Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Eight: Bola
As dawn broke, the sun rose slowly, its rays spreading through the clouds and illuminating the surrounding sea.
On the tranquil Surface of the Sea, a figure was aboard a Sea Vessel, heading towards a distant island.
Standing at the bow of the ship was a woman with fluffy blue hair and a curvaceous body, her ample chest wrapped in brown lingerie.
She stood there, gazing at the distant island with a hint of confusion.
This island was located near Alabasta, desolate and uninhabited, having been searched by the Navy multiple times without any results.
But how could Nico Robin have evaded the Navy's search to reach this island? And how did she manage to summon herself here for a meeting?
Bola couldn't make sense of it. As the Sea Vessel slowly approached the shore, she instructed the Bounty Hunter disguised as a fisherman to wait behind. With a leap, she jumped off the Coast.
Before her lay a dense forest, and she ventured into it, moving deeper into the woods.
"The meeting point is deep within the forest," Bola thought about the call from Nico Robin as she continued onward.
After walking for some time, she entered a clearing where an enormous creature appeared before her.
"It’s Nico Robin’s giant beast."
Bola halted in her tracks, scanning her surroundings for any sign of Nico Robin but found nothing.
"Where is your master?"
Bola looked at the giant beast, curiosity evident in her voice.
"Is yours Nico Robin?"
The giant beast slowly replied, "She is not my master."
"She's not your master?"
Bola instinctively responded, then froze, staring at the giant beast in disbelief. "You... you can talk?"
"That's not a difficult thing."
Xiaqiu glanced at the figure before them and said, "There's no need to be so surprised."
Bola's mouth dropped open as she looked at Xiaqiu. "What on earth is going on? Why isn't Nico Robin here?"
Xiaqiu met her gaze and explained, "Nico Robin is wanted and cannot come here."
"So you came in her place?" Bola asked Xiaqiu.
"That's right. I came to find you because there's something we need to do."
"What is it?" Bola asked, intrigued.
Xiaqiu looked at the other person and said, "You know that Nico Robin is now wanted, and her identity has been exposed. It's no longer suitable for her to continue as the Vice President of Baroque Works."
"What do you mean?" Bola asked, looking at Xiaqiu.
Xiaqiu grinned and replied, "So I plan to make you the Vice President of Baroque Works. What do you think?"
"Me? As Vice President?"
Bola frowned, then realized a problem. "Wait, why do you have the authority to make me Vice President?"
After asking this question, Bola's face turned pale with horror. "No, no way."
Xiaqiu snorted and asked, "Why not?"
Bola couldn't believe it. "You're R? R isn't a person; it's a giant beast!"
Xiaqiu looked at Bola and responded, "Hasn't anyone ever mentioned that R is human?"
"You're right."
Bola suddenly understood and continued, "No wonder R never appears in front of people. Aside from the Vice President, no one has ever known his identity. It turns out R is a giant beast. And since Nico Robin became Vice President, she has been traveling with you. It's rumored that you were the one who killed Crocodile."
"So now you know."
Xiaqiu let out a rumbling sound but sighed inwardly, thinking how imaginative Bola was; there was no need for further explanation.
"Is it really like this? Is it really like this?"
Bola was still in disbelief, staring at Xiaqiu with a dazed expression.
Xiaqiu looked at her and gently asked, "So what do you think? Are you willing to become the Vice President of Baroque Works and be my partner?"
"I..."
Bola hesitated. The truth was so shocking that it made it difficult for her to think about what to do next.
Xiaqiu inquired, "What are you worried about? Does it matter whether I'm human or not? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust yourself?"
"I... I don't not trust you."
Bola shook her head. This giant beast was incredibly powerful, capable of killing Crocodile, sinking Naval Battleships, and even killing a Commodore and a Colonel.
Such strength was undeniable, and his identity as a giant beast served as the best cover.
Even if the Navy was pursuing Nico Robin and she couldn't come here, he could still traverse the ocean to meet her.
As for herself, Bola believed that her own strength would not pose much of a problem in becoming Vice President.
Moreover, whether he was human or not was indeed irrelevant.
It was precisely because he wasn't human and couldn't appear in front of others that the position of Vice President became all the more precious.
