Chapter 83 - The Grand Line 14. Night at Whiskey Peak

There is no erotic element.

"Ahhh... it's warm..."

"It snowed suddenly. It was sunny just a moment ago."

Unseasonably heavy snow.

The weather had been clear just a few minutes ago, but now there was a thin layer of snow on the Merry.

If the ship exceeds its load capacity, there is a risk of it sinking, so normally the snow would be shoveled away, but Luffy's ability allowed him to keep the temperature of the ship's surface and cabins constant, allowing for heating and snow removal.

"Nami, what is our course?"

"Huh?... No way, it's a little off."

Furthermore, it had drifted off course in a very short time.

Sometimes there would be thunderstorms and tornadoes, and once the snow had stopped the first spring winds would blow, and the events that occurred were truly different from previous voyages.

Fortunately, most of the damage was dealt with immediately using Luffy's abilities and Nami's navigation skills, so no major damage was caused.

Nojiko and Tashigi dealt with problems at the bottom of the ship that Luffy's abilities were not able to address, and they were able to reach an area of ​​sea with a stable climate.

"Ah, I'm exhausted."

"This is the first time I've worked this hard..."

Nojiko and Tashigi were exhausted from the unfamiliar carpentry work. Ideally, Luffy would be the one to do it, but because he has control of the ship, he has to use his abilities on deck one by one.

Nami was also giving instructions based on the weather, Makino was making snacks so that everyone wouldn't get hungry and Kaya had to bring them over, so it was a hectic schedule.

"I think we need a few more crew members. We won't last the night like this."

"No, that's a separate matter! ...or so I'd like to say..."

Taking on Luffy at night is like a reward on this ship, but it also takes a lot of energy, so it would be best to refrain from doing so if it would affect the voyage.

I thought about increasing the number of crew members, but that would reduce the time and frequency of nighttime interactions, so I'm doing it with this number of people, but of course I can't do that if I want to distribute the burden.

"Well, let's see if there are any good girls there when we get to the island."

"That island...? Ah."

Thinking about what Nami meant, Makino looked ahead at the front of the ship and saw an island with a large, cactus-like mountain.

Yes, the goal of the first adventure was in sight.

"It's a big island."

"I wish there were people there."

"At least we were able to see it before the sun went down."

It was already dusk, and sailing at night was dangerous, but anchoring in this chaotic sea area was also not safe.

But once we reach the island, we'll have some leeway.

"Hmm?...Hey, is something...burning?"

"picture?"

-Whiskey Peak-

"this is…!"

"terrible…"

The town's port was in sight. When the boat docked at the pier, which was clearly made by hand, it was discovered that many people, likely residents, had collapsed.

The building had collapsed, probably due to artillery fire, and there were people left charred and with their bodies bent in strange directions.

There was also the bizarre sight of bodies buried in the ground.

"[Property]... Judging from the information, this only happened a short time ago."

When Luffy lands on the island and uses the Tag Tag Fruit to read the information, he finds that not much time has passed since the attack.

Maybe the culprit was on the island.

"Uhh..."

"! OK!"

Tashigi, who had also gotten off the ship, approached the man who was still conscious. The man, who had curled hair like a musician and was holding a saxophone, groaned in pain as he slightly opened his eyes and, looking at Tashigi, seemed to realize that they were not attackers, saying, "It's not them..."

"What on earth?"

"P-please! The princess, Princess Vivi...argh...!"

"Princess Vivi?!"

As the man called for help, an explosion occurred in the depths of town. The man's screams suggested that someone was fighting.

Tashigi, who has a strong sense of justice, then said, "It's over there!" and headed off to the scene.

"Nami! You guys wait on the ship, if anything happens, get away from the island!"

"I-I get it!"

Luffy gave instructions to Nami, then followed Tashigi, ignoring her as she hurriedly started to prepare the ship so that it could depart immediately.

"Let go of that person!!"

When Luffy looked to see Tashigi, he saw a pair of people: one a man with curly permed hair and sunglasses, and the other a woman dressed like a companion and holding an umbrella.

And crouching in front of him was a beautiful woman in pale blue.

Around them, a man wearing a crown and a muscular woman lay charred and collapsed, and a large mallard duck lay limp.

"Huh? What is it?"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter who it is, right? The order was to eliminate everyone on this island."

"Run!!"

The captured beauty clung to Tashigi as if to try and escape, but Tashigi drew her sword and prepared to attack, showing no intention of backing down.

