Pirates: How Many Divisions Do the Five Elders Have? Sisters

Pulling Vivi, dressed as a shrine maiden, into a large circle, Ma Qiao pretended to form a few hand seals and shouted in a childish manner, "Secret Technique - Flying Thunder God: Second Step - Here we go!"

The so-called "Flying Thunder God: Second Step" is naturally an advancement of the ordinary Flying Raijin technique.

Simply put, it's Ryze's ultimate ability— Realm Warp —which has a longer range and greater carrying capacity than Flash.

"That uncle has so many secret techniques!"

Vivi couldn't help but think that she had been practicing—specifically, doing laundry, cooking, massaging backs, and rubbing legs—for several months, yet she hadn't shown any signs of progress. She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"If I ever found out you were lying to me, I'll make you eat my saliva for the rest of your life!"

Vivi bitterly plotted her revenge.

Suddenly, as Ma Qiao finished forming the hand seals, a burst of light flashed, Vivi felt as if she were in a dimensional space, with a strange flow of light rushing rapidly before her eyes.

After about a breath, everything immediately returned to normal.

Withered trees, bare stones, churning waves, and huge Karasu circling low overhead.

What appeared before Vivi was an extremely barren and desolate uninhabited island.

Well...

It can't be said that there was no one there.

The sound of footsteps echoed from the dead trees.

Immediately afterwards, a blurry figure slowly emerged from the light mist.

As if the eerie atmosphere wasn't enough, the figure also let out a soft "hohoho" laugh, like a female ghost.

"A ghost!"

Vivi watched this scene in horror.

From the thick fog, the woman with the sinister smile had revealed half of her body, and she looked even more terrifying.

It was a terrifying nun emitting an eerie green glow...

Ma Qiao, clutching his forehead and looking helpless, stepped forward, then with a swift movement, grabbed the terrifying nun and lifted her up.

"As expected of Cat Burglar, his acting skills are truly top-notch... tsk tsk tsk..."

"Just kidding, it's just a joke!"

Nami chuckled and put the Den Den Mushi that emitted the green light into her pocket.

Vivi was stunned. Without the lights and thick fog, there was no longer any terrifying nun in front of her. It was clearly a nun with a cute face!

As for her figure, it wasn't very clear because she was wearing a nun's habit.

As the saying goes, if you want to look good, wear mourning clothes.

Special clothing has always had a very significant effect on enhancing one's appearance.

The priestess Vivi and the nun Nami sized each other up, and a subtle electric current seemed to emanate from the air.

Who is this woman?

Ultimately, despite her young age, Vivi, who had the advantage of being the first to ask the question, did so first.

Well...

Ma Qiao flicked the dust off his hand. "She's my secretary, the kind of secretary who does all the work."

"Oh, so you're a maid, right?"

When Vivi heard that it was a servant, she felt much more at ease.

Although she was a very patriotic and compassionate princess, her subconscious still held onto certain ideas of class distinctions and hierarchy.

Or perhaps, faced with a threat, Vivi instinctively activated a part of her dormant Celestial Dragons genes.

She straightened her thin chest, about to reprimand the new maid, when a large hand pinched her cheek.

With one hand gripping Nami's collar and the other pinching Vivi's cheek, Ma Qiao said helplessly, "We still have important things to do. Your sisterly get-together can wait."

Sisters?

Nami's lips curled into a smile.

Vivi pouted.

This is a deserted island far from Whiskey Peak.

The Twitch was anchored nearby.

Loyal and reliable Root Division elites established reconnaissance posts around the island to ensure that no one would dare to approach it.

Of course, they wouldn't be allowed to know the more specific details.

When it comes to matters involving the Celestial Dragons, you can never be too careful.

Garen and Ma Qiao both used Ignite.

The raging fire instantly engulfed the piled-up corpses.

At the same time, the chanting of scriptures resounded from all four corners.

"Hallelujah... What is this? It's so hard to pronounce!"

"Sit down? Sit down? Is this the priestess's incantation?"

This was the first time Nami and Vivi had done something like this, and they stumbled over their lines, finding them quite difficult to understand.

If it were his past life, Ma Qiao would never have paid any attention to these gods and ghosts, especially the nonsense of Western religions.

But there's nothing we can do. In this pirate world, I don't know about anything else, but nuns really exist, and they have a huge influence in places like Elbaf.

Of course, the nuns in the pirate world are much like nuns in the real world—hypocritical and sanctimonious, spouting "kindness" while harboring only business acumen.

Having performed the ritual with completely insincere intentions, the fifty-odd corpses had already turned into a pile of ashes, which were then dispersed into the boundless sea by a sea breeze.

"Um, Miss Nami, aren't you scared when you see so many corpses?" Vivi asked quietly.

"Scared? Of course I'm scared! I've never done anything like this before, but..."

Nami gave a knowing smile. "Ma Qiao is always so reliable; we just need to trust him."

Vivi was stunned.

Has this woman actually come to this realization?

She said sincerely, "I see, I understand your feelings now. Even if it means being an enemy of the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons, you still want to be with me..."

"Yare yare~"

Nami waved her hand, "I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to... Celestial Dragons or something...???"

Nami's eyes suddenly widened. "Celestial Dragons? Celestial Dragons?"

During her recent journey, Nami crammed on her knowledge of the Grand Line.

Because Nami spent a long time with Tashigi, she gained far more information than she did with King Luffy.

Celestial Dragons, Celestial Dragons, Buster Call...

These were terms that Nami had never heard of before, but now she has a deep understanding of them.

Tashigi repeatedly warned Nami never, ever to oppose the Celestial Dragons, or else...

"Um... Mr. Ma Qiao, thank you for your continued care, but I suddenly remembered that the oranges back home are ripe, so... let's get some oil!"

As she spoke, Nami rolled up her skirt, and her legs transformed into wheels of fire.

Vivi lost count of how many times she had been moved by this awful old man today.

He would always eat the food he cooked with his own hands, no matter if it contained pebbles, dust, or even his own saliva...

What a big idiot!

Let's allow that secretary to exist for now. After all, the uncle seems quite busy lately and needs a maid's service...

But...

Miss. allsunday, this kind of dangerous woman must be kept at a close watch!

Having made up her mind, Vivi brushed aside her bangs and asked in as obedient a tone as possible, "Uncle, what did the president want to talk to you about this time? I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that your phone was a little loud..."

Who knows...

Ma Qiao shrugged. "Miss All Sunday invited us to the Rainbase. We'll probably only find out the specifics of our mission when we get there."

"Rainbase?"

Vivi frowned. "Isn't that the territory of Crocodile, Shichibukai?"

"Are you very familiar with Rainbase?" Ma Qiao asked with a smile.

Vivi immediately snapped out of her daze and quickly put on a sad expression, "My father is a gambling addict. He once lost a lot of money in the Rainbase..."
