The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

She closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, she had already entered vampire form.

With black hair and red eyes, her somewhat alluring appearance appeared so elegant and serene in the night, yet the raging bloodlust within her burned like a raging fire. One was still, the other moved; they were two completely different states, inside and out.

She tried to calm herself down by suppressing her murderous urges, using numerous self-suggestions to quiet her mind. Then, she took a deep breath, extended her right hand, aimed it at her heart, and thrust it straight down.

"It really hurts!" The pain made her tremble all over, but she still gritted her teeth and took a drop of blood from her heart.

This drop of her heart's blood contained her will, her beliefs, and her soul; it was the essence of essence. Without hesitation, she flicked her heart's blood into the blood pool.

Chapter 91 Vivi's Family (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader o0Lilum0o)

The next second, the blood pool began to boil, and a large amount of steam appeared out of thin air. Through the steam, Weiwei saw fragments of the lives of many blood owners. These were scattered and incoherent pieces of information, mostly filled with pain and sorrow, and little joy and happiness. She was completely indifferent to the joys and sorrows of passersby. After these fragments disappeared, the blood overflowing in the blood pool seemed to receive some signal and quickly converged. In the end, the pool full of mixed blood turned into a small clump of pure blood.

The core of the purebloods is Vivi's drop of heart's blood.

She closed her eyes to sense the connection between herself and the blood in her heart. This connection was very clear, like an extension of her own limbs. She could control this small bowl of pure blood and command it to do things. Although it was still very immature, it was indeed a brand new life form that depended on her.

She gave the other a name: "Isis, grow up quickly."

“Okay, sister…” The pureblood contained too little energy to give a weak response.

Isis, created by mixing heart's blood with a large amount of pure blood, already has the rudiments of a life form. However, due to insufficient energy, its growth in both physical size and mind is extremely slow. It still needs pure blood, and a great deal of it.

“From now on, you are my family. My logging is tiring, come here.” Weiwei turned the seal ring on the little finger of her left hand. Pure blood turned into blood mist, surrounding her seal ring, and finally turned into a bright blood-red pattern.

Vivi is still adhering to her survival principle. Her role for Isis is that of a healer, with a very simple function: to heal her when she's injured and her own healing abilities can't immediately take effect! In the future, she might even be able to absorb damage for Isis, and if the blood mist solidifies a bit, she could even carry her flying. But not now; Isis is still too young...

With Isis, she no longer needed to put blood bags in the refrigerator. Isis was a mobile blood bank that integrated absorption, transformation, and storage. After bleeding a patient, she could simply wipe the ring and the blood would be collected.

The loss of a single drop of her heart's blood severely weakened Weiwei, leaving her extremely frail for the next few days.

Worried about encountering a formidable enemy in the next few days, Weiwei did not open her shop for business. Instead, she hid in Ahe's teahouse in Jianlou Village to supervise Ayu's studies. She planned to have Ayu learn medicine from her.

Tama was too young. By the time Luffy arrived in Wano Country, she would be only a little over eight years old, not quite nine.

What can an eight-year-old do? Is Vivi going to push Tama forward like Luffy forced Momonosuke to take his place? There's no need!

Vivi doesn't know if she's changed the course of her fate, or if Tama will still be able to eat that bug-like Devil Fruit. If she can't, no matter how much power she gets now, her age is what it is, and she can't beat Kaido. She can only act as a mascot, livening up the atmosphere outside the battlefield.

But what's the point?

Since she can't help in the future, she might as well make things easier for herself now. Weiwei thought that letting Ayu study medicine was a good way to get out of this predicament.

She had already hinted at the intentions of several large, fat sumo wrestlers several times, making her more than capable of protecting Ayu in the Flower Capital.

"I don't read books! I, cough cough... I want to be a samurai! A ninja!"

Ayu was very resistant to reading, making "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sounds and even making a gesture of throwing a ninja star.

Weiwei gave her a light slap on the forehead.

“Let me tell you, Ayu, in your life, maybe one day your friends will betray you, maybe your lover will betray you, but medical skills will not, they simply will not.”

Ayu: "???"

"Don't understand? That's right. Come on, read the books! You have to know these books by heart."

