Chapter 1019: Finding Red Hair to Fulfill the Promise
Two years have passed, and the Straw Hat Pirates have sailed the Grand Line again. They have traveled three of the seven routes in the first half and all three routes in the second half, but there is still no trace of the fourth signpost!
However, quite a few other historical texts were found. Even the historical text that Vic had discovered, which was guarded by a giant ancient robot, was sensed by Luffy. Robin gained a lot this time and has revealed a corner of the blank hundred years!
Although they didn't find the fourth signpost, the Straw Hat Pirates were still very confident and highly recognized Luffy's ability to find the historical text!
Therefore, the Straw Hat Pirates unanimously decided to travel all the remaining four routes in the first half of the Grand Line. Even if they couldn't find the fourth signpost, they could still find other historical texts, which would be a good gain!
"Vic! I've sailed the Grand Line again and found quite a few historical texts, but there's still no trace of the fourth landmark historical text. Do you have any other ideas?"
Vic's peaceful life was once again disrupted by a phone call from Luffy, but Vic had no better advice to give him. Luffy also interrupted his mind from comprehending the laws, so Vic decided to go out for a walk and see his friends and old acquaintances!
The first place he visited was Gion. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, even though Vic had mastered the ability to fold space. They didn't meet often.
Gion had already been wearing the pure gold he gave her. The two of them still had plenty of time to spend together in the future. There was no need to rush. The most important thing was to seize the time to become stronger!
Afterwards, Vic went to the Marine Headquarters for a stroll. Seeing old man Garp was just a superficial visit. He mainly wanted to see the young geniuses that he had placed in the Navy!
What Vic wants is to secretly control the power of the navy. Even though he has exerted important influence on Akainu, most of the middle-level generals still need to listen to him!
Even if the high-ranking navy officers are forced to sign a soul contract by Im, it will not affect Vic's plan. The current officials are not as good as the current managers, and the high-ranking navy officers can be directly sidelined by then!
Vic was very satisfied with his trip to the navy. The people he selected were actually quite talented and had the potential to become vice admirals of the navy headquarters.
In addition, with the spiritual influence he exerted, these people had no bad intentions and only wanted to improve themselves and become generals!
With talent and determination, there's nothing you can't accomplish! Therefore, the navy's mid-level generals, with the exception of the veteran lieutenant generals, were basically replaced by people Vic had planted!
After leaving the navy, Vic went to the Revolutionary Army again. This was the army he chose to be the future manager who would replace the World Government!
Vic is not afraid that these people will eventually become the new Celestial Dragons, because this is a world where the strong are respected. The dignity of the Celestial Dragons is brought about by Im's strength, and the extravagance and parasitic nature of the Celestial Dragons are also caused by Im!
If Vic becomes the one standing behind the World Government, he will not allow the new World Government to become like this. Dare to degenerate? Then go to hell!
The power of the Revolutionary Army is still growing steadily. It's because the current world government has made it impossible for many people to survive. People who can't survive will naturally seek change. A desperate dog will eventually do something desperate!
So some people went out to sea and became pirates, and some were absorbed by the Revolutionary Army and became a new force. Anyway, the Revolutionary Army had the big blood bull Golden Emperor to support it, so it was no problem to feed some people!
What surprised Vic the most was Vegapunk, because he packed up Egghead's research institute intact, which saved Vegapunk a lot of time in setting up the research institute.
Therefore, Vegapunk had already started the training and transformation of Seraphim. Except for the Seraphim without Wick, a group of Seraphim from the other original Seven Warlords of the Sea had already been trained. With this reserve of combat power, it would not be difficult to overthrow the Marine Headquarters!
Moreover, the Seraphim are still being cultivated continuously. Even if the cost is relatively high, the Big Blood Bull can afford it, because the Golden Emperor has seen the hope of overthrowing the Celestial Dragons!
With a considerable number of Seraphim, the World Government's CP agents have enough manpower to deal with them. The only remaining enemies may be the Knights of God, the Five Elders and Im!
"Redhead! I heard you're also looking for the great secret treasure? How's it going? Do you have any clues?"
After leaving the Revolutionary Army, Wick came to the Red Hair Pirates' base. Shanks has also been looking for the whereabouts of the last signpost of historical text in recent years. It is not known whether he wanted to go to Raftel himself or was looking for it for Luffy.
"Vic! Come over and sit down. It's been ages since we've had a drink together!"
"We're just going to join in the fun and find an excuse to go on an adventure. Otherwise, life would be too boring!"
Shanks greeted Vic warmly. Although he had been looking for the last signpost in recent years, he was not particularly active. It seemed as if he was really looking for a reason to take his friends on an adventure!
But with the strength of the Red Hair Pirates, how many places in the New World can they venture to? Saying they're going there for fun might be more plausible!
In the past few years, Shanks has been deliberately avoiding Luffy. The two have never met, and Luffy has never returned the straw hat to Shanks.
According to the agreement between the two, Luffy is now definitely an outstanding pirate, so he should fulfill the original agreement and return the straw hat!
But Shanks didn't want to meet Luffy right now. He had some other ideas. If even the Four Emperors were not considered outstanding, then only the Pirate King could be called outstanding. And Shanks seemed to be waiting for the day when Luffy would find Raftel and become king!
Shanks's actions were a bit confusing, which caused Vic to not dare to tell him about the Realm of God. Originally, Shanks was one of the candidates that Vic believed could break through the Realm of God.
But then Luffy tells him that the leader of the Knights of God looks exactly like Shanks, except he has extra arms!
Although Vic already knew about Shanks's Celestial Dragon origin, he didn't expect that he had a twin brother with a high status among the Celestial Dragons. This was also what made Vic hesitate. However, Vic went to Shanks today because of the original agreement!
Vic walked over to sit next to Shanks, took the barrel cup he handed over, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Shanks took the bottle and quickly filled it up for him again!
"Luffy has been searching for four or five years, sailing the Grand Line three times, and searching all three routes to the New World, but he still has no clue about the last signpost. He asked me about it, and it's giving me a headache too!
"Redhead! You were on Mr. Roger's ship back then, don't you know anything about this?"
Vic stopped drinking and asked Shanks about what happened on the Golden Jackson. If anyone else knew the clue to the last signpost, it must be Roger's crew!
It’s just that these two old guys, Rayleigh and Jabba, are unreliable. They, the right-hand men of the Pirate King, don’t even know about such an important matter. They only know how to drink and play with women. They are useless!
"Back then, Buggy and I were just interns on the ship. We were young, and our minds were all on adventures, battles, and parties. We never paid attention to sailing. Now I really regret it. If I had paid more attention back then, we wouldn't be so clueless now!"
