Chapter 82
Seeing so much delicious food, Victor could no longer sit still and instantly entered a frenzied eating state.
"Mmm, delicious, this is good, this one's delicious too. Awesome." "This Baron Omatsuri upgrade even raised the quality of the food." "After I finish eating, I'll collect more as reserves."
Victor stuffed food into his mouth frantically while marveling at how delicious it was.
Thus, in the following days, Victor ate nonstop without sleep or rest. If Crocus were here, he'd probably give Victor another full-body checkup.
But Victor had the Devour Talent—this eating pace was nothing to him. The moment Victor swallowed food, it was instantly digested in his stomach, providing continuous energy that strengthened his body.
So Victor didn't care about rest at all—he ate first and asked questions later.
Victor lived freely on the Baron Omatsuri for half a year like this. But even so, Victor's body didn't gain any fat—his physique remained perfectly proportioned.
It was certain that his physical strength continued to grow stronger every single day.
During this time, Victor also hunted food for the Baron Omatsuri, feeding it quite well.
At this point, he suddenly remembered something. So Victor immediately packed up and prepared to head to the New World to see if he could recruit some talent.
Thus, Victor went straight to Wano Country.
In the current Wano Country, Kozuki Oden's return was unknown—he had disembarked directly. It wouldn't be strange if he went to find the Whitebeard Pirates first.
When Victor arrived in Wano Country, he also sensed Kozuki Oden. However, Victor had no interest in him and didn't go looking.
At this moment, a great battle was taking place in Wano Country. Moonlight Moria was leading his crew to challenge the Beasts Pirates.
But Moria was no match at all—his subordinates were currently being mercilessly slaughtered by the Beasts Pirates.
What surprised Victor was Kaido's transformation—at this moment, Kaido was in the form of a black dragon.
"This guy actually found a black dragon-type Devil Fruit? Not sure if it's a black dragon or black flood dragon." "Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Kaido—his luck is really good. Looks like the real deal."
Victor looked at Kaido from afar and sighed with emotion.
While Victor was sighing, Moria's subordinates had already been completely wiped out.
Just as Kaido was about to finish off Moria, Victor suddenly appeared in front of Kaido.
Terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, stunning Kaido for a moment. Immediately after, Kaido sensed a familiar power and became furious.
Kaido's subordinate pirates had already collapsed to the ground.
"Victor?" ×N
The few still conscious pirates instantly recognized Victor. No mistaking it—that physique was too distinctive.
"How could such a big shot come looking for us?" One of them, King, muttered nervously.
Beside him, Queen also looked at Victor with a grave expression. No helping it—this was people's instinctive reaction to danger.
"Victor… Lord Victor?" At this moment, Moria also looked at Victor in the field in utter shock.
"Hm? Who the hell is it?" Kaido, still a bit dazed, said angrily.
"Kaido, looks like you're still drunk. Let me sober you up."
With that, Victor directly gave Kaido a 10 billion volt electrotherapy session.
"Ahhh~"
Kaido, struck by thunder, let out a miserable scream and instantly snapped awake.
"Victor? Why are you here?" Kaido recognized Victor and immediately felt a chill run down his spine—his mane stood on end.
Even with Victor just standing there, he felt invisible pressure and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew full well how terrifying this man was.
"Of course I'm here for this guy." Victor pointed at Moria beside him.
"Kaido, I didn't expect your strength to be this good. How about a spar?" "By the way, I'm a bit curious—what Devil Fruit did you eat?"
Victor looked Kaido up and down, his eyes burning with battle intent.
"Since you're here for Moria, take him away." "As for what fruit I ate—nothing to hide. Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Black Dragon form."
Kaido didn't plan to hide it and answered directly.
"As expected, nice." "Since you're so honest, I won't make things difficult for you this time."
With that, Victor took Moria away directly.
"Phew, he's finally gone. This guy is as terrifying as ever."
Kaido sighed in relief after seeing Victor leave, then took his subordinates and left as well.
He really was a bit afraid of Victor—if they had fought earlier, he definitely wouldn't have been a match. He still had a lot of preparations to make against Kozuki Oden.
No question—Kozuki Oden's strength was truly formidable; Kaido might not even be his opponent.
Victor brought Moria to another side before setting him down. The current Moria was still a burly young man—nothing like the bloated figure he would become later.
"Thank you, Lord Victor, for saving my life." Moria, of course, knew Victor's feats and immediately knelt to bow in gratitude.
He had personally witnessed Victor dominating the entire scene in Loguetown.
"Alright, get up, Moria. Your subordinates are all dead now—what are your plans?" Victor accepted Moria's bow and began asking.
"I don't know. Kaido's strength is too great. I probably won't be able to get revenge in this lifetime." Moria shook his head dejectedly.
At this moment, Moria had just suffered a crushing defeat and had no mood to think about the future.
"In that case, join my Plant Scholars. I'd like to invite you to become one of us." Victor directly extended the invitation.
"Huh? Lord Victor, you want to invite me to join your pirate crew?" "Why? Why invite a failure like me?"
Moria was utterly shocked upon hearing Victor's words. He didn't understand—his strength wasn't great, and he was a complete failure.
"Because you, Moonlight Moria, value loyalty and bonds. I admire people who value bonds. My comrades can lack strength, but they cannot lack loyalty."
Victor looked straight into Moria's eyes and spoke earnestly.
Moria looked at Victor, and upon hearing these words, tears immediately streamed down his face in emotion.
"Thank you… thank you, Lord Victor." "I am more than willing to join Lord Victor's pirate crew."
Moonlight Moria agreed decisively. Right now, it felt like he had met a true kindred spirit in life—he couldn't refuse such an invitation. Moreover, Victor was a powerhouse he admired.
