The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Don't cause any trouble lately, your boss is about to collapse!

Baroque Works is actually a social organization with a program and goals, but because Crocodile demanded secrecy and that his secrets be revealed only at the last moment, his subordinates knew nothing about his program, goals, and methods of implementation. Vivi knew, but she pretended not to know, Robin really didn't know, and Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 knew even less.

Crocodile, with his low level of education and lack of management experience in large enterprises and institutions, could not have imagined that his order to lie low would severely damage the already weak cohesion of this organization.

Although they haven't officially broken up yet, everyone's hearts are already scattered.

Mr. 1 went back to his old profession and became an assassin.

Mr. 2, along with his recruited followers, sets off to find the legendary kingdom of transvestites.

Vivi sent the two giants to the small garden to chat and gossip with their leaders, the Blue Demon Donley and the Red Demon Brogy.

Robin changed into a navy blue jacket, wore his signature cowboy hat, carried a small bag, and without notifying anyone, boarded a merchant ship bound for the East China Sea alone.

Vivi watched her from a great distance until the merchant ship was completely out of sight before she called Bello Betty.

"I have something to tell you."

"I'm busy, hurry up and tell me."

"...I have a friend here..."

Bello Betty's tone was unusually calm: "You want to kill her? Tell me the address."

Weiwei was speechless. Did she really have such a ruthless image in the other person's mind?

"No, not an enemy, but a friend. The story goes something like this..."

She didn't mention anything about the Revolutionary Army or Koushirou; she just hoped that Bello Betty, the commander of the Eastern Army, would pay a little attention to Nico Robin's trip to the East China Sea and avoid any misunderstandings.

In Vivi's opinion, Robin's future joining the Revolutionary Army has little to do with Luffy being the prince. It's entirely because her own thoughts and experiences align well with the Revolutionary Army's ideas, making her joining the Revolutionary Army a natural progression. All that's missing now is an opportunity.

Vivi's phone call to Bello Betty might just change Nicole Robin's fate.

Forget being a bounty hunter or a pirate, go join the revolution and overthrow the World Government!

Vivi will eventually fight Crocodile, and her identity will be revealed one day. Robin is in the middle, which will cause a lot of trouble. If the Revolutionary Army can take her away, it will save us a lot of trouble.

“Nicole Robin! ......” Bello Betty repeated the name twice: “Hehe, got it.”

......

Baroque Works has gone into complete hibernation. Apart from not using the code name "3D2Y" in the newspapers, Crocodile is no different from the Straw Hat crew in other aspects. However, the studio does not have the cohesion of the Straw Hat crew. It is unknown how many people will be able to reunite in the future.

Robin is gone, and Vivi isn't staying at headquarters either.

It's been over a year since she transmigrated, and about a year and a half since Nefertari Vivi, the runaway princess, left the Alabasta court. Now that Laboon the whale has recovered his health, and her adoptive father is going to Marine Headquarters to see Zephyr, she's going to go with him.

Before setting off, she had to return to the capital.

Vivi first went to Drum Country to call the old ship doctor, and then said goodbye to Dr. Kureha, Chopper, and Brook.

Crocodile wanted to keep a low profile, but Vivi had no intention of letting him. The matter of the medical book would definitely take a while to gain traction, but once it was written, it would be enough to give him a hard time. Consider it his contribution to the medical cause in Alabasta.

Labour remained at sea, while Vivi and the old ship's doctor reached the shore and headed to the capital, Arubana.

The closer I get to home, the more apprehensive I feel. It's been over a year since I left my hometown. How are my family members doing? Are they eating and sleeping well? My heart is filled with a deep longing for home. Of course, the one who misses home is Karu; Vivi doesn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

Following Vivi around, Karu suffered quite a bit of fright. Despite being just a duck, its owner made it bear too much burden. On the way back to the royal capital Albana, the duck was filled with anxiety.

As a member of the fast-running duck family, Karu, a duck that cannot fly or swim, was naturally not born from a rock. He has his own family and friends, but he grew up with Vivi and his relationship with his family is not as close as his relationship with Vivi.

"Huh? You actually have the idea of ​​going back to show off? Oh ho ho ho—" Vivi unintentionally read the duck's thoughts. This guy actually wanted to use shadow clones to tease the other ducks. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made the duck roll its eyes in anger.

Chapter 156 King Cobra

In Chapter 156 of the novel "The Pirate Princess Becomes King", Vivi and the old ship's doctor walked ahead, while Karu the duck followed behind with a cotton candy, licking it every now and then.

Vivi focused her attention on the citizens of Arubana.

They were much better than the zombie-like villagers of Wano Country; they had at least some vitality. But if you had to describe them in one word, it would be "pale and sickly."

