The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Ayu was a little embarrassed; they weren't that familiar with each other, and she thought the pretty woman carrying her was a burden. But then she changed her mind. This woman was incredibly fast; her toes barely touched the ground, and she darted forward a great distance like lightning. Then, as she ran, her direction veered off course...

"You're going the wrong way! The master lives in the treehouse, not this way."

"Sister, you're wrong! You should run in the direction to your right."

"Oh dear! Sister, how did we end up back in Bianli Village again? Isn't this the east side of the village?"

Vivi is now several times faster than before, and she gets lost several times faster too...

At first, Ayu was apprehensive, but then she felt extremely happy. Since she was born, no one had ever played with her like this.

The journey was incredibly fast, and watching the scenery change rapidly along the way was a rare experience for four-year-old Ayu.

Chapter 85 Second Generation Onikiri (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Clam)

The Pirate Princess Becomes King, Chapter 85: The Second Generation Kitetsu. After a little effort, Vivi carried Tama on her back to a small valley outside Amigasa Village. With Tama's guidance, the two found a very secluded treehouse.

"Master, excuse me." Little Ayu was very polite. After receiving permission from her master, she opened the door and went inside. Weiwei followed her in.

She saw the swordsmith Tenguyama Hitetsu, who wore a tengu mask, clothes with wing decorations, and whose every word and action imitated a tengu, sitting behind the tea table with his eyes closed in meditation.

Tenguyama Hitetsu wants to take Ayu as his apprentice and have her inherit his profession as a swordsmith, but because Ayu is too young, their master-apprentice relationship is currently only verbal.

The two sides got to know each other through Ayu.

"Borrow a knife? Why should I lend you a weapon?"

The swordsmith wore a tengu mask, so his expression was unreadable; all that could be said was that his tone was very stiff.

Despite feeling a little awkward, in order to successfully "borrow" the knife, Weiwei still knelt solemnly in front of the other party and looked directly at the knifesmith.

"Kaido's shadow looms over Wano Country, and I need a weapon for self-defense."

She made no attempt to conceal her intentions and stated her purpose directly. The thought of Kaido, this formidable figure, put her under much more pressure than usual. With a knife in hand, she felt more confident, if not more.

"Kaido..." the swordsmith murmured the name that had brought immense disaster to Wano Country. He asked solemnly, "You want to deal with Kaido?"

"Yes."

"You can't beat him."

Vivi said seriously, "Ten years. If you give me ten years, I will definitely be able to defeat Kaido."

In her calculations, Luffy would be able to defeat Kaido five years later. Whether Luffy would win or not? She genuinely didn't know... She hadn't even finished reading the Nine Red Scabbards arc before she transmigrated, so who knew how Luffy would fight Kaido? With his head?! Therefore, she left herself some leeway; if five years wasn't enough, then ten! If Luffy couldn't win, she would do it herself. Of course, ideally, Luffy would fight, and she could get a free sword...

It's true that he's getting something for free, and it's also true that he wants to fight Kaido ten years from now.

Tenguyama Hitetsu seemed to sense her fighting spirit and nodded slightly.

"...The purpose of forging a sword is to kill. I am a swordsmith, not a samurai. It would be a waste for a famous sword to remain in my hands. You already have a target, right? If it agrees, you can take it. I suppose our ancestors wouldn't want their forged sword to live in seclusion in the mountains with this old man."

While Ayu was still oblivious, the swordsmith and Weiwei simultaneously looked at the wall, where a long sword with a purple cloth strip wrapped around its scabbard hung.

Seemingly sensing their gazes, a bewitching crimson light suddenly rose from the scabbard.

This is the second generation Kitetsu, a famous sword ranked among the twenty-one Great Grade Swords!

As soon as she entered the room, Weiwei's eyes were drawn to the large, sharp knife.

The previous Huazhou was already sharp enough, but Huazhou was only one of the fifty fine swords. In terms of "status" in the martial arts world, it was a whole level lower than the twenty-one great swords.

"This is a demonic sword that brings calamity. Are you sure you can use it?" Tenguyama Hitetsu asked with some concern.

