"Smoker, what's with this rain? You didn't use Dance Powder, did you!" At this moment, on a Marine warship along the Alabasta coast, a stunning Marine beauty with long pink hair parted in the middle, purple sunglasses, brown eyes, and full red lips, exuding a powerful aura, dressed in a burgundy suit with a white shirt, wearing a Marine 'Justice' cloak, and holding a cigarette, looked at the white-haired man smoking a large cigar with a puzzled expression.
"Idiot! I can still tell what's a crime! The King of Alabasta's principle of not using that stuff—how could I possibly break it?" Smoker said calmly.
"That was truly rude; Tina will reflect on it," a clear voice rang out. "I didn't expect you to say something so cute. The man known as 'White Hunter,' have you become a bit smoother than before?"
"You're too nosy!"
"But then again, aren't you going a bit too far? To use my troops just to find one ship?"
"Since we're During the same period, don't overthink it!" Smoker slightly closed his eyes... "Why? The Straw Hat must be nearby now. Why not capture them all? They must be exhausted from fighting Crocodile like dogs. Why aren't we searching for them, Master Sergeant Tashigi!" An old Marine veteran earnestly advised Tashigi.
"This is an order! Bring Crocodile and get on board!" Tashigi said forcefully.
...Vivi ran wildly towards the palace, recalling what she saw when she woke up: "Vivi, we're going back to the palace to rest! You understand, we are wanderers and don't want to get involved with a country!" (Sanji stayed!)
"Everyone, please be safe!"
..."It's raining!"
"It's raining, rain we haven't seen in three years!"
"This way, the rebellion will end too!"
"My foolish son will also return!"
Everyone danced with joy; adults filled bottles and jars with water, and children opened their mouths wide, looking utterly content.
The desert kingdom finally welcomed new life!
...In Yuba, deep in the desert, an old man was diligently cultivating the land.
'How long are you going to be so stubborn, Dad! Yuba is finished, what's the point of you staying here alone? Are you going to die with this city, Dad?' Koza's figure appeared in the old man's mind.
"Look, Koza! It's raining! It's only... been three years... that's all... that's all!"
"Right! Rain!"
...Inside the palace,
"Hah-hoo-hoo~, Hah-hoo~, Hah-hoo!" Sounds of heavy breathing rose and fell.
At this moment, Vivi, dressed in a light blue garment, gently touched Luffy's cheek with her pure white hand. In her sparkling eyes, there was clear dependence and affection.
"Meat... meat..." Luffy murmured softly.
"You're so cute, Luffy!" Vivi's voice was soft. Looking at Luffy, who was bandaged like a mummy, Vivi's eyes were full of heartache. "I'm sorry...!"
"Princess Vivi, aren't you asleep yet?" Igaram pushed open the door and walked in.
"Ah? Igaram?" Vivi hurriedly turned her head, shifting her gaze to the window. Outside, the rain was still pouring down. Her delicate earlobes were flushed red, and she said nervously, "I... I don't want to sleep yet! I want to... watch... this rain a little longer!"
"Alright, Princess Vivi, get some rest soon!" With that, Igaram turned and left.
"Hah~!" Vivi stretched, looking at Luffy sleeping with a pout. She felt as if she couldn't take her eyes off him.
As if by a ghost's whim, Vivi climbed onto the bed and hugged the mummy-like Luffy tightly. A faint fragrance wafted into Luffy's nose.
"So fragrant! Meat...?" Then, to Vivi's cry of surprise, she was held tightly by Luffy, completely unable to resist!
In the end, Vivi could only shyly curl up in Luffy's arms, her fair, slender legs gently wrapped around his waist, her soft chest pressed close.
Gradually, sleepiness washed over her... The weather cleared.
"Ah, Princess Vivi? My Princess Vivi?" A scream woke everyone up.
"Shut up, Curly Eyebrow!" Zoro was about to curse when he was suddenly stunned by the scene before him!
"What's wrong, making such a fuss...!" The others were also woken up and all froze.
They saw Vivi lying lightly on her side on Luffy, her sapphire hair casually spread out, and a faint smile gracing her beautiful face.
"Crack~ crack!" As if something had shattered, Sanji fell to the ground in disbelief.
"This..." Vivi slowly opened her eyes, sensing the awkward atmosphere. Her fair cheeks turned crimson. She slowly pulled away from Luffy's hand, looking at him with a hint of resentment. 'I originally wanted to get up early and escape, but... it's all Luffy's fault! His embrace was too comfortable! Hmm! It's all his fault!'
"You damn bastard Luffy, how dare you lay a hand on such a cute Vivi, just watch me...!" Sanji's demeanor instantly changed, his head becoming large, pointed, and his serrated teeth indicating his furious rage!
"Let go of me... let go of me!!" Sanji roared, "I'm definitely going to kick that guy!"
...At the coast,
"Long time no see, Tashigi!" Tina greeted her.
"Miss Tina, hello. I'm a bit tired! Please allow me to rest for a bit." Tashigi walked past, unenthusiastically, and ascended the stairs.
"Commander Smoker, I'm back!"
Smoker sat on the warship's stairs, looking at Tashigi.
"Hmm! You've worked hard! I've already heard about the Straw Hat's incident."
"I am deeply sorry! I not only aided pirates, but I also let an easily defeated pirate escape. As a Marine,... this should be considered a shameful act!"
"Why apologize? Isn't this your justice?"
"No, I just... could only do that."
..."A stray dog has no right to speak of justice! This is a sea of that nature!"
"Where did he run off to? That Crocodile. Tell me quickly!"
..."Even knowing the enemy's location, I can only inform others. I... have no justice to protect!"
"Idiot! If you're so unwilling that you cry, then get stronger!"
"I will!"
...Marineford - Marineford
"Garp, look at what your grandson has done!" Sengoku's beard fluttered with anger.
"Hahahaha, don't be angry. Have some senbei, Sengoku!" Garp said with a chuckle.
"Those are my senbei, give them back!" Suddenly, the entire office became a chaotic mess.
"Honestly, he's such a grown man! Still acting like a child," Staff Officer Tsuru said helplessly.
"Enough, it's time to talk about serious matters! Crocodile crossed the line, actually trying to usurp a country! Straw Hat Luffy did very well!"
"Sengoku, what did the Gorosei say?"
"What else could they say? Cover up the fact that Crocodile was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy, and attribute the credit to Smoker and Tashigi! Promote them both by one rank!" Sengoku appeared extremely angry. The Marine should not be like this!
"That's certainly the usual style of those old bastards!" Garp said without reservation.
"Yes! The current Marine... is shackled!"
"Do you think the Marine can achieve 'Justice that rules the world'?"
..."Go to hell!" Smoker furiously hung up the World Government's den den mushi!
