Zala

At dawn, as the sun rose, its rays pierced through the clouds and spread outwards, covering the surrounding sea.

On the tranquil sea, a figure sails in a boat toward a distant island.

At the bow of the ship stood a figure with fluffy blue hair, a sexy body, and full breasts covered in brown underwear.

She stood there, looking at the distant island, somewhat puzzled.

The island, located near Alabasta, is deserted and has been searched by the navy several times without any results.

But how could Robin have broken through the Navy's search and reached this island, and how did she manage to call me to come to this island to meet her?

Missdoublefinger couldn't understand it. The ship slowly approached the shore. She left the bounty hunter, disguised as a fisherman, to wait there, and then she leaped off the ship and jumped onto the shore.

Before her lay a dense forest. She walked into the forest and continued deeper into it.

"The meeting place is deep in the woods."

Zala, still thinking about the phone call from Robin, continued to delve deeper.

After walking for a while, she entered an open space where a huge creature appeared.

"It's Robin's Giant Beast."

Zala stopped and looked around, searching for Robin's whereabouts, but found nothing.

Where is your master?

Zala looked at the Giant Beast and asked curiously.

"You mean Robin?"

The Giant Beast slowly spoke, "She is not my master?"

"Isn't she your master?"

Zala answered instinctively, then froze, staring blankly at the Giant Beast, and asked, "You... you can talk?"

"This is not a difficult task."

Xia Qiu looked at the figure in front of him and said, "There's no need to make such a fuss."

Zala stared at Xia Qiu, her mouth agape, and asked, "What exactly happened? Why isn't Robin here?"

Xia Qiu looked at her and said, "Robin is wanted by the authorities and cannot come here."

"So you're here in her place?" Zala asked Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu said, "That's right, I called you here because there's something I need to do."

"What's wrong?" Zala asked curiously.

Xia Qiu looked at the other person and said, "As you know, Robin is now wanted and his identity has been exposed. He is no longer suitable to be the Vice President of Baroque Works."

"What do you mean?" Zala looked at Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu grinned and said, "So I'm planning to make you the Vice President of Baroque Works. What do you think?"

"Me, the Vice President?"

Zala frowned, then realized something. "You said you plan to make me the Vice President? Wait, why do you have that authority?"

After asking the question, Zala's face turned terrifying, and she said, "No, impossible."

Xia Qiu snorted and asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Zala said in disbelief, "You're Mr. 0? Mr. 0 isn't human, he's a Giant Beast?"

Xia Qiu looked at Zala and replied, "It seems like no one has ever said that Mr. 0 is a human, right?"

You're right.

Zala Satori, and then said, "No wonder Mr. 0 never appears in front of everyone. Apart from the Vice President, no one has ever known his identity. It turns out that Mr. 0 is a Giant Beast. Moreover, Robin has been traveling with you ever since she became the Vice President. It is said that you were the one who killed Crocodile."

"So now you know."

Xia Qiu made a rumbling sound, but inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. "Quite the imagination, isn't it? I don't need to explain anymore."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

Zala was still somewhat unable to accept it, staring blankly at Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu looked at her and asked softly, "So what's your opinion? Would you be willing to become the Vice President of Baroque Works and be my partner?"

"I..."

Zala hesitated, the truth so shocking that she found it difficult to think about what to do next.

Xia Qiu asked, "What are you worried about? What difference does it make whether I'm human or not? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust yourself?"

"I... I don't distrust you."

Zala shook her head and said that this Giant Beast was powerful enough to kill Crocodile, sink a naval warship, and kill a Commodore and a colonel.

Such strength is beyond doubt, and his identity as Giant Beast is actually the best cover-up.

Even if the Navy is chasing Robin and Robin can't come here, he can still cross the ocean to meet him.

As for herself, Zala believed that her abilities were more than enough to become the Vice President.

Moreover, whether he is human or not is indeed not in question.

It is precisely because he is not human and cannot be seen by others that the position of Vice President is so precious.

