193- Acelynn!!

"Vivi, don't worry, I will help your kingdom and save your father." Ethan patted her back and tried to calm her down.

"My father?" There was confusion on Vivi's face, "My father had died of an illness when I was young, and my mother, Nefertari Titi, rules the kingdom."

Ethan took Vivi's hand and said to her more confidently, "I will definitely save your mother."

'I didn't expect Titi to be alive, in the original story she died and the king lived but here it is reversed.'

"Anyway, we need to gather more information. All we know is that the rebel army has overthrown the kingdom and a new ruler has been installed." Ethan sighed. Due to Vivi's escape he was unable to extract more information from that lady.

As the two returned to the market, Vivi said wistfully, "The rebel army wasn't supposed to attack so early, we were supposed to have some time."

Ethan patted her in the head and said seriously, "Maybe it's because of me."

"Because of you?" Vivi did not understand what Ethan meant.

"It seems that when Crocodile learned that you were allied with a powerful pirate to liberate your kingdom, he accelerated plans to occupy the kingdom before we arrived." Vivi stopped walking and just stood there in shock.

In the original story, Luffy was not famous and the reward on his head was only 30 million, that's why Crocodile was not wary of Luffy, but underestimated him, which led to his defeat.

But now, Crocodile seems to be quite wary and hastened his plan when he discovers that Ethan and his crew are helping Vivi, after all Ethan has managed to kill a Vice Admiral and that's not to be taken lightly.

Ethan looked at Vivi, he doesn't know what she was thinking, would she blame him and his crew for trying to help or would she blame herself for asking for help.

Ethan grabbed her by the chin and raised her head as he looked into her eyes, "Vivi, remember how strong Crocodile is, do you think you could defeat him if you didn't ask for help?"

She looked at Ethan with teary eyes, "I know if I didn't ask you for help there would be no chance of defeating Crocodile. But...."

Even before she finished her words Ethan bowed and kissed her, Vivi was shocked and tried to push him but the force difference was too big and in the end she gave up and closed her eyes.

After a while, Ethan separated the kiss and hugged Vivi, "Don't worry, I'll take back your kingdom."

"Haha, guys these days are really bold." An old lady selling kebabs noticed what Ethan and Vivi were doing and started laughing.

Vivi's face turned red and she looked around and realized that they are in the middle of the market and there are a lot of people looking at them.

"Are you saying bold? It's just corruption this boy should be punished." The old man who was buying kebabs started screaming as he pointed at Ethan, he was envious because he had been single all his life and had never tasted a woman's lips before.

"If I'm still young, I wouldn't mind kissing such a handsome young man." There was a small smile on the face of a beautiful lady in her forties.

"If the age difference does not make a difference to him, I will not mind even if he wants to sleep with me." Her blonde-haired friend whispered in her ear as she let out a chuckle.

Vivi grabbed Ethan's hand and quickly pulled him away from this place.

Then they continued gathering information, and discovered something that made Vivi feel more relaxed.

What Vivi knew was that there was no battle between the rebel army and the royal army, it was the Queen who decided to surrender so there were no casualties or loss of life.

After that, Crocodile was elected as the new ruler of the kingdom by the rebel army, because Crocodile was considered a hero to the people of Alabasta.

...

Lucy walks with Makino as she looks around curiously and then sees a restaurant smelling delicious, "Makino, let's eat I'm starving."

"Well, it's noon and we don't know when we'll meet so let's have lunch." Makino smiled sweetly and walked toward the restaurant with Lucy.

When the two of them approached the restaurant, they saw a lot of people gathered with worried and frightened faces.

"Hey! what's going on? what happened?" Makino asked one of the people standing outside the restaurant.

The man turned towards Makino. "oh. It seems someone suddlenly died in the restauant."

"suddlenly died?!" Makino and Lucy said at the same time in surprise.

The person nodded. "she suddlenly died in the middle of a canversation with the owner."

"She's traveler." Hearing the discussion, the woman began to explain."We think she unwittingly ate a Desert Strawberry while traveling..."

"A Desert Strawberry?" Makino was confused because she was sure strawberries wouldn't grow in the desert.

"They're poisonous spiders that look like red Strawberry. Eat one by accident, and you'll suddenly diad over a faw days later. Contagious poison spreads through your corpse afaw hours after that. so nobody can get close. In the desert, what you don't Know can kill you." The man said with great fear.

"Just look! the way she's still stuck holding the meat. is proof of just how powerful the Desert Strawberry poison is!" The woman pointed to a girl with her head on the plate, while her hand was raised, holding a fork and a piece of meat on the fork.

But suddenly that girl lifted her head off the plate, causing everyone to scream in terror, "SHE CAME BACK TO LIFE!"

The girl seemed to be unfocused, and she opened and closed her eyes more than once, but her eyes were still blurred.

A girl dressed in a dancer clothes approached her and said worriedly, "A-Are you all right?"

Upon hearing the question, the girl pulled the dancer's skirt and wiped her face with it, which made the dancer scream and then run away after the girl left the skirt.

"Oh, Whoops." The girl looked at the owner, "I fell asleep."

"YOU WERE ASLEEP?!" Everyone in the restaurant shouted in sync.

"Th-That absurd! you were in the middle of a conversation and meal!" Someone said doubtfully.

but the girl ignored him and went back to her meal. "and now she's eating again!"

Using her fork, she picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth and then looked at the owner of the restaurant in confusion. "What's all this commotion, anyway?"

"WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT YOU!!" Everyone shouted angrily but for the girl it was a comical thing. "Does this restaurant do comedy skits or something?"

"No, it's not like that. but it's good you're Alright." The owner of the restaurant sighed.

When she was about to put the piece of meat in her mouth suddenly the girl's face fell on the plate again while her arm remain raised.

"Hey, now! DON'T SLEEP AGAIN!!" The owner of the restaurant yelled while his teeth looked as if they had turned into shark teeth.

"Aw, so she wasn't dead after all? Just a fulse alarm..." People start to disperse and go back to their own businesses.

"Acelynn!!" The sleeping girl heard a familiar voice calling her so she raised her head and turned around with a big smile upon seeing two people she knew well.
