The sun had just risen, its light diffusing through the clouds and spreading across the surrounding sea.
On the calm surface of the sea, a figure sailed a sea ship towards a distant island.
At the bow of the ship stood a figure with fluffy blue hair, a sexy physique, and a full bust encased in brown lingerie.
She stood there, gazing at the distant island, a hint of confusion on her face.
This island was located near Alabasta. It was uninhabited, and the Marines had searched it several times without finding anything.
But how could Robin have bypassed the Marines' search to reach this island? And how did she summon her here to meet?
Miss Doublefinger couldn't figure it out. The sea ship slowly docked. She instructed the bounty hunters disguised as fishermen to wait there, then leaped off the ship and onto the shore.
Before her lay a dense forest. She walked into the woods, heading deeper into its depths.
"The meeting place is deep in the forest."
Zala thought of Robin's call and continued deeper.
After walking for a while, she entered a clearing where a colossal figure appeared.
"It's Robin's giant beast."
Zala stopped in her tracks and looked around, searching for Robin's trace, but found none.
"Where is your master?"
Zala asked the giant beast curiously.
"You mean Robin?"
The giant beast spoke slowly, "She is not my master?"
"She's not your master?"
Zala replied instinctively, then froze, staring at the giant beast. "You, you can talk?"
"It's not difficult."
Xia Qiu looked at the figure before him and said, "There's no need to be so surprised."
Zala's mouth hung open as she looked at Xia Qiu and asked, "What exactly is going on? Why isn't Robin here?"
Xia Qiu looked at her and said, "Robin is wanted, she can't come here."
"So you're here in her place?" Zala asked Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu said, "That's right. We summoned you because there's something that needs to be done."
"What is it?" Zala asked curiously.
Xia Qiu looked at her and said, "As you know, Robin is now wanted, her identity exposed. It's no longer suitable for her to be the Vice President of Baroque Works."
"You mean?" Zala looked at Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu grinned and said, "So I'm planning to make you the Vice President of Baroque Works. What do you say?"
"Me, Vice President?"
Zala frowned, then realized something. "You said you plan to make me Vice President? Wait, why do you have the authority?"
As she asked this question, Zala's expression turned terrifying. "No, it's impossible."
Xia Qiu snorted and asked, "Why is it impossible?"
Zala couldn't believe it. "You're Mr.0? Mr.0 isn't a person, he's a giant beast?"
Xia Qiu looked at Zala and replied, "I don't think anyone has ever said Mr.0 was a person, have they?"
"You're right."
Zala suddenly understood. "No wonder Mr.0 never appeared in front of anyone. Besides the Vice President, no one knew his identity. So Mr.0 is a giant beast. And after Robin became Vice President, she was always with you. It's also rumored that you killed Crocodile."
"So now you know."
Xia Qiu's voice rumbled. Internally, he let out a sigh of relief. Her imagination is quite vivid, no need for me to explain.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is."
Zala still found it hard to accept, staring at Xia Qiu with a dazed expression.
Xia Qiu looked at her and gently asked, "So what's your decision? Are you willing to become the Vice President of Baroque Works and be my partner?"
"I..."
Zala hesitated. The truth had shocked her so much that it was difficult for her to think about what came next.
Xia Qiu asked, "What are you worried about? Does it matter if I'm a person or not? Do you not trust me, or do you not trust yourself?"
"I, I don't not trust you."
Zala shook her head. This giant beast was powerful, capable of killing Crocodile, sinking Marine warships, and killing a Commodore and a Captain.
Such strength was undeniable, and his identity as a giant beast was actually the best cover.
Moreover, even if the Marines were hunting Robin and she couldn't come here, he could still cross the ocean to meet her.
As for herself, Zala believed her own strength was more than enough to become Vice President.
Moreover, whether he was human or not was indeed not an issue.
Precisely because he wasn't human and couldn't appear in front of others, the position of Vice President was exceptionally precious.
In a sense, the Vice President represented Baroque Works.
