On the sea.
The first night of the voyage.
Vivian was sitting on the deck, setting up a grill and grilling something when Domino suddenly came over, brought a stool and sat next to Vivian and said, "Hey."
"What's wrong?"
Brushing the sauce on his hands, Vivian turned his head and looked at Domino's resentful eyes. His intuition and experience told him that he had probably done something to make Domino angry again, so he quickly kissed the other person on the face.
"Mua!"
Domino, who was suddenly kissed on the cheek, shrank back subconsciously, then quickly covered her face, blushing and looking around, and then slapped Vivian's shoulder hard, "What are you doing? There are a lot of people here."
"It's because there were so many people that we didn't kiss."
Vivian replied, which immediately made Domino's face turn even redder.
"I have something to ask you."
"You ask." Vivian put down the bamboo stick in his hand, sat up straight and looked at Domino.
Seeing this, Domino showed a very satisfied smile on his face, "Let me ask you, the main purpose of your patrol this time is to escort the mermaid princess named Shirahoshi back to Fishman Island?"
"Forehead.."
Vivian was stunned when she heard that, then she reacted and thought to herself, why does Jinbei keep his mouth shut all day long
"Just passing by, passing by." Vivian explained: "Didn't I tell you before in Impel Down that I have an island called Kensangmia, where many people I have rescued live. I plan to go there and take a look."
Actually, although he paid for the construction of the island, he had never been to the island once in all these years.
"Is it really just a stopover?" Domino was still a little skeptical.
However, Vivian hugged her and held her in her arms and sat down. No matter how Domino struggled, she still started to spread her secret sauce on the barbecue.
rear.
A group of naval soldiers watched this scene from a distance, and they all curled their lips, revealing very unhappy expressions.
"Are they always like this?" asked a new sailor.
"Yeah, that's all."
"Yes, you'll get used to it."
The two old navy men who had followed Vivian all the way answered.
But after answering, he couldn't help but sigh subconsciously.
Damn it, he's showing off his love in front of these single guys every day. If he gets really pissed off one day, even if he's a general, they'll draw their swords and give him a couple of cuts.
I was thinking this in my mind, and the next second, I heard a conversation like this:
“It smells so good.”
"What's so fragrant? How can it be as fragrant as you?"
"Hate~~"
Soldiers: "..."
...
Two days later, new world.
Kensangmia Island.
This is a small island located west of the calm sea, 300 nautical miles away from the headquarters.
Covering an area of about 2,000 acres, the originally uninhabited desert island has been continuously reclaimed and rebuilt over the past two years. Today, it has become a large and warm town.
There were about seven or eight thousand people living in the town, almost all of whom were slaves rescued by Vivian in the past two years and soldiers abandoned by the government.
From a distance, one could see more than a dozen men with sabers on their waists standing at the city gate, chatting and laughing as they patrolled back and forth. From their upright postures and the movements of holding their sabers, it was obvious that these men were all former navy officers who had undergone rigorous training at the headquarters.
And when they saw the boat Vivian was on docked at the shore, several people drew their swords at the same time and approached them vigilantly.
"Who is it?"
The man in a white turban was the first to ask.
However, when he saw Vivian walking down from the boat, he immediately put the knife back into the sheath and greeted him excitedly, "General Vivian?!"
"General Vivian, why are you here?"
"Are you here to see us?"
Somehow, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Some civilians who noticed this also rushed out from the city gate, looked at Vivian with surprise, waved their hands and said, "Benefactor!"
"My benefactor, you are finally here!"
Most of the residents came forward and surrounded Vivian.
However, there were also a small number of people who stood far away, showing timid expressions. They never dared to take a step forward. They just stood there watching from a distance, their eyes never leaving Vivian.
"That group of people should be the 'funeral companions' we rescued from the holy land a few days ago, right?" Vivian said.
When they saw the warship that Vivian was on and the many sailors in uniform, they subconsciously felt a sense of rejection. Even though they knew that Vivian was the one who saved them, they did not dare to approach and express their gratitude to Vivian like everyone else.
The navy standing behind Vivian also noticed the existence of this group of people at this time, but most of them just felt that this group of people looked familiar and never thought that they were once navy.
"General Vivian, are these the slaves and civilians you rescued?" a soldier asked.
"Yeah." Vivian nodded.
The next second, the soldiers looked at Vivian with a little more admiration in their eyes.
There is no way. You have to know that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, no one will care about the lives of slaves at all. Although they have always been angry and unwilling about such things, they have never had the courage to resist.
Until now, Vivian has proved with facts that he is indeed a hero worthy of everyone's admiration and love.
"General Vivian..."
"I...I will serve General Vivian till death for my entire life."
“Wuwuwu…”
Some soldiers were so moved that they covered their faces and started crying.
It was not until more than ten minutes later that the temporary mayor of Kensanmia Island, Garlind, came forward and called back the civilians surrounding Vivian, and the situation was finally brought under control.
"General Lei Ting, please come in. We built a new building some time ago, just in case you are willing to come to this island one day."
Garlind, 37 years old this year, made a lot of money doing business at sea in his early years. Later, he was caught by human traffickers while reselling special products at sea. He was sent to an auction and sold to a nobleman as a butler for a mere 500,000 Baileys.
It was not until almost ten years later that he was rescued by Vivian who passed by and regained his freedom.
"Gallinde, I remember you." Vivian greeted him with a smile.
"It is undoubtedly the greatest honor of my life that the Thunder General remembers me."
After saying this, Galind suddenly knelt down, supporting himself with his hands and feet, and hunched his body. He looked at Vivian and said, "If you don't mind, General Thunder, please treat me as your mount and let me take you to your accommodation."
