The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

The casino owner was overjoyed. He could earn 5500 million Berries in a single day! This was an absolute windfall. After deducting the tributes paid to the big shots and nobles in the city, they could keep at least 3000 million Berries for themselves. It was a huge profit. Even pirates couldn't make money this fast.

A group of people eagerly awaited the return of the two lucrative clients.

Unfortunately, they waited in vain.

Vivi didn't bring much money with her when she came to the New World. In her original plan, 30 million Berries would have been enough. However, after her trip to the casino, she was completely broke. In order to continue gambling, she had to ask Ain for directions. She staked out a nobleman's private port, captured two ships of pirates, handed them over to the World Government's staff stationed in the Kingdom of Lulucia in exchange for bounties, and then took the money to the casino.

Not only were the procedures complicated, but they also had to be completed with her eyes closed, which was quite difficult for her. She clearly wanted to go to the casino in the south of the city, but ended up circling the city one and a half times and eventually ended up at a casino in the north of the city.

After enduring the malicious stares of numerous gamblers once again, Vivi lost the 20 million Berries she had just won. Her awakening of Observation Haki took another step forward. After saying "I'll come back tomorrow," she led Ain and Binz, the two "tools," away from the casino.

I don't understand why she confidently said "I'll come back tomorrow" in the south of the city yesterday, but then went to the north of the city today. What was her specific consideration in this whole thing? The middle-aged man in the light purple kimono who had been waiting for her in the south of the city for most of the day also followed her to the north of the city. He also lost 20 million Berries before getting up and leaving.

The middle-aged man in the light purple kimono followed in Weiwei's footsteps. Today he went to the north of the city, tomorrow to the west, and the day after he circled around outside the city twice, killing a group of bandits and two groups of road bullies. Finally, he went to the east of the city. Even though he was fifty years old and had seen a lot, he was still confused by Weiwei's actions. What exactly are you trying to do?

Chapter 73 Vivi's Observation Haki

Vivi and a middle-aged man in a light purple kimono ran around the city aimlessly.

The casinos in Lulucia's capital city are making a fortune, and everyone is overjoyed, as happy as if it were New Year's Day.

They were overjoyed. The pirates in the vicinity were really unlucky. Nobody's money comes from thin air. Neither Vivi nor the middle-aged man in the light purple kimono had the habit of carrying hundreds of millions of Berries with them. The key was that it was also inconvenient to carry them. The two of them had similar solutions. No money? Then go catch pirates! The bounties for pirates in the New World are generally high. They could easily find one with a bounty of over ten million.

Vivi would be selective about her targets, avoiding those with high bounties or powerful backers. The middle-aged man in the light purple kimono, on the other hand, was unscrupulous; he only cared about pirates, regardless of their specific names.

The two of them caught pirates, then went to the casino and lost money. After losing all their money, they went back to catching pirates.

In the end, the cash drawers of several casino owners were overflowing, and the World Government offices that exchanged bounty rewards were also emptied of cash; they were broke too!

What if you don't have money? We can only issue IOUs! You can take our IOUs to other work stations to exchange for money.

Vivi didn't mind the IOU; she took it and went to the casino.

"Give me chips." She handed the IOU to the casino staff.

The staff didn't understand what it was at first, until the casino owner saw the white bill himself and then it dawned on them.

"You...you, where did you get this receipt?" It's quite a coincidence that today, Weiwei walked into the same casino in the south of the city.

Three days ago, the casino owner personally acted as the dealer, "opening" thirty-nine hands of white for Vivi, thus kicking off a capital feast in the capital region of the Kingdom of Lulusia!

Now, looking at the certificate bearing the World Government's seal and Vivi's utterly indifferent expression, a feeling of fear finally welled up in his heart. His greed rapidly diminished, and cold sweat involuntarily covered his forehead. In the end, he fell into a vicious cycle where the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he became, the more he thought about it.

"Hahahaha—" Weiwei laughed.

She "saw" the fear in the other person's heart very clearly, and she even fueled it.

Just yesterday, her Observation Haki awakened naturally.

Her awakening is different from picking up attributes. Her Observation Haki has just manifested on the panel, showing the words "Observation Haki lv4 (600/1000)". Observation Haki is now the highest level skill she has besides "Etiquette", which is much higher than "Dance", "Music" and "Swordsmanship".

Below her "Observation Haki" is a unique Haki application technique called "Suggestion" that belongs to her alone.

