Chapter 87:
Victor had long since sensed the arrival of Garp and the Navy with his Mantra. His Mantra was just that ridiculous—and super useful.
However, Victor ignored them and continued fighting Whitebeard. It was rare to have a chance to go all out in battle, so Victor naturally wanted to enjoy it first.
Thus, Victor's Polaris clashed fiercely with Murakumogiri once again.
"Hahaha, this feels great! Whitebeard, come again!" Victor laughed loudly and unleashed multiple "Divine Avoidance" attacks.
For others, Divine Avoidance was an ultimate trump card. But for Victor, he used it like basic attacks.
With his mastery of Conqueror's Haki, he could wrap any part of his body or any object in it. Such terrifying strength—if it were anyone weaker, they'd turn to charcoal in an instant.
But for Whitebeard, it was evenly matched.
"Guhahaha, Victor kid—don't get careless!" Whitebeard laughed boldly.
He had no fear of Victor's attacks—his physique was monstrous, and he was at his peak. Right now, he feared no one.
Immediately after came Whitebeard's Murakumogiri slash infused with Tremor-Tremor Fruit power.
"Bang." "Boom."
With their next clash came a terrifying explosion of destructive power. This small island simply couldn't withstand the damage these two were causing.
The island had already been bombarded once and now lost another layer from the terrifying sword energy and battle aftershocks. The entire island's surface level dropped. And everywhere were craters from tremors and lightning strikes—it felt like the island could sink at any moment.
Immediately after came another violent explosion.
"Hahaha, that's it—keep coming!" Victor was having an absolute blast and didn't want the fight to end so soon.
Polaris in his hands danced into a whirlwind of blade light, flashing brilliantly. Sparks constantly appeared during the battle—no one knew if they were from blade clashes or lightning explosions.
But neither paid attention—they were completely immersed in the fight.
"Guhahaha, Victor kid—bring it on then!" Whitebeard was also thoroughly enjoying the battle and shouted with laughter.
Since Rocks' death, he could only fight Roger to his heart's content. Now Roger was gone, but there was still Victor—the kid who had joined the siege against Rocks at God Valley.
He was truly shocked by Victor's current strength. No helping it—anyone who knew Victor's growth process would marvel at his monstrous talent.
Moreover, Whitebeard could feel Victor's monstrous physique and top-tier body techniques during the fight. It was clear Victor was a true cultivator—no one could underestimate him.
Therefore, Whitebeard wasn't holding back even slightly. Every clash was at full power.
Going all out was respect for a strong opponent, respect for Victor, and respect for himself. Whitebeard guessed Victor felt the same way.
But right now, Victor only felt exhilaration—his entire body was excited. However, he hadn't entered his blood-red amplification state yet.
No need—the battle still wasn't enough to push him there, even though it was so intense. After all, Victor was confident—he wasn't afraid of Whitebeard's combat power.
At the very least, Victor could guarantee his own safety.
The battle continued like this for an entire day. The small island they started on had already been completely sunk.
Now Whitebeard and Victor had moved to another small island and continued fighting. It seemed they wouldn't stop until one emerged victorious.
Whitebeard's pirate crew had already slept once, eaten lunch, and continued watching the distant battle. But they didn't dare get close—they were afraid of dying too.
The aftershocks of their fight were no different from the previous day—even more intense.
"Hey, Marco—when do you think Dad and the others will finish fighting?" "Sigh. This battle is just too terrifying—we can't even get close." "I bet Dad's hungry—hope they end soon so Dad can come back for a meal."
In an instant, the pirates were saying all kinds of things.
"I don't know either—it depends on who has stronger physique and stamina." "Dad's physique is monstrous, but we don't know about Victor's—though it definitely isn't much worse." "So it's hard to say."
Marco couldn't give a conclusion either. He could only hope Whitebeard won.
As more violent explosions kept occurring, soon the new small island was also destroyed by the terrifying destructive power.
Victor didn't care—he found another small island, dragged Whitebeard along, and continued fighting.
Meanwhile, on Garp's side, even Garp couldn't hold back anymore. Such a massive battle scene was extremely rare.
Other than the all-out fight at God Valley, Garp hadn't felt this kind of desperate intensity since. Now seeing Whitebeard and Victor had been fighting for two days, he couldn't stand it anymore.
So he let the warship approach the island, leaped off, and jumped onto the island.
Zephyr, watching this, immediately felt a headache coming on.
"Sigh, this Garp really is unreliable. Can't he just sit back and reap the benefits?" "Forget it—against Whitebeard and Victor, we can't really gain any advantage anyway."
Zephyr sighed helplessly. The Navy could only stay far from the battle and provide backup for Garp from a distance.
Whitebeard's pirate crew also noticed the Navy's presence and immediately became tense.
"Quick, look—Navy's here!" The pirates immediately started shouting.
"First Division—go scout immediately." "Second Division follow behind—we'll stay behind the Second Division. Be ready for battle at any time."
Marco immediately gave orders loudly.
"Yes!" The pirates responded and quickly moved out.
"Be on alert. All soldiers prepare for battle—no firing without orders."
Zephyr and the others also saw Whitebeard's crew's movements and quickly prepared for combat. Moreover, Sengoku was already on his way.
In the end, Marco and the others only confronted the Navy—no fight broke out. They were all focused on the battle on the island.
On the island, Garp—who had just jumped onto it—excitedly charged toward the battlefield.
"Whitebeard, Victor—take this! Iron Fist: Meteor Fist!"
Garp didn't waste words—he charged straight toward Whitebeard and Victor with a powerful punch.
