Vivian could certainly understand the calls of petrels.
The "animal language" he obtained from the system when he first met Aili on Albaik Island covered almost all non-human animal species. Therefore, let alone birds, he could even communicate with cicadas clinging to trees.
"The shipwreck is less than a mile away from us?"
After getting the information from the swallow, he knew that the little guys wanted to go over and rescue people by themselves, so he nodded immediately, released the swallow, and shouted to the helmsman on the boat: "Turn, head straight to the southeast!"
"Yes! Colonel Vivian!"
"..."
The other side.
“It’s started again.”
"Yes, there are rumors outside that Colonel Vivian can understand the language of birds and beasts, and can even communicate with all things. Is it true?"
"I can testify that it is true!" An old navy officer could not help but stand up and said, "I have been out to sea with Captain Vivian many times. This is not the first time he has talked to petrels or fish creatures. Every time we follow what he said, we can almost always find civilian ships in distress. Oh, and the pirate ship that was captured last week was also something that Captain Vivian heard about from some flying fish."
"Yes, yes. The last time we captured the Steel Helmet Pirates, we also got the information from Niu Yu..."
“Is this true or false?”
Seeing many people coming out to agree, some of the navy officers who were newly assigned to Vivian's team also opened their mouths wide at this moment and looked at Vivian with the most admiring expressions.
"Is this another new Devil Fruit ability?"
At this time, a new recruit in the navy could not help but say: "I have heard before that the Thunder Swordsman Vivian's fruit ability is special, and it is suspected that he has multiple abilities at the same time. Many people who have studied devil fruits can't guess what kind of fruit Colonel Vivian ate..."
"Is it so scary?"
"Isn't it because it's so unfathomable that it scares many pirates?"
The other navy members continued to echo.
At the moment when they were discussing in a low voice, a sailor in the crowd had already pulled out a mini camera from his pocket and started taking pictures of Vivian, who had changed her posture to take a nap, from an extremely concealed angle.
...
"According to what the bird just described, the shipwreck should be nearby..."
Sitting up from Ellie's lap, Vivian held a pair of binoculars, ate the fruit Domino fed her, and looked out to the sea ahead.
Not long after, a cargo ship with only half of its hull still floating on the sea came into his sight. Seeing many victims climbing on the mast or the edge of the ship, and about to sink into the water with the ship, Vivian immediately pushed away Domino's hand that handed him the orange, and slapped the other person hard on the butt. Amid Domino's very comfortable groan and the confused expressions of the navy, he stepped on the moon step and quickly approached the wrecked ship.
"Help!
”
"Someone come and rescue us!"
The civilians hanging on the boat screamed in surprise. Just when they were about to fall, a figure flew by and lifted up dozens of people in the air in an instant.
When Jinbei, who was on the warship, saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "Have you already used the Armament Haki to such perfection? I am really ashamed of myself..."
"Haha, that kid's progress is indeed astonishingly fast."
Fujitora said as he handed a cup of tea to Jinbei. The two middle-aged men raised their cups and clinked them together at the same time, then began to taste the tea carefully.
"Hurry, help save people!"
The warship quickly docked near the wrecked ship. Except for a few people who had eaten devil fruits, almost all the other navy members were amazing swimmers.
In a short while, many victims who had choked on water were brought back to the deck of the warship by the navy. Looking at the respectable navy uniforms and Vivian's familiar face, the people immediately felt relieved, and the fear they had just felt began to gradually subside.
"What happened? How did you die?" a navy soldier came forward and asked.
"I..we were attacked by a pirate ship during our voyage..."
"Pirate ship?"
The soldiers looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Where is the pirate ship you mentioned? Has it already left?"
"no.."
The man pointed to the seabed below and said, "The pirate ship sank before our merchant ship. It is probably almost at the bottom now..."
Navy:
"Clam?"
"The pirate ship sank faster than your ship?"
"Why?"
Everyone looked at the refugee in confusion, wondering if the two ships had collided while sailing, and was it because your ship was of better quality that it sank more slowly
Then the man answered, "Because... when the pirates were shooting at our ship, a strange man suddenly rushed out and sank the pirate ship with one punch..."
"He sank the pirate ship with one punch?"
Except for Jinbe and Fujitora, everyone else showed surprise again.
"What about that person?"
"It seems to have sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the pirate ship..."
After that, Vivian, walking on the moon steps, brought the twenty or thirty victims back to the warship.
"Reporting to Colonel Vivian, a total of 52 victims have been rescued. In addition... it seems that an unidentified strong man has sunk the pirate ship that attacked the ship in distress with one punch."
"An unidentified strong man?"
Vivian touched his chin when he heard this and was about to ask a few soldiers to dive down and have a look. The next second, the option immediately emerged in his mind.
Option 1: Find a few soldiers to dive in and investigate. (Completion reward: 1 random plane special item)
Option 2: Dive down and check the situation yourself. (Completion reward: random skill experience +20)
Option 3: Let Jinbei dive down to investigate. (Completion reward: random basic attribute +5)
Option 4: Start the boat quickly and turn around to escape. (Completion reward: random basic attribute +1)
"Forehead.."
The rewards this time seem a bit weak.
What you mean is that as long as you don't send any soldiers down, the danger that the last three options can bring to you will be almost minimal, right
I pondered it for a while.
Random skill experience and the like...recently almost all of them are music skills such as piano or violin. In comparison, they should be far less useful than 5 basic attributes, right
So Vivian immediately walked back to Ari and Domino, hugged the two girls in his arms, glanced at Jinbei and said, "Let's go down to the sea and see what's going on."
"Yes, Colonel Vivian!"