Observing other people's emotions and planting a seed without their knowledge—that's her way of giving hints.

Many people have had experiences involving suggestion. For example, if someone wants to get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning to catch a train, and they think about it before going to bed, they may wake up on their own before four o'clock without an alarm clock. This is suggestion.

Vivi's hint was similar to this situation, but her command was implanted from outside, and she wasn't quite sure what it was for or how to use it. She came today to test the skill and, incidentally, to get her money back.

Her perception completely overwhelmed the casino owner, who was utterly powerless against her hints and was practically dumbfounded.

"You ask me where the voucher came from? Of course, it was given to me by a World Government employee. Do you think anyone here would dare to forge such a voucher? Hurry up and give me some chips; I want to keep playing today!"

The World Government's reputation is so great that no one dares to offend it easily; it is a behemoth that even the nobles behind these casinos dare not offend.

Fake credentials are something that can be easily investigated, so no one would dare to joke about it.

"Who are these pirates...?"

"I caught them all. After all, I didn't carry that many Berries with me. In order to have fun here, I had to catch a few pirates to exchange for money, right? Is what I did okay?"

"No, no, welcome, welcome!" The casino owner, his face ashen, wiped his sweat and hysterically shouted to the people beside him, "Quick, quick, give this man some chips!"

Vivi won! Today she bet on black for thirty-nine consecutive times, and the result was amazing. White, which she had bet on the previous two days, never appeared again. Not only did she get back all the thirty million Berries she lost at this casino, but she also made an extra ten million Berries.

This time, she didn't say anything like "I'll come again tomorrow." Instead, she happily led Ain and Binz out the door.

Not long after she left, a middle-aged man in a light purple kimono also came to the casino.

The middle-aged man was very polite, but also a little embarrassed. He took out a voucher that made the casino owner's heart skip a beat and asked in a consultative tone, "The World Government staff said that the Kingdom of Lulusia has no cash left and can only give me a voucher. Can this be exchanged for chips?"

The casino owner was a little skeptical of the receipt presented by the middle-aged man in the light purple kimono.

Vivi's previous hints came without any build-up; her actions were too abrupt and hasty. Now that the casino owner has regained his senses, the backlash is starting...

His emotions suddenly became extremely agitated.

Unconsciously, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the light purple kimono.

No matter how Vivi acts, she's not blind. The people who've been following her around, Ian and Binz, don't seem like ordinary people. Plus, Vivi is going to settle things here today. Even without using her Haki, her three types of Haki give her immense psychological power over ordinary people.

What is the Jianghu? There is no Jianghu in the traditional sense in the Kingdom of Lulusia, but many principles are the same. It is best not to mess with women, the elderly, children, and the disabled. Vivi is not very old and is somewhat related to children, so she is considered one and a half people who cannot be messed with.

The middle-aged blind man in a light purple kimono was only one of the disabled people, and given his gentle tone and the fact that he was the second person to arrive, the casino owner began to have doubts.

Could this guy be a conman? Did he know that the blind woman took money from me earlier, so is this blind man trying to scam me too?

With a wave of his hand, several muscular men surrounded him from several directions, carrying steel pipes and machetes.

The middle-aged man in the pale purple kimono sighed softly, "Why bother? I truly had no intention of taking action..."

He tapped the ground lightly with his bamboo cane... The next second, a fiery red meteor, carrying high heat energy and enormous kinetic energy, fell from the sky and crashed directly onto the casino in the horrified gazes of countless people.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Sweeping Away Organized Crime

As Weiwei left the casino in the south of the city and prepared to go to the east of the city to collect debts, she suddenly stopped and turned around to "look" in the direction of the south of the city.

In her perception, a dazzling display of color suddenly descended from the sky, trailing a fiery red tail, and crashed straight down on a spot less than ten miles behind her, where she could hear gasps of surprise from afar.

"What place is that?" she asked the female swordsman, Ain, beside her.

Ain stared blankly at her. "We just left, and you're already asking what's behind us?"

She was somewhat speechless, but to save face for the princess, she still said uncertainly, "Then it should be the casino we went to before, right?"

Weiwei nodded: "Oh... is that guy so hot-tempered? I'm thirteen, a young and impetuous age. It's understandable that I'm upset about being cheated, but a fifty-year-old man like that? Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a book by its cover... Let's continue collecting debts in the east of the city. Do you know how hard it is for me to earn my money? Those scumbags at the casino dared to cheat me out of my money!"

