"That Dorothea Palace, seems to think she's on holiday."
Looking around, I saw some naval soldiers on the deck starting to talk in low voices.
It was said that Vivian accepted this mission in a hurry. He didn't even have time to inform Fujitora and Jinbei before he went out to sea with Zero from CP0 and Dorothea Palace to investigate clues.
But think about it and it doesn't matter. Isn't it just investigating the murderer who killed Chatun? And with CP0 who is as powerful as a general to assist him, what is there to worry about
Yes, that's right.
Ever since she first met the masked man, Vivian had already felt the "sense of oppression" from this guy, which was no less than that from Kizaru, Green Bull and others.
"Yes, we have to look at her face and serve her like servants along the way. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little tormented..."
Seeing that there was no one around, the other soldier also started to join in.
"We are fine, but General Vivian, can you bear to watch the righteous and kind General Vivian being ordered around by scum like the Celestial Dragons?"
"Why.."
When everyone heard this, they all sighed subconsciously.
At the same time, another marine couldn't help but ask, "What do you think? If we run into the Celestial Dragons doing evil to civilians on the road, given Admiral Vivian's character, will he attack them?"
"I think it's very likely!"
Without even thinking, the navy soldiers who gathered around nodded in agreement, "Given Admiral Vivian's personality, I think he would kill even a god from heaven, let alone a celestial dragon."
There is no exaggeration at all, they really think so.
This also shows the unconditional trust and respect that Vivian's subordinates have for her.
But having said that, after encountering this possibility, everyone couldn't help but become worried from the bottom of their hearts.
General Vivian, what should we do if we really kill the Celestial Dragons
They really don't want such a good person to go against their navy.
At the moment when they were sighing and filled with worry, Vivian was lying in the bedroom, eating an apple comfortably while reading Gordon's newly published "Biography of the Thunder Swordsman".
Hmm..how to put it
This was somewhat beyond Vivian's expectations.
He really didn't expect that the beginning would be like this.
What, you want to know who won the battle between Larverne and Vivian in the magazine
This...
Even though it was ridiculous that these two guys were himself and he was fighting against himself and there had to be a winner, Gordon actually wrote a perfect script for this bizarre story.
In order to abide by his principle as a reporter to only report real events, Gordon did not change the outcome of the battle and let the Thunder Swordsman Vivian defeat the Sharpshooter Larven in the magazine.
But at the same time, he did not tell the audience that it was Vivian who lost.
At the beginning of the magazine, several photos of two people fighting fiercely in the corridor were projected one after another. The scorching fire and dazzling thunder instantly filled the narrow road. Accompanied by a loud bang of swords colliding together, the two were completely swallowed up by the raging thunder and fire.
On the next page, the photo reflected in the magazine became dim, leaving only two vague figures still shuttling back and forth, as if suggesting that the battle between the two was not over yet.
Below the photo at this time was a passage written by Gordon:
"This is the last set of photos I took before I was affected by the lightning. I was not lucky enough to witness who won this battle. When faced with the choice between news material and my life, I was weak and chose the latter without a doubt."
When I turned the page again, the scene in the photo had changed to Vivian lying on the hospital bed on the warship to recuperate.
The following text is still Gordon's own monologue:
"I asked the injured Vivian who won the battle. Vivian just smiled and said, 'He didn't win.' But in my understanding, not winning doesn't mean he lost. Is winning or losing really that important? Perhaps instead of not defeating Larven, he should blame himself more for not capturing that vicious guy and bringing him into Impel Down."
"This is the Thunder Swordsman I have always admired, and he is now the Thunder General. He always puts the people first in his heart. His purpose in catching pirates is just to make the world less criminal and more happy."
This was the final solution Gordon came up with after struggling for almost a month.
Yes, the full text did not violate the principles he set for himself when he first became a reporter, and at the same time it also defended Vivian's "reputation" to a certain extent, even though Vivian herself did not value this reputation very much.
Similarly, after reading this issue of the magazine, fans of Thunder Swordsman all over the world did not ask who would win or lose in the battle between the Sharpshooter and the Thunder Swordsman.
Because everyone knew very well that even if Vivian lost, the young man holding the Blood Demon's long sword and bathed in thunder and fire would still be their idol, and this would not change until the moment he died.
As a result, the sales of this issue of "Biography of the Thunder Swordsman" broke the one million mark, becoming the most peak record in the history of Haiyuanli in the past few hundred years. Even the newspapers reporting the war two and a half years ago only sold six or seven hundred thousand copies.
Vivian's popularity has once again reached an unprecedented level, and the Thunder Swordsman's fans are spread across all major sea areas and all age groups.
As things have developed to this point, just as Monkey D. Dragon had thought at the beginning, Vivian's current momentum has reached the point where everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Once the World Government is really conquered and the Celestial Dragons step down, it seems inevitable that Vivian will be pushed to the throne of the new king.
But at the moment, Vivian doesn't care too much about such things.
because..
As expected, the woman who was equated with white maggots in Vivian's eyes did something right under his nose that made him completely unable to suppress his anger.
Looking at the innocent child lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and amid the extremely shocked expressions of the soldiers under his command, Vivian finally pulled out the blood demon from his waist and walked straight towards the Dorothea Palace...
