Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

...

Led by Icarus, Luffy and his crew headed to the banquet venue.

Meanwhile, the townspeople on the coast revealed sinister smiles.

"Hahaha! Those idiots, they fell for it so easily."

"I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"

"We really have to thank Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday! They brought us important guests!"

"That's right! Thank you both!"

Suddenly noticing Vivi and Mr. 9 walking behind Luffy and the others, the townspeople on the shore immediately called out enthusiastically.

"Mr. 9, Ms. Wednesday, thank you for bringing us such important guests."

"That's right, Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday, you are the heroes of our town, thank you!"

"thank you!"

Vivi and Mr. 9, who were following behind Luffy and the others, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing these words, and almost tripped and fell flat on their faces.

It's a done deal that Luffy and his crew will fight the people here, so nothing they say can change that.

Right now, all I'm thinking about is how to get out of this mess.

At night, the bright moon hangs high.

In a room.

Usopp, his face flushed, held a wine glass and struck a smug pose, boasting to the townspeople beside him.

"At this moment, I coolly said, 'Sea Kings, don't touch my companions.'"

Upon seeing this, several women nearby immediately screamed in ecstasy.

"Wow! Captain Usopp, how impressive!"

Zoro, on the other hand, was drinking with others, one cup after another.

Luffy kept eating meat and drinking wine non-stop.

The others were in a similar situation, happily drinking and chatting with the enthusiastic townspeople around them.

Chapter Sixty: If you need help, just ask! Vivi was in despair!

Whisky Hill, outside the banquet hall.

"The cactus rock dancing in the moonlight...you are as beautiful and charming as ever tonight."

Ikaram stood under the moonlight, admiring the moon and reciting poetry.

Behind him, nearly a hundred bounty hunters, armed with weapons, stood ready, their eyes revealing the excitement of about to catch their prey.

At that moment, a woman dressed as a nun, with a muscular body, pushed open the door of the banquet hall and said angrily through gritted teeth.

"Seriously, those guys can really eat and drink! They're about to finish our food."

"If you ask me, we should have just taken them out when we were at the port. Our town was already running out of food."

Hearing the voice, Icarum turned around and, after the nun approached, took out a wanted poster from his person and said.

"Ms. Monday, calm down."

"Look at this."

Ms. Monday leaned closer to look, her anger instantly turning into terror, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and she exclaimed in shock.

"Wh...what? 6...6000 million Berries?!"

"That straw hat kid has such a high bounty."

Icarum nodded.

"I've investigated thoroughly, and that straw hat kid is the pirate known as the 'Worst Rookie'."

"As long as we can capture him and hand him over to the government, we will not have to worry about food."

At this moment, the bounty hunters behind them were also eager to get started.

"This is the first time a pirate with a bounty of 6000 million Berries has caught such a big prey."

"If we catch Straw Hat Boy, our ranking at Baroque Works should rise quite a bit! Maybe even I can be promoted to a high-ranking agent with a number! How exciting! Hahaha..."

"In the end, we still have to thank Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday! They brought us back a great catch this time!"

"That's right! We really owe them a lot this time."

Icarum nodded in agreement as he listened to these people's words and addressed the crowd.

"Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday are currently inside getting the Straw Hat crew drunk with the other members. Once they come out, that's when we'll make our move."

...

Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall.

The lively and joyous banquet continued, but everyone's faces showed signs of intoxication, and they looked somewhat dazed.

Luffy remained seated on the ground, stuffing large mouthfuls of meat into his mouth.

Beside him, Vivi and Mr. 9 looked awkward and stiff, and they were constantly being thanked by the villagers, making them feel even more uncomfortable.

"Phew...I'm so full!"

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief and patted his round belly.

He then stood up from the ground.

Seeing Luffy stand up, the other Straw Hat crew members, who had been mingling with the people around them, instantly changed from their drunken state to serious expressions.

This sudden turn of events startled Vivi and Mr. 9; they knew that what was coming was finally about to happen.

The other unsuspecting "townspeople" were stunned for a moment upon seeing this scene, and then they all smiled and offered their advice.

"Hey! Swordsman, keep drinking!"

