Chapter 45: Vivi's Plea & Alabasta Crisis
"By the way—it's been so long since we last met. Did you miss your Master?" I suddenly changed the subject while delivering a firm slap to Nami's plump, round ass.
"Ohhh Yes Nami missed Master so much~" Just one slap to her ass, and Nami's eyes instantly glazed over—she entered a state of arousal.
I activated the vibration on the silver rings attached to Nami's nipples and clit. Feeling the long-awaited stimulation, Nami collapsed instantly—moaning seductively.
"Go find Kaya and Nojiko. Tell them both to come to the room. Tell Kaya you want her to sit on your face again, and tell Nojiko you want her to lick your needy pussy." I slapped Nami's ass once more.
"Mmm… Yes, Master…" Long-missed pleasure constantly eroded Nami's reason. She walked toward the cabin—wriggling shyly.
BOOM! A sudden massive explosion came from the forest—followed by the sound of metal clashing—shattering the forest's silence and once again interrupting my plans for pleasure.
I leaped into the air—flying high. What I saw was a blood-boiling scene: the island's volcano was erupting—while two giants, each nearly mountain-sized, fought with weapons and shields.
Every clash of weapon and shield sent visible shockwaves rippling outward. I had zero doubt about the power behind those blows. If I tried to block with materialized telekinesis—I wouldn't last a second before being crushed. Even with my Rumble-Rumble Fruit at level 4—I doubted I could deal meaningful damage to such colossal bodies.
Hovering in midair—feeling waves of impact force against my face—my eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
It seemed the One Piece world was far more terrifying than I imagined. Just these two background characters were already this powerful. I couldn't even fathom the strength of New World powerhouses.
While immersed in this shocking sight—explosions suddenly erupted from the direction of the cave where Vivi and Igaram were.
I immediately abandoned watching the giants—flying rapidly toward the cave.
Sure enough—Baroque Works agents had arrived.
In the clearing before the cave—several familiar figures had appeared. Mr. 3 (Candle Man) and his partner Miss Goldenweek sat leisurely on chairs made of candle wax—drinking tea.
Princess Vivi was desperately dodging Mr. 5's (Bomb Man) constantly launched booger bombs.
Mr. 5's partner Miss Valentine stood nearby—holding Igaram by the collar—cruel smile on her lips. Igaram was unconscious—clearly beaten badly again.
Seeing that booger guy—rage surged within me. Boosted by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's speed—I instantly appeared before him. Mental energy condensed into a sharp spike in my hand—directly piercing his chest and shredding his heart.
In his last moment—the once-arrogant Mr. 5 looked at the hand in his chest in disbelief—unable to make a sound before collapsing lifelessly.
The moment he attacked Nami and the others—I had already sentenced him to death.
This was my first kill since arriving in the One Piece world. Yet I felt no discomfort or fear—only a blood-boiling excitement pulsing in my chest. I didn't know if this was the Desire System's influence.
Only after Mr. 5 fell did everyone react.
"Ah…!" Seeing her partner lifeless on the ground—Miss Valentine's cruel smile vanished—replaced by terror.
"It's him? Wasn't he supposed to be in Impel Down? How is he here?" Mr. 3 adjusted his glasses—looking vigilant.
"Too fast—he killed Mr. 5 instantly. We're no match—retreat." Though speaking—Miss Goldenweek still leisurely finished her tea.
I turned my gaze to Miss Valentine—feeling an eager urge. Like a vampire tasting blood for the first time—having felt the thrill of killing—I now wanted only to slaughter more—savoring life slipping away from my fingertips.
"Mr. Lin Xiu! Please—save Igaram!" Vivi's tearful cry snapped me out of it. I realized my fingers were only two centimeters from Miss Valentine's throat.
I shuddered—pulling my hand back. That violent state vanished—but the sensation remained vivid.
Was it the magic array's effect? Changing my personality so drastically—yet it felt like my own will. No—this magic array definitely had problems. I must be influenced!
I pressed my chest—frowning deeply. This wasn't as simple as Lilith claimed—she must be hiding something.
