Vic spoke with Rayleigh about the Roger Pirates’ past and learned more about Roger’s unknown, virus-caused terminal illness. Rayleigh explained that the illness weakened Roger, while Vic questioned how Roger alone had been infected and suggested the crew must have separated.

After signing the Shichibukai contract with a drop of black dog’s blood instead of his own, Vic collected two billion Beli from the Sabaody Marine base.
