he recognized him. Was this an underestimation of him or an overconfidence in himself? Vic wasn't quite sure!
This person did indeed come for Vic. His nickname is Satan. He is a bounty hunter who has long roamed the New World, hunting down minor pirates for a living.
He dared not touch the great pirates, and he thought the bounties of the small pirates were too low, but he was very interested in the newly appeared Vic, so he specially returned from the New World to the first half.
Vic has appeared in the newspapers quite often and his achievements are dazzling, but he is one of the skeptics. He has always believed that Vic is a relative of the Marine Garp the Hero, and that Garp achieved those achievements, but gave the fame and credit to Vic in order to put Vic in a high position in the navy.
He suspected that Vic 'Vic bounty was because a Celestial Dragons had seen through his abilities, leading Vic to kill the Celestial Dragons in a fit of rage. He believed that Vic 'Vic high bounty was entirely due to killing a Celestial Dragons Celestial Dragons, and that if he had killed one, his bounty would have been just as high.
As for Vic's strength, he estimated it to be around the level of Marine Headquarters Commodore, while the highest bounty he had ever hunted was 500 million Beli, a bounty earned through sheer strength.
Coupled with his mature dual-color Haki and his team of bounty hunters, this is what gave him the confidence to come after Vic.
Vic's entire pirate crew is worth over two billion Beli, making it a highly profitable business worth the trip from the New World. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be the first bounty hunter to encounter Vic.
Even for powerful Pirate Hunter like Satan, the Navy has to turn a blind eye, because after all, they are a force in the fight against pirates.
The Navy could only turn a blind eye to the outrageous things these Pirate Hunter did to civilians. Given that Satan was quite powerful, they were even less likely to say anything, since the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
This is why Satan dared to toy with the two girls so brazenly; he had done it many times before. If Vic hadn't come today, he would have taken the two girls to his hotel to do something with them later.