She'd gotten used to pretending to be blind these past few days, and was still dressed with a bamboo cane and a large cloak, strolling around at a leisurely pace.

In reality, she was also pondering the implications. This skill really required some skill and technique to use, and she had indeed been a bit too rough just now...

The news that a shooting star had wrecked the casino in the south of the city spread throughout the city in less than half a day.

The death of a fellow casino worker is always a source of amusement, and this news began to circulate among the other casino operators in the capital region. The reason? What other reason could there be for a shooting star falling from the sky? Just consider it bad luck.

Vivi couldn't find the casino in the east of the city. The shooting star had caused chaos in the city, and she stubbornly believed that passersby had misled her, refusing to admit that she had taken the wrong turn.

After circling around for most of the way, she arrived at the casino in the west of the city.

This time, without any hints, the casino simply didn't recognize her credentials.

"Hahahaha! You idiot! You dare to swindle money from me in my place? You blind fool, you..."

When dealing with a bunch of scum, Vivi wasn't going to waste any words. These guys had been treating her like an idiot, laughing maliciously for a week, and it was time to collect some interest.

She held the Huazhou sword high, black Armament Haki swirling around it. Observation Haki doesn't provide offensive power, but it can make the five senses more acute. She had an extremely clear understanding of the air currents and the surrounding buildings and environment.

She can see the structure of the house and every weak point in the building.

After charging up for more than ten seconds, when all her strength was mobilized to the limit, she slashed down fiercely.

"Wei Kingdom!"

The enormous black blade of light was incredibly sharp and carried immense kinetic energy.

The improved version of "Elbaf Spear: Overlord" is much weaker than when the Titan used it. It also lacks the indomitable and devastating power that it once possessed when used alone. Vivi's current strength has increased several times thanks to the attribute of her dog Shushu constantly picking up Titans, but it is still far from being as powerful as a real Titan.

As the name suggests, "Hegemony" can crush a country, while "Power" can only intimidate. Weiwei's current "Power" level 1 is even weaker, but even so, it's more than enough to deal with a casino.

She needed to vent, to find an outlet for her emotions, after being treated like a fool by these casinos.

The blade, imbued with Armament Haki, slashed a trench in the ground that was one meter wide, two meters deep, and over a hundred meters long.

The casino, along with several illegal establishments behind it, was completely destroyed, and the ground in the west of the city shook twice.

Vivi, too lazy to pretend anymore, pointed the knife at the dumbfounded casino staff: "Your boss is gone. Can you give me back the Pele I entrusted to you for safekeeping?"

"But...but the ledgers were all...you destroyed them..."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

"Give it back! Give it back! Give it back right now!"

......

"Boom!" Another meteor fell from the sky.

"Wei Guo!" Vivi used her ultimate move again, smashing a casino to pieces.

"Boom!" Another meteor crashed down.

"Wei Guo!" Vivi once again used force to teach a casino owner a lesson.

The casinos in the capital of the Kingdom of Lulucia, as well as the criminal gangs associated with them, were wiped out.

They were mostly focused on construction. When a meteor fell, people could run away, but houses couldn't. The same went for the blade's edge. It looked exaggerated, but actually, not many people died.

The kingdom's nobles appealed to the navy for help in capturing the criminals, but old man Zepha was at the G2 base and was very aware of what was happening in the kingdom.

Hating pirates doesn't mean the old man can tolerate other evils.

Zefa doesn't hold any important position now, but the lieutenant general at G2 base was his student back then. With just a word, the lieutenant general threw the request for help from the Kingdom of Lulucia into the trash can without even a reply.

The instigator was completely unaware of his own actions. Vivi and the middle-aged man in the light purple kimono swept away all the criminal gangs in the city, and afterwards they tacitly "bumped into" each other on the roadside.

Having awakened her Observation Haki, Vivi's mission in the Kingdom of Lulucia is now complete. She should head to Torance Town in the Kingdom of Prodens to find a Devil Fruit.

Before leaving, she treated the middle-aged man to dinner.

The other person said they wanted to eat buckwheat noodles, so they randomly picked a place on the roadside.

Vivi no longer pretended to be blind. Now she was wearing a light blue plaid shirt and white trousers, dressed like a swordsman, completely different from when she was pretending to be blind. However, the middle-aged man in the light purple kimono was indeed blind.

The two worked together seamlessly and got along very well when dealing with the evil forces in the capital of Lulucia, but they never revealed their names to each other.
