The human life force is quite tenacious.

For example, this Mr. 8, to be precise, should be the captain of the Kingdom of Alabastan Guard-Ikalem, this uncle with long curly hair was first slashed by Sauron, and then half killed by Mr. 5's booger bomb, but now he still came to the Straw Hats alive.

At this time, this uncle seemed to have awakened some bad attributes, and he put on a women's dress very similar to Princess Vivi, revealing the thick leg hair on his thighs, and his face was smeared with thick exaggerated foundation, and the somewhat scary lipstick on his lips was extremely chilling. He also had a few crudely made dummies in his hands, and according to him, he wanted to disguise himself as Vivi to lure away the Baroque killers.

"Is this the virtue of Princess Vivi in your heart? I don't think you want to lure away the killers, you want to scare them to death!" Sherlock left a few drops of cold sweat, and silently complained in his heart, Ikalem's current dignity is really too lethal.

"Ahem, mama~" Ikalem cleared his throat and asked Luffy, who admired his outfit, "Can you help me send Princess Vivi back to Alabastan?"

"Oh, yes. Luffy sat on a barrel and picked his nose and replied very dryly, just as he had promised to send Vivi and Mr. 9 back to Whiskey Mountain.

Hearing that the idiot captain of her own family actually agreed so barely, Nami, who had already collapsed, instantly went crazy, and she shouted angrily at Luffy, "Why don't you refuse!, don't you know that we are about to face the Seven Martial Seas??!!"

"Nanachikai, is that guy strong?" Luffy asked, tilting his neck at Ikalem.

Hearing this, Icalem nodded sternly, and he subconsciously wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his hand, and as a result, the foundation on his face was smeared.

Although the government canceled his bounty after being the Seven Martial Seas, his bounty was as high as 80 million Bailey before!"

"80 million?" Zoro touched his chin and turned his head to look at a man with glasses who was pondering on the side, and said with some confusion: "Isn't that 10 million Bailey higher than Sherlock?"

"No, there's no comparison," Sherlock pushed his glasses and explained to the crowd, "My bounty was as high as 70 million because I attacked a Navy Division, and the Navy defined me as a terrorist. ”

"Moreover, regardless of the bounty order, the World Government chose him to be the Seven Martial Seas, which is enough to prove the strength of the Sand Crocodile. ”

Nami looked at Sherlock pitifully, hoping that he, a "god teammate", would persuade Luffy. But all she got was a helpless look from Sherlock, which made the orange-haired navigator's heart fall to the bottom.

It's too late to say anything now, after all, the idiot captain has fully agreed, and looking at his excited look, he seems to be interested in fighting with the so-called Seven Martial Seas.

……

Seaside.

Taking the eternal pointer handed over by Vivi, Ikalem looked at the slim and beautiful princess in front of her with kind eyes, and couldn't help but feel that time had passed.

(Princess Vivi, you will be able to save the kingdom!) Ikalem thought to herself.

Then he stretched out his hand to Weiwei and said slowly, "When I'm not there, you must take care of yourself." ”

"Icalem ......" looked at the captain of the guard who had taken care of her from childhood to adulthood, the corners of Weiwei's eyes were a little moist, but as a strong princess, she still endured the sadness of parting, and showed a hearty smile, the blue-haired girl held the other party's big hand that was a little rough, and smiled:

"Well, you too, be careful! We'll see you in Alabastan. ”

Nodding, Icaram looked at the Straw Hats next to him, "Then, princess, please leave it to you!"

Luffy returned a big smile: "Of course!"

Yang Fan, set sail.

The ship carrying Ikalem and several stand-ins faded away.

"What an interesting uncle!" Luffy said as he looked at the already small ship. Although the people around him didn't know that he thought the uncle who was "playing a ghost" was funny.

"Yes. Princess Vivi nodded, calmed down, and said quietly: "So, I have always trusted him......

"Cut, that idiot!" Valentine's Day, who was still lying on Kalou's back in a very shameful position, pouted in disdain. The kilogram girl who felt that she had been abandoned by the organization seemed to have given up on herself, so she said to everyone with malice:

"When he goes back alone, it's like looking for death!"

Well, maybe this lemon-loving guy really has a talent for crow's mouth......

Vivi just wanted to turn her head to refute, but saw that Ikalem's ship suddenly erupted with a dazzling white light, which instantly illuminated half of the sky, and then she heard a loud bang, and a huge pillar of fire rose into the sky, and the raging fire was reflected in the sea like blood, and the faces of the people in the distance were full of consternation. The shock wave from the violent explosion was so strong that even from that distance, the aftermath of the explosion blew Luffy's straw hat away.

