Capítulo 118: Chapter 118
Located on a secluded bank in the upper reaches of the San Dora River, the Going Merry lay still.
"Have they arrived yet?" Sanji inquired lazily, cigarette in hand.
"Not yet," Usopp replied from the watchtower, clutching the god-killing star. "I reckon they won't be here for a while. I'll keep watch. You can go practice."
Sanji turned, resting against the railing, gazing towards the watchtower. "I've already used my time to delve into the manga today, or else why would I be idling here?"
In recent days, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines had a silent understanding not to interfere with each other. However, the previous day, the Marines abruptly increased their presence in Alabasta, forming a ring of encirclement. Under Logan's orders, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and Kaya returned to the ship and sailed to this hidden riverbank.
In the cabin, Kaya sat on the sofa, undergoing acupuncture, a routine she needed every seven days to alleviate her weakness. It would take a year to fully recover.
After treating Kaya, Chopper eagerly delved into the manga. He hadn't gained any abilities from the manga yet, which weighed heavily on him. Others had obtained abilities from the manga upon acquiring it. Chopper didn't want to be an outcast, a sentiment he had experienced since childhood.
In the world of [Strike the Blood] Chopper, in his human-beast form, was covered in scars and visibly exhausted.
Boom! Rudolf Eustach's attack sent Akatsuki Kojou crashing beside Chopper.
"Kojou! Hang in there, I'll heal you!" Chopper rushed over,he haa been forming a bond with Akatsuki Kojou and Himeragi Yukina during his visits to this manga world.
"Trying to heal on a battlefield?" Rudolf Eustach, wielding an axe, advanced with a malicious glint.
"Damn it!" Despite his injuries, Kojou rose, understanding Yukina's silent plea. Without further words, Kojou bit Yukina's neck.
"The successor of the Kaleid blood, Akatsuki Kojou. Release thy Shackles, Come out the fifth Kenjuu, REGULUS AURUM!"
As Kojou chanted, a dazzling golden light emanated from his body, summoning a thunderous golden lion.
Chopper was astounded. "So powerful!"
Simultaneously, Yukina collapsed. Chopper rushed to aid her, bandaging her wounds.
Meanwhile, the golden lion struck Rudolf Eustach down, eliminating him.
Afterward, Chopper tended to Kojou's injuries and cleaned the medical equipment. However, his mind lingered on the powerful figure of the golden lion. He wanted to acquire such strength to better support his crew.
In his research, the bandage soaked in Akatsuki's blood reacted with water, emitting a powerful energy. Excited, Chopper sought to replicate the process using Himeragi Yukina's blood for experimentation.
Several failed attempts followed over the week, but on the tenth venture into the manga world, Chopper finally succeeded in creating a small golden pill called Rumble Ball. Inspired by Akatsuki's blood, it was a breakthrough for Chopper, developing a new type of Rumble Ball using Akatsuki Kojou's ancestry blood and Himeragi Yukina's psychic blood.
Chopper dubbed the golden Rumble ball the "Lion's Golden Rumble Ball." Sneaking away from the ship back in the Pirate World, he found a secluded spot to conduct a test. Given that it's a first-generation product, Chopper anticipated potential issues or malfunctions, prompting him to assess it first.
"Ahh woo~" Chopper opened his mouth and consumed the golden Rumble ball.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light enveloped his entire body, accompanied by crackling lightning beams that scorched and crackled. The beastly factor within the Lion's Golden Rumble Ball surged through Chopper's body, filling him with an intense sensation akin to boiling water.
"'AHHHHHHHHH!!!" The force surged violently within Chopper, causing him to roar loudly.
Golden lightning erupted from his body, giving the impression that Chopper had exploded. As the golden thunderbolts continued to surge, Chopper's body transformed into a colossal figure, not as immense as the Pirate World's giants, yet substantially formidable.
"Huh." Chopper exhaled deeply. Gradually adjusting from the initial discomfort, he began sensing the might of the Yellow Golden Lion.
Surveying the mountain wall ahead, Chopper delivered a punch.
Zizizi. Numerous golden thunderbolt fists swirled around his punch, resembling a miniature sun. The moment his fist struck the mountain, the entire hill disintegrated into pieces. The explosive power of the golden lightning shattered the rocks into fine powder instantaneously.
"Ahh! It's overwhelming!" Chopper sensed that unleashing just a fraction of the Yellow Golden Lion's power resulted in such terrifying strength. The thought of exerting its full power was unimaginable.
However, despite its potency, the Lion's Golden Rumble Ball had evident shortcomings. Upon consumption, the primordial bloodline and psychic bloodline factors within the Rumble ball began depleting rapidly. Chopper estimated its duration to last up to three minutes, but a burst of full power would significantly shorten this time frame.
"This Lion's Golden Rumble Ball still needs refinement," Chopper concluded as the drug effect wore off, reverting him to his reindeer state.
Reflecting for a moment, Chopper muttered to himself, "Obtaining more blood from Akatsuki Kojou and Himeragi Yukina won't be easy."
After pondering, Chopper rubbed his head and headed back, contemplating ways to improve the Lion's Golden Rumble Ball.

