The pirate ship slowly sailed towards Whole Cake Island, seeing many ships with various flags heading towards the Whole Cake Island from different directions, including many ships flying Big Mom's flag.
Rebecca and the others guessed that the people invited by the Big Mom to the wedding were also some who were transporting supplies and some were prominent figures from the territory. The Homies scattered in the sea for surveillance seemed to be in hibernation, not afraid that someone would sneak in and cause trouble. Oh! They are the ones who are planning to cause trouble! Well, that's fine, this is good.
Vic is now a very famous pirate. Even without the World Government's publicity, when Vic's pirate ship approached Whole Cake Island, there were almost no other ships in the water in front of them. Seeing the markings on Vic's ship, they all consciously made way for them.
Vic is now essentially a licensed pirate operating between the pirate world and the World Government. Vic can take action against anyone who comes to the wedding, so no one wants to mess with him.
"You're here! This way, please. I'll take you to see your mother!"
Katakuri and Cracker greeted Vic and his companions on the shore, showing that they were being treated with great respect. However, Katakuri became somewhat intimidated upon seeing Vic!
Cracker was alright; he was mostly unconscious last time and didn't witness Vic's Yamato and terror. He only knew that Vic was a very strong young man.
However, Vic's attire was somewhat different today, which made him take a few more glances. Vic had been developing his Devil Fruit ability recently, so he released the Thunder Drum, which he hadn't used in a long time, and it floated behind his head. It looked mysterious and powerful, with a kind of divine sense. People on the shore looked at this place with curiosity.
" Katakuri! Do you know that mysterious man in black? Could you introduce him to me?"
After disembarking, Vic turned to the tall Katakuri standing beside him and asked, "What if they know each other?" Although he was certain that the black-robed man was God Realm powerhouse, someone Big Mom and Katakuri couldn't possibly know, he still wondered.
Vic was unaware of the God Realm, nor did he know that the black-robed man was God Realm. Therefore, he was eager to witness the black-robed man's use of the Laws to confirm his suspicions.
If the black-robed man had used the Power of Law on him before, he guessed that the black-robed man had most likely comprehended Laws Law of Space, since he had been imprisoned using the Law of Space last time. So what was the relationship between this black-robed man and the Dimensional Ring in his hand?
The Dimensional Ring was clearly crafted by cutting out a space. When Vic first obtained the ring, Vic thought it was crafted by someone who Awakening spatial abilities. Now it seems that only Law God has comprehended the Law of Space could craft it!
Therefore, Vic suspected that the man in black robes was the one who crafted the Dimensional Ring, and that the Black-Robed Law God was the Law God who stood against the World Government and would be a powerful ally in the future to fight against the World Government. He wanted to get help and guidance from the man in black robes, just like in the illusion he created, to help them become stronger!
"I don't know that powerful person, and Mom didn't explain it in detail at the time. You can ask her directly later; I think she'll tell you!"
Katakuri had never seen a powerful figure like the man in black robes before. Even Rocks, whom he had met when he was a child, did not exert as much pressure on him as the man in black robes, and that was only because the man in black robes had not released his aura against them.
Therefore, Katakuri couldn't imagine that the man in black robes could be one of the powerful figures he knew. As for his mother? He wasn't so sure. For most of his childhood, he and his mother lived separately. He really didn't know if his mother knew that man in black robes. His mother had too many old lovers, so it was hard to say.
"Oh! You don't recognize him! That's such a shame. If that man in black could teach you a few moves, you'd benefit from them for life. What a pity!"
Katakuri's words confirmed some of Vic's suspicions, and Big Mom most likely didn't recognize him either. The reason she didn't elaborate was probably because she simply didn't know him; how could she possibly explain? He was God Realm powerhouse! So what if you're the Emperor of the Sea?
The gap is still too big. Others are living history, while Big Mom and the others are just passersby. Vic is more convinced that the powerful Law God only took action because Katakuri is a pirate with some talent.
More likely, it was the Dimensional Ring on his finger that attracted the Black-Robed Law God. Vic even guessed that the Law God had been secretly watching him, observing him, and knowing what kind of person he was and what he had done.
With hundreds or thousands of years of experience in judging people, it wouldn't be difficult for the Black-Robed Law God to predict that he would most likely defect from the Navy in the future, which is probably why he didn't take the Dimensional Ring from him.
Even if he ultimately misjudged Vic, the Black-Robed Law God still had the power to seize the Dimensional Ring at any time, preventing Vic from knowing about his ascension to godhood within the tree.
Therefore, after he became a pirate, the man in black robes hoped that he would be the one who would become a god. What happened next was a natural progression. He found the secret of the Soul Tree, obtained a lot of useful information, and learned about the goal ahead.
After the Big Mom called Vic, Vic thought of this problem. He wanted to find the powerful Law God who might be secretly observing him, but just like when they were face to face, his Observation Haki couldn't detect the person at all.
Of course, it's also possible that he's overthinking things; that powerful figure may not have paid any attention to him at all, and it's all just his wishful thinking.
If Vic wants to confirm this, he can only ask Katakuri and Big Mom, as they are the two most likely to know the Black-Robed Law God. It seems he will have to return empty-handed on this matter, but he still has Wendy's matter to deal with here, so his trip wasn't in vain.
Having received no useful information, Vic stopped talking and walked along the wide avenue, inhaling the sweet aromas wafting from all directions. The buildings on Whole Cake Island were mostly made of sweets like chocolate and candy.
The largest building directly in front of the main road is where the Big Mom lives, a castle shaped like a cake. Vic could already sense the powerful aura emanating from it!
There were other auras as well, but they were still far from that powerful aura. In other words, apart from himself, there were no other powerful figures of the same level who came to the tea party. Kaido, Whitebeard, and the others did not come.
It's also possible that the Big Mom didn't invite them at all. They all have their own territories in the New World, and although they were on the same boat before, they are now competitors. It's normal that she didn't invite them.
She couldn't control anyone of the same level. If they caused trouble, it would be the Big Mom who would lose face, and a good thing would turn into a bad thing. In the Big Mom's eyes, Vic might be someone she could control, but she didn't consider him a person of the same level!
