Chapter 91
Victor heard Whitebeard and Garp's admiration and laughed heartily. However, his blade didn't stop for a moment. To respond to the enthusiasm of these two, Polaris's strikes became even sharper.
"Hahaha, it's rare to have a real fight—let's make it a good one!" Victor shouted with bold laughter.
"Guhahaha, come on then, Victor kid." Whitebeard was even more imposing and hearty than Victor.
"Come on—who's scared? Hahaha!" Garp wasn't about to back down either.
In an instant, the battle grew even more intense. Victor's thunderous power bombarded the surrounding sea area.
Whenever such a massive scene unfolded, nearby pirates and Navy soldiers felt their scalps go numb. The controlled electromagnetic field made their hair stand on end. A few unlucky ones were turned into little black figures.
Fortunately, the lightning wasn't targeted at them—at most, it was stray bolts. It wasn't enough to kill them all.
Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was no less impressive—even Sengoku and Zephyr felt a chill in their hearts seeing it. Terrifying tsunamis—if anyone got too close to the battlefield, they'd be swept straight to the ocean floor.
Therefore, all the onlookers didn't dare get too close. Because of this, several of Morgans' subordinates were struck by lightning and turned into charcoal. The remaining crew immediately fled farther away, no longer daring to risk their lives.
"Looks like their fight still isn't over." Zephyr, hearing Victor and the others' dialogue, knew the battle would continue.
"Fine, we'll just keep waiting." Sengoku had no other choice. Unless he lost his mind and joined the fight himself.
At that moment, Navy soldiers were once again blown around by tsunamis and fierce winds—another chaotic scene.
Thus, the on-site spectators and live broadcast viewers watched for another two days.
Heracles and the others finally arrived at the battlefield. When they saw the battlefield with their own eyes, they couldn't help but sigh.
Only Victor, Whitebeard, and Garp were fighting—everyone else was just watching the show. Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy fleet were all spectators.
Heracles and the other members exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Looks like Victor's really enjoying this fight. Well then, let's be spectators too." Heracles said to the crew.
"The Captain's strength is amazing—look at that figure, so cool!" Bailey was thrilled seeing Victor, even though he couldn't help.
"Hahaha, this kind of battle scene really gets the blood pumping!" Barrels, who had just arrived, rubbed his hands excitedly, itching to join.
His crew behind him was also extremely excited seeing Victor.
"We finally get to see the Captain—awesome!" "As expected of a legend—so strong!" "Can I ask the Captain for an autograph?"
It seemed the crew Barrels recruited were also Victor fans.
Moonlight Moria brought mostly zombies, including Ryuma. These zombies' shadows came from pirate criminals. Of course, he had also recruited new crew—otherwise he'd have no one to talk to.
"Hahaha, as expected of the Captain—fighting Whitebeard and Garp without falling behind." "I originally wanted the Captain to see my training results from this time, but too bad I can't help."
Moonlight Moria laughed happily seeing Victor's heroic combat stance. During the time he recruited the Second Division, he had trained extremely hard, fully embracing Victor's will.
So now he was full of ambition—no trace of dejection. Moreover, the crew he recruited weren't vicious criminals. After all, Victor's rule for all crew was no wanton killing of innocents. Moria had followed this rule very thoroughly.
On the Navy side, Vice Admiral Crane had also arrived at the battlefield. At the same time, she noticed Heracles and the others—her brows immediately tightened.
Whitebeard Pirates also spotted Heracles and the other two ships flying the Plant Scholars flag. Marco sighed in relief when he saw Heracles arrive.
At least he wasn't holding things alone anymore—now the Plant Scholars group could help share the pressure.
"Heracles and the others are here too—looks like the Navy won't be able to start a war with us." Marco said with a smile.
The other pirates also looked toward the Plant Scholars direction.
During this time, Heracles and Barrels had made quite a name for themselves. Heracles with the Azure Dragon Fruit was extremely strong. Except for Whitebeard, he dared clash with anyone—even Kaido with the Black Dragon Fruit.
Heracles had now fully mastered his fruit ability—one dragon breath could overwhelm most opponents. And Bailey, Gavin, Crocus, and the others weren't pushovers either. They had all trained alongside Heracles—their strength had improved.
Barrels went without saying—a battle maniac who always charged first. He trained extremely hard—if his strength didn't improve, whose would? Barrels' current strength matched the future Navy Admirals.
But after seeing Victor's battle, they still felt a clear gap. The nearby islands had mostly been sunk by Victor and the others—only one small island remained.
And this battle had lasted seven days.
There was also the live broadcast—Morgans had been watching with bloodshot eyes for so many days. Not only that—he printed the latest newspapers every day and distributed them worldwide. This thoroughly angered the World Government, but they couldn't find him.
Finally, when the last small island was leveled down to just a tiny piece by Victor and the other two, the battle stopped.
All three were breathing heavily, their bodies covered in wounds big and small. But their physiques were among the strongest on the seas—recovery was superhuman.
Whitebeard and Garp's wounds had clotted blood—though they looked miserable, the injuries weren't serious. Mostly superficial.
As for Victor, there was even less to say—his wounds were only scars, and even the newest ones had quickly scabbed over.
"Looks like this fight can only end here. If we keep going, there won't be anywhere left to stand." "Whitebeard, remember—Fish-Man Island is under my protection. Don't get any ideas."
Victor had already exited the blood-red state, but he still radiated a fierce battle aura.
