Chapter 65
Below Skypiea, on Jaya Island.
The Mont Blanc family once again heard the sound of the golden bell. They suddenly lifted their heads and excitedly looked up at the sky.
"Hahaha—this is really great! After so many years, to hear this sound again—it's truly wonderful."
The younger members of the Mont Blanc family listened to the golden bell's sound, tears of excitement streaming down their faces.
As for the pirates in Mock Town—no one liked them anyway, and no one cared whether they could hear this beautiful sound or not.
Next, Victor and the others stayed on Skypiea for two days to experience island life.
Victor took the opportunity to buy a super large amount of food and specialties—especially all kinds of dials.
He also used the Glutton-Glutton Fruit ability to create a batch of highly functional dials, such as ultra-efficient wind dials, powerful impact dials, and so on.
This trip could be considered quite fruitful.
Afterward, under the reluctant farewell of the Skypiea people, they left Skypiea.
They had gone from Sabaody Archipelago to Fish-Man Island before, so it wasn't troublesome.
They first got the Plant Scholars coated at Sabaody, then headed to Fish-Man Island.
So they needed to stay in Sabaody for a few days.
The Roger Pirates began free activities—Roger and the others, of course, went to have fun.
Victor and Beli went to the red-light district to find Nozaki.
Over these years, Nozaki had worked hard for him, collecting quite a lot of information.
She had even secretly acquired a Devil Fruit through back channels—unfortunately, it was just a Zoan type.
Victor hadn't paid much attention before and let Nozaki handle it herself.
But unexpectedly, Nozaki had kept it until now.
"You really put your heart into this. Is there any trouble you need me to resolve? While I still have some time."
Victor was in a pretty good mood right now, so he took the initiative to ask.
"We don't have any difficulties right now—after all, we're under Lord Victor's banner. No one dares mess with us."
Nozaki had relied on Victor's name over the years and had thrived here.
"Hmm—good. Alright, I'm going shopping. You all get busy."
With that, Victor finished the drink in his hand, stored the treasure chest on the table, and left with Beli.
But news of Victor's presence here had already spread throughout Sabaody's underworld forces.
The World Government naturally knew too—but they didn't dare act recklessly.
Not only that—they strictly forbade Celestial Dragons from approaching Sabaody Archipelago and had CP0 monitor the Roger Pirates' movements.
Victor ignored them and once again began a new round of food shopping on the gourmet street.
He directly bought out every stall on the entire gourmet street, paid, and stored everything away in one smooth go.
By the time the Plant Scholars' coating was finished, the Roger Pirates regrouped.
Then the Plant Scholars plunged into the sea and sailed toward Fish-Man Island.
With Ryan and the other Fish-Men leading the way, they quickly arrived at Fish-Man Island.
"Hahaha—I never expected we could learn about the birth of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon. The information from the Skypiea Poneglyph also pointed here."
Through his Voice of All Things ability, Roger immediately learned that Shirahoshi would soon be born.
"Captain Roger—how exactly is this Voice of All Things ability born? I'm really curious."
Victor looked at Roger curiously.
"Hahaha—I don't know either. I was just born with it."
Roger laughed loudly.
"Alright—born with it, no helping that. But my Mantra isn't much worse than yours."
Victor refused to admit defeat.
"Hahaha—Victor kid doesn't want to lose either."
Jabba immediately laughed.
"Hahaha—let's go, up to Fish-Man Island!"
Roger said with a big laugh and stepped off the ship.
At this moment, Neptune was already waiting at the entrance.
When he saw Victor and Ryan and the others, his heart immediately jolted.
"Hey—Your Majesty Neptune, long time no see."
Ryan and the other Fish-Men immediately greeted him with smiles.
They were now considered Haki powerhouses too.
They had all awakened mid-level two-color Haki and were core combat forces.
Moreover, they mainly specialized in underwater combat, so their positioning wasn't on land.
"Ryan, Victor—good to see you again."
Neptune saw Victor and the others and immediately lowered his weapon.
He still remembered Victor helping the Fish-Men, and he also knew Victor had beaten Celestial Dragons and a Navy Admiral candidate—his strength was extremely terrifying.
So he didn't dare offend Victor.
At the same time, seeing Victor again, he noticed Victor was now over five meters tall—a significant change.
"Hi, Neptune. Let's go up first."
Victor said directly.
"Yes—everyone, please."
Neptune politely invited the group in.
Roger saw Neptune and immediately knew he was seeing the future—or had heard something related to the king in front of him and the future.
Afterward, Roger went straight to Neptune and began a friendly conversation.
Although Neptune was skeptical, he still placed his future daughter as his top priority.
Immediately after, Roger and the others went to the location of the Poneglyph again.
Victor didn't go along—he wanted to continue shopping.
Shopping and eating gourmet food was also a very nice hobby.
So Victor bought another huge amount of food—several streets' worth of food were bought out by him again.
Today was another day of celebration for the vendors in Fish-Man Street.
When Victor was contentedly eating gourmet food, Roger and the others finally finished.
Victor knew Roger had left his message again and taken care of his business.
"Hey hey—Victor, eating alone again. Where's ours? Bring out the wine, hahaha."
Roger saw Victor and immediately shouted for drinks.
"Haha—coming, coming."
Victor immediately took out gourmet food and fine wine on the spot and called everyone to eat and drink.
"Hahaha—since that's the case, let's have a banquet! Cheers!"
Roger immediately shouted with a big laugh.
"Roar roar—banquet time!"
"Great—more big gulps of wine!"
"Come come come—don't miss out. Haha."
In an instant, everyone cheered, and the banquet started immediately.
Neptune also learned that the Roger Pirates were having a banquet and immediately ordered his logistics chefs to transport food to Roger and the others' location.
At the same time, he himself would bring his wife to join Roger's banquet.
Roger, of course, didn't refuse—the more people at a banquet, the livelier it was.
That kind of banquet was truly enjoyable, wasn't it?
Victor watched Roger drinking heartily and carelessly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising.
