Everyone returned to the boat, and Ada Wong finally uncuffed Miss Wednesday, but before going to the restaurant to discuss, Miss Wednesday asked where the bathroom was and rushed over.
Release the accumulated urine comfortably.
In the restaurant, after Miss. Wednesday arrived, Mr. 8 cleared his throat like an opera singer and said:
"Let me introduce them first. These guys defeated a pirate with a bounty of 5 million. They were wanted for million and the bounty was revoked. They also made the headquarters lieutenant general apologize in the newspaper. They just defeated dozens of million-dollar messengers easily, as well as the Fourth Calamity Pirate Hunter Group led by Chief Commander Mr. ."
"What!" Miss. Wednesday was stunned, especially when she heard that they could make the lieutenant general apologize and defeat the chief commander Mr. 5.
That's the chief conductor!
He is a terrifying devil fruit user!
"Mr.8, stop joking..."
"I'm not kidding," Mr. 8 shook his head and took out the relevant report from his pocket and handed it to Miss. Wednesday to confirm that he was not talking nonsense.
"So I would like to ask them for help. What do you think?"
"It's not free," Chen Yongan raised his hand, "We have to pay a certain amount for our help. If we are short of a child, we will kill you as well."
Looking at the contents of the report, Miss Wednesday's eyes trembled, and considering the strong strength they showed, she had no doubts.
Miss. Wednesday put down the newspaper, took a deep breath, and made up her mind. "Let's formally introduce ourselves. I am Nephite D. Vivi, the princess of Alabasta, one of the few countries in the Grand Line. This is the captain of Alabasta's guard, Ikarem."
Chen Yongan was not surprised at all and simply gave his name, "Chen Yongan, these are my crew members. Let me make it short. What do you want us to help you with? How can we help you?"
"I would like to ask you to help me quell the civil unrest in Alabasta and destroy Baroque Works!"
"Baroque Works? This is your organization?" King Ada said, "Aren't you also a member of it?"
"Yes," Weiwei explained, "A few years ago, there were revolutionary trends in my country. The people were in turmoil and the country was in chaos. According to our investigation, it was the Baroque Workshop that instigated the people to riot."
"So you and the captain of the guard infiltrated the organization?" King Ada said.
"That's right," Weiwei nodded, "This is a company full of mystery. Everyone is only called by a code name. No one's real name is known, including the boss."
According to our investigation, this company has only one goal, which is to seize my homeland, Alabasta, and build what they call an utopia.
But so far, this is all the information we have collected. As for the specific implementation of their plan and who their boss is, we have no idea at all.”
"This method sounds familiar," King Ada murmured, "creating basic contradictions, inciting conflicts, and then taking advantage of the opportunity to seize power, or supporting puppets to come to power. Those who are able to do all this are either the enemy country intervening, or someone in a high position of power in the country."
In the world where King Ada lives, there is a country that is extremely good at using such methods and has messed up countless countries.
Vivi and Alabasta looked at each other and confirmed King Aida's statement.
"Yes, we thought so too, and we also have a guess about the mastermind, but we don't have definite evidence."
"It doesn't matter," Chen Yongan leaned back in his chair, "Before this, have you decided how much you should pay me? This is a big job."
"As for the reward," Weiwei showed an embarrassed expression, "My country has been in turmoil in recent years, I'm afraid I can't give much as a reward..."
"I thought Alabasta was a big country, right? A starving camel is bigger than a horse, right? Ten billion berries can be spared, right?"
One billion berries is not a lot. Based on the purchasing power here, it is only about 50 million RMB.
It is urgent to save the people from the disaster and support the collapsing building. In Chen Yongan's opinion, this price is quite reasonable.
It's the kind that makes a lot of money and no loss.
"Well, I don't think the treasury should have that much money now..." Weiwei was already embarrassed, "But if things calm down and the economy recovers..."
"So it's a blank check?"
"No, no, we can write an IOU and a contract."
"Forget it. If you don't have money, you can use other payment methods, such as devil fruits. I think it shouldn't be difficult for you to get them, right?"
Chen Yongan is still thinking about finding a devil fruit for Maryrose to improve her strength.
If I had a better devil fruit, it would be worthwhile to do this with Vivi.
Of course, even if there is no money or results, we have to do it.
Who told me that the task assigned by the system has already been taken over?
Chapter 137 Cat Fruit
"Devil Fruit?"
Hearing this, Weiwei frowned slightly, but still nodded.
"The devil fruit is fine if you can help me destroy Baroque Works and save Alabasta from danger."
