Second Island
"The boss and the others are really impressive."
Christmas sat there, flipping through a newspaper, his legs crossed in denim jeans, looking relaxed.
"They actually killed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Including Crocodile, that's already the second one, right?"
Cecilia wiped the sweat from her brow and walked over to Christmas, sitting down beside him and taking a sip from her cup.
"Ace has a bounty of eight hundred million, the boss has a bounty of two hundred fifty million, and Heckler has a bounty of two hundred million."
Christmas clicked his tongue. "Together, they’re worth a total of one billion two hundred fifty million Berries. That's just incredible."
"If you’re willing to let me go..."
From a distance, Lucci suddenly spoke up. "I can offer you enough reward."
"Do you think we would believe you?" Cecilia shot him a sideways glance.
Lucci replied, "You can release Califa first, keep us here, and then wait for her to gather the money before coming back."
"I really like money," Christmas said lazily. "But if I wanted money, I could have gotten an unimaginable amount by now."
Having eaten the Gate-Gate Fruit, Christmas could access many hidden places in the world. If he wanted money, he could simply find a vault and take it all.
She liked money, but when it came too easily, she didn't value it as much.
"You've got the wrong target; money doesn't mean much to us," Cecilia said, sitting there and resting.
"I can offer you many things, like the Six Styles, allowing you to master them in advance," Lucci replied.
"There's no need."
Cecilia glanced at Lucci and said, "If you want to learn the Six Styles, it's better to wait until the boss has mastered them before you do."
"Is that so?"
Lucci looked at Cecilia and said, "But if this continues, I might not give you the Six Styles. If you're willing to let me go, I can give you what you want."
"You've misunderstood something."
Cecilia stood up and walked in front of Lucci, smiling as she said, "What I want most is not the Six Styles, but Haki."
"Furthermore, we know your kind very well. As part of the World Government's intelligence division, your credibility is simply too poor."
Cecilia continued, "More importantly, the boss has done me a favor; I could never betray him. So I advise you not to waste your time."
Hearing this, Lucci sighed.
But just at that moment, a tremendous sound echoed from afar, booming through the air.
Cecilia looked into the distance, where a massive figure appeared. Not far off, there was also a Sea Vessel, on which stood Heckler.
"President."
Cecilia approached Xiaqiu with a smile and said, "I knew you would be fine."
"President, you're back." Christmas also ran over and stood beside Xiaqiu.
"It seems like you all are okay?" Xiaqiu shook his body, shaking off the water.
"That's thanks to me. When I arrived, they were just about to make their move," Christmas said proudly.
"You did well."
Xiaqiu nodded and then asked, "What about the Navy's movements next?"
"We haven't rashly contacted Princess Vivi."
Cecilia replied, "But we received some information from Bola that Ina's Black Cage Fleet has arrived there. Moreover, there is a Vice Admiral named Peach Rabbit stationed there."
"Is it really her?"
Xiaqiu was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected her to show up. Her strength should surpass that of most Vice Admirals, and she was skilled in swordsmanship. Xiaqiu knew she was no match for her.
Cecilia said, "Vivi left a contact channel. If anything happens, we can reach her through Drum Kingdom, especially after your safety is assured."
"I understand. Just let Heckler know the contact method, and he will be responsible for reaching out," Xiaqiu instructed. She then turned to Heckler and added, "We're quite far from Island Five, and there might be Navy using black Transponder Snails to eavesdrop nearby, so you'll have to handle contacting Ace and the others."
Ace, Hogback, and Perona remained at Island Five because Hogback and Perona were not entirely trustworthy yet. It was better for Ace to keep an eye on them from the farthest island.
Although Perona's ghosts couldn't touch Ace, she had a physical body that Ace could attack directly.
No matter where Perona hid on the island, Xiaqiu could still strike at her.
"I understand," Heckler replied immediately.
Xiaqiu continued, "First, take the submarine and send Christmas back to Drum Kingdom. He's been out here for too long; he needs to return."
"Got it."
Heckler promptly took Christmas away, and the two disappeared into the distance.
"What do you need me to do next?" Cecilia asked curiously.
"You can't go out for now."
Xiaqiu issued the command, saying, "Stay here and participate in the watch. Additionally, I will start teaching you Haki."
"Haki?" Cecilia rubbed her hands together, filled with anticipation.
Xiaqiu stepped back to the center of the arena and looked at Lucci, smiling as he said, "Long time no see. Have you tried to escape?"
"Even this can't kill you," Lucci replied.
"Killing me isn't that easy," Xiaqiu said with a grin.
Lucci looked at Xiaqiu seriously and said, "Although Baroque Works has been eradicated, its elite forces remain intact. Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, they have slipped back underground. Not only that, but you've also successfully shifted Baroque Works into the hands of your subordinates. Impressive."
Xiaqiu lay there lazily and replied, "It's good that you can see all this."
"But creating such a big stir means the World Government will definitely hunt you down. I want to see how long you can hold out," Lucci remarked.
"Then let's wait and see."
Xiaqiu smiled, closed his eyes, and began to rest.
"So you want me to teach you?"
In a luxurious suite in Las Vegas, Peach Rabbit looked at Vivi in surprise.
"That's right."
Vivi replied earnestly, "You can't stay here forever, and this is my own country. So I definitely want Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit to teach me, so that I can protect this nation."
"Don't you have the Sand-Sand Fruit?"
Peach Rabbit asked Vivi, "Isn't that originally Crocodile's ability? If you harness the power of that fruit, your strength shouldn't be weak, right?"
Vivi shook her head with a wry smile. "My ability has its drawbacks; once I encounter water, I can't turn into sand. Now the Navy knows about this fruit's weakness."
"But I have no intention of taking on a student." Peach Rabbit frowned, not expecting her to make such a request.
"Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit, what if you leave and don't teach me?" Vivi said anxiously. "Besides, I'm doing this to cooperate with the Navy..."
"It's all Aokiji's fault."
Peach Rabbit looked at Vivi helplessly and asked, "How old are you now?"
"Sixteen."
Vivi answered honestly, saying that she had infiltrated Baroque Works when she was fourteen, and it had been two years since then.
"Is that so?" Peach Rabbit said, somewhat surprised. "At just sixteen, you can run a casino and even have Devil Fruit powers. You're quite mature for your age."
"I would rather not be this way," Vivi replied, lowering her head.
Peach Rabbit nodded. A princess of a nation, in her tender years, yet forced to do such things. She then said, "Come with me. I will test your physical abilities, and if you're capable, I will teach you some things."
"Thank you, Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit," Vivi exclaimed excitedly.
