The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Vivi nodded and instructed the undead pirates, "Yes, you all follow the sound to find it."

Kaido's palace has quite a few rooms. Vivi has been here twice before, but she's not familiar with the route, so it's better to have her subordinates find them now.

She could only stand there and wait with Mr. 3, the "tool".

Pirates would occasionally discover her as an intruder, but Vivi would not hesitate to slash them half to death with a single blow before dragging them into her own river of death.

The only pity is that because her River of Death is a Devil Fruit ability, it cannot accommodate other Devil Fruit users, not even artificial Devil Fruit users. At present, it can only accommodate some ordinary pirates.

If she could store it, she would have already put Mr. 3 inside. Now she has to remind him to be careful and not to be reckless and lose his life.

"Don't worry, Mr. 0, I understand." Mr. 3 subconsciously thought of her employer, and he acted arrogantly in front of her employer, making Vivi want to kick him.

Not long after, she received news that several undead pirates had been attacked. She instructed Mr. 3 to stay hidden, and rushed up to the side corridor on the first floor. She pushed open a door with the words "Woman's Difficulty" on it, quickly scanned the room, and immediately saw Yamato, who was fixed in mid-air by spider silk.

"Hey, big wolfhound, what game are you playing?"

Yamato frowned: "I'm not a wolfhound, but, um, little bat, thank you for saving me!"

It had been almost a year since they last met. Yamato was still wearing a white kimono, with the same shimenawa (traditional Japanese rope) wrapped around her waist as Kaido.

Suspended in mid-air, she showed no fear. Vivi followed her gaze to the blonde woman lounging lazily on the tatami mat on the other side of the room.

I don't know what she ate to grow up like this, it's unbelievable that a woman can be over eight meters tall.

The blonde woman casually puffed on her pipe. She was wearing a Wano Country-style off-shoulder kimono. She slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said in an ambiguous tone, "I thought the one who came to rescue Master Yamato would be a handsome young man. I didn't expect it to be a girl. What a disappointment."

Vivi pointed the black sword Qiushui at her: "I know you, Black Maria from the Flying Six, right?"

“Yes, it is I. Why do you have to fight with your older sister, little sister? Let’s play a game together, shall we?” Black Maria said with a charming smile.

Chapter 233 Vivi vs. Black Maria

The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Vivi gave the giant woman a strange look. If she were shrunk down several times, she would indeed be a stunningly beautiful woman. However, only Kaido could appreciate such a woman now. For ordinary humans, Black Maria's eight-meter height was simply too tall and too big.

Her tone was tinged with suspicion: "Hey, big wolfhound, I heard this woman and your father are..."

Yamato was clever; he understood the meaning behind her words and said decisively, "She has nothing to do with me! Defeat her!"

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Weiwei instantly understood—what an amazing relationship this was!

You can tell just by looking at their ages. Yamato is 25 years old this year, and this black Maria looks to be about the same age, maybe two or three years older.

There are many rumors circulating about the relationship between Black Maria and Kaido.

I treated you like a sister, and you want to be my mother? The intense hostility between her and Yamato is so obvious; this family relationship could easily be made into a twenty-episode TV series.

I never would have guessed that Kaido, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is such a womanizer. Before leaving, he entrusted his disobedient daughter to his mistress. There's a lot of scheming involved.

"Alright, watch me take her down." Weiwei leaped into the air, her body like a drawn bow, gathering power in a very short time.

Black Maria's ability to become Kaido's mistress shows her exceptional discernment. She immediately dropped her seductive demeanor, and that wasn't enough; her long, slender human legs were instantly replaced by eight black spider legs.

In less than two seconds, she transformed into a giant monster with the upper body of a beautiful human woman and the lower body of a spider.

She ate the Spider Fruit, an Ancient Zoan type, specifically the Rose Ancient Wolf Spider Devil Fruit.

He then entered his half-beast form, wielding a long staff with a huge wheel embedded in the front. Flames surrounded the wheel, and a human head appeared prominently in the center of the flames.

She brandished her long staff, flames danced everywhere, and with a furious shout, she swung the staff at a tricky angle towards Weiwei.

This is the first time Vivi has fought an enemy of such enormous size. They are eight meters tall. Can she still use the same techniques she uses against ordinary people? Are their hearts located in the same place as ordinary people? These are all unknowns. As a swordsman, she cannot fight a battle she is not confident of winning.

To test the enemy's strength, she used a tactic she hadn't used in a while.

"Lion. Thousand Cut Valley!"

A dense barrage of blades, some slashing, some cutting, some thrusting, rained down on Black Maria.

