Chapter 89
Sengoku, the admiral dispatched by the Navy, was also approaching Whitebeard's territory. When he sensed the battle fluctuations, he immediately ordered full speed ahead.
At the same time, he had a premonition that Garp was definitely involved in this.
Now, it wasn't just the Navy and Whitebeard Pirates—other forces had also learned of the battle taking place here. But they all knew this was Whitebeard's territory, so they guessed Whitebeard was fighting someone.
High in the sky, Morgans' News Coo team was also present. They had discovered the battlefield and were photographing the massive battle scene.
"Hahaha, this is huge news! Quick, start the live broadcast." "It's a shame we missed the earlier chance, but it's not too late now." "Pirates and Navy both showed up—Whitebeard and Garp teaming up to surround Victor, the super powerhouse from the former Roger Pirates." "This content, this news—it's definitely going to explode!"
Morgans was already trembling with excitement at the sight. So at that moment, the live broadcast Den Den Mushi was set up immediately.
Even though their position was far to stay safe from the battlefield, they could still identify who was who. That was enough.
"Is the signal connected? Hurry, faster!" Morgans kept urging his subordinates.
"President, it's ready."
With his team in place, projection Den Den Mushi around the world instantly activated. Not only that—other crews began rebroadcasting the feed.
"Perfect. Now our newspaper will resound across the entire world. Hahaha."
Morgans trembled with excitement imagining that scene.
As live broadcasts appeared worldwide, everyone who saw the footage was instantly captivated.
"Hm? Isn't that Whitebeard? And Garp… Victor?" "This is a war in the New World—Garp and Whitebeard teaming up against Victor?" "Huh? What the hell is going on?"
People in plazas watching the giant screens were shocked and filled with confusion. Why was Garp teaming up with Whitebeard to surround Victor?
Underground forces also quickly noticed the situation. They all began watching the live broadcast of the battle.
"It really is Whitebeard, Garp, and Victor." "But why are they fighting? And why are Whitebeard and Garp teaming up against Victor?" "I never imagined Victor would be this monstrous—looks like the world's balance is about to shift dramatically."
These underground powers, watching the live footage, immediately felt the winds of change. They felt they needed to prepare. If they could ally with Victor, they'd soar to new heights.
The World Government and Navy also quickly received news of the live broadcast.
"Hm? Live footage of Garp and Whitebeard teaming up against Victor?"
Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong had come to the projection Den Den Mushi to watch. The more he watched, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Crane was sitting beside Kong, also frowning as she watched Garp in the footage. She was certain Garp had something to do with this.
"Fleet Admiral, Sengoku is already in the New World—he'll arrive soon." "In my opinion, this battle is just a coincidence. It's unrealistic for the Navy to take down the Whitebeard Pirates right now."
Crane gave the most realistic analysis.
"Hm, very sensible. Unfortunately, we weren't fully prepared." "Otherwise, we really could have tried."
Kong's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
"We still need to clean up the aftermath. I'll head to the New World myself—help Garp and the others sweep up." Crane nodded.
"Good, go." "I'll have to explain this to the Five Elders later."
Steel Bone Kong directly agreed to Crane's proposal.
Meanwhile, the Five Elders were also watching the three-way battle live.
At this moment, Victor showed no signs of defeat—he still seemed to be at the absolute peak of his power. In a one-against-two situation, he was still fighting evenly—his strength was terrifying.
But his stamina consumption was enormous, so the food stored in his Devour-Devour Fruit space was rapidly depleting. This was also why Victor dared fight at such high intensity for so long.
Whitebeard was surprised that Victor's physique could withstand their combined attacks. Garp had seen Victor's monstrous physique in God Valley, and with the Devour-Devour Fruit's support.
He felt the current Victor was truly absurdly strong. But even without digesting food to sustain stamina, Victor felt he could fight for many more days.
After all, his physique was as powerful as Garp believed—earned from consuming hundreds of tons of food. But if he didn't use food digestion to replenish energy, he might end up like Rocks—something could go wrong.
And since he had this ability, why not use it?

The Five Elders watched Victor's frenzied battle state with furrowed brows.
"We knew Victor was strong, but we never imagined he would be this monstrous—it's truly shocking." Nasujuro Saint was stunned by Victor's combat power.
"Didn't Garling Saint from the God's Knights say he was going to recruit Victor?" "How's that going? Any hope?"
Pitt Saint suddenly remembered the recruitment attempt.
"CP has made no progress—they don't dare approach. No results at all." "I no longer have high hopes for Victor joining the Celestial Dragons."
Vochuli Saint looked at Victor in the footage and voiced his doubts about Garling Saint's earlier proposal based on intelligence.
"Right now, Victor's potential, talent, and strength are truly world-class." "Garling Saint's idea to recruit him was correct—it's just a shame Victor probably has no interest."
Maz Saint had no hope for recruiting Victor.
"What do we do about this battle? Is there a chance to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates while they're distracted?" "And who's behind this live broadcast? Which news outlet pulled this off?"
Satan Saint frowned, seeming to want to find the mastermind.
"The mastermind can wait." "For now, let's focus on handling this situation."
Maz Saint felt the battle needed to be addressed first.
"I say let the Navy handle it." "Kong has surely learned of this and taken measures. We'll wait for the results."
Vochuli Saint gave his suggestion first.