Capítulo 119: Chapter 119
Alabasta Palace
Logan, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Robin are waiting for news from Vivi in a lounge.
Everyone has recognized Princess Vivi as a crewmate and promised to take her to sea together.
Now Princess Vivi said she was going to say goodbye to her father.
"Yeah! The Log Pose is finally recharge!" Nami's voice woke up the drowsy crowd.
"Great! Just waiting for Vivi to come, let's go!!" Luffy grinned happily, and then looked at everyone with a questioning look, "Why don't we stay for another night tonight? Shall we have another Alabasta palace banquet?"
Robin covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "You have almost eat up with a year's amount of food these days, haven't you eaten enough?"
Zoro complained: "This guy..., his stomach is a bottomless pit~
Logan looked at Luffy's cheeky face, and couldn't help laughing: "It's almost done, Luffy. If you stay one more day, the chef of Alabasta Palace will cry one more day."
"Actually, we really can't stay any longer. The Marine has almost completely surrounded Alabasta. If we stay for one more day, it will be really troublesome." Nami analyzed the form for everyone with a serious face.
Logan nodded: "Well, we will leave as soon as Vivi comes."
"..."
Luffy looked downcast.
Just then, the door opened.
Igaram, the captain of the Alabasta palace guard, walked in.
"Where's Vivi?" Seeing Igaram alone, everyone asked doubtfully.
Igaram replied with a smile: "Princess Vivi returned to her residence after seeing His Majesty.
"Huh?! She...is she going to stay?" Luffy was blunt and said it directly.
Logan covered Luffy's mouth.
How could such a thing be said in front of the captain of the guard?
Bringing a princess to become a pirate, of course it is necessary to secretly imitate it!
Igaram is not a fool, of course he heard something...
It's just..., what's strange is that he didn't say anything about this matter, but looked at Logan and showed a noble etiquette: "Mr. Logan, our Majesty summoned you, he said he have something to ask you.
"something he want to ask me?" Logan frowned
Logan shrugged his shoulders: "Okay. I'll go with you to see His Majesty the King."
After walking with Igaram for a while, Logan came to a luxurious room,
"Is His Majesty the King summoning me...?" Logan almost guessed something, he looked at Igaram with a look of disbelief on his face.
"As expected of you." Igaram bowed with a smile, then pointed to a door ahead, and said, "Princess Vivi is waiting for you inside. I will step back first."
ok
I'll just say it!
If Cobra summons me in this kind of place, then I will panic
Pushing open the door inside, Logan saw Princess Vivi.
"How do you..." Just as I was about to ask why, Princess Vivi jumped on me.
"Logan...!" Princess Vivi threw herself into Logan's arms, her eyes were red
"Uh, Vivi, what are you...?" At this time, Logan was thrown hard by Vivi, and his back hit the wall directly.
This is... he was thumped by the wall!
"Don't talk, let me hug you for a while..." Vivi's two slender arms tightly encircled Logan, and she stuck her face to Logan's totem E.
This is really unprecedented.
Judging by the situation, soon Princess Vivi will explain everything herself.
After hugging quietly for a few minutes, Princess Vivi's little face was removed from Logan's chest.
She looked up at Logan, her little face was full of sadness and sadness: "I'm sorry, Logan, I know this offends you, but please see that we are about to part, give me a good hug... ..."
…
Hearing this word, Logan immediately understood why Princess Vivi was sad
Maybe the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates will be surprised when Princess Vivi says goodbye.
But Logan was not surprised at all.
After all, Princess Vivi's personality is here.
Although she is a qualified crewmate, she is also a qualified princess!!!
And a perfect princess loved by the people of Alabasta!
She loves this country dearly.
Even in the original plot, Princess Vivi is still choose rational over willfulness at the last moment
She entrusted her little girl's dream of adventure to the crewmates of the Straw Hat Pirates, and she herself..., assumed the responsibility of the princess!
For the country she loves so much, she gave up her adventure...
This kind of awareness... is absolutely impossible for many people!!
This girl...
Be the cutest person in Alabasta!!
Thinking of this, Logan raised his hands and landed on Princess Vivi's back.
Then hug tight!!——
"Hmm...!" With a soft moan, Princess Vivi felt the warmth Logan gave her, and wept with joy!
From the first time she met Logan to now, although it is only less than a month
But for Princess Vivi, this is a month that directly decides her fate!!!
It all started with this man in front of me!
Without this man, her strength would not be as powerful as it is now!
Without this man, Alabasta would not have escaped the shadow of Crocodile!
Without this man, she, Vivi, has no future!!
If it is possible...how much she wants this man in front of her to stay.
But Princess Vivi understands that she can't be so selfish!!
Logan has his own dream and his partner
"Logan....I'm sorry, I..." Princess Vivi burst into tears, and the noise choked, "I can't go to sea with you, I'm sorry..., woo woo woo...."
Sad emotions and the pain of parting are entangled into tears of reluctance
Her little hands hugged her tightly as if she wanted to freeze time at this moment.
