Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Therefore, Princess Vivi's awakening undoubtedly pleased King Cobra.

Seeing this, Princess Vivi seized the opportunity to speak.

"Father, I was able to escape this disaster entirely thanks to Lord Yasuo's help. Moreover, Lord Yasuo's wind swordsmanship is extremely powerful. I would like to become his disciple. Is that alright?"

"The Way of the Wind-Riding Sword?"

Cobra stroked his mustache and said somewhat awkwardly.

“Vivi, it’s not that I don’t trust your judgment, it’s just that Lord Yasuo’s appearance at such a coincidence, and the fact that he was wearing a mask, makes me very suspicious.”

"Father, the ability that attacked me really was manipulating sand; it was definitely that pirate Crocodile," Princess Vivi said indignantly.

“Vivi, you can’t doubt Mr. Crocodile like that…”

After a pause, King Cobra made no attempt to hide anything and began to speak.

"Crocodile's late-night visit this time is to ask me to recommend him to the World Government for the privileged title of 'Shichibukai'."

"In contrast, Mr. Crocodile will serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to protect the kingdom's coastline from frequent pirate raids."

"And when Bell noticed the great commotion and fighting in the capital, Mr. Crocodile was sitting right in front of me. How could he possibly attack you? And he had absolutely no reason to attack you."

Upon hearing this, Princess Vivi's expression showed both resentment and self-doubt.

Could it be... that it really isn't Crocodile?

Seeing this, Cobra continued, "Vivi, I know quite a few sword styles in this ocean, but I've never heard of the Wind-Riding Sword Style, and I've never even heard of the name Yasuo."

Upon hearing the last part, Princess Vivi started to act coquettishly and said...

“Father, I don’t care. I just believe in Lord Yasuo. The sense of security I feel when I’m by his side is genuine, just like the sense of security I feel when I’m by my mother’s side.”

[Chapter 314 Seeking Instruction on the Way of the Sword]

Upon hearing Princess Vivi mention her mother, King Cobra's expression became complicated, and he said...

"Really? Lord Yasuo is actually able to give you this feeling."

"Ah."

Princess Vivi nodded emphatically and said.

"I believe that Lord Yasuo has no ill intentions towards me, and my encounter with Lord Yasuo was purely coincidental. This attack was definitely not carried out by Lord Yasuo."

After a moment's thought, King Cobra slowly nodded and said.

"Alright then, but from now on, whether you leave the palace or go to see Lord Yasuo, you must have guards with you, and have Icarus or Bel accompany you."

"Thank you, Father."

Princess Vivi was overjoyed and exclaimed repeatedly.

However, Princess Vivi then thought for a moment and asked with some concern, "Father, are you really going to agree to Crocodile's request and cooperate with him?"

King Cobra patted Princess Vivi's head and spoke to her in detail, as if giving her a lecture.

"I have already investigated Mr. Crocodile's past. It is true that he was a pirate before, and he was a great pirate who once went to the New World to challenge 'Whitebeard' Newgate Edward."

"However, although Mr. Crocodile has a history of ruthless actions, he has no record of massacring civilians. Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for Crocodile to withdraw from the New World Seas and have the idea of ​​cooperating with the Kingdom."

"Moreover, this is also a good thing for the kingdom, as it can greatly improve public security and reduce casualties among soldiers fighting pirates. Therefore, I have agreed to Mr. Crocodile's request."

Hearing this, Princess Vivi pouted, feeling that Crocodile was not trustworthy, but she couldn't say anything more.

After all, Cobra is the King of Alabasta, and since Cobra has made his decision, Princess Vivi has no way to change it.

However, Princess Vivi was already quite happy to have received King Cobra's permission to become Yaso's disciple.

So after chatting with King Cobra for a few more minutes, Princess Vivi made an excuse to leave and went straight to Arn's room.

"Boom boom boom!"

A soft knock sounded, and Princess Vivi's clear voice rang out faintly.

"Lord Yasuo, are you asleep?"

Yern glanced in the direction Dragon had left, and only after confirming that Dragon was gone did he speak. "Come in."

Princess Vivi then told the guards behind her to wait at the door, while she pushed the door open a crack and went inside.

Princess Vivi glanced around the room, put her hands behind her back, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Lord Yaso, haven't you gone to bed yet?"

"Yes, I was just about to take a shower and then go to sleep. Is there something you need?" Yann asked.

"No, I just happened to be passing by to see if Lord Yasuo is settling in well."

