Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Luffy dodged to the side, then leaned against the wall next to him, shook his head slightly, and said, "Don't test us anymore... If I'm not mistaken, you have something to ask of us, right?!"

【ah! ! 】

As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Weiwei's eyes widened in bewilderment: "Ah? How...how did you know?"

Chapter 97: Straw Hat Pirates' Combat Meeting! (Subscribe!)

Princess Weiwei never imagined that the other party could even guess that she was testing him!!!

She had previously witnessed Luffy's fight with Crocodile, and how he had easily killed Crocodile in an instant. She was shocked at the time, thinking that this pirate was truly formidable! ! !

But later, when Luffy not only didn't kill Crocodile, but instead said, "You're able to uphold your duties as a Shichibukai and bring happiness and peace to the people of this city. This is truly worthy of respect," Princess Vivi found it strange...

"Since he's the brutal pirate who massacred the Walpo royal family, shouldn't he be evil by nature? Why would he let Crocodile go for that reason?"

Although Princess Vivi was still young, her sharp mind immediately suggested that the two "big pirates" with a 5000 million berry bounty might really be a misunderstanding, as they claimed...

[At that time, Luffy said in front of Crocodile that the Walpo gang were pirates and they were just getting rid of harm for the people.]

[These words will definitely sound like sophistry to others~~~]

[But Princess Weiwei feels that this situation is not impossible! ]

[Because when she was a child, she attended the World Conference with her father and met Wapol! Princess Vivi knew exactly what kind of villain Wapol was!]

[So regardless of whether or not Walpol was a pirate, at least killing Walpol was definitely not an "evil deed"...!!]

Killing the villain Walpo and sparing the "good man Crocodile"—these two things combined made Princess Vivi speculate that Luffy and Nami, the two so-called "big pirates," were most likely not villains, but genuinely good people! !

[With this psychological guess, Princess Vivi began to follow Luffy and Nami~~~]

Along the way, Princess Vivi saw that Luffy and Nami looked like they were just sightseeing, and they didn't look like bad guys at all. She immediately became more convinced of her suspicions!!

Now that she's been discovered by Luffy, if the other party is a vicious pirate, she will definitely die~~~~]

[But if he's not... Princess Vivi feels she can place her hopes of saving the Kingdom of Alabasta on him! !]

[Anyway, there are two options now. One is to make a wrong bet and die at the hands of the other party. The other is to win the bet and get to know the other party, and even ask for help...]

[“How…how did you know…???”]

After hearing Luffy guess her inner thoughts, Princess Vivi opened her mouth slightly and her breathing became rapid.

Luffy smiled slightly: "That's not that hard to guess, is it...?"

“When I was fighting the guardian deity of your Kingdom of Alabasta, there was someone beside you. That person should have been your companion or partner, but you sent him away and chose to follow us alone for so long…”

"You deliberately separated your companions and followed us alone. This means you have your own purpose, and this purpose cannot be known to your companions."

"You've seen our strength, yet you still risk your life to follow us. This shows that compared to your goal, your life is not that important~~~"

"The only thing I'm curious about right now is what kind of thing could possibly have caused you to disregard your own life and approach these two 'brutal pirates'~~~?"

[Luffy finished his analysis and looked at Vivi with curiosity~~~~]

Nefertari Vivi: "Oh my god...!!! Luffy over there actually guessed everything I was thinking!!!"

Although it was another version of herself, because of the same personality, Princess Vivi was completely certain that the other version of herself was indeed thinking the same way Red Luffy had guessed~~~

Kake: "He seems casual, but he's actually always paying attention to his surroundings. He also has such a meticulous mind and analytical ability. If a guy like him becomes a pirate, I'm starting to worry about the navy over there..."

Gion: "You really shouldn't have put a wanted bounty on Red Luffy so casually~~~"

Marco: "That's quite interesting... Just because you put a bounty on Red Luffy, you can't just put a bounty on others, right? If Red Luffy wasn't so powerful, I'm afraid no one in your navy would have any doubts about the navy putting a bounty on Luffy, right? "

Charlotte Linlin: "Hahahaha...!!! Isn't that what the navy is like? They have the final say when it comes to those weaker than them! And when it comes to those who can threaten them, they try every possible means to win them over!"

