The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

His decisiveness caused Im great suffering.

Im was preparing to leave Crocodile's body and return to her original body in Mary Geoise, but Crocodile kept extracting energy from the Devil Fruit, forcibly dragging her here, making it impossible for her to escape in her haste.

Without a Devil Fruit as a support, does a single consciousness think it can fly from the moon back to the blue planet? She's not a Nascent Soul cultivator from a fantasy world; she doesn't have that ability! She wouldn't be able to fly very far before her consciousness is completely obliterated.

She was now caught in a dilemma. Zhi Chi's shortcomings were exposed, and the more she thought about it, the less she dared to take any risks.

She clearly saw through Vivi's true intention to bury her in the body of a sand crocodile, but she hesitated and missed her only chance.

"Die!"

"Die! Destroy everything! Destroy everything!"

"Erosion of Reincarnation!!"

Crocodile's face was contorted with rage, and he was working himself to the limit. On the moon, such a desolate planet, he created countless sands, covering the entire planet again and again. The price he paid was that he overdrawn his life force, soul, and Devil Fruit power.

The limit for Logia-type Devil Fruit users is destroying a city, and the limit for awakened Logia-type Devil Fruit users is destroying a country, just like the Alabasta desert created by Im. In any case, the power of Devil Fruits has its limits. Now Crocodile is trying to turn the entire moon into sand, which clearly exceeds the limits of Devil Fruits.

The sand crocodile was determined to take them both down with him, and Vivi was also in a sorry state. The swirling yellow sand not only covered her head and face, but also carried Im's hatred. Vivi's own life force was also drained by the sand. The lunar underground city was filled with yellow sand, and all the machinery stopped working. In the end, she had nowhere to hide, so she could only create a thick blood cocoon and hide inside, letting the sand crocodile attack with its endless sand.

The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

"Ptooey!" After an unknown amount of time, when she could no longer sense the life force of the sand crocodiles, Vivi emerged from the bottom of the sand sea as if swimming. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't be beautiful when she's covered in sand. She spat out the sand from her mouth, shook her collar, and then looked around.

Good heavens, after four hours of relentless bombardment, the entire lunar landscape has been altered.

The moon was originally a round sphere, but now, due to the repeated erosion of the region where Vivi is located, the moon has become an irregular sphere.

The moon's own gravity is insufficient, so a large number of fine sand grains float in mid-air, while the coarser sand grains surround the moon like rings, according to their mass, making it look like Saturn's rings in our previous solar system.

"Sigh... Actually, we cooperated really well. I never intended to kill you..." Vivi sighed as she looked at the sand crocodile that had turned into a stone statue.

Crocodile has a wife and children at home, how should I explain all this? It's a bit of a headache.

Im's will also vanished with Crocodile's death. If there is enough energy, the Sand-Sand Fruit will be revived. As the will within a Devil Fruit, theoretically, Im will be resurrected again at that time.

Vivi was able to maintain her will forever by relying on her awakened vampire form Devil Fruit, and Im could do the same.

From this perspective, she and Im replaced the will of the "god" or "demon" in the original Devil Fruit. After their physical bodies decayed, their will could continue forever, so they were no longer human.

However, humans are ultimately different from those ancient "demons." After dying completely once, is the consciousness that is resurrected still the same as before? Referring to the case of the Op-Op Fruit, the energy inside the Devil Fruit is greatly depleted. It would take at least a hundred years to accumulate energy again and reappear in the form of a Devil Fruit before the world.

Vivi bought herself a crucial hundred years. Even if Im were to awaken fully intact a hundred years later, their wandering planet project would have already begun, and they would have long since wandered to some unknown star system.

"Farewell, rulers of the World Government. Farewell, nameless ancestors of the Nefertari family..."

Vivi turned to return to the blue planet when suddenly a head popped out of the desert in the distance.

"Pah! Where is this place?" Luffy had white hair and looked a bit old, but his expression was no different from before. He looked around blankly, feeling that this place was very unfamiliar.

From afar, he spotted Weiwei and waved with a bright smile, asking, "Weiwei! Where is this place?"

Has the influence of Nika's form been completely eliminated? Or has it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing him to reach the level of an awakened Devil Fruit?

Vivi looked Luffy up and down. The silly boy's strength had increased significantly. Before, he was only at the level of a Yonko's second-in-command, but now he had completely entered the level of a Yonko's general.

However, Luffy's awakening is similar to that of Bullet, Doflamingo, and Katakuri; it is very close to awakening but does not actually transcend the limits of Devil Fruits.

Even without reaching the true awakening level, this guy's cheating is just too overpowered!

