Even though Smoker had a look on his Face as if he wanted to eat someone, as a loyal subordinate, Sergeant Tashigi still could not provide much information; she could not just make things up.
She tried her best to recall more details, but her head was still buzzing, and being able to hold a normal conversation was already a sign of extraordinary willpower.
After thinking it over repeatedly, she could only confirm that it was a young woman.
“A woman?
A woman with this kind of Aptitude has come to Loguetown?” Smoker was full of doubt.
As far as he knew, there were only two women in the world who possessed this kind of Haki: one was one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and the other was one of the Shichibukai, the Empress, Boa Hancock.
Big Mom was ruled out first.
No matter how daring the men in Loguetown were, they wouldn’t harbor lustful thoughts towards a woman who was nearly nine meters tall, weighed in tons, had a mouth full of fangs, and looked ferocious.
He knew the men of Loguetown very well; they weren’t that tough.
With Big Mom eliminated, only one suspect remained: one of the Shichibukai, the Empress, Boa Hancock!
As for those men who possessed Conqueror’s Haki, the chance of them pinching their voices and wearing women’s clothing to cause trouble in Loguetown was extremely slim.
Experts had their Face to maintain, after all!
…
While the Marines were scouring the town for this mysterious woman whose name, age, and appearance were unknown, Vivi ran a lap around the town.
Finally, she had to call for her pet Duck, and with the pet’s guidance, she finally returned to the Baroque Works stronghold in Loguetown.
First, she had a big meal, and then she went to sleep.
She slept until the morning of the third day, and only then did she sit up to study her newly acquired ability.
Conqueror’s Haki!
Don’t believe the words of the Happo Navy leader, Green Pepper, about how “in the New World, people with Conqueror’s Haki are as numerous as carp crossing the river.” Judging from the old man Green Pepper’s experience, there were indeed a whole bunch of people from his era and level who possessed Conqueror’s Haki, including himself, Pirate King Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, Kaido, Big Mom, Sengoku, Whitebeard, and Kozuki Oden.
This whole bunch of people had Conqueror’s Haki, and it seemed like there were quite a lot of them, but in reality?
These people, without exception, belonged to the pinnacle of that era.
It wasn’t strange that they had Conqueror’s Haki; it would be strange if they didn’t.
Nowadays, the older generation of powerhouses has either retired or died, and Haoshoku is definitely a rarity on the sea.
Vivi was extremely satisfied with her Awakening of Haoshoku.
King’s Aptitude!
It sounded awesome!
She had no doubts about returning home to inherit the throne.
That throne in Alabasta belonged to her; whether calculated by legal principles or bloodline, she was the sole heir.
Conqueror’s Haki just provided side confirmation of her King’s Aptitude, and her confidence grew even stronger.
“Sigh…
it’s a pity that this thing can’t be leveled up!” She studied the panel for a long time but couldn’t figure out a way to improve her Conqueror’s Haki.
She had tried with skills like swordsmanship, Chain, and Dance; if she practiced hard, it would be reflected in the skill list, and the values would increase slightly.
Even without picking up attributes, she could improve, just slowly.
But now, with this Conqueror’s Haki…
this thing had no level, no experience, and it really stumped her.
Vivi didn’t dare to experiment casually.
She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to control this Haki, and if she released it, it would surely cause a whole crowd of people to faint again.
“Let’s go, Karu, let’s go out and play!”
“Quack quack!”
When the Duck Karu heard they were going out to play, it jumped three meters high, incredibly happy.
Mr.
9 was still passionately conducting recruitment work.
When Vivi said she wasn’t feeling well, he took on all the work and ran off confidently to recruit people.
“Such a passionate young man…
let him be.
Let’s go buy a hat first!”
“Quack!”
Vivi’s plan to knit a hat for her pet was still at the Elementary stage.
Today, she was taking her pet Duck Karu to a hat shop to buy a new hat.
After some selection, she finally bought Karu a top hat similar to the one Sabo wore.
Wearing the hat, Karu twisted its butt in front of the mirror, full of spirit.
Vivi wandered around with her pet Duck, buying delicious milk, goggles, a brand-new backpack, and even a colorful outfit.
At first, the pet Duck was quite happy, rubbing its Face against Vivi for a long time after every purchase to show affection.
But as they kept buying, it realized something was wrong.
Was its master being too nice to it today?
A “Danger” character appeared on its forehead…
After watching Roger’s execution, Vivi felt that her “Listening to All Things” ability had improved slightly.
This ability was even more elusive than Conqueror’s Haki.
At least Conqueror’s Haki could be displayed, but the “Listening to All Things” ability couldn’t be found on her panel at all.
Without much effort, she understood the Duck’s inner thoughts.
“Don’t worry, we’ll do a small experiment in a bit.
I promise, it’s not dangerous at all!”
The more she said that, the more worried the Duck Karu became, and in the end, its Face turned pale with fear.
Vivi, with her pet Duck, snuck to the Loguetown square; the execution platform still stood in the very center of the square.
The Bounty Hunter organization was somewhat similar to the thieves’ guilds in traditional Western fantasy.
One characteristic of such organizations was being well-informed.
After such a big incident two days ago, the Marines were busy searching for the person.
For Vivi, the most dangerous place was the safest place.
The Marines had set up a dragnet at the port, but they certainly wouldn’t expect the culprit to return to the execution platform after causing such a big commotion…
“Quack?” The pet Duck looked left and right.
There didn’t seem to be anyone fighting nearby.
Did its master want it to play a game with someone here?
Vivi estimated the distance between their position and the execution platform, and then she set the “Mission” time to “one minute.”
Karu instantly lost control of its body.
Its colorful outfit looked dazzling as it ran.
The few soldiers guarding the square didn’t even react to what it was, only seeing Karu run up onto the execution platform in one breath at an almost vertical angle.
“Yay!
There really is something!” Vivi was quite excited.
She watched the pet Duck run a quick lap on the execution platform, and before the soldiers could react, it slipped away.
Vivi pretended to be a passerby, bought two cotton candies and two servings of chocolate beef stew from a street vendor in the square, and then leisurely walked to the other end of the square and whistled.
Karu poked its head out of the bushes sneakily.
During the break while Karu was eating cotton candy, Vivi looked at the light spot she had just picked up at the execution platform and found it was an achievement.
“Karu came to the famous landmark of the Pirate King’s world, the execution platform of Pirate King Gol D.
Roger.
It realized the unique aura of the Pirate King who dominated the world and made up its mind to embark on the path of the Sea Duck King (this sentence crossed out)…
The first step on the path of the King has been taken.
Karu has gained a little brother, the pet dog Shu Shu.
Let us congratulate it!”
