The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Mr. 5, who acted all high and mighty, swaggered in.

Vivi was startled. Although her current attire was completely different from that in Whiskey Hill, and Mr. 5 was looking down at the sky, she was still afraid that the other party would recognize her.

She took the opportunity to hide behind the flamboyant Bello Betty, using her red cardigan to conceal her figure.

Bello Betty glanced back curiously, while Vivi looked down, pretending to count the money in her wallet.

The Navy didn't want to make Bucky the Joker a public figure; they wanted to cut things out quickly, go through the trial process, lock him up, and that would be the end of it. They wanted to simplify all procedures as much as possible, and once he arrived, they would start the trial immediately!

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Art is an Explosion!

The judge, with his "three heads," quickly read through the text and immediately delivered his verdict.

"capital offense!"

"Innocent!"

"A compromise between the two verdicts is reached: the sentence is death, to be carried out immediately!"

"Pfft!" Sitting on the jury bench, waiting for the verdict, Navy Lieutenant Finbdy spat a mouthful of water onto the face of the man with a zipper on his mouth who was preparing to solicit a bribe of 5000 million Berries from the Landoruff Theatre Company.

He didn't even bother to apologize, staring at the judge in utter horror.

He deliberately wrote down the Navy Headquarters' decision to detain Bucky the Joker on a sticky note and tucked it into the first page of the file... The hint was so obvious, did you even read it? This is a death sentence? And it's to be carried out immediately?

Finbdi was dumbfounded. He wanted to change the outcome, but he was only a captain and had never dealt with this kind of thing before. For a moment, he was speechless and his mind went blank.

Buggy the Clown was also stunned. Devil Fruit users are usually imprisoned, so how did it become a death sentence for him? He wanted to use his Devil Fruit powers to escape, but the sea stone handcuffs made him powerless.

The judge's three "heads" started acting up again, perhaps annoyed by Bucky the Joker's cut-in, or perhaps driven mad by the intense 007 work mode.

After sentencing Bucky the Joker, he looked at Mr. 5 beside him.

The judge was not mentally sharp, but his memory was truly remarkable, practically photographic. He immediately recognized Mr. 5's true identity.

He pointed at Mr. 5 and shouted, "This guy is also on the wanted list. I remember the bounty was 1000 million Berries. Sentence! This guy is also sentenced to death!"

Mr. 5, forgetting all about maintaining a cool facade, hurriedly began to explain: "Let me explain, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is my employer. I have an exemption from the World Government..."

Before he could finish speaking, the three-headed judges sternly interrupted him.

"capital offense!"

"Innocent!"

"A compromise between the two sentences: death penalty! Execute immediately!"

Vivi in ​​the waiting room almost burst out laughing. When Randolph was being tried earlier, she thought the judge was an absolute moron, but now, looking at it from a different angle, she thought he was actually quite cute!

With heavy footsteps, eleven muscular men wielding hammers walked out from the side. They were the jurors in the courtroom. The leader of the muscular men looked around and seemed to think that Mr. 5 was taller, so he immediately decided to start with him. He swung his hammer and smashed it down on Mr. 5's head!

Without Armament Haki, without the Six Powers: Iron Body technique, and without the muscles of a giant, if a giant iron ball, large enough for one person to hug, were to smash onto Mr. 5's head, he would undoubtedly die.

He had no time to explain the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the immunity of their subordinates. He hurriedly jumped aside, and in a fit of rage, threw a booger at the juror who was swinging an iron ball!

The Explosion Fruit allows any part of his body to explode; even boogers and exhaled air are within the blast radius.

At that moment, a loud "boom" was heard, and the burly juror who was the first to be hit was blasted several meters away.

The three-headed judge was extremely excited and kept shouting "Death penalty! Death penalty! Execute immediately!"

The remaining ten jurors then swung sledgehammers and began to smash the jurors.

Left with no other choice, Mr. 5 had to retaliate.

He threw a booger over here and kicked a soldier on Enies Lobby over there.

His physical skills were almost nonexistent; his fighting ability was at the level of an ordinary person. He didn't possess Haki, and his Devil Fruit ability was also very rudimentary. However, relying solely on his "explosive" Devil Fruit ability, he managed to hold off ten jurors.

The continuous explosions were so intense that the previously solemn courtroom was instantly engulfed in flames.

