The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

The Kingdom of Prodines? By using their territory to do things and then selling them pirate ships and weapons afterwards, they are also considered part of the "gentry".

Those so-called "warehouse kings" and "shipping kings" in the underworld are also "gentry," and can enjoy a share of the profits according to their respective business scopes.

Vivi splits profits with the Celestial Dragons, the Big Mom Pirates, Doflamingo, the Kingdom of Prodense, Crocodile, and the powerful figures in the underworld. If these deals have anything in common, it's that she's involved in every step of the profit-sharing process, and ultimately, she even gets a commission from Crocodile...

......

Vice Admiral Vigor secretly reported the transaction details and some naval operational plans to Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's face was extremely gloomy.

"Okay." He slammed the phone down.

He hasn't been idle these past three months.

He tried to sabotage Crocodile's plan, but the interests involved were too great, and even he couldn't shake those clamoring interest groups waiting for a 30/70 split of the profits.

Now things are becoming clearer. In addition to the Navy, he also learned that three of the four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates have left the Totto Land Kingdom. Even the flagship of the Big Mom Pirates, the Queen Mother Singer, has been dispatched, with the Pirate Expo as its target. There is no doubt that Crocodile has the support of the Big Mom Pirates behind him, making him an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

Doflamingo was able to play both sides successfully because he could provide benefits to all parties. Now that all parties are turning against him for greater benefits, his situation has become very bad.

He tried to use his connections with the Celestial Dragons to put pressure on the Navy, but his previously infallible tactics failed. Some Celestial Dragons supported him, while others supported Crocodile. The two sides fought each other in a chaotic manner. The Five Elders hoped to see someone suppress Doflamingo's power and forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction of several Celestial Dragons.

Doflamingo's "allies" in the underworld also made a series of phone calls, some mocking, some teasing, and some joking.

Intelligence King, Morgans.

Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street.

Field, the king of loan sharks.

The King of Shipping, Umit.

King of Storage, Gibson.

The King of Assassins, Pierre Clod.

The six people were surprisingly in agreement: they were all looking forward to seeing the spectacle.

So this is what happens to you? If you can pull through, we can still be friends. But if you can't, these underworld emperors won't mind tearing some fat off Doflamingo's business empire.

The Pirate Expo is unstoppable, and all forces are keeping a close eye on this grand event.

During the World Expo, even the kings of the underworld don't know exactly how many people will attend, how many pirate crews will be involved, or how many big merchants will be there, because there are just too many people.

Chapter 212 The World Expo Opens

"Crocodile! I'm going to skin you alive!" Doflamingo naturally pinned the blame on Crocodile. The Big Mom Pirates supporting him as their proxy was a perfectly legitimate move in the pirate world, and it looked like Katakuri's doing.

He didn't dare to confront Katakuri, because Katakuri's family had too many children, and they were quite united. With dozens of brothers and sisters rushing at him, who could withstand that? He could only continue to resent Crocodile.

New and old grudges all came together at once.

He summoned all the Don Quixote family executives back, intending to teach Crocodile a lesson he would never forget during the World's Fair!

......

The countdown to the World Expo is about to begin.

As a neighboring country, the situation in Dressrosa inevitably caused great turmoil.

Provoking trouble is necessary, but the chaos afterwards must be kept under control. The pirates at the Expo will be handed over to the Navy for arrest, but the chaos in Dressrosa needs someone with the right mindset to take over.

Vivi found Riku Dold III, the former king of Dressrosa who was forced to abdicate. He was always referred to as King Riku by the outside world.

Doflamingo has now ruled Dressrosa for over a decade and doesn't care much about the aging and frail former king. In addition, he is busy dealing with Crocodile's challenge, so Vivi found the former king without much effort.

“Your Majesty King Riku.” Vivi stopped King Riku in the alley, who was dressed sloppily and seemed to have become a commoner.

