The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

With a "thud," Kaido punched Yamato in the face, sending the incredibly resilient girl flying more than ten meters away before she slammed heavily against the wall.

"What a stupid son!" Kaido's face was full of murderous intent, like a ferocious beast that had emerged from the primordial chaos.

Yamato was used to his unpredictable temper. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his spiked club, and assumed a defensive stance.

The next ten minutes were basically Kaido's time to beat up his "son." Vivi, hiding under the bed, felt like the days were dragging on forever. Her mind wandered, and at one point she even thought of the North Blue Supernova, Basil Hawkins. If she had the other's divination skills and could have done a divination beforehand, she wouldn't be in this situation, being cornered under the bed by the other's father and trembling with fear.

Even without the sea stone handcuffs, Yamato at her peak was no match for Kaido. But she gritted her teeth and was knocked down time and time again, only to get back up again and again.

"What an idiot! Who has landed on the island these past two days? Aren't you going to tell me?" Kaido's words made Vivi, who was under the bed, turn pale with fright.

"You're wrong. No one ever landed on Onigashima. Those pirates were all stunned by my attack." Yamato refused to admit it.

In fact, Kaido was also a little hesitant. He was one of the Four Emperors, not a detective. There were very few clues left behind on Onigashima, and he had only glanced at them briefly before.

The traces of "Lion Valley" had long been covered by flames; he could only see "Wei Kingdom," "Overlord Sea," and scorch marks all over the ground.

Kaido was completely baffled. Flames and "Wei Kingdom"—could it be that old hag Charlotte Linlin had come? What would she want with her "son"? The two of them had absolutely no connection!

Kaido quickly concluded that the person who came was definitely not his older sister Charlotte Linlin. So who was this person? He knew his "son's" personality all too well. Once he made up his mind, he would never tell anyone, no matter what. He estimated that it would be difficult to get the truth out of him. Asking him directly wouldn't work, but he could try to trick his "son" into revealing his naivety.

"Foolish son, why can't you understand my good intentions? I am old now. After I die, Wano Country will be yours, and I will make you the shogun of Wano Country!"

His voice was very loud, and Yamato became extremely angry when he heard him say that: "How dare you talk about Wano Country?! You occupied Wano Country with your scheming, you don't deserve to be called one of the Four Emperors, you are just a treacherous villain!"

Yamato stares directly at Kaido: "I despise you. I will become a hero and use all my strength to protect Wano Country!"

Kaido sneered, "Hero? You are my son. You were born a pirate. It's etched in your blood. You can't be a hero, and no country would accept a hero like you!"

Yamato retorted loudly, "Pirates can be heroes too, like that Alaba..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Kaido laughed, a laugh that came from the success of a scheme: "Alaba? You mean Alabasta, right? Someone who was once a pirate and is now a hero? Let me guess, you're not talking about Crocodile, are you?"

His expression was full of disdain. Shiki regarded him as a "young brat," and Kaido viewed Crocodile from a similar perspective. The only difference was that Shiki was old and injured, and was easily defeated by this "young brat." Crocodile? If Crocodile wanted to defeat Kaido, he would have to wait at least another hundred years!

Seeing Yamato's anxious expression, he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha—Crocodile!?? Such a nobody has become your new idol? Fine! I'll send Jack the Drought to Alabasta, and before long, you'll see Crocodile's head! Hahahaha—!"

Kaido left the room laughing wildly, leaving behind a frustrated Yamato and Vivi, who was lying under the bed, unsure of what expression to make.

Honestly, she did have a condition where she "would die if she didn't mess with the crocodiles," but she never expected things to turn out this way by some twist of fate.

She said Crocodile was a hero, but she didn't want Yamato and Ace to help her, and wanted to take care of Crocodile herself.

I never imagined things would turn out so strangely...

Drought Jack? Crocodile? Two completely unrelated people have somehow bumped into each other. According to Lao Fan, this is truly a strange fate!

Kaido's main force was still chasing Shiki; he had only returned to get the sake. Soon, he transformed back into his Azure Dragon form, carrying the sake gourd, and flew away on a cloud.

Weiwei waited a while until the needle-like sense of danger completely disappeared before crawling out from under the bed.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Yamato said, his face full of shame.

Vivi couldn't explain it either. What could she say? That she had lied to you before? That Crocodile was a big bad guy?

"...Actually, it's alright. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are an important force used by the World Government to fight against the Four Emperors. The Seven Warlords aren't as weak as you think. Against Jack the Drought, one of your father's subordinates, they should be able to survive, right..."

Her explanation was hardly convincing, and she felt that the more she said now, the more mistakes she would make later, so she simply stopped explaining.

She told Yamato not to overthink it, assuring him she would bring Mr. 3 to rescue her. Afterwards, Vivi hurriedly left Onigashima, knowing she wouldn't dare return anytime soon! Too exciting!

......

