Chapter 58: Vivi's Lewd Tattoo Imprint & Palace Aftermath
I joined the tavern discussion, and after everyone chimed in with their bits and pieces, I finally got the full picture.
Two days ago—after Crocodile publicly confessed—most of the rebel army didn't fully disband. Instead, they retreated outside the capital and set up camp. Since many rebels came from other cities, they were probably planning to reorganize and return home.
But yesterday—Cobra suddenly sent heavy troops to surround and attack the camp—killing a large number of rebels. This reignited their anger, and it's likely they'll launch another offensive soon.
None of this concerned me, though. Let the city do whatever it wants. I'd wait for the Log Pose to finish recording and then leave. Let Luffy deal with this mess in the future.
Vivi was indeed a beauty—but not enough to make me freeze in place at first sight. Now—any interest I had was completely gone, replaced only by disappointment.
Thinking this, I downed the remaining half glass of beer in one gulp and left the tavern.
"Mr. Lin Xiu—may I have a word in private?" As I passed a alleyway, I heard a familiar female voice.
Following the sound—I saw a figure standing in the shadows of the alley. Dressed in plain cloth that couldn't hide her graceful curves, her entire head wrapped tightly in a headscarf—only a pair of clear, bright big eyes visible. Who else could it be but Vivi.
Though a little surprised—I calmly followed her into a secluded corner deep in the alley.
"Mr. Lin Xiu—I want to apologize for what happened before. My father was a bit excessive—but it was only because he cares too much about me. I hope you can forgive him." Vivi bowed—speaking with a timid expression.
"Hmph! That's what you call 'a bit excessive'?" Mentioning it immediately reignited my anger.
"Mr. Lin Xiu—I'm truly very sorry! I'm willing to offer any compensation—even if it's… even if it's myself…" Vivi's voice grew smaller and smaller—head sinking lower.
"How many times have I heard this line now, oh noble Princess Vivi?"
"I mean it! I'm willing to offer myself as payment—as long as you rescue my father. I will serve you as slave or servant to repay you." Seeing me unmoved—Vivi panicked.
I couldn't help rolling my eyes. Yep—another attempt to get free muscle. Do I really look that easy to fool?
"Sorry, noble Princess Vivi—I'm very busy. Find someone else." Right now—I had zero interest in the beauty before me. No mood to deal with her anymore. I tossed out the words and turned to leave.
"Mr. Lin Xiu! Don't go! Wuwu… please… Crocodile sent one of his subordinates to disguise as my father and take control of the entire palace. My real father has been captured. If this continues—he'll be killed… wuwuwu… please." As she spoke—tears streamed down Vivi's face. She collapsed to the ground—covering her face and sobbing.
Now I felt awkward. After all—I still had little resistance to beautiful women—especially one crying like this. My heart softened involuntarily.
"Alright—stop crying. I'll help you." I lifted Vivi from the ground—patted her shoulder.
I thought the beauty would throw herself into my arms and cry loudly. Unexpectedly—Vivi shrank back instead—fear flashing in her eyes. I sighed inwardly. She already saw me as an irredeemable villain.
Embracing Vivi—I soared into the sky—reaching high above the city. Massive mental energy spread outward—covering maximum range. Everything within a thousand-meter radius became crystal clear.
Then I scanned the entire capital—finally locating the imprisoned Cobra in a civilian residence. Along the way—I also spotted Crocodile and his elite officers meeting in a tavern. But since he wasn't with Cobra—I ignored him.
Only a few ordinary guards watched Cobra—likely low-level Baroque Works members. I silently knocked them out. Vivi finally reunited with her father.
Ignoring Cobra's complicated gaze—I turned and left the room.
The rest was simple. With Cobra and Vivi—I stormed the palace—yanked the disguised Mr. 2 off the throne—slapped Seastone cuffs on him. He immediately reverted to his true form. The hall of ministers showed sudden realization. Truth revealed—Cobra regained control.
"Please wait, sir." Seeing me about to leave—Cobra hurriedly called out.
"Hm? Something else?"
"Mr. Lin Xiu—I want to apologize for what happened before. It was all a misunderstanding." Cobra sat high on the throne—looking down—his attitude extremely grating.
"Mr. Lin Xiu—though it may be too much—I still want to ask you to act once more. Help us defeat Crocodile. Ordinary soldiers can't match him—let alone those unpredictable ability users." Vivi's tone was much more sincere.
