Chapter 145

Kuro adjusted his glasses, his expression utterly rational. "They were both very lucky; their lives weren't meant to end there."

"If they hadn't run into us, they would probably have drowned at sea; there was no other possibility."

Van Augur nodded slightly, his face expressionless. "This is their fate."

At this moment, Baccarat turned to look at the two of them, beckoned them over, and said gently and gracefully, "Hurry up and swim over here, don't just stay in the water."

Upon hearing this, Mr. 9 and Princess Vivi's eyes immediately lit up, their faces beaming with excitement.

"Thank you, thank you all..."

Reiju tossed her pink hair and said with a smile, "We'll have to ask them about their relationship later. If they're a couple, then this woman can't stay."

"After all, someone as outstanding as Chris shouldn't have a woman with a blemish on her record."

Carmen shrugged and casually remarked, "I don't think it's that kind of relationship. The way they acted doesn't seem intimate at all."

At this moment, Mr. 9 and Princess Vivi arrived in front of the Chris and soon appeared on the deck.

"Thank you so much!"

The two bowed deeply to Baccarat, their voices filled with gratitude, showing their sincere appreciation.

Baccarat waved her hand slightly, smiled, and said, "No need to be so polite, it's nothing."

"Alright, pretty girl, come with us, let's go inside and have a chat."

Carina sized up Princess Vivi, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes, and smacked, "She looks so pretty. She'll definitely be stunningly beautiful when she grows up."

Perona floated through the air, emitting a silvery laugh, and said something.

"Yes, yes, so beautiful! I love it! Hahahahaha..."

Hearing their praise, Princess Vivi felt a little embarrassed, brushed a strand of blue hair from her forehead, and quickly spoke up.

"Sisters, you are the prettiest ones! I can't compare to you at all. You flatter me."

Looking at Baccarat with her beautiful eyes, she pleaded, "Sisters, he's my partner. Please don't hold it against him, I beg you all."

She has a very Gentle and kind personality; she is a very virtuous and ladylike woman.

Although she was undercover at Baroque Works, her character remained unaffected; she was still kind, understanding, generous, and dignified.

What a good girl!!

Please take good care of me.

Mr. 9 bowed deeply to everyone, his attitude incredibly humble, and said, "We'll leave as soon as we reach the next Island. Thank you all."

Reiju looked at Princess Vivi and said with a smile, "It's alright, don't worry."

"Let's not stand here anymore. Come inside and sit down so we can get to know each other."

Princess Vivi dared not refuse; after all, the person was trying to help out of kindness, and she had to agree to this small request.

"Great! You ladies are all so beautiful, I was just thinking of chatting with you all."

Then, the women chatted and laughed as they walked towards the Training Room.

Apis sat by the railing, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously, "Have we got any new crew members on our ship?"

Pato pulled up her fishing rod and said with a grin, "Who knows? Anyway, it's none of our business. Fishing is the best thing ever, hehe~~"

"Hello..."

Burgess brandished his fist, threatening Mr. 9, "Even though Baccarat let you up here, you'd better behave, you hear me?"

"Damn it, seeing you dressed like a prince makes me really want to punch you."

Doc Q leaned back in his recliner, a mysterious smile on his face. "Why hold back? It'd be so much easier to just kill him."

Gin, Cultivation his Armament Haki, said coldly, "This ship isn't one that just anyone can board."

"Stay out of the way and don't say a word, or you'll get slaughtered and nobody will sympathize with you."

Lafitte looked at Mr. 9, smiled slightly, and, as polite as ever, said something.

"Don't worry, just stay put and watch quietly, no one will do anything to you."

"We'll let you go when we reach the next Island."

Mr. 9, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, I'll be quiet."

After saying that, he quickly walked to a corner and hid far away.

He was genuinely terrified of these people. They were all so ruthless, always ready to kill him to silence him; it was truly frightening.

Mr. 9 had no doubt that if he dared to speak up, these people would definitely kill him; there was no other possibility.

He really wanted to ask who these people were and why they were so cold and heartless. But he didn't dare, and could only remain silent, keeping the questions to himself...

Inside the Training Room.

With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened, and the women entered one after another.

The first thing I saw was a large group of women, and every single one of them was beautiful.

"This..."

Princess Vivi was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. She was truly shocked.

What's going on? How can there be so many beautiful women?

"Don't be surprised, you'll be one of them someday, hahaha~~"

Carina patted her shoulder, her beautiful eyes gleaming with mischief, and said with a smile.

Alvida stopped her Cultivation, looked Princess Vivi up and down, nodded, and smiled gently, saying, "Very good, indeed a great beauty."

Honey Queen wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and smiled in agreement, "She's already this pretty now, imagine how beautiful she'll be when she grows up!"

"Chris, we have a new guy. Aren't you going to take a look?" Belo Betty took a drag of her cigarette and called out to the man.

Chris ignored him, not even turning his head, and continued to wield the Blood Red Saber with great focus and concentration.

Seeing his appearance, the women exchanged glances, shook their heads, and looked quite helpless.

