Chapter 90:
The other Five Elders heard Vochuli Saint's suggestion and felt it was fine to let the Navy handle it. So they agreed, and immediately began discussing other matters.
Meanwhile, Garling Saint was also watching the live broadcast. When he saw Victor's heroic figure on screen, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Victor's strength has reached this level? As expected of someone I've set my sights on."
Garling Saint became even more determined to recruit Victor into the Celestial Dragons. If he knew Victor would kill him, one can only wonder what his reaction would be.
At Water 7 and Sabaody Archipelago, many people were now glued to the live broadcast.
Vivi was excitedly watching Victor on screen, occasionally cheering and clapping loudly. Nami and Nami's group immediately stopped business, closed the shop, and gathered the sisters to watch the broadcast.
In an instant, the entire world was spreading news of the live broadcast: Whitebeard and Garp teaming up against Victor.
Heracles, Barrels, and Moonlight Moria also learned of the situation. They immediately turned their ships around and headed straight for Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
No matter what, they had to go support Victor.
"Victor is fighting Whitebeard and Garp—we're going to support him. Depart immediately!"
Heracles shouted loudly to the crew.
Bailey and the others immediately became anxious and rushed back to their posts.
"Hahaha, Victor's in a big fight. I'm going to join too—let's go!"
Barrels also rallied his crew and immediately set course for Whitebeard's territory.
"No matter what, I have to go support the Captain."
Moonlight Moria also turned his ship around without hesitation to join the support.
On the Navy side, Sengoku had already arrived at the battlefield quickly. But unlike Garp's recklessness, he first rendezvoused with Zephyr.
"Zephyr, why didn't you stop Garp?"
Sengoku asked the moment he saw Zephyr.
"Sengoku, easy for you to say. You don't know Garp's personality—how could I stop him?"
Zephyr immediately refused to take the blame—he didn't want to stop him; he simply couldn't.
"Sigh, Garp really is a willful guy."
Sengoku clearly knew Garp's impulsiveness.
"Sengoku, look at Victor's state—he's been fighting for four days now and is still at peak physical condition." "Before Garp joined, he'd already fought Whitebeard for two days." "Now he's one against two and maintaining such high-intensity combat. Just imagine how terrifying his physique and strength are."
Zephyr was reminding him of what level of monster they were dealing with and to think about how to handle the aftermath.
"Hm, I really didn't expect Victor kid to become this strong." "Our Navy wasn't prepared—expanding the war right now isn't feasible." "For now, we can only provide support for Garp and ensure our Navy's forces are protected. If another opportunity arises, we'll adapt on the spot."
Sengoku had no better ideas at the moment. After all, this was Whitebeard Pirates' territory—Marco and tens of thousands were watching nearby. The Navy wasn't their match, and fighting on enemy ground put them at a huge disadvantage.
Originally, if Victor and Whitebeard had both been exhausted, that would have been perfect. They might have even picked up some benefits. But now Garp had jumped in himself.
Thinking of this, Sengoku couldn't help wanting to punch Garp.
Just then, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi rang. After hearing the content, his brows furrowed again.
"Victor's crew is coming—Heracles, Barrels, and Moonlight Moria—they're all rushing to support Victor." Sengoku said gravely.
This made it even harder for the Navy to gain any advantage.
But this call was from Crane—she was already on her way.
"Looks like this war won't happen. Knowing Victor's style, he won't let his crew interfere."
Zephyr sighed in relief upon hearing this.
"You're not wrong. But still, prepare for battle." "It's really a shame—we weren't fully prepared."
Sengoku still felt regret over this missed opportunity. He didn't know when the next chance like this would come.
Meanwhile, Victor in the fight didn't care about any of this—he only felt the exhilaration of battle. Right now, Victor was experiencing the feeling of unleashing his full power without restraint—his hands and feet completely free.
His entire body felt refreshed. This battle had brought him great gains.
Victor and Polaris had fully synced—Polaris now felt like an extension of his arm, completely one with him. Moreover, with their mental connection, Polaris could unleash 120% of its power.
In other words, his current combat power was two points stronger than two days ago. However, injuries during battle were unavoidable—his body now had more than a dozen wounds, big and small.
But Victor's recovery ability was monstrous—almost instantly, the wounds scabbed and healed. Internal damage was even less of an issue.
Under the Devour Talent, food in his Devour Space was rapidly digested, providing continuous energy.
Whitebeard and Garp felt completely different. Although they were also enjoying the fight, they could sense Victor's swordsmanship had become even sharper.
Moreover, after fighting this long, Victor showed no signs of fatigue.
"Guhahaha, Victor kid—I didn't expect you to break through in the middle of battle. Impressive."
Whitebeard, seeing Victor grow stronger, felt both gratified and admiring. In Victor, he saw a glimpse of Roger.
Although Victor's strength had increased, Whitebeard was not intimidated at all. His own strength was enough to stand above most.
Garp also noticed this—admiration couldn't be hidden in his eyes.
"Hahahaha, Victor kid. Why be a pirate? Joining the Navy would be so much better."
Garp truly envied Victor's monstrous talent. But he also knew Victor would never join the Navy—otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now.
Although Garp admired Victor greatly, his fists grew heavier with no mercy.
Whitebeard's pirate crew, meanwhile, endured the fierce winds from the battle shockwaves and occasional tsunamis. While helpless against the elements, their eyes burned with admiration and longing for the three powerhouses in the field.
