The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Chapter Ninety-Five: A Bloodbath Triggered by a Bag of Red Beans (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Dragoncanfly)

Vivi boarded the island with some trepidation. The island was quite large, and its main body was shaped like the head of a demon with horns.

The name of Oni Island comes from the enormous head of this demon, which the ancient people of Wano Country believed to be a malevolent demon that brought chaos to the world.

Did such enormous creatures really exist in the ancient world of One Piece? Vivi was filled with shock as she looked at the massive demon head that had been weathered into stone.

By listening to everything, she sensed a deep malice within the demon's head. She didn't know exactly what it was, but it was definitely not a stone!

Having undergone training in the Kingdom of Lulucia, she now has more faith in her senses.

Before setting off, she closed her eyes and let Ace attack her fiercely. In this last-minute practice, she managed to raise her Observation Haki to level 5, which increased her range of perception and made her sense emotions more clearly.

At this moment, Weiwei closed her eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings. She didn't perceive any threats on the island.

The island is full of malice, but there shouldn't be any enemy capable of killing her in one move.

Of course, it's also possible that the enemy's Observation Haki is far superior to hers; in that case, she'll just have to accept her bad luck...

Ace led his crew to the island one by one. Assassination is not the same as charging in headfirst; it requires some methods and strategies. Compared to his younger brother Luffy, Ace was more intelligent.

Having no idea what the true nature of Oni Island was, he decided to split his forces into three groups.

"I'm going to find Kaido. Tomoe Gozen, go find the Den Den Mushi. Deus, you two go rescue the kidnapped villagers of Wano Country. Do you all understand the mission?"

Finding Kaido and finding Den Den Mushi both require venturing deep into the enemy's lair. Rescuing civilians would be much easier. Kaido's bandit den doesn't care about ordinary villagers. He captures villagers mostly to use as errand boys, and some are simply experimental subjects. Many villagers are in the direction of the dungeon. With the strength of Deus, the vice-captain of the Spade Pirates, leading a large crew, defeating the jailers and rescuing the villagers wouldn't be difficult.

The difficulty lies with Ace and Vivi.

Vivi spoke first: "I haven't sensed any strong enemies on this island, but I can't say for sure... the enemy might be far stronger than expected. Let's split up and act separately."

Dark clouds filled the sky above Oni Island, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling within them. The faint wails of humans could be heard in the wind. Oni Island at night truly lived up to its name as an "oni" island; it was not a place for the living at all.

Ace said, "Alright, let's split up! Signal me when you see Kaido."

The last sentence was clearly directed at Weiwei. I don't know where he got his confidence from. Weiwei chuckled, lifted her cloak to cover her figure, and the next second, she merged into the night and disappeared completely.

"Is this doctor also a Devil Fruit user? Do you know what kind of ability she uses?" Deuce, the ship's doctor and first mate, asked Ace.

Ace replied nonchalantly, "I don't know. I'm leaving now. Be careful, everyone."

Unlike Vivi who vanished into the shadows, he could only take two long strides and run like a 100-meter sprinter, rushing towards the island of demons.

......

In a storage room on the first floor of Kaido's castle, Vivi quickly grabbed a guy who looked like a minor leader and began interrogating him for information.

The news she received was far beyond her expectations.

"You mean, Kaido took your crew's top officers to chase after Shiki???" Vivi frowned, and the pirate she was interrogating swore that he was absolutely not lying.

Where did the golden lion come from? Vivi was completely bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

She killed one pirate with a single strike, then captured a second pirate, interrogated him, and killed the second pirate. She captured one, interrogated him, killed him, and then captured the next. By the time she had interrogated the seventh pirate, the answer was still the same: Kaido wasn't home, nor were the three All-Stars or the Flying Six. The Beast Pirates were almost entirely out on the hunt for Shiki...

The fourth pirate's account was the most detailed, told vividly and as if one were there.

The gist of it is that Shiki went to steal the big signboard, Anko, the "Plague Disaster" of the Three Disasters. Queen is only 3 years younger than Kaido, so he's definitely the little brother. When Kaido learned that his little brother had been beaten up by Shiki, he was furious. Shiki also looked down on Kaido, this "youngster." What a joke! When I was conquering the seas, you were still cleaning the deck on your ship!

In a fierce battle, the veteran was utterly defeated by the young upstart. Golden Lion Shiki fled for his life, and Kaido, knowing the importance of eliminating any potential threat, gave chase without hesitation, leading his men in pursuit...

"Hahahaha—" Vivi was overjoyed. She had originally thought of twelve escape plans, but now it seemed that none of them would be needed. There wasn't a single person on the entire Ghost Island who could fight!

