A few days later, only Vic and Olvia remained at the camp; everyone else had left to continue their training.
Vic did not erase their memories of the illusion, otherwise the previous willpower training would have been in vain. Willpower training does not strengthen the body; it targets the mind and consciousness.
Willpower is related to memory. If a person loses their memory, even if their willpower was once as strong as steel, their personality will change due to the loss of memory. This is just like how some people's personalities change drastically after losing their memory!
However, some people are born with a strong will. Even if they lose their memories, their will will not change much. But such people are ultimately a minority!
As long as Rebecca and the others retain these memories, they won't slack off any longer. They don't want to see what happens in the illusion become reality; otherwise, wouldn't their experiences in the illusion have been for nothing?
Olvia voluntarily stayed to take care of Vic's daily life, and Vic did not refuse. Even if a great war were to break out in the future, Olvia was not his main force. Vic's requirements for her were not that demanding. As long as she could develop the Table-Table Fruit's power well, a little weakness in Haki would not have a big impact!
It's not that someone's Haki stronger than hers can nullify her Devil Fruit ability. There's a hierarchy between Haki and Devil Fruit abilities. Law was able to cut through Vergo's entire body covered in Armament Haki on Punk Hazard not because his Haki stronger Vergo's, but because his developed Devil Fruit ability overwhelmed Vergo's Armament Haki.
When Shanks used Conqueror's Haki to suppress Ryokugyu outside Wano Country, causing him to revert to his original form, it was the other way around; Haki Fruit ability.
Devil Fruit abilities and Haki are two different power systems. The conflict between them is not based on the user's own Haki, but rather on the collision between the two power systems, without any other additional conditions!
Olvia's battlefields were all constructed by herself, and they were not ordinary places. As long as the opponent's Haki was not as strong as the abilities she had developed, they were basically at the mercy of this creator goddess. She could fight ten against one without any problem, because that was her world!
" Vic! Robin's bounty has gone up again, is there going to be a problem?"
After bringing Vic food, Olvia didn't leave immediately. Instead, she asked about her worries: Robin's bounty had changed after the Dressrosa incident.
"Don't worry, it's only 130 million Beli. That's nothing. It might be close to 1 billion in a few days. That's when you should be worried."
Her ability to use Ancient Script is no secret. Anyone with ambitions for the One Piece is keeping an eye on her, and the World Government, which wants to conceal the Void Century, is not ignoring her either. Robin is now in the eye of the storm!
"What should we do, Vic? Can you help her?"
Olvia was unaware, but Vic did. Because of the sudden appearance of Momonosuke crew, Luffy and Law had already set their sights on Kaido. Whether it was to resolve the hidden dangers left by Doflamingo or to help Momonosuke drive away Kaido, their adventure had gone astray!
Originally, Wano Country was near the end of the latter half of the New World, but these two pirate crews had arrived there in a very short time. Although most of the New World's waters had been divided up by the Four Emperors, their speed was still too fast!
Having sailed this far, the Road Poneglyph become paramount. But even with the Road Poneglyph, you still need someone who understands Ancient Script systems. And Robin's ability to write Ancient Script is known worldwide—isn't that a highly sought-after asset?
After the Wano Country arc, she became the most dangerous member of the Straw Hat Pirates besides Luffy. However, with Aokiji joining the crew now, the problem shouldn't be too serious, so Vic isn't too worried.
" Robin has a good team, and they can still protect her for now, so you don't need to worry too much. Robin hasn't been idle these past two years either; she's become stronger!"
With Luffy transformed Luffy Nika and former Marine Admiral Aokiji around, the only way to harm Robin would be to deploy the Holy Knights. Other royal crews, even the Red Hair Pirates, would have a hard time doing so, except for Vic's pirate crew.
Why do Ancient Script bring such misfortune to people? We lost our youth and family because of them, Ohara was destroyed because of them, Saul turned against his friend because of them, Robin was hunted down because of them, and now they have become objects of contention. Is there really no place for Ancient Script in this world?
Olvia was somewhat lost in thought. Her entire life had been entangled in Ancient Script, and now her daughter was also caught up in Ancient Script. It seemed as if her family's fate was bound to Ancient Script. What was the point of all this? What burdened them so heavily? Had everything they had done over the years truly been worth it? She was confused!
"It'll be soon! You'll soon find out what you and Robin are carrying. It's not that the world can't tolerate Ancient Script, but that what Ancient Script represents is too heavy!"
It represents the outcome of a struggle between two forces or ideologies, but Ancient Script is merely the surface of that struggle. If Ancient Script were to completely disappear or become unrecognizable, then the World Government would have won. However, if even one person were to guide it to its ultimate destination, then the other force would have triumphed!
Vic doesn't know why Joy Boy fought against the current World Government 800 years ago, but Vic is very dissatisfied with his current "living environment." He doesn't care what Joy Boy was like 800 years ago; he's going to fight anyway. He doesn't want a world ruled by the World Government, so he'll just tear it down and start over!
Vic didn't say anything more. Almost everyone who goes to sea has their own story, some are complicated and some are simple!
After letting Olvia leave Vic immediately returned to his room because he saw Ben's reflection in the small bronze mirror on his wrist—a signal they had agreed upon: something had happened in Mary Geoise!
Ben returned to the Mirror World before Vic ended the illusion. He didn't meet with Rebecca and the others. The fewer people who knew Ben's identity, the safer it was, and Vic was quite careful about this.
"How's it going?"
"Fighting has broken out in Mary Geoise! A naval admiral and a revolutionary army commander are at it; it's complete chaos!"
When Vic arrived at the full-length mirror in the room, Ben led him into the Mirror World. After asking a question, Vic looked at the mirrors that Ben was pointing to.
The mirrors come in all shapes and sizes, representing their appearance in the real world. The images inside are reflections of these mirrors. The images in the mirrors are chaotic, with flames, smoke, and vibrations appearing from time to time. There are very few mirrors that actually show fighting scenes.
The images that are usually reflected in the glass of a window are very short-lived. Some images are shattered by the aftershocks of the battle within seconds. You can only occasionally see images of Ryokugyu, Fujitora, Morley, Karasu, and others fighting. More often, you see Celestial Dragons running around like headless flies, while Sabo has never been seen.
"Ignorance is bliss! These few people dare to invade Mary Geoise. We have to go, or the Revolutionary Army's cadres will be crippled."
Looking at the scene in the mirror, Vic thought to himself, "Not to mention the old coin Imu, the Holy Knights would be enough to give them a hard time, not to mention there's Marine Admiral there too!"
Although Sabo and his crew could Mary Geoise undetected thanks to Morley's Push-Push Fruit powers, the final outcome would still depend on strength. Even if their Army Commander quite powerful, their opponents were not only strong but also outnumbered. How could they possibly win?
Because the Holy Land incident happened alongside the Wano Country arc, but was only shown interspersed after the Wano Country arc ended, and was considered a flashback, Vic didn't know how it ended in the original story. So he decided to go and see!
