"How about it? Were they just trying to kill someone a moment ago?" Desire glanced at Carina, blinking her beautiful eyes, her pretty face adorned with a sweet smile as she asked curiously.

Carina shrugged casually and replied, "No doubt about it."

"Those folks out there are ruthless; without Ethan at the helm, they'd be running wild."

Floating in the air, Perona nodded vigorously, a smile gracing her lips as she remarked, "If we head there later, I bet that guy will meet his end."

Makino frowned gently, "Actually, it's not so bad. They're tough on outsiders but quite friendly to us."

At this point, Reiju crossed her legs, propping her chin with her delicate hands, gazing at Baccarat, and suggested, "Regarding these quotes, I think they could be promoted in the future."

"When we establish a base in the New World, we could disseminate Ethan's quotes to the people in New World, enabling everyone to learn from them."

"This way, citizens will hold Ethan in higher esteem, genuinely agreeing with him and perhaps even revering him as a deity."

Moodie furrowed her brow, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "That's a brilliant idea; I believe it will be effective."

"It's undoubtedly the best way to spread Ethan's ideals, guiding citizens' beliefs sincerely."

"At that point, the country can develop into a military power, motivating citizens to train diligently and become warriors individually."

Alvida leaned against the table, wiping the slight sweat from her forehead with a smile, "Ethan mentioned it before; it's what I'll be focusing on now."

"At that time, various training facilities will be established nationwide, allowing citizens to start training early and cultivate their warrior qualities."

"Ultimately, the foundation of this nation must be strength and respect for the strong."

Baccarat waved sweetly, "Okay, those plans are still far off; let's discuss them later when we reach the New World."

"After all, we've just entered the Grand Line, and it's too early to talk about the New World."

At that moment, Princess Vivi finished reading the newspaper, lifting her gaze to the girls with wide eyes filled with emotion.

"Master Ethan is incredible; the first time he had a bounty, he became the most renowned figure in the world."

"The second time, his bounty of 300 million Baileys was shattered outright. It must have sent shockwaves throughout the Grand Line."

Princess Vivi stroked her water-blue hair, blinked her large eyes, and smiled gently, "I've never seen a young man as formidable as Ethan."

Nami glanced at her casually, remarking, "It's not just you; we all feel the same way. There's simply no one in the world as powerful as Ethan."

Nojiko sat, resting, and grinned, "Speaking of which, we're still not famous enough."

"When we become Shichibukai, we'll truly be the big shots, recognized by the world."

Queen Sugar hoisted the barbell, her tone resolute, "With the speed of this whaling ship, we'll reach Alabasta in less than ten days."

"Once we're there, we'll take down Shichibukai Crocodile directly. That's game over, isn't it?"

Betty took a drag of her cigarette, speaking calmly as usual, "Actually, what I'm curious about is the captain's battle."

"After all, with so many members now, I'm curious about their strength rankings and who's the strongest."

Their conversation took aback Princess Vivi, her wide eyes reflecting surprise on her flawless face.

Reach Alabasta and defeat Shichibukai Crocodile? How is that possible?

Carina noticed Princess Vivi's reaction, patting her shoulder and asking with a sly smile, her beautiful eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Surprised, are you? Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Floating in the air, Perona laughed like silver bells, "You can't be too astonished when you're with Ethan."

"After all, Ethan is the strongest entity in the world, so whatever happened must be earth-shattering, Horohorohoro..."

Princess Vivi finally snapped out of her daze; her radiant eyes widened, her shocked expression evident on her pretty face as she hastily inquired.

"Ladies and gentlemen, did I hear correctly? Are you suggesting that we go to Alabasta and defeat Shichibukai Crocodile?"

"But how is that possible? He's a Shichibukai, the mightiest pirate on the seas; no one can match him."

Princess Vivi looked at them, furrowing her beautiful brows, murmuring, "Although Master Ethan has a bounty of 300 million Baileys, there's still a significant gap compared to Shichibukai."

"So, sister, I think you should reconsider. This is incredibly dangerous, and something dreadful might occur."

Hearing her words, the girls exchanged bemused glances before bursting into laughter.

"Hehehehehehe..."

The musical laughter filled the training room, bringing a sense of joy.

Seeing the girls' reactions, Princess Vivi was bewildered, utterly perplexed.

Was what I said so amusing?

Probably not.

"Well, sisters, what's so funny? Can you enlighten me?" Princess Vivi couldn't contain her curiosity and asked.

Reiju chuckled, stroking her delicate chin, "It's simple; you're underestimating Ethan's strength."

