Who is Mr.
0?
Any Transmigrator knows, it’s Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Would such a powerful enemy instill fear?
To say she wasn’t scared would certainly be a lie.
The difference in strength was vast, and Vivi was indeed very fearful.
But as soon as she thought of her photo being held and pondered by Imu, the ultimate boss of the Pirate King’s world, she no longer feared Crocodile.
What’s there to be afraid of?
The ultimate boss who hasn’t made a move yet, care to learn more?
Targeted by such a figure, who could be more miserable than me?
Her own combat ability was terribly weak.
Although she was a princess, she had been too incorruptible before, and she was young.
Her entire net worth was less than 500,000 Berries.
You know, in the Pirate world, a single newspaper costs 100 Berries.
500,000 sounds like a lot, but it’s actually similar to Japanese Yen in her previous life, with extremely low purchasing power.
What about the other side?
As the ultimate leader of the World Government, Imu rules over 170 Affiliated Kingdoms.
The awe-inspiring Marine in the Pirate King’s world is just a subordinate force of the World Government.
The seemingly formidable Gorosei are mere servants before Imu, with no status whatsoever.
How could she fight?
With her head?
She had no money and no people, while the other side had vast power, with more money and people than could be counted.
If she knew the opponent’s weakness, it would be easier, but Oda hasn’t revealed the relationship between Princess Vivi and Imu yet, and the unlucky Transmigrator just arrived.
She had no idea what her relationship with Imu was.
Was she a mortal enemy?
An ancestor?
It couldn’t possibly be mother and daughter, could it?
Vivi pulled her far-off thoughts back to the present.
She comforted the old minister, saying, “Don’t worry, in at least two years, and at most three, the conspiracy of the mastermind will definitely be exposed.”
She had calculated the current time point based on her age.
It was currently the haiyuan calendar year 1517.
A major event happened last year: Red-Haired Shanks joined the Four Emperors.
In the same period, a woman codenamed Ms.
All Sunday became Mr.
0’s partner, managing the daily operations of Baroque Works.
And this year, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the year Ace sets sail.
At this time, there are still two to three years until Luffy sets sail.
This is why Vivi believes Baroque Works can be resolved in at least two years and at most three.
Even if she can’t defeat Crocodile, isn’t there Luffy, who brings his own provisions to help?
Igaram, the Captain of the Royal Guard, had no doubts about her tone, which was like, “Comrades, the Eight-Year War has begun.” She was quite open about it; there were too many comedians around her, so she felt she wasn’t comedic enough and always felt out of place.
To appear less awkward, she would occasionally make herself seem a bit more comedic…
…
“Pirates, welcome to the Grand Line!”
“Welcome to Whiskey Peak!”
“Long live the men of the sea!!”
Noisy cheers echoed over the small town.
Through the faint mist, three pirate ships flying skull flags sailed in single file into the town’s southern dock.
The dock was packed with “ordinary people” who came to greet them.
They smiled, holding various flags, and looked at the fierce pirates as if they had found long-lost relatives.
Although there isn’t an idiom like “providing food and drink to the army” in this world, the Bounty Hunters of Whiskey Peak had already expressed their adoration for the pirates through their actions.
That heartfelt joy simply couldn’t be faked.
The pirates didn’t disembark immediately.
They believed their reputation had spread through a series of killings, arson, and looting to this sea area called the Grand Line, but this lively welcoming ceremony was a first.
Shouldn’t the first reaction of ordinary people seeing pirates be fear?
Igaram, the Captain of the Royal Guard, was quite amiable.
He led his subordinates in playing music and singing at the dock, which somewhat dispelled the pirates’ hostility.
Gradually, pirates began to disembark.
Mr.
9 had already led the atmosphere team to set up the venue.
Knowing that the pirates were still wary, individuals like Luffy were ultimately a minority in this era.
Pirates who had braved thorns and thistles, fighting their way into the Grand Line, would have died long ago if they lacked caution.
The atmosphere team set up a huge bonfire party in the center of the town.
Several hired acrobats performed acts such as stilt-walking and fire-hoop jumping.
Their skills were certainly not as good as Buggy the Clown’s Pirate Crew, but they were sufficient for this particular occasion.
Fine wine, delicious food, and lively entertainment quickly dismantled the pirates’ wariness.
Vivi, along with Ms.
Monday, led a group of Bounty Hunters who looked like children but were actually dwarves, and like old people but actually had premature gray hair, to manage the sales within the venue.
If you don’t spend the money you plunder, then what kind of pirate are you?
Why not go home and live a peaceful life?
The pirates’ desire to shop was not low.
Money was useless at sea; it only gained value when exchanged for equipment, supplies, and provisions in towns ashore.
Soon, a group of pirates surged towards the shopping district on the east side of the square.
This area concentrated most of Whiskey Peak’s supplies.
To facilitate management and to show the pirates that they weren’t scattered individuals or itinerant merchants who moved from place to place, Vivi even hung up a sign that read “Prince’s Magical Tools and Special Items Store.”
By this time, it was evening.
The sound of seawater hitting the reefs was faint.
Many Bounty Hunters lit torches, illuminating the trading area brightly.
In the firelight, one could see cabinets, shelves, and tables filled with a dazzling array of items, including brand new swords, as well as worn-out sea charts, compasses, and muskets.
“Come one, come all!
You won’t lose out, you won’t be fooled!
Only 99,999, only 99,999!” A middle-aged woman, holding the advertisement written by Vivi, was repeatedly shouting.
The pirate Captain, wearing a Captain’s hat, asked with slurred speech, “That, that short sword in the middle of the shelf, what is it?”
The geography of the Pirate King’s world is quite peculiar.
The Grand Line and the Red Line intersect, dividing the entire world into four sea regions: Southeast, Northwest.
Connections between the sea regions are rare, and Vivi couldn’t tell which sea region this pirate Captain was from.
She glanced back at the shelf, then slowed her speech to ensure the other party could hear and understand clearly, saying, “Ah, that…
that’s the weapon used by Hawkeye Mihawk, the world’s number one Great Swordsman.”
The pirate Captain clearly didn’t believe her; the knife on the shelf wasn’t even as big as his palm.
Vivi knew he wouldn’t believe it, and she intentionally displayed it to dispel doubts.
She cleared her throat, then asked the pirate Captain, “Have you ever seen Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk?
No?
Then it’s simple…
This is a hidden trump card Hawkeye has always kept secret.
He once used this knife to injure Red Hair, one of the Four Emperors.
I bought this knife from the Red Hair Pirates.
This knife has a resounding name: Xiao Ying Flying Knife!”