"Princess Vivi, are you talking about the only remaining cat-cat fruit?" Ikarem said, "That is one of Alabasta's national treasures."
Devil Fruits are precious strategic resources for Alabasta. They are prepared for the warriors who are loyal to the country and are indispensable for improving the warriors' strength.
There are three types of devil fruits in Alabasta: the Dog-Dog Fruit, the Bird-Bird Fruit, and the Cat-Cat Fruit. The first two already have matching warriors, and only the Cat-Cat Fruit is still in the treasure house waiting for its owner.
"It doesn't matter," Weiwei said firmly, "Compared to a country, a devil fruit is nothing."
"Not bad, you have guts," Chen Yongan applauded, "Since it's confirmed, I'll take on this mission too."
Chen Yongan remembered that the country of Alabasta was modeled after Egypt, both in terms of geography and culture. Even the only two Devil Fruit users belonging to the royal family were 'Falcon' and 'Jackal'.
In Egyptian mythology, these two animals represent the patron god 'Horus' and the god of death 'Anubis' respectively. They are active in ACG cultural works and are well known to people.
Also active in ACG culture is the cat goddess 'Bastet', who is based on a cat.
There are many symbols of Bastet. Some say it is the eye of the sun god, which possesses the flame of the sun; some say it is the god representing the moon; or it may be the patron saint of the family, the goddess of joy, the goddess of fertility, and so on.
All in all, it's just a bunch of titles, like the stew that Tifa often makes, with all kinds of messy things added in, making it difficult to distinguish.
Therefore, the Cat-Cat Fruit is regarded as a national treasure by Alabasta, which is modeled after Egypt, and it is hard not to think of it as "Bastet".
If it really is a mythical beast, or if it becomes a mythical beast after awakening, this wave can be said to be a huge profit.
Moreover, Chen Yongan felt that the Cat-Cat Fruit was quite suitable for Marierose. Even if it was not a mythical beast species, it would be quite good to let Marierose grow a pair of cat ears.
"Well then," Weiwei excitedly put her hands on the table, "Let's get going without further ado!"
"Weiwei, wait a moment," Ikalem said, "Their information may have already been passed to the Baroque Works. Plus, you defeated Mr. 5, and there will be assassins coming to hunt you down soon."
"Although I have faith in your abilities, I think it would be more secretive to take a detour rather than heading straight to Alabasta and alerting Baroque Works. What do you think?"
Chen Yongan looked deeply at Ikarum who was courting death. Even though he himself had no intention of letting Ikarum get on the ship and go to Alabasta with him, since Ikarum took the initiative to bring it up, how could he not agree?
"So what should we do?"
"Princess Vivi, please give me the [Eternal Pointer] to Alabasta," Ikarem said, "My idea is to pretend to be you, hang up your flag and go straight to Alabasta, and then you take the normal route to avoid pursuers and spies."
"A feint to the east and attack in the west, right?" Chen Yongan agreed. "That's a good idea."
Vivi thought it made sense, and handed the Eternal Pointer to Alabasta to Ikarem, "Please be careful on the road."
"You too," Ikarem bowed deeply to everyone, "Princess Vivi, and the future of Alabasta are all in your hands."
After saying this, Ikalem left the ship and prepared to set sail.
"You don't need to pack your bags?" Chen Yongan asked, "Or should we just leave directly?"
"We can set sail now," Mona looked at the record pointer on her wrist, which had already saved the record for the trip to the next island.
"Well, before we set sail, there's one thing I haven't told you."
"what's up?"
Weiwei's expression turned serious, and she said, "Based on the information I've collected in the past and my own inferences, the boss behind Baroque Works might be the hero of Alabasta, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile!
Before he was recruited by the Navy, he was a pirate with a bounty of 80 million berries. Even so, do you still want to take on this mission?"
"A pirate who plotted against a country only gets a bounty of 2 million berries?" B didn't understand. "Or are you too weak? That's right, the captain of the Kingdom Guard can't even beat an ordinary esper."
"Ahem," Chen Yongan looked at Weiwei, whose fists were clenched tightly and turned red, and quickly hinted to 2B not to continue. "Sometimes strength is not the key to everything. Strategy is also very important."
"That's right," King Ada agreed. "A kingdom that loses the support of its people is like a tree with rotten roots. It will collapse even without being cut down."
"That's true," Weiwei slowly loosened her clenched fists, "but I think as long as the truth is told to the people, everything will be solved."
"Naive," King Ada shook his head, "Things are not that simple. At the moment of conflict, the truth is no longer important."