Desire flashed Princess Vivi a charming smile, "You have no idea how powerful Ethan truly is."

"To you, Shichibukai Crocodile might seem formidable. But for us, he's nothing."

Carina crossed her legs, her tone confident, "You see, even Doflamingo, one of the top Shichibukai, fell to Ethan."

"As for Crocodile, he's one of the weaker ones among the Shichibukai, practically a pushover."

"Thus, hearing what you said, we find it amusing. You see, Ethan possesses Admiral-level strength, the strongest there is."

Perona nodded vigorously, smiling, "Let's not even talk about Crocodile; even with Doflamingo thrown in, they're no match for Ethan."

Princess Vivi was stunned by these revelations, her face a horror mask.

Mei widened her eyes, turning to Carina with eager curiosity, "Sister Carina, did you just say that Master Ethan has Admiral-level strength?"

"How is that possible? Isn't Master Ethan only around nineteen years old? How could he possess such immense power?"

Carina shrugged nonchalantly, "You didn't witness Ethan's rigorous training, that's why."

"Despite his youth, he's incredibly diligent, coupled with his exceptional talent; that's how he's attained such formidable combat prowess."

Baccarat gently patted Princess Vivi's hand, speaking with dignity and reassurance, "There are varying degrees of strength among Admirals."

"Ethan's current combat capabilities belong to the highest tier; there's no doubt about it."

Betty took a drag from her cigarette, speaking calmly, "Without such strength, how could he dominate the New World? How could he conquer powerful nations?"

Silence enveloped the room.

The gravity of the information overwhelmed Princess Vivi, leaving her feeling dizzy and disoriented.

She didn't doubt the girls' words but believed them.

From the newspaper's contents to the imposing aura from Ethan and his formidable crew members outside...

All signs pointed to Ethan possessing such strength.

Crocodile was a mere speck in comparison.

"Since Master Ethan is so powerful, I must seek his aid and implore him to save my country, Alabasta."

"Even if it means kneeling before him, I'll do whatever it takes to gain his assistance."

Princess Vivi resolved silently within herself; her eyes gleamed with determination, her regal visage showing a resolute expression.

It's time to reveal her identity and seek help...

Turning to the girls without hesitation, her tone pleading, she spoke directly, "My sisters, I implore you for your aid."

"Miss Wednesday is merely my code name; my true name is Nefertari Vivi, the princess of Alabasta. I joined Baroque Works to save my people and gather valuable intelligence."

Vivi shook her head, a sense of helplessness evident on her pretty face as she sighed, "Baroque Works is too formidable, and its leader, Crocodile, is shrouded in mystery."

"With my current strength, I stand no chance against this behemoth. I pray my sisters to lend their aid and save my homeland."

"Vivi is here to express her gratitude to all of you."

With that, she rose and offered a deep bow to the girls, her demeanor earnest.

The girls were momentarily taken aback, gesturing hastily as they spoke in unison, "No need for such formality..."

Carina's eyes widened with realization, incredulous as she addressed Princess Vivi, "You're the princess of Alabasta? That's unbelievable."

"Absolutely, absolutely, this revelation has left me stunned, hahahahaha~~."

Perona nodded vigorously, clearly taken aback.

Alvida halted her practice, regarding Princess Vivi with a smile, "Indeed, upon closer inspection, you do exude a regal air."

"That elegance and nobility are unmistakable; it's not something ordinary folks possess."

Carmen agreed, "Growing up in such a noble environment, it's no wonder you carry yourself with grace and dignity."

Kaya beamed at Princess Vivi, her eyes sparkling with admiration, "No wonder you're so radiant; being a princess suits you perfectly."

Reiju gently grasped Vivi's hand, her warm smile reassuringly, "Come, let's sit and talk; no need for formalities."

"And let me say, your bravery in infiltrating enemy territory for the sake of your people is commendable."

"My sister holds you in high regard; you're truly a princess of integrity."

Seated, Princess Vivi shook her head slightly, her emotions evident, "Sister Reiju, it's not something I wanted to do."

"It pains me to see my people suffering. The deserts are expanding, and the lands are turning barren. It breaks my heart!"

"All because of Crocodile. He's a Logia Sand-Sand Fruit user, able to transform land into desert."

"He's wreaking havoc, altering Alabasta's climate, causing perpetual droughts."

"If this continues, my homeland will be decimated, and that fiend will be blamed. Nami's eyes twinkled with sympathy as she remarked, "I can't help but notice the parallels between Vivi's situation and Violet's."

"Both princesses, both under the rule of a Shichibukai. And the one who can help is Ethan."

