After a long night's trek, Long Fei and the others finally arrived at the place where the Merry was located in the upper reaches of the Sandora River at dawn. "It's finally been you, long time no see." Mr. 2 stood on the side of the ship and greeted the crowd warmly, completely unaware of the life-and-death struggle a few days ago. However, Long Fei and the others were saying goodbye to the running duck who sent them over one by one, completely ignoring Mr.2." You've gone too far with him, and it's not like he's a friend at all. "The attitude of the Straw Hats to ignore themselves. Mr.2 is quite dissatisfied. "I think we seemed to be enemies, when did we become friends. Hey, who of you has made friends with him. Long Fei looked at the rest of the people suspiciously. It's not me" "I'm not interested in making friends with shemales. "Don't talk about the past, after all, it was each his own master. But now that the Baroque Workshop has closed down, we are no longer enemies. Mr. 2 sat down and said. If not the enemy, then why are you on our ship. "Obviously, Luffy didn't bring the matter to light up because of Mr. 2's words." You're really impersonal" "What do you say. "Listen, if I hadn't gotten on your ship, do you know what would have happened to this ship?" Mr.2 asks Luffy rhetorically. "It might be taken away by the Navy." Nami's answer surprised Luffy. "It's not possible, it's definite." Mr. 2 corrected. "Do you know what the island is in right now?" M.2 continued. "The Navy has blocked the coast." Long Fei replied directly. "How do you know?" Mr.2 was surprised, "If you think about this kind of thing a little, you will know that pull, hey, let's." Long Fei carried a box and walked up to the Merry. Well? "At the same time that Long Fei stepped on the Meili, Long Fei seemed to notice something and frowned slightly, but soon let go, as if he hadn't found anything." So, did you help us keep the Golden Merry from the Navy? "Luffy." Why? Usopp and Chopper asked in unison, Mr. 2's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "Because we're friends." "Then Luffy, Usopp and Chopper, the three naïve guys, were immediately moved by Mr. 2's words, and then these four guys danced like a good version of the brothers." In other words, Mr. 2, since the navy has blocked the nearby seas, you can't leave the island, so you want to increase your companions. "Who knows, Zoro's words exposed Mr. 2's true purpose. And Luffy, who was still dancing with Mr.2, heard the reason and threw Mr.2 away directly. "Yes, it's this time, it's this kind of time. Let's fight together in the name of friendship. Mr. 2 said passionately, with tears in his eyes. Good!!!! The three of Luffy were once again captured by Mr. 2's passionate words. And Long Fei watched the performance of the four people, was silent for a while, and spit out a sentence: "Four neuropaths." "At this time, Captain Tina, the 'Black Supervisor', also received a report of the discovery of the Merry...... On the sea. At this time, the Merry and Mr. 2's Swan were surrounded by Navy warships. Eight warships fired their guns in four directions at the Merry, but instead of shells, they fired thick round iron guns. "Water escape. Water Array Wall. "Long Fei quickly sealed. A large curtain of water rose around the Merry, stopping the iron guns that were fired. At this time, it is not known whether Usopp was lucky or the navy was unlucky. One of Usopp's shells happened to hit the naval warship that was about to attack the Merry. As a result, it was directly sunk by this shell. The warship next to it was sunk as well. As a result, a gap was opened in the south. At the same time, Tina's warship from the 'Black Prison' arrived. "What are you doing, hurry up and get away. As long as you rush out of the southern point, you can escape with minimal losses. If you continue like this, you will be killed sooner or later," Mr. 2 said anxiously to the Straw Hats. "If you want to go, you can go, we can't go." Luffy said with a calm expression. "Why can't you go?" Luffy's answer puzzled Mr. 2. "12 noon. We've made an appointment, there's no time to take a detour, we have to go straight," Nami said. "You leave quickly, the main target of the navy is us, and there is a high probability that you will escape." Long Fei also said. "It's really stupid, is there a treasure more precious than life waiting for you? Then go and die yourselves. Mr. 2 turned around and was about to leave. For some people, life is the most precious thing. But for us, there is something in this world that is more important than the families of life. "Long Feidao." We're going to meet our partners. Luffy's words made Mr.2, who was about to leave, stop. For the sake of their friends," "Miss Tina, they parted ways, and the duck boat went south. A sailor reported to Tina. The duck boat should be the bait. "No, the Straw Hats are on the duck boat. The bait is a sheep boat. "Chase me, set up again right now," Tina ordered. Then all the warships abandoned the Merry and went straight after the duck ship. However, when Tina intercepted the Duck, she found that there were no Straw Hats on the ship, all of them were Mr. 2's fruit abilities. At this time, the Merry began to move rapidly towards the east. At this time, Tina knew that she had been tricked, no matter how stupid she was. After that, Mr. 2 and his subordinates engaged in a heroic battle with the Navy. The end result was the annihilation of Mr. 2's side.

