Chapter 92
Whitebeard immediately understood why Victor had come looking for him upon hearing that.
"Guhahaha, Victor kid—you came all this way just for this?"
The three had fought a long battle—there was no more anger or resentment left between them.
"That's right. Didn't I say so?" Victor nodded in confirmation.
"Guhahahaha, Victor kid—you came in swinging without a word." "Fine, Fish-Man Island is yours. Come on—let's go open a banquet! Guhahaha!"
Whitebeard burst into hearty laughter.
"Hey hey, you two guys—" "I'm Navy—Sengoku and the others are watching me."
Garp immediately became unhappy. After fighting so long, he was hungry—and now he couldn't even join the pirates' banquet.
"Garp, who cares about you? Go find your Navy friends." Victor gave Garp zero face.
"Guhahaha, well said!" Whitebeard laughed even louder.
"Hahaha, fine—I won't argue with you two. I'm out."
With that, Garp leaped away from the island in a few bounds.
Victor and Whitebeard exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.
"Feels great—let's go open a banquet! Hahaha!" Victor flashed with lightning and disappeared, instantly reappearing on the Plant Scholars.
Whitebeard also laughed heartily and returned to his Moby Dick.
Marco hurried forward and used his Phoenix Fruit ability to treat Whitebeard's wounds. On Garp's warship, the medical team also quickly came to treat him.
"Garp, as punishment for acting on your own this time—no more doughnuts when we get back." Crane walked over and glared sternly at Garp.
"Ah? No way—can't we negotiate?" This punishment instantly depressed Garp.
"Hmph, serves you right." Sengoku turned and walked away, ignoring Garp.
Only Zephyr remained standing beside him.
"Zephyr, how about we go on missions together from now on?" Garp looked at Zephyr hopefully.
"Don't even think about it. Looks like you won't be leaving Navy Headquarters for a while." With that, even Zephyr walked away.
The Navy obviously couldn't join pirates for a banquet, so after picking up Garp, they left directly.
Morgans, seeing no more news, also departed. But this massive story would soon make his economic newspaper explode worldwide. Thinking of that, Morgans trembled with excitement again.
Victor and Whitebeard found another island. As if they hadn't just fought, they happily opened a banquet.
Marco's healing flames were miraculous—Whitebeard's wounds scabbed over so quickly. No wonder the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't do without Marco—at least this healing ability helped Whitebeard immensely.
Victor could handle it alone, but with Crocus present, he couldn't escape. Crocus came over, bandaged Victor's wounds, and even prescribed some medicine.
Instantly, Victor put on a pained face. But he couldn't resist—this was the rule.
"Crocus, can we talk about this? No medicine?" Victor looked at Crocus with a pained expression, pleading.
"No way—non-negotiable." Crocus refused flatly.
"Oh, almost forgot. How about this? I take you to find the Baron Pirates—skip the medicine." Victor suddenly remembered something and tried to negotiate with Crocus.
"Who? The Baron Pirates? You know where they are?" "Medicine is still non-negotiable. But you have to take me to the Baron Pirates."
Crocus turned around tensely. But the medicine issue was still non-negotiable.
"Wow, Crocus—you're so unreasonable." "Fine, this is a total loss—wife and army both gone. Huge deficit."
Victor knew it wouldn't work and resigned himself. But he would still go find Brook. That Revive-Revive Fruit was a bug—very strange.
Victor's pained expression made everyone burst into laughter. Except for the Plant Scholars crew, no one had ever seen Victor like this.
"Victor, even you have days like this. Hahaha!" Marco laughed heartily.
"Guhahaha, Victor kid—come drink!" Whitebeard also laughed loudly.
Victor didn't mind and joined in laughing, participating in the banquet.
The next day, Victor and the others left Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
"Ryan, the Fish-Man Island issue is settled." "Tell Neptune to raise our flag quickly."
Victor found Ryan, patted his shoulder, and said.
"Yes, thank you Captain!"
Ryan and the other Fish-Man crew members finally understood. This battle was Victor proactively confronting Whitebeard to settle the Fish-Man Island matter.
Instantly, they were moved to tears.
"Alright, you're all grown men—crying like this? What's that look like?" Victor comforted them.
After the banquet, Moonlight Moria had become familiar with the crew. Barrels and Moria's new recruits also got along well with everyone.
However, the division subordinates didn't get necklaces—only official Plant Scholars members qualified. Even Nico Robin didn't have one yet. But the crew treated Robin very well.
Victor also told them that official crew members could go home anytime. Stay as long as they wanted—go home when they wanted, come back when they wanted.
Victor placed no restrictions, just asked them not to be too flashy to avoid attracting Navy attention. If anyone wanted to venture out alone, they could claim a new division title and go. In short, freedom was the point—Victor could afford to support it.
"Captain banzai~~"
The crew was instantly moved and cheered loudly. In an instant, another banquet began.
After the banquet, Victor let Barrels and Moonlight Moria leave on their own. Victor then led the Plant Scholars back toward the first half of the Grand Line.
Because Brook was somewhere in the misty area of the first half. Victor wasn't sure he could find Brook in the fog without getting lost. Anyway, he'd go in and try first.
So the Plant Scholars turned around and set a new course.
Victor's great battle with Whitebeard and Garp had already spread across the entire world. Especially Victor—recent news about him was everywhere.
The Loguetown incident, the Ohara actions, and now this three-way battle. It made Victor even more famous.
As a result, even more people began setting sail to sea—something Victor hadn't expected.