Vivi's medical skills were originally only level 1. This skill is a rare ability in One Piece, and it is almost impossible to find. To improve it, one must rely on learning.

Using the power of the Vampire Fruit, she "treated" a bunch of patients, and her medical skills improved every day. She's almost at level 3 now. To make up for her shortcomings, she also takes time to read medical books. At this point, she's teaching Ayu while learning on her own.

After a day of cramming, Ayu left the teahouse with swollen, mosquito-coil-like eyes.

"Awoo!" Komachiyo, like a parent picking up their child from school, secretly hid outside the teahouse. When she came out, he carried her on his back and ran towards Amigasa Village, all the way to Tama's favorite beach.

"Komachiyo, do you think I'm stupid? I know my sister is doing this for my own good, but I just can't learn those things! Waaaaah—" The little girl became more and more upset as she thought about it, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

The dog looked back at her, utterly bewildered, and gave her a very human-like, inquiring expression.

Ayu poured out her painful experience of studying medicine.

There were just too many problems she encountered while learning. She didn't recognize the characters, and she didn't understand the meanings of the words. Weiwei taught her as she learned, but even her teaching was incoherent and disorganized. Plus, Ayu was too young, making her learning experience absolutely terrible...

After venting her frustrations, Ayu felt much better. She kicked the sand on the beach with all her might. What else could she do? She'd continue learning tomorrow!

"Awooo!" Komachiyo suddenly yelled, warily telling Tama to back away.

Ayu was puzzled and stared wide-eyed at the beach in front of her. This time she finally saw the source of Komachiyo's tension. As she kicked the sand, a humanoid creature appeared from the thick sand.

"Hey, are you alright? Are you still alive?" Ayu asked from afar, hiding in Komachiyo's mane and carefully examining the humanoid creature in the sand.

She's very experienced in "picking up" people.

She discovered that it was a young man.

Upon hearing the sound, the man instinctively shook twice, causing a large amount of sand to fall away, revealing his upper body.

The man was shirtless, with an "ASCE" tattoo on his left arm, the "S" crossed out with a black cross, a red beaded necklace around his neck, and an orange cowboy hat lying three meters away from him.

While Ayu was sizing up the man, the young man rolled over and lay down on the beach, stretching lazily with great ease.

He muttered to himself, "Why should I obey other people's arrangements? You can only control your own destiny! If you don't want to study, then don't study. Next time your sister forces you, just come to me, and I'll teach her a lesson."

Ayu quickly explained, "No, my sister is very good to me. She's the best person I've ever met! You're not allowed to say that about her!"

"Really? Then I was being nosy. Whatever."

The young man chuckled and casually slapped his hand on the beach. Suddenly, a cowboy hat, about three meters away, flew over and hit his face. Less than three seconds later, the man was snoring.

Chapter Ninety-Two Ace

Ayu looked at Komachiyo, and Kashiwa looked at her too.

Both the man and the dog were filled with questions: How did this strange older brother fall asleep?

Ayu gently called "brother" twice, but the other person was sleeping soundly with his face covered by his cowboy hat.

The little girl sighed softly; this older brother seemed like a strange person too!

Fearing that her strange brother would freeze to death, she kindly started a fire nearby.

"What a good child..." the young man murmured softly after Ayu left, before falling asleep again.

......

After seeing Ayu off at the teahouse, Vivi flipped through some medical books for a while. To be honest, these books were really dry and boring to read! The medical techniques of Wano Country and those of Alabasta were not the same system, making it even more difficult to learn.

While she was engrossed in her studies, a villager came to deliver a message to her.

"Doctor! Pirates! The pirates you're looking for have arrived! A pirate ship has run aground near Jianlou Village. We took a look from a distance, and everyone on board has fainted."

Vivi was overjoyed. If there were outsiders, it meant there were Den Den Mushi (snail phone) – who cared if they were pirates or not?

She told Ah He and immediately headed to the beach.

......

The young man that Ayu met did not possess the flying abilities of Golden Lion and Vivi. He had companions and his own ship, but while climbing the waterfall in the outer sea of ​​Wano, the pirate ship was caught in a whirlpool, and he was thrown out alone and swept ashore by the current. His companions and the pirate ship were found by the villagers of Jianlou Village on a shallow beach more than ten miles to the north. The ship had capsized, and the supplies and pirates on board were scattered in an area of ​​more than a hundred meters.

