31: Chapter 31: Vivi's solemn commission, first meeting with Nicole Robin!Luffy was delighted when he saw the two ordinary fruits slowly changing into the [Bomb Fruit] and the [Floating Fruit] in the system space.
The [Bomb Fruit] can turn anything it touches into an explosive bomb, which is a great combat power if developed well.The [Light-Flat Fruit] can change the weight of an object, making it lighter, which is a bit useless.It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to throw it away.But it's still a devil fruit after all.
Weiwei watched Mr.Friday and Miss Valentine being ruthlessly crushed to death, and she was in a daze for a long time.
The curly-haired mayor lay on the ground, swallowing hard.What kind of monster had they provoked?A high-ranking official from the Baroque Works, killed without a second thought?Weren't they worried about wild retaliation?
After Luffy and his crew dealt with Miss Friday and Miss Valentine, they turned and walked towards Princess Vivi.
"Who are you?What do you want to do?Don't touch her!Come at me if you dare!" When the Curly Mayor saw this scene, he quickly got up and shouted.
"Okay, don't be nervous.Can't you see?We are not enemies.If we were, you would have died long ago." Nami said helplessly.
"No.not an enemy?" Mayor Curly looked confused.
Luffy stepped forward and helped Princess Vivi up, showing his harmless, signature smile and said, "Okay, it's okay.Don't you want to say anything, Princess Vivi?"
"I.I'm Nefertari Vivi, the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta.I'm currently lurking in Baroque Works, codenamed Miss Wednesday.And that curly-haired mayor over there is Ikareem, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, and he's also lurking in Baroque Works with me.The one lying next to me is my valet." Nefertari Vivi replied timidly.
"I'm Monkey D.Luffy, an adventurer.They are the crew of my Straw Hat Adventure Group, and I'm the captain." Luffy kept smiling.
"No.Are you really not pirates?Aren't you bounty hunters?Don't you plan to kill us?" Vivi's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"What?What?Is she a princess?Why does she look like a spunky little girl?" Sanji sighed belatedly, his beauty radar had not been activated the whole time.
"Stop talking nonsense!I'm dressed like this because I'm going undercover at Baroque Works!" Nami gave Sanji a slap on the face.
Weiwei also let down her ponytail at this time: "This is me.my true self!"
Sanji was shocked when he saw this."Oh my god, your hairstyle has ruined your looks!" "Is it really that outrageous?Are you sure it's the same person?" Sanji immediately stepped forward to offer his attention.Oh my god, his true colors were revealed.
Weiwei felt a little uncomfortable seeing this.Were these the same people who had just crushed Baroque Works?Were these the same people who had just slaughtered everyone?Weiwei was stunned, but this scene somehow softened the feeling of familiarity between them, making them feel closer.
"What on earth are you guys doing here?" asked the cute Princess Vivi.
Luffy replied while arguing with everyone, "We just entered the Grand Line.Didn't we just happen to run into you guys and come here to travel?We also helped you solve the trouble from Baroque Works."
Vivi was stunned when she heard this.Luffy continued:
"Oh, by the way, your undercover identities are useless now.Crocodile must know everything.Look, he's even sent people to hunt you down."
"Indeed, it seems we have nowhere to go." Weiwei said dejectedly.
"Wait, you just said that you have nowhere to go?Aren't you a princess?You must know that in Alabasta, the whole world belongs to the king.How could a princess like you have nowhere to go?" Ajin asked.
Of course Luffy would not interrupt their conversation at this time.Even if he knew the plot of the original work, it would not be a good idea to act recklessly.Not to mention exposing the fact that he knew the future, it was also difficult to judge what kind of immeasurable impact it would cause.
"I.it's because a few years ago, a social organization called the Baroque Works Society suddenly appeared among the people.They have such a huge influence that they now control the lifeline of the entire country.It's difficult for a princess like me to achieve anything." Weiwei was a little sad.
"Baroque Works?The Baroque Works of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Zoro asked in surprise.
"Well.Baroque Works seemed normal a few years ago.They were just doing some ordinary business activities in Alabasta, and the kingdom didn't pay much attention.But later, we discovered that this organization not only gradually controlled the country's economic lifeline, but also instigated various civil forces to initiate disputes.Later, this association even single-handedly manipulated the civil unrest that broke out among the domestic anti-government forces.Now the ruling status of the Kingdom of Alabasta is in jeopardy!
"We didn't know at first that the boss behind Baroque Works was Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.By the time we realized what was happening and wanted to stop him, it was too late.Crocodile wanted to overthrow the kingdom's regime!We, on the other hand, wanted to do our best to prevent the worst from happening, so we disguised ourselves and infiltrated Baroque Works!" Vivi told them everything.
After hearing this, the partners fell silent.They didn't know whether they should take care of this matter.After all, it had nothing to do with them.
Weiwei suddenly knelt down and pleaded, "Since you are not pirates, since you are not pirates, can you please help me save this country?"
Weiwei didn't know why she would actually use this method to beg a group of strangers to help her save a country and intervene in a country.'s power struggle, but she still chose to do it.
"Your Highness." Captain Ikareem of the Kingdom Guard choked up.If he and the others were more useful, why would it have come to this?
Luffy suddenly stepped forward and pulled Vivi up.No matter how tearful Vivi was, he shouted, "Don't kneel!Vivi!No matter when, no matter what the situation, no one is worth your kneeling!You have to have your own backbone!No one is worth kneeling to get anything done!"
Weiwei was shocked but didn't know what to say.
Luffy continued, "Even if you don't tell me, one of our future stops will definitely be Alabasta!We've accepted your commission!Guys, do you have the confidence to take on one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
The people around him smiled slightly: "Since the captain has said so, why should we, the crew members, refuse?It's just one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so we can just beat him away."
Weiwei looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
"Since it's a commission, is there a reward?" Nami instantly became interested.
"One hundred million!I am willing to represent my country and spend one hundred million Baileys to hire you to save my country!" Vivi shouted.
"Don't be so anxious.Judging from the current situation, Crocodile is not ready to implement the battle plan.Before that, Vivi, you should come with us and then go to Alabasta to beat Crocodile away." Luffy said.
"Well, Ikarem, you and your attendant should go back to Alabasta and continue to hide and collect intelligence." Vivi choked.
"Wait, Ikareem, don't leave so quickly!" Zoro's eyes flashed red, blocking his way."Since you're here, please show yourself for a moment!"
"What an interesting scene!" a queen's voice came, "I hope I didn't disturb you!"
When Ikalem saw her, he exclaimed, "Miss Sunday, Vice President of the Baroque Works!"
