From a distance, they saw a man with an afro picking his nose, then flicking the booger, which caused a massive explosion where it landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Mr. 5, the man who had eaten the Bomb-Bomb Fruit and become a human bomb, sent to hunt down Vivi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him was his partner, Miss Valentine, a user of the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, floating in the air with an umbrella—another girl who didn't care in the slightest about revealing her colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the target being surrounded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was Vivi, who had fled earlier. Judging by the direction she had come from, she must have been on the edge of the town, which was why she had escaped the reach of the Conqueror's Haki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Straw Hat Pirates,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi hurriedly shouted, \"I am the Princess of Alabasta, currently undercover in Baroque Works!