Moodie nodded in agreement, "Now that you mention it, the resemblance is uncanny."

Alvida swung her iron rod, adding, "And they're both delightful princesses; that's another similarity."

Baccarat took Vivi's hand gracefully, reassuring her, "You don't have to face this alone; we're here to help."

"Dealing with Crocodile has long been Ethan's plan, and it's set in stone."

"Rest assured, your country will soon be free, and your people will thrive."

Makino's voice was gentle as she added, "For now, take solace in these moments; eat, sleep, and worry not; everything will be alright."

Touched, Princess Vivi fought back tears, smiling gratefully, "Alright, I'll trust in my sisters and refrain from overthinking; just being with you all is comforting."

"Truly, you're all so kind; I truly adore every one of you."

Carina gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder, "Once Alabasta's issue is resolved, you're welcome to join us at sea."

"Imagine spending every day together, never apart; it'll be splendid."

Perona giggled in agreement, "Absolutely, I'm quite fond of Vivi too, hahahahaha~~."

Honey Queen waved her wooden sword, her smile faint, "Indeed, having the kingdom's princess with us is a wish fulfilled."

"Really?"

Princess Vivi's surprise was evident, but she furrowed her brows, shaking her head with a wry smile.

"I fear my father won't permit it; he dotes on me so and would worry excessively about my well-being."

Nojiko smiled reassuringly, saying, "Don't worry about that for now; we can discuss it after we've dealt with Crocodile."

Meddy flicked her light blonde hair and remarked, "Once your father sees how powerful Ethan is, he won't oppose you."

"Taking a leaf out of Fan-Oka's book, your fate was sealed the moment you stepped onto this ship," Kaya quipped with a playful wink.

"Haha..."

Laughter filled the room as all the girls joined in, their voices harmonious and joyful, lingering in the air long after they stopped.

It was late into the evening, precisely eleven forty-three. The night sky was adorned with a luminous moon and twinkling stars, casting a serene and enchanting glow.

The scene resembled a captivating lullaby in the tranquil atmosphere, devoid of seagull calls or crashing waves.

With a soft creak, the wooden door to the training room swung open, and Princess Vivi, her blue hair glinting, entered gracefully.

"Master, it's getting late; have you not rested yet?"

Closing the door gently behind her, Vivi approached Ethan with a gentle smile, concern evident in her voice.

Ethan focused on wielding the blood-red sword and replied calmly without turning, "I'll rest later. Why aren't you asleep yet? Is something on your mind?"

Alone in the room with Ethan, Vivi felt more at ease, her nerves settling as she met his gaze. She couldn't help but admire his handsome profile, drawn to the enigmatic aura surrounding him.

"Master Ethan, I came to express my gratitude."

Standing before him, Vivi bowed deeply, her voice filled with sincere appreciation. "I didn't have the chance to thank you earlier today."

"I'm truly grateful for your willingness to assist me. If there's anything I can do to repay your kindness in the future, I won't hesitate."

During the day, she resolved to express her gratitude to Ethan personally, waiting until everyone had retired for the night to convey her sentiments.

After acknowledging Vivi's words, Ethan extinguished his cigarette and leaned the blood-red sword against his leg, his demeanor composed. "Baccarat and the others are correct; there's no need for such formality."

"I understand your concerns, but they're unfounded. I never undertake tasks I'm uncertain about."

"With Crocodile, there's no doubt he will be defeated. So, rest assured and get some sleep."

Princess Vivi embodies a remarkable blend of understanding, dignity, outward gentleness, and inner strength, epitomizing the qualities of a devoted wife and mother.

Reflecting on her past experiences, she recalls a moment during her youth when she attended the World Summit and faced bullying from Wapol. Despite the risk of sparking conflict, she took the initiative to apologize and retreated to a secluded corner, overcome with tears.

Perceptive of her tender nature, Ethan expressed his care and concern, offering comfort and reassurance.

"..."

Moved by Ethan's genuine concern, Princess Vivi's pretty face lit up with a gentle smile. She responded happily with a pleasant tone and raised eyebrows, "Master Ethan, your words have lifted my worries. I trust in you completely."

"I won't dwell on things anymore. I know you won't disappoint me."

"Please, continue your practice; I'll retire for some rest," she added, turning gracefully and gliding across the training room like a butterfly, her steps light and carefree.

Her buoyant mood was evident, radiating joy and contentment.

Meanwhile, Ethan leaned against the blood-red sword, exhaling a puff of smoke as he silently watched Princess Vivi depart, his expression calm and composed. Discarding the cigarette butt, he retrieved his cherished sword, resuming his diligent.
