As the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo's IQ is naturally very high.
He could see that Vivian had already seen through his intentions.
He could also hear that Vivian was making a promise to him.
The other party did not want to conflict with the revolutionary army, or did not want to see a large-scale war between the two sides again, so he said such words to himself in order to dissuade himself and stop this willful behavior in time.
Yes, in Sabo's own eyes, his act of ignoring Mr. Long's obstruction and insisting on going to the Navy Headquarters base to search for the Flame-Flame Fruit was indeed willful.
Just like two and a half years ago, Ace, in order to seek justice for Thatch, ignored Whitebeard's obstruction and embarked on the road of revenge alone.
How great would it be if Ace had met someone like Vivian who could stop him at that time
Too bad everything can't go back to that time.
He bowed sincerely to Vivian, put on his hat again, and then without saying anything more, he lay back against the side of the boat.
About two hours later.
The warship landed on an island not far from the G1 headquarters, so the refugees entered the town one by one under the escort of the navy.
Because they were only on patrol, the warship only carried enough food for two to three days. Vivian, who had originally wanted to cook a meal for the refugees, had to give up the idea and instead invited them to a restaurant in the town and treated everyone to a big meal at his own expense.
Then, after having a good meal and a few drinks, they used Den Den Mushi to call a small warship that could carry about 500 people from the headquarters, and ordered Jinbe to be responsible for escorting the refugees back to their hometowns one by one.
Seeing this scene, Sabo's opinion of Vivian changed a little.
Although he still didn't know whether Vivian was worthy of his trust, at least he calmed down because of this.
Standing on the deck of the warship, Sabo and a group of refugees looked at the island that was gradually disappearing from sight. He clasped his hands across his chest, and for a moment his thoughts drifted away into the clouds.
But at this moment, Jinbei suddenly came over and asked Sabo: "Are you the one who was in front of Ace's grave?"
Hearing this, Sabo turned his head to look at Jinpei, then nodded.
The two had actually met more than a year ago.
At that time, Jinbe escaped from Impel Down and went to Ace's grave to pay his respects. He happened to run into Sabo who was sitting in front of the grave in pain.
Sabo lost his memory due to the bombardment of the Celestial Dragons when he was a child. After learning the news of Ace's death some time ago, Sabo finally remembered everything about the Goa Kingdom and Windmill Village.
At first he found it hard to accept and was stuck in a state of self-blame.
He hated himself for forgetting his best brother, and hated himself even more for not being there when Luffy and Ace were fighting in front of the execution platform.
Therefore, he, who had been tortured by guilt for the past year and a half, made such an abnormal decision to sneak out of the organization and go to the Navy Headquarters to steal the Flame-Flame Fruit.
Fortunately, before going to the G1 headquarters, reason finally overcame his inner impulse.
"You are Ace's friend, right?" Jinbei continued, "Actually, Ace and I have been good friends for many years."
Not long after Ace went out to sea, the two of them became close friends because of a battle that lasted for five days and five nights.
"Another friend of Ace..." Sabo muttered to himself.
"Perhaps you hate Colonel Vivian because of the Battle of Marineford, but in fact, he is a very good sailor."
Jinbei said, stretching out his fish paw and patting Sabo's shoulder in a friendly manner: "Go find Father Whitebeard. He may be able to tell you the whole story and the secret hidden in Colonel Vivian."
...
A few days later.
"The bonus has been distributed."
G1 headquarters town.
Domino excitedly appeared at the door of Vivian's house carrying a bag of money.
She had just returned from the base's vault and collected the generous bonus for Vivian for killing the "weird mermaid" Nico Ott a few days ago.
According to the regulations, 30% of the bounty for capturing a pirate will be given as a reward. So with a bounty of 330 million, the money in the bag would be... 99 million Baileys!
Ninety-nine million! Such a huge sum of money is enough to cover her salary in the Impel Down Prison for more than ten years.
"Bonus?"
Vivian sat up from the sofa with a cigar in his mouth. He looked at the oversized money bag carried by Domino's slender body and the excited expression on his face. He couldn't help but feel very funny and said, "You look out of breath. Put down the money bag quickly and have a drink. I will ask someone to distribute the money to the soldiers who participated in the voyage later..."
"oh."
Domino nodded and put the money bag on the ground. Then he immediately reacted and hugged the bag tightly in his arms: "No, you can't give it to them!"
"Why?" Vivian asked.
"You defeated Nicoot alone... No, at most, you three, along with Jinpei and Uncle Issho, defeated him. If you want to divide the prize money, it should be divided among you three. What does it have to do with those soldiers..."
"How can you say that? They also put in a lot of effort in the arrest process... and helped rescue the refugees."
“But…but…”
"No buts."
Vivian walked forward, pulled Domino to sit on the sofa, and was about to give her a couple of hits to make her behave, but at this moment.
"Vivian!"
Outside the door, Ai Li, wearing a navy uniform, also hurriedly ran into the house.
"What's wrong?"
She pulled Ai Li to sit on the sofa and handed her a glass of freshly squeezed juice. After Ai Li had caught her breath and burped, the girl said excitedly, "Lieutenant General He...Lieutenant General He wants you to go to her office. She said that the World Government has a reward for you."
"World Government?"
Vivian raised an eyebrow.
At this critical juncture, what reward should be given to him
He wondered if the credit he gained from finding out Joker's true identity and destroying the underworld had earned him a promotion to colonel.
And at this moment when he was confused.
"I've heard that the superiors seem to have unanimously decided to distribute the devil fruits obtained from the Dressrosa Kingdom to some young navy officers with relatively outstanding strength. Perhaps they also want to give you a devil fruit?"
Vivian:
