"Yosh, if that's the case, I'm going to send that guy flying!!!"
Luffy looked eager to try.
Zoro said nothing, just gripped his swords tightly, clearly also ready.
"Alright!"
Nami finally accepted the reality. Just as she was firmly solidifying her resolve internally,
a very faint sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Princess Vivi, who had returned to normal, cautiously approaching.
"Could you trouble you to send me back??"
She somewhat shyly made this request, which sounded a bit excessive.
"Of course, no problem."
Luffy looked at Vivi, who seemed a bit wary in front of them, and immediately agreed.
"We can send you back to Alabasta."
Nami immediately reverted to her usual sweet demeanor, her voice soft and gentle.
"Really? Then... then thank you all so much!"
Vivi kept thanking them. She had originally prepared to be rejected.
But seeing Luffy and Nami immediately agree to her request, Vivi was incredibly moved.
Thus, the mission to escort Vivi was happily decided.
After all, even Luffy, as the Captain, had no objections, so his crew members certainly wouldn't.
Reno and the others took a short rest here and enjoyed a rich lunch.
Then they thoroughly plundered the place.
Anyway, these Bounty Hunters aren't good people, so doing this won't bring any guilt to anyone.
After thoroughly looting the place, everyone was satisfied and boarded the going merry to set sail.
On the going merry, besides Princess Vivi and her guard Captain Igaram, there was also Princess Vivi's pet.
The desert land duck – Karoo.
However, the atmosphere on the going merry was a bit strange at this moment.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Igaram, their expressions very peculiar.
"Igaram, are you really going to do this?"
"Uncle, what are you doing? Why are you wearing the same clothes as Vivi?"
Luffy tilted his head, looking confused and puzzled by this scene.
Immediately after, Igaram revealed his plan.
He wanted to disguise himself as Princess Vivi to draw the enemy's fire.
Uh... while everyone admired his courage, could this burly appearance really fool the enemy into thinking he was Vivi?
Unless the other party was as idiotic as Luffy.
However, thinking about how Igaram eventually returned safely to Alabasta and even accomplished something,
Reno let him do as he pleased and didn't say much.
"But is it really okay?"
Looking at the lonely ship getting further and further away from them, Princess Vivi couldn't help but worry about him.
"Don't worry, Vivi, it should be fine."
"Don't forget we've already defeated the enemies who were tracking you."
Nami, clutching the gold and silver treasures she had just plundered, comforted her.
"I hope so."
