Vic didn't overlook Blackbeard's humanity, but he underestimated Blackbeard's human nature! So his initial direction was wrong!
Blackbeard is indeed cautious, but if he knew beforehand that all three captains possessed rubbings of the originals, and that Van Augur was a trump card capable of leaving at any time, why did he choose to start tailing them from Wano Country? Couldn't he have simply arrived at their destination earlier and waited for them to catch him in the act?
Vic steered the small boat to full speed ahead, already faster than the speedboats he had in his previous life.
Winner Island, Future Island, and Elbaf are all the next islands magnetically linked to Wano Country, and their directions are not drastically different.
Although turning around would add a lot of distance, Vic's small boat was incredibly fast, much faster than Law's submarine. Even if he turned around now to catch up, the difference wouldn't be significant. Vic wasn't too worried that Law would be killed by Blackbeard before he got there!
"Hello! Is this Robin? This is Vic!"
"..."
"I need to Luffy about something. Give him the Den Den Mushi."
"..."
" Luffy! It's me. Do you have a Den Den Den Mushi) to contact Law?"
"..."
"Call him and tell him not to rush on his way; there are wild animals waiting for him ahead! It's very dangerous!"
Vic had made two preparations. The small boat was traveling at full speed. He had Eternal Pose for all three islands, which he had prepared in advance, so there wouldn't be any problems with the direction.
Meanwhile, Luffy instructed to contact Law, warning him of the danger ahead. If Law was cautious and slowed down, Vic would have more time to prepare. He didn't want any more unexpected events to occur, nor did he want Blackbeard to escape from him again!
Luffy quickly replied using Robin's private Den Den Mushi, saying that he had already warned Torao, but Torao seemed a little skeptical. Moreover, after fighting a Four Emperors, Torao's confidence seemed to have increased, and he was no longer afraid to fight strong opponents, even seeming somewhat eager to try!
A slight irritation arose in Vic's heart, but he immediately suppressed it with his powerful mental strength, and his mind returned to clarity and calm!
The fact that things were spiraling out of control made Vic a little irritated. He wasn't annoyed that Law wouldn't listen to advice, but rather that Blackbeard was the root of the problem!
Vic has failed to defeat Blackbeard multiple times, as if the man is blessed by the heavens. This is exactly what Vic is worried about. With the enemy surrounded by a lucky aura, in the end, only he and his family and friends will suffer. He doesn't want to see that day come!
Therefore, Blackbeard has become a major worry for Vic. If he doesn't get rid of him, Vic will always have a lingering unease in his heart!
Vic originally Luffy Luffy remind Law, out of consideration for their good relationship, that it would be a real shame if Law died at Blackbeard's hands!
But now that Law won't listen to advice, Vic doesn't care anymore. As long as Blackbeard doesn't deliver the food too quickly, Vic doesn't want Blackbeard to take advantage of him and leave, otherwise it would be like the situation on Amazon Lily!
Two more days passed, Vic's small boat finally arrived at the waters where Winner Island was located. At this time, the Blackbeard Pirates had already started a large-scale battle with the Heart Pirates!
Luffy ignored Vic's advice and instead arrived at Winner Island even faster. He was then ambushed by Blackbeard and his men, and the enemy's strength terrified him. He regretted not heeding Luffy's advice!
Because Jesus Burgess had already been killed by Vic, Blackbeard didn't bring the incredibly strong Jesus Burgess with him this time. However, he didn't bring any other people either; instead, he brought Van Augur, Doc Q, and Sickly Stronger, all of whom are powerful Devil Fruit users!
On the Heart Pirates' side, apart from Law and Bepo who can transform into Sulong by taking medicine, the strength of the others is too weak. They are far inferior to the Blackbeard Pirates ' executives and can only play a supporting role in the battle!
When Vic brought Hancock and Olvia to Winner Island, the battle between the two sides was already coming to an end. Law had been beaten into incapacitated by Blackbeard and was lying on the sidelines, his consciousness blurred!
Seeing that his beloved captain was about to be killed, Bepo was forced to have no other choice but to eat the Rumble Ball given to him by Chopper and transform into Sulong to fight for his life!
Bepo's transformation into the Sulong after taking drugs is quite impressive. Both his speed and strength have been greatly enhanced, especially his speed, which is now so fast that Blackbeard 'Bepo Observation Haki can't lock onto him!
So both Blackbeard and Van Augur suffered minor losses at Bepo's hands without knowing the full story.
Bepo knew that even in his Moon form, he couldn't defeat Blackbeard and his crew, especially since Rumble Ball had a time limit. Therefore, his goal was always to rescue Law. Injuring Blackbeard and Van Augur was also to create an opportunity to rescue Law!
Finally, Bepo did find an opportunity. He grabbed Blackbeard's chest with one claw, causing him to scream in pain and fall to the ground. Then, he moved to Law's side, picked Law up, and ran towards the sea. He knew that seawater could suppress Devil Fruit users, and this direction might be the only chance of survival!
Meanwhile, Van Oka had already drawn his sniper rifle and aimed at the figure that was rushing towards the beach like a phantom. His erratic, rapid movement was one thing, but running straight towards the sea? Did he really think a top sniper like Van Oka was a pushover?
Just as Van Augur was about to cripple the frizzy bear with a single shot and leave it behind, an extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki locked onto him. Van Augur felt completely paralyzed, and a strong sense of life and death washed over him, making him want to teleport away immediately!
However, the Conqueror's Haki enveloping his entire body completely severed his connection with the Warp-Warp Fruit's ability. He couldn't even move an inch, let alone teleport away from here!
As Bepo fled, he seemed to sense something and glanced back as he ran. He saw a man's figure materializing from lightning behind the sniper who was aiming his gun at him!
Seeing that it was that man who had subdued Van Augur, who was aiming at him, Bepo no longer hesitated. He plunged into the sea and, with his captain, drove away from Winner Island!
Thus, the ambush between the Heart Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates ended with the Heart Pirates suffering a complete defeat!
" Olvia!"
"Exist!"
Upon receiving Vic's call, Olvia instantly conjured a Great Round Table in front of her using her ability. Without a word, Vic shoved Van Augur into the Desktop World with a single palm strike. With Conqueror's Haki suppressing Devil Fruit abilities, Van Augur had no power to resist!
As soon as Vic struck, he felt a gust of wind behind his head, accompanied by a strong tearing sensation. He quickly transformed into lightning and fled from the spot, then reformed his body next to Hancock!
The one who just attacked Vic was Blackbeard, and he used the same Tremor-Tremor Fruit power that Vic had been using to stop Blackbeard from obtaining it!
Blackbeard's combat instincts were still very strong. Although he was scratched by Bepo, he only bled a little and felt a lot of pain, but he was not seriously injured. He didn't take Bepo seriously at all!
With Van Augur, Doc Q, and Stronger Stronger around, he wasn't worried about the other party escaping at all, but the sudden appearance of Vic shocked him!
Especially since Vic seized his lifeline Van Augur as soon as he made his move, Blackbeard immediately became furious and unleashed a powerful attack that shattered space!
If Vic hadn't reacted quickly and thrown Van Augur into Olvia's Desktop World immediately, Blackbeard might have actually freed Van Augur from being controlled, and Vic's plan might not have succeeded!
When Vic received intelligence that Blackbeard had appeared near Winner Island, he could have transformed into lightning and arrived within hours, but he didn't, because his target wasn't just Blackbeard; he also had his eye on Van Augur's teleportation ability!
When Vic missed Blackbeard on Amazon Lily last time, he coveted spatial abilities. Since Blackbeard happened to have one, he could just take them all down at once!