Fearing being trapped under her bed by Kaido again, Vivi never went to Onigashima again.

This time, luckily, the Den Den Mushi, which had been stunned by Conqueror's Haki, finally regained its calling function after resting for three days.

Vivi first reassured the duck Karu, saying that she would rush over to meet him soon. Then she contacted Lao Fan and asked him to send a boat to pick her up.

She doesn't need to go directly into Wano Country; she can simply dock her ship near the Wano Country Waterfall and fly there herself.

The death of "Otonashi" owl, coupled with Rob Lucci and his three companions going to Alabasta as undercover agents, led to a severe shortage of manpower for CP9. It was at this time that Van Gogh came into the sights of CP9 commander Spandam. Van Gogh was ruthless and merciless, and he didn't have much desire for power. He was now a favorite of Spandam, and it would be no problem for the World Government to send a ship out in its name.

Chapter 102 Madman

In Chapter 102 of "The Pirate Princess Becomes a Queen," with Kyoshiro having secured a backup plan, Vivi's situation became much easier. All she had to do next was wait.

For the next few nights, she wandered around the Flower City, remembering her promise to kill the three wealthy merchants.

The reason they were able to find Fenye was mainly because the arsonists led the way, and Fenye lived in the city, making him easier to find. As for those who jointly operated timber businesses, Pinghao was simply a coffin maker. No matter how rich they were, they wouldn't be allowed to live in the city. Both of them lived in very remote locations.

Vivi had been trying to find those two guys, but unfortunately, she could never find her way.

This time she was lucky. She was strolling in the suburbs when she came to the gate of a grand mansion. She casually asked around and learned that this was the home of Fan He, the owner of a timber shop. What else could she say? She took all his valuables and then crushed the fat pig-like Fan He to death with pieces of wood from his own house.

Another day passed, and the bright moonlight shone on the road. Lady Luck smiled upon her once again, and this time she found the last of the three wealthy merchants, Pinghao, who ran a coffin shop.

"Huh?" At the back door of Pinghao's house, Weiwei encountered a thin man dressed in black with his face covered. The two of them were stunned for a moment.

Vivi jumped down from the tree to the south, while the gaunt man emerged from the bushes to the east. They appeared at the back door at the same time, sizing each other up.

What's going on? A competitor?

When Vivi went out to rob, she definitely couldn't wear a kimono or geta anymore. Those things would hinder her fighting and make it difficult to conceal her identity. She wore her own short-sleeved long dress, which made her look very different from the locals.

"Foreigner?" the thin man asked in a low voice.

"The thief? You must be that infamous ugly lad from the city, right?"

"It is I." The gaunt man moved with lightning speed. As he answered, he drew his short sword and slashed at Weiwei's shoulder with lightning speed.

The other party didn't kill her; they were clearly trying to force her to back down.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

With just one move, Vivi could tell that her opponent's swordsmanship was superior to her own. According to her stats, this was at least level 5 in swordsmanship. The swordsmanship was good, but the overall strength was far inferior to Yamato's.

Vivi was somewhat excited by the sight of her prey. She covered the blade with Armament Haki and slashed at the thin man's left arm with even greater speed.

There was no light at the back gate of the mansion at night. The thin man's eyes were so small that they were just two slits. He was able to see the domineering aura on Weiwei's knife in the pitch-black environment. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped away. The next moment, his short knife was also covered with a domineering aura. He stabbed her ribs at a tricky angle.

Vivi showed no fear. She flipped her wrist to deflect the opponent's dagger and simultaneously kicked out, aiming straight for the opponent's face.

The gaunt man's swordsmanship was superior to hers, so she didn't rush in. It was the middle of the night, and she was worried about attracting a powerful enemy. All her powerful moves were useless, so she focused on defense, carefully observing her opponent's swordsmanship and looking for weaknesses.

After being trained by Zephyr for a month, discarding all those messy fighting methods and starting from the basics, Vivi practiced the Navy swordsmanship at least a hundred times during that month. This swordsmanship is not considered strong, but it has been honed by countless masters in the Navy. Whether it is offense or defense, this swordsmanship has its merits.

At this moment, this sword technique gave Vivi a great advantage when facing the thin man. His swordsmanship was better than hers, and his combat experience was several times richer. However, because he had never seen such a steady and methodical sword technique before, and because Vivi's speed and strength were superior to his opponent's, the two fought for twenty or thirty moves and found that neither of them could defeat the other.

"Damn it!" the gaunt man cursed under his breath. He was skilled with a katana, but now that he was using a short sword, he couldn't use many of his moves.

Although this wasn't in the city, Vivi was hesitant to unleash her full power because of what happened when Kaido cornered her under the bed. Techniques like "Warrior's Might" and "Lion's Thousand Cut Valley" were too obvious, so she didn't want to use them and fought very conservatively.

The two stopped fighting and remained locked in a stalemate for a while, seemingly afraid of alerting outsiders.

