Genetics, Bounties (4th Update)

"Don't worry too much."

Wang Yan gave her a half-smile, "Just tell me yes or no."

Upon hearing this, Queen Vivi clenched her teeth.

A few drops of sweat appeared on her forehead, as if she were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

After a long pause, Vivi clenched her fists, her eyes resolute and unwavering. "Yes! I want to see Robin! Without her, I might have died at the hands of that Red Hair devil long ago! I must see her one more time Dao Yi thank her!"

"Just a thank you?"

Wang Yan's expression was calm, but his tone was somewhat sarcastic. "It's not a difficult thing, I can do it."

"However, you share your dreams with me."

"These are the conditions for the contract to be fulfilled."

Hearing this, Queen Vivi felt even more that the other party was strange.

They don't want money, fame, power, or status, yet they want to share their dreams?

Even legendary demons wouldn't do such bizarre things!

After a moment's thought, she nodded and said, "My dream is for every citizen of Alabasta to live a happy and fulfilling life!"

Before ascending the throne, her dream was to become the world's number one conductor and the most elegant princess, but as time went by, everything changed.

She has matured now.

"That's not how it works."

Wang Yan shook his index finger. "Language is unreliable."

"You have to understand, what humans are best at is deceiving themselves."

Vivi was completely confused.

She couldn't understand what the other person was saying.

Wang Yan extended his finger, pressed it against Vivi's brow, and gently pulled it outwards.

Sizzle

A sphere emitting red and green light was drawn out.

"This is what you truly desire deep down."

Wang Yan's voice rang in her ears, but Vivi ignored it.

She gazed at the sphere of light with dreamy eyes. "So beautiful."

Vivi instinctively stretched out her ten fingers.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The ball of light disappeared back into her body.

The fog that had clouded her Mind Stone completely dissipated, and as if the sun had been seen through the clouds, Vivi saw her true self.

Yes...

She was never as great as her father.

She was just a girl who pursued romance.

Making the country prosperous and its residents healthy is just a responsibility, not her dream.

The queen's identity is a constraint, a shackle, a cage.

It's just not the real her.

"Please... take me to see Sister Robin."

This time, there was no trace of confusion in Vivi's words.

The Alabasta royal family, all those with the surname Nefertari, should have been "Celestial Dragons," the Celestial Dragons.

Even strictly tracing her family lineage, Vivi has some connection with the Celestial Dragons who live in Mary Geoise.

But her ancestors, for a willful reason, let their emotions completely suppress their reason, and without hesitation abandoned the high status that was within their grasp, and came to this remote and impoverished place to establish a desert kingdom.

The stubbornness and willfulness passed down through generations deep in her blood led Vivi to make a decision similar to that of her ancestors.

Three days later.

Ohara Islands.

Vivi became the fourth student at the Protagonist Academy.

"Teacher Robin."

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Robin was incredibly complex.

"You are the last student in the first class of the academy."

Robin, whose appearance has now returned to that of a twenty-year-old girl, has a calm expression.

She looked at Vivi, the girl she had rescued on a whim, and said in a Youyou voice, "Study hard, don't let yourself be left behind."

The identities of the four students at the Protagonist Academy are quite interesting.

A naval admiral, a transmigrator from another world, a member of the Shichibukai, and the queen of a great nation.

This made Robin somewhat look forward to their school trip.

Skypiea, the residence of the Four Emperors, the territory of the Shichibukai...

These are the "travel destinations" that Wang Yan once promised to visit.

Study tours extend one's life in terms of time and space, allowing participants to broaden their horizons and enrich their experiences.

As it stands, the four trainees will need at least two more months of study before they can meet the Dean's standards.

"Understood! I definitely won't let you down!"

Vivi blushed and said firmly.

Thus began her intense and well-organized academic career.

Enter the Learning Pod and absorb knowledge in a virtual life.

Awakening your dual-color Haki and open the Data panel.

Learning culinary skills, and successfully taking on the role of a zookeeper for the academy's teachers...

Here, Vivi is just an ordinary student, having lost her exalted status as queen.

But she smiled more often.

She loves her life now.

Alabasta lost their queen, but did not descend into chaos again.

A strange man named Charles Xavier took over the kingdom's government.

He showed no mercy to evil, but treated the people like Harusame.

While ruthless and tough, they also employ gentle methods.

The kingdom was well-managed, but he never claimed to be king, only referring to himself as the "Temporary Administrator of Alabasta".

His humility and prudence earned him the support of the people.

People never care who sits on the throne, nor do they care whether the person who controls the throne is named Nefertari.

They only care about their own basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

A ruler who can meet their demands is a qualified king.

At this moment, in the Yuba Desert.

Smoker, the White Hunter, hides in the shadow of a giant cactus.

His expression was blank, and his eyes were vacant.

The Queen's disappearance means that all the support she had promised has vanished.

Without sufficient troops to encircle and suppress them, it would be almost impossible to capture the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Straw Hat Pirates has become even more cunning than before.

Although none of them possessed the ability to use Armament Haki, that little guy named Naruto Uzumaki had actually learned to use Seastone to deal with them.

They were originally just a small pirate crew with a total bounty of no more than 100 Million Berries...

He never imagined that the other party would be so troublesome!

In the battle between the two sides, the Straw Hat Pirates handled the situation with ease, even managing to defeat many renowned pirates who had been famous for years, and their bounties were repeatedly broken.

A dazzling golden light approached from afar and quickly appeared in front of Smoker.

The other person had clear, sky- Weilan eyes, just like an ordinary young man.

He tossed over a sheepskin bag of water with a grin.

Snap!

Smoker grabbed the water sac with one hand and started gulping it down.

He didn't even have the desire to take action.

The opponent is Naruto Uzumaki the "Golden Army".

Anyone who dares to appear before him must be a fake. Even if he were to destroy it, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the real person.

"Don't run away if you've got the guts. Come here in your true form and fight me like a man!"

As soon as he said this, Smoker suddenly noticed that the way the other person looked at him was different from before.

It was no longer the gaze that mixed admiration and hostility it had before.

Rather, it is a kind of...

Mercy?

Smoker gritted his teeth, pressed his hands against his knees, and used them to support himself as he stood up.

His body transformed into smoke, ready to launch an attack on the opponent.

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly threw two posters at him.

"What is that?"

Smoker stared intently.

Those were two bounty posters.

[Smoker, the White Hunter.]

[Bounty: 130 Million Berries.]

[Ability: Devil Fruit User the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.]

[Crimes: Former Navy Colonel, betrayed his sense of justice under the influence of pirates, and conspired with the Straw Hat Pirates to attack Celestial Dragons noble. Although the situation was not irreversible, his actions were utterly heinous!]

Beside her was Tashigi's 30 million bounty, for allegedly colluding with Smoker to attack nobles.

"How is that possible?"

Smoker's pupils contracted to the size of wheat awns, and the water he had just drunk turned into a cold sweat.

His short hair stood on end, and a chilling aura emanated from him, penetrating to the bone.

The scorching sun couldn't warm Smoker in the slightest.
