Chapter 322
But before he could speak, the others replied without hesitation: "Yes, Imu-sama!"
Saturn: 6
Social Plaza.
"Eh, why hasn't Father returned after so long?" Vivi looked into the distance with some worry, and a bad premonition gradually grew in her heart.
Swish~
A figure flashed by, and two men in white uniforms appeared in front of Vivi.
"Princess Vivi, please come with us."
Vivi looked at the tall man in front of her vigilantly: "Who are you? Why should I go with you?"
Rob Lucci said coldly: "I'm sorry, this is confidential. Once you arrive at the place, you will naturally know."
Swish~ With a hand chop, the next second, Vivi fell into Lucci’s arms.
"Let's go!"
Not long after CP0 left, Shirahoshi came excitedly to the spot where Vivi had been kidnapped.
Beside her were two other princesses: Rebecca, the princess of Dressrosa, and Mansherry, the princess of the Tontatta tribe. Because of Vivi, Shirahoshi had become close to them and became good friends.
"Eh, wasn't Vivi-neechan just here? Why did she suddenly disappear?"
Rebecca looked around strangely: "That's not right. Vivi said she would wait here for Mr. Cobra all the time. How could..."
"Ah?"
Rebecca suddenly covered her mouth, having a bad premonition: "Do you think something happened to Vivi?"
Shirahoshi shook her head firmly: "No, Vivi-neechan will definitely be fine. She must have left suddenly for something and will be back in a while. Let's just wait for her here."
Ten minutes later....
Shirahoshi’s face fell: "Vivi-neechan, could something have really happened to her?"
"It's possible. Now that the Reverie is over, logically speaking, it should..." Before Rebecca could finish speaking, Shirahoshi took out a "mini" Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.
After a while, a golden trajectory appeared in the sky.
"What happened?"
Shirahoshi said nervously: "Vivi-neechan is gone, and so is Mr. Cobra."
"Don't worry, tell me slowly..."
Hearing Shirahoshi and Rebecca’s account, Karl couldn't help but rub his temples.
Cobra was called away by the Five Elders for a private talk, and Vivi had mysteriously disappeared. With the World Government’s nature, Cobra was likely in grave danger!
"Alright, I understand. I will definitely bring Vivi back safely."
"Also, you must pay attention to your safety. It's very dangerous everywhere now. You must not run around, especially you, Shirahoshi!"
Shirahoshi nodded firmly: "Mm-hmm, Karl-sama, Shirahoshi promises not to run around!"
"Admiral Fujitora will be here soon. Stay here and don't move. I'll go find Vivi."
"Mm-hmm!"
Karl nodded skeptically and looked at the noisy crowd around. Vivi shouldn't be here. And, if nothing went wrong, she should have been kidnapped by CP0. After all, sending the Holy Knights to deal with a princess who had no power to truss a chicken would be too exaggerated.
So, where would Vivi be?
Karl slowly closed his eyes and opened his Observation Haki to the fullest....
After filtering and identifying, Karl opened his eyes, his mouth curling slightly: "Found her."
On the other side.
Vivi finally woke up, looking at the CP0 members in front of her in a daze. They were actually Jabra, Kalifa, and other former CP9 members. After the Enies Lobby incident, they were originally being hunted down.
But they eventually proved their value, regained the trust of the World Government, and were promoted to CP0. It could be said that they were blessed by misfortune.
"Don't struggle, Princess Vivi. No one will come to save you now."
Kalifa, the sexy royal sister wearing black fishnet stockings, said coldly: "That's right, just stay here honestly!"
Vivi’s face changed instantly: "What happened to my father? Did you do something to him?"
As a princess, Vivi wasn't stupid. From CP0’s attitude, she could already see something.
It’s just that her questions would never get an answer, because CP0 didn't know either. The Five Elders wouldn't tell them, and there was no need to tell them. All they had to do was follow orders.
Vivi’s eyes turned red, and sorrow came from her heart.
Before coming, her father told her: "Vivi, you are already an adult. This is the first time I’ve taken you to attend the Reverie, and it’s also the last time. From now on, you have to rely on yourself."
At that time, she had confidently replied: "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely be able to do it!"
It’s just that Vivi never imagined that her father’s words would become a prophecy.
"Next, is it me?"
Kalifa was stunned: "What did you say?"
Vivi looked at Kalifa firmly with red eyes: "You harmed my father. Isn't the next target you want to harm me?"
"I'm sorry, the mission we received does not include the option of killing you."
As soon as the words fell, the room was filled with brilliant light. Neither Vivi nor CP0 could help but close their eyes to avoid being hurt by the strong light.
When the light dissipated, Karl’s tall figure stood in the room, looking at the CP0 present with a playful expression.
"Don't you know that the World Government allied nations pay protection money to the Navy? You even dare to kidnap the princess of a World Government allied nation. What great official authority you have?"
Seeing that the visitor was Karl, the CP0 present changed their expressions.
Kalifa tried to stay calm and said: "Admiral Karl, we have our reasons for doing this."
"Just a short while ago, we discovered that Alabasta King Cobra was colluding with the Revolutionary Army, attempting to overthrow the World Government."
"Our superiors ordered us to detain Cobra and Princess Vivi. Once the investigation is over and it’s confirmed that they are not colluding with the Revolutionary Army, we will naturally let them go. Please, Admiral Karl, do not interfere with government business."
"Don't give me that nonsense. Playing the 'groundless' card in front of me doesn't work."
Kalifa frowned: "Admiral Karl, I am not joking with you!"
Heh~
Karl’s gaze turned cold instantly, and the entire room was filled with a suffocating pressure: "How many Berries do you earn a month? Why are you risking your life?"
"Or is it that in your eyes, I am just a person who follows the rules?"
Karl grabbed Kalifa by the throat and lifted her to shoulder height. Even if Kalifa’s cleavage was deep, her skirt slit was high, and her fishnet stockings were seductive, it couldn't affect Karl in the slightest.
"Today, no one is allowed to touch Vivi. I said so."
Karl released his right hand, and Kalifa fell to the ground, clutching her throat and gasping for air, looking at Karl with fear in her eyes.
"As expected of the Navy Hero, what great prestige."
Karl turned his head to look. Rob Lucci stood to the side with a fake smile, staring straight at Karl.
"Rob Lucci, I remember now. You are the CP9 who were defeated by the Straw Hats in the Enies Lobby incident, right! Two years later, not only did you not die under the World Government, but you were even promoted. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the World Government really values you."
Hearing the name of the Straw Hat Pirates, Lucci couldn't hold it anymore, his face cold as he said: "Admiral Karl, CP department matters are not for you to ask about. Also, this woman is specifically requested by the World Government. Don't say it's you; even Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan cannot take her away."
Karl was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said softly.
"Truly, the ignorant are fearless..."