Miss Valentine—overwhelmed by terror—froze in place—trembling nonstop. Mr. 3 had already abandoned her—fleeing with Miss Goldenweek into the forest.
I couldn't be bothered with them—no real grudge. I let them disappear into the trees.
While still pondering the Desire System—Miss Valentine finally recovered from Mr. 5's death. Dropping unconscious Igaram—she raised her parasol—leaping into the sky.
Miss Valentine was the Kilo-Kilo Fruit user—able to freely change her weight. With the parasol's help—she could fly.
In an instant—she floated high above. Perhaps feeling safe—she shouted down:
"You bastard—how dare you kill Mr. 5! Baroque Works won't let you go! You'll be hunted by our agents until you die—yah?!"
Before she finished—I appeared before her—also floating in midair. My speed terrified her into screaming.
"You think only you can fly?" Hovering steadily before Miss Valentine—I openly appraised her with unrestrained eyes.
I had to admit—she was a true beauty. Her yellow dress fluttered in the wind—model-like figure fully displayed. After anger faded—I couldn't deny feeling attracted.
"Ah… stay back…!" Before I did anything—Miss Valentine screamed—as if I were about to assault her. (Though honestly—that was my intention.)
No more wasting time. I used materialized telekinesis to restrain her—carrying her back to the ship—straight into Nest 2.
Glancing over—Sadi was currently ravaging Carmen's ass like crazy. I shook my head.
I took out a pair of Seastone handcuffs (looted from Impel Down)—cuffing Miss Valentine for safety.
Then I pressed her against the fleshy wall. The flesh immediately caved in—covering her body—soon burying her completely in the meat wall. Only her beautiful face remained exposed. A tentacle gagged her mouth—beginning to pump nutrient liquid and aphrodisiac. I left Nest 2 again.
"Vivi—are you all okay?" Flying back to Vivi and Igaram—I asked with concern.
"Yes—we're fine. Thank you, Mr. Lin Xiu." Vivi wasn't injured—just covered in dust from dodging explosions—looking a bit disheveled.
In the distance—the two giants continued their battle—constant booming sounds echoing.
Vivi seemed accustomed to it. With my help—she carried unconscious Igaram back into the cave. Then we both sat by the campfire outside.
"Mr. Lin Xiu—you're very strong, right?" After a moment of silence—Vivi spoke.
"Haha—decent enough." Suddenly praised by a beauty—I scratched my head shyly.
"Back at Whiskey Peak—if not for us dragging you down—you could have beaten Crocodile, right?" Vivi's gaze toward me was intense.
"Hahaha—how can you call it dragging me down? But if I meet Crocodile again—he won't be my match." No exaggeration—I recalled Crocodile's weakness: the Sand-Sand Fruit fears water. Once wet—his body can't turn to sand. Combined with Rumble-Rumble Fruit—I could crush him in minutes.
"Really? That's great! Mr. Lin Xiu—I have a request to ask of you." I already guessed what she wanted.
Then Vivi explained Alabasta's situation.
Alabasta was a desert kingdom—long suffering from drought—people starving—rebellion breaking out. Investigation revealed the mastermind behind the rebellion was an organization called Baroque Works.
So Vivi and Igaram infiltrated Baroque Works as agents—to uncover the identity of the mysterious leader.
Coincidentally—I arrived at Whiskey Peak. To avoid trouble—I used Rumble-Rumble Fruit power to intimidate everyone—unexpectedly drawing Crocodile's attention.
Vivi and Igaram finally learned the leader's true identity: Crocodile—one of the Seven Warlords—Alabasta's "hero."
After obtaining intel—Igaram decided to return immediately to Alabasta—report to the king. But during escape—they were exposed—forcing a desperate ship hijacking—only to be captured instantly by Crocodile. That led to my confrontation with him.
Thanks to me—Vivi and Igaram escaped Whiskey Peak alive.
Crocodile's power and influence terrified Vivi—while my two interventions gave her hope—so she decided to ask for my help.
"Mr. Lin Xiu—please help me." With that—Vivi knelt solemnly before me.