When she saw the sword mark at the gate of the Onigashima Palace, she was completely convinced. It was indeed the mark made by "Lion. Thousand Cut Valley". She had the authority to speak on this matter.

"What great luck!" She was delighted. The enemy's experts were all away, leaving only a bunch of rabble. What was there to worry about?

"Where did you put your Den Den Mushi? Lead me the way and I'll spare your life."

Vivi disappeared into the darkness and gestured to a guy who looked like a small leader to lead the way.

The leader couldn't see her, but he could hear her voice and knew she was right next to him. He didn't dare to make a sound or run away, so he obediently led the way and soon found a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that could communicate with the outside world.

Vivi killed the gang leader with a single blow, then picked up a Den Den Mushi to contact Karu the duck, who was far away in Torrance Town.

The duck, who was playing cards with the innkeeper and the neighbor lady in Torrance Town, frowned. This hand was hopeless. Its highest card was the Queen, but its luck was getting worse and worse, with most of its cards hovering below 10. How could it possibly play? The Den Den Mushi rang, and it immediately slammed down its cards, removed the note from its face, and quit!

"Karu!"

"Quack quack!!—" The duck heard Vivi's voice and excitedly quacked.

Vivi could hear the voice of the innkeeper from Torrance Town across the street. She could tell that Karu had been doing well these past few days, and Vivi felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. It was good that Karu was alright.

"Listen to me, I'll be back right away. During this time, you stay in the hotel and absolutely do not go out or anywhere else, understand?"

Karu the duck replied, "Quack! Quack?...Quack..."

"Hmm?" Vivi said a couple of words, but found no response from the other end, only a busy tone. She looked at the Den Den Mushi strangely and found that its eyes were shaped like mosquito coils, indicating that it had obviously fainted.

What's going on? In less than half a second, Vivi knew the reason why the Den Den Mushi was unconscious. She felt a powerful and domineering aura suddenly explode in the western direction of Oni Island. It was Conqueror's Haki.

She could better recognize that it was Ace's Conqueror's Haki.

Chapter 96 Yamato (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Gensokyo Deputy City Manager)

Vivi decided to take back her comment that Ace was smarter than Luffy. "You used Conqueror's Haki in the enemy's lair? Are you stupid?"

Her face darkened, and anger was brewing inside her. She just wanted to say a few words to the duck, why was it so difficult!

She put the unconscious Den Den Mushi in her pocket, gripped the Nidai Kitetsu tightly, and flew out.

While she was in mid-air, she noticed that the very next second after Ace unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, a new burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from the same direction.

The two sides' domineering auras collided violently in the air, a complete replica of the clash between her and Ace's Conqueror's Haki that day.

What's going on? Vivi was a little confused. Besides Kaido, was there someone else on Onigashima who knew Conqueror's Haki?

Aren't there just too many people with this kind of domineering aura?

The two men's Conqueror's Haki enveloped the entire island, including the pirates, the captured Wano Country civilians, and Vivi, all within the range of their Haki.

She certainly wouldn't back down; she had her own Conqueror's Haki too!

Her eyes quickly turned red, and her mental power, carrying an extremely strong personal will and killing intent, slammed towards the entire island. Accompanied by a collision of invisible energy, it forcibly squeezed out a third of the space, and her Conqueror's Haki also joined the battle!

The three parties were vying for power and confronting each other. Even though she and Ace were friends, she didn't back down at all.

Conqueror's Haki has a repulsive property against any living being other than itself; within its range, the word "friend" simply doesn't exist.

To put it simply, it means I know you, but my Conqueror's Haki doesn't!

If she backs down, her beliefs and confidence will be severely damaged, so Vivi has no choice but to fight.

With an overwhelming aura of dominance, she landed thirty meters to the left and in front of Ace.

She looked diagonally opposite, where a woman dressed in a white kimono stood. The woman's kimono had a blue diamond pattern on the chest, a huge shimenawa (traditional Japanese rope) tied around her waist, and she was barefoot, wearing a pair of wooden clogs.

The woman had two horns on her head, and her face was covered by a hideous prajna mask. The color of her hair changed from white to green from the top of her head to the ends, and finally turned blue. It was unclear what color her hair was.

The most eye-catching thing was the weapon in the woman's hand, a spiked club that looked very fierce.

Unlike traditional spiked clubs, the spiked club this woman used had rounded protrusions where the spikes should have been, as if the spikes had been deliberately ground off.

Who is this? Vivi looked at her with a strange expression. Someone who could use Conqueror's Haki was definitely not an unknown person, but she really didn't know who this woman was.

