Victor's capture of Gustav was published in the newspapers a week later.

Gustav was different from Count Red.

Count Red had not slaughtered innocents indiscriminately.

But Gustav had destroyed several countries, and he truly had eaten quite a few people.

On the Grand Line, if children cried without stopping, adults only had to say, "Gustav will eat children who cry."

The children would quickly stop crying.

Thus, when the newspapers flew to every corner of the world aboard News Coos, the news of Victor capturing Gustav shocked the entire world.

Golden Jackson.

Rayleigh waved at a News Coo.

The News Coo landed on the ship's rail.

Rayleigh paid 500 Berries and bought a newspaper.

When he saw the headline, Rayleigh's eyes widened.

His astonished expression naturally drew everyone's attention.

While sailing at sea, the crew's only source of information was the newspapers delivered by News Coos.

"Mr. Rayleigh, what happened?"

"First Mate?"

The crew members all gathered around Rayleigh.

Their gazes fell upon the newspaper.

Navy Supernova: Rear Admiral Victor Captures Cannibal Crocodile Gustav Alive, Annihilates the Giant Crocodile Pirates.

"Is this guy really that strong?"

"Didn't he capture Count Red not long ago?"

"The Navy has produced someone truly extraordinary!"

"Is he really only twenty?"

"Hope we don't run into him, or it'll be a real headache."

"Could he be hunting powerful people?"

One after another, the Roger Pirates' crew cried out in shock and speculation.

Since entering the New World, Victor had already captured three Great Pirates!

At that moment, Roger walked over with two bottles of liquor in his hands.

Roger and Rayleigh both leaned against the ship's rail.

Roger handed one bottle to Rayleigh, who took it and drank a sip.

Gulp, gulp, gulp~~~

Roger drank his liquor.

Rayleigh exhaled, his expression solemn as he said, "My premonition was right. The situation on the seas is about to change."

Roger burst into laughter.

Then Roger tilted his head back, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's fine. There's still enough time."

Gol D. Roger had contracted an incurable illness. Thus, he invited Crocus aboard as the ship's doctor. Crocus accepted Roger's invitation in order to search for the Rumbar Pirates.

What he meant was that Victor would not affect his plans.

Crocus walked over and examined Roger.

Bullet watched from the side, his brows tightly furrowed.

Moby Dick.

Whitebeard sat in his seat, holding a jar of liquor in one hand.

Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp~~~

"Gurararara~~~"

After taking a huge gulp, Whitebeard could not help but laugh.

Just moments ago, Oden Kozuki's Second Division had taken out another group of human traffickers, seized their treasure, and rescued the people aboard their ship.

At that moment, a News Coo flew over.

"Hey!"

Oden Kozuki waved at the News Coo and shouted at the same time.

The News Coo flapped its wings and flew over.

Oden Kozuki took the newspaper while Toki Kozuki, carrying Momonosuke, came over to pay.

Oden Kozuki read the contents of the paper, then opened his mouth in shock.

"Hey, Newgate."

Oden Kozuki hurried over to Whitebeard's side.

Whitebeard had been listening to everyone tell stories. Seeing Oden Kozuki's startled reaction, he frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"The Crocodile was captured."

Oden Kozuki handed the newspaper to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard took the paper and looked at the front-page article.

"Gustav was captured."

Whitebeard's brow furrowed tightly.

Gustav was strong, and he could take a beating.

Whenever Whitebeard encountered Gustav, he did not want to get too entangled with him.

Marco walked over with a grave expression. "Pops, Gustav is the third one."

Thatch leaned in and said worriedly, "Is this guy named Victor trying to capture all the Great Pirates in the New World?"

Vista, Jozu, and the others all showed worried expressions as well.

If Victor's goal truly was to hunt down the Great Pirates of the New World, then Whitebeard would also be one of Victor's targets.

Seeing the concern in his sons' eyes, Whitebeard smiled and said, "Don't worry. As long as we don't clash with the Navy, nothing will happen."

Whole Cake Island, Cake Island.

Inside Cake Castle, Charlotte Linlin had just finished reading today's newspaper.

Perospero, Charlotte Daifuku, Charlotte Oven, and the others all wore worried expressions.

Since Victor entered the New World, three Great Pirates had already been captured.

The fact that Victor had captured three Great Pirates proved that he was no weakling, and that it was no coincidence.

Who would become his next target?

Whitebeard? Roger? Golden Lion? Or them?

Katakuri stood with his arms folded across his chest, silent.

He had fought Gustav before. Though it had been brief, he was certain that Gustav was stronger than him.

"Mamama." Charlotte Linlin said coldly, "What are you afraid of?"

"He's just a Navy man."

Charlotte Linlin directly burned the newspaper in her hand.

"Linlin is right." Streusen said with a stern face. As one of the founders of the Big Mom Pirates, he was qualified to remind everyone, "Even if Victor is like Garp, there's no need to fear him."

"Linlin is invincible!"

Streusen shouted loudly.

"That's right, Mama is invincible."

"Mama is unbeatable!"

Inside the hall, the teenage boys and girls all chimed in.

"Mamama." Charlotte Linlin's face darkened. "Still, we have to admit that the Navy is gradually changing the balance of the New World."

In the past, the Navy's presence in the New World had not been particularly strong.

Especially during Rocks's era.

However, Victor's appearance had changed the situation.

Victor was not Garp, but he was even more threatening than Garp.

Beast Island.

Kaido had also learned from the newspaper that Victor had captured Gustav.

King wore a mask, making it impossible to see his expression.

At that moment, King said to Kaido, "Should we move somewhere else?"

Having a fixed territory meant the Navy could come straight to their door.

King had escaped the laboratory alongside Kaido and had no desire to return there.

Kaido raised a brow at this and said dismissively, "If he dares come looking for me, I'll kill him."

"The boss is invincible!"

"Wipe out the entire Navy!"

Inside the cave, quite a few Beasts Pirates officers had been drinking, shouting and clamoring one after another.

They were all drunk and itching to go out and pick a fight.

King stopped trying to dissuade them.

Kaido looked at King. He knew what King was worried about, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'm very strong."

Kaido truly was strong.

But Victor's hunting behavior was unsettling.

Quite a few pirates shared King's concerns.