Vivi wasn't satisfied with the fight, so she stepped back first: "Fine, you can have the bottle, I'm leaving!"

"Wait!" the gaunt man said.

Weiwei stopped in her tracks.

"Outsider, I'm warning you, you'd better leave Wano Country right now."

"Oh, I know."

Vivi gave a perfunctory reply and then disappeared into the night.

Pinghao was not dead or even injured; his belongings were simply stolen. The next day, a bunch of people in the magistrate's office were making a fuss about the thief Chou San. Afterward, the superiors decided to intensify the manhunt, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

The three unscrupulous merchants were barely dealt with. Vivi gave up her job of robbing the rich to help the poor and focused on being a bloodletting doctor. Watching Isis grow up day by day, she taught Ayu medical skills in her spare time. The little girl carried a thick medical book with her every day and recited it. Her small body looked so haggard.

......

"Lord Kyoshiro has arrived!" Several particularly strong-looking ronin shouted loudly from the entrance of the clinic.

A man wearing a high-necked cloak, a dark blue kimono, and a huge topknot walked into the clinic as if no one else was there.

His eyes were extremely small, and he squinted at people. There were many patients in the clinic, but no one dared to look him in the eye. Several sumo wrestlers who frequented the clinic immediately bowed and paid their respects, while many commoners bent over and prostrated themselves on the ground to show their subservience.

"How dare you be so rude! Kneel down! This is Lord Kyoshiro!" The man who looked like a thug shouted at Vivi. He was the only one standing there in the clinic, so he was very conspicuous.

Vivi kept sizing up Kyoshiro, while he squinted at her.

Hearing someone's provocation, she turned her head and glanced at them casually: "You're a patient too? You want to have your blood drawn? Come on, sit here and don't move."

When Lulucia fought Binz, Zephyr commented that her strength was "very strong," and now that she has the Vampire Fruit that enhances her physical abilities in every way, her strength is even greater.

At best, even the most valiant and aggressive ronin couldn't resist her dragging.

The ronin was forced onto the stool against his will. Vivi first injected an anesthetic into his thigh, then cut his wrist. She was becoming more and more adept at controlling blood. She poked the ronin's wrist, and "poof!" blood gushed out like a fountain from the wound, flying more than two meters away before landing steadily in a bowl beside him. The whole action was done in one smooth motion, as fluid as flowing water.

Vivi shook her head, looking at the ronin as if he were a dead man: "Look how serious this disease is. If you don't have your blood drained soon, you'll die. Be grateful that I saved your life."

Chapter 103 The Transaction

In the novel "The Pirate Princess Becomes King," Chapter 103, "The Transaction Maniac," Shiro didn't immediately look at his subordinates. His gaze lingered for two seconds on Tsuru, who was prostrate on the ground in the distance. By the time he reacted, Vivi had already finished bleeding. His expression changed rapidly, and he smiled sinisterly: "So, I have to thank you on behalf of my subordinates, Doctor?"

Weiwei sighed and said, "A doctor's heart is benevolent. I just did what I should do. Whether you understand me or not doesn't matter. How can you please everyone these days? I bleed to save people. Some people break the law to save people. We all have the same goal, just different methods. Am I right, Lord Kuangshilang?"

Kyoshiro laughed wildly: "A doctor's heart is benevolent? Fine, I'll sit right here and see how you treat patients and save lives."

The several large, fat sumo wrestlers looked extremely conflicted. Vivi had previously hinted that they should guard the clinic, but their fear of Kyoshiro resurfaced. Vivi didn't make things difficult for them; she casually snapped her fingers, and the fat sumo wrestlers took off running, not even bothering to look at their wounds. Blood was splattered all over the ground, making someone feel a little sorry for them. There was indeed a lot of oil in the blood, but it was still blood after all. What a pity.

Without any prompting, the common people ran even faster. An old man with anesthesia in his leg saw Kyoshiro sitting imposingly in the clinic, with several ronin standing in a row looking fierce. Without saying a word, the old man hopped out on one leg and finally tumbled and crawled out of the clinic.

Vivi gestured for A-He to leave with A-Yu as well. Kyoshiro waved his hand, and several ronin with ferocious expressions stood guard outside the door. They believed they understood their boss's intention: to leave the clinic without patients and starve the doctors!

"Brother, is it appropriate for you to undermine me like this? Do you want to have another match?" Weiwei took out a medical book, flipping through it as she asked Kuang Silang in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? I'm just here to scout out new doctors on behalf of the Magistrate's Office." Kyoshiro emphasized the word "new doctor."

"How much did you haul in last night? Did you get five hundred gold coins?"

"Last night? I was drinking at the brothel all night until dawn. I estimate I spent about five hundred gold coins."

The two tested each other.

Kyoshiro stayed until dark before leaving: "Remember to pay the management fee to the Magistrate's Office on time."

Vivi scoffed: "Management fee? I think it's protection money."

Say what you want.