In a sense, the Vice President represents Baroque Works.
Bola felt a hint of intention and then asked Xiaqiu, "Do you remember the purpose of Baroque Works?"
"The purpose? Are you referring to establishing the Ideal Nation?"
Bola looked at Xiaqiu and realized something. "You want to rule a country, to serve you? But honestly, it is impossible for a giant beast to become the ruler of a nation; the people would never agree."
Xiaqiu smiled and said, "Who said I want to be the ruler? I can exist as the protector of the nation, as long as I can get what I desire. As for who the ruler is, I don't care."
"That's it."
Bola stared at Xiaqiu, asking in a daze, "Anyone could be."
Xiaqiu nodded. "Of course. In fact, even if you can't become the ruler, I believe your position as Vice President won't be low in the future."
Bola's eyes sparkled with interest. Xiaqiu looked at her and asked, "Are you willing to be my partner?"
These assassins, the Bounty Hunters, gathered together and joined Baroque Works, willing to hand over their earnings to Baroque Works.
It was all because of the plan for the Ideal Nation—to establish an ideal realm and become part of it.
In the Ideal Nation, positions were determined by rank; the higher the rank, the higher the position.
The Vice President was already the highest position within Baroque Works aside from the President.
"Bola" nodded and said, "I am willing."
"Xiaqiu" smiled and replied, "That's great. From now on, you will be my contact person."
"I will do my best," "Bola" said earnestly.
"Xiaqiu" continued, "But you must remember, no one knows my true identity except for you. So you need to inform them."
"Don't worry, I will keep that in mind," "Bola" said with a smile.
"Xiaqiu" nodded and said, "Nico Robin has already informed the other Senior Agents about your information. Now everyone knows about the change in the Vice President's position. From now on, you will communicate with them on my behalf. However, before that, we need to wait for someone. Let your subordinates leave before he arrives."
"Alright."
"Bola" instructed her subordinates to set sail, leaving her alone behind.
In the afternoon, a figure walked deep into the forest and upon seeing "Bola," widened his eyes in surprise. "You... you are issdub1efinr?"
"Bola" worked as a waitress at the Spider Cafe, which was the headquarters of Baroque Works.
Most people thought of "Bola" as just a waitress.
"Bola" smiled and said, "Feng, that's right. I am issdub1efinr."
"I can't believe it! I've seen you many times and thought you were just an ordinary person."
Feng Kelei walked into the room and said to Bola, "Nico Robin told me that from now on, you are the Vice President of Baroque Works. The submarine is also entrusted to you."
"Okay."
Bola and Xiaqiu followed Feng Kelei to the coast, where a peculiar pink vessel was docked. It floated on the water's surface, featuring a deck and rooms, with two masts and sails.
The structure above resembled that of a ship, but below was a submarine.
It could sail both on the water's surface and underwater.
"Come with me."
Feng Kelei led Bola into the submarine for a tour.
After a full half hour, they emerged. Feng Kelei left the submarine and boarded another pirate ship, waving his hands. "I'll be waiting for you to come play with me."
"Goodbye, Feng."
Bola waved at Feng Kelei as he departed. Once he was gone, Bola jumped off the ship and walked over to Xiaqiu. "This submarine can accommodate twelve people and has a specialized oxygen generator, allowing for extended underwater operations. The mast has an air intake; as long as part of it is above water, it can draw in air. There are four trained crew members inside who can assist with navigation."
Xiaqiu nodded and asked, "What powers the ship when it's moving underwater?"
"Coke."
Bola replied with an odd expression. "It uses a propeller for propulsion underwater, and the fuel is Coke. Without relying on wind power for low sailing, one barrel of Coke can keep it sailing for eight hours."
"Cola?"
Xiaqiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know who built this Submarine?"
Bola replied, "This Submarine was originally impossible to create, but a guy named Franky found it interesting. He referenced the ideas proposed by Bega Punk and built this Submarine."
"I see."
Xiaqiu smiled and said, "Then let's go inside the ship and head out together."
"Okay."
Bola boarded the submarine, stowed away the sails, and then the submarine slowly sank, following Xiaqiu as they headed into the distance.