Then the man with the perm stuck his finger up his nose and started picking it.

"I don't know who it is, but I don't intend to let anyone return alive."

Then he kneaded a booger and pointed it at Tashigi like a flick on the head.

Tashigi watched suspiciously, but when she instinctively realized it was an enemy attack, her body unconsciously moved.

" !"nose fantasy gunNose Fancy Cannon

"!!"

The booger was released. It made her feel a physiological aversion, but she also felt her life was in danger. She ducked down and ignored it, when the building behind her collapsed with an explosion.

"Bombardment...! Is that a Devil Fruit?!"

"Hmph, I'll give you some praise for dodging it well. I'm a bomb human who ate the Bomb-Bomb Fruit. Anything produced by my body becomes a bomb."

"Kyahahaha, it's my turn now!!"

"What!?"

The woman shouted as she jumped high into the air. She leaped to a height that was beyond the ability of an ordinary person.

It looked as if he was walking through the air with the umbrella he was holding, but his laughter, "Kyahahaha!", added to the eerie atmosphere and took the fantasy atmosphere away from him.

"You're surprised, aren't you? I'm a heavy human who ate the Kilo Kilo Fruit! Try dodging them again!"

"!!!"

The woman suddenly changes from floating in the air to falling straight towards Tashigi like a meteorite.

With no time to dodge, he tries to take a defensive stance.

"Kyahahaha!! That kind of defense is useless!! Crush it!! 10,000 km"

"picture"

The woman got within just a few meters of Tashigi, but Luffy caught up with her and intervened, causing her to fall and then be blown upwards by the wind.

For a moment, it seemed as if the woman had used her power to reduce her weight and jumped up again, but then a scream from the woman rang out, "Nooooo!!!"

"What are you playing at, Miss Valentine?!"

"With my ability, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The wind blew it away and it was carried off the island.

The man was stunned, but then he made a sour face, clicked his tongue, and said, "You guys will have to deal with this first!!" as he picked his nose again.

"Luffy, what is that man's ability?"

"It's okay, I saw it just now. You can see through it, right?"

"…! yes!"

"What the hell are you all babbling about?! Blow them both away!! "nose fantasy gunNose Fancy Cannon

"[paste]"

The booger bomb was released again, but Luffy's ability made the stone under his feet bigger, turning it into a wall and causing it to explode.

As he was caught in the dust created by the blast, the man had a new perception of Luffy, saying, "Damn, he's a Devil Fruit user too...!"

"--Yeeeees!!!"

"! That idiot charged straight at me."

Tashigi jumped out of the cloud of dust and headed straight for the man, then kneaded two boogers with the fingers of both hands and threw them at Tashigi.

" !!"Nose fantasy double gunNose Fancy Double Cannon

"Get out of the way!!"

"!"

Two Boogers attacked at the same time. Because he had closed the distance, he had less time to dodge, and it was definitely too far for him to dodge.

However, Tashigi swung her sword in a horizontal line and cut off the booger, which was as small as a grain of rice.

"What?!"

"Slashing rain!!"

She simply walked past the man. The man looked puzzled for a moment when nothing was done, but then he exclaimed, "Don't mess with me!" and reached out his hand to Tashigi.

However, in that position, all the strength left my body.

"N-n-...cough."

The man was knocked down and there was a slash mark on his back from Tashigi, who had slashed him as they passed each other.

The fight was decided by a small but sure blow aimed at the vital spot.

"Amazing... You defeated an officer agent..."

"Are you hurt?"

"Um, is it okay to call me Princess Vivi?"

Tashigi put her sword away with a click, and as Luffy appeared from the depths of the dust that had settled, Vivi replied, "...Yes, I'm Vivi."

"Oh! Princess Vivi, please be safe!"

"Igaram... I'm fine... but Kaluu..."

When we returned to the port, we were greeted by a man named Igaram who looked like a musician and had recovered to some extent.

After that, a man and a woman who were nearby went to check on the duck, whose name was Karoo, and found that all of its bones were broken.

When Igaram saw the painfully injured Karuru being brought in on a makeshift stretcher by Luffy and Tashigi, he said regretfully, "Karu...", but when he saw Luffy and Tashigi, he bowed his head.

"Thank you to all the travelers. Thanks to your help...! Cough! Mum-mum-mum~♪ Princess Vivi is safe..."

"No, by the way, speaking of Vivi, she is the daughter of the King of Alabasta, but I remember she went missing, so why is she on this island?"

