Vic returned to human form from his elemental Inazuma state and saw a tall, familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of the Titan Island base.
It's unfamiliar because I've only seen him once, but familiar because he's the one who modified this person's appearance. That's right, the person who came to Titan Island is the Fish-Man Fisher Tiger.
He retained the appearance that Vic had modified for him, so much so that after several years, no one could recognize him, making him very safe. He also spent several years training in the New World, greatly improving his strength.
For the past few years, Fisher Tiger has been keeping an eye on Vic's group's movements, hoping to repay their kindness. Recently, Vic became Shichibukai, and Tiger finally learned that Vic had a fixed territory, so he came looking for him. However, when he arrived, Vic had already taken his men to Whole Cake Island, so he has been waiting for Vic's return on Titan Island.
You must join us!
"That's right! You saved my life, and I have nothing to repay you with but this life!"
Vic was surprised that Fisher Tiger had come to join his pirate crew. Fisher Tiger was Fish-Man slave who had been heartbroken by humans. In the original story, even when he was losing too much blood, he refused to use human blood for transfusions and eventually died from blood loss.
Although Fisher Tiger didn't experience human betrayal because of Vic's arrival, his attitude towards humans wouldn't change much from his past as a slave. Even so, he still Vic's group.
This is a true chivalrous man who always repays kindness. Perhaps Jinbe's reputation for chivalry comes from being influenced by Fisher Tiger. However, Fisher Tiger died in the original story, and it was Jinbe then that Jinbe earned his reputation as the Knight of the Sea.
Vic didn't reject Fisher Tiger's joining him. He welcomed such a loyal and righteous person. He and his companions, including Rebecca, didn't discriminate against anyone. In fact, most powerful people don't have such a concept of racial discrimination. People at different levels see the world differently, so they wouldn't even have such thoughts.
On the contrary, it is the ordinary people who are weak and have strong racial prejudices that are most easily swayed by public opinion, and the racial discrimination against Fish-Man is the Celestial Dragons ' conspiracy.
Fisher Tiger not only loyal and righteous, but his strength has also greatly improved. Vic can feel the powerful aura on him. Fisher Tiger's physical qualities have long been at the level to Awakening Haki, but he didn't understand Haki at all before, which delayed his Awakening of Haki.
After entering the New World and experiencing Haki, he quickly Awakening dual-color Haki. After several years of training, his Haki became quite formidable.
Moreover, Fisher Tiger is Fish-Man, making him the best lifeguard in a world filled with seawater. Vic's pirate crew has quite a few Devil Fruit users, so Vic is very satisfied with this partner.
With new crew members joining, Vic naturally had to throw a banquet. Now his pirate crew was an elite ten-person crew, and the ten of them sat around the campfire eating, drinking, chatting, and having fun.
Fisher Tiger sat next to Vic, Vic was imparting his training experience and guidance on the path ahead. Although Fisher Tiger was already a powerful individual who had Awakening both types of Haki, he was still somewhat lacking in the New World, and Vic needed to give him a boost.
Having learned about the experience and path of cultivation, he was about to cast an illusion on Fisher Tiger, which was the most time-efficient method, and Vic was already very familiar with it.
Vic stayed on Titan Island for a week. After the banquet that day, Vic took advantage of everyone's slightly drunken state to bring everyone into the illusion world. Fisher Tiger, Ain, Wendy, and Olvia's training in the illusion world was still mainly focused on Haki, while Vic arranged for the others to embark on the path of cultivation towards becoming Law God.
Those with Devil Fruit powers develop their abilities, while those without use them rely on weapons to comprehend their inner meaning. For those without Devil Fruit powers, comprehending the inner meaning is equivalent to eating Devil Fruit. Although it is more difficult, it does not have the weakness of being afraid of seawater and Seastone. It can be said that there are gains and losses!
This week was equivalent to half a year in the illusion. Vic did not continue to maintain the illusion, because if it went on for too long Rebecca and the others might starve to death in their real bodies. A week was the longest time Vic had ever considered.
Creating Vic also requires complete concentration and puts a lot of strain on the brain, so Vic couldn't be distracted during this time. It was as if he wasn't cultivating at all. He was still far from the Law God Realm, and it was impossible for him to stop cultivating himself and spend all his time assisting Rebecca and the others in their cultivation.
There were still about ten years left, so they could cultivate on their own. Vic only needed to grasp the general direction of their cultivation and occasionally guide them within the illusion. So, a week later, Vic left Titan Island.
Vic silently arrived at the living area behind the Marine Headquarters. He had lived here for a long time when he was a Marine and was very familiar with the place. In addition, Vic's super strength and ability to create illusions made him invisible to the ordinary Marines and their families. Vic walked step by step to the house where Gion lived.
Since Gion's pregnancy could no longer be hidden, Vice Admiral Tsuru summoned her back to Marine Headquarters to rest and prepare for childbirth. Gion herself knew that she could no longer continue to perform missions outside. If something happened and harmed Vic's child, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
So, under Vice Admiral Tsuru's care, Gion gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The two babies were very well-behaved and cute, offspring born from the best genes of both Vic and Gion.
Vice Admiral Tsuru also adored the two children and kept privately asking Gion who the father of the children was and why she hadn't come to see them during such an important event as the birth of her children. But Gion just wouldn't say.
Gion's pregnancy became a major topic of discussion at Marine Headquarters, with everyone speculating about the father's identity. Many also expressed regret, wondering how she could have gotten pregnant and how she could have been so cruelly involved.
At Marine Headquarters, Gion is the goddess of many, especially Chaton Tokikake. Every time he returns to Headquarters, he has to come and see Gion. Gion, Gion with a big belly and a child, is still so perfect, and she has become even more charming, which is very attractive to him!
Tokikake a vague idea of whose child Gion was, but he kept it to himself. Even Vice Admiral Tsuru had a slight suspicion, but neither of them said it. Vic was now a pirate, a thorn in the side of the World Government. Exposing him would not benefit Gion at all, only endanger them. The Pirate King Roger was a cautionary tale!
So for the past two years, the only way Vic could see his child was at Marine Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru wouldn't allow Gion to leave Marine Headquarters.
However, Vic was quite adept at concealing his presence, and with so many people at Marine Headquarters, no one could detect his arrival. Besides, Vic only visited once a year.
