Chapter 42:
At this moment, Roger and Garp were still some distance away from God Valley.
Victor currently had a bad feeling—he believed the battle at God Valley had already begun.
So Victor decided to go to God Valley to scout for information.
Garp, meanwhile, was chasing after Roger from behind.
"Roger, I'm going to God Valley first. I'm a bit worried about Shakky."
Victor said to Roger.
"Alright, go ahead."
Roger nodded without thinking.
So Victor glanced back at Heracles once, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the ship.
At that moment, Rayleigh stared in the direction Victor left for a while in a daze.
Heracles and the others were worried about Victor's safety.
Inside God Valley at this time, the Rocks Pirates had already charged in.
In an instant, the pirates clashed with the Navy, God's Knights, and God's Blades.
The fighting erupted immediately—Galin Saint and the others charged forward.
Victor's lightning speed was near the speed of light—he arrived at God Valley in the time it took to breathe.
When he saw the scene below in God Valley, he immediately spread out his Mantra (heart net).
"As expected—the God Valley war has really begun."
Victor looked at the tragic battlefield below and murmured.
At this moment, Rocks was searching for his wife and children. He charged all the way toward the hunting ground in God Valley.
Whitebeard was now directly facing Galin Saint.
In their first clash, Whitebeard immediately hit Galin Saint with a Shockwave Impact.
Not only that—Whitebeard grabbed the void with one hand, instantly causing a massive quake across God Valley.
In one moment, everyone in God Valley was startled.
The pirates immediately knew Whitebeard had activated his Quake-Quake Fruit ability—they all became alert, not daring to lose focus or they'd be shaken out.
But these quakes were no problem for Rocks and Golden Lion.
Especially Golden Lion—his Float-Float Fruit wasn't just for show.
He floated directly in the sky—the ground's shaking power couldn't affect him at all.
"Galin Saint—die for me!"
Whitebeard roared loudly. A spherical white light appeared on the blade of his Murakumogiri.
He swung Murakumogiri straight toward Galin Saint's head.
Galin Saint's reaction was extremely fast. The moment the Quake-Quake Fruit ability appeared, he instantly prepared a counterattack.
Bang! Boom!
Galin Saint collided with Whitebeard, and immediately after, he was slashed by Whitebeard.
However, his wound healed at an extremely fast speed—it didn't affect Galin Saint's combat power at all.
And the ground around them had already been completely destroyed by the Quake-Quake Fruit ability.
These external environments had no effect on their fight.
So they immediately clashed again.
"Hahaha—this Whitebeard, can't you let me save my people first?"
Rocks said irritably.
Through Observation Haki, he had already found his wife and children.
So he quickly moved toward them, completely ignoring the so-called resources.
Victor also saw the situation below.
"Hoho—Whitebeard's Quake-Quake Fruit ability is truly powerful."
"This is Galin Saint, huh? Heh, that hair really is flashy. Looks very punchable."
Victor couldn't help but comment as he watched.
Immediately after, Victor turned into lightning and first went to find Charlotte Linlin.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard and Galin Saint on the battlefield had already begun their fierce fight.
Those ordinary low-level Celestial Dragons were just privileged ants—they would die in the chaos sooner or later.
Iva and Kuma had already succeeded—they stole the treasure chest during the chaos.
After Kuma obtained the Paw-Paw Fruit, Iva forced him to eat it immediately.
Just as they were preparing to escape with the remaining Devil Fruits, they ran into Charlotte Linlin.
"Oh? Ran into some little thieves. Hand it over."
"Hahaha—take it back for Katakuri to eat."
With that, Charlotte Linlin directly snatched the Devil Fruits from their hands.
This immediately scared Iva and Kuma so much they trembled and didn't dare move.
She ignored the trembling Iva and Kuma, just smiling as she looked at the Devil Fruit in her hand.
"Hey, Charlotte Linlin—you seem to have taken something that belongs to me."
Victor's voice rang in Charlotte Linlin's ear.
"Hm? Victor—it's you again. Die!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Charlotte Linlin turned to look at Victor and immediately flew into a rage.
She didn't waste words—she attacked directly, showing no fear at all.
And just at that moment, Kaido also rushed over.
"Hahaha, Linlin—the Devil Fruit is mine!"
Kaido also charged toward Charlotte Linlin, aiming for the Devil Fruit as well.
Victor glanced at Kaido, his eyes full of contempt.
"Hahaha—since that's the case, don't blame me. First taste my 200 million volt lightning—have a little snack."
With that, Victor immediately summoned a massive bolt of lightning and struck Charlotte Linlin and Kaido instantly.
"Ah—it hurts like hell!"
"How is this possible? Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability? Didn't you eat the Glutton-Glutton Fruit?"
Charlotte Linlin let out a miserable scream, but immediately after she felt incomparably shocked.
Even though she quickly used Armament Haki to defend, the massive destructive power of the lightning still scorched her black like charcoal.
"What? Victor has dual Devil Fruit abilities?"
At this moment, Kaido's fur was standing on end from the electricity.
"Linlin, Kaido—you don't know a lot of things. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't."
Victor looked at Charlotte Linlin and said with a smile.
"You're a dual-fruit ability user—could it be the Glutton-Glutton Fruit's special ability? No wonder, no wonder you were so desperate to take this Devil Fruit."
Charlotte Linlin thought of the Glutton-Glutton Fruit and believed it was its ability's fault.
In an instant, she regretted it so much her guts turned green.
If she had known the Glutton-Glutton Fruit had such an effect, she should have eaten it herself back then—or given it to her son.
Thinking of this, her face immediately became even darker.
"Just keep thinking about it slowly. For the sake of the Glutton-Glutton Fruit, I'll let you go this time. Next time, you'll have to be careful."
Victor finished speaking and no longer paid attention to Charlotte Linlin.
Seeing this, Charlotte Linlin ignored Kaido completely and turned to flee.
"Kaido—I despise you. You actually tried to steal from your own comrade."
"At this point, I'm not killing you—get lost."
Victor said with some disdain.
Kaido's face immediately darkened—whether from the electricity or from anger, no one knew.
But at this moment, Victor's strength was overwhelming—he didn't say anything more and quickly distanced himself from Victor.
Victor watched their actions—they clearly cherished their own lives very much.
