The reason Vic fell into a coma was that the original owner's obsession disappeared and his soul was about to dissipate. However, the original owner chose to use his own soul as nourishment to nourish Vic's soul, which is why he was in a coma for so long!
This is also why he was able to perfectly control Conqueror's Haki as soon as he woke up. His soul and mental strength were exceptionally strong, and then he naturally mastered the Conqueror's Haki Coating!
Vic was initially surprised to see the original owner's soul, but he was relieved when he realized that his own soul could travel to this world.
The concept of the soul has always existed in this world. Brook can even have his soul leave his body, and the Big Mom can extract souls for her own use.
However, after this incident, something puzzled and frightened Vic: the theory that having two souls meant being able to eat two Devil Fruit was wrong!
Even after his original soul shattered, he didn't die from the explosion caused by eating two Devil Fruit. Is the rumor wrong? Or was his first Devil Fruit exceptionally special?
The rumors must be true, otherwise why didn't anyone else follow Blackbeard's example after he gained two Devil Fruit powers? Or why did those who tried all explode and die? So why didn't a second Devil Fruit User appear?
In addition, the CP9 member he killed a year ago mentioned the legend of Devil Fruit, and Tsukimi examined him on Drum Island and found no Lineage Factor unique to Devil Fruit users. That's why he made up his mind to go to Sky Island to find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
After going through everything, Vic became even more convinced that the Speed-Speed Fruit was too special, but he didn't know why it was so special.
Perhaps, as CP9 suggested, Devil Fruit have exhibited a regression to their ancestral form, possessing the characteristic that ancient Devil Fruit did not have mutual repulsion.
Of course, there might be other reasons, which we might only know when Vic becomes more powerful. Vic couldn't help but be glad that he was cautious and didn't blindly search for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
" Vic! You've been in a coma for two months! I was so worried about you, waaaaah!"
Before Rebecca could speak, a girl with long, sea-blue hair threw herself into Vic's arms and burst into tears.
Vic instinctively reached out and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, while his other hand stroked her long, sea-blue hair, as if it were a habitual action.
He didn't recognize the girl; she just seemed vaguely familiar. Vic looked up at Rebecca and the others with some confusion, wanting an explanation from them.
" Vic! This is Ain! Don't you recognize her? This is Ain after she used her powers to grow up. Didn't you say last time that she was a child and wanted her to disembark to avoid trouble?"
Perhaps it spurred her on; she's been frantically developing her Devil Fruit power lately, and now she can not only shrink people but also age them. So you have no reason to let Ain disembark now!
Rebecca wiped away her tears and smiled at Vic, saying that while Vic had been unconscious, everyone else had been training very hard, and Ain had also been working hard to develop her Devil Fruit ability, not wanting to hold them back.
Seeing that even the children were working so hard, Olvia sought out Rebecca, wanting Rebecca to teach her how to become stronger. Before, she had been on the run and had neither the time nor the means, but now she had a ready-made instructor.
They were among the best in the navy, with complete training programs and methods. She didn't want to be at the mercy of others like before, powerless to fight back.
Rebecca was naturally generous, teaching her the training methods she had learned from the Navy and Vic, and even lending her the gravity bracelet on Vic's wrist. However, Olvia certainly wouldn't need the gravity bracelet at the beginning of her training.
But two months later, her energy and spirit were completely different. During these two months, they had been eating mostly the meat of Sea Kings from the Calm Belt, which was a great source of nutrition for Olvia who was training.
" Vic! You don't recognize me anymore, waaaaah!"
Ain looked up at Vic with her tear-streaked face, then buried her head in Vic's arms, crying even harder.
This time, Vic took a closer look. The face gradually overlapped with that of Ain, who was blocked from the battlefield by Aokiji's ice wall and cried in the movie "The Strongest Enemy Z". Although there are some differences between the anime and the current live-action version, the expression and three-dimensional face are not much different, so it is still recognizable.
Vic couldn't help but marvel at how obsession could truly make someone stronger! Little did he know that more than a decade later, Vegapunk would say to the Straw Hat Pirates that Devil Fruit were the materialized product of desire, and that desire could naturally help develop the abilities of Devil Fruit.
Ain believed that Vic didn't want her to stay on the ship because she was a child. In addition, Vic had told her before that her Devil Fruit ability could not only return objects and creatures to their past state, but also travel to the future!
Regardless of whether the Devil Fruit possessed such power, Ain believed it, and so she actually developed it!
" Ain! Don't cry. I just woke up and my mind isn't clear yet. Plus, you've suddenly grown up and become so beautiful, I really didn't react. Okay, Ain! Don't cry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
Whoever made her cry should comfort her. Vic could only help Ain sit up on the edge of the bed and then explain and apologize. Ain wasn't a child anymore; she had a curvaceous figure and a pretty face. It was quite unusual for Vic to be lying in his arms and hugging him like that.
It's okay to hold a child like this when they're little, but you have to be more careful when they grow up. Although Ain's body is that of an adult, her mind is still that of a child. She needs more experiences to mature mentally.
Vic offered further comfort and promises to Ain, finally calming her down. He also gave her one of the gravity bracelets. When Olvia saw it, she immediately returned the gravity bracelet to Vic, and then Vic took out another gravity bracelet and gave it to Olvia.
His gravity bracelet was specially made, not something an ordinary person like Olvia could use casually. Luckily, Olvia wasn't at the point where she needed to do weight training yet, otherwise, if she made a mistake, she might have been crushed into a pile of minced meat by Vic's gravity bracelet.
Rebecca then recounted what happened after Vic fell into a coma. In those two months, another year had passed. She showed Vic the newspapers and the wanted poster, but by then, Vic was completely at peace!
We've killed all the Celestial Dragons, so what else is unacceptable? Now we need to replan our future path, and of course, the most important thing right now is to repel the first wave of pursuit from the Navy and the World Government.
As long as these pursuers can't do anything to them, the World Government and the Navy will have to turn a blind eye to him, just like they did with Whitebeard and Big Mom. They won't easily clash with him unless they have absolute certainty.
