Chapter 4: Victor
As Akainu and Aokiji exchanged a knowing glance, a silent understanding passed between them. With a shared sense of determination, they approached Victor, their intentions clear.
"I want him in my team," Akainu declared, his voice brimming with conviction.
Aokiji said, "He is mine" he added, his gaze steady.
Sengoku, caught off guard by their sudden request, regarded them with a mixture of surprise and intrigue. Akainu, representing the hawk faction, and Aokiji, representing the dove faction, rarely found common ground. Yet, here they stood, united in their desire to recruit Victor into their ranks.
Turning his attention to Victor, Sengoku posed the question, "Victor, whose faction do you want to join?"
However, Victor's response was unexpected. "None," he replied firmly. "I don't want to join any faction. I want to directly become an admiral."
Sengoku's eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. "You can't just become an admiral," he explained. "It takes many merits to be promoted to such a rank."
But Victor remained resolute. "Then what do you want me to do? I refuse to work under anyone. I want to carve my own path," he asserted defiantly.
Sengoku hesitated, weighing his options carefully. "If you want to become an admiral directly, you need to bring down an Emperor," he stated finally.
Victor's eyes gleamed with determination at the challenge laid before him. "Very well," he responded. "But first, teach me Haki. I know I possess the potential to master it."
Sengoku regarded Victor with a mixture of apprehension and admiration. "You indeed possess extraordinary talent," he acknowledged. "But first, you must learn Observation and Armament Haki and awaken the Conqueror's Haki within you. There is no doubt in my mind that someone of your caliber possesses such a rare and powerful ability."
As Sengoku's authoritative decree echoed throughout the navy headquarters, a solemn silence fell over the assembled crowd. Each member of the navy present understood the gravity of the situation and the importance of keeping Victor Crowe's true capabilities a secret.
With a stern expression, Sengoku turned his attention to Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Kizaru, assigning them the crucial task of training Victor in the ways of Haki. The mention of Conqueror's Haki sparked a surge of anticipation within Victor, and as he felt the powerful presence of Sengoku's own Conqueror's Haki, he instinctively awakened his own.
In an awe-inspiring display, Victor's Conqueror's Haki manifested as a dark purple aura, enveloping the surroundings in its ominous embrace. The sheer intensity of his Haki field was palpable, causing even Sengoku to falter momentarily as it suppressed his own Haki and caused physical damage to the surrounding area.
Witnessing this incredible display of power, Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru could only utter in disbelief, "What a monster." Even the three admirals, usually composed and stoic, appeared visibly shocked by the extent of Victor's abilities. Those in the vicinity, including most of the vice admirals, were left reeling from the overwhelming pressure exerted by Victor's Conqueror's Haki, with some falling to their knees in submission.
In that moment, Victor stood with arms outstretched, his laughter ringing out like the sinister cackle of a demon. His visage twisted into an expression of pure malevolence, a chilling reminder of the darkness that lurked within him.
As the navy headquarters trembled under the weight of Victor's unleashed power, a shroud of uncertainty descended upon the gathered witnesses. The emergence of such a formidable force threatened to upend the delicate balance of power within the navy, leaving those present to ponder the ominous implications of Victor Crowe's ascent.
As Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Kizaru escorted Victor to a secluded training location aboard a ship, Fleet Admiral Sengoku remained in his office, deep in contemplation. Aokiji, ever perceptive, voiced his concerns regarding Victor's potential for chaos if left unchecked.
"Fleet Admiral, you know if that guy perfects Haki and he doesn't have any sense of justice, he's like an evil entity reincarnate," Aokiji warned, his tone grave.
Sengoku nodded solemnly, fully aware of the risks involved. "I know," he acknowledged. "But I believe we can harness his potential to our advantage. Victor has the capability to bring down the Four Emperors."
With a determined expression, Sengoku reached for a phone bug and dialed a secure line connecting him to the Five Elders of the World Government. As he relayed the situation to them, even the esteemed Elders were taken aback by Victor's unprecedented abilities.
Upon reviewing Victor's report, the Five Elders issued a directive to Sengoku, emphasizing the importance of uncovering Victor's origins at any cost. Their concern deepened as they inquired about Victor's familial ties, only to learn that he had no living relatives.
In response, the Five Elders issued a directive to Sengoku, instructing him to train Victor to the best of his abilities. They entrusted Sengoku with the responsibility of molding Victor into a formidable asset for the World Government, with the assurance that they would handle the rest.
With the call concluded, Sengoku's resolve hardened as he prepared to navigate the treacherous waters ahead. Despite the inherent risks, he remained steadfast in his belief that Victor Crowe held the key to achieving the World Government's most coveted goals.
As the discussion among the Five Elders of the World Government unfolded, Saint Nusjuro raised a pressing concern. "It's a problem. We don't know if he is a D, and he doesn't have a family, so we can't threaten him. Furthermore, he possesses no Devil Fruit."
Saint Warcury pondered the issue before proposing a solution. "How about we give him these? That guy, as Sengoku said, possesses such a unique bloodline. It must be of an ancient race."
Saint Saturn seized upon this idea. "Yes, we can use his genes to our advantage."
Saint Mars added his input. "As for the matter of family, since he likes women, we'll send them as spies and make him fall in love with them."
Shepherd, ever the strategist, offered his suggestion. "And we can also give him a Devil Fruit as a last resort. This way, we can at least ensure he is on the same side as us."
The Five Elders nodded in agreement. "Indeed, let's do it," they concurred.
With their decision made, Saint Saturn swiftly summoned the elite operatives of CP0. "Go to the navy headquarters and collect Victor's blood sample," he ordered.
With a nod of understanding, the members of CP0 swiftly departed from the hall, their mission clear: to gather the necessary intel and materials to manipulate Victor Crowe to serve the interests of the World Government.
