Nefertari Vivi

In Alabasta, in the Aru-Ma City, a dozen pirates stood arrogantly at the city entrance, surrounded by four or five guards and three or four soldiers.

Besides, a circle of soldiers and guards surrounded them, but no one made a move; they simply waited quietly.

"Hurry up and bring out the food and water, and prepare 100 million Belly, or I will kill you one by one."

The pirate captain shouted loudly, slamming his Spiked Club hard onto the ground.

boom.

A large crater appeared in the ground, and cracks spread outwards into the distance.

"Give me..."

Just as the pirate leader was about to speak, countless grains of sand suddenly rose from the pit, transforming into a sand blade that sliced across his body.

puff.

The pirate captain froze, a huge wound left where the sand had grazed his body, revealing his internal organs clearly.

"What... what is this?"

He froze, staring into the distance, where he saw a figure walking towards him.

This is a blue-haired girl wearing a pink cloak and a white robe. Her left arm is missing, and her right arm has a gold ring.

She walked this way, and as she moved forward, the sand flew back and turned into a white arm.

"Princess Vivi".

Upon seeing the newcomer, the soldiers made way, and Vivi walked in slowly.

"Princess?"

The pirate captain, bleeding profusely, used his Spiked Club to support himself as he looked at her, shaking his increasingly dizzy head in an attempt to see more clearly.

"Not dead yet?"

When Vivi saw that he was still standing there, she suddenly waved her arms, which turned into sandstorms, forming two huge circles that floated in front of her.

"The Death Sand Wheel".

Vivi softly uttered four words, and the two circles suddenly began to spin, heading towards the pirates.

No, don't.

Some pirates saw the sand coming and their faces showed fear.

"Break it open for me."

A pirate drew his long sword and slashed at the sand.

But it was no use. The two grinding wheels sliced through the pirates' bodies, and they collapsed to the ground, their bodies covered in huge wounds.

"Sigh, that guy Heckle went back, and then left for Mr. Christmas vacation. The rest of us are no match for him, so I have to take action myself."

Vivi shook her head helplessly, looked at the Baroque Works members in the distance, and said, "You guys handle this."

After leaving those words behind, Vivi's lower body transformed into a whirlwind of sand, soaring into the sky.

"They dealt with the pirates so easily."

"Princess Vivi is amazing."

"Long live Vivi!"

The surrounding residents couldn't help but celebrate, and even the soldiers' eyes were filled with respect.

Vivi returned to the casino and fell directly from above it. The sand turned back into her legs, and even her shoes were restored to their original state.

It took her a long time to assimilate her clothes. (You can see that when Logia Devil Fruit User transform into natural elements, their clothes are perfectly intact when they transform back. Even weaker users can do this; it can only be explained as assimilation.)

Vivi stepped onto the roof of the casino and descended the spiral staircase. Someone saw her and immediately called out respectfully, "Princess Vivi."

Vivi nodded gently, walked past them, pushed open the door not far away, and went inside.

Inside was a luxurious office with sofas, coffee tables, desks, bookshelves, and lavish decorations.

Vivi took off her cloak and hung it on the clothes rack, then walked to the door next to her room, pushed it open, and went inside.

This is a spacious bedroom with a floor-to-ceiling window that can be opened and is draped with purple curtains. In the center is a large bed with a white gauze canopy, and in the corner there are green plants that exude a vibrant greenery.

The dressing table, mirror, wardrobe, and small sofa are all provided.

There's a small door next to it, leading to the toilet and restroom.

This is where Vivi lives in Alabasta. She decided to take charge of liaising with the Baroque Works and decided to stay in the casino. She originally only wanted to prepare one room, but she ended up building such a luxurious residence, which is no less than her residence in Alabasta.

For Vivi, who had lived in a dilapidated house at the Baroque Works for some time, this place was somewhat luxurious.

But after only a few days, I fell in love with the place.

Vivi placed the gold ring on the dressing table, rubbed her wrist, and walked towards the bathroom.

After leaving the restroom, Vivi went to the outside office, sat down at the desk, and began to work on the documents.

But then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Vivi called out, the door opened, and a figure walked into the room.

"Heckle? You're back?"

Vivi was somewhat surprised to see Heckle. Her gaze fell on him, and she asked, "Are you injured?"

"It's just a minor injury."

Heckle walked to the table, looked at Vivi, and said, "There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"What's wrong?" Vivi asked curiously.

Heckle replied, "Our president wants to meet with you."

"President?"

Upon hearing this, Vivi asked in surprise, "The president wants to see me?"

"That's right."

Heckle nodded and said, "The Vice President asked me to come and inform you that you would like to meet with the president."

"Why would your club president want to see me?" Vivi frowned. "And isn't it only the Vice President who knows what he looks like?"

"He didn't say exactly what he was going to do," Heckle said. "He just said it would only do you good, not bad."

"I see."

Vivi frowned, lost in thought.

We're currently cooperating and getting along well, so it's impossible for him to make a move against me.

Moreover, since it can fly, it can leave calmly even if it encounters danger.

If the opponent's strength is enough to disregard one's own abilities, then they can kill one at any time.

Since he said there were only benefits, the possibility that he would seek out or harm himself is very low.

Vivi nodded and said, "I'm willing to meet him."

"Alright, then Princess Vivi, please come with me."

Heckle immediately stood up and walked outside, waiting at the door.

Vivi picked up her cloak, fastened it, and followed Heckle out of the casino, to the shore, where they boarded a ship.

The ship sailed into the distance and soon arrived at an island.

"Is this the headquarters of Baroque Works? It's so close to Alabasta."

Looking at the island in front of her, Vivi said with some surprise.

"It's just one of our outposts."

"The Vice President comes here occasionally, and there are Hundred Million Elder on standby, but they usually live in houses near the coast," Heckle said.

"That makes sense..."

Vivi nodded. The president of Baroque Works was incredibly mysterious; how could he be discovered so easily?

"This way."

Heckle led Vivi deeper into the woods, where they encountered Zala.

"Princess Vivi".

Zala greeted him with a smile, then looked at Heckle and said, "Thank you for bringing Princess Vivi here. You can go back now."

"Yes."

Heckle turned and left, disappearing into the distance.

"Come with me."

Zala led Vivi into the house, to the back courtyard wall, opened the door, and said, "The president is inside. Please go in."

"Good."

Vivi walked into the courtyard and immediately saw a Giant Beast lying there.

"Robin's Giant Beast?"

Looking at the enormous Giant Beast, Vivi wasn't worried that it could hurt her. "Or rather, what kind of Giant Beast is Mr. 0?"

Vivi thought to herself, looking around, feeling a little strange.

The president wants to see me, but where is he? There's no one else here but me.

"What are you looking for, Princess Vivi?" Xia Qiu asked softly, looking at Vivi.

"Where's the president? Didn't you say the president wanted to see me?"

Vivi answered instinctively, but froze the next moment, staring at the Giant Beast in front of her, and asked in surprise, "You can talk?"

"Of course," Xia Qiu said softly.

"A talking Giant Beast?"

Vivi stared wide-eyed at Xia Qiu and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen this."

"But what about the president?"

Vivi looked around and asked, "Wasn't the president supposed to see me? Where is he?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu softly replied, "I'm right in front of you!"

"Wait, you said you're the president of Baroque Works?"

Upon hearing this, Vivi froze on the spot and couldn't help but shake her head, saying, "Impossible, this is impossible, I must have misheard."

The president of Baroque Works is not human, but a ferocious beast. How is that possible?

You heard me right.

Xia Qiu looked at her indifferently and said in a loud voice, "I am the president of Baroque Works. You can call me Mr. 0."
