Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Five: Gathering
Two days later, Bastille.
"Autumn single-handedly attacked a Vice Admiral?"
Nico Robin looked at the newspaper, her expression somewhat complicated. "And it happened on the sixth floor?"
"That's impressive."
Sabo stood a short distance away and said, "According to the information we've received, he fought and defeated Admiral Gumeir. Admiral Gumeir's techniques couldn't even harm him."
"Admiral Gumeir is a renowned swordsman; he should be able to cut through iron," Kera remarked from nearby. "And he also knows Haki. I really don't understand how Autumn managed to win."
"Being able to kill a Vice Admiral shows that his strength is formidable; he may not be inferior to me."
Sabo stroked his chin thoughtfully. "In the four years we've been apart, his strength has increased rapidly. Given his abilities, the task he wants our help with shouldn't be too easy."
Hearing this, Nico Robin recalled something and said, "He didn't tell us what he wanted to do back then. Even if he had, we wouldn't have believed he could accomplish it. Now that he suddenly attacks a Vice Admiral, it proves his strength is on par with Sabo's. Could this be a signal?"
Kera looked at the two and asked, "Isn't today June first?"
"That's right."
Sabo nodded, just as he was about to say something when a voice came from a distance. "Commander Sabo, there's information coming in from Emile Island."
“Emil Island?”
Sabo exchanged glances with the others; indeed, killing the Vice Admiral was a signal.
The three of them immediately approached, and Sabo glanced at Nico Robin, saying, “You go ahead.”
“Alright.”
Nico Robin took the phone and softly said, “Qiu, is that you?”
...
Sakura Kingdom.
“Elken and Lilya have been gone for quite a while.”
Dalton and Bola stood side by side, gazing out at the swirling snowflakes and the white blanket of snow. “It’s the first time they’ve left together like this.”
“Yeah, this mission is very important and quite dangerous,” Bola replied gently.
Dalton asked, “Didn’t you receive a summons?”
“No.”
Bola looked at the baby in her arms and smiled, saying, "I asked the president, but he doesn't need me to go. Even if I did, I might not be able to help, so it's better for me to stay home and take care of the child."
Dalton chuckled, "It’s probably because you just gave birth and have become a mother."
Bola replied, "Even if I went, I might not be of any assistance. It's better to stay here. If things go wrong, at least the other members will have a fallback."
Dalton said, "Your president values relationships and has already thought of a backup plan for you."
"That's exactly what worries me."
Bola said softly, "He shouldn't be concerned about these things, nor should he be thinking of a backup plan."
...
Alabasta.
"I'm sorry, Master. I might have something going on during this time and won't be able to learn swordsmanship from you."
In the luxurious room in Las Vegas, Vivi spoke apologetically into the Transponder Snail.
"What is it that you have to do?" The voice of Peach Rabbit came through the receiver.
Vivi replied, "During this time, I need to go to Sakura Kingdom to discuss the next phase of cooperation for the medical center and the plan to establish a hospital in Alabasta."
"Is that so?"
Peach Rabbit, hearing Vivi's words, replied with dissatisfaction, "Isn't there anyone else who can handle this? You can't be the only one in Alabasta. I seem to recall telling you not to get too distracted by other matters."
Vivi immediately responded, "Teacher Peach Rabbit, it's just this matter. It's mainly about the collaboration with Sakura Kingdom and the establishment of the medical center, which I'm responsible for. It wouldn't be appropriate to hand it over to someone else right now; I need to handle it myself, but it shouldn't take too long. Besides, even in Sakura Kingdom, I can still train."
"Alright then."
Peach Rabbit said, "But I will be going to Alabasta to wait for your return."
"Huh?"
Vivi paused for a moment and asked, "Are you coming over, Teacher? But I won't be able to welcome you."
"It doesn't matter if you're not here."
Peach Rabbit smiled and asked, "Haven't you seen the news?"
"The news?"
Vivi looked startled for a moment before realizing, "You mean the incident with the G Branch being attacked by the giant beast? Admiral Gumeir was killed by that beast?"
Peach Rabbit nodded and said, "That giant beast appeared and fought Admiral Gumeir before killing him. I find it all rather hard to believe."
Vivi asked with concern, "So how does the Navy plan to respond?"
Peach Rabbit replied, "Things are a bit beyond expectations. Admiral Sengoku is furious, and Admiral Sakazuki is handling the situation."
Vivi inquired again, "Will there be any problems in Alabasta?"
"No, there won't be."
Peach Rabbit said, "Didn't I tell you I was going to Alabasta? You can rest assured and go to Sakura Kingdom. I'll stay here and watch over things for you. It just so happens that Aokiji informed me that Alabasta is a target point, so it's part of my mission as well."
Hearing this, Vivi's expression darkened, but she still said, "Alright, then I’ll leave it to Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit."
"Leave it to me."
Peach Rabbit smiled and added, "I should arrive by tomorrow morning, so you need to hurry back."
"I will."
Vivi replied earnestly before hanging up the phone.
"I have to go now."
Taking a deep breath, Vivi strapped two swords to her waist and turned to walk out of the room.
"Let's go."
Vivi took a deep breath and spoke to the guards standing outside and Ikaram.
"It is Princess Vivi."
Ikaram slightly bowed and then followed Vivi as they walked away, descending the stairs.
Vivi and Ikaram arrived at the first level of Las Vegas, where the gamblers cheered upon seeing her, "Princess Vivi."
"Princess Vivi."
The gamblers in the entire casino were very familiar with Vivi.
She was the princess of Alabasta and also the master of Alaska Casino, possessing the Sand-Sand Fruit, skilled in swordsmanship, and wielding immense power.
Many admired her, feared her, and envied her.
Yet she did not know if she could ever return again.
Vivi shook her head and led Ikaram out of the casino. They arrived at the port and boarded a ship heading to Sakura Kingdom.
Upon reaching Sakura Kingdom, she was personally escorted by Dalton into the castle but quietly left from the back of the castle, making her way to the rear coast.
There was a submarine that had long been prepared.
Vivi stepped onto the submarine and entered the cabin, and then the submarine headed towards the distant Sailing, arriving at Second Island.
Upon reaching Second Island, Vivi walked inside, where many people had already gathered.
The President, Ace, Heckler, Cecilia, Perona, and Feng Kelei.
Seeing Vivi, Xiaqiu nodded and said, "Vivi is here, now everyone is present. Elken and Christmas have sent word that their ship in Sabaody Archipelago has successfully undergone coating. It's time to set out."
At this point, Xiaqiu revealed a sinister smile.
"Let us head to the New World together."