"That's right, don't go, Usopp! Everyone wants to hear your adventure stories!"

"Sanji-kun, come have another drink with me!"

...

Normally, these people might not be able to resist such temptation, but now that they know who these people are, they can take them all down in a few punches and kicks.

Luffy picked up the straw hat next to him, put it on his head, and then faced the main entrance, saying...

"Let's go!"

"They've been waiting for us outside for ages!"

...

The banquet hall doors were slowly pushed open, and yellow light spread out from the cracks, falling on the faces of Ikaram and nearly a hundred other bounty hunters.

Excitement and joy were evident on everyone's face.

"Have the Straw Hat crew finally gotten drunk? We're about to get that 6000 million Berry bounty."

"That's amazing, that's 6000 million Berries!"

"This is really exciting!"

"Eh?"

Their hopes and excitement vanished the moment they saw the figures emerge from the banquet hall, leaving them with nothing but confusion.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, seven figures stood side by side, their faces displaying ambiguous smiles.

Immediately, all the bounty hunters were dumbfounded.

After a moment of stunned silence, Icarum suddenly changed his expression and said with a smile.

"Distinguished guests, what brings you out here?"

"Let's go inside and continue the banquet!"

Luffy smiled, his gaze fixed on Icarus and the nearly one hundred bounty hunters behind him.

"Thank you for your hospitality, we enjoyed the meal very much."

"You've been so hospitable, we can't keep you waiting too long, can we?"

"The assassins of Baroque Works!"

When Luffy uttered his last words, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"What? How do you know who we are?"

"Impossible! Our studio is a secret organization, and our identities are kept hidden from the outside world. There's no way outsiders could recognize us."

"Could it be... Mr. 9 and Ms. Wednesday? They brought these people back. They must have betrayed us and told these people our identities."

“Those two... how dare they betray our Baroque Workshop! We will never let them get away with this.”

Speculation abounded in the arena, and in the end, everyone blamed Weiwei and her companion.

In fact, this was something that Weiwei and her partner had anticipated.

The moment their identities are exposed, if they cannot eliminate those who know them, there will only be one outcome: being hunted down by Baroque Works.

Because of the secrets of the Baroque Studio, it cannot be revealed.

Upon hearing these speculations, Icarum was stunned, his eyes filled with worry, and he murmured to himself.

"Princess Vivi..."

At that moment, the fury of the bounty hunters behind them was completely ignited, and everyone was filled with indignation.

“Those two traitors are inside. Let’s rush in and kill them.”

"Eliminate the entire Straw Hat crew, along with them."

"So what if the bounty is 6000 million Berries? Don't underestimate the power of Baroque Works."

"We have annihilated countless pirates so far. This cactus-shaped Whiskey Mountain is already covered with tombstone spikes. It seems that a few more tombstones will appear tonight."

As soon as the bounty hunters finished speaking, they roared wildly, drew their swords and guns, and charged towards Luffy and his crew.

However, at that moment, Ikaram, who was leading these people, suddenly turned around and stood in front of everyone.

His face was grim, his expression stern, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"I...I won't let you pass!"

This sudden turn of events stunned all the bounty hunters present, even Icarus's partner, Ms. Monday, looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. 8, what are you doing? Get out of our way!"

"That's right! Come with us and wipe out the Straw Hat crew and the traitor!"

"Could it be... that even Mr. 8 is going to betray us?"

Faced with the anger and doubts of all the bounty hunters, as well as Ms. Monday's concerns,

Icarum did not answer them, but suddenly shouted loudly into the banquet hall behind him.

"Princess Vivi, run away quickly!"

"I'll stop these people!"

In the banquet hall.

Weiwei was sitting inside, her mind a complete mess.

Suddenly hearing shouts from outside the door, Weiwei's body trembled, and worry appeared in her eyes. She quickly ran to the door.

Vivi cried out in alarm when she saw Icarus standing alone in front of a hundred bounty hunters.

"Icarim!!"

Meanwhile, everyone in the room was thinking about the way Icarus had called Vivi earlier.

The Straw Hat Pirates' side.

"Princess Vivi?! Is that Ms. Wednesday actually a princess?"