If the citizens on the streets of Alabasta, the capital of a country, are all emaciated, one can only imagine the living conditions of the tens of millions of people in the country.

Hunger is plaguing this country.

The "dancing powder" incident orchestrated by Crocodile has been so badly messed up by Vivi over the past year that even Crocodile himself has probably forgotten about it, let alone ordinary citizens.

Public discontent with the monarchy has decreased, but the problem of hunger remains unresolved.

The drought has been relentless, and the country is constantly plagued by the lack of rain. Today, one sand crocodile may be driven away, but tomorrow a sand tiger or sand lion may appear.

The revolutionary army and she had a tacit understanding, and with the scapegoat's influence, they wouldn't carry out a revolution in Alabasta. But the people weren't stupid; when they really couldn't get enough to eat, they would rise up on their own.

Vivi's Conqueror's Haki can quell a rebellion, stunning 50,000 people at once, and another 50,000 if she does it again. But if the root of the problem isn't addressed, it will cause trouble sooner or later.

She felt she was oversimplifying things. Healthcare reform was one solution, but the people were starving to death, so who cared about getting sick?

She racked her brains, trying to think of any way to help herself from her past life. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any good solutions in the face of this natural disaster. She could only try to figure things out within the existing supernatural realm.

Rain? What Devil Fruit can bring rain? Enel's thunder? Kaido's blue dragon? Monet's snow? Or maybe we should just go find Zunisha and have it suck up water from the nearby sea, then spray it onto Alabasta...

Weiwei's mind raced, and she pondered for a while.

"What are you thinking about? You look so worried," the old ship's doctor asked.

Vivi wasn't going to discuss this with the old man, so she casually replied, "I'm thinking about how to snatch Karu's cotton candy."

"Quack quack!" The duck immediately got anxious and pulled out a frying pan to hit her.

......

Vivi returned to the capital in a rather low-key manner. Although Crocodile was temporarily forced away by those messy things, he would most likely return in the future. Robin's joining the Revolutionary Army was also an unknown. She planned to continue to maintain her identity as the undercover COO, and her identity as the old ship doctor was also not something that could be exposed. Until she arrived at the palace, she did not disturb outsiders much.

"Your Highness is back!" Tila Gotan, the palace steward who looked quite like a married couple with the old minister Mr. 8 Icarum, also had a long face and curly hair, and began to call out as soon as she entered the room.

The court stewardess, wearing an apron, looked her up and down from all sides, before launching into a tirade of complaints.

"That damned Icarum! He's so inconsiderate! The princess has become so thin from hunger, and her skin is so pale. She must be malnourished! Quick! Prepare food! Someone, come quickly and help the princess take a bath and get some rest! It's heartbreaking to see her like this; she must be exhausted."

A waiter led the old ship's doctor away to rest, while the rest of the people surrounded Weiwei, showering her with concern and care.

Devil Fruit users can take baths, and as long as they don't do something reckless like bathing in seawater, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The reason why it cannot come into contact with seawater is not because of the seawater itself, but because of the sea stone component in seawater.

Taking a bath with fresh water is fine, but you can't bathe for too long. As soon as Vivi enters the bath, she keeps half of her body submerged in the water. Although she still feels weak all over, she hasn't completely lost her ability to move. This is her usual way of taking a bath since she ate the Devil Fruit.

After taking a bath, she found her palace using the original owner's memories.

The Nefertari family used to have a large population, with a vast, densely packed palace complex. But for some unknown reason, their birth rate dropped so low that now she is the only surviving member.

Many palaces are now sealed off.

As is customary, she first went to pay respects to her deceased mother. It was then that Vivi learned that her biological mother's name was Neferutari Titi.

Vivi noticed that the woman in the photo looked about 70-80% like herself. She looked weak and frail, like someone who could be easily bullied. Could this be Im from Mary Geoise?

The palace was ornately decorated, with incredibly finely woven carpets that felt wonderfully soft underfoot. Vivi, dressed in a floor-length gown, strolled around her bedroom with two maids by her side. She had to wander around; she felt unsafe in unfamiliar places. What if Doflamingo jumped out to assassinate her while she was sleeping? These were things she couldn't ignore.

She lingered in "her" study for a while, casually flipping through the books on the shelf. The contents were incredibly diverse, ranging from music and dance to swordsmanship and painting. Her predecessor had spent almost her entire life studying. It was no accident that Vivi from the original timeline became MS. Wednesday; she was incredibly diligent in both her studies and training.

Looking at the wooden sword in the corner of the room, she seemed to see a scene of a thin and small Princess Vivi practicing alone in the room.

She sensed a hint of doubt in the eyes of the maids and immediately smiled.

"Hehe, it feels so good to be home. I'm tired, let's go back and rest."