Both Vivi and Igaram were taken aback by Tashigi's words.

There may have been some circumstances, but it seemed like he didn't want to get involved.

"That has nothing to do with you two..."

"Hey, is that an enemy?"

"picture?"

Where Luffy was pointing, there was a sea otter and a vulture looking at them. The two of them were surprised and exclaimed "!?", when the sea otter got on the vulture and flew away.Friday the 13thUnlucky

"An enemy, I guess."

"Nine times out of ten. Maybe they thought we were cooperating."

Luffy agreed with Tashigi's words, and Vivi apologized, "I'm so sorry!"

However, perhaps thanks to that, Igaram persuaded Vivi, saying, "If things have come to this, you should tell them the situation."

"As Tashigi said, I am a member of the royal family of Alabasta. As you may know, a coup d'état has been brewing in the country for the past few years."

"Yes, that's what we heard back at headquarters. Some rumors say he defected to the rebels, or even been captured."

When Tashigi told Igaram the information she knew, he tilted his head and asked, "Headquarters?", so when she explained, "He's a marine in charge of overseeing our ship," he was surprised and said, "A marine!?"

Although it is true that marines have the authority to supervise ordinary ships, this authority is rarely applied.

"So, what is the connection between the domestic coup and today's incident?"

"...Igaram discovered that there was a movement to instigate a coup. He knew it was dangerous, but he couldn't help but check it out. So he spent three years infiltrating the organization, gathering evidence, and finally got hold of them."

"A secret society, Baroque Works. That is the organization behind the coup, the force plotting to take over the Kingdom of Alabasta. The Princess and I have tracked down the name of its boss."

The enemy's mastermind. If we can get a hold of him by the neck, we can put an end to the domestic coup.

However, this was noticed and two assassins were sent.

"I see. That woman said, 'The order was to eliminate everyone on this island,' so she meant to eliminate anyone who might cooperate with you guys."

"He seems like a pretty radical person. So, what is his true identity?"

"I-I can't tell you! Even the Navy can't involve you any further!"

The level of danger is probably too different.

Even if they easily defeated the two from before, it wouldn't be easy, so Vivi said that because she didn't want to get them involved.

"Aren't you useful in the Navy?"

"Tashigi, it's fine to stick your neck out, but if the opponent is beyond your capabilities, you really can't do it."

"Yeah, no matter how strong I am, there's no way I can beat Crocodile...ah."

"""""""

The name slipped out of his mouth, leaving everyone speechless. Vivi and Tashigi, who had said it, had their eyes rolled back in their heads and their mouths hanging open. Vivi's carelessness had caused Igaram to clutch his head, and Luffy, who ended up getting caught up in the incident, clutched his head.

"You did it on purpose, Princess."

"Sorry, sorry!!!"

When Luffy made a sarcastic remark about Vivi's actions that blocked her escape route despite her having said that she couldn't get them involved, Vivi apologized, covering her face with both hands.

That being said, this doesn't mean it's completely unrelated.

"Luffy, since we've come this far, wouldn't it be best to help out?"

"Hmm... If I ignore them poorly, they'll probably attack me... What should I do now? What are you guys going to do?"

"I got you all involved...! Cough! M-m-m-m-m-m-♪ I apologize for getting you all involved. On that note, if you can help me, I would like you to escort Princess Vivi to Alabasta."

"So, as of today, Princess Vivi is a member of the team."

"Y-You're welcome."

"What's going on?!/What's going on?!/What is it?!"

Nami and the others, who had returned to the ship with Vivi and were waiting to hear Luffy's words, responded in this way.

Makino was the only one who looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Oh my, so you're a princess?"

"I understand that you and Tashigi are being targeted by that secret society, but why are you also being escorted by the princess?"

"There's a chance that the sea otter has spotted this ship and you too, so to ensure everyone's complete safety, we need to put an end to the coup in Alabasta. Princess Vivi is the only one who has evidence of this. The island's logs will start to accumulate around dawn, and Igaram will head directly to Alabasta as a decoy."

As he said this, Igaram eagerly prepared to depart.

There are three dolls on the ship, but Luffy has used his ability to tag them with the identification tags of Luffy, Vivi, and Tashigi. To Luffy, they are just dolls, but to the people around him, they appear to be three people.

And nearby, a karoo is lying down in a comfortable position.

"Luffy, can't you treat that Mallugamo duck like you did when you treated Merry?"

