The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

......

"Huh? Why is the island moving?" Perona, the Ghost Princess with pink pigtails and a strange outfit, was sitting in the basement in a daze when the entire island started shaking violently, which immediately snapped her out of her daze.

She had already left Devil Island, but after leaving, she really didn't know where she could go. After wandering around for a few days, seeing that many forces were no longer paying attention to Devil Island, she quietly sneaked back.

Moonlight Moria wasn't a good person, but to Princess Perona, he was her only family, and Devil's Island was her only home.

The house was a mess, the family members were gone, and even Perona's favorite little teddy bear zombie had lost its shadow and now lay lifeless on the ground like the other zombies, unresponsive no matter how much its owner hit or kicked it.

"Kumashi, if only you could still talk, I would never curse at you again. Actually, the way you talk is quite cute..."

She dragged the little teddy bear zombie, who was twice her size, out of the basement cautiously, peeking around and looking for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything.

When she arrived on the ground, she was completely dumbfounded.

The mansion is still the same mansion, but the environment is completely different. It is surrounded by blue skies, white clouds, and the sea.

How did Devil's Island end up outside the Devil's Triangle? She was completely baffled.

Actually, those blue skies and white clouds were drawn by the old ship doctor when he had nothing else to do. The old man's drawing skills were average, and you could definitely tell if you looked closely.

Perona, with almost zero life experience, didn't notice anything amiss. She thought the terrifying three-masted ship had sunk, Devil's Island was too dilapidated, and she was adrift on the sea alone.

"Kumashi, let's just drift along the sea all alone, wherever we end up... We're so pathetic... I miss Lord Moria so much, and you miss him too, don't you? You can't even speak properly now... Even a whisper would have been better. It's all my fault for being so stupid, for not being able to help Lord Moria... Ah—ah! Crocodile deserves to die a horrible death! I'll kill him! I'll avenge Lord Moria!" Princess Mononoke initially wallowed in self-pity, but then she hugged the little teddy bear zombie and screamed hysterically.

Her voice echoed throughout the entire space.

"May the sand crocodile die a horrible death..."

"May the crocodile meet a terrible end..."

"May they die a horrible death..."

Chapter 167 The Long Pirate Crew

After catching up with the fleet, Vivi got busy. The land in Laboon's stomach was too small, with most of the space filled with seawater, so it was practically unused. Now that they had swallowed Moria's mansion, it finally had some secluded base.

There was nothing inside the mansion, so she had to prepare the living supplies. Moreover, the mansion was dilapidated and needed manpower to repair it.

Even if we don't expect to restore it to its original state, shouldn't we at least clean up all the trash?

Vivi, avoiding being noticed by anyone, began to get busy.

The people of Alabasta have nothing to worry about. Even if she were to rebel against the World Government now, they would follow her to the death.

What she was worried about was Garp. She hadn't taken the Navy's offer to send a vice admiral to escort her seriously, but she never expected that it would be Garp who came. With this powerful figure around, she didn't need to worry about safety, but it would make many things more complicated.

She couldn't figure out whether Garp's Observation Haki was high or low. Being able to get hit by Morgan's axe seemed like it wasn't high, but... considering the old man's many achievements, it didn't seem low either. Garp gave Vivi a very contradictory feeling.

She waited until Karp fell asleep before flying away with the duck Karu.

Some manpower is needed to clean up Moriah's mansion.

Vivi and the duck created some zombies before, but those zombies are still playing with Wapol in the Alabasta desert.

There are quite a few corpses in the mansion; she needs a shadow now.

Vivi and Duck found a pirate crew nearby. This pirate crew was following them from a distance, clearly intending to kidnap the king and princess, but they were wary of the Navy. They had been tracking them for several days now.

These guys gave their pirate crew a stupid name; they called it the Long Long Pirates.

This pirate crew linked their three ships together end to end, making them look like a giant dragon boat from a distance.

As soon as Vivi boarded the ship, she didn't waste any words and immediately used her Conqueror's Haki to clear the area.

Garp was too lazy to deal with nobodys, and Vivi didn't care at first either, but now she needed some people to "voluntarily help" clean up the mansion. These pirates just happened to be wandering around nearby, so it was just their bad luck.