Charlotte Perospero: "Mom's right! Isn't that how the Shichibukai came about...?"

Rocks D. Gibeck: "Haha, that's right! Aren't the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea just dogs of the World Government? What a disgrace to pirates...!!!"

After listening to Luffy's analysis, Princess Vivi remained frozen in place.

[Her heart was beating fast as she thought for a moment! !]

She looked at Luffy and said, "I can tell you everything I think, but before that, can I ask you a question???"

"Alright, we don't have anything urgent to do right now anyway, so go ahead!" Luffy gestured for permission.

Princess Vivi said, "Did you really kill those people from Walpo because they killed civilians and became pirates?"

【"Yes."】

[This question doesn't need to be answered, so Nami gave Princess Vivi a direct affirmative answer.]

Princess Vivi felt a little relieved after hearing this answer, so she asked, "Okay! Then the reason you didn't kill Crocodile was because he was helping Alaba..."

"We agreed to only ask one question!" Luffy interrupted Vivi, annoyed. "Little sister, don't get it wrong, we're not really interested in your story! If you want to tell me, tell me. If not, don't keep me in suspense~~~"

【"ah......"】

Princess Weiwei suddenly realized she had committed a serious offense. She looked embarrassed and said nervously, "I'm... I'm sorry..."

"Ahahaha~~~, don't be afraid, he's... a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart!"

Nami smiled cheerfully, put her arm around Princess Vivi's shoulders, and said, "Tell me, what's going on? But... let me be clear, we're just listening to your story, we can't promise to help you or anything~~~"

Princess Weiwei nodded.

【Then..., she began to tell the story...】

[The story begins about two years ago, when the rain stopped in all areas of Alabasta except the capital. Then, the incident with the dancing powder occurred, and then she joined Baroque Works to investigate the truth, and the clues she recently found...]

After hearing Princess Vivi's story, Chopper's eyes widened. "What? That guy with the golden hook turned out to be a villain!!!"

"Damn bastard!!! No wonder I always find him so annoying~~~" Nami said angrily, waving her fist.

[Seeing Chopper and Nami's reactions, Princess Vivi feels hopeful...]

She suddenly knelt before Luffy and Nami, "Please help this country! Even if I find out that Crocodile is the mastermind behind this, no one in our country can defeat him... and the Navy can't help us against the Shichibukai... You are so powerful. If you are willing to help this country, we can pay you!"

【"How many?"】

[Nami's eyes suddenly lit up~]

【Boom~】

[Luffy reached out and tapped Nami's head lightly! !]

[Nami loves money, Luffy loves money even more! ! ]

[But as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way!!!]

[Luffy wouldn't just blindly serve as someone else's thug without asking any questions...]

[To be honest, Luffy has only encountered two royal families since he was a child~~~]

[One is the royal family of the East Sea Goa Kingdom~~~]

[The other one is that Walpo of the Iron Bucket Kingdom is confused~~~]

[No matter which royal family it is, Luffy has a very bad impression of them...]

[It can even be said to be very bad! ! ! ]

After they arrived at the Rapeseed Flower City in the Kingdom of Alabasta, they witnessed Crocodile taking care of the pirates and rescuing the civilians.

[I also saw with my own eyes how much the people here loved and respected Crocodile...]

[At least judging from Luffy's first impression, the royal family of the Kingdom of Alabasta is not a good thing~]

[And now, this little girl in front of me claims to be the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and even calls Crocodile a despicable and shameless bastard! ! ! ]

[This kind of thing... I'm afraid only a hot-blooded child would easily believe it!!!]

[Of course..., it is precisely because of what Princess Vivi just said that Luffy also began to doubt Crocodile~~~]

[In short..., judging by the current situation, there's no absolute proof that Crocodile is a bad guy, nor is there absolute proof that the princess in front of me is lying~~~]

Luffy then slowly said, "Let's not talk about money for now. If you really want my help...! Tomorrow at this time and place, bring me all the information you have about Baroque Works."

