Chapter 55
Roger, of course, still wanted to greet them first.
"Alright then—courtesy before force. Captain Roger, please go ahead."
Victor shrugged his shoulders, indicating it was fine.
"Hahaha—you brat."
Roger laughed happily upon hearing Victor's words.
The other crew members couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths.
Victor, meanwhile, had already locked onto Kozuki Oden and Blackbeard from the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Woo-hoo—is another big battle about to start?"
Shanks saw the Whitebeard Pirates and immediately guessed there would definitely be a fight.
"Hey hey—it's the Whitebeard Pirates! His Quake-Quake Fruit ability is seriously strong."
"Shanks—what are you so excited about?"
Buggy said very unhappily.
By now Buggy had, of course, already eaten the Chop-Chop Fruit—right under Victor's watchful eye.
This Devil Fruit wasn't very useful to Victor, and he also didn't want to change the cause-and-effect fate of Buggy and Shanks.
He was actually curious to see if Buggy would really end up that useless later on.
Whitebeard also noticed the presence of the Roger Pirates at this moment.
"Guhahaha—Roger and kid Victor are here. Looks like a big fight is unavoidable."
"Boys—prepare for battle!"
Whitebeard stood at the bow of the Moby Dick, looking toward the Plant Scholars, and shouted loudly.
"Oh—it really is the Roger Pirates."
Marco immediately locked onto Victor.
Marco positioned himself as Victor's counterpart, but in reality, he was benchmarking against Rayleigh.
"Ah—the Roger Pirates."
Kozuki Oden was somewhat surprised to see the Roger Pirates, but mostly excited—he also craved battle.
"Victor."
Blackbeard saw Victor and noticed Victor's gaze—his eyes immediately shrank, and he quickly looked away.
Victor saw this and couldn't help but smirk.
"Hey, Whitebeard—long time no see. Hahaha."
Roger looked toward Whitebeard and shouted loudly.
"Guhahaha—Roger. It really has been a while."
Whitebeard said, raising Murakumogiri.
Seeing Whitebeard's stance, it was clear he was fully prepared for battle.
"Hahaha—then let's fight. We'll talk after a good round."
Roger saw Whitebeard's action and immediately laughed loudly.
"Then let's fight! Boys—charge! Guhahaha!"
With that, Whitebeard leaped forward, taking the lead and charging straight at Roger.
Victor, meanwhile, went straight for Kozuki Oden.
This guy—he had disliked him for a long time. Now was the perfect chance to beat him senseless.
Kozuki Oden saw Victor coming for him and immediately became excited.
"Hahaha—Victor-kun, I've long heard of your fame."
Kozuki Oden had heard of Victor's reputation for a long time but never had the chance to spar.
Now that he had joined the Whitebeard Pirates and run into the Roger Pirates, it was time for a good fight.
"Kozuki Oden—I've wanted to fight you for a long time. Perfect timing—I can finally enjoy this."
Victor drew his Mo Dao and said with a smile.
"Haha—that's great, Victor-kun."
Kozuki Oden still thought Victor was being friendly.
But soon he would regret it.
"Don't blame me for bullying you—go all out, Kozuki Oden."
Victor gave a reminder, then instantly unleashed three-color Haki.
Lightning began coiling around his Mo Dao, and Armament Haki + Conqueror's Haki directly wrapped around the blade.
Victor didn't waste words—he went straight for the kill.
"Haha—then come, Victor-kun."
Kozuki Oden didn't hesitate. He gripped both swords tightly, leaped up excitedly, and quickly closed in on Victor.
Clang.
Boom.
Victor's Mo Dao met Kozuki Oden's dual blades head-on—and with greater speed.
The instant they collided, a violent explosion erupted, sending the seawater below soaring a hundred meters high.
The terrifying aftershock blew the surrounding pirates around in all directions.
Kozuki Oden was instantly sent flying over a hundred meters away by the terrifying impact force—his body still crackling with electric sparks.
In that single clash, the difference in strength was clear—Kozuki Oden was completely outmatched.
His hair standing straight from the electricity, Kozuki Oden flipped and landed on the ship, looking at Victor with blazing eyes.
"Victor-kun—you really are powerful."
Kozuki Oden was deeply shocked by Victor's strength—his heart burned even hotter.
"Hoho—Kozuki Oden is pretty good. He actually managed to clash with Victor."
"Come on—he's clearly getting suppressed, isn't he?"
"Victor is still the best. Besides Captain Roger, I think he's the strongest person in the world."
The Roger Pirates members saw Victor's clean, one-sided dominance and couldn't help praising him.
Immediately after, Kozuki Oden charged again—but the result was the same.
"I can't believe it—the power is this immense."
Kozuki Oden felt the massive force coming from Victor's Mo Dao and was incredibly shocked inside.
But seeing Victor's massive 5-6 meter frame, he suddenly understood.
Excited, he lunged at Victor again, swinging his dual blades rapidly toward Victor.
Terrifying Haki fluctuated violently around him—the black-coated blades gleamed with chilling light.
"Victor-kun—again!"
Kozuki Oden clashed with Victor once more.
"Hoho—what a shame."
Victor felt Kozuki Oden was truly wasting his strength being such a fool.
Since that was the case—he might as well take it properly.
Victor's terrifying Divine Departure slashed out again.
Clang clang "Boom!"
Their terrifying power collision once again caused explosions in the surrounding sea.
But even though Kozuki Oden wasn't Victor's match and kept getting knocked back, he still stubbornly continued fighting.
As a result, during the battle, Victor kept adding wounds to Kozuki Oden's body.
Not only that—Victor also occasionally gave Kozuki Oden a few hundred-million-volt electrotherapy sessions.
Lightning of this voltage—even Rocks would have to be cautious, let alone Kozuki Oden.
By now, Kozuki Oden was scorched completely black.
But he still refused to admit defeat and continued challenging Victor.
Seeing this, Victor kept fulfilling his wish—giving him the respect he deserved.
His Thunder Divine Departure came like it cost nothing—slashing toward Kozuki Oden nonstop.
Moreover, Victor's speed was faster, his Observation Haki top-tier—he gave Kozuki Oden no chance to react.
Previously Victor had always actively parried Kozuki Oden's dual blades—otherwise this guy wouldn't even touch Victor's Mo Dao.
And just at that moment, the sea suddenly shook violently—hundred-meter waves surged up abruptly.
"Hoho—Whitebeard got serious? The Quake-Quake Fruit really is impressive."
Victor turned to look at Whitebeard's fight and noticed Whitebeard specifically glance at him.
He immediately understood Whitebeard's meaning.
"Alright then—if that's the case, so be it."
Saying that, Victor took advantage of Kozuki Oden being momentarily dazed from being hit—and knocked him unconscious with a single hilt strike.