Captain Iron Fist was dumbfounded, completely losing his ability to think.

The CP9 agent with the zipper on his mouth wanted to make a move, but the explosion obscured his vision, and he didn't know where the enemy was, so he could only stand there anxiously.

"Let's get out of here!" Smoke filled the air, flames soared into the sky, visibility inside was extremely low, and walls were collapsing and windows were shattering. Weiwei bent over and urged the troupe members to leave quickly.

The troupe members were all honest, law-abiding people, and at this moment they were still thinking about old man Landoruff's case.

"It's alright, didn't we say before? We'll postpone the trial! Leaving now is perfectly legal and reasonable... Hurry! This place is about to collapse!"

She quietly picked up a large rock and hurled it at Lieutenant Colonel Gobana, who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion.

The puppy Xiuxiu spent a month collecting attributes in the small garden. Her strength kept increasing. It couldn't compare to a giant, but it was much stronger than an ordinary person. At this moment, a large rock crashed down, and Lieutenant Colonel Gobana died on the spot. His death was extremely gruesome.

Vivi threw the stone at Mr. 5, and with a loud "boom," the evidence was completely destroyed. In future investigations, it would be clear that Mr. 5 had killed Lieutenant Colonel Gobarna!

"Go, go, go quickly!" After killing the plaintiff, she urged everyone to run away.

We couldn't get out through the main gate. We don't know if Mr. 5's booger blew anyone out, but the courtroom, the waiting room, and a whole area of ​​nearby buildings were almost collapsed.

Vivi and Bello Betty, two seemingly "weak" women, knocked down a wall, after which a large group of people ran out, covered in dust and dirt.

"Hurry, hurry! Run faster, run faster! Run even faster!" Weiwei stood at the door, counting heads while encouraging everyone.

"15, 16, 17... 31, wait, where did these 32 people come from?"

Bello Betty was furious: "I'm part of the troupe too!"

"Oh, oh..." Weiwei didn't mind this small matter. She counted again and found that there were exactly 32 people. She nodded, then realized that something was wrong. She counted the number of people again and found that the number of people in the troupe had become 33.

"Wait a minute, how come another one has appeared?"

“Is that your duck?” Bello Betty said.

"Quack! Quack!" The quacking of a duck rang out in the crowd. Vivi turned her head and found the duck Karu right next to her. The duck's two wings were crossed, forming an "X" shape, indicating that the quacking sound was not hers. Vivi looked at the group strangely. There was another duck in the troupe?

She quickened her pace, comparing each person's appearance with her own. Although everyone was covered in dust and looked disheveled, their features were still recognizable.

As she walked, she saw a guy with his head down, back bent, and butt sticking out, walking while imitating a duck's quack.

"Gaga! Gaga—!" Bucky the Clown's seastone handcuffs had somehow been removed, and now he was walking in the middle of their group with a sly grin on his face, occasionally putting his hands to his mouth and letting out a cheerful bark.

Vivi was exasperated. She grabbed Bucky the Clown by the collar and pulled him out of the group. After the rest of the troupe had walked some distance away, she lowered her voice and said, "Hey, Red Nose."

Bucky the Clown was still happily imitating a duck's quack: "Quack, quack..."

He suddenly realized what he was saying and shouted, "Who are you calling has a red nose?!?!"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Sand Crocodile Was Completely Stunned

The courtroom was filled with thick smoke and dust. Bucky the Joker rubbed his eyes and carefully examined Vivi, finding her familiar but unable to recall where he had seen her before.

"Who are you calling Red Nose? You dare mess with Uncle Bucky? You want to die?!"

Vivi was also a little surprised, wow!

So, this guy only cares about gold and silver? Does he have no recollection of you at all? Do women only slow down your treasure hunt?

After a couple of tentative questions, she discovered that Bucky the Clown indeed didn't recognize her.

The confidence I lost with Smoker and Bello Beatty has returned.

Vivi didn't mention Red Boy or Bakijiro again. She pointed to the burning courtroom with an air of importance and said, "I think I heard someone inside calling out 'Red Nose.' I wonder if they were calling you."

Bucky the Clown shouted excitedly, "I'm not Red Nose!"

"Yes, yes, you're not. I was just repeating what the people inside said."

Since the other party didn't recognize her, she couldn't resort to violence. Could she rely on her words to deceive them? For a moment, she really didn't have any words to say.