"Huh? There's still one who hasn't fainted? Oh... no wonder, he's a swordsman. Brother, you have good willpower." As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in the distance. A long, snow-white blade approached from afar, cutting through the air and slashing towards her neck.

This is a true longsword! The opponent was a full thirty meters away from her and clearly didn't have any blade aura. Their attack was purely based on the fact that their weapon was "long".

Vivi previously thought the 40-meter-long sword was just a joke, but now, seeing the swordsman of this long pirate crew, she believes it: 40-meter-long swords really exist in the world! And people actually use them!

How can someone who's only two meters tall fight with a forty-meter-long sword? The swordsman from the Long Long Pirates demonstrated to Vivi how to use such a long sword.

One method is to swing the sword in a wide arc and slash at the enemy's side.

Another method is to drag the knife, then suddenly jump up, grip the handle with both arms, and chop down forcefully!

They only use two moves, back and forth.

Such rudimentary swordsmanship was full of flaws in Vivi's eyes. She covered her left palm with Armament Haki, easily grabbed the opponent's long sword, and then exerted force, pulling it towards herself.

With his dark right fist clenched, he punched the longsword pirate in the chest as the pirate flew close. The pirate's ribs were hit hard, a large part of his chest cavity visibly shrank, and blood gushed from his mouth.

"Here you go, but don't die." With a flick of her wrist, Weiwei sent the blood that had been spitting out back down.

With the only resister dealt with, the rest was easy.

Half an hour later, Duck Karu cut off all their shadows one by one, holding them in his hand. It was a huge, dark pile. Some shadows looked resigned and dejected, while others were still struggling.

The captain of the Long Long Pirates is an old man who looks fierce. He has an automatic weapon similar to a Gatling gun hidden in his hair, but he has a weak will. He was knocked unconscious with a single hit of Conqueror's Haki, and he is not as strong as that long-sword pirate.

"Demons! You are all demons!" In the old pirate's eyes, Vivi and the duck seemed to be evil spirits crawling out of hell. What was wrong with his body? He had a very ominous premonition.

Vivi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Oh ho ho ho ho—that's hilarious! Calling us demons? Do you even know who I am?"

The captain of the Long Long Pirates, arrogant and domineering, shouted, "Do you know who I am?! Let me tell you, I am Alexander Yaris Kentbol Harris Hendrykul Rudolf Abel..."

"Shut up!" Vivi held the black sword Qiushui to the old pirate's neck, and he immediately stopped talking.

"Hmph, I am the princess on that ship over there. Surprised? Unexpected? You want to kidnap me? I hereby declare that you have been kidnapped! Of course you can run away, but as soon as you return to the sunlight, the sun will burn you to a crisp. Those who are not afraid of death can go up to the deck and try."

After a defiant pirate strode out of the ship's cabin and was burned to black and gray ashes by the sunlight, the rest of the Long Long Pirates began to weep bitterly.

The Long Long Pirates planned to kidnap the princess, but now they have been kidnapped by the princess instead. They have not only lost their freedom, but also their own shadows.

Vivi made the whale Laboon swim over, forcing the Long Long Pirates to sail their ship into the whale's mouth. Afterward, she returned to her ship in Alabasta and, in one of the cargo holds, pulled Mr. 3, the tool she had hinted at more than ten times and who was now almost driven mad by the hints, out of his large suitcase.

When Vivi returned to Moria's mansion with Mr. 3 and a bunch of prisoners, she habitually activated her Observation Haki to investigate and unexpectedly discovered Perona. How come there was suddenly someone in Laboon's stomach?

Thinking it was an enemy, she hurriedly drew her knife and rushed to the gate of the mansion.

Perona had grown tired of cursing Crocodile and was sitting at the entrance of the mansion like a lazy bum, staring blankly like a gatekeeper.

Vivi never expected that the person who appeared on the island would be Princess Mononoke; in her memory, that person had already run away.

Her tone wasn't very friendly; she asked curtly, "Hey, stop spacing out! I'm talking to you. What are you doing here? How did you get in?"

Perona froze for a moment, instinctively hiding behind the unconscious, lifeless little teddy bear zombie. Then, she peeked out from under the zombie's armpit and asked nervously, "Who...who are you?!"

