Chapter 171

Another reason for choosing Alabasta is naturally that it lies along the first half of the Grand Line.

Compared to Dressrosa and Punk Hazard, Alabasta is clearly much closer to the Shabondy Archipelago.

Besides, Luo Xing also wanted to meet Nico Robin, the intellectual beauty, and Vivi, the adorable little beauty like a blue elf.

Alabasta Royal Palace.

King Cobra still rules, and without Crocodile causing destruction, Alabasta's sky can finally rain normally again.

Combined with the torrential downpour Luo Xing had summoned with his Conqueror's Haki for a full day and night, the drought in Alabasta was essentially resolved.

The people's lives grow better day by day.

It's like heaven compared to the hell it once was.

All of this is thanks to Luo Xing.

Cobra thought with a sigh.

He had told that man the historical record of the Pluton, and currently already no longer believed he had made a mistake.

Rather than let the Pluton fall into the hands of some other pirate with ulterior motives or the hypocritical World Government, it was better for Luo Xing, Alabasta's benefactor, to control it.

"Giggle giggle giggle!"

Outside the palace, a girl's bell-like laughter rang out.

Cobra's aged face broke into a satisfied smile, his heart filled with even deeper emotion.

The bell-like laughter naturally came from his daughter Vivi, who had finally returned to her childhood self—a carefree, joyful little princess.

Outside the hall.

Vivi laughed until her slender waist bent.

"Ticklish! Ticklish! Robin sister, stop tickling me!"

The reason Vivi laughed so hard was because two hands had emerged beneath her armpits, tickling her.

Nico Robin sat on a sun lounger, wearing sunglasses, with a thick book resting on her chest.

She retracted the power of her Flower-Flower Fruit and said gracefully:

"Vivi, don't randomly tickle me when I'm reading."

"Got it, Robin sister!"

Vivi straightened up and stuck out her little tongue.

It was she who had first sneaked up to tickle Robin, so Robin had tickled her back.

Interestingly,

Vivi had once hated Robin very much.

After all, Robin had always been Crocodile's companion, making her one of the main culprits behind Alabasta's tragedy.

But after spending these days with Robin and learning about her past, Vivi immediately changed her view of Robin.

Robin only wanted to know history, only had a passion for history.

Her homeland was destroyed by the World Government because of it, her family killed because of it, she was forced to flee, and exploited by every faction.

When Vivi learned this, her eyes instantly filled with tears.

Robin was a woman far, far more tragic than she was.

After removing their barriers, the two girls quickly became as close as sisters, to the point where they now shared everything.

Suddenly, Vivi's sapphire eyes rolled, and she circled behind Robin, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and intense curiosity, whispering into Robin's ear:

"Robin sister, that day… did you sleep with Brother overnight?"

Robin froze, then tapped Vivi's forehead and said:

"What do you mean, slept overnight?"

Vivi pouted and said:

"Don't think I didn't see it—I saw you two come out of the same room the day Brother left!"

Robin knew she couldn't hide it anymore, but she felt no shame or embarrassment.

After all, she was already a mature woman in her twenties, and especially after reading many books on the subject, she considered it nothing unusual.

Robin stared directly at Vivi, making Vivi herself grow shy.

Suddenly, Robin realized:

"Vivi, you don't mean you want to sleep with your brother, do you?"

"Yaa!!"

Vivi screamed, frantically waving her hands:

"What? What? Robin sister, don't say such nonsense!"

Vivi's reaction confirmed Robin's suspicion, and she smiled:

"Silly girl, though I hate to admit it, that man really is very charming."

"He saved you, he saved your country—of course a little girl just coming into love would fall for him."

Vivi's face turned bright red; she turned away, twisting her fingers:

"I… I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Robin was about to say: "Silly Vivi, even if you haven't fallen for that man, given his fondness for beautiful women, he won't let you go."

But before she could speak, a door suddenly appeared in the air before Vivi.

Robin swallowed the words on her tongue and instantly tensed:

"What is that? Who's there!"

Crack~

The sound of a door opening.

Luo Bin and Vivian's hearts both leapt sharply.

The scene before them was too bizarre—they had never heard of anything like it!

Luo Bin reacted quickly, already grabbing one of Vivian's wrists.

If there was any danger, she would immediately pull Vivian behind her and let Vivian run first.

Fortunately,

it was not danger—a familiar figure emerged behind the door.

"Brother!"

The moment Vivian saw that figure, her large blue eyes lit up like gems.

She lunged into the figure's arms almost instinctively.

Luo Xing embraced Vivian; the girl's faint fragrance felt especially pleasant to him.

He carried Vivian out of the Door of Anywhere, followed by Zoro, Enel, and the five Cybertronians.

After her initial shock, Luo Bin quickly calmed, yet could not hide her awe.

"This door… is your new invention? It can cross space?"

Luo Xing smiled and nodded:

"Yes, this door is called the Door of Anywhere. As long as you have the location data of your destination, no matter how distant, you can arrive instantly."

Luo Bin was awestruck, unable to resist saying:

"Is there anything in this world you can't invent?"

Luo Xing laughed heartily.

He held Vivian close, a thought stirring in his heart—he wanted to pull Luo Bin into his arms too.

But Zoro and the others were watching behind him; doing so might damage his image of heroic brilliance.

Vivian now realized what she had done, her face burning hot.

She had just rushed into her brother's arms—thinking back to what Sister Luo Bin had said.

Did she really like her brother? Did she want to sleep with him?

Oh no, how embarrassing!

Overcome with shame, Vivian buried her small head tightly against Luo Xing's chest, refusing to look up.

This left Luo Xing slightly puzzled—she hadn't seen him in just ten or fifteen days; why had she suddenly become so clingy?

Still, having a little beauty in his arms felt pleasant, so he let it be.

Luo Xing pulled out a sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to Luo Bin:

"This is the historical text from Empress Big Mom's place."
