CHAPTER 164
She heard from her father that recently, because the news of Rocks becoming the overlord of the New World had spread to all four seas, more ambitious pirates had left their home islands and entered the Grand Line from everywhere.
This caused a lot of trouble for the countries around the Grand Line.
Especially the ports of the Alabasta Kingdom. Recently they had been constantly harassed by pirates, which gave the old king of Alabasta a terrible headache.
Unfortunately, these pirates were not weak and had already injured quite a few city defense soldiers.
This also made Vivi keep the matter in mind.
While she was worrying about this, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears.
Hearing this voice, Vivi immediately looked doubtfully in Vilin's direction.
When she saw Vilin smiling and waving at her, surprise instantly appeared in her eyes.
"Vilin!"
This jerk finally remembered her.
This made Vivi's pretty face flush with excitement.
Looking at Vilin's handsome, heroic profile and tall, upright figure, Vivi lifted her blue skirt and excitedly ran toward Vilin, directly throwing herself into his arms.
However, upon seeing a beautiful mermaid with golden wavy long hair curiously staring at her, Vivi immediately lowered her head shyly, feeling her pretty face burning hot.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do with herself.
Seeing Vivi looking so embarrassed, Vilin had no choice but to smooth things over.
"Titi, Otohime is my friend — she's from the mermaid tribe." "She came specifically this time to experience the human world."
Hearing Vilin introduce her to Vivi, Otohime immediately smiled brightly and stretched out her fair hand excitedly:
"Hello, I'm Otohime!" "Nice to meet you!"
Seeing Vilin help her out, Vivi finally breathed a sigh of relief, gave Vilin a somewhat resentful glance, then extended her hand and held Otohime's.
Her movements were graceful and elegant — clearly someone who had received special training.
"Hello!" "I'm Nefeltari Vivi, Vilin's friend — and he's also my lifesaver."
After getting to know each other, the two women quickly became familiar through conversation and turned into good friends.
Walking on the wide, tidy streets, Vilin helplessly glanced at Titi and Otohime chatting excitedly.
He could only sigh and follow behind them as their bodyguard.
Seeing Vilin looking a bit dejected, a trace of smugness flashed in Titi's pitch-black pupils, and the resentment she felt toward Vilin dissipated quite a bit.
"Vilin, let this host show you around Alabasta properly these next few days!" "After all, I remember someone was chased all over the place by the Navy last time."
Seeing Titi smiling mischievously at him, Vilin immediately covered his face awkwardly.
Hearing Titi's words brought back memories of being chased everywhere by that jerk Garp.
Seeing Vilin look so embarrassed, Titi stopped teasing him and instead took his hand, leading him toward a very exquisitely decorated restaurant.
Vilin felt a novel sensation holding Titi's soft, fair little hand.
Soon, under Titi's guidance, Vilin and Otohime arrived at the most luxurious restaurant in Alabasta.
Upon entering the restaurant, the staff immediately used the highest level of etiquette to receive Vilin and Otohime after seeing it was the princess herself.
Sitting at an elegant dining table, Titi curiously asked about Vilin's experiences over the years.
Seeing Titi so curious, Vilin began recounting with a nostalgic expression.
Hearing about Vilin's many legendary adventures, Titi's gaze toward him became much more complicated.
She greatly admired Vilin.
Moreover, Vilin was now an executive of the Rocks Pirates — practically a super-strong pirate who ruled the seas.
This made her feel somewhat unfamiliar for a moment.
Seeing Titi like this, Vilin immediately reached out, held her smooth jade hand, and showed her a gentle smile:
"Is this how you treat your friends?"
Feeling her hand tightly held by Vilin, Titi's snow-white pretty face instantly flushed red.
She lowered her eyes, subtly glanced at Vilin, then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her previous state, showing Vilin a happy smile.
Hearing Titi's inner thoughts, Vilin finally let go of her hand with satisfaction and focused on enjoying the delicious food on the table.
Seeing Vilin and Otohime eating happily, Titi's beautiful big eyes narrowed into crescents.
She smiled, resting her sharp chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed unblinkingly on Vilin's profile.
After Vilin and Otohime finished eating, she immediately took them to the best hotel in Alabasta to stay.
Over the next few days, under Titi's guidance, Vilin and Otohime toured almost every area of Alubarna.
They left laughter and joy in many places.
After spending this time together, the relationship between Vilin and Titi developed rapidly — the two were almost inseparable.
After a day of playing, seeing both women looked a bit tired, Vilin brought them back to the hotel to rest.
Inside a luxuriously decorated room.
Seeing Otohime jump into the pool to rest, Vilin could no longer suppress his affection for Titi.
With a domineering expression, he wrapped his arms around Titi's slender waist, leaned in, and kissed her sexy lips.
Seeing Vilin being so bold, Titi's snow-white pretty face instantly turned bright red with shyness.
Feeling Vilin's aggression, Titi's soft body immediately went weak and leaned against Vilin.
She tried hard to respond to Vilin's advances, but soon she was completely overwhelmed.
Her cheeks flushed, she lay against Vilin's broad shoulders, panting heavily.
Seeing Titi couldn't take it anymore, Vilin reluctantly stopped his attack, wrapped his arms around her soft waist, and seriously admired Titi's peach-blossom-like beautiful face.
Unknowingly, his hand had already slipped inside Titi's loose princess dress.
Feeling Vilin's movement, Titi immediately felt her heartbeat accelerate.
Then, with a flushed face, she pushed Vilin away, quickly ran toward the door, and shouted back at Vilin without looking:
"Vilin, it's late today — I'll come find you tomorrow!"
Seeing Titi shyly escape from his embrace, Vilin didn't chase her. Instead, he leaned against the door with a smile and quietly watched Titi run away holding her light-blue princess dress, stepping quickly in her silver high heels.
Through his special Observation Haki, he had long understood Titi's feelings.
Listening to Titi's inner voice, Vilin found it very amusing.
Blushing deeply, Titi didn't relax until she ran all the way back to her palace. She quickly calmed her restless heart.
Recalling their intimate contact, a silly smile appeared on her lips.
Thinking about these past few days, she always felt it was somewhat unreal.
Now, not only had she seen the person she missed so much, but she had also spent an extremely precious time with him.
This made her feel incredibly happy.
