Chapter 102
Garling Saint gritted his teeth, staring motionlessly in the direction Victor had left.
The aftermath at Mary Geoise was ultimately cleaned up by the Navy and the guard soldiers. The God's Knights merely stood by, while also conducting another thorough inspection of Mary Geoise.
The next morning, Morgans' World Economic Journal began circulating worldwide. Morgans, who hadn't slept all night, felt no fatigue—only exhilaration. The coming days would surely be filled with massive discussions among the world's people.
Meanwhile, Victor first returned to Sabaody Archipelago. Seeing that neither Rayleigh nor Shakky was there, he knew they were helping handle the slaves.
"Rayleigh and Shakky are still reliable—good."
Then he left the place as well.
Fisher Tiger stayed in the sea for a long time observing Mary Geoise. After the battle stopped, he thought about providing backup. But he saw no sign of Victor-san.
So he concluded that Victor-san had left directly after the fight. Thus, Fisher Tiger stopped dwelling on it and quickly returned to Fish-Man Island.
Victor went straight back to the Baron Omatsuri. This battle had brought him gains—he planned to train for a while longer. The Baron Omatsuri was now the official base of the Plant Scholars Pirates.
Heracles and the others didn't want to leave—they could research and cultivate plants here. The rest could train freely without worrying about food. They also hunted food for the Baron Omatsuri every so often.
Brook, who rarely had so many companions, was extremely happy. Every day after training, they sat together listening to Brook sing and held small banquets. It let them live carefree lives.
Victor was very pleased to see their decisions. After all, after more than ten years of warfare and even reaching Laugh Tale—wasn't it time to enjoy himself a little?
When Victor returned, he greeted everyone and threw another grand feast. Then he dove straight into a state of eating while training, completely ignoring external changes.
Back on Fish-Man Island, Fisher Tiger. He planned to form the Sun Pirates based on his own ideals.
When Fisher Tiger shared his idea, Jinbei immediately resigned from his position as captain of the royal guards and chose to follow Fisher Tiger to sea. The small-time thugs of Fish-Man Street also supported Fisher Tiger and joined the Sun Pirates one after another.
Meanwhile, people all over the world were now reading the newspapers delivered by News Coo. When they saw Victor's heroic figure storming Mary Geoise to liberate slaves, they immediately became excited.
"The great hero who liberated slaves! Lord Victor!" "So that night, Lord Victor and Fisher Tiger attacked Mary Geoise, freed all the slaves, and Lord Victor held off the pursuers alone." "Lord Victor truly is a great hero. Now we should call him Lord Thunder God." "That's great—someone finally stood up for us slaves. Waaah, this is really great."
In an instant, the entire world was singing Victor's praises, calling him the great hero who liberated slaves.
At Baltigo, Revolutionary Army headquarters. Ivankov was excitedly looking at the newspaper in his hands.
"Lord Victor! He actually attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise to liberate the slaves there. This is amazing—truly amazing!" "Big Bear, come quick—look at the newspaper! Huge news about Lord Victor. Tremendous good news!"
Ivankov excitedly called Big Bear over.
"Here I come." The gentle Big Bear quickly ran over.
"Look here—Lord Victor liberated the slaves in Mary Geoise. It's so inspiring!" Ivankov pointed at the newspaper excitedly for Big Bear to see.
"It's real—it's real. The great hero who liberated slaves." "Lord Victor is truly incredible. This is so wonderful."
Big Bear shouted excitedly upon seeing it.
At that moment, Dragon also heard the excited shouts of the two and roughly understood what was happening. He walked over, looked at the newspaper in Ivankov's hands, and felt deeply moved.
"As expected of a super powerhouse on the seas—this will, this strength, this boldness—it's impossible not to admire." "Victor-san truly is someone who accomplishes great things."
Dragon said sincerely while looking at the photos in the newspaper.
Over on Whitebeard's side, he was also reading the newspaper.
"Guhahahaha, Victor kid did another big thing." "Good, good—really good. Today we're happy—open a banquet!"
After finishing the newspaper, Whitebeard said "good" three times to show his approval of Victor. He was so happy he wanted to hold a banquet.
"Roar roar roar—banquet time!" In an instant, the pirates cheered loudly.
"Dad, Victor-san really is amazing." Marco came over holding the newspaper.
Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, Barrels, Moonlight Moria, and others were all reading the newspaper. They couldn't help but admire Victor's great deed.
"A great hero who liberated slaves—well-deserved."
In Water 7, Vivi and in Sabaody Archipelago, Nami immediately prepared banquets to celebrate.
Immediately after, the World Government swiftly announced new bounties for Victor and Fisher Tiger.

Possesses the Devour-Devour Fruit and Rumble-Rumble Fruit dual abilities, powerful physique, body techniques, and swordsmanship. An extremely vicious pirate of the seas.

Fisher Tiger Former Celestial Dragon slave. After escaping, returned to Mary Geoise and participated in the attack on Mary Geoise as a rioter. Bounty: 230 million berries.
At this moment, the residents of Fish-Man Island also learned from Fisher Tiger about Victor's great deed. In an instant, most of Fish-Man Island's residents came to revere Victor.
Immediately after, Fisher Tiger led his crew to sea—including Arlong and others.
While slaves all over the world were singing Victor's praises, Victor was eating. While the oppressed people of the world were learning Victor's spirit, Victor was still eating. While the entire world discussed Victor, he was still eating.
As long as it made him stronger—he would keep eating.
And just then, in Water 7, Tom the shipwright finally faced arrest by the World Government. Vivi immediately informed Victor.
"Lord Victor, shipwright Tom's situation is very bad—he could be captured by the World Government at any moment." Vivi called Victor right away.
"This news is very important—you did well. I'm heading there now."
The World Government was still the same old thing—Victor couldn't help shaking his head.