[After saying that, Luffy didn't stop. He picked up Chopper with one hand and Nami with the other, and disappeared into the alley in a flash~~~]

The next day, Princess Vivi arrived as promised. After Luffy got the information, he didn't make any promises or guarantees to Princess Vivi and left without any hesitation.

[Merry~~~]

[In the dining room and conference room cabin...]

[All of Baroque Works' materials were spread out on the table!]

Zoro said, "Although I've come into contact with Baroque Studios before, I only encountered their billions of messengers!! If we're only talking about this part of the information, the information provided here is indeed consistent with what I know."

"This Baroque Studio is definitely not a good place! According to the information provided by that girl, the senior agents Mr. 3, Mr. 4, Mr. 5, Ms. Golden Week, Ms. Christmas, and Ms. Valentine can all be found in the wanted list. Even their names are confirmed."

"As for the agents above them, the information only contains code names, no photos, so their true identities cannot be confirmed. However, judging by this situation, they must also have bounties on their heads!!"

Nami spent several hours reviewing the bounty order, comparing it with the intelligence provided by Princess Vivi, and made an analysis.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go help the poor little princess!"

[When Sanji heard this, hearts suddenly filled his eyes and he raised his hands and started spinning around, as if he was going to become a prince consort soon...]

"Idiot, calm down!"

[Nami raised her head, and her fist covered in Armament Haki landed on Sanji's head~]

Then, she looked at Luffy and said, "Luffy, what do you think..."

Luffy glanced at the information on MS All Sunday. He pointed at the codename "MS All Sunday" and said, "This person is very interesting..."

"Interesting?" Usopp scratched his head, looking confused.

Zoro was also puzzled: "This person's information only has a code name, and the rest is all blank! How do you find it interesting???"

Sanji is overjoyed: "I know!! Because this MS is all female all Sundays!!"

【duang！ ！】Search

[Nami's Armament Haki 867 punch immediately calmed Sanji down again...]

Luffy explained, "Although there's no photo or much information about this person, from the clues and intelligence provided by the girl who calls herself Princess Vivi, if we carefully consider them, we can infer... that almost all of the important clues Princess Vivi found came from this MS All Sunday."

Nefertari Vivi: "Oh my god...!! What's wrong with Red Luffy's head...? He actually knew this from the information I provided!!!"

Nico Robin: "His guess is absolutely correct..."

Gion: "Scary guy..."

[After listening to Luffy's analysis, all the friends understood~~~] 4

"So... this MS Quan Sunday isn't on the same page with Mr. Zero?" Nami frowned slightly and looked at Luffy.

Luffy nodded: "At least from the current situation, that's the case. Of course... it's also possible that this MS Quan Sunday is Princess Vivi's man, and she hasn't revealed everything to us."

"Also, regarding her speculation that Mr. 0 is Crocodile, it does seem very likely, but... I can't make a definitive conclusion about Crocodile just because it's a possibility."

At this point, Buggy laughed out loud: "Are you talking about this Crocodile? He used to hang out in the New World, but then, for some reason, he joined the Shichibukai and stayed in the first half of the Grand Line~~~"

"Although I don't know what kind of person he is now, but from what I knew about him before, he was a very scheming and manipulative person!!!"

["Strategies and tactics..." Hearing this, Luffy frowned slightly and thought for a moment~~~]

He rubbed his chin. "It seems that what Princess Weiwei said is more likely..."

Because of Buggy's words, Luffy's trust shifted from Crocodile to Princess Vivi.

"So what should we do now? How about we just go ask Crocodile?" Nami suggested.

[Nami had fought Crocodile yesterday and knew his strength, so she thought she could use force~~~]

【"No......!!"】

Luffy shook his head. He thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "I have a better idea. I can make the real culprit fall into my trap!"

"What method?"

[Everyone was stunned when they heard Luffy's words!!!]

[Can the person behind the scenes actually fall into the trap? ? ? ]

Luffy smiled slightly, took one of the documents to the middle of the table, and then pointed his finger at the paper.

Everyone looked over, and saw three words written where Luffy's finger was pointing...