Vivi's move at this moment was almost on par with the Golden Lion's. Black Maria shouted and swung her long staff so tightly that it deflected all of Vivi's blades.

This woman also displayed remarkable close-combat skills, and while resisting "Lion. Thousand Cut Valley," she didn't forget to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Is that old bastard Shiki's trick? Wasn't that old bastard killed by Lord Kaido?"

With a flick of her finger, a thick, foul-smelling strand of spider silk flew toward Vivi's face.

Unsure whether the substance was poisonous or had some other effect, Vivi unleashed her Armament Haki and struck out with her palm towards the direction of the spider silk.

"Ryuo!" The spider silk was swatted away by the outward-released Armament Haki at intervals of several tens of centimeters.

Black Maria smiled slightly, stuck out her tongue, and ate the spider silk back in.

Vivi waved her hand at the Dead River not far away, and dozens of blood arrows condensed and shot towards Black Maria from several directions.

"Blood? Strange Devil Fruit ability!" Black Maria's staff skills were quite excellent. She easily neutralized Vivi's killing moves with smashing, flicking, and tapping. She swung her staff back up and turned defense into offense, splashing flames from the staff at Vivi like rain.

Vivi also manipulated the blood to form a barrier above her head, blocking the flames.

"Little sister, please stop hitting me. I'll admit defeat, okay?" the black Maria said seductively.

Before Vivi could even speak, Yamato's side started cursing: "Shameless! Maria, you are a disgrace to Wano Country!"

Black Maria giggled, "Young Master Yamato doesn't know how lucky he is! How could you possibly understand the thoughts of us poor souls? Isn't that right, little swordswoman... Damn it!"

She was greeted by a magnificent blade of light! The blade sliced ​​through the air, slashing straight at Black Maria's abdomen. Not knowing why her charm illusion had failed, she could only abandon her seductive demeanor and wave her hand to create several layers of incredibly resilient spider webs for defense.

But she didn't expect that Vivi's attack was a feint. The attack created centrifugal force, and the black Maria's body was pulled by the suction, crashing into the spider silk barrier she had created. She was involuntarily pushed forward several steps. Vivi quickly withdrew her sword and then swung it a second time at an even faster speed.

"Sky Soaring Dragon Flash!" The two moves, Wave Slash and Dragon Slash, were combined into one, unleashing a strike that represented Vivi's current peak level with even greater speed and power.

The spider silk barrier was cleaved through, followed by a crisp "crack" as Black Maria's staff was severed at one-third of its length, leaving a deep wound on the abdomen of her ancient wolf spider.

"Huh?" After cutting the long stick, Vivi realized that the stick was actually a living thing. Was this some kind of weapon that had eaten a Devil Fruit?

"Beautiful big sister, let me taste your blood!" Vivi stretched out a hand, her palm filled with dark red blood energy. Her right hand's five fingers were like claws, her nails like five sharp daggers. Taking advantage of Black Maria's injured and backward lean, she stabbed at her snow-white neck.

"Hmph!" The seemingly frail black Maria raised her eyebrows. As if she felt no pain, she ignored her own injuries, clenched her left fist, and threw a hook punch at Vivi. At the same time, she spread her right hand and shot out dense spider silk at Vivi.

Vivi dared not let the spider silk touch her, so she used Armament Haki to deflect it again. Black Maria also dared not take her claw attack head-on, so she also covered her body with a thick layer of Armament Haki, and then raised her elbow to strike Vivi's face.

This woman was a master of martial arts; her moves were relentless. Vivi countered each move, relying on her superior swordsmanship to suppress the Black Maria's fierce attacks.

With her impressive physical skills, the alluring illusions created using her Devil Fruit powers, spider silk, poison, and fire, Black Maria truly lives up to her reputation as Kaido's woman; her abilities are incredibly comprehensive. Vivi fought her for over twenty rounds, yet only managed to gain a slight advantage.

She thought it was very incongruous to see the six-meter-tall King fighting the three-meter-tall Akainu before, and now the eight-meter-tall Black Maria fighting against her three-meter-tall self is even stranger.

Vivi kept using her levitation ability to move in mid-air, and often saw two snow-white giant mountains swaying in front of her, making her dizzy! This thing seriously affected her combat ability.

What did you Beasts Pirates eat to grow up like this? She made up her mind: she wouldn't cut it down; she'd let Yamato smash it!

"Big wolfhound! Are you done yet?" Vivi suddenly asked while she was hitting him. Black Maria suddenly realized something and immediately turned to look at the other person.

At this moment, Mr. 3 had already lowered Yamato from mid-air.