Since she didn't know, she asked, "Hey, woman, who are you?"

The woman in the white kimono, holding a spiked club, spoke in a clear, crisp voice, with a hint of heroic spirit: "I am Kozuki Oden!"

"Pfft!" Even while activating Conqueror's Haki to fight against the two, Vivi almost bit her tongue.

She felt insulted by the other person: "Nonsense! Kozuki Oden died fifteen years ago. Even a three-year-old in Wano Country knows that. Who do you think you are, Kozuki Oden?!"

The woman in the white kimono paused noticeably: "Kozuki Oden is the samurai I admire most. Although it is very difficult for me to say, if it is just a matter of asking about blood relations, then I can only admit it. I am Kaido's son, Yamato!"

Vivi scrutinized the blue diamond pattern on the other person's chest. To make a flat pattern look so three-dimensional, it must be G-grade, right? With it bulging like that, you still call yourself Kaido's son? Whose son looks like that?!

The other party's words were absurd, but his Observation Haki revealed no trace of falsehood; it seemed that Yamato had indeed thought so.

The continuous clash of Conqueror's Haki is nothing to the Four Emperors, who have plenty of Haki and can do whatever they want! But for the three of them, it's a heavy burden. The white-kimonoed woman named Yamato voluntarily withdrew one point, Ace then withdrew one point, and Vivi followed suit. In the end, all three withdrew their Conqueror's Haki. Such a clash is a huge drain on physical strength and Haki. If a winner cannot be decided immediately, then it is meaningless.

Wearing a Hannya mask and carrying a spiked club, Yamato seemed about to turn and leave. But as she turned, she smelled something, paused, and then said to Vivi in ​​a particularly blunt tone, "I don't know why, but I feel a strong stench from you. It's an instinctive hostility. Who exactly are you?"

"Hmph! How could you smell anything from this distance? Do you have a dog's nose?" Weiwei didn't smell bad at all; on the contrary, she had a rose-like fragrance. Thinking that the other person was insulting her, she sprayed back.

The phrase "dog nose" infuriated Yamato.

Her previously waned fighting spirit rekindled, and she raised the spiked club high. Weiwei noticed that she was still wearing handcuffs on her wrists, but the handcuffs had broken off in the middle.

Yamato said, "Even though I have various conflicts with Kaido, you came to Onigashima tonight and killed so many of Kaido's subordinates. I cannot stand idly by, for both moral and moral reasons. I will take you down!"

"Lie down! Whistle!"

Her spiked club was wrapped in a dense Armament Haki. After a brief charge, she swung it out!

The air was compressed by tremendous force, similar to the swordsmen's moves; this move could be considered a ranged "stud energy" generated by striking with a spiked club.

The "Sounding Arrow" attack had an extremely wide range, engulfing both Ace and Vivi.

A burst of fire rose from Ace's fists, but Vivi stopped him.

"According to the agreement, Kaido is yours, and all of Kaido's subordinates belong to me. I don't feel comfortable with this guy! Step back and hand her over to me!"

Vivi wasn't really interested in fighting, but the woman in front of her named Yamato made her very uncomfortable. She didn't know where that awkward feeling came from, but at this moment she chose to trust her intuition.

She drew the Second Generation Kitetsu, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground. After a brief moment of charging, she wrapped it with Armament Haki and swung the sword diagonally upwards.

"Slash Wave!"

"Naruto" and "Zanpa" meet on the way, each carrying enormous kinetic energy. Vivi's "Zanpa" has unparalleled sharpness, and the second-generation Onikiri adds a touch of bewitching crimson to "Zanpa".

Yamato's "Naruto" is also an extremely solid strike.

Due to the material of the spiked club and the nature of its moves, "Mingdi" is not only incredibly powerful, but also surrounded by a layer of eerie blue electric light.

A loud "boom" resounded.

It was a clash of titans. "Sounding Arrow" struck first, followed by "Slicing Wave." The two were evenly matched in terms of strength and Armament Haki. The surrounding walls and buildings were collapsed by the shockwave from the explosion, but the two combatants were unharmed. The first move ended in a draw.

Chapter 97 Vivi vs. Yamato

Vivi was a little dissatisfied with the draw between "Zanbo" and "Nyoubi". The sword she was holding was not an ordinary samurai sword, but a famous sword from the 21st Grade Great Sword. The sword she had just used was completely different from the one she used against Ace. She felt that her sword strike was perfect in terms of power, angle, and even the wind speed at night. However, such a perfect sword strike was blocked by her opponent.

"You've got some skill, try and take another one of my moves!"
