The room was filled with spring-like passion, so I won't elaborate further. Vic's abilities will prove invaluable; those with rich imaginations can use their own minds to fill in the blanks!
While Vic and Olvia were busy, today's World Economy News had already crossed the ocean and the Red Line and landed in the hands of millions of people.
The news in the newspaper was shocking enough, but seeing the wanted posters interspersed within was even more astonishing, leaving everyone speechless and exclaiming how terrifying it was!
Vic's exorbitant bounty has driven many people crazy; it's hundreds of millions more than even the bounty of the Pirate King Roger! Is attacking Mary Geoise and escaping unscathed harder than becoming the Pirate King?
But the last person to do this, Fisher Tiger, didn't have such a high bounty, did he?
Could it be because they didn't kill the Celestial Dragons?
The news reports of numerous Celestial Dragons deaths raise the question: is this the real reason for Four Emperors 'Vic high bounty?
Isn't it said that harming Celestial Dragons would require the intervention of Marine Admiral? Does that mean an exception will be made when it comes to Vic?
Is it because even Marine Admiral is no match for Vic?
Is Vic using sheer force to break the rules and regulations?
He truly is a new generation legend, even more dazzling than Red-Haired Shanks!
Not only was Vic's bounty poster mixed in with the newspaper, but Sabo's and Cobra's bounties were also among them. Vic didn't see them because Olvia only published his.
Although Sabo and Cobra weren't as high-profile as Vic, they still appeared in the news, albeit briefly, but the bounties were real and substantial.
Sabo, as a member of the Revolutionary Army, has been fighting on the front lines, and his bounty has been on his head for a long time, but this time it has increased significantly!
And the Cobra, the former king of Affiliated Nation, has become a wanted criminal with an initial bounty of over 300 million is truly astonishing!
His crime was actually blasphemy against the Celestial Dragons, and when this news reached Alabasta, it caused an uproar!
The people all know what kind of king Cobra is, and now the World Government has pinned such a crime on him. No one is convinced of this!
However, they simply cannot afford to offend the World Government. The Navy has already landed a large number of ships to control the situation. If it weren't for Igaram and Koza stabilizing the situation, Alabasta would likely have erupted into another riot!
"Daddy! Waaah..."
Vivi also saw Cobra's bounty poster. At that moment, she was with Wapol and Morgans, evading the World Government's pursuit.
Wapol selectively recounted some of the events that occurred while Weiwei was in a coma. Upon seeing her father's bounty poster, Weiwei was overcome with grief and burst into tears!
A king who was diligent in governing and loved his people ended up being wanted by the authorities. Vivi hated the World Government and those five old geezers to the core. Wapol had learned his lesson and kept his distance from her, afraid that she would get agitated and beat him up again.
"This Vic is ridiculous! What time is it? Why is he still sleeping!"
Dragon learned the whole story of the invasion of Mary Geoise from Sabo. His shock had subsided, but he was now in a real bind. He had never expected that there was an old monster who had lived for over 800 years behind the Celestial Dragons, as well as that mysterious man in black robes who had suddenly appeared!
Things were getting more and more complicated and out of control. He wanted to have a good talk with Vic about what happened in Mary Geoise, but Vic rarely answered the phone, and when he did, he would just hear a series of "uh-huhs" and "ahs" before hanging up!
He recognized the voice. He didn't know what Vic's interests were; he seemed like a very serious person, so why would he have such a hobby? But he didn't give up trying to contact him. The matter was too important; he needed to know Vic's opinion!
"You still have the nerve to come back?"
These past few days, Akainu Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters has been extremely annoyed. Fujitora and Ryokugyu have been back from Mary Geoise for several days now. Although their crushing defeat at the hands of Vic didn't make the news, they still reported the truth to Fleet Admiral Akainu upon their return.
How could Akainu not be furious at such a result? This was simply the greatest humiliation in the history of the Navy. Two Marine Admiral were utterly defeated by a Four Emperors pirate in an instant. This had never happened before!
Akainu's face was already as black as fire, practically dripping with lava. Fujitora, on the other hand, remained calm. Losing to Vic wasn't shameful; after all, even Fleet Admiral Akainu had been defeated.
Ryokugyu, however, looked unconvinced, believing that Vic's attack was a sneak attack and that he would definitely not lose in a head-on confrontation. This made Akainu's face darken even more. "Does that mean you're stronger than me, the Fleet Admiral? Well, you can have this Fleet Admiral position then! It's too hot to sit still right now!"
Although Olvia wanted to show Vic his ability to suck up dirt from the ground, she was no match for a man like Vic who had mastered the control of his body to the extreme. In the end, she was the one who would be defeated!
However, I managed to persevere for a whole morning, which is a remarkable achievement. Of course, this is also largely due to my improved willpower. Stronger willpower means being able to endure more, even when I'm about to roll my eyes back, I can still keep going!
"Go prepare lunch, I'm going to call Vegapunk!"
After getting dressed and seeing off Olvia, who had recovered her strength, Vic took out Den Den Mushi and dialed Vegapunk's number. He strongly suspected that the weapon that destroyed the Lulusia Kingdom was Vegapunk's latest Seraphim, and he was now going to confront him!
If this conjecture is true, then the nations and civilians on the high seas are in grave danger, their lives hanging in the balance between Imu and the Five Elders. That's not a scene Vic wants to see!
If it really was a weapon created by Vegapunk, he would definitely destroy it at its source, which is why he made this phone call.
"Moshi moshi! Who is this?"
"It's me! Vic!"
"It's Vic! Is something important? Your tone sounds a bit off!"
"That's a question for you. Are you aware of the major incident a few days ago Lulusia Kingdom disappeared at sea? Is it related to you?"
The disappearance of the Lulusia Kingdom was a huge event, and since it was a completely open country with a large number of people from all walks of life coming and going, the disappearance of the island could not be kept secret at all. It made the headlines of the newspapers the day after the island disappeared!
Many people also linked it to the earthquake the day before, given the close timing and the coincidence.
The discussion and speculation sparked by this news were no less than what Vic did in Mary Geoise, so it was impossible for Vegapunk not to know about it. What Vic really wanted to ask was the latter question: whether it was related to Old Bei!
"I know! That matter did involve me; I'm a sinner!"
"You are indeed a sinner! How could you hand over such a powerful weapon to the Five Elders? Is that weapon called Seraphim?"
"Hmm? Seraphim? No, no, no! Seraphim still in a rapid growth phase. They don't have the power to destroy an island so quickly. It couldn't have been them!"
"What did you say? Not Seraphim? Does that mean... you've developed other weapons of mass destruction?"
"Give them back? Are there Seraphim? Still in their growth stage? Vegapunk! Do you know you're playing with fire? The Lulusia Kingdom is just the beginning! Your sins are immense!"
Vic was furious. He thought the Seraphim was the culprit behind the disappearance of the Lulusia Kingdom, but now, according to Vegapunk, it was caused by another kind of super-powerful weapon!
Vegapunk didn't simply create these powerful weapons unintentionally; he actively aided and abetted evil, creating one after another!
How could Vic not be angry? How could he not be furious? What happened to the promise of being physically in Cao Cao's camp but mentally in Han's? It seems he's completely loyal to Cao Cao, body and soul!
Vic's murderous intent surged; he wanted to go to Vegapunk's research facility right now and humanely annihilate him, along with the facility!
