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!
However, if only Vic had come to Winner Island, the situation that occurred earlier, where Blackbeard came to the rescue, would have happened. Without Olvia's Desktop World trapping Van Augur, Blackbeard might have actually found a chance to escape.
Even if Blackbeard is eventually captured by Vic, Van Augur will definitely find a chance to escape. Blackbeard's strength combined with the power of two Devil Fruits will allow him to hold Vic off for some time. Van Augur could easily teleport away if he finds even 0.2 seconds, but that's not what Vic wants!
Therefore, Vic must bring Olvia and Hancock with him to ensure that Van Augur's teleportation ability and Blackbeard's life are preserved without fail!
Olvia created Desktop World with her abilities, and she rules all the rules within it. Even if Van Augur has teleportation abilities in the space system, once he enters, he can forget about escaping by traversing space!
The rules set in the Desktop World do not support all Devil Fruit abilities from the outside world. This is the most fundamental rule that Olvia set in the Desktop World Desktop World; otherwise, how could Olvia have an overwhelming advantage in battles with other Devil Fruit users?
Unless the person who entered the Desktop World has reached the God Realm, or possesses an overwhelming Haki capable of suppressing Olvia's Devil Fruit power, it is clearly impossible for this person to be Van Augur!
Blackbeard was somewhat alarmed when he saw Van Augur being subdued in an instant; he still vividly remembered how he had escaped from Vic last time!
Moreover, even though he was severely injured when he managed to escape using teleportation, now it seems like Vic is specifically targeting him, not only sneaking up on him but also taking control of his trump card immediately. What does this mean?
This shows that Vic had planned how to deal with him all along. He thought he could become powerful just because he got the Tremor-Tremor ability, but it seems he's still not taken seriously!
Blackbeard doesn't believe Vic is unaware of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, especially since the Pirate Empress is standing right next to him. Now, a tough battle lies ahead. Can he win?
" Thunder God! We have no past grudges or present animosity, so why are you relentlessly pursuing me and trying to kill me? I, Teach, have never offended you or your allies, so why are you so hostile towards me?"
Blackbeard was furious. He really couldn't understand why Vic was targeting him. There was no direct conflict or hatred between them!
From the moment the two first met at Marine Headquarters, it was Vic who struck first. After that, Vic always treated him as an enemy, always ready to fight and kill him. He never provoked Vic!
While it's true that pirates are naturally in competition, shouldn't you at least have a legitimate reason for your actions? Just because you want to send Pops Bai to his death, you consider me an enemy? Your relationship isn't that good, is it?
Besides, even if I hadn't killed my Pops, he would have died at the hands of the Navy anyway. I just accelerated that process, so why is everyone keeping an eye on me?
"We have no grudges against each other, but my intuition tells me that you are dangerous and a great menace. If we can get rid of you sooner, we can't delay!"
Pirate wars never concern themselves with morality; if they don't like you, they'll start a war. All you're saying is that you're just afraid!
You never explain why you attack others, do you? You try to reason with the weak but try to reason with the strong? Teach! You're such a hypocrite!
Blackbeard's life motto is indeed very flexible. One minute he's full of confidence that he'll kill his own Pops, and the next minute, when he can't beat him, he calls himself his son and begs for mercy from his Pops!
If they want someone else's Devil Fruit ability, they'll try to steal it; if they see Dark King Rayleigh, as a threat, they'll run away as fast as they can!
He took a liking to Luo's Road Poneglyph rubbing and shot it. When he saw Vic coming, he asked why he was chasing him. He kept switching sides, ultimately putting himself in a favorable position!
" Blackbeard! Do you really want to know why? Think carefully about where you went and what you did before?"
Hancock glared at Blackbeard with hatred. This was the man who almost destroyed Amazon Lily. She was a woman who held grudges!
Then Hancock looked at Vic's profile with adoration. Vic had taken the time to search for Blackbeard in order to avenge her. Knowing that she was no match for Blackbeard, he took the initiative to confront him. She found herself Vic Blackbeard more, and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing!
