"how's it going?"
At the end of the town alley, several pirates who were waiting there, upon seeing the middle-aged man returning, immediately approached him and asked.
"That guy didn't fall for it."
The man hammered the wall beside him angrily, and a huge fist mark suddenly appeared above it.
"Damn it! That little girl almost killed Leo, but the Thunder General remained indifferent. Does he deserve the title of 'savior of the world' as the magazine said?"
The expression on his face could not be more indignant than when he thought of Vivian's "groveling" appearance in front of the Celestial Dragons just now, he became so angry that he felt that all his previous admiration had been wasted.
"I really misjudged that guy."
He continued through gritted teeth.
Yes, that's right.
This pirate, who looks to be in his early forties, is also a die-hard fan of Vivian. He is a pirate with a bounty of 970 million berries, Halifax Darren.
He has no fruit ability, is good at using dual swords, and is nicknamed the Two-Sword Ghost Swordsman. He is one of the few pirate warriors in the New World who is famous for his swordsmanship alone.
So the question is, why did Darren appear on this island
He naturally came here to hunt down the Celestial Dragons.
I don't know who released the news a few days ago, saying that the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land would come to the nearby waters to play. Darren, who learned about this for the first time, immediately brought his crew members and ambushed on the island in advance.
And sure enough, they really did see them.
But even though he had encountered it, Darren was extremely excited to see that the navy officer escorting the Celestial Dragons was none other than his idol, the Thunder Swordsman Vivian. He and his crew came up with a way to have the best of both worlds.
That is to deliberately provoke the Celestial Dragons, make them do stupid things, and then let Vivian kill the Celestial Dragons.
In this way, Vivian, whom he admired, would not have to stay in the Navy anymore. After all, it would be a pity for such a truly indifferent and righteous hero to work under the World Government.
And similarly, before the incident happened, Darren could not be more confident. He was sure that his idol Vivian would unconditionally choose to help when he saw the little girl being killed by the Celestial Dragons. But who knew...
That guy actually chose to endure it for his own benefit
Is this still the fearless and brave Thunder Swordsman, Vivian, whom he admired
The Vivian portrayed in the magazine is clearly fearless. Even if a knife is placed on her neck and she could die at any time, she would never frown or blink.
But now..
Whenever he recalled the way Vivian smiled and nodded in front of the female celestial dragon, he became so angry that his previous admiration and appreciation turned into anger at this moment.
Darren felt cheated, so he reached out and took out the latest issue of "Biography of Thunder Swordsman" from his arms, tore it into pieces in no time, and then threw it into the sky, saying, "From today on, Thunder General Vivian is no longer my idol, Halifax Darren. If you meet that guy in the future, just go ahead and do it, don't give me face."
Crew members: "..."
Wait, Captain Darren, did you misunderstand something
Is it possible that the reason we don't dare to attack Vivian when we meet him is not because we are giving you face, but because we can't beat him
After all, he is a general-level figure. If we really meet him and attack him, wouldn't it be no different from committing suicide
Everyone thought so in their hearts.
At the same time.
"Captain, we are back."
The person who spoke was the woman who had just kneeled on the ground, holding her child and crying.
At this moment, she was still holding the little girl's hand, but the difference was that the kind expression on her face was gone, replaced by endless indifference and irritability.
"I spent so much time acting, but that guy named Vivian didn't do anything in the end. I don't think he had any intention of attacking the Celestial Dragons from the beginning. I was wondering, how could a navy dare to disobey the Celestial Dragons? In the final analysis, he is just like other navy soldiers, a pure lackey of the Celestial Dragons..."
The woman complained very dissatisfiedly.
At the side, the little girl she was holding raised her head with a confused look on her face and looked at everyone, as if she had no idea what everyone was talking about.
"Come, Xiaokui, come to me."
Darren clapped his hands, smiled and walked forward to the little girl with his arms open.
Seeing this, the little girl responded crisply, then trotted forward excitedly and threw herself into Darren's arms.
"Good boy, did you do what your uncle told you just now?"
"Um."
The little girl nodded and continued, "I got the aunt's skirt stained with mud, but then I remembered that brother Darren said that if there was only a 'pattern' on one side, the aunt might not like it, so I also got the other side of her skirt stained with mud."
“That’s great.”
Darren reached out and scratched the little girl's nose when he heard that.
The young woman couldn't help but sneer when she saw this and said, "Captain, you deliberately let this child provoke the Celestial Dragons. Did you know in advance that Vivian has the ability of the fruit to heal diseases and save lives? If that guy didn't have this ability, this child would have turned into a corpse a long time ago."
"A body?"
Darren grinned and laughed to himself. "Of course I have learned from the biography of the Thunder Swordsman that Vivian has the ability to heal people's injuries. But taking a step back, even if Vivian didn't heal the child, it doesn't matter. After all, it wasn't us who killed him, but the Celestial Dragons."
"In this way, we have a legitimate reason to kill the Celestial Dragons, right?"
"A legitimate reason?"
The woman curled her lips when she heard this, thinking, do we need a legitimate reason to kill the Celestial Dragon
Didn't those guys deserve to die
"So do we still have to kill that Celestial Dragon now?" she asked.
"Of course I have to do it. This is the first big thing I have to accomplish after entering the new world."
In order to make his name as the Dual Swordsman famous on this day, he had been preparing for who knows how long. How could he miss such a great opportunity
"But we have to wait until Vivian leaves before we take action."
It is one thing to stop being a fan, but it is another to respect their strength.
After all, he wasn't stupid enough to challenge the strength of the admiral of the navy.
