The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

"Wei Kingdom!"

The crimson blade of light carved a deep trench in the ground, cleaved Hawkins' body in two, and carried the corpse more than ten meters into the air. Then, like a shooting star, the blade of light flew off the island.

The duck hiding in the woods quacked twice, and the straw demon it had sealed inside the shadow box disappeared. This could only mean one thing: Basil Hawkins was dead.

"Damn, this is exhausting..." Vivi deactivated her vampire form and took several deep breaths to calm her surging killing intent.

Is Hawkins strong? Actually, this guy is quite strong. In terms of Haki, swordsmanship, and so on, he's no less capable than the rear admirals Vivi saw at Marine Headquarters.

But what makes him truly memorable is not his domineering presence or swordsmanship, but rather his roguish Devil Fruit ability.

Vivi wiped out all the pirates on the island first, and even then, she killed Hawkins more than thirty times before finally eliminating him completely.

Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!

The battle was incredibly frustrating, but the duck's shadows were far from idle. One shadow sealed the Straw Demon, while the others were constantly picking up skills in their battle area.

Vivi couldn't pick up her own skills; at least, she had never seen any of her own skills drop.

After a day of hard work, Hawkins had managed to acquire 99% of her abilities, which was her biggest takeaway from this trip to the North Sea.

"Go, check the whole island and see if the straw fruits have respawned." Vivi gave the duck the order, and the duck turned around to give instructions to the zombies.

The zombies launched a search across the entire island.

As it turns out, the World Government spent 800 years trying to figure out the secret of Devil Fruit respawning; the rules governing this thing are not so simple.

We searched the entire island three times, focusing on various fruits, but still couldn't find any straw fruits. Heaven knows where they went.

The battle between the scarecrow and the vampires and shadow zombies has come to an end. Isis has drained all the pirates' blood, and the once vibrant island has become extremely gloomy. At first glance, you will find that the island is lifeless. To put it more magically, there is too much negative energy on the island. In another world, this might be a good place for necromancers or organizations like the Netherworld Sect to set up shop.

Having "learned" Hawkins' divination skills, Vivi prepared to return to the New World.

However, before leaving, she glanced at Hawkins' body a few more times.

This guy is definitely dead; there's no question of him faking his death.

Vivi was wondering whether she should use this guy's corpse to exchange for the bounty.

She took out the information the Vinsmoke family had given her and checked it again.

Unfortunately, Hawkins' current bounty is only 2000 million, which is on par with Aaron from the East China Sea.

There's really no need to expose your whereabouts for such a small amount of money.

Let's stick to the original plan and use Hawkins' corpse to create zombies. Basil Hawkins has the nickname "Half-Immortal Hawkins". Now that he's been turned into a zombie, it can be considered a "fairy zombie" in another sense, right?

Although she found the art style a bit strange, Vivi still ordered the zombies to collect the corpses and seal them away. She needed to figure out whose shadow would be most suitable to put inside later. Ideally, she would restore Hawkins' divination abilities, even if it was only 50% of his former power, it would still be a win.

Chapter 197 Return to Wano Country

In Chapter 197 of the novel "The Pirate Princess Becomes a Queen," Vivi returns to Wano Country. To erase the traces of the battlefield, Vivi summons the whale Laboon again.

"Come on, Rab, sink this island!"

Labu practiced Iron Head Kung Fu facing the Reverse Mountain for fifty years. He certainly didn't understand internal energy, let alone how to "transfer" energy. But he did this every day for fifty years, so he must have mastered it.

Crashing into a mountain like the roof of the world wouldn't work, but crashing into a small island where pirates are currently stationed would be quite easy.

Labu did indeed have a bit of a "I feel uncomfortable if I don't crash into something" mentality. At this moment, he was overjoyed and accelerated his 400-meter body, crashing headlong into the island and sinking it.

Looking at the island that had sunk into the sea, Vivi was very satisfied. Now no one could find any evidence, right?

She ran around erratically, eliminating a pirate crew here and taking down a pirate captain there, making it impossible to discern her true objective.

After leaving the North Sea, crossing the doldrums, and re-entering the New World, the region with the most chaotic magnetic field in the entire world.

......

Vivi sat in the mansion of the Magic Duck, performing divination.

Hawkins has absorbed all his abilities. Now, "Spiritual Mathematics" is level 3, "Guided Divination" is level 4, and the rest of his miscellaneous skills are mostly between level 1 and 2. She estimates that Hawkins is at this level and can't level up any further.

