Gathering

Two days later, Baltigo.

"Little Qiu attacked a Vice Admiral all by herself?"

Robin looked at the newspaper, his expression somewhat complicated. "And on land?"

"That's really impressive."

Sabo, standing not far away, said, "According to our information, he won after fighting Vice Admiral Garp. Vice Admiral Garp's moves were completely ineffective against him."

"Vice Admiral Garp is a famous swordsman; he's supposed to be able to cut through iron," Koala said from a short distance away. "And he's got Haki too. I really don't know how he won."

"He was able to kill Vice Admiral, so he must be very strong, and probably no less so than me."

Sabo stroked his chin and thought, "In the four years we've been apart, his strength has improved rapidly. Judging from his strength, the thing he wants us to help with shouldn't be too difficult."

Upon hearing this, Robin seemed to realize something and said, "He didn't tell us what he was going to do back then, and even if he had, we wouldn't have believed he could do it. His sudden attack on the Vice Admiral proves his strength, which is no less than Sabo's. Could this be a signal?"

Koala looked at the two of them and asked, "Isn't today June 1st?"

"That's right."

Sabo nodded, and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from afar, "Chief of Staff Sabo, there is information from Emil Island."

"Emil Island?"

Sabo and his two companions exchanged glances. Sure enough, killing the Vice Admiral was a signal.

The three of them immediately went over. Sabo glanced at Robin and said, "You come here."

"Good."

Robin took the phone and said softly, "Little Qiu, is that you?"

Sakura Kingdom.

"Alken and Lilia have been gone for a long time."

Dalton and Zala stood side by side, gazing out the window at the swirling snowflakes and the white blanket of snow. "This is the first time they've left at the same time."

"Yes, this mission is very important and very dangerous," Zala said softly.

Dalton asked, "Weren't you drafted?"

"No."

Zala looked at the baby in her arms and said with a smile, "I asked the president, but he said I didn't need to go. Even if I went, I might not be able to help. He told me to stay home and take care of the child."

Dalton laughed and said, "It must be because you just gave birth and became a mother."

Zala said, "He said that even if I went, I might not be able to help, so it would be better for me to stay here. If we fail, it will give the other members a way out."

Dalton said, "Your president is very considerate and has already thought of a way out for you."

That's what worries me.

Zala said softly, "He shouldn't have cared about these things, much less thought about a way out."

Alabasta.

"I'm sorry, Master, I may have something to do during this time and will not be able to learn swordsmanship from you."

In a luxurious room in Las Vegas, Vivi held Den Den Mushi and spoke apologetically into the receiver.

"What do you want?" Momousagi's voice came from the other end.

Vivi said, "During this time, I need to go to the Sakura Kingdom to discuss the second phase of cooperation on the medical center and the plan to open a hospital in Alabasta."

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing Vivi's words, Momousagi said with dissatisfaction, "Isn't there anyone else who can do it? You can't be the only one in Alabasta, can you? I think I told you not to get too distracted by other things."

Vivi immediately said, "Teacher Momousagi, it's just this one thing. The main issues are the cooperation with the Sakura Kingdom and the establishment of the medical center, which are all my responsibilities. It's not convenient to hand it over to someone else right now, so I have to handle it myself, but I don't think it will take long. Besides, I can still train even in the Sakura Kingdom."

"All right."

Momousagi said, "But I will go to Alabasta and wait for you to come back."

"Um?"

Vivi paused for a moment, then asked, "Teacher, are you coming over? But I can't greet you."

"It's okay if you're not here."

Momousagi asked with a smile, "Haven't you been watching the news?"

"News?"

Vivi was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and said, "Are you talking about the attack on the G2 branch by the Giant Beast the day before yesterday? Vice Admiral Garp was killed by the Giant Beast?"

Momousagi nodded and said, "It seems a bit unbelievable that only that Giant Beast appeared, fought with Vice Admiral Garp, and killed him."

Vivi asked worriedly, "So how does the Navy plan to respond?"

Momousagi said, "Things have gone a bit beyond expectations. Fleet Admiral Sengoku is furious, and Admiral Sakazuki is dealing with the matter."

Vivi then asked, "Will there be any problems in Alabasta?"

"Won't."

Momousagi said, "Didn't I tell you I was going to Alabasta? You can go to the Sakura Kingdom without worry. I'll stay here and protect you. Aokiji just told me that Alabasta is an attack point, so it's part of my mission too."

Vivi's face darkened upon hearing this, but she still said, "Alright, then Vice Admiral to Vice Momousagi."

"Leave it to me."

Momousagi smiled and said, "I'll probably arrive tomorrow morning, so you'd better come back soon."

"I will."

Vivi said seriously, and then hung up the phone.

"I have to go."

Vivi took a deep breath, hung the two knives on her waist, and then turned and walked outside.

"Let's go."

Vivi took a deep breath and spoke to the guards and Igaram standing outside the house.

"It's Princess Vivi."

Igaram bowed slightly, then followed Vivi as they walked away down the stairs.

Vivi and Igaram arrived at the first level of Las Vegas. Upon seeing her, the gamblers cheered, "Princess Vivi!"

"Princess Vivi".

Vivi was a familiar face to all the gamblers in the casino.

She is the Princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta and the owner of the Alaska Casino. She possesses the Sand-Sand Fruit, is skilled in swordsmanship, and has great strength.

Many people admire her, fear her, and envy her.

But she didn't know if she could ever come back.

Vivi shook her head, led Igaram out of the casino, arrived at the port, boarded a ship, and headed to the Sakura Kingdom.

She was led into the Sakura Kingdom by Dalton himself, but quietly left from the back of the castle and went to the coast behind it.

There is a submarine here, already prepared.

Vivi stepped onto the submarine, entered the cabin, and then the submarine sailed into the distance, arriving at Island Number Two.

Vivi landed on Island Number Two and walked in, where many people had already gathered.

President, Ace, Heckle, Cecilia, Perona, Mr. 2 Bon Clay.

Seeing Vivi, Xia Qiu nodded and said, "With Vivi here, everyone's here. Alken and Mr. Christmas sent a message saying their ship in the Sabaody Archipelago has been successfully coated. It's time to set off."

At this point, Xia Qiu revealed a sinister smile.

Let's journey together to the New World.
