"In other words, Vivi is, in a way, a Celestial Dragon."

"It's over, it's over, Robin, we have to stop this now!"

"This time, I'm going to be stolen, and I'm going to lose everything."

If Evan agrees, his life will immediately ascend to the top. Settling in Alabasta would mean the end of Evan's journey.

Nami was anxious, but Robin remained very calm.

"Don't worry, Evan won't agree to this. How could he?" Robin smiled, already knowing Evan inside and out. It could be said that no one in this world understands Evan better than she does.

For a man like him, who cherishes freedom, the ocean is his only destination. Maybe he will settle down and live comfortably in one place one day, but that's something far in the future.

Meanwhile, the Marine officers speeding through the desert kingdom were also surprised.

"If this guy becomes a Shichibukai, we can't act against him."

"This country isn't simple; they've hidden Pluton's information, so they must have some special status."

"If they request it, the Marines can only agree."

"Evan's strength indeed justifies it. If Crocodile falls, Evan can take his place."

Gion frowned, feeling that such a development would be disastrous.

If Evan is captured by this desert princess, then everything is over. Of course, they could continue reading the diary, but any chance of Evan becoming stronger might vanish.

Vivi would control him completely, and from then on, there would only be one woman in his world. This strategy to steal him away was executed perfectly.

So, how would Evan choose?

All the women with diaries had strange expressions. Some were hoping Evan would save them, like Shirahoshi. As for the Empress Hancock, who was sailing on the sea, she was furious.

"Celestial Dragon? Trying to steal a man from me?"

The Pirate Queen was enraged. Although they didn't live in the Holy Land, they were still "Celestial Dragons," whom she despised the most.

"Speed up, we're going to Alabasta! The fastest speed!"

She yelled, urging her crew to work harder. The two giant snakes pulling the ship were nearly exhausted from the constant acceleration.

Even Hancock herself couldn't explain why she was so angry. Perhaps a small bit of goodwill had grown into a towering tree. So, when she saw someone trying to steal him, she immediately became furious.

Are you kidding me? She, the Pirate Empress, the most beautiful woman in the world, losing before she even entered the fight? As long as she appeared before Evan, he would fall under her spell instantly. This was a battle she was certain to win.

But now, someone else was playing dirty with a hidden trump card. Furious, she immediately accelerated toward Alabasta.

"Sorry, Vivi, but I can't leave just like that," Evan said, his refusal clear from the start.

[There are so many islands to see and so many people to meet especially pretty girls, so I can't stay in just one place.]

[I can't stay here, at least not now.]

[I still have many things I need to do.]

[Beauty is only part of it, but there are more important things.]

[Like gaining strength—this sea devours the weak. Strength is essential.]

[I also can't let the crew have few members, that won't be much help for the future, recruiting powerful pirates would be great, I have a list of who I want to recruit

[I also have to improve the strength of each of the current members, I can't let them be weak by the time we get to Sabaody, I don't want the separation of the canon to happen because we are too weak.]

[Only by continuing to sail can I grow stronger and protect everything.]

Evan intended to continue his journey. Staying with Vivi and helping her build a better Alabasta sounded great—perhaps they could even find oil in the desert, or use some advanced knowledge to bring order to the country. But Evan understood that strength was the most important thing. To gain it, he had to keep sailing.

Settling down would be something to consider after retirement. For now, he needed to keep moving, especially with the world-changing event of Luffy becoming the Pirate King on the horizon. How could he miss such an exciting moment?

"I see, so that's what you're thinking," Vivi said, her expression tinged with regret.

"Sorry, Vivi, I wish I could stay, but..." Evan said, placing his hands on her shoulders.

Vivi hugged Evan, and as the sun rose, she pressed his head against hers. When they finally parted, Evan was a bit dazed.

"Don't forget me," Vivi whispered, her head resting against his chest.

"Don't worry Vivi, we'll see each other soon. The time apart won't be very long," Evan said, gently stroking her head.

*Snap*

Evan snapped his fingers and quickly raised a Barrier of Silence that covered him and Vivi since he doesn't want anyone to find out what he's going to say now.

"Vivi," he called softly, his voice having a serious tone that immediately caught her attention. She raised her face to him, a smile on her lips.

"Evan, what do you have in mind?" Vivi asked, sensing that something important was about to be revealed.

"Let me tell you a secret about me. It's about my Devil Fruit. But promise me that you won't tell anyone until I allow you to." Evan said with a serious tone that was somewhat different from his usual cheerful personality.

Vivi's brow furrowed slightly. "It's okay, Evan. I promise you. What about your Devil Fruit? I thought you had the Goro Goro no Mi?"

Evan shook his head slowly. "That's what I've let everyone believe. But the truth is, my real Devil Fruit is different. I am the user of the mythical zoan the Yurei Yurei no Mi, Model: Ralabast."

"A mythological zoan, wow Evan that's incredible it's a fruit even rarer than the Logias what animal does it allow you to turn into?" Vivi asked with a curious expression.

She has read about all types of Devil Fruits in the Royal Library and knows that of the mythical zoans only 3 are mentioned in the kingdom's records: the Uo Uo no mi no Mi Seiryu Model of the Yonkou Kaido, the Tori Tori no mi no Mi Phoenix Model of Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Hito Hito no mi no Mi Daibutsu Model of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

With Evan's, it would be the Fourth mythical Zoan she knows but she can't help but wonder why he is so determined to hide his true fruit.

Evan agreed. "The model: Ralabast allows me to transform into any creature I want, I can even partially transform any part of my body like this."

Evan raised his arm and it quickly turned into a blue wing surrounded by lightning and quickly changed back to his arm.

"There are also other Skills such as Recovering Devil Fruits from users who have recently passed away," He said as a Devil Fruit appeared in his hand and instantly disappeared.

"But the most powerful Skill and the one that would cause a war to break out if someone else found out is....."

Meanwhile, other girls were seeing the updates in Evan's diary.

"How should I put it? It's unexpected, but also perfectly in character."

"That's just like him; he wouldn't give up the ocean for anything," Nami said, rubbing her temples.

At that moment, she pulled out her diary.

[Nami: Vivi, you can steal a house, and you sure can talk.]

[Nami: Get back to me right away!]

While Vivi was busy stealing the house, Nami had been sending her messages. Of course, Vivi didn't respond—she was preoccupied. But now, holding Evan in her arms, she finally had the attention to reply.

[Vivi: Forgive me, Nami. This is the last time.]

Nami was left speechless for a moment.

[Robin: Well done, Vivi. But I have to ask—are you still coming aboard?]

[Vivi: I feel the country needs me, so I must stay.]

[Vivi: And once I become the Queen of the Desert, I can help Evan even more.]

[Vivi: I also hope that in the future the crew will be comparable to the crew of an emperor and take Arabasta as their territory.]

[Maybe this way I can see Evan more often and end up stealing him once and for all...Hehehehe]

After all, Evan had written some dangerous things in his diary before. He had even hinted at killing the Celestial Dragons. Though it was just a few words in the diary, Vivi understood that Evan was capable of doing it. So, she wanted to support him.

After all, Alabasta would be a solid backing for Evan.

"So that's it. It seems she's thinking ahead," Robin mused with a thoughtful expression.
