NOVEL WEB Chapter 69: CH 69
"If that's the case, we'll gladly escort you home." Nami said. "We just ask for a small fee for our services: One Billion Berries."
"A billion?!" she and Igaram said in unison.
"Isn't that a bit much?" Gin asked.
"What?" Nami said with a smile. "She's royalty. Surely you have that much, don't you?"
"How's he doing that?" Zoro said, getting everyone to look where he was. Miss Valentine's Day was now on the ground and running away from Luffy.
"Doing what?" Yosaku asked. "TEMPEST KICK!" Luffy shouted before kicking at the woman, sending what looked like a flying blade at her. She ducked just before it hit, leaving the attack to go through a building. Nothing happened at first, but the building slowly slid in half where his attack hit.
"WHAT ARE YOU?!" she shouted, now terrified of Luffy to the point of crawling away from him.
"Just really strong." he said with a smile. He looked down at her as that feeling came again.
"This is...humiliating." Mr. 5 said as he struggled to stand up and glare at Luffy before charging at him. He was rolling up his sleeves with the intent of hitting Luffy with another bomb punch. He was close enough and threw a punch, only for Luffy to bend and avoid it.
"Paper Art." Luffy said before spinning around and smashing his elbow into his face, knocking him out cold. "Alright big bro!" Johnny cheered. Luffy stood there before looking down at Miss Valentine's Day.
"And you?" he asked as he gave her a cold glare. She stared back in fear before looking at Mr. 5. She then sighed and lowered her head.
"I give up."

After restraining Miss Valentine's Day, everyone left the battleground to sit and talk to Vivi.
"So you're really a princess?" Mr. 9 asked.
"Yes. I'm Vivi Nerfetari, Princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta." Vivi said, now looking like how Luffy remembered her, without a stuck up look and her bangs in front of her forehead.
"So what's a princess doing working for an underground organization?" Zoro asked. "Bored with the life of royalty?"
"It's not that." she said with a sad tone. She then told them about how her country was in a civil war, which was slowly leading the country into self-destruction, how she decided to do something about which led to her and her companion Igaram infiltrated Baroque Works to find out who was pulling the strings behind for the past two years.
"You're pretty tough for a princess." Zoro said. He remembered what Luffy told them all earlier about what the royal family from his home island did and couldn't help but respect her. "So, what is it that they're planning?"
"At first, it was an ideal nation." Igaram said as they looked at him.
"But that was a lie." Vivi said. "It's real goal is to take over Alabasta. If I don't return home and warn my people, it'll be too late."
"That's the real reason?" Miss Valentine's Day said. "Yes." Vivi replied. "Whatever you've been told was probably a lie."
"Shit." she said, now looking upset at being lied to.
"Guess you wouldn't have much money with your country as it is." Nami said.
"So who's behind the whole thing?" Alvida asked.
"THE BOSS?!" Vivi shrieked. "Don't ask!"
'So that's the secret Mr. 0 was talking about.' Miss Valentine's Day thought.
"So you do know huh?" Gin said.
"Yes, but you shouldn't ask!" Vivi shouted.
"Then we'll drop it." Nami said laughing nervously. "If this guy's trying to take over a whole country, then I'd rather not get on his bad side."
"No one would." Vivi said. "No matter how strong you all are, you'd be no match for one of the Seven Warlords! Not against Crocodile." Everyone stared at her for a few moments as they let it sink in. Luffy wanted to laugh at Vivi's slip of the tongue.
"Crocodile?" Luffy said, causing Vivi and Nami to turn white as she covered her mouth.
"Wow you've got a big mouth." Zoro said before everyone noticed an otter and a vulture looking down at them before flying away. Nami went ballistic and began shaking Vivi by her jacket and yelling at her while Vivi kept saying she was sorry.
"A...Warlord?" Miss Valentine's Day, Miss Monday, and Mr. 9 said in utter horror.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Alvida said as she covered her eyes with her hand in frustration.
"AHH! Big Bro, what's wrong?" Johnny screamed while Yosaku panicked. Everyone looked to see that Gin had fallen over with a smile on his face, which was slowly turning blue.
"It hasn't even been a full fucking day." he said in shock. "First Mihawk, now another one?" All of the crew looked at him, knowing that hearing that they have a Warlord on their backs was bringing back some bad memories. "This can't be happening."
"That's not good." Nojiko said as Nami kept going ape shit on Vivi before covering her eyes and crying.
"This can't be happening." she said.
"What do you know? A Warlord huh?" Zoro said with a grin.
"Sounds like fun." Luffy said.
"SHUT UP!" Nami shouted before she started walking away and dragging Nojiko along. "Nice knowing you guys!" she shouted back. "Where you two going?" Yosaku asked.
"They don't know what we look like, so the two of us are out of here." she said before she noticed the otter from before had come back. He then showed a drawn picture for each of them present. "Hey, that's pretty good." Nami said before they both flew away and she screamed back at them. "NOW WE CAN'T RUN ANYWHERE!" That seemed to have been the last straw before she curled up into a ball on the ground and cried.
"I've got around 500,000 in my savings if you'd like." Vivi told her, trying to make her feel better.