Weiwei smiled: "Master Tengu Mountain, you are not a swordsman, so you don't understand the reason. Actually, when I entered the door, this sword was calling to me. If nothing unexpected happens, the master it has been waiting for is me."

To outsiders, this sounds like bragging, but the swordsmith values ​​destiny. He acknowledges that the sword is waiting for its master, but whether the master is Weiwei remains to be seen.

Vivi stood up, went to the wall, and gently took down the second-generation Kitetsu.

A demonic sword? Can it be more demonic than a vampire? A demonic sword paired with a vampire, that's a perfect match!

She drew her sword, a red light flashing on the blade. At the same time, Weiwei's eyes turned bloodshot. The two did not clash, but instead merged harmoniously, as if they had always belonged to each other.

"Huh? This...this is really amazing!" Tenguyama Hitetsu couldn't see the specific changes, but with his extremely high sensitivity to swords, he knew that the second-generation Kitetsu had accepted this master.

The knife was waiting for that person, and that person was also searching for the knife; now the two have finally met.

The great sword, forged by his ancestors, seemed to have been waiting for this woman before him.

Vivi examined her new sword carefully, using the standards of a swordsman.

First, let's look at the length. The blade of the second-generation Kitetsu is 88 centimeters long and the handle is 22 centimeters long. This length is just right for Weiwei, who is 1.8 meters tall. Any taller or shorter and it would not be suitable.

Using this knife in a three-meter-tall vampire form would be really awkward; just imagining that scene is...unpleasant.

This sword was undoubtedly made for humans. The swordsmith ancestors of Tengu Mountain Hitetsu never even considered the possibility of a three-meter-tall humanoid creature.

The blade pattern of the second-generation Kitetsu is a typical flame pattern, and it was clearly forged using the folding forging method.

In terms of design, the second-generation Kitetsu is very similar to the first and third-generation Kitetsu, with a cross-shaped tsuba (handguard) that looks rather simple.

Vivi slashed twice at the air, the tangible sensation of her blade cutting through anything clearly surpassing that of Hanazumi. She raised the Second Generation Kitetsu high, Armament Haki coiling around the blade, assuming a "Powerful Nation" charging stance.

Three seconds later, she slowly dissipated her charged-up state.

This great sword boosted her strength even more than she had imagined. Thanks to the sharpness of the blade, the charging time of "Wei Guo" was reduced to a certain extent, and the characteristics of the demon sword itself were also very suitable for her control over blood.

What a fine knife!

Vivi strongly suspected that this great sword had been waiting for the arrival of a vampire fruit user. The sword was so well-suited to her, as if it had been tailor-made for her.

With the large, sharp sword hanging at her waist, she clearly felt more confident.

Vivi reiterated her promise to challenge Kaido within ten years and help Wano Country restore normal order. Afterwards, she bid farewell to Tenguyama Hitetsu with Tama.

......

When someone "lends" you a knife, you should at least show some appreciation. It would be too perfunctory to just grab a sack of red beans afterward. Weiwei has her pride too.

Ayu couldn't explain many things clearly, so Weiwei returned to the treehouse and asked Tenguyama Feiche about the situation in Bianli Village.

A sack of red beans can only provide a temporary solution, not a cure.

It's true that Kaido is the source of all the disasters, but Kaido is too far removed from Tama. Vivi doesn't need to kill Kaido to make sure the little girl is fed. There's no question of Kaido falling down and Tama getting full. She believes there's still plenty of room for maneuver between the two.

She can't save Wano Country right now, but she can still feed a four-year-old child.

Chapter 86 Ayu's Pet (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader o0Rimuru0o)

The Pirate Princess Becomes King, Chapter 86: Tama's Pet. Through subtle questioning and careful observation, Vivi discovered that Tama had not eaten a Devil Fruit. The little girl was completely defenseless. Such a young child, living in such a harsh environment, might be killed by the aftermath of a small-scale battle at any time.

Vivi always says that her Alabasta is a hellish start, but Wano Country is the real hellish start.

Ask Tenguyama Hitetsu about the wild beasts in the forest. The swordsmith's martial arts skills are very average, and he doesn't dare to mess with many wild beasts, but he knows their distribution areas.

Having figured things out, Weiwei led Ayu into the forest.