With the second-generation Kitetsu and the black sword Shusui hanging at her waist, she was increasingly displaying the demeanor of a swordsman. Even just standing there in an ordinary manner, she exuded an aura as sharp as a knife.

"Who are you?" King Riku had a gray beard and hair, and his muscles were still quite strong. He had a straight back, but one could still see a hint of weariness in him.

"I am the one who can help you restore your country."

"Restoring the country is a joke. Nobody dares to say that anymore. Young man, let me give you some advice: no one can defeat Doflamingo. If you don't want to mysteriously disappear, then leave this country."

Vivi stepped aside to make way.

As King Riku passed by, she said softly, "When the Expo opens, Dressrosa will be thrown into chaos, and many missing people will reappear. Among them may be your friends and loyal subordinates. I hope you can step forward and lead the people; it is your duty."

King Riku stared intently at her face: "That is no longer my duty. Please do not come looking for me again."

The old man strode out of the alley, and Vivi watched quietly as Bello Betty appeared beside her at the right moment.

The uninhibited woman was still dressed with her chest exposed, and had a cigarette in her mouth.

"It seems your persuasion efforts have failed?"

Weiwei shook her head: "On the contrary, it was a success. The old man recognized me. He must have seen my photo in the last few years."

Bello Betty scoffed, "Then why doesn't he just say so? Can't he sit down and discuss it? He should be very excited about restoring his kingdom, right? Why would he rather go back and guess than ask directly? You nobles are really hypocritical."

Vivi chuckled dismissively: "It's common to leave some room for maneuver in your words. You'll get used to it. Once your revolutionary army gains real power, you'll become like that too."

"impossible!"

"Yes, yes, no way. Why don't you come and join me? I'll make you a countess, a countess, how about that? Doesn't it sound tempting?"

"Get out! My will is as strong as steel!..."

The chaos in Dressrosa is foreseeable. Once Sugar falls into a coma or dies, those she turned into toy soldiers with her Devil Fruit powers will return to their original state. The opposition that has been building up for ten years will erupt all at once, and the country will definitely undergo earth-shattering changes.

When King Riku raises his arms and his supporters rise up in droves, and the Revolutionary Army adds fuel to the fire, Doflamingo's rule will be as fragile as a castle on the beach.

......

February 2nd, 1519 in the Sea Calendar. Few people know that today is Vivi's 15th birthday, and the highly anticipated Pirate Expo officially begins on this day.

The time allotted for preparing and gathering pirates was rather short, and many pirates from the four seas simply didn't have time to come. Even so, in this great pirate era, the number of pirates attracted by the Expo far exceeded expectations.

“At least 100,000 pirates have come, at least, BON!” Baron Egg told Vivi the information they had gathered.

Are these 100,000 pirates? They're 100,000韭菜 (a Chinese

Wearing a mask, Vivi chatted idly with Baron Egg for a long time, clearly more interested in the 30/70 split of profits.

Where else can you find such a good deal: the chance to defeat Doflamingo, the chance to make money, and the chance to have someone take the blame?

"Hmm, it seems like it's time, Baron. Let's go backstage."

"Okay, I can't wait, BON!"

Vivi and the others went backstage, and Crocodile, the organizer, walked out amidst the cheers of the pirates shouting "Long live Crocodile!" and "Crocodile will be the Pirate King!"

He changed into a new outfit, which still had a strong gangster vibe, but he looked much more energetic and had the air of a leader.

"You all know me. Today is a festival for all pirates. Let's revel! Bring out the wine, gold coins, and treasures. Everything here today belongs to you! It belongs to all of you!" Crocodile gave a brief opening speech.

Vivi, through her connection with Tanaka, hired a dance troupe from the Golden Emperor to perform. The dancers were dressed provocatively, their golden gowns shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight, with gold dust occasionally falling. The pirates watching up close were dumbfounded. With the booming of numerous cannons, the Expo officially opened.