She nodded: "This is the moon, a satellite of the blue planet."

Luffy looked completely bewildered.

Knowing he didn't understand, Vivi didn't bother to explain further. She grabbed Luffy's hand, leaped into the air, and returned to the blue planet.

She flew over a thousand meters, then turned around and found Luffy standing still. She had only stretched Luffy's arm over a thousand meters. Speechless, she flew back.

Luffy searched the desert for a while and finally found his straw hat. He happily put it on and then pointed to the blue planet below and asked Vivi.

What place is that?

Vivi scratched her head, unsure how to explain to this illiterate man: "That's the Blue Planet, the place where we were born. The East Blue, West Blue, Grand Line, New World, and Wano Country are all on this planet in front of you. We call our home planet the Blue Planet, and the place we're standing on right now is what's commonly known as the moon."

Luffy stroked his chin, tilting his head as if he found the answer somewhat difficult to understand: "Grandpa said the moon is a big pancake hanging in the sky, is that right?"

A "well" character popped out on Vivi's forehead. What kind of nonsense is this? Garp can't be this illiterate, right?

She waved her hands repeatedly, trying to use words that Luffy could understand: "No, no, this has nothing to do with the moon... The moon, like our blue planet, is also... um, a world. It used to have oceans and towns, but they were abandoned later."

Luffy pointed to the stars in the distance: "Are those glittering things also stars?"

Weiwei nodded: "Yes, some stars are closer than others. The brighter and larger the star looks, the closer it is to us, and vice versa."

Luffy gazed at the starry sky and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Vivi returned to the blue planet with Luffy, who now had white hair.

As a matter of course, Fat Mom obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. After gaining the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, this 68-year-old woman made beating up 90-year-old Kong like it was nothing. Shanks didn't help at all, and Fat Mom defeated Kong all by herself.

Kaido reawakened and was captured by Yamato and his crew along with Blackbeard.

The World Government's last elite forces were essentially traded away with the pirates.

Im's plan is not hard to guess. As long as Vivi is no longer the leader of the Navy and the New World Government's army, the rest can be defeated and incorporated by themselves. But the pirates are different. There are too many variables. The pirates must be kicked out of the game in advance.

Im calculated the beginning, but not the end.

The World Government's elite forces were wiped out, leaving them completely powerless to resist.

A month later, Alabasta's 200,000-strong army was the first to breach the Heavenly Dragon Gate of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. The two elders, Gore and Abel, refused to surrender and died in battle.

Vivi searched Mary Geoise for two days but couldn't find Im's Flower Chamber, nor could she find her unconscious, sleeping body, the giant straw hat, or the Void Throne.

If we can't find it, we can't find it. It's just a mindless body.

The New World Government emerged victorious, and the government planned to spend thirty years gradually making the public understand the future situation and some of the government's measures.

Vivi had no attachment to power and gracefully retired, leaving only a nominal leadership title for the Nefertari family. In the future, there would be no more supreme Celestial Dragons; everyone would be equal in terms of personality, and the prime minister of the government would be elected by the people of the member states for a ten-year term.

The first prime minister was Aokiji. After Aokiji completed his ten-year term, the second prime minister was Smoker. Tashigi, the pretty young woman, became the deputy prime minister, working herself to the bone, and her nearsightedness got worse and worse...

Over the course of ten years, Robin rebuilt Ohara, the city of scholars, and the Alabasta desert was greatly improved. While not exactly scenic, it was no longer as desolate as before.

In front of the gates of the capital Albana, Vivi had a statue of a sand crocodile erected.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Regardless of what Crocodile did before, objectively speaking, he did help Vivi thwart Im's conspiracy. In addition, Baroque Works has always been promoted as the most advanced organization in Alabasta. Now, to say that the founder was an ambitious man who tried to overthrow the rule of Alabasta? It's too troublesome to explain. Let Crocodile continue to be the hero of Alabasta.

"Weiwei! Come quick! We're about to leave!"

Luffy spent ten years preparing, and Franky combined the original Thousand Sunny with Vivi's Ark Maxim to create the Thousand Sunny Maxim, which is now capable of space travel.

Vivi wanted to find a way to awaken the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in space, so she accepted Luffy's invitation to become the navigator of the new ship! There was no other way; the ship needed a lot of lightning power, and currently only she could control it.

Yamato, Robin, and Karu the duck also boarded Luffy's ship, joining the original Straw Hat crew, and they prepared to go on an adventure in space.

Luffy sat at the bow of the ship, arms raised high, and exclaimed with joy, "Let's go! I'm going to be the Pirate King of the Universe!"