The villagers of Jianlou Village and Bianli Village were in an uproar. They were frantically carrying supplies. The deathly aura of the walking corpses was no longer visible. They were running around like the wind, grabbing whatever they could find, since it was all free anyway!

Vivi arrived at the shallows, where the stranded pirate ship and the busy figures of the villagers looked just like the scene in her previous life where a truck overturned on the highway and the villagers nearby looted the goods.

"Where are the pirates?" she asked.

Ayu was gnawing on a radish about the size of her head, her face flushed. She pointed worriedly at a wooden stump next to her and saw more than a dozen pirates surrounded and tied to the stump, including a young man sleeping on the beach.

The pirates all had their eyes closed, seemingly unconscious, completely unaware that their ship's supplies had fallen into the hands of the villagers.

Vivi casually glanced at the pirates, when suddenly her Observation Haki gave her a sense of danger. She quickly focused her attention and exclaimed, "Huh? Tama, quick, back off!"

Driven by some kind of intuition, the young man tied to the wooden stump also opened his eyes and looked over.

The young pirate, who had been smiling, immediately became wary upon noticing Vivi's arrival. The freckles on his cheeks seemed to flare up in the sunlight.

A cowboy hat, a rosary around his neck, and messy tattoos on his arms? Is this Fire Fist Ace?!

With such distinctive features, Weiwei was certain she couldn't be mistaken.

With the relationship between the two sides unclear, she wouldn't make a judgment about friend or foe based on the impressions from the comics.

She activated her Observation Haki to its fullest extent, carefully observing the other person and not missing a single small movement.

"You're the older sister who forces the little guy to study? You seem to be quite capable, interesting!" Ace had been awake for a while, or rather, he hadn't been asleep at all.

The villagers tied him to a wooden stump, and for some reason, he didn't resist. But after Weiwei arrived, he didn't dare to be so arrogant anymore.

A burst of flames shot into the sky, startling Ayu, who retreated several steps. She saw the ropes binding the pirates being burned through by the flames that appeared out of nowhere. Ace, who was 1.85 meters tall, shook his neck and stood up.

“I mean no harm. My companion and I came to this country by chance. You can take the food as you like, don’t mind.”

Ace said cheerfully.

Vivi was already acting as a spokesperson for the villagers. She said loudly, "A coincidence? No way! This country requires sailing up a waterfall that's a thousand meters high. Any normal person would back down at the sight of such a waterfall. What kind of fool would dare to sail up a waterfall? What is your purpose in coming to Wano Country?"

"Hahahaha—Our Spade Pirates' captain is indeed a bit muddle-headed."

"Ace, you stupid captain, you let your lie get exposed so easily."

"Ace, you're so stupid!"

Several pirates who had been pretending to faint stood up and laughed, and Ace laughed along with them, showing no embarrassment at having his lie exposed.

The villagers all retreated, because of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and the Beast Pirates, they had a deep-seated hatred and fear of pirates.

Vivi didn't move at all, just watching these guys grinning like idiots.

After laughing for a while, Ace lightly pressed the brim of his cowboy hat with his right hand, striking a pose that looked rather cool: "Okay, I lied before. I came here to take Kaito's head in order to become the new Yonko!"

Weiwei remained expressionless and silent.

It seems that it's not just me who's become overconfident after eating a Devil Fruit; it's a common phenomenon. There's a guy right in front of me whose confidence has inflated to the extreme!

"Your crew calls you Ace? That's your name, isn't it?"

“That’s right, I am Portgas D. Ace!”

Vivi licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light: "You can't beat Kaido at all. Your provocation will only make Kaido angrier. If you run away, these villagers will be the ones who suffer. Want to have a match? If you can't even beat me, don't even mention Kaido."

It's rare for her to encounter a celebrity, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't give them a good slap.

Ace looks incredibly green right now, probably just started sailing and has just eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit. Vivi doesn't think she'll lose.

"Alright, let's go!" Since setting sail, Ace has been lucky and has hardly encountered any strong opponents. He has been in an invincible state all the way, killing anyone who gets in his way. Now his confidence is exceptionally strong.