"Hmm, let me calculate whether Kaido is home today or not. Holy crap, the chances of him being home are a whopping 95%? I'll stay anonymous..."

"Karu, the weather's nice today. Let me do another divination to see if Kaido is home today... 81% chance, still quite dangerous. Let's wait and see."

"Karu, I'm so tired. Peel an orange for me... Hmm, okay, let me do another divination. Today's odds are... 15%? Is the chance of Kaido being home today only 15%? Should I wait a bit longer? Maybe he'll be gone for good tomorrow?"

As it turns out, Kaido isn't Schrödinger's cat, and Vivi can't save her game either, so the odds fluctuate wildly. She wanted to wait until the odds were lower before acting, but the next day, the odds of Kaido being home exceeded 90%, leaving her speechless. Finally, when she encountered another situation with a 22% chance of Kaido being home, she had Laboon the whale stay in the deep sea outside the Wano Country waterfall to play, while she, along with Karu the duck and Mr. 3 the helper, secretly sneaked into Wano Country under the cover of darkness.

She returned to her clinic with practiced ease. Glancing inside, she saw a little girl named Ayu drinking soup from a bowl bigger than her own head.

"Ayu, I'm back!" She quietly walked over and suddenly called out in the little girl's ear.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Ayu was flustered and her wooden clogs slipped, causing her to lean forward. Weiwei reacted quickly and grabbed the bow on the back of her kimono.

"Oh, it's your older sister! Honestly, you're a grown-up, yet you're scaring a little kid like me." Ayu scolded Weiwei like a little adult.

But when Weiwei asked about her studies, the girl's eyes darted away, and her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Vivi, seemingly oblivious to her expression, continued, "I came back specifically to deliver a book to you. I asked an old man outside—well, to be honest, he's the ship's doctor from One Piece—to write a medical book specifically for beginners. Karu?"

The duck beside him hurriedly rummaged through its bag, pulling out a whole bunch of random things, before finally pulling out a thick book stained with jam and crab roe...

"Hey! You're Karu? I've heard my sister talk about you so many times! I'm Ayu! My goal is to become a glamorous..." The little girl glanced at Vivi: "...to become a glamorous female doctor!"

"quack!"

Ayu and the duck hit it off immediately and quickly became friends.

Five minutes later, Ayu was dragged back to her book by Weiwei, who grabbed her ear by the ear.

The day after Weiwei returned to the clinic, Ahe, the teahouse owner who also had a secret, told her about what had happened during that time.

There were basically no major events, and they couldn't find out anything significant either.

There are only some trivial things happening around me.

Using the money earned from the clinic and through Kyoshiro's connections, A-He would occasionally transport some grain out of the Flower Capital to help the villagers of Jianlou Village and Meigai Village.

The villagers in the two villages now have a very different mental outlook, all thanks to the clinic.

"It's just...it's just..." Ah He hesitated, unsure whether he should say it or not.

Under Weiwei's persistent questioning, she finally revealed the truth: "It's just that a little more people died at the clinic..."

Vivi: "???"

That afternoon, she witnessed Ahe and Ayu's treatment method. Good heavens, they first administered anesthesia, then performed bloodletting, but they couldn't control the degree of bloodletting. As they continued, the person died.

"Oh dear, sister, you're in the way! Go rest over there! Go, Karu! Yes, I'll do my best too!" Ayu was covered in sweat, running around busily, and seemed to find Weiwei a bit of a nuisance.

She and Ah He worked together seamlessly. The adult dug the hole, and the little girl cleaned up the traces. The patient who walked in by himself at noon went to rest in the backyard that night.

When Weiwei went over to take a look, wow, the backyard was densely planted with small trees. Using her ability to hear all things, she listened and found that the trees were growing very well, as if they all liked the environment of the clinic.

How could I not like it? There were way more than just a few deaths.

Fortunately, the Flower Capital is a chaotic place, and with Kyoshiro's protection, these two quacks would have been in trouble long ago if they were in another place.

Speak of Kyoshiro, and Kyoshiro arrives.

On the surface, he was the official money changer for General Kurozumi, but in reality, he was making deals with the World Government's CP9. Kyoshiro, who was frantically collecting weapons, quietly came to his door the following evening.

"I need more food, weapons, and supplies," he stated bluntly.