Back in her bedchamber, the maids took their leave one by one, and she began to look around at the furnishings in the room.

Even though the room had been empty for over a year, it still had a faint fragrance. The bed was soft, and Albana was very quiet at night. Neither Crocodile nor Doflamingo jumped out to assassinate her, but Vivi still felt uncomfortable. The feeling here was not as good as her little wooden bed in Whiskey Hill.

The next day, just as dawn broke, she met King Cobra of Alabasta, who was also her adoptive father; the two had only communicated through Den Den Mushi before.

Nefertari Cobra is a middle-aged woman, 47 years old this year. She looks very serious, but she's actually quite a goofball...

"Wow! Weiwei, you've grown taller! You're almost as tall as Daddy now. Come on, let's compare and see who's taller!"

"Oh dear, you're eating so little? Is it not to your liking?"

"Her face is so pale, she's obviously malnourished. She must have suffered a lot outside, Titi... Waaah, I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of my daughter!"

The middle-aged man was using a somewhat clumsy method to bridge the gap between father and daughter after more than a year apart. Weiwei played along with his antics, and after breakfast, at least on the surface, the father and daughter seemed to be enjoying each other's company.

Chapter 157 Where is the grain?

King Cobra's smile was sincere, but the weariness in his eyes and brows was undeniable.

When Weiwei returned to the palace last night, it wasn't too late, but this uncle went to bed early, which speaks volumes. Weiwei's adoptive father's health is really not good.

"Oh, by the way, I invited a famous doctor back this time. His medical skills are extremely high. Let him take a look at you," Weiwei said.

Vivi has no interest in the throne. Having eaten the Vampire Fruit, her lifespan is practically immortal. After her adoptive father dies, can she become queen for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years? By then, anyone would know there's something wrong with her, right? The throne of Alabasta might just be a stop on her long journey. She might stay here, but she definitely won't stay here forever.

Four years later, King Cobra from the original timeline had aged terribly, and Vivi had forgotten whether her adoptive father was paralyzed or something. Her bloodletting therapy was not applicable here, so she could only ask the old ship doctor to take a look at her adoptive father.

King Cobra wasn't averse to pirates and immediately sent someone to invite the old man. He arrived quickly, examined the old man, and without any regard for the patient's feelings, bluntly stated, "It's nothing serious, just some mental distress, an unhealthy diet, and poor sleep quality. These are problems for rich people; poor people don't have these issues..."

The old ship's doctor was somewhat cynical and still looked down on nobles. It was only because King Cobra had a good reputation in Alabasta over the years that he would not have come.

He said meaningfully, "I'm just an old man who doesn't understand military and national affairs, but I do know that many things can't be solved by force. You still need to work on communication and listening."

He was worried that Weiwei would take advantage of her high combat skills and slaughter the rebels. With her Conqueror's Haki, killing 30,000 to 50,000 rebels would be a piece of cake for her.

The old ship's doctor didn't want to see this happen, as it was too far removed from his values.

King Cobra, unaware of the hidden meaning, assumed he was being advised and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the people are the most important asset. I will listen to everyone's thoughts and will never resort to force. I promise."

The old ship doctor glanced at Weiwei out of the corner of his eye, and Weiwei nodded slightly, indicating that this was her intention.

The old ship's doctor's plans to write medical books, recruit apprentices, build hospitals, and research medical techniques received the full support of King Cobra. He didn't care about the Pirate King's crew at all; he was willing to do anything that could benefit the people. He agreed without hesitation, providing money and manpower as needed.

King Cobra even designated two palaces near the main street within the royal palace complex as hospital grounds. He, Vivi, and some other palace staff would have to walk around halfway around the side of the palace to go out, causing some inconvenience, but he believed this was insignificant compared to the health of his people.

Over the next few days, Vivi helped maintain contact with Zephyr on the Navy's side.

In my previous life, when a national leader traveled, the heir would definitely stay behind in the country to prevent any major incidents from happening.

The world isn't so particular these days; during world conferences, there are plenty of kings who bring their wives and children with them.

Vivi needs to go to the Navy Headquarters with her adoptive father to see Zephyr. After the Navy reaches a consensus, King Cobra will have to go to the Holy Land Mary Geoise with Fleet Admiral Sengoku to see the Commander-in-Chief "Steel Bone" Kong. After that, there is a high chance that he will also have to see the Five Elders. The procedures are very complicated. In the end, half a year will have passed.

The Grand Line is not peaceful, and the combination of a king and a princess is very attractive to many pirates. There have been cases of princesses being kidnapped during the World Government Summit. Now that the summit has ended, for the safety of King Cobra and the princess, the Navy has agreed to send warships and vice admirals to escort them to the Navy Headquarters.
