"Larvin." A voice came from behind.
Vivian turned around and saw that it was Trafalgar Law, the captain of the Heart Pirates. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you need something?"
"Captain Larvin, has Whitebeard also landed on this island?" Law asked.
"Whitebeard?" Vivian was momentarily stunned, then remembered the news that Larvin had joined the Whitebeard Pirates and become the captain of the second division. He replied, "Old man… he's been traveling around lately, too busy to meddle in this place."
"So, you're here alone?"
"Yes." Vivian nodded. "Why, do you need something?"
"No…"
Law scratched his head and then looked at the group of Tontatta Tribe members and slaves.
"These people?"
"Rescued from the underground."
"Underground? What about Doflamingo?"
Law was eager to ask more, but at that moment, a group of marines carried the severely injured Doflamingo out on a stretcher.
Seeing Doflamingo in such a state, a mix of anger and joy filled Law's mind.
The man he had spent over a decade trying to defeat was captured by the marines?
Who…
Who beat Doflamingo to this state?
Filled with questions, Law instinctively looked at Vivian.
This person had just come from the underworld and rescued the Tontatta Tribe, who were involved in making artificial Devil Fruits, and the slaves taken by the Donquixote Family. Could it be that he was the one who defeated Doflamingo?
With a bounty of 2 billion, someone of that level could definitely take down Doflamingo.
Meanwhile, as Law was speculating, Gordon, who had returned to land with the marine medical team, quickly took out his camera and started taking pictures of Vivian's side and back.
"That's Loget Larvin, right? That look, it must be him!"
I can't believe he came to the Sabaody Archipelago…
This is big news!
"If the Whitebeard Pirates are here too, then maybe… something big is about to happen?"
Thinking this, he kept pressing the shutter.
"Hmm?" Vivian, who was reaching for a cigar, noticed the flashes nearby and turned to look.
"Gordon… collecting news material again?"
"Hiss~~ Puff~~"
Oh well, I'll pose for him. After all, we'll be partners in a magazine company in the future.
Thinking this, Vivian struck a pose and smiled at the camera with his face painted in oil.
Click, click, click—!
A few seconds later.
"Hey, look, isn't that Loget Larvin?" A marine noticed Vivian and exclaimed.
"It really is Loget Larvin!"
"Why is he in Dressrosa?"
"Is he here to make a deal with Joker?" Someone speculated.
As expected, everyone else showed expressions of sudden realization.
"Yeah, pirates are all the same, Whitebeard Pirates and Donquixote Pirates having dealings in private is nothing unusual."
"After all, which pirate crew doesn't need weapons?"
"They might even be involved in slave trading."
"So what should we do now? Call headquarters and request reinforcements?"
If the entire Whitebeard Pirates show up, our current manpower won't be enough to handle them, right?
After all, during the Marineford War, even with the full force of the Navy, we didn't gain much advantage in that battle…
"First, call Captain Vivian and Admiral Momousagi. If it's just Loget Larvin, we can handle him."
"Yeah, even without Admiral Momousagi, Thunder Swordsman Vivian alone is enough to beat that guy."
Thanks to the media, the Navy's trust and admiration for Vivian are even higher than for the new Admiral Momousagi.
Meanwhile…
"It seems things are getting lively…" Vivian said, touching his chin as he withdrew his smile.
"You should run quickly. If someone finds you, you'll be in trouble."
Seeing the situation, Viola quickly looked at Vivian and said.
"Okay." Vivian nodded, "I'll leave these people to you for now. I'm heading to the Bullfighting Arena. There should be only one or two Donquixote Family officers left there, right? Once I rescue your father, the Dressrosa Kingdom should be back under your control."
After speaking, Viola suddenly stepped forward, tears in her eyes, and threw herself into Vivian's arms.
Vivian: ???
"After everything is over, I'll wait for you in the palace… until you come."
As the words fell…
"Catch him!"
"That man is Loget Larvin, a pirate with a bounty of 2 billion Berries!"
"Admiral Momousagi said to keep him in the Dressrosa Kingdom!"
Angry shouts came from not far away.
Seeing a large number of Marines charging with sabers and flintlock rifles, Vivian exhaled a smoke ring, then quickly ran towards the Bullfighting Arena.
…
The scene switches again.
At the same time, in the waters of Dressrosa Port.
A giant ship was docking at the pier, and the next second, a pirate suddenly rushed out of the cabin, shouting loudly, "It's bad, it's bad, Lord Jack! Doflamingo's base has been wiped out by the Navy! Not only that, but there seems to be an Admiral on the island now. It looks like we can't get our goods back!"
"What?"
Standing over eight meters tall, with blonde hair and ivory-like decorations on his head and shoulders, the pirate called Jack frowned and showed a very displeased expression.
"What should we do now, Lord Jack? Should we retreat and inform Captain Kaido?"
"Retreat?"
Jack sneered, then waved his big hand, "Who do you think I am? Move the ship closer!"
"Yes, Lord Jack!"
