One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

"Let's not talk about that now. Could you please tell me about the Baroque Works?"

Nami had no desire to take any risks, and she would never put herself in danger without first understanding the whole story.

After all, 90 million Berries is nothing compared to a life.

Hearing Nami's persistent question, Icarus picked up the conversation and said directly:

"Baroque Works is an organization that, openly, captures pirates and earns bounties by acting as bounty hunters."

"But in secret, they harbor a very large ambition."

Upon hearing this, Nami tentatively asked:

"So, may I ask, what exactly is this enormous ambition?"

Upon hearing this, Icarum fell silent.

This matter, once revealed, will definitely cause panic.

Needless to say, this shrewd woman in front of him would definitely not let this go.

Seeing Icarus's hesitant expression, Nami nervously rubbed her hands, eagerly awaiting an answer.

At this moment, Weiwei slowly raised her head and said:

"Baroque Workshop, aiming to build a fantastical, ideal kingdom!"

"Among all members of the Baroque Workshop, the higher the rank, the higher the position one can hold in the kingdom."

"And the ideal country they want to seize is my country, Alabasta!"

Upon hearing this, Nami felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, and a look of fear involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

"You mean to say that the current state of Alabasta is entirely the work of Baroque Works?"

Hearing this, Weiwei lowered her head, and after a long while, she finally spoke:

"You could say that."

Upon hearing this, Nami was stunned.

After a long while, Nami clenched her right fist, slammed her hand down, and then said:

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that our flight paths seem to be a little different, so we can't escort you back."

Upon hearing this, neither Icarus nor Vivi showed much surprise.

Any normal pirate would be intimidated by Baroque Works. Even if they didn't know who the boss behind Baroque Works was, they would still be intimidated by their huge ambitions.

Pirates like this are not trustworthy at all.

But without their escort, Vivi would never be able to return to Alabasta.

With that thought in mind, Ikaram looked at Nami with a serious expression.

Are you the captain?

Upon hearing this, Nami was momentarily speechless, and stammered as she pointed at Luffy and said:

"No, he is..."

Upon hearing this, Icarus bypassed Nami and stood in front of Luffy.

Then he said in a very formal and serious manner:

"Could you please escort Princess Vivi back to Alabasta?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy didn't even blink, replying casually:

"Ah, sure!"

Upon hearing this, Nami and Zoro were immediately stunned.

They said in unison:

"So casual..."

Chapter 72 Baroque Studio, an absolute secret!

A moment later, Nami clenched her fist and pressed it against Luffy's head, scolding him:

"Hey, Luffy, do you know what you're saying? Escorting them back might cost us our lives!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately became impatient and said:

"Enough talk, I'm the captain, and what I say goes!"

Faced with the overwhelming power of Luffy, Nami was on the verge of tears and slowly knelt down.

"Please, think about it again..."

Luffy completely ignored Nami's pleas and immediately stood up.

"No matter how strong he is, we'll knock him flying!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Zoro's eyes lit up with excitement, and he glanced at Lei Luo.

"How about it, having a captain like this must be a headache, right?"

Hearing this, Lei Luo didn't take it to heart and then looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Now, the challenge we face is how to shake off their pursuit."

"You two have already been exposed. Baroque Works will probably send their top assassins to hunt you down."

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately braced herself with her hands on the ground, her entire body enveloped in shadow.

It seems like it will vanish with the wind at any moment.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly came over.

"So you were here! I've been looking for you everywhere!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others immediately looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Luffy said excitedly:

"Oh, Sanji, you've finally arrived!"

Sanji was holding a vulture and a cat in his hands.

It was the Baroque Studio's observers who were specifically tasked with relaying information to headquarters.

Upon seeing this, Lei Luo couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Looks like you've brought back some decent ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Sanji proudly replied:

"Right? Now we have nothing to worry about."

After saying that, Sanji glanced at Vivi, who had her hair disheveled.

It's even more beautiful than before, a whole new level.

Sanji immediately transformed into a wave shape and appeared in front of Vivi.

"Oh, beautiful princess, please allow me to be your servant!"

Sanji's words undoubtedly earned him a merciless beating from Nami's iron fist.

"Please, stop arguing! That's a studio run by a big shot who has influence over an entire kingdom. How could we possibly stand up to them!"

After Nami finished speaking, she led them to pack their luggage and leave.

But at that moment, Icarum put on Vivi's clothes and transformed into Vivi's appearance.

She was also holding four dolls in her arms.

"Don't worry, I will pretend to be you and distract them. Then you can march straight in and escort Her Highness the Princess into Alabasta."

Hearing this, Nami immediately relaxed and said with a smile:

"So that means we won't encounter any danger on this trip?"

Upon hearing this, Icarum turned around.

"Well, that depends on your luck."

Upon hearing this, Nami shed two more tears.

He looked utterly hopeless.

Icarum, carrying the doll, boarded the ship and looked back at Princess Vivi, whose face was already streaked with tears.

"Please take care, Your Highness. I hope we can meet in Alabasta."

Weiwei wanted to say something, but she couldn't get the words out. Her heart was pounding, and she had a feeling that something was about to happen.

Icarus sailed away, and Luffy slowly stood up.

"In that case, let's set off quickly. The journey ahead looks very interesting."

Upon hearing this, Zoro also stood up from the box.

"Indeed, it could be incredibly interesting."

Although Sanji knew little about the cause and effect, he still lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Although I don't know what you're talking about, I'd be more than willing to escort the beautiful princess."

They had all expressed their opinions, but only Leilo remained focused on the large ship where Icarus was located.

If things go as expected, Nico Robin will make her appearance.

Lei Luo hesitated, wondering whether he should take this opportunity to bring Robin onto the ship.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up.

Since the system hasn't issued a mission to invite Robin to join the ship yet.

That proves that the time is not yet right.

Meanwhile, Nami, who was restless, kept circling around Vivi.

"Please, just tell us who the boss behind this is, okay?"