"They're catching up." Although Mr. 2's self-sacrifice did not allow the Merry to fight for time to leave, how could the small sailing ship of the Merry outpace the Navy warship. Soon, the navy caught up again. "It's impossible to get past the Navy warships at the speed of the Merry, and we won't have time to pick up Vivi until we get rid of them." Looking at the naval warship that was getting closer and closer, Long Fei said. "But how do you send them?" Zoro asked. "Leave this to me, you can just keep sailing." After speaking, Long Fei jumped directly onto the sea and ran quickly towards the chasing navy. "Alright, the pursuers are temporarily settled, let's leave quickly." At this time, the three naval warships that had originally caught up had stopped at sea. Long Fei's method is very simple, that is, to run to the navy warship and put all those navies down. And there is no one to steer the ship, so the ship can only stop there. Soon after, several warships led by Tina arrived. "Why didn't these three warships chase the Straw Hats, stopping here and still blocking the way forward? Tina was dissatisfied, but Tina's question was quickly answered. "Miss Tina, everyone on the ship has been cut down. And the ship's power system was also destroyed and it was already incapacitated. At this time, a Navy member reported to Tina. Don't worry about the boat, just go around and chase the straw hat for a while. Tina won't let you escape. Tina ordered decisively.

At nearly 12 o'clock in the morning, the Merry arrived at the agreed place with Vivi, 'Tamalisk', which would be Vivi's last chance to get on board. At the same time, Weiwei's national speech has also begun. "You hear it, this speech is indeed Vivi's voice." Solon Road. "It's just a ritual played in Albana. She had already decided not to come. Sanji has a flue in his mouth. No, it's just that it sounds like Vivi. Luffy said, "Die, Vivi is the only heir to the Alabastan royal family, and she is deeply loved by the people. She will become the queen of the country in the future. What's more, after the war in Alabastan, it is time for all kinds of waste to be restored. Vivi would not be able to abandon her people at this time, and leave with us. Long Fei leaned on the pole of the boat and persuaded him. Tamalisk is here. Luffy asked. Ah, that's right. "Let's go, it's past 12 o'clock." Sanji looked at the time and said. "Wait a minute, why won't she come, let's go down and find out." Luffy still didn't give up, or didn't want to believe this fact because he hadn't heard Vivi's answer with his own ears. "We don't have time to stop the ship because the navy has already caught up." Long Fei looked at the naval warship that had already appeared in his line of sight. "How many ships do they have? Damn it," Zoro said hatefully. "Everyone!" Just as the Merry was leaving Tamaslik, Vivi, who thought it would not return, appeared on the shore. "Vivi" saw Vivi appear, and Luffy jumped on the side of the ship excitedly. "Vivi" Nami also smiled in surprise. "Vivi-chan." Needless to say, I also know that Sanji at this time. "Transfer the ship back immediately, hurry." Usopp hurriedly ran to prepare to turn the ship's bow: "The navy is coming soon." Chopper was also a little surprised when he saw Wei Wei appearing, and Long Fei was also a little surprised. But when Long Fei saw what Wei Wei was wearing, Long Fei already knew Wei Wei's decision. In the end, she chose to stay and help her people rebuild their homeland. Otherwise, Vivi wouldn't have appeared here in an extremely noble costume right now, after all, no one would be a pirate in such a costume. "I'm here to say goodbye." Sure enough, just when Luffy and the others were excitedly about turning the bow of the boat to pick up Vivi, Vivi's goodbye words made Luffy's happy expressions suddenly stunned. "What did she just say?" Luffy suspected that he had misheard and asked. Vivi picked up the phone bug and continued, "I can't go with you, I'm really grateful to you so far." I still want to go on an adventure, but I love this country so much that I can't go with you. "That's right." After hearing the reason why Vivi didn't go with everyone, Luffy smiled again. "I, I" recalled the time she spent on the Merry, and Vivi's eyes welled up with tears. "Although I want to stay here, if we meet again one day, can you call me 'partner' again?" Weiwei said loudly, and Weiwei couldn't cry at this time. "Anytime," Luffy didn't finish his words, and was covered by Nami next to him. "No, you can't answer her, the Navy has noticed Vivi, and if they have evidence that Vivi has something to do with us, Vivi will be a sinner. Say goodbye silently," Nami explained to Luffy. Then everyone on the boat collectively turned their backs to Vivi. Seeing everyone with their backs to themselves, Wei Wei, who thought that everyone didn't want to treat herself as a partner, burst into tears for a while, but she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying. Just when Vivi was sad and desperate, she saw that everyone on the Merry raised their left arms collectively, and everyone had a cross mark painted on their left arm. This sigil is all too familiar for Vivi, as she and Karui have the same sigil on their left arm (wing). This is the mark of the partner. Everyone raised their left arms to show this mark to tell Vivi, "You will always be our partner whenever and wherever you are." Vivi watched everyone's actions, and a happy smile appeared on her face again. At the same time, he raised his left arm with Karui. "Farewell, our (my) partner.