"Hmph! You don't actually think he's seeking justice for you or avenging you, do you? He was already hunting me down long before I went to the Amazon Lily. You just happened to be there at the right time. Don't flatter yourself!"
Blackbeard, being such a clever man, understood Hancock's meaning in just a few words. Then, looking at the way Hancock looked at Vic, he instantly understood the relationship between the two.
But why should he make this woman feel so sweet inside? And why should he let Vic win the heart of the beauty?
He understood perfectly well that no matter how nicely or logically he spoke, Vic wouldn't let him off the hook; in the end, it would all come down to their actions! So why fawn over Vic and let him win the beauty's heart effortlessly? He was just jealous!
"Hmph! No matter how eloquently you speak, you can't sow discord between us!"
Hancock love-struck; no matter how badly (or truthfully) outsiders say things, it doesn't matter. Unless she falls out of love, anything said to her will be taken out of context and ultimately used to glorify her beloved!
I can't take bad words (the truth) anyway; the more good words (flattery) the better, the happier I feel!
" Teach! I'm very curious where you got your Tremor-Tremor Fruit power from. Was Doflamingo's prize real?"
Having subdued Van Augur, Vic was no longer too worried. He figured it wouldn't hurt to chat with Blackbeard a bit more, so he asked the question that had been bothering him.
Blackbeard did indeed take the Devil Fruit that was the prize for winning the Colosseum Championship, but Vic really doesn't know whether Blackbeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power comes from that Devil Fruit!
He didn't believe Doflamingo would be so honest as to possess such a Devil Fruit and not keep it for his own people but instead use it as a prize to lure Luffy.
Doflamingo isn't stupid; he couldn't possibly have done something so incredible, unless Doflamingo stumbled upon it by accident while he Blackbeard unsure of the situation!
"Hahaha! What's the point of asking this now? You're about to kill me, why would I answer your questions? Do I look like that kind of person? Even if I die, I won't let you have a good time! Humph!"
Blackbeard certainly didn't get his Tremor-Tremor ability from that Devil Fruit he risked his life to obtain!
Thinking about it makes him want to curse. He almost got electrocuted by Vic that time, but all he got was a regular Paramecia ability that hadn't been recorded before!
This enraged Blackbeard, whose body was still recovering from being under Vic's attack, to the point that he vomited blood. In a fit of rage, he killed the civilian who had come to test the Devil Fruit's power!
Vic is still very unhappy about this matter. Whether it's out of pride or because he doesn't want to satisfy Vic's curiosity, he doesn't want to tell the truth.
Vic's statement that Blackbeard has great luck is not just empty talk; the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit are naturally connected to Blackbeard!
Although he didn't find the Dark-Dark Fruit, it was obtained by someone close to him, and eventually he got his hands on it.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power has always been within his Pops's body, practically inseparable from him. If it weren't for Vic's intervention during the Paramount War, he would have already obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.
Even though Vic ruined that opportunity, Blackbeard later encountered a new Devil Fruit User the Tremor-Tremor- Tremor Fruit and eventually managed to acquire the ability!
So your Devil Fruit has its own will, huh? Fine, I'll just steal it by force then. You think you can hide from me with your Devil Fruit, huh? Fine, I'll just take it directly from the user's body. Once it's eaten, let's see how you hide then!
"Don't want to talk about it? Or are you unwilling to talk about it? Actually, your behavior has already told me the answer. When you found out it wasn't the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, weren't you furious? Didn't you want to tear me apart?"
As if he had read Blackbeard's mind, Vic spoke quite aptly. Although he could indeed access other people's memories, it was quite difficult for someone of Blackbeard's strength to do so. Blackbeard's Observation Haki wouldn't be completely oblivious to such things, so Vic didn't do it to avoid alerting Blackbeard!
During the battle later, Vic might use his illusion abilities. Checking Blackbeard's memories now might make him wary, so Vic wouldn't use one of his trump cards for something so trivial!
