Chapter 51
Kaido drifted to Onigashima, planning to seize Wano Country and build his kingdom there.
However, at this moment Kaido had not yet eaten the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu (Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon), so his strength was far from enough to support his ambitions.
Especially at this time, Kozuki Oden was already an extremely skilled swordsman with tremendous power—Kaido without the fruit truly couldn't beat him.
Even after eating the Devil Fruit, Kaido still couldn't win in the end—he only succeeded by using schemes and tricks to deceive that fool Oden.
Therefore, the current Kaido could only lie low for now.
Meanwhile, Golden Lion was also frantically expanding his forces—his ambition was to become the King of the World.
Since Rocks could be the King of the World, so could he.
He was even preparing to invite the Roger Pirates to form an alliance, fantasizing about dominating the entire sea.
On board the Plant Scholars of the Roger Pirates.
At this moment they had arrived at Amazon Lily—Roger was sending Shakky back to the Kuja Kingdom.
They also took the opportunity to resupply daily necessities here—of course, they were not allowed to land.
So Shakky ordered the logistics officer of Amazon Lily to prepare a large amount of supplies for them.
Victor, of course, was not polite—he accepted everything without hesitation.
At this time, a seagull delivered the latest news newspaper, with bounty posters clipped inside.
The newspaper headline was massive—the content was about Navy Hero Garp leading the Navy to kill Rocks in God Valley.
The entire article was propaganda for the Navy and the World Government.
"Hahaha—Garp was awarded the title of Navy Hero."
Roger saw it and immediately burst into laughter.
"Hmph—this is the World Government's usual style, completely erasing our contribution."
Jabba immediately felt very angry.
"Hahaha—Uncle Jabba, were you really expecting the World Government to give us credit? That would be slapping their own face."
Victor laughed upon hearing this.
"Exactly, Jabba—if that happened, it wouldn't be the World Government anymore."
Rayleigh also said with a smile.
"Haha—true enough."
Jabba scratched his head and laughed too.
"Oh~ there are bounty posters here too."
Roger took out the bounty posters clipped in the newspaper.
"Look quick—see how much our bounties increased!"
In an instant, everyone crowded around.
"Hahaha—my bounty went up!"
Roger saw his bounty amount and laughed happily.
Rayleigh snatched the newspaper.
"Roger, bounty: 4,380,000,000 Berries. Hoho—it really went up several hundred million."
"Victor: bounty 3,890,000,000 Berries. Hey—this kid Victor is impressive. He's almost catching up to Roger's bounty."
Rayleigh saw Victor's bounty and immediately said in surprise.
"Wow—Victor-kun, that's amazing! This bounty amount suits you perfectly."
"Haha—Victor is a big shot now."
"Look at the others—look at the others!"
In an instant, everyone became lively again.
Victor laughed happily when he heard his bounty amount.
"Hahaha—since we're so happy, let's have a banquet!"
Roger seized the chance and shouted for another banquet.
Afterward, Victor found Shakky—he wanted to give her something as thanks for the Glutton-Glutton Fruit information.
At this moment, Victor remembered what that massive thing was that the Gluttonous Giant Mouth had brought back.
"Right—Shakky-nee, I snatched a Hellhound (Cerberus) Devil Fruit here."
"Rescuing you was too easy—I feel like I should give you something more."
"This Devil Fruit can be repayment for the Glutton-Glutton Fruit favor."
Victor remembered he still had a Cerberus Devil Fruit—the Glutton-Glutton Fruit favor felt insufficient to him.
After all, the Glutton-Glutton Fruit was extremely important to him—more important than any other fruit.
"Hehe—I don't need a Devil Fruit. Little brother rescuing me has already repaid the favor."
"Besides, the God Valley war was never 'easy'—that's just in terms of little brother Victor's overwhelming strength."
"As for your lifesaving grace, I still want to thank you."
Shakky said with a sweet smile, looking at Victor.
"Alright then—this Devil Fruit will stay with my partners."
Victor didn't insist after hearing this.
Immediately after, they joined the joyful banquet.
As the God Valley war spread across the seas, combined with the World Government's bounty posters—
It instantly shocked everyone on the seas.
"Roger and Victor are actually this powerful—monsters capable of fighting Rocks. Truly terrifying."
"I never expected Victor to have such strength at just over ten years old. This talent deserves that 3.89 billion bounty."
"Victor was already fighting Sengoku at fourteen. In just two years, he fought Rocks—even killed Rocks. Too terrifying."
Pirates, underworld forces, nations—even all powers—were shocked after learning Victor's journey since setting sail.
In just a few years at sea, he had reached such heights—he truly was a monstrous freak.
"I heard Victor has dual fruit abilities—the Glutton-Glutton Fruit and Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Rumors say his body is very special."
"Is that so? I heard it's the Glutton-Glutton Fruit's special ability that allowed Victor to eat a second Devil Fruit."
"Rumors say Victor's Glutton-Glutton Fruit has already awakened. Before awakening he could already eat a second fruit—after awakening he can definitely eat a third."
As news of Victor's dual fruit ability spread rapidly, discussions exploded and everyone envied his ability.
Everyone craved a body that could possess multiple fruit abilities at once.
After all, dual fruit powers were too broken—the God Valley war was proof.
But none of these people dared target Victor—he was a top powerhouse capable of fighting Rocks.
"Guhahaha—this kid really is something. Truly incredible."
Whitebeard, currently drinking sake while looking at the newspaper in his hand, laughed and said.
"Dad—your bounty is also four billion. Do you still fear this Victor?"
Young Marco asked in confusion.
"Guhahahaha—this isn't fear, it's respect. Do you know Rocks was the King of the Seas, and Victor fought Rocks to the very end of the battle?"
"And this kid has dual fruit abilities—mobility unmatched in the world. Do you know what that means?"
Whitebeard laughed loudly.
"It means Victor is very strong."
Marco blurted out.