"Princess Vivi—before asking someone for help—shouldn't you first fulfill your previous promise? Otherwise—how can anyone trust you?"
"I…" Vivi wanted to say more—but I cut her off.
"Cobra—as long as you agree to one condition—I'll promise to protect your kingdom—including eliminating Baroque Works and the remaining rebel threat. You should know—I have the strength to do it."
"Are you also after Pluton?" Cobra instantly became vigilant.
"Pluton? What's that? My goal has always been one thing only—Princess Vivi. The condition for protecting this country—is that Vivi joins my pirate crew—as my… subordinate!"
Of course I knew what Pluton was—one of the three Ancient Weapons—supposedly a warship. But I had zero interest—so I played dumb.
"No way—how could we let Vivi…"
"Fine—I accept." Before Cobra finished—Vivi already spoke up.
Hearing this—Cobra instantly deflated—as if he aged years. Without my help—ordinary troops couldn't oppose Baroque Works. He knew this clearly.
"Excellent. It's decided then—happily."
Led by servants—I moved back into a luxurious room. At my gesture—Vivi followed inside.
"Take off all your clothes." The moment the door closed—I spoke casually.
"What did you say!?" Vivi couldn't believe her ears.
"I said—take off all your clothes. You came to fulfill your previous promise—did you forget?"
"Mm… but… okay—I understand." Vivi wanted to say more—but seeing my dissatisfied look—she swallowed her words. Slowly—she began undressing.
The exquisite short dress slid to the floor—revealing pure white underwear. Snow-white skin—capable of dripping water—flushed faintly from shame.
"Keep going." Seeing Vivi pause—I urged with interest from the side.
Vivi—face burning red—finally reached behind her back—unhooked her bra. A pair of snow-white, round jade rabbits immediately bounced free—exposed to the air.
Before I could admire properly—Vivi already covered her chest with one arm—desperately trying to hide the overflowing spring scenery.
But how could slender arms conceal such massive breasts? Full, perky mounds squeezed and deformed—yet appeared even more swollen. Even the tender pink buds peeked through faintly.
The shame of nakedness made Vivi's face burn like fire. Under my urging—she could only move her free hand toward the small panties wrapping her perky ass.
Soft fabric slid down her curved hips and long legs—falling to the ground. Vivi finally stood completely defenseless before me. One hand covering her chest—the other blocking below—head lowered shyly—looking ready to be taken. I almost couldn't hold back from pouncing.
Suppressing the impulse—I crossed my arms—openly ogling the shy girl.
"Raise both hands—place them behind your head." Only when she looked ready to cry did I finally speak.
"Wh… what?" Vivi froze. Her hands were busy covering herself—how could she put them overhead?
"I'm not asking—this is an order!" I suddenly raised my voice.
Startled—Vivi instinctively raised her hands—palms stacked behind her head.
The result was obvious—the last defense gone. Round, upright giant breasts now completely exposed—no cover at all. Tender pink nipples stood erect from shame.
Only then did Vivi react—squealing—covering her chest again.
"Hands back up! Until I permit it—if your hands leave the back of your head—I will no longer help your country."
Hearing this—Vivi fell silent for a moment—then slowly raised her hands high again. In this shameful pose—she fully exposed her body's infinite spring scenery to my gaze.
I circled behind Vivi—hands suddenly grabbing the elastic breast flesh without warning.
"Ah No" Vivi twisted uncomfortably—but ultimately kept her hands raised.
I unceremoniously played with the breasts—sometimes roughly kneading the flesh—sometimes gently teasing the nipples—making the virgin girl scream repeatedly.
Under my skilled teasing—Vivi soon felt pleasure. Her protests gradually turned to moans laced with panting. Endless desire surged like a tide—constantly eroding the girl's reason.
Her body leaning against me twisted restlessly—anxious and bewildered by the increasingly intense unknown pleasure.
When my fingers reached between Vivi's thighs—searching for the swollen little bean in her wet slit—Vivi trembled—issuing a delighted, satisfied moan.
Under the hormone's effect—already burning with desire—Vivi couldn't withstand the strong clit stimulation. She quickly climaxed—moaning loudly.
Seizing the moment—I activated the Lewd Tattoo Imprint skill—branding a glowing red mysterious pattern on Vivi's lower abdomen.
