Olvia had no idea of the true significance of Joy Boy's Poneglyph; the real history was likely placed in Laugh Tale, and wouldn't have been given much space.
Other Poneglyph records are scarce; most of them are likely intended to provide foundational knowledge for later generations. Otherwise, how could such a behemoth as the World Government be overthrown?
So it's a bit difficult for Olvia to find information about the Void Century in the Poneglyph, but isn't the real purpose of these archaeologists to decipher these Ancient Script? As for understanding that Void Century, go to the Laugh Tale, Laugh Tale; the ultimate hope lies there.
" Olvia! Don't be too disappointed. The history of the Void Century will eventually come to light. We just need to wait quietly. What we need to do is to bring down the World Government and the Celestial Dragons after the truth comes out!"
So we need to start building up our strength now. I'll tell others to focus their energy on Haki, but your Devil Fruit ability has a very high ceiling, so you can spend more time developing it. It would be even better if you could Devil Fruit Awakening your Devil Fruit sooner."
Vic now has the ability to create illusions. It's a bit difficult and dangerous to help others master Future Sight Observation Haki within those illusions, but mastering Ryuo isn't as difficult. It's just a bit mentally taxing, but it takes much less time. For Olvia, Vic is more concerned with her development of her Devil Fruit ability.
"Alright, go back and rest. Let's not tell them about the Poneglyph yet. It's a bit unfair to them, making them misunderstand for so long."
Vic stood up, patted Olvia on the shoulder, and said that the two of them had finished reading all five Poneglyph and had been sitting there thinking a lot. The most valuable one that Vic obtained was the one from the Dimensional Ring.
What was most valuable to Olvia was Joy Boy's apology, but it was pitifully short. However, even a little bit of content is better than nothing.
After reading all the Poneglyph, she understood why the World Government placed such importance on archaeology. Leaving aside the truth of the Void Century, the Ancient Weapon alone posed a significant threat to them. Therefore, Vic's consideration was correct: it was better not to let too many people know.
"Well... I'll go back and rest then. I'll prioritize developing my abilities!"
Olvia wanted to say something, but somehow she swallowed the words that were about to come out, and only after she finished speaking did she get up and walk outside.
Vic watched Olvia's departing figure without saying a word. That night, Olvia had a dream in which she dreamt of Vic, and that the two of them did something indescribable!
Although it was just a dream, Olvia felt it was very real because when she woke up in the morning, the sheets were soaked, and her underwear had been taken off and thrown aside at some point.
The intense physical pleasure still lingered in her mind, as if she had truly spent the entire night with Vic.
Reason told her it couldn't be real, but after last night's dream, Olvia felt refreshed, both physically and mentally. The negative emotions from the long period of pent-up frustration and abstinence had all disappeared, and she felt as if she had been reborn.
When Olvia appeared before everyone, they could all see that she was different. Although they couldn't quite put their finger on what was different, she just looked more charming.
Only Mantis knew that it was the unique charm of a mature woman who had been thoroughly satisfied; his gaze toward Vic carried a hint of teasing.
He never suspected anything when the two met in secret before, because the difference between before and after something happens can be huge. He's been there, and he can tell at a glance. But this time, Olvia is clearly different. Has she finally made her move?
Vic ignored Mantis's mocking expression. He had indeed intervened last night, but he hadn't fought personally. He had only used the illusion and the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to help Olvia relax.
To make Olvia believe it was a dream, he abruptly ended the illusion, so Olvia felt as if she had woken up directly from a dream, which is why she was so certain that what she had experienced in the illusion was a dream.
However, with the help of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power, the desired effect has already been achieved. The secretion of certain hormones and enzymes can indeed make people feel happy, and when combined with that memorable dream, the effect is more than doubled.
This caused Olvia to blush when she saw Vic. Fortunately, the mask concealed her embarrassment, but she still felt a little guilty. Last night, she had wanted to tell Vic that since they had already been misunderstood, they might as well just confirm it.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it. She was more than ten years older than Vic, and Vic was such an outstanding man who would never lack for all kinds of women. Why would he be interested in her, an older woman who had already given birth?
So she didn't have the courage to say it, but that night she dreamed of doing that with Vic, and when she woke up in the morning she saw that the sheets were soaked. She was so ashamed.
People say that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. Olvia was at the age of being like a wolf and a tiger, and she had been celibate for a long time. The reason she didn't think about these things before was because she had focused her energy on studying the Poneglyph and living in fear of the World Government. Survival was difficult enough, so she didn't have the mind to think about those things.
However, things changed completely after Vic's pirate crew. She no longer needed to worry about the Poneglyph, and the World Government's pursuers became Vic's targets for sharpening her blade. The pursuit had taken a different turn, and her mindset was completely different. Naturally, the things she thought about changed as well.
It was precisely because Vic recognized this that he helped Olvia release her negative emotions and physical exhaustion, which greatly benefited her future life and spiritual practice.
Vic relayed the message that Ban had sent to everyone not long ago: the Five Elders acted quickly, and the World Economy News had already published a clarification article about Vic's killing of Celestial Dragons this morning.
The news reports that someone else was responsible for the murders of the Celestial Dragons, government agents, and civilians. The World Government has now uncovered the truth and identified the mastermind, who is now wanted by the authorities.
Vic was originally there to rescue them, but he was tricked by the cunning murderer who pinned all the blame on him. The news report ended with the World Government apologizing to Vic, essentially saying that they had wronged Vic and his companions and Vic the government wanted to compensate Vic.
If Vic still has any loyalty to the government, he is welcome to return and work for the government. This news not only cleared Vic of all guilt for killing the Celestial Dragons, but also paved the way for him to become Shichibukai later.
When Vic's name appeared on the list of the Shichibukai, no one found it strange or abrupt; in fact, many civilians said that the government had made a good choice.
Vic was originally a Marine, but he was wrongly accused and forced to become a pirate. Now that the government needs him, he immediately came back to work. He still has his heart set on the government, which is much better than those pirates.
They believed that Vic, a former Navy officer, would not exercise his so-called legal right of plunder, and would still protect them, the common people, just like the original Navy. This would allow the Shichibukai system to be accepted more quickly. The Five Elders were truly masters of chess, manipulating their pieces at will, and able to use anything to their advantage.
