Chapter 622

Tashigi pointed at Chen Fan in disbelief, wanting to speak, but could only open her mouth without knowing what to say;

"Tashigi, do you need Devil Fruit?" Chen Fan suddenly looked at Tashigi and asked Tashigi.

Tashigi pointed to herself, surprised that Chen Fan would give her something so precious. But she quickly shook her head; as a swordsman, she wouldn't consume Devil Fruit.

Seeing that Nami and Tashigi didn't need it, Chen Fan decided to leave it at that. He'd give Nami a better Devil Fruit later, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from Sky Island. If he had time, he'd teach them the Silent Step, since Nami and Tashigi needed to have the ability to escape. Chen Fan Devil Fruit into energy and stored them in his Energy Token.

Several people watched helplessly as Chen Fan made the Devil Fruit disappear, and each of them wore a look of regret. Devil Fruit were like legendary objects, and some people even regarded Devil Fruit User as monsters. But only those who had experienced the loss of power knew how precious Devil Fruit were and how much they longed for Devil Fruit.

"Mr. Chen Fan! Please save my country! My country has been occupied by a man who is plotting against the entire Alabasta Kingdom. He is manipulating the lives of millions of people in the kingdom." Vivi knelt before Chen Fan and pleaded.

"Why don't you ask the Navy for help if you need it?" Tashigi said.

Nami pouted and said, "Because the Navy can't be trusted!" Because her hometown Cocoyasi Village, was a place where pirates colluded with the government;

"Because there is no concrete evidence, and this person is Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, who is also the owner behind Baroque Works," Igram said, having just been injured in his battle with Mr. 5.

"How is this possible! Crocodile..." Tashigi said in disbelief;

"What Great Pirate, openly colluding with the government!" Nami exclaimed.

"What should we do?" Nami and Tashigi both turned their gazes to Chen Fan;

Chen Fan stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and smiled, saying, "Crocodile? Then let's go meet him. Besides, I can't ignore the request from such a beautiful girl."

"Really?! Thank you! Thank you so much, Mr. Chen Fan! Thank you! Thank you everyone!" Vivi burst into tears of joy, repeatedly thanking Chen Fan.

Nami helped Vivi up. Since Chen Fan had made his decision, they had no choice but to do it this way. Besides, Vivi's background reminded her of herself, and it would be good if she could help Vivi.

(Chapter 163 Nicole Robin)

Chen Fan agreed to help, Igram suggested splitting up. He would pretend to be Princess Vivi to lure away the pursuers, allowing Chen Fan to take Vivi along a safer route to Alabasta. Clearly, Igram didn't trust Chen Fan's abilities. However, this wasn't unreasonable; Chen Fan only had a bounty of 100 million Beli. Perhaps he had committed some heinous crime, most likely kidnapping the daughter of a high-ranking naval officer—just look at Tashigi, someone has the truth.

Vivi and Igram didn't know Chen Fan's exact strength, but the strength of the Shichibukai was incomparable to that of ordinary pirates. Compared to someone as unreliable as Chen Fan, the Shichibukai seemed to have much greater strength and influence.

However, Chen Fan rejected Igram's proposal. Protecting Princess Vivi was one aspect, but Chen Fan's other goal was also clear: to obtain the Devil Fruit of those pursuers. There was no quicker way than that, was there? Moreover, Chen Fan was also very interested in Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit, one of the Shichibukai, a Logia Devil Fruit.

After the ship set sail, Chen Fan and the other two went to their cabins to sleep. They hadn't slept well the night before, and getting a good night's rest was the most important thing to do right now.

Guided by the Eternal Pose, the ship sailed towards the Alabasta Kingdom. Chen Fan and the others slept soundly, but Vivi and Igram were wide awake, standing on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and watching the waves rise and fall on the horizon.

"Princess, can this Chen Fan really defeat the Crocodile?" Igram asked Vivi. He had only known Chen Fan for a very short time, and MR5 and Ms. Valentine weren't top-tier fighters in Baroque Works. Even if Chen Fan defeated them, it wouldn't prove anything.

Looking at the sun gradually rising over the sea, Vivi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Mr. Chen Fan is a somewhat unbelievable person. Since he agreed to help, Mr. Chen Fan must have his own reasons. I believe him." Vivi remembered how Chen Fan had punched such a large whale into the sea, which was not something an ordinary person could do. She felt that if she didn't speak up, she might never have the chance to say it again.

Suddenly, a woman's teasing voice rang out, "Oh...! Princess Vivi seems to have found a powerful ally!"

Vivi and Igram were startled and looked up to see a woman sitting on the second-floor railing, resting her chin on her hand and watching Vivi and Igram with amusement. With her healthy wheat-colored skin and long black hair, she was none other than Nico Robin, now known at Baroque Works as Ms. All Sunday, the Supreme Commander of Baroque Works.

Vivi and Igram's expressions changed, and they shouted at the newly appeared woman, "Ms. All Sunday! What are you doing here!"

"Why can't I be here, Princess Vivi!"

"You're the one who told the boss who we were, right?!" Vivi shouted.

Robin chuckled and said, "I couldn't help but help you out because I saw how hard you were working. You should thank me properly. If you hadn't been following me, you wouldn't even know who Baroque Boss is."