Seemingly realizing her question lacked authority, she raised her voice: "This is my home, and I should be asking you the same question! Why are you here?"

Chapter 168 The Magical Duck

Vivi's expression gradually softened. When she first discovered there were people on the island, she thought they were enemies who had infiltrated and were causing trouble.

Now she hesitated. If it were anyone else, she would simply expel them, but with Perona, she felt that doing so would be a bit too harsh.

You need to be reasonable when doing things.

Walpo committed numerous evil deeds, frequently consuming people's houses. Vivi imprisoned him in the desert, forcing him to eat sand, which Vivi believed was his just deserts punishment.

The Long Long Pirates planned to kidnap the father and daughter, but she captured them, cut off their shadows, and used them as laborers. This was also a way of punishing evil and promoting good.

But she couldn't do that with Princess Perona.

They're staying at home perfectly fine, not doing anything wrong. Their biggest problem is that they like to stay home. What's wrong with that?

Baroque Works, Bucky the Clown, Tea Beard, Jack the Drought, Cracker, and their whole gang stormed into someone's house, smashing and looting everything! In the end, they killed the homeowner, took all the valuables, and even razed the house to the ground!

In this matter, Perona is arguably the most innocent party.

Now Weiwei has forcibly occupied someone's home and wants to kick the owner out?

This argument is unreasonable under any worldview!

In particular, the Devil's Island incident was the result of Vivi's secret instigation. Moria's death had nothing to do with her, but if it weren't for her, Moria's "family" would still be eating hot pot and singing on the island... and wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation.

Her conscience hadn't been eaten by dogs yet. She originally thought that with Moria's "family" gone or dead, the mansion was ownerless, so she could take it without a second thought.

Now that she has suddenly met the victim, she feels guilty.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "You don't recognize me... That's great. Actually, I was just passing by, no, I wasn't just passing by... This is my place! I'm not talking about the house, I'm talking about this space!"

While Vivi was speaking, Duck Karu had already led more than twenty pirates from the Long Long Pirates to the front of the mansion.

Having been hinted at more than ten times, Mr. 3, who believed the two were good friends, even made a lot of tools for the pirates using wax.

At this moment, a group of people were holding shovels and spades, clearly ready to get to work.

Perona roared, "This is my home! Get out! Get out!"

Three semi-transparent, negative ghosts appeared out of thin air. Perona pointed at Vivi, and the three strange ghosts pounced on her at a not-so-fast speed.

Vivi frowned, and her Conqueror's Haki slammed directly onto Perona. The Ghost Princess's eyelids rolled back, her hands and feet trembled twice, and she fainted. The three negative ghosts also turned back into thin air.

"This is really troublesome. What should we do with this guy?" Vivi scratched her head. Killing him was inappropriate. Letting him go was also a problem.

When Perona woke up, she saw Vivi sitting next to her.

At this moment, she finally remembered who Weiwei was. She was the only one who had caused her to suffer on Devil Island. She hadn't remembered her before because she was distracted.

"What...what are you going to do?! If you do that again...I'll call for help!" She said something that was very easy to misinterpret.

Vivi dragged the little teddy bear zombie from Princess Mononoke closer. The thing was now a corpse, completely lifeless: "You want to...you want to bring this guy back to life, right?"

It was really hard to find the right words. The shadow inside the original ragdoll zombie had disappeared with the death of Moonlight Moria. If you put another shadow inside, it wouldn't be the original "bear" anymore. However, she still used the word "resurrection".

Perona was particularly depressed, her mood mirroring her own negative thoughts: "Lord Moria was killed by the Sand Crocodile, and Kumasi has left me forever, never to return..."

Vivi smiled smugly: "I can help you revive this guy. In return, you can work for me for the time being."

Princess Mononoke doesn't believe it at all. What nonsense are you spouting?

"I know you don't believe me. Actually, this development surprised me as well. Of course, I had a purpose in returning to this island. Although Moria is dead, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is still around."

Perona was shocked: "You ate Lord Moria's fruit?!"

Vivi scratched her head: "No."

"You dare to play me!" Princess Mononoke gritted her teeth, looking extremely angry, but unable to defeat her opponent and forced to endure it.

"I didn't eat it, but my duck did..."
