Pirates of the Peak

Chapter 1023: Calculating

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Without Vic providing the text on the fourth signpost, the Straw Hat Pirates are still wandering in the first half of the Grand Line!

They sailed through all the seven routes in the first half, and even a lot of the New World's territory was occupied by Kidd and Law. Who made them never return to the New World? The little brothers recruited by Drosrosa could not stop Law and Kidd's intentional occupation!

Eight years after gaining the ability to teleport, Vic finally comprehended the laws of space. Compared with the laws of thunder and lightning and the laws of speed and slowness, this was already very fast!

Such speed has a lot to do with the fact that Vic is already a powerful god-level warrior. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Moreover, the development has been directed towards the laws of space from the very beginning, without taking any detours, so speed is inevitable!

Just wait for Vic to have a flash of inspiration and then the law of space will be perfected!

On the other hand, Luffy, Yamato, Ace and Nami are still on the road to comprehending the laws. Even for Nami, who is chased by God to feed her, three or four years are not enough for her to develop!

No matter how good one's talent is, there should be a limit. There are indeed people who can achieve enlightenment overnight, but before they achieve enlightenment, they have spent a lot of time studying, so even comprehending the laws cannot be achieved overnight!

Victor estimates that in a few years, Nami will be the first person to break through to the realm of God. Even Luffy without combat assistance will be far behind!

Following closely behind should be Dragon and Aokiji. Dragon knows the truth about the Realm of God, so he is more urgent!

Aokiji has been listening to Vic's advice and has been improving his freezing ability. After seeing how powerful Im is, he will not slack off anymore, but time is still too short and he is not young anymore!

As for the others on the sea? They just felt that the Grand Line had become much calmer in the past few years. It was no longer as chaotic and wild as it was when Roger and Whitebeard died!

But they don’t know that this is just the calm before the storm. In fact, beneath the calm sea, a huge war that can sweep the entire world is brewing. When the waves of the times fall on them, it will be enough to crush them to pieces!

"Hey! Luffy! Why are you calling me at this hour?"

Wick woke up from his contemplation of the laws, and was awakened by a call from Luffy. In the past three years, Luffy almost turned the first half of the Grand Line upside down!

Victor guessed that Luffy was about to cause trouble in the New World. It was because they caused such a big commotion that Im and the World Government stopped bothering him, the Sun God Nika!

Knowing that the Straw Hat Boy hasn't found the fourth signpost, then he poses no threat. His ability is just the awakening of the fruit. As long as he doesn't break through to the realm of the God of Law, Im really doesn't care about this half-finished Sun God!

"Vic! I found the fourth signpost, the historical text. I can go to Raftel, hahahaha!"

"What did you say?"

Just when Victor was wondering what Luffy wanted to do by calling, the voice coming from the phone shocked Victor and he began to wonder if he was hallucinating.

What did he hear? Luffy actually said he found the fourth signpost? Is that even possible? Wasn't it destroyed by Roger and Oden? Why did it suddenly reappear?

Does this make sense? You went to all that trouble to hide the fourth signpost on Redhead's back, just to trick me, Vic, now? Are you treating me like Im?

Vic now strongly suspects that the tattoo on Red Hair's back and Oden's logbook were prepared by those two guys for the World Government!

With so many people on the Golden Jackson, why did they choose Red Hair, a Celestial Dragon? Couldn't Buggy have done it? Couldn't Rayleigh and the others have done it? If there was really a conspiracy, then it wouldn't work!

Only Red Hair's origin can allow the World Government to obtain this information, and then think that the historical text of the fourth signpost has been destroyed by them, and then enjoy it with peace of mind, and no longer pay attention to the disturbances on the sea!

Anyway, no one can go to Raftel to find out the truth about the blank hundred years, so there is no need to guard it strictly, and then let the real chosen one take advantage of the situation and steal the chicken?

Vic felt like he had walked into a trap for Yim, ruining everyone's plans! Could this be the wings of a butterfly?

Roger and Oden's plan to fish in troubled waters failed, Vic's plan to delay the arrival of the war also failed, and Joy Boy's plan to reveal the truth about the blank hundred years and unite allies to besiege the World Government is likely to be aborted!

Because they can't sneak into Raftel, they will definitely be severely punished by Im, and there will be no time to announce the truth about the blank hundred years to the world!

The only ones who benefited were Im and the World Government. Vic took the bullet for them, but ended up having to bear all the consequences himself. Is this a case of being too clever for one's own good?

"Luffy! Where did you find the fourth signpost?"

Vic regained his dazed mind and asked gravely, "Luffy has almost searched the entire Grand Line, right? He didn't find it earlier or later, but just when his spatial laws were about to be perfected. This is incredible luck! This is too bad!"

Vic had the illusion that God was playing a joke on him, just like Tathagata who was smiling at Monkey King doing somersaults in his palm. It was a bad feeling, very frustrating!

"The mountain behind Rogue Town! I sensed it when I was resupplying in Rogue Town on my way back to the Grand Line from Windmill Village. There was a sword next to the signpost. Zoro said it was a famous supreme sword. It's exactly the same name as Ace's, hahahaha!"

Luffy was very excited. He had been at sea for ten years and now he could finally go to Raftel to fulfill his dream. Just thinking about it made him excited. Even Vic could hear the emotion from Luffy's hearty smile!

"Why are you going back to Windmill Village at this time?"

"The village chief passed away. I went back to see him for the last time. He took good care of me when I was a child!"

Speaking of this, Luffy, who was a little excited, also lowered his voice. When he was a child, he was raised in Windmill Village by Garp. It was always the old village chief and Makino who took care of him, so naturally they had a very good relationship!

However, the old village chief was not young when Luffy was a child. Now Luffy is almost thirty years old. To have survived until now, the old village chief can be considered to have lived a long life!

Wick understood that the old chief of Windmill Village was seriously ill and could not be cured due to excessive drinking. He contacted Luffy through Garp or someone else.

Luffy, grateful for the care he received when he was a child, went straight back to the East China Sea Windmill Village to see him off. Later, when he was returning to the Grand Line to replenish supplies in Rogue Town, he listened to the voices of all things and sensed the breath of the historical text. He then found the fourth signpost and the supreme sword Ace buried in the mountains behind Rogue Town!

Vic could only say that the old village chief's illness came at a very bad time, and no one came to tell him, otherwise he could have helped to rescue him. Not to mention anything else, it would not be a problem for the old village chief to live a few more years!

In the end, no one came looking for him. Did they really think he couldn't save someone who was at the end of his rope? This was too unlucky, too coincidental. It was like fate, blocking his mastery of the Space Law, right?

Victor lamented that he knew that he could no longer stop Luffy from going to Raftel, just like the old man could not stop Luffy from going out to sea as a pirate!

This is Luffy's obsession. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent all these years searching for the Grand Line's landmark. Now that he's found it, you're not letting him go? Luffy is going to go there no matter what. Forcibly stopping him? It's possible that the relationship between the two sides will be strained in the end!

"My condolences, the old village chief has lived to a ripe old age. Also, congratulations on finding the final signpost. Your efforts have not been in vain. Perhaps even the heavens have been moved by you!"

Vic changed his tone and said, what else can be said at this point, all he can do is congratulate Luffy!
