Vic visited Shanks, defeated him in a rematch, and learned of the mysterious tattoo on his back before traveling to Alabasta. There, Rebecca fought Crocodile until Vic intervened, and Vic secured Crocodile’s cooperation as a Shichibukai before preparing to leave.
Vic pursued Kuma’s Shichibukai offer, trained his crew, and secretly helped Fisher Tiger survive while earning a Marine promotion. After the World Government assigned him to protect Vegapunk, Vic arrived at Punk Hazard and met Caesar and Sentomaru.
Vic trained with Vegapunk’s gravity bracelets before a government mission forced him to choose between the Marines and the civilians of Dabo Haisita. After killing Renka and abandoning the Navy, he joined forces with Olvia and the Revolutionary Army, then collapsed as his newly awakened Conqueror’s Haki surged again.
Vic awakened after two months unconscious, gathered his crew, and left the Marines behind as he embraced piracy. After healing and equipping his companions, he challenged Kizaru and defeated him before vanishing into the clouds, while the Marines concealed the battle’s outcome.
Vic survived a series of battles with the God's Knights, awakening Future Sight before recruiting Mantis and securing Whitebeard’s protection for Mantis’s people. Over the next two years, Vic trained his growing crew and prepared to face the God's Knights together, just as Saturn contacted him.
Vic secured a truce with the World Government, uncovered the Soul Tree’s secrets, and used its fruits to protect and train people he cared about. He then reached Whole Cake Island to challenge Big Mom over Wendy’s unwanted marriage, leaving the gathered guests awaiting Big Mom’s response.
Vic defeated Big Mom, rescued Wendy’s kingdom, and expanded his crew while shaping events across the world. He left the stretch after killing Derek in Wano and agreeing to take Yamato out to sea.
Vic rescued Yamato, reunited Olvia with Robin, cured Bonney, and guided Ace toward becoming a stronger pirate. The stretch ended with Vic and Dragon at a Sabaody auction, where Tesoro bought the Lucky-Lucky Fruit and a woman Vic recognized as Baccarat.
Vic manipulated the Sabaody auction to obtain Devil Fruits, then arranged for Tesoro to secretly fund Dragon’s Revolutionary Army. After returning to Titan Island, Vic trained while his crew fought Kaido, who came to challenge him over Yamato.
Vic defeated Kaido, returned Kuina to her family, and watched Luffy begin his journey through the East Blue. After Kuina tested herself against Mihawk, Vic visited Smoker in Loguetown and explained why the World Government had made him a Shichibukai.
Vic reunited with Smoker and Tashigi, secretly protected the Straw Hat Pirates through Alabasta, and supported Robin's decision to join them. He then cultivated inside the Rainbow Mist and the Soul Tree, reaching the God Realm while Luffy's crew traveled to Sky Island and Long Ring Long Land.
Vic followed the Straw Hat Pirates from Water 7 to Sabaody, helped Kuma scatter the crew, and prepared to intervene when Ace faced public execution. At Marine Headquarters, Whitebeard arrived and the battle began, while Vic secretly protected Little Oars Jr. and watched the fighting unfold.
Vic helped rescue Ace, fought Akainu and the Blackbeard Pirates, and left Marineford after Whitebeard’s death. He then arranged Luffy’s two-year training, trained Ace himself, and encountered Redfield in the New World.
Vic built his crew’s strength, forged ties with Aokiji and the Revolutionary Army, and helped establish the Thunder God Pirates’ presence on Fish-Man Island. When Blackbeard attacked the Whitebeard Pirates and captured Marco and the others, Catarina warned him that Vic had arrived.
Vic saved Whitebeard’s remnants and inherited their territory, becoming a Four Emperor while the Straw Hat Pirates resumed their journey. He helped Sabo and the Revolutionary Army, guided Smoker and Aokiji, and finally called time on Ace’s training against Bullet.
Vic intervened in Dressrosa, where Luffy defeated Doflamingo and Aokiji chose to join the Straw Hat Pirates. While Vic trained his crew and watched events unfold, Luffy rescued Sanji, gained a massive bounty, and was captured in Wano as the alliance prepared to attack Onigashima.
Vic left his crew to intervene in Mary Geoise, where he confronted Imu and the Five Elders, saved Cobra and Sabo, and helped free the slaves. After Imu destroyed Lulusia and the World Government made Vic a six-billion-Beli target, he learned about Vegapunk’s Mother Flame and turned his attention to Blackbeard’s attack on Amazon Lily.
Vic left Amazon Lily with Hancock and later pursued Blackbeard to Winner Island, where he fought Blackbeard’s crew and killed Blackbeard. The Straw Hats liberated Wano and became Emperors, while Vic and his companions prepared to take Van Augur with them.
Vic defeated Blackbeard, gained the Warp-Warp Fruit, and brought Olvia and Hancock to Egghead to help Vegapunk. The World Government attacked the island, where Luffy and Vic’s allies battled the Marines and Saturn while Vegapunk prepared to escape with his research.
Vic and the Straw Hats battled the Five Elders and Imu on Egghead, discovering that Conqueror’s Haki could suppress the Elders’ immortality before Imu withdrew and the island’s victims were freed. After the Straw Hats departed, Vic brought Vegapunk to Baltigo and revealed the God Realm to Dragon, urging him to grow strong enough to challenge Imu.