Vivi couldn't stand Baron Egg's constant "BON" bombardment any longer: "...I'm going out to patrol for a bit. Let me know if anything happens."

Despite Crocodile's current anger at the mere sight of Baroque Works, Vivi still managed to bring in staff from the studio to help maintain order and relay messages.

She traveled around the island in a sightseeing vehicle.

On the way, I saw two giants from the Baroque Studio performing a chest-breaking exercise, Mr. 2 Bon Clay leading a bunch of strange people in a ballet performance, a slightly timid little girl, and Ms. Golden Week painting portraits for people on the roadside.

Pirates plunder all over the world and are actually quite wealthy, but their money often can't buy anything, and normal people won't sell anything to them. Over time, pirates have accumulated a considerable fortune.

The World Expo provides such a trading platform, with the Seven Warlords of the Sea as guarantors and the Big Mom Pirates' vague introduction, making pirates feel relatively safe trading here.

After you report it, the administrator will correct the chapter content later.

Chapter 213 The Unexpected Appearance

At the World Expo, weapons, pirate ships, gold, treasures, treasure maps, ancient documents, and all sorts of priceless items were traded.

Vivi got out of the car and looked around, discovering that the entire island was teeming with pirates.

Baron Tamago said that 100,000 pirates had arrived, and that was no exaggeration; the actual number was likely higher than that.

As she looked around, a tall woman wearing a cowboy hat, low-rise jeans, and a shoulder bag, with a large expanse of skin exposed around her navel and lower abdomen, caught her eye. At first glance, she thought she was seeing things, but upon closer inspection...

Vivi walked over quickly, grabbed Robin's arm, and dragged him into a side alley.

"Wow, Ms. Wednesday, you're really strong," Robin said with a laugh.

Vivi looked at her in disbelief: "Our employer doesn't want to see you. He's threatened to kill you twice, just in front of me. Why are you here? Are you crazy?"

Robin covered her mouth and chuckled: "Hehehe, don't be nervous. There are so many people here today, that guy has no idea I'm here. When it comes to hiding, I'm very experienced."

Vivi tentatively believed this explanation. She used her Observation Haki to sense her surroundings and indeed did not find any enemies.

"That's too dangerous. There's nothing to see here. You should leave now."

Robin disagreed with this statement, opened his shoulder bag, and took out a tattered, thick book: "Look, this is what I just found. It's an analysis of the events of Fisher Tiger's rampage in Mary Geoise in the year 1507 of the Sea Calendar by the famous writer Quinnil, who was a witness to the events. This is the original version."

Vivi looked at her without saying anything. Robin smiled mischievously and raised her hands: "Okay, I surrender. Well, I mainly came to see you guys. After all, I've put in several years of hard work for the studio. Seeing that you can organize such a big event, I feel relieved. You are indeed very capable. I didn't misjudge you."

Is that right?

Vivi was still a little suspicious, but she didn't sense any malice, and her level 6 Observation Haki couldn't detect anything either.

She leaned close to Robin's ear, inhaling a delicate rose-scented fragrance. She lowered her voice and said, "There's a conspiracy at this Expo. Don't linger here. Trust me, leave the island now. Hurry up, or it'll be too late."

Her expression was very serious, and Robin nodded mechanically.

The next second...

"Robin! Be my partner!"

A guy wearing a straw hat, a red vest, and sneakers stood at the alley entrance, arms raised, shouting loudly.

Vivi Σ(⊙▽⊙)!

She stiffly turned her head and carefully examined the boy in the straw hat from head to toe twice. Even though she had made many contingency plans for the Expo and was practically the mastermind behind it all, she was stunned for two seconds by this sudden turn of events...

Robin's appearance here is understandable, but Luffy's appearance horrified her! Good heavens! Not only did he set sail early, but he's directly arrived at the Dressrosa arc? A one-step journey? Starting his adventure directly in the New World? Leveling up here is fast, but dying is fast too.

And...Robin? Luffy knew the name Robin at this point?