Zala was somewhat moved, and then Xia Qiu said, "Do you still remember Baroque Works' objective?"
"Objective? You mean establishing Utopia?"
Zala looked at Xia Qiu and realized something, "You want to rule a country, with people serving you? But honestly, it's impossible for a Giant Beast to become the ruler of a country; the people wouldn't agree."
Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Who says I want to be the ruler? I can exist as the protector of a country, as long as I can get what I want. As for who the ruler is, I don't care."
"So that means."
Zala looked at Xia Qiu and asked blankly, "Anyone could be."
Xia Qiu nodded and said, "Of course. Actually, even if you don't become the ruler, I think your future position as Vice President won't be low."
Zala's eyes showed a flicker of interest. Xia Qiu looked at her and asked, "Are you willing to become my partner?"
These assassins and Bounty Hunters gathered together, joined Baroque Works, and were willing to hand over the money they earned to Baroque Works.
It was all because of the Utopia plan, to establish an ideal nation and become a part of it.
And in Utopia, positions were calculated by ranking; the higher the rank, the higher the position.
Vice President was already the highest position within Baroque Works, second only to the President.
Zala nodded and said, "I am willing."
Xia Qiu smiled and said, "That's great. From now on, you will be my liaison."
"I will definitely do my best," Zala said earnestly.
Xia Qiu added, "But you must remember, no one knows my true identity except you. So you have to tell them."
"Don't worry, I'll remember that," Zala said with a smile.
Xia Qiu nodded. "Robin has already informed the other Senior Agents about you, and now everyone knows that the position of Vice President has changed. Next, you will contact them on my behalf, but before that, we need to wait for someone. Have your subordinates leave before he arrives."
"Okay."
Zala had her subordinates sail away, leaving her alone.
In the afternoon, a figure walked into the depths of the forest and, upon seeing Zala, widened his eyes, "You, you're Miss Doublefinger?"
Zala worked as a waitress at the Spider Cafe, which was Baroque Works' headquarters.
Most people believed Zala was just a waitress.
Zala smiled and said, "Little Feng, that's right, I am Miss Doublefinger."
"To think so! I've seen you many times before, and I always thought you were just an ordinary person."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay walked into the room and looked at Zala, "Robin told me that from now on, you are the Vice President of Baroque Works. The submarine is also yours."
"Okay."
Zala and Xia Qiu followed Mr. 2 Bon Clay to the coast, where a peculiar pink ship was docked. It had a deck and a small cabin, two masts, and sails floating on the water.
The structure on top, like the deck of a ship, was similar, but the bottom part was a submarine.
It could navigate both on the surface and underwater.
"Follow me."
Mr. 2 Bon Clay led Zala into the submarine to tour it.
After a full half hour, the two emerged. Mr. 2 Bon Clay left the submarine, boarded another pirate ship, and waved his hands, "Miss Doublefinger, come find me to play in the future!"
"Goodbye, Little Feng."
Zala waved goodbye to Mr. 2 Bon Clay. Seeing him leave, Zala jumped off the ship and walked to Xia Qiu's side, saying, "This submarine can accommodate twelve people and has a dedicated oxygen generator, allowing for extended underwater operations. The masts are air intakes; while underwater, as long as a section of the mast is exposed, it can absorb air. There are four trained crew members inside who can assist with navigation."
Xia Qiu nodded and asked, "What is the power source and fuel for the submarine's underwater propulsion?"
"Cola."
Zala said with a strange expression, "It uses propellers for propulsion underwater, and the fuel is cola. Without relying on wind, at low speeds, one barrel of cola can last for eight hours of travel."
"Cola?"
Xia Qiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know who built this submarine?"
Zala replied, "No one could have built this submarine originally, but a guy named Franky found it interesting and, referencing ideas proposed by Vegapunk, created this submarine."
"I see."
Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Then let's get on board and come with me."
"Okay."
Zala boarded the submarine, furled the sails, and then the submarine slowly submerged, following behind Xia Qiu as they headed into the distance.