If it weren't for the imminent parting, Princess Vivi would not have hugged Logan so boldly.
But this fear of parting made her completely forget everything.
She just wanted to give Logan a good hug right now.
"I see." No extra words, Logan only said these words
His right hand came from Vivi's back to the back of Vivi's head, gently pressing on his chest.
But it was these these simple words that made Princess Vivi cry even harder.
"Why, why don't you scold me...? I let everyone look forward to it in vain, won't you be angry?" Lying in Logan's arms, Princess Vivi sobbed softly.
The corner of Logan's mouth turned tenderly: "Silly girl, I said I understood, why are you still angry?"
"But... don't you want me to go to sea with you?" The little head came out of Logan's arms, Princess Vivi's eyes were a little confused
Am I being selfish??
"Of course I hope!!" Without any hesitation, Logan gave Princess Vivi an affirmative answer.
He held Princess Vivi's face in both hands, and wiped off the tear stains hanging on Princess Vivi's cheek with his thumb.
"If you want to set sail with us, I will pick you up anytime anywhere!"
"But you want to stay, I understand you too!!"
"You, you are a princess with responsibilities, but you are also a girl first..."
"If you are more self-willed, you will run out to play regardless of everything. If you are more rational, you will shoulder the responsibility for this country."
Listening to what Logan said, a smile bloomed on Princess Vivi's face.
He understands me...
He really understands me....
nice
Puckering her lips, Princess Vivi suddenly asked: "Then do you like the rational me or the willful me?"
"you still need to ask?"
"which one?"
"I like it all!"
Although it is a very old-fashioned way of answering, but...girls love to listen
Princess Vivi is very sweet in her heart, she looked into Logan's eyes: "Logan~"
"Um?"
"I like you!"
ah~?
Princess Vivi showed an aggrieved expression on her face: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Logan suddenly laughed.
He stared into Vivi's eyes and said deeply: "Vivi, I like you!"
He said...
He said it!
said it!!!
A heart is pounding
Princess Vivi feels that the air is full of happiness
She pursed her red lips lightly, and asked again: "Then... what about Nami?"
"I like Nami too!" Logan's answer was still without hesitation.
"You are really honest"
Princess Vivi had some resentment on her face, but she was happy in her heart.
Because of Logan's answering attitude, she can deeply feel Logan's sincerity!!
He didn't even have the slightest hesitation to deceive her...
Logan expressed calmly: "I don't want to lie to people at all when things should be serious. After all, once you start telling the first lie, you will have to use countless lies to surround the tenth."
As a transmigrator, Logan doesn't want to put too much restraint and pressure on herself
He won't be a stallion, but he can't set any rules for himself
Like is like, there is no need to deceive people around you in order to achieve a certain purpose.
If Princess Vivi minds, then Logan won't be stalking
"Well, you are such a badass that people can't help themselves" Nodding slightly, Princess Vivi lightly hammered Logan's chest with her small fist.
Then, Princess Vivi suddenly boldly
He raised his hands and grabbed Logan's face.
not...?
Logan took a deep breath
The blood is boiling~
As he expected
The next moment, Princess Vivi raised her toes...
In a burst of fragrance, Logan was thumped by the wall
Princess Vivi blushed and took two steps back, then turned around.
"I'm going to clean up my makeup and say goodbye to my friends later..." Saying that, she stepped forward and ran outside.
"Stop!!" Logan called to stop her.
"What... what is it...?"
After doing the daring thing, Princess Vivi is now a little shy, with her head down, and she dare not look at Logan.
"Here, take..."
Logan walked up to Princess Vivi, gently grabbed Princess Vivi's slender hand, and placed a small piece of paper in Princess Vivi's palm.
"what is this?"
Looking at this ordinary little piece of paper, Princess Vivi was puzzled.
"This thing is called a Vivre Card. It is made by mixing your own materials with special materials. It is a kind of paper that mainly represents life force. This small piece for you "
Corners ripped from his vivre card." No matter where I am, this small piece of Vivre call will point to my direction. " The last time he had a happy exchange with Ace, Logan took the opportunity to inquire about the production method of the vivre card.
Ace readily taught Logan how to make Vivre Cards, and also gave Logan the special materials for making Vivre Cards.
That's why Logan has a Vivre Card.
Didn't expect to use it so soon.
"Really!!" Princess Vivi's eyes were filled with surprise.
She flicked her palm away, and immediately saw the corner of her palm faintly facing the direction of Logan
"Great, I will keep this Vivre Card like I cherish my own life! With it, if you don't come to pick me up in the future, I will find you by myself" Holding it tightly in her palm, Princess Vivi was extremely happy.
Logan added: "By the way, if this Vivre Card shrinks, it means that my body has become weak. If this Vivre Card slowly turns into ashes, it means that I am about to die."
"shut up!!" Princess Vivi hurriedly stretched out her other little hand and blocked Logan's mouth, and then she said angrily: "You are not allowed to say such words that scare me!!"
"Ok"
Logan hummed and took the opportunity to kiss Princess Vivi's finger.
".." Princess Vivi looked at Logan shyly.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then embraced and kissed tacitly.