"Don't you have any pets? Like, something really fierce and strong, that could protect you?" she asked Ayu.

Ayu was completely baffled by the question. "I'm practically starving, how could I possibly keep a pet? Are there pets these days that don't need to eat?" If there were, she'd be happy to keep one for fun; if not, then forget it...

She found the pretty lady's question strange and gently shook her head to indicate that she didn't have any pets.

Vivi pondered for a moment. This made sense. Ayu was so hungry that she had to drink cold water to fill her stomach. Under such conditions, it was indeed impossible to keep a pet. That golden retriever, Komachiyo, must have been tamed after eating a Devil Fruit, right? She wasn't quite sure.

These days, everyone has a pet: Sengoku's goat, Aokiji's penguin, Shirahoshi's shark, and Princess Nefertari Vivi's duck! These are all examples; it sounds like you're losing face if you don't have a pet by your side.

She wanted to help Tama tame a pet so that the little girl would have some ability to protect herself after she left Wano Country.

"It's okay if you don't have any. I'll summon all the animals in the forest in a bit. Just point out whichever one you like, understand?"

The little girl didn't actually understand, but she still nodded mechanically.

With a swift movement, Vivi killed two wild boars and a python.

She made the scene incredibly bloody; the smell of blood could be detected from two miles away, and ferocious beasts emerged one after another from the depths of the forest.

"Do you like this monkey? If not, then I'll kill it."

"Do you like this eagle? Think it's too big? Okay, let's look for another one."

"This rabbit is quite fat... You definitely won't like this one, rabbit, don't run! Take this! Lion. Thousand Cut Valley!"

The smell of blood grew stronger and stronger. Weiwei piled up the corpses like a small mountain, then lit a fire in a sheltered spot and roasted wild boar legs on the spot.

This stuff doesn't taste good at all without any seasoning, but both Weiwei and Ayu were starving and were so hungry that they were grateful to have any food at all, let alone being picky.

Animals have an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and fewer and fewer wild beasts are drawn by blood.

When a five-meter-tall, mountain-like golden hamster emerged from the depths of the forest, Vivi felt that the main attraction of the day had arrived.

"Woof woof!" The cypress dog was very hungry. It stared intently at the corpses of many wild animals and barked fiercely twice.

"Do you like this?" Vivi asked Ayu for the fifteenth time.

Ayu's eyes sparkled with excitement; it was clear she really liked Baiquan, but was also intimidated by his massive size and didn't want the pretty older sister to take any risks.

She hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"Looks like you really like it? That makes things easier. Just wait and see."

Vivi wiped the oil off her fingers. This time, instead of drawing her knife, she walked up to the giant dog and looked up at it.

After consuming the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, she felt her physical abilities surge, and this increase was also reflected in her Conqueror's Haki.

Her control over Conqueror's Haki has become stronger. Before, this Haki was like a train that had derailed. But as her own strength has increased, she can now control the train to some extent. She can apply Conqueror's Haki to a specific target or a certain area, instead of releasing it indiscriminately in an area-of-effect manner like before.

A crimson light flashed in his eyes, and an immense, tangible killing intent slammed directly onto Bai Quan.

"Awooo!" The massive cypress dog staggered back two steps. This guy was stronger than Vivi had expected; he hadn't fainted.

"Not bad, good willpower!" she praised. Before the dog could strike with its claws, she jumped high and delivered a whip kick to the dog's left cheek.

The immense force sent the dog flying seven or eight meters, crashing into three large trees and breaking them in the process.

Weiwei pointed at Ayu: "Be friends with her, and I'll let you off the hook."

Baiquan looked at Ayu. They seemed to click at first sight, but Baiquan wanted to live freely in the forest. It roared and pounced again. Whoever wanted to be a pet could be one; it would never submit!

......

Half an hour later, the lion-like cypress dog, while eating wild boar meat, began to think, "It's really delicious!"

Through her ability to hear all things, Vivi discovered that this guy was actually quite simple-minded and not particularly ruthless. Most of the time, he just wanted to find "people" to play with him. The scope of "people" included all the creatures in the forest, and Ayu could be included in this scope if you rounded her up.
