Back then, Roger had to act secretly to obtain her Poneglyph rubbings, but Vic took them away so forcefully. This was an utter humiliation for Big Mom; she had never suffered such an insult in her life. Katakuri, Perospero, and several of her more prominent children quickly came to stop her, saying, "You can't mess with Vic! You Headliners!"
However, the Big Mom still couldn't swallow her anger. In the end, it was the head chef Streusen, who came over to persuade her, and Big Mom finally gave up the idea of going to fight him. To the Big Mom, Streusen was like a father figure; they had been together since she was a child, so his position in her heart was naturally different!
The Big Mom would still listen to what Streusen said, and considering Vic's strange abilities, she relented. She couldn't win! She really couldn't win! Chasing after him would only lead to further humiliation!
After Katakuri finished arranging the reconstruction of Whole Cake Island, he went to the waters where Wendy's country was located to see how Vic managed to take so many people away. If Vic needed help, he was willing to provide some ships and build a good relationship with Vic.
But when he arrived there, he found it was a vast ocean; there was no one left, no islands to be seen.
He thought he had gone to the wrong place, and it took him a long time to realize that the island had really disappeared. He also gained a new understanding of Vic's methods. He had taken an island away silently, something even his mother couldn't do. Vic seemed increasingly unfathomable to him, and he decided that he should never be an enemy of him again.
Katakuri is overthinking it. This is something Vic couldn't have done; only Rebecca, the Devil Fruit User, could do it. Vic only has the ability to destroy an island, not to move it.
At this moment, the island was flying towards Titan Island at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Vic and the others were also invited to the palace by Wendy's parents, who were great benefactors of their country.
They had tried so many methods in the past but could not break free from Big Mom's control over their lifespans. It was a miracle that their daughter, who had only been away for a few years, had brought back such a powerful ally!
Although Wendy often talks to her father and mother on the phone, she rarely mentions Vic and his companions, for fear that her parents might let slip to the Big Mom Pirates and expose Vic and his crew.
It's important to know that Vic and his crew only rose to prominence in the last few years. A few years ago, they didn't have the strength to fight against Big Mom Pirates. So the two elders were very curious about how Wendy met Vic and his crew.
They have decided to include Wendy's experiences over the years in the nation's history, and then erect a bronze statue of Vic and his group in the central square of the royal city to be passed down through generations. This is a debt of gratitude for saving the country, and no amount of effort is too much.
"I really didn't expect this! In just two years, that kid Vic has already reached our level. He even defeated Linlin. I thought that Red-Hair Shanks would be the first junior to grow up, but he's surpassed us. He's actually a few years younger than Red-Hair! Young people these days are really scary!"
In a certain sea area of New World, Whitebeard, sitting casually in the main seat of the Moby Dick's deck drinking, thought to himself that he had already received a message from Whole Cake Island.
" Linlin! You're still too weak! You were actually defeated by a mere brat! You're a disgrace to the Emperor of the Sea! I'd rather be the Emperor of the Sea! Even though you're the kid I chose, that's no excuse for your defeat! Waaaaaah..."
On Onigashima in Wano Country the New World, Kaido also received news of Big Mom's defeat, and he cried uncontrollably while muttering to himself.
It took Vic's pirate ship about a month to travel from Titan Island to Whole Cake Island. Of course, this was because the pirate ship wasn't sailing at full speed; Rebecca's speed in moving islands was not as fast as that of a warship.
So even from the air, it would take more than a month to reach the waters around Titan Island. Vic didn't have that much time to waste on the journey, so after Wendy and Barnett's wedding was over, he turned into Inazuma and disappeared from the floating island.
Yes, Wendy, having resolved the kingdom's crisis, finally married Barnett, much to Rebecca's envy. She frequently tried to wink at Vic, but Vic didn't respond at all.
Rebecca even blamed herself for Vic's departure, thinking that she had pushed him too far. She just couldn't understand why Vic would ignore her obvious advances, even though she had almost crawled into his bed with him. She really couldn't figure it out.
Little did Rebecca know that Vic had already been having an affair with Gion, and that Gion had given birth to twins for Vic. Fearing that Rebecca wouldn't be able to accept this, Vic had never been honest with her and therefore dared not have anything happen between them.
In fact, Rebecca didn't mind that Vic had other women at all. Besides, this woman was Gion, a woman who would give her life for Vic. Vic was absolutely worth having. If Rebecca knew that Vic was worried about this, she might have already crawled into his bed.
It's just that Vic is still clinging to his preconceived notions from his past life, which is why he's ignoring Rebecca's persistent attempts to get him to stop!
Gion, on the other hand, didn't mind Vic taking Rebecca. To Gion, Rebecca and Vic were a match made in heaven, and she was the one who came later.
She couldn't control herself; she couldn't suppress her feelings for Vic, and Vic. She felt ashamed to face Rebecca, but all three of them buried these feelings deep in their hearts.
Instead of returning directly to Titan Island Titan Island, Vic landed on a deserted island a day's flight away, where he had just Awakening the power of the Speed-Speed Fruit.
However, it's only just Awakening; the Rumble-Rumble Fruit hasn't Awakening yet, and there's still the God Realm above it. Vic is still far from that level, so he needs to find a place to properly comprehend it.
Titan Island and Raijin Island are not the best places. One has gravity and the other has lightning, both of which are external interferences that prevent him from focusing all his attention on comprehending the Laws.
So Vic chose this deserted island where it was spring-like all year round. Although there were many animals on the island, they dared not approach him because of his natural aura, so he was completely undisturbed.
He drank water when he was thirsty and grilled some small animals on the island when he was hungry. Vic spent a month practicing asceticism on the island and only returned to Titan Island after receiving a call from Rebecca.
Rebecca had just placed the island in the waters near Titan Island, and when she returned to Titan Island, she found someone waiting for them.
The visitor was looking for Vic. Rebecca and the others didn't know him, but he didn't seem hostile, so Rebecca contacted Vic directly via Den Den Mushi.
"Oh! It's you!"