In a sense, the Vice President represents Baroque Works.

Zala seemed somewhat tempted, and then Xia Qiu said, "Do you remember the purpose of Baroque Works?"

"You mean the goal is to establish an ideal state?"

Zala looked at Xia Qiu and realized something. "You want to rule a country and have people serve you? But to be honest, it's impossible for Giant Beast to become the ruler of a country. The people will not agree to it."

Xia Qiu laughed and said, "Who said I want to be a ruler? I can exist as a protector of the country, as long as I can get what I want. As for who the ruler is, I don't care."

"That means..."

Zala stared blankly at Xia Qiu and asked, "Anyone could be."

Xia Qiu nodded and said, "Of course, even if you don't become the ruler, I think your position as the Vice President will not be low in the future."

Zala's eyes lit up, and Xia Qiu looked at her and asked, "Would you be willing to become my partner?"

These assassins and bounty hunters gathered together and joined Baroque Works because they were willing to hand over their earnings to the Baroque Works.

It was because of the Utopia project that we aimed to build an ideal nation and become a part of it.

In the ideal state, positions are determined by ranking; the higher the ranking, the higher the position.

The Vice President is the highest position in Baroque Works besides the president.

Zala nodded and said, "I do."

Xia Qiu smiled and said, "That's great. From now on, you will be my contact person."

"I will do my best," Zala said earnestly.

Xia Qiu added, "But you must remember, no one knows my true identity except you. So you have to tell them."

"Don't worry, I'll remember that," Zala said with a smile.

Xia Qiu nodded and said, "Robin has already informed the other Senior Agent of your information, and now everyone knows that the Vice President's position has changed. Next, you will contact them in my stead, but before that, we need to wait for someone. Before he arrives, have your men leave."

"Good."

Zala ordered his men to sail away, leaving one of them behind.

In the afternoon, a figure walked into the depths of the woods. Upon seeing Zala, the figure's eyes widened. "You, you're Miss Doublefinger?"

Zala works as a waitress at the Spider Cafe, which is the headquarters of the Baroque Works.

Most people thought that Zala was just a waitress.

Zala laughed and said, "Bon Clay, that's right, I am Miss Doublefinger."

"Is that so? I've seen you many times, but I thought you were just an ordinary person."

Mr. 2 Bon Clay walked into the room, looked at Zala, and said, "Robin told me that from now on, you are the Vice President of Baroque Works. The submarine is also yours."

"Good."

Zala and Xia Qiu followed Mr. 2 Bon Clay to the shore, where a peculiar pink boat was moored, floating on the water with a deck, small rooms, two masts, and sails.

The structure above resembles that of a ship's deck, but the structure below is that of a submarine.

It can navigate both on the surface and underwater.

"Come with me."

Mr. 2 Bon Clay took Zala inside the submarine for a tour.

Half an hour later, the two finally came out. Mr. 2 Bon Clay left the submarine, boarded another pirate ship, and waved his hands, saying, "Miss Double Finger, you'll have to come and play with me sometime."

Goodbye, Bon Clay.

Zala waved to Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and after watching him leave, Zala jumped off the boat and walked over to Xia Qiu, saying, "This submarine can accommodate twelve people and has a special oxygen generator, allowing it to operate underwater for extended periods. There are air intakes in the mast; you only need to expose part of the mast underwater to draw in air. There are four trained crew members inside who can assist with steering."

Xia Qiu nodded and then asked, "What powers and fuels the ship to move underwater?"

"Cola."

Zala said with a strange expression, "Using a propeller to propel it underwater, fueled by cola, and without the aid of wind, it can travel at a low speed with a bucket of cola for eight hours."

"Cola?"

Xia Qiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know who built this submarine?"

Zala said, "No one could have built this submarine, but a guy named Franky thought it was interesting, so he built it based on Vegapunk's idea."

"I see."

Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Then come on board and come with me."

"Good."

Zala boarded the submarine, furled the sails, and then the submarine slowly sank, following Xia Qiu as it headed into the distance.
