When Vivi saw Luffy, she became even more frightened and said quickly:

"I, I will compensate you... I was just very hungry and wanted to find something to eat. I didn't know it was... a magical thing. It's almost like a devil fruit."

Nami immediately put on a friendly smile:

"So, Princess Weiwei, how much money are you going to pay as compensation?"

"Five...five hundred thousand Baileys, what do you think?"

Weiwei probably felt that the price was too low, so her voice got softer and softer, until it was as thin as a mosquito and could not be heard unless you listened carefully.

"Five hundred thousand?!" Nami grabbed Vivi's collar again, turned into a shark mouth, and swung it back and forth: "Are you stupid? If five hundred thousand can buy something like that, I want to buy a whole box!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... That's all my savings."

Weiwei wanted to cry but had no tears; her head hurt from being shaken.

"I was the fool who had expectations for you just now. If you were rich, would you be so hungry that you would come here to steal food?"

"Yes……"

Weiwei's stomach cooperated very well and made a gurgling sound, and the little girl's face suddenly turned red.

Luffy couldn't help but laugh as he watched the two girls quarrel.

He sat down next to Nami and asked, "Which two moves have you mastered?"

"Moon Steps and Finger Guns..."

Weiwei bit her lower lip. She knew that the person in front of her was the real boss, the captain. "Please don't throw me into the sea to feed the fish. When I return to the kingdom, I will definitely give you enough compensation!"

When you return to the kingdom, you will probably be killed by Baroque Works on the way!

Luffy complained in his heart and laughed:

"Nefertari of Alabasta, there is a rebellion in your country right now, and the country is in a mess. I'm afraid you don't have much money to pay compensation. What's more, the Six-Style Fruit is something that cannot be bought with money."

"What should we do with her, Luffy?" Nami looked helpless.

"Princess, she would be worth a lot of money if sold as a slave," Luffy said with a smirk.

"That's a good idea, worthy of Luffy~" Nami's eyes lit up and she looked in agreement.

The two of them sang in unison, scaring Weiwei so much that her face turned pale.

"I'm sorry!! Please don't do this... I'm willing to do anything, please let me go!"

The princess' fate after being sold as a slave is self-evident.

"Hahaha."

Luffy couldn't help but laugh, it was really fun to scare a little girl.

Nami rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "I'm kidding. We're not low-level pirates. We wouldn't do such a boring thing."

"Thank you!" Weiwei was immediately relieved.

"But you still have to pay the compensation! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night!"

"I, I understand. I will definitely find a way..."

Weiwei nodded repeatedly, fearing that these two bad men and women would change their minds.

Luffy shook his head and said, "The black market price of devil fruits is at least 100 million Baileys. The Six-style fruit is even rarer and has no side effects, so the price can only go higher."

One hundred million!!

Vivi's heart almost stopped beating. If it was the old Alabasta, taking out this money would not be a big deal, but now...

"From what I know, Alabasta is now being targeted by Crocodile. It won't be long before you are no longer a princess, but a princess of a fallen nation, and you won't have the money to pay compensation."

Suddenly hearing these words, Weiwei's body trembled, and her eyes widened in disbelief:

"You...how do you know? Who are you?"

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and my grandfather is Monkey D. Garp, Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters."

The grandson of a naval hero?

Weiwei opened her mouth wide. This status was not necessarily lower than that of a princess... no, in a sense, it was even higher.

He is the core senior leader of the three major forces in the Grand Line and the face of the navy!

"Crocodile?" Nami asked in confusion.

"Just like Hawkeye we met before, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, nicknamed Sand Crocodile." Luffy explained.

Vivi stared at Luffy blankly, her little head in a mess.

After a while, I got excited:

"What on earth does this mean?!"

"You know what Crocodile did in Alabasta? Did you find out from the navy?"

"If that's the case, why isn't the Navy doing anything about it!?"

Ouch, I found the blind spot. That’s pretty smart.

Luffy smiled softly.

Crocodile is a pirate. A pirate went to Alabasta and became a hero. If you say that he turned over a new leaf and became a new man, the Five Elders would probably laugh their heads off.

They must be planning something, but considering that they are Shichibukai and are government lackeys, we just don't bother to care.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. Don't forget that you are my prisoner now, little Princess Weiwei."

Luffy raised his hand and explained to her the rules of how this world works.

After listening to this, Weiwei murmured absentmindedly:

"No wonder I never received any feedback after reporting to the navy... No one came to take a look, and they didn't care about what was happening in Alabasta at all!"

People know, or can guess some of the situations, but they just can't and don't want to control them.

After all, the Navy is said to be one of the three major forces in the Grand Line and the strongest force, but to put it bluntly, it is still a dog of the World Government.

Without the government's approval, the navy cannot touch the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Even if Vivi ran up to Sengoku and slapped all the evidence of what Crocodile had done in his face, nothing would come of it.

Vivi was so shocked that her eyes turned red and tears fell down.

She bit her lips so hard that they bled.

"Alabasta... the rebels deceived by Crocodile, the people who suffered... is there no hope for them?"

She clenched her fists, but felt only profound powerlessness.

At the age of 14, she abandoned her identity as a princess and infiltrated the Baroque Works to investigate the mastermind behind the domestic unrest.

It took her two years to finally learn a name.

Behind all of this is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile.

She finally saw a glimmer of hope. As long as she got solid evidence and handed it over to the navy, everything that Alabasta had suffered would pass, the suffering would end, and the country would usher in hope.

However, now, someone told her that she was too naive.

"Ha... Luffy, don't bully me." Nami sighed deeply, looking at the pitiful Vivi, and felt empathy.

Luffy spread his hands: "I'm just helping you vent your anger. Who are you on the side of, Nami?"

She rolled her eyes at him.

Nami took Weiwei into her arms, patted her head, and comforted her with a smile:

"Don't cry, even though he's been scaring you, when he said that, he actually wanted to help you!"

"Eh?"

Vivi was stunned, then looked up with tears in her eyes, at Nami and then at Luffy.

Luffy rested his hand on his cheek and chuckled:

"Don't make it sound like I'm a pushover. Crocodile is just a little too arrogant. It's unreasonable. I have to teach him a lesson."

Eh?

why?

Vivi stared at Luffy blankly, she had clearly stolen their precious things.

Could it be that he is unexpectedly a good person?

Even though he knew she was one of the Shichibukai, he still wanted to help her and her country to face such a powerful enemy.

Sad, touched, confused, and puzzled.

Experiencing so many complex emotions at once, Weiwei's mind was in a mess.

suddenly.

"Ah!"

She sneezed.

It’s so cold!

"It's so cold!" Nami also felt cold. She looked out the window and opened her mouth in surprise.

I don't know when, thick fog appeared outside the window.

Mist poured in from the door, and the temperature in the cabin dropped rapidly, almost approaching freezing point.

"What happened?" Nami stood up suddenly, leaned over the window, and said in shock: "It was still daytime just now, the sun..."

The sun disappeared and thick fog obscured everything.

On the Merry following behind the Sunny, Sanji and others also discovered that something was wrong.
