Shocked by the sheriff's scream, the townspeople who were clamoring to send Vic to prison and punish him were like ducks with their necks strangled. They looked at the thick tree trunk that grew out of Vic's right hand and the sheriff who was pierced by the tree trunk. Their mouths were wide open and they were so shocked that they could not speak!
"Ssss-"
"Wuwuwu…"
"Ah-what, what's that?!”
"-Tree trunk?!"
"A tree trunk grew out of my hand?!”
" Monsters... Monsters..."
Looking at the thick tree trunk that grew out of Vic's arm and the sheriff who was on the verge of death from being pierced by the tree trunk, the surrounding townspeople were so scared that their faces turned pale. Their eyes widened as they cried out in fear.
Celia was also shocked by the change in Vic's body. Her eyes widened and her frail body trembled slightly.
Even Vic himself was a little stunned. He did not expect to use his Wood Escape ability inadvertently. He looked up at the sheriff who was pierced by the tree trunk. Blood flowed down the tree trunk and splattered all over the ground. The sheriff was already on his last breath and was completely hopeless.
It was Vic's first time killing someone, and he felt a strong sense of discomfort. His entire body trembled slightly, and he felt extremely stifled. He wanted to release it ruthlessly.
" Murder... Murder!!"
"Vic killed the sheriff-"
"Monster, Vic is a monster!!”
The townspeople screamed in horror, causing the slightly confused Vic to immediately wake up.
"It's so noisy! " You bastards, the more I look at you, the angrier I get." Suppressing the frustration and nervousness in his heart, Vic roared at the screaming townspeople. He controlled the thick tree trunk in his right hand and threw the sheriff's corpse far away.
Whoosh!
Bang!
The sheriff's body smashed heavily against the wall across the street.
" Uh--" Frightened by Vic's bloodthirsty methods, the originally screaming townspeople suddenly shut their mouths, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Vic.
Vic threw the sheriff's corpse away. He felt that he was able to use his Wood Escape ability very smoothly. The thick tree trunk growing out of his right arm was as flexible as an extension of his arm. It was a wonderful feeling.
The new discovery made Vic temporarily forget the discomfort he felt from killing people. He waved the tree trunk in his right hand and turned to look at the townspeople around him.
" Ah!" Under Vic's gaze, the surrounding townspeople subconsciously retreated in fear.
" Get lost!" Vic waved his right arm and activated his Wood Evasion ability. The tree trunk in his hand instantly became longer and thicker, and Vic swung it at the surrounding townspeople.
Whoosh!
Bang bang-
"Ahhh
"Woah, it hurts-"
"Wu wu…"
The tree trunk that was more than ten meters long and half a meter thick swept down in a circle, and the townspeople around them were instantly sent flying while screaming in pain. In an instant, the area around Vic and Celia became empty, and the streets were filled with wailing figures.
" Vic, your arm-" Celia pointed at the tree trunk growing out of Vic's right arm, her face full of shock.
" This..." Vic raised his right arm that had turned into a tree trunk. The tree trunk that was more than ten meters long fell off Vic's shoulder with a crack, revealing Vic's original right arm." This is what I told you before. The ability of the Devil's Fruit that I obtained. It's a very powerful ability. With it, we won't be bullied by others in the future!”
"Ahahaha, it's so lively! What are you guys doing lying here? Are you rolling around on the ground?"
At this moment, an arrogant laugh suddenly came from afar. Hearing the sound, Vic turned his head and saw a man carrying a long red stick on his shoulder, leading a group of hooligans over.
"-get out of here, bastards, do you want to die?”One of the thugs roughly kicked away a townsfolk who was standing in front of the boss and walked towards Vic.
Seeing this, the other townspeople who were lying on the ground and wailing changed their expressions. They did not care about the injuries from Vic's slap and hurriedly hid to the side.
"Red Stick Gigalu, it's him! That Brutal Hound, Blange's number one subordinate…"
" It's the one who is said to like to torture his opponents to death with an iron rod. Because the iron rod is stained with the blood of the victim, the entire iron rod is dyed red. That's why it's called 'Red Rod.'"
"Pa--"
A tall, muscular man with short yellow hair was holding a red iron rod in his right hand. He tapped it lightly on his palm as he walked towards Vic and the others.
"Hehehe, it was really lively just now! Hey, kid, did you do this?”Gigaru's sturdy body leaned forward slightly and looked straight into Vic's eyes. He raised his iron rod and pointed at the people lying on the ground around him as he asked with a smile.
"Oh? It's you, Gigalu!" Vic looked at Gigalu's familiar face and immediately recognized him after combining his past memories.
This guy was the boss of the hooligans who had severely injured the original Vic. He was also the number one subordinate of the biggest hooligan leader in Kakilia Town, Brutal Hound Blangar-Red Stick Gigalu.
In this way, this guy could be considered to have a grudge against him. After all, those hooligans were his subordinates. As the boss, he should bear the crimes committed by his subordinates!
"Hey, you bastard, do you want to die? How dare you talk to Big Brother Gigalu like this!!”
"-do you want to die? The one standing here was Big Brother Gigalu, the right-hand man of Brutal Hound, Boss Blange!!”
From Vic's tone, they could hear the disdain towards Gigaru. The hooligans below were instantly furious. They all accused Vic of his crimes and fought to show their loyalty to Boss Gigaru.
"Wait, wait, weren't you heavily injured by us? You…How did you recover so quickly?”Suddenly, one of the hooligans shouted in surprise with his eyes wide open. He looked as if he had seen a ghost when he saw Vic jumping around on the street.
"Oh?" Not expecting his subordinate to know this guy, Gigalu immediately stopped talking and looked at Vic with interest.
"How could this be…This weak fellow was almost killed by us back then. How did his injuries recover so quickly?”
As he spoke, the hooligans who had participated in the robbery and beating up Vic all jumped out. Their eyes widened as they looked at Vic in disbelief. They really could not understand why this guy who had almost been beaten to death looked fine now.
" Hehe, you really made me look for you, you damned bastards!"
Looking at the faces that were etched deeply in his memory, Vic laughed in a deep voice, his expression turning extremely evil.
" Vic... Vic..." Looking at Vic, who had suddenly become very unfamiliar, Celia could not help but tug at Vic's clothes in worry. Her eyes looked timidly at the hooligans who had surrounded her with a pitiful look of panic and fear.
" Celia, don't come over. Stand at the back-" Vic didn't give Celia a chance to object. He pushed her behind him and turned to look at the gangsters with a dark smile." Hehe, what a wonderful day!" I met you guys as soon as I left the house, so I didn't have to deal with you one by one!”
“、、、、、、”
Looking at Vic, who had suddenly become different from the cowardly guy from before, the hooligans were stunned at first, but then they burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha…"
"Hahaha, what is this guy talking about?”
"Is this guy's brain damaged? He actually said that he wanted to 'solve' us?"
"Hahahaha, hey hey, is this still that useless Vic? I'm dying of laughter. He actually said that he wanted to attack us? Hahahaha…"
"Tch, what is it? So it's a guy with a brain problem!”From his subordinate's words, Gigalu roughly understood what had happened. It was nothing more than his subordinate beating up this guy called Vic, and then this guy came back for revenge!