Weiwei argued, "How do you know if you haven't tried it?"
"Perhaps she has seen the world by standing on the shoulders of giants," said Chen Yongan. The first Resident Evil was produced in the late 20s, and considering Ada Wong's age, she had only witnessed history for a few years.
"Giant's shoulders? What does that mean?"
Chen Yongan just shook his head. He didn't want to talk about this topic.
Weiwei didn't ask any further questions. She left the boat and went back to town to pack her luggage.
After everyone waited for a while, Weiwei, who had packed her things, came back with her luggage.
Compared to her previous gangster-like outfit, she looked much more normal. She no longer wore a high ponytail, and the few strands of hair hanging down by her forehead made her look more elegant. She also changed her clothes into a tightly covered robe with a hood.
At the same time, she was followed by a yellow duck as big as an ostrich with a saddle on its back and eyes full of wisdom.
"Is this a Chocobo?" Tifa approached with her eyes shining. "No, Chocobo's beak is pointed. How come this one is flat?"
"This is Duckling, called 'Karu'," Vivi explained, "He's my good friend. He has stronger legs than a leopard, and he's the captain of the fastest army in Alabasta."
"Great, it's like a cross between a chocobo and a duck," Tifa reached out and scratched Kalu's chin, "Do you want some vegetables? I'll get them for you."
"Ga~" Kalu nodded happily when he heard about the food, as if he was afraid that he would not be given food.
"Really?" Weiwei said helplessly, "You're so enthusiastic when you hear about food. But when I tell you to do something, you always misunderstand my orders."
"Huh?" Kalu tilted her head. Yaya didn't understand what she said.
Chapter 138 Weiwei's First Night on the Boat
In the original work, the famous scene in which Ikalem exploded on the spot shortly after leaving the port did not appear. After he drove the ship and disappeared into the vast ocean, Chen Yongan commanded the sails to be raised and left the port in almost the opposite direction of Ikalem.
"Are you worried about what will happen next?" Chen Yongan leaned on the guardrail next to Weiwei. "Everything will be fine, just like the sky. Although it is temporarily dominated by darkness, there are still stars that are trying to shine their own light, trying to welcome the morning that will eventually come."
"Thank you for your comfort," Weiwei forced a smile. "I just can't relax at all when I think that the enemy might be Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...Aren't you nervous at all?"
"What's there to be nervous about? Is he more powerful than our lieutenant general?" Chen Yongan said in a relaxed tone. As for not being nervous at all, that was impossible.
I just hope that this sand crocodile is version 1.0, but if it can be domineering, coupled with his abilities, it will be somewhat troublesome.
"Have you ever fought against the Vice Admiral of our headquarters?"
Chen Yongan did not directly answer Weiwei's question, and said, "Let's go in. It's a bit windy at night. Let's go see if Tifa has prepared dinner."
"Ah."
Weiwei and Chen Yongan returned to the restaurant together. The little maid Maryrose took the initiative to come forward and hugged Chen Yongan's arm.
"Mary is also helping to cook dinner tonight. Come and try these meatballs. They are a specialty of Mary's hometown."
"Please sit down," Tifa smiled at Vivi, "I don't know if my cooking skills will suit the princess' taste."
"Just call me Weiwei," Weiwei said shyly, "I'm lucky to have something to eat at Whiskey Peak. How could I be picky about food? Especially when it's such a delicious meal."
"They are just some common dishes, just don't mind them."
Immediately afterwards, Vivi was amazed by Tifa's stew. If she wasn't concerned about her image, she would have poured it directly into her mouth.
After all, those days at Whiskey Peak were really hard.
......
After tasting a stew that Tifa was best at, Vivi, who had been busy all day, felt physically and mentally exhausted and prepared to go back to her room to rest.
"You can use the bathroom on the ship as you like, and you can also take a bath," Tifa said with concern, "You don't have to worry about the fresh water on the ship. It will be much more comfortable to take a hot bath before resting."
"Thank you."
Weiwei returned to the room assigned to her, which was located on the lower cabin floor, an uninhabited dormitory that had previously been used as a storage room.
But it's clean and there's nothing to complain about.
At least it was better than sharing a room with Ada Wong.
Vivi, who had witnessed Ada Wong's inhuman side, recalled the scene when Ada Wong pointed a gun at her. Those cold-blooded and ruthless eyes were enough to make her shudder.
——People’s fear of snakes is engraved in their genes.
Weiwei tossed and turned in bed. Thinking about what had happened today, she lost all desire to sleep. Finally, she decided to take a hot bath to relax.