"Forget it, that's just how he is, let's just ignore him," Carmen waved her hand and said with a wry smile.

Desaya looked at Princess Vivi, smiled slightly, and asked, "What's your name, little beauty?"

Hearing someone ask her a question, Princess Vivi quickly snapped out of her reverie, smoothed her light blue hair, and smiled sweetly and innocently.

"Hello, sister, you can call me Miss Wednesday."

She was completely unfamiliar with these people, so she couldn't reveal her real name and had to use code names.

Princess Vivi, though kind, gentle, and dignified, was not a foolish woman. For the sake of her country, she would never reveal her identity.

"Come on, let's sit down and chat."

Baccarat sat down, her delicate eyebrows arched, and said gracefully, "Let me introduce you to that man first."

"His name is Chris, he's the Captain of this ship, and his bounty is 300 million Beli."

Princess Vivi had just sat down when she heard this. She immediately stood up, her pretty face showing shock, and said incredulously.

"What!!"

Realizing he had overreacted, he quickly sat down and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I was so surprised. I hope you won't mind."

Perona floated in the air, grinning, and said, "You don't need to be so polite. This princess really dislikes that kind of thing."

Nojiko looked at Princess Vivi and smiled, saying, "Now that you're here, relax. There's no need to be so tense."

"Everyone here is easy to talk to, so let's chat naturally. You're being too polite."

Baccarat patted Princess Vivi's little hand gently and gracefully, "You're still too reserved. You don't need to keep apologizing, okay?"

Princess Vivi nodded repeatedly, smiled sweetly, and said happily, "My sisters are all very kind. I'll listen to you and won't be so polite."

"Hey Baccarat, you just said Chris has a bounty of 300 million Beli, is that true?"

Nami looked at her, blinked her big eyes, and asked with curiosity on her pretty face, "Chris has been in the newspapers several times, haven't you seen it?"

Carina nodded, looking suspicious, and said something.

"Yes, by all accounts, Chris should be famous throughout the Grand Line. How come you haven't heard of him?"

"It seems you don't usually read the newspapers, which is why you don't know his name."

Princess Vivi brushed her blue hair aside and said apologetically, "I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't had time to read the newspaper."

"I'll definitely take a good look later, find some news about Chris, and learn more about him."

Honey Queen leaned back in her chair and smiled gently. "There's no need to wait until later; there are newspapers right here."

"We won't lose any news about Chris; we'll collect it all so we can keep it as a memento later."

Mei Di nodded slightly, smiled faintly, and said, "Chris is destined to become a legend, so any newspaper that mentions him will be..."

"Then they all have collectible value and will definitely be hard to find in the future. There will be many people vying for these old newspapers, without a doubt."

Carmen sat down and agreed, saying, "It's definitely worth collecting; the potential for appreciation is enormous."

"I firmly believe that one day, a newspaper like this could sell for a very high price."

At this moment, Baccarat took out the papers from the drawer, handed them to Princess Vivi, and said with a smile.

"Here, this contains information about Chris. You can read it if you're interested."

"The content included newspaper articles, quotes from Chris, and things Chris had done..."

"It's all scattered, but it's a fairly detailed record of Chris's affairs."

Reiju, with her legs crossed and her delicate chin resting on her hand, said gracefully and generously, "If you want to understand Chris, these documents are enough."

"You can analyze his character and personality by looking at what he says and does; it's not difficult at all."

Makino looked at Reiju, nodded gently, still as Gentle and gentle as ever, and agreed.

"The information is indeed very detailed, analyzing Chris's situation very thoroughly."

"Everything that happened in the South Blue, the West Blue, and the North Blue Sea is recorded here."

"I can find out what happened to Chris in the past just by looking at this information. It's very convenient and simple."

Kaya blinked her big eyes, her smile sweet and warm, and said happily, "I love what Chris says the most; every single one of them makes so much sense!"

"Every word is precious and thought-provoking. I've learned a lot, and my mind has become stronger as a result, hehe..."

Desaya nodded in agreement, "Chris's Quotations are indeed very well collected, and I've learned a lot from them."

In short, it can be summed up in two words— Haki!

Hearing their conversation, Princess Vivi's flawless face lit up with anticipation; she was eager to see what the documents contained.

Princess Vivi glanced at the imposing figure ahead with her beautiful eyes. Although she couldn't see his face, she felt an immense sense of awe from his silhouette.

Looking at that figure from behind, it's like seeing a great mountain, so steady and solid, giving people a strong sense of security.

You can't help but want to rely on him and stay close to him.

Most importantly, upon seeing that figure from behind, an aura of a prehistoric beast immediately assaults the senses.

This was what shocked her the most.

She had never encountered such a terrifying aura from anyone before, from childhood to adulthood; this was the only one like it.

In addition, Princess Vivi found that when looking at this figure from behind, her gaze was unconsciously drawn to him and found it difficult to look away.

All of these factors combined made her sigh inwardly.

What an extraordinary man!

"Sisters, Lord Chris is so amazing, I will definitely take a good look at these materials and understand them carefully."

Princess Vivi did not hesitate and immediately lowered her head to look at the information...