Chapter 234 Flying Six

What's difficult for some is easy for others. During the Marineford War, Ace could easily unlock his handcuffs. The handcuffs on Yamato now were obviously much cruder. Mr. 3's right index finger turned into wax, probed into the keyhole, then solidified into wax, and with a gentle twist, it opened.

The same method was used to unlock the handcuffs on the other hand as well.

Without the suppression of the sea stone within the handcuffs, Yamato's power was completely unleashed.

She can now transform using her Devil Fruit powers.

Mr. 3 has no way to deal with the incredibly sticky spider silk, but Yamato does.

Her face stretched forward, her teeth became extremely sharp, and her eyes flashed with a light that could be called wisdom. In an instant, she activated her Devil Fruit power and transformed into the guardian deity of Wano Country, the Great Mouth God, also known as the "Big Wolf Dog" form Vivi mentioned. Then she took a deep breath and sprayed a cloud of freezing air at the spider silk that trapped her around her.

The freezing air of the Great God of the Big Mouth could withstand the dragon breath of Kaido in his Azure Dragon form, but the spider silk was far inferior in comparison. The spider silk and walls within a radius of more than ten meters were all frozen. Then, Yamato shook his arm, the spider silk shattered, and he landed lightly on the ground.

She first thanked Mr. 3 very politely, then looked around and quickly found her spiked club in the next room.

"Well done!" Vivi praised him a couple of times, but seeing Mr. 3's smug look, she finally gave up on the idea of ​​knocking him out and leaving him there.

Mr. 3 is still valuable for doing some infrastructure work, so it would be a waste to just discard him.

"Wow, my power is amazing!" Yamato said this arrogantly.

Once the shackles were broken, the power that had been suppressed within Yamato for many years suddenly erupted.

Just by watching from the sidelines, one could tell that her domineering aura, strength, speed, and stamina were all rapidly increasing. In fact, saying "increasing" might not be quite accurate, as those powers originally belonged to her; they had simply been suppressed before.

She picked up the spiked club, swung it twice quickly, and found that the weapon, which she usually found easy to use, now felt surprisingly light.

Vivi glanced back at Yamato twice; the Yamato she felt now was incredibly strong!

He's stronger than Ace and Crocodile, but not as strong as Akainu or Kizaru.

Or maybe she's a bit stronger than Marco? Vivi hasn't fought Marco, so it's hard to say.

"After leaving Onigashima, fight me properly, with all your might," she said solemnly.

Yamato readily replied, "Alright, I agree."

"Huh?!" Vivi wanted to hand over the mistress, Black Maria, to Yamato, her own daughter, to deal with, but when she turned around, she found that the mistress had already run away. Black Maria's eight rose tarantula legs kept slapping the floor, making a rapid "thump-thump" sound. The mistress was running very fast and was about to disappear from sight.

She was like, "Holy crap! What do you mean? You see me and unleash a barrage of poison silk, fire, martial arts, and staff techniques, but when you see Yamato, you turn and run? Aren't you just looking down on me?!"

Weiwei was annoyed and didn't have time to argue with her, so she let her go.

She grabbed Yamato's wrist: "Let's hurry! We'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

She and Black Maria exchanged only about a dozen blows, which didn't actually take much time.

In such a short time, the battle between Akainu and King was over.

Without the mysterious flames behind him, King was no match for Akainu.

King was severely injured. His six-meter-tall frame was limp, as if his spine had been removed. There was a large hole in his chest, and burning lava was flowing out of the wound. He was handcuffed on his wrists and was being carried by Vice Admiral Onigumo towards a naval warship like a piece of cargo.

Akainu personally covered the rear, and the Marine soldiers evacuated Onigashima in an efficient manner.

Vivi saw this scene through her Observation Haki, and her expression was similar to Ng Man-tat's: "Don't go! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

She grabbed Yamato and ran.

As they ran, at the end of a corridor, they encountered Queen the Plague, who had rushed back from Wano Country. This guy had gone to Kyoshiro's brothel for a drinking session, and halfway through, he received news that his hideout had been attacked by the Navy, so he hurriedly led his men back.

The forces gathered at this moment were not many, but if they waited a little longer, and the pirates from all directions gathered, the tens of thousands of pirates of the Beast Pirates could really surround them. This is the New World, not the first half of the Grand Line where a single Conqueror's Haki can stun tens of thousands of people. The pirates here are all elites.

The fat man Quinn, with a cigar in his mouth, glanced at the black Maria who had deserted at the last minute. He couldn't say anything too harsh to this woman. Before he could set up an encirclement, Vivi and Yamato had already run out from the other end of the corridor.