However, even stronger than the shock wave was the mental impact on the Straw Hats, who really didn't expect the Baroque killer to come so soon!

Luffy picked up the straw hat that had fallen to the ground with a stern face, and slowly put it on, his eyes were round, his eyes were full of determination, and then he roared and ran into the distance.

"The bomb must have been planted on the ship in advance......" Sherlock blushed at Miss. Valentine's Day, "Didn't you say that your boss only sent you two?!"

"I, I, I don't know, the boss's orders are very secretive, except for Miss.AllSunday and the person who accepts the assignment will not tell anyone else!" Miss Killer replied hesitantly, forced by Sherlock's momentum.

"Quack, quack!" The stupid duck, which was a little sluggish, let out a scream long after the explosion was over, and then took a step with the speed of a cheetah, and ran wildly into the distance, causing Miss. Valentine's Day to scream on its back.

The most amazing thing is that no matter how fast Karui ran along the way, he didn't throw out Miss Killer, whose hands and feet were tied. (Sherlock later learns that the object uses the fruit's ability to constantly change the center of gravity of the body to maintain balance.) ）

"Miss.allsunday?" Sherlock pushed his glasses, ignoring Miss. Valentine's Day, who was being carried away by Kaw. He looked out to sea, and the extremely transparent lenses that had been wiped out clearly reflected the fire on the sea.

"It's too cruel for a princess to witness the death of her own loved ones......" Silently thinking in his heart, Sherlock turned to look at Vivi, and his heart slammed.

"No, how could it be...... Is the killer already here??!!" Nami covered her mouth with a little trembling.

"Damn, we must set sail immediately" Zoro quickly adjusted his mentality, and he asked Nami with a solemn face, "Hey, Nami, has the record of the pointer been saved?"

"Ahh Nami nodded, and then said to Vivi, who was already standing still, with an anxious face, "Vivi, let's go, if even we are discovered, then Ikalem's sacrifice will be in vain."

However, when Nami looked at the latter's face, she was stunned.

The princess stood there helplessly, staring at the distant ship looming in the firelight, the sea breeze that was a little hot from the explosion blowing her long aqua blue hair, she bit her lip so hard that a trace of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth, and the bright red blood matched her bloodless white skin, showing a sickly and cruel beauty.

Maybe it's because the pain in her heart is better than the pain on the **, she didn't realize that her lips had been bitten by herself.

But the most surprising thing is that Vivi didn't cry, and her big gray eyes didn't shed even a single tear.

“…………”

Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly, and Vivi reminded him of himself when he was a child.

At that time, Sherlock, who was only fourteen years old, was helplessly looking at the sea alone after hearing that his parents had been killed, and Sherlock, who had lost his parents, resisted the urge to cry and stood on the beach all night with a very numb expression. Then Sherlock resolutely took over the mess of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce on the verge of bankruptcy the next day......

Faced with the death of a loved one, ordinary people may have already wailed, but Vivi and Sherlock did not cry at that time.

Because, what they carry is too heavy.

Because, they have to be strong!

"This princess is really strong...... Nami looked at Vivi's pitiful appearance, and felt very uncomfortable, as a person who had lived with the lives of the entire village, she understood Vivi's mood at this time.

At this time, she just wanted to walk over and hold the poor princess in her arms to comfort her, but Nami was just about to act, but someone else took the lead.

Sherlock hugged Vivi and pressed the girl's little head into his arms, and while gently patting Vivi's back, he whispered comfort in her ear:

"Don't worry, we'll get you back to Alabastan safely!" Sherlock's tone was as flat as usual, but the determination in his words could be heard by both of them.

Nami looked at Sherlock, who had behaved very strangely, and was puzzled. But when she looked into the dark eyes under those glasses like broken stars at midnight, Nami, a "mind-reader", seemed to understand something.

"Looks like you have some unknown past, Sherlock......" Nami thought to herself, and then she settled down and comforted Vivi:

"Yes, yes, we'll do everything we can to protect you!"

"Don't look at Luffy, although they are very unreliable, but they have saved the East China Sea with the strength of a few people!"

"Not to mention this bespectacled one, he's a terrorist with a bounty of 70 million Baileys for the first time!"

"What is Baroque! What is the Seven Martial Seas! What is a sand crocodile! In front of these guys, there is no way to see enough!"

Nami's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word seemed to be carved into Vivi's heart with a carving knife, making her eyes gradually brighten.

"Hehe, I really don't know who was scared by the Seven Martial Seas just now and couldn't stand......" The corners of Sherlock's mouth turned up slightly, and then he looked at the blue-haired girl who was trembling slightly in his arms because of the emotion, and said lightly:

"yes, what are the Seven Martial Seas?"