"Unlike stopping the bleeding, if you remove the tag from a broken bone, it could heal in a dangerous state. Also, the skeletal structure of humans and birds is very different, so it's safer to treat it properly than to do it poorly."

Luffy is neither a doctor nor a veterinarian. He can only perform a simulacrum of medical treatment using his abilities, but he cannot perform proper medical examinations.

"We'll head to Alabasta on the normal route."

"But you're up against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right? And stopping a coup d'état... is that really going to be okay?"

"We've just taken action regarding the coup. I don't want to rely on them, but we have a plan."

"...Luffy, no way."

Luffy's response to Kaya's worries. Makino, who had a hunch about it, replied, "Yes, that's impossible."

Naval Headquarters

The government's largest organization, fighting pirates day and night to protect ordinary citizens.

The room on the top floor is the office of the Admiral, the head of the Navy.

"In the East Blue, Captain Kuro, who was hiding to hunt down Arlong, who was ruling an island, was captured, and then Leader Krieg, who was trying to attack Rogue Town, was subdued... and now we have information that the Seven Warlords of the Sea are taking over the country..."

The only people in the room were Sengoku, who holds the title of Fleet Admiral, and Garp, a veteran soldier known as a hero of the Navy.

Although there is a hierarchical relationship between their positions, the two are colleagues and comrades in arms, and they are very familiar with each other.

It's common for Garp to suddenly show up in a room, but the problem is what he brought with him.

The Great RouteGrand LineAt the beginning of the story, Garp's grandson, Luffy, contacts him from an island.

"Buhahaha! As expected of my grandson! He's doing great things!!"

"Just like you, it's a headache for me...!"

That name had been a hot topic in the Navy recently. In the East Blue, which is said to be both the weakest and the most peaceful, a high-value wanted man had been captured by a rookie adventurer.

In particular, Arlong has built a close relationship with the Navy branch in the East Blue, and Captain Kuro is a pirate who was supposed to have been executed three years ago.

Both were scandals for the Navy, and even Admiral Sengoku had heard the complaints from the citizens.

"But we can't just throw it away."

"I know this without you having to tell me!! But, even when mobilizing the army, we have no choice but to be cautious."

This time, there is information that the Seven Warlords are plotting to take over a member state of the government.

It is no exaggeration to say that the oceans of this world are maintained in a dangerous balance by three forces: the four huge pirate groups known as the "Four Emperors," the "Navy" that upholds justice, and the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," which can be considered a third force.

If the Navy were to send troops against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there's no telling what would happen.

"First, we need to gather information. And then there's the matter of protecting Princess Vivi..."

"You don't have to worry about that. My grandson is with you!"

Garp laughed, "Gahahaha," and Sengoku held his head in his hands. However, he understood that it would be less dangerous to leave him in charge of escorting them to Alabasta than to stay in Whiskey Peak and be attacked by the enemy after hearing that they had overpowered Arlong.

"...If something were to happen to Princess Vivi, you would be held responsible."

"Sengoku, you can't be a grandfather if you don't trust your grandson."

Garp laughed, but he had no idea that his grandson would betray his trust by engaging in "harem activities."

It was still a long way off before I found out.

So, we begin our journey after arriving at Whiskey Peak.

They're welcomed, just like in the original—though since they're not wanted in this world, I wanted it to feel like a normal, friendly town. I also wanted to have the food shortages occur by having Luffy tag them and give them food in larger quantities, but that ended up being too long, so I scrapped it.

As a result, their arrival is later than in the original, and the two arrive to eliminate Vivi.

Even in the scrapped scenario, the two arrive on the attack, and since the Whiskey Peak residents were touched by Vivi's character, I prioritized protecting Vivi over orders, like Mr. 9 and Miss Monday, so this episode is a remnant of that.

As for Karoo, I could have had him on board, but he didn't have a role, so he heads to Alabasta first with Igaram to receive treatment for his injuries. ...But it explodes shortly after departure.

This is also the first time Grandpa Garp appears in this work.

In the original, he wasn't able to ask for help from the Navy, but in this version, he's a regular citizen, so he does.

Actually, in the initial plot, I had contacted Garp and had Sengoku order an investigation, while at the same time sending guards from a nearby town (Rogue Town) to protect Vivi, and that guard would be Tashigi, but if that was the case, Smoker would come instead of Tashigi, and in fact, he would likely bring at least a platoon with him for covert operations, rather than just one... so instead of them joining up, it was decided that she would be there from the beginning.

Well, next time we'll talk about whether Vivi will be corrupted... or has been corrupted...?
