Crocodile is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!
Then it's fine.
Even Mihawk is no match for Reno, so Crocodile is at most on the same level as Mihawk.
This was the common thought of all The girls at this moment.
Crocodile: Thank you for thinking so highly of me.
"Captain, can you really help me get rid of Crocodile?!" Vivi's voice was urgent, as if grasping at a lifeline.
If Reno's people could infiltrate an organization as tightly guarded as Baroque Works, and even lurk by Crocodile's side...
Then wouldn't Reno's strength be even greater?!
Compared to crushing Crocodile's conspiracy and saving countless people from suffering, joining the Reno Pirates was nothing at all.
"Just a small alligator," Reno sneered.
Giving Crocodile face by calling him a fifty-fifty, he really thought he was a fifty-fifty.
If he didn't beat the alligator shit out of him, then he'd consider him clean.
"If that's the case, I'm willing to join your Pirate Crew." Vivi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her tear-stained, pretty face filled with determination.
At the age of 14, she concealed her identity as a princess and infiltrated the perilous Baroque Works to investigate the mastermind.
But even after knowing who the mastermind was, she had no ability to seek revenge.
Now, the opportunity was right before her eyes. As long as she could save Alabasta, she would not hesitate.
This was her responsibility as a princess.
"Alabasta is truly fortunate to have a princess like you." Makino stepped forward, gently embracing Vivi, and comforted her softly, "Vivi, don't worry. When the Captain brought you to Twin Capes, he already intended to help you."
"Ah?!" Vivi was clearly stunned.
Reno rubbed his forehead and chuckled, "Don't make me sound like a savior. Regardless, Vivi still has to join the Pirate Crew."
"As for Crocodile, that guy is indeed a bit arrogant. This time, I'll just conveniently skin his alligator hide."
"Vivi, we're family now. I'm Nami, the navigator of the Reno Pirates."
"I'm Kaya, the doctor of the Reno Pirates."
"I'm Tashigi, the swordsman of the Reno Pirates."
"..."
The girls enthusiastically introduced themselves.
Vivi looked at them, utterly bewildered.
Are they all so familiar?
Especially Nami, who had been so fierce towards her just now.
In the blink of an eye, she was like a sweet older sister.
"I'm Vivi, please take care of me, older sisters."
Although she was grumbling internally, Vivi still responded politely.
"Carmen, go make some food. Vivi must be very hungry now."
Gurgle
Gurgle
As if to confirm Reno's words, Vivi's stomach rumbled cooperatively, and The girls' face immediately flushed.
She was indeed very hungry.
"Little sister, wait here. I'll go make it right away." Carmen dotingly stroked Vivi's head, and soon sounds came from the kitchen.
"Kaya, take Vivi to take a bath and change her clothes."
Vivi had worn heavy makeup and eye-catching clothes to infiltrate Baroque Works.
"Okay, Reno." Kaya nodded obediently, took Vivi's hand, and led her towards the bathroom.
Vivi was in a state of bewilderment the entire time. Is this the Reno Pirates?!
How is it so different from the Pirate Crew she knew?!
But... it seems pretty good.
Whiskey Peak.
This place gathered a large number of Bounty Hunters, specializing in hunting down passing pirates.
Over the years, countless unsuspecting pirates have been killed and laid to rest permanently.
Reno steered the going merry to a slow descent, with people already surrounding both sides.
Looking at the island cloud, everyone's eyes held a subtle expression, but they quickly concealed it.
Then, they enthusiastically waved to Reno and the others.
"Hahahahaha... Everyone, you must be tired from your journey. Come and rest here for a while."
"Everyone, this is a pirate's paradise! We have everything you could want, guaranteeing you'll have a good time!!"
"You will have an unforgettable time here!!"
"This place can cure insomnia."
"..."
Cheers rose and fell continuously.
Unknowing pirates would truly believe this was a town welcoming them.
"Everyone, be careful. They specialize in hunting down passing pirates. We've already become their targets."
Vivi, who had removed her heavy makeup and changed into new clothes, covered her mouth and quietly warned everyone.
But as she spoke, her face flushed, as she herself had been one of them before.
"These guys are really good at pretending." Nami looked at the surrounding crowd with a playful expression.
But thinking about it, that's their livelihood.
If they weren't convincing, they would have starved to death long ago.
"Let's go take a look."
The going merry docked by the shore, and Reno led The girls ashore one after another.
A subtle, hard-to-detect glint flashed in everyone's eyes, and then they stepped forward to welcome Reno and the others.
"Brave warriors of the sea, congratulations on arriving here."
"All pirates who come to this town receive our warmest welcome. Applause!!!"
Clap clap clap
Thunderous applause!
It was so enthusiastic; no wonder other pirates fell for it.
Just then, the dense crowd parted, and a man with golden wavy hair walked out from the middle.
He immediately spotted Princess Vivi in the crowd and gave her an approving look.
The next second, he feigned surprise and said, "Miss. Wednesday, are these all friends you brought?!"
"You've done very well; you should let them feel our enthusiasm!"
Nami couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Kaya and the other girls also smiled.
Vivi covered her face in embarrassment, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Mr. Igaram, please stop talking; the jig is already up."
"It's so embarrassing."
