Vic did not leave the Sabaody Archipelago, because Ban was stationed there. The Sabaody Archipelago has a special location and is considered to be the center of the world.
This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and it's located at the intersection of the Grand Line and the Red Line, giving it a geographical advantage for gathering and disseminating intelligence from all over the world. That's why Ban set up an intelligence post here, which he personally oversaw.
However, Ban rarely shows his face anymore. Some leaders of major powers and some important figures have already established contact with him. He usually contacts them via Den Den Mushi when he needs intelligence, and for smaller orders, there are people arranged by intelligence points to handle them.
Ban's current public identity is that of a relatively neutral intelligence dealer. He takes orders not only from underground kings and pirates, but also from the World Government and the Navy. So for now, he is in a state of not offending anyone. With some people arranged by Vic to protect him, his safety is guaranteed.
However, if Ban's identity is exposed later and it is discovered that he is part of Vic's faction, the World Government will definitely not let him off easily. The assassins they send will be at least CP0 agents. At that point, Ban will need to have some means of self-protection.
Regardless of his fighting prowess, he should at least be good at escaping. In terms of fighting ability, Vic used his abilities to help him Awakening Armament Haki and Observation Haki a long time ago. What happens next depends on his own training.
As for escaping, Vic brought him the Mirror-Mirror Fruit today, so from now on he only needs to place a mirror in each room, and if things go wrong, he can immediately dive into the Mirror World.
After finding Ban at the base, Vic handed over the Mirror-Mirror Fruit Mirror-Mirror Fruit him and explained to Ban everything he knew about its abilities, including some of his guesses.
The Mirror-Mirror Fruit's ability to escape is secondary; its most important ability is gathering intelligence. It can be used to obtain important and dangerous information!
Before leaving, Vic had instructed Ban to keep a close eye on certain people, to determine the anchor points of these key individuals in the Mirror World, and, if possible, to gather these anchor point mirrors together for easier observation and reconnaissance.
Based on Vic's understanding of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, such a function should be achievable. After all, the Mirror World is the world of ability users, so making some simple changes and adjustments to their own world shouldn't be difficult, right?
After giving Ban some instructions, Vic quietly left the Sabaody Archipelago without saying goodbye to Tesoro and Dragon, or going to the Shakky's Rip-off Bar money from Rayleigh.
After rapidly ascending and disappearing into the clouds, he transformed into Inazuma and vanished into the clouds, heading towards Titan Island!
Vic's life remained peaceful and uneventful this year, but this auction provided a welcome change. Rayleigh's miraculous actions opened up New World world for Vic, but Vic is still young and doesn't need to do such things!
Moreover, having Pure Gold, he may never need to rely on Armament Haki to maintain appearances again, allowing him to use his Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability in even more creative ways!
The biggest gain from this auction was finding a major investor for the Revolutionary Army, which is more important than the Devil Fruit and other treasures he acquired. The Revolutionary Army's development should accelerate, and it might even attract a powerful Celestial Dragons Law God. Therefore, Vic needs to hurry back to train and become stronger!
When Vic materialized into a human form from Inazuma above Titan Island, he looked down and saw two people engaged in a fierce battle on the island below. The main characters in the battle were Rebecca and Yamato, while everyone else was watching.
At this moment, the two were engaged in Conqueror's Coating battle, and the powerful soul shockwaves reverberated in all directions of the island. Fortunately, Titan Island was Vic's stronghold, and there were usually no outsiders here. This island was also not suitable for the weak to live on.
Moreover, the island has been subjected to the test of gravity for a long time, making it incredibly sturdy, even stronger than many metals. Therefore, even their Conqueror's Coating clashes would not cause any substantial damage to the island, making it an excellent battleground for powerful individuals, as it would not collapse from a single blow.
Rebecca is of normal female height, around 1.7 meters, while Yamato is over 2.6 meters tall, almost a meter taller Rebecca. Therefore, the scene of the two clashing with their weapons looks very awkward.
Vic has many female companions. Apart from Yamato, who is unusually tall, the others are all of normal height, with little difference in height, but they all have long legs.
After bringing Vic back, Uta also gave her a period of special training, and now she has grown into a mature young woman. At this moment, she is watching the two fight and cheering them on.
Olga sat on the ground, holding snacks in her hands, watching the battle while eating them. This habit of eating snacks was something she developed after she came out of the giant lantern man's belly.
Kuina stood to one side, her hand on the hilt of her sword, staring intently at the two people in the arena, as if she really wanted to join in.
Ain and Olvia were snuggled together, whispering something. Olvia was somewhat distracted as she answered Ain's questions, watching the two locked in fierce combat with a worried expression, fearing that someone might get hurt in the battle.
Wendy, the only one with a man, was naturally with her boyfriend. The two of them seemed isolated, with everyone else keeping their distance. Perhaps the stench of love was too overwhelming, and no one wanted to be near them. Meanwhile, the other men were all intently watching the battle.
Vic attracted everyone's attention after landing, but Rebecca and Yamato only glanced at him before focusing their attention on their opponent.
The others quickly turned their attention back to the battlefield, while only Ain and Olvia came to Vic's side to inquire about his well-being and ask if he needed to wash up or have something to eat.
Kuina gave Vic a deep look before turning her head away. Barnett and Wendy were talking about something, and Barnett's face was flushed. Wendy was probably discussing some trick with him that night, and the two seemed oblivious to Vic's return.
Uta gave Vic a big, bright smile, and then went on to cheer him on. Uta was a very lively girl; although she arrived late, she got along well with everyone.
This is also Vic picked her up early, before Uta developed such a gloomy personality. In addition, with so many people accompanying her over the years, including so many girls, her slight gloom has completely disappeared. Now she has appointed herself as the musician of the Thunder God Pirates, and no one else has any objections. Uta's singing is indeed beautiful; it's an innate talent, and you can't argue with that.