Vivi's whereabouts were not intended to be kept secret from this local tyrant. She said, "Actually, I'm also short of food here... but what can we do when we're old friends? Although there are some difficulties with transportation, we can continue trading, as long as you pay. I've come here this time for a very important matter that I need your help with."

"What kind of help?"

Tell me Kaido's whereabouts.

Kyoshiro was somewhat surprised: "You want to assassinate Kaido?"

Did I ask him about his whereabouts just to kill him? What kind of brains do people in the One Piece world have? Vivi neither said yes nor no.

As long as Kaido isn't home, she's 70% confident she can rescue Yamato.

Even without the handcuffs removed, Yamato is a formidable fighter. Together, in the darkness, they could withstand even the combined might of the Three Disasters. They would simply use Conqueror's Haki to clear out the weaker enemies, Armament Haki to take down the elites, and rely on their Devil Fruit abilities to tough out the Three Disasters. With Kaido absent, all this is manageable; but if Kaido were present… well, the outcome would be entirely different.

Chapter 198 The Key to Breaking the Stalemate

In the novel "The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen," Chapter 198, Kyoshiro is a confidant of Orochi, who is Kaido's puppet in Wano Country. Kyoshiro can gather information about Kaido's whereabouts to some extent. However, Kaido is a madman who goes on drunken rampages and might wander off somewhere. Kyoshiro's information is severely delayed and can only be considered supplementary. The key is... divination!

Over the next few days, Vivi returned to her role as a bloodletting doctor, explaining to her neighbors that she had gone out to collect herbs and concocted a more effective anesthetic.

Everyone was still wary of her anesthetic, and dared not speak or ask. In a daze, the fact that they had been away from Wano Country for more than half a year was forgotten.

Occasionally, Vivi would go to watch the matches of the fat sumo wrestlers. Watching one fat man shout "LokTar" and another fat man shout "Tasting Gou" before the two mountain-like fat men clashed fiercely together, she felt that she had made some small changes to the world. It was good, and she felt satisfied.

Kyoshiro would occasionally send her messages. Kaido's whereabouts were unpredictable, and often even his subordinates didn't know where he was.

You think he's not home? Actually, he's drinking inside.

You think he's home? There's no one in the room at all.

Kaido's whereabouts are often uncertain. Kyoshiro can use his influence to get Orochi to report things that seem important but are actually unimportant, thus using the opportunity to find out his whereabouts, but he can't keep reporting to him all the time.

Information about the Three Calamities, or the three major figures, is relatively easy to obtain.

Jack the Drought is just a henchman, often sent out by Kaido to fight this or that.

Queen the Plague spends most of his time in Wano Country conducting his scientific research. He is a cyborg with part of his body replaced by machinery, making him a scientist. He often focuses on researching his biological weapons and occasionally visits Kyoshiro's brothel for drinks and pleasure.

Information about King the Wildfire is scarce. He rarely takes action, but he is highly valued by Kaido. Compared to Drought, who only knows how to act recklessly, and Plague, who is cruel, arrogant, and somewhat cowardly, King the Wildfire is the most reliable. Kaido often entrusts King with guarding the house.

Vivi had a bit of a headache. She knew very little about the Wano Country storyline. After Kozuki Oden was cooked, she stopped paying attention to it. In her memory, this King had never made a move, and she had no idea what his abilities were.

As the leader of the Three Disasters, King is undoubtedly the first mate of the Beasts Pirates, on par with Marco and Katakuri. She felt uncertain about fighting without knowing the opponent's specific abilities.

A few days later, Kyoshiro secretly handed her a picture of Jin.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, both of them knew that the other was on the anti-Kaido side, and that was enough.

"Huh? Is this Jhin?" Vivi was a little surprised when she saw Jhin's photo.

King is very tall; Kyoshiro has seen him in person, and he is said to be six meters tall. This height is not unusual in the One Piece world, but the huge wings on King's back are quite unique.

Flames would also spew out from behind the embers. The photo wasn't very clear, but you could see the intense flames very clearly. Vivi looked at it several times.

"This must be some kind of Devil Fruit ability," Kyoshiro thought of the flames on King's body.

Illiteracy was rampant, and there were no channels of communication between people. People who knew nothing about history would definitely think this way. They would attribute anything they didn't understand to Devil Fruit abilities, and surprisingly, this kind of speculation had an accuracy rate of up to 90%. But Vivi was not such a dogmatic person.