Bucky the Joker can be a bit silly at times, but he's also an expert at saving his own life.

He'd leave the troupe after a few casual words and then go to fight CP9 and Mr. 5? That's impossible, unless it involves a huge treasure. Under normal circumstances, this guy's fighting spirit is extremely low.

Vivi had no choice but to retreat.

Since the troupe already has a high-ranking Revolutionary Army officer, adding another pirate shouldn't be a problem, right? Putting herself in their shoes, Vivi figured the World Government and the Navy probably didn't want to capture Buggy the Clown anyway; if he escaped, so be it. The Enies Lobby explosion is what they should be concerned about...

After Vivi and Bucky the Clown cleared up the small misunderstanding about "Red Nose," they returned to the group, and the group continued running outwards.

Enies Lobby was in complete chaos. The garrison had no idea what was happening. Several officers were using Den Den Mushi to question their subordinates. Some said Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, had arrived; others said the Pirate King had been resurrected; still others said the Seven Warlords of the Sea had rebelled—there were all sorts of rumors...

By the time the Landoruff troupe reached the main gate of Judiciary Island, the explosions inside the courtroom had subsided.

Vivi guesses that the arrogant Mr. 5 has already been captured. Although the CP9 member with the zipper on his mouth is the weakest in the organization, he has no problem beating Mr. 5. The previous incident was just too hasty, and his reaction was a couple of beats slow. Once he gets serious, even the weakest CP9 member can easily beat Mr. 5.

At this moment, guarding the gate were the giants Oimo and Kashi, who were preparing to resign. As a friend of the giants, Vivi only made a call from afar, and the giants opened the gate and let them out.

They hurriedly ran out of the front island of Judiciary Island, and the troupe members prepared to find their boat.

But the naval warships arrived too quickly, and the area around Enies Lobby was already completely surrounded. Now, trying to escape by boat? That would be utterly futile.

Old man Landoruff was quite decisive; he immediately decided, "Forget about the ship! Let's take the sea train and head to Water Seven to lay low for a while!"

Most of their belongings were on the ship, and the little money they had on them had been given to CP9. The Navy blockaded Enies Lobby, and naturally they wouldn't let the sea train go either. If they wanted to board the train, in addition to the tickets, they would have to pay a large sum of money to bribe the Enies Lobby staff at the station.

The situation was extremely urgent, and Vivi couldn't care less about anything else. She directly handed 50 Berries to the stationmaster and 10 Berries to each of the twelve soldiers guarding the train. Don't ask why, the answer is that her grandfather, who grows tea trees on the mountain, is rich.

After finally bribing the soldiers on Enies Lobby, she turned around and found the rest of the troupe still standing there in a daze.

“We…we don’t have any money to buy train tickets right now…” Old man Landoruf said very embarrassedly.

"I have to pay for the train ticket?" Vivi glared at Bello Betty. "You're a high-ranking official with a bounty of over 1 million, surely you can't even afford this small amount of money?"

Still smoking, Bello Betty, exuding the aura of a powerful older sister, seemed to sense her gaze and readily shook her head: "I don't have any money. You know, there are just too many places where money is needed... We can't compare to those nobles who are rich."

Vivi was too lazy to argue with her about the topic, so she turned to look at Bucky the Clown.

There were quite a few soldiers on the Enies Lobby side of the sea train, all heavily armed. Bucky went back to hiding in the crowd, pretending to be a duck.

"Fine, fine, you win!" Weiwei gritted her teeth and continued to take out money.

A ticket costs 2000 Berries, and there are 33 of them, which is 66000 Berries.

Weiwei took out her money again, bought a ticket, and boarded the train. A bunch of people rushed into the carriage like crazy.

“Miss Jaina, today’s expenses are on me. I will definitely raise the money to pay you back as soon as possible.”

Old man Landoruff was the last to arrive. Before getting into the car, he spoke to Vivi in ​​a heavy tone.

He realized that Weiwei was no ordinary person. Who would carry so much money? The two didn't have a deep relationship, but the fact that she was willing to hand over money meant that she wanted to get away as soon as possible, and that she was genuinely rich! The kind of person who wouldn't care about a hundred thousand or two.

Weiwei knew the old man's personality; if she didn't agree, he would be conflicted for the rest of his life.