After a pause, Princess Vivi looked up at Yaen and made a request. "Also, I would like to invite Lord Yasuo to be my kendo instructor. I wonder if that would be possible?"

A kendo teacher?

Arn was somewhat surprised by Princess Vivi's request.

However, Yann quickly and directly refused.

“My swordsmanship is not yet at the level where I can pass it on to my disciples. Moreover, as a princess of a country, you have no need to practice swordsmanship. What you need to master is how to govern the country.”

“But Lord Yasuo, your wind-wielding swordsmanship is so cool! I also want to have the ability to create whirlwinds with a wave of my hand,” Princess Vivi replied, her eyes sparkling.

Hearing this, Yann became even more determined to refuse Princess Vivi.

That so-called Wind-Riding Sword Dao is completely fake, so how can it be taught?

To truly possess the ability to create whirlwinds, it would be impossible unless Dragon was defeated, allowing the "Wind-Wind Fruit" to reappear somewhere in the sea, or Princess Vivi ate another fruit that could manipulate wind.

“No,” Yann said directly.

"Why? Lord Yaso, I will definitely try my best." Princess Vivi continued to plead, and it looked like she was about to lean closer again and use her little girl's coquettish privilege.

Seeing this, Ya'en retreated repeatedly, keeping his distance from Princess Vivi, and made an excuse.

"This matter can be discussed later, Princess Vivi. I need to bathe and calm my mind after killing someone. Please leave first."

Immediately, without waiting for Princess Vivi to speak, Yann turned around and went into the bathroom in the room to take a bath.

Are you kidding me?

The agreement made with Princess Vivi to escort her to the palace was already quite troublesome, so where would Yann find the time to stay here and slowly teach this blue-haired little girl swordsmanship?

Is Robin not elegant and mature enough, or is Hancock not charming and queenly enough?

Besides, if Yann really has this time, he should think about how to teach his children in the future.

However, to avoid the little blue-haired girl's tearful and coquettish advances, Yann used this excuse to avoid her without hesitation.

"Crash..."

The sound of water could be heard inside the bathroom.

Princess Vivi plopped down on the sofa, her lips slightly pouting, looking unhappy and utterly confused.

Lord Yasuo, why are you refusing me?

I can clearly sense that Lord Yasuo likes me, just like Ikarum and Bell. He shouldn't be unwilling to teach me.

Or is this a test from Lord Yasuo, to see if I truly want to learn swordsmanship?

Just as Princess Vivi was waiting idly for Arn and wondering what the reasons might be, a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up noodle) rang.

"Bru bru~"

Princess Vivi's gaze shifted, and she quickly spotted the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) on the table.

Princess Vivi turned her head to look at Arn, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, and naturally answered the Den Den Mushi as if she were helping her father. She picked it up and spoke directly.

"Moshi moshi, call back later."

"Ah..."

Hancock's voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi suddenly stopped, her eyebrows furrowing as she listened to her clear, childlike voice.

Where did this contracted sound come from?

"Who are you?" Hancock asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Princess Neferutari Vivi of the Kingdom of Alabasta," Princess Vivi answered honestly.

However, Hancock heard this as a provocation.

Princess?

I am the Queen of the Amazonian Lily Kingdom!

"Why are you in your hands?" Hancock asked.

“He went to take a shower. I’m waiting for him to finish so I can ask him more in-depth questions about swordsmanship,” Princess Vivi replied.

!!!

Hancock's eyes widened in disbelief.

What kind of kendo do you need to ask me after you've taken a shower?

What is Princess Mikoto trying to do?

[Chapter 315 The Mysterious and Arrogant Woman]

"I urge you to stop this behavior," Hancock warned, enunciating each word clearly.

"why?"

Princess Vivi said, full of confusion, "Lord Yasuo clearly likes me very much, and he's happy to teach me swordsmanship."

At that moment, Hancock's anger surged, and she didn't even hear clearly that Princess Vivi was talking about Yasuo, not Yann.

“Even if he’s willing, that’s not a reason. You’re not qualified, understand?” Hancock snapped.

Upon hearing this, Princess Vivi felt that the woman in front of her was incredibly willful and arrogant, and she couldn't help but get a little angry. She said proudly.

“I am a princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta. I am not qualified, but are you?”

Princess Vivi immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi in her hand, muttering something under her breath.

"baffling……"

"Oh dear, I forgot to ask who that woman was before hanging up. How am I going to relay this to Lord Yasuo?"

Princess Vivi suddenly felt uneasy, as if she had done something wrong.
