If we could look through people we can see that…
At this moment, Vivi had a smile of "success" in her heart. She laughed at how Robin was less shrewd than she thought and how Nami was foolish. If Robin had kept a closer eye on Evan and not let him out of her sight, how could Vivi have taken advantage of the situation? Now, by striking early in the morning, she had grabbed Evan straight away.
Let them see what true skill in "stealing the house" looks like. She took Evan down in one move because she's the queen of the desert! Vivi could rightfully be called "the king of stealing."
Holding hands with Evan, she soon reached the top of the mountain. This was a place she often visited as a child, where the sunrise was particularly beautiful. At this moment, the morning sun was just beginning to reveal itself. The sun rose slowly from the horizon, and the gray desert was instantly bathed in white light.
"It's pretty good. Is this what you wanted to show me?" Evan asked with a grin, the beautiful scenery lifting his spirits.
"Yes, Evan, this is what I wanted to show you," Vivi replied, letting go of his hand and walking ahead. From now on, this was her exclusive moment. She gazed at the breathtaking view before her, her eyes sparkling. She turned, her back to the sun, and opened her arms to Evan.
"A barren desert, with nothing… Evan, this is Alabasta. My hometown, everything I have," Vivi said, her face slightly flushed as she slowly walked forward and took Evan's hands. "Evan, will you come with me and change everything here?" she asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.
[Wow, even though she said it tactfully, isn't this a confession?]
[A barren desert, change everything here, and invite me to join you?]
[This is entrusting me with the entire Alabasta.]
[Vivi, my dear, I never realized you had such courage!]
[You were silent before, but now you're making a bold move.]
[At this moment, how should I respond?]
Evan's diary updated instantly, with countless words appearing. At the same time, Nami and Robin, who were still in the room discussing whether Vivi would join the crew, fell into deep thought. Nami looked at the diary with a strange expression—like the "old man on the subway with his mobile phone" meme. What happened? How did things end up like this?
"Forget subtlety, Vivi, you're just going all out, aren't you?" Nami said, reaching out to pat her futon. "This is such an unexpected move. I invited her to join us before, but I didn't expect her to have such a plan."
Robin, on the other hand, didn't show any particular expression. She remained calm and even smiled. "It's only natural. Who would accept sharing right away? If possible, everyone wants to take a gamble, hoping they might monopolize Evan. If they win, it's a complete victory; if they lose, they can always join the sharing team later," Robin said as she calmly sipped her tea.
"Crafty, crafty… this Vivi, she's learning!" Nami said, realizing that this desert princess, who had been lurking as an agent and boarding a pirate ship, had gradually developed some special skills. This sudden burst of cunning and calculation was impressive.
"When making big moves, you should never reveal your intentions, even if you're a god. I thought she just wanted to get closer to Evan and build some rapport, but who knew she'd bet all her chips right away?" Robin said, now curious about how Evan would respond.
Meanwhile, Nami was fuming. She had been planning to share Evan with Vivi, but who would have guessed that this "good sister" would backstab her like this? Worse yet, Vivi hadn't even tried to distract Evan—his diary just kept going, as if she wanted everyone to see it.
Back on the mountain, Evan's expression turned serious. "I'm a pirate with a bounty on my head. Is that okay?" Evan asked, referring to his current status as a wanted man.
"It doesn't matter where you go, just drive away Crocodile. The Shichibukai position will be vacant. When that happens, Alabasta will put in a little effort and arrange for you to become a Shichibukai. Everything will be fine," Vivi replied with a smile, having already planned a way out for Evan.
Evan frowned, feeling moved. Although Alabasta was a barren desert kingdom, it was still a large country. Promising Vivi here and then being with her forever in Alabasta seemed like a good choice, even a dream come true. If he nodded and agreed, he could live an extremely comfortable life, lying back and fishing all day long.
[Given Vivi's background, this is feasible.]
[I can kick out Crocodile and become a Shichibukai.]
[The Marines might even be happy with that result—one less enemy, right?]
[And let's not forget that Vivi's family has an amazing background.]
[They've managed to keep the news of Pluton hidden, so they must be pretty capable, right?]
Evan's diary continued, ready to reveal the most critical information.
[800 years ago, with the existence of the Great Kingdom and its subsequent defeat at the hands of the 20 kingdoms, the so-called empty century occurred.]
[Of those 20 royal families, only 19 agreed to live in the Holy Land. The family that did not decide to join was the royal family of Arabasta, the Nefertari.]
[And, according to the latest information, there seems to be something special hidden in this kingdom.]
[Vivi's identity is far from simple.]
Evan's diary once again contained shocking revelations. In the original plot, the king of this desert kingdom Arabasta had the right to meet the Five Elders directly. This status was extremely significant.
Vivi was also surprised as she looked at Evan—she didn't know much about this. But honestly, every time the World Summit happened, she had felt something peculiar. Yes, Arabasta was a barren desert kingdom, but it was always treated with respect, and its status was very important.
She had sensed this since she was a child, and now it all made sense. It could only be said that the king had hidden it too well, keeping this information even from Vivi. After all, she was still just a princess, and state matters like succession were still far off. The king was still in his prime, so it was natural to keep certain things hidden.
