Chapter 156: Taking Action
[Option 1: Argue back and insist that Kizaru join you in the Underworld to destroy the base and capture Doflamingo. (Reward: Skill Hellfire from the dimension of Warcraft RPG x1)]
[Option 2: Agree happily and wait for Kizaru to leave before taking action. (Reward: Random skill experience +1)]
Of course, Option 2 was the obvious choice.
But why would having Kizaru join us to capture Doflamingo be dangerous?
Vivian began to ponder.
Could it be that once Kizaru got the news, he would report it immediately, causing the World Government to send CP0 to intervene?
Or perhaps…
Kizaru might notify the Revolutionary Army right away, complicating the mission further?
Well, up to now, Vivian still entertained the possibility that Kizaru was a Revolutionary Army spy.
After all, Kizaru's actions were always so suspicious.
"Alright, Admiral Kizaru, we'll have a meal here, buy some supplies, and then leave immediately." Ignoring Momousagi's opinion, Vivian answered Kizaru directly.
"Really just passing by?"
"Really just passing by."
"Who's your next target?" Kizaru asked.
"Not sure, probably either Trafalgar Law or Buggy the Clown."
"Law and Buggy…" Kizaru thought for a moment, "One has the Op-Op Fruit, and the other was a member of Roger's crew. Neither is easy to deal with."
In Kizaru's mind, the easiest Warlord to deal with now might be Gecko Moria. Unfortunately, he was assigned to Mihawk, a man whose strength was not inferior to his own. Otherwise, he could have gone to the Foggy Sea, captured some people, clocked in, and maybe even taken the opportunity to sneak in some sightseeing.
"If you have to choose between those two, I'd suggest Trafalgar Law. At least his bounty is relatively lower."
"Got it, we'll definitely go after Trafalgar Law next," Vivian nodded vigorously.
Kizaru: "…"
[You chose Option 2 and received the reward: "Drawing" experience +1]
"Let's go." Kizaru put his hands back in his pockets and nodded to the marine officer behind him.
Soon after Kizaru's group left, Vivian and his team found a restaurant to eat. But just as they walked in and before they could sit down, Momousagi moved the chair in front of Vivian and smiled at him, "State your rank, Alfred Vivian."
"My rank?" Vivian was puzzled, "Captain."
"And my rank?" Momousagi asked. "Admiral."
Vivian blinked, thinking, what kind of silly questions are these?
"Not counting Rear Admiral, I'm six ranks above you, yet since we set sail, you've been giving orders as you please. Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
Vivian: (°ー°〃)
"I wasn't giving orders… We stayed an extra day on Amazon Lily with your consent, and just now…"
Vivian wanted to mention how he answered Kizaru on her behalf but couldn't find a good reason. He couldn't exactly say it was because the system gave him options, right?
Under Momousagi's gaze, Vivian coughed awkwardly, "Sorry, I'll be more mindful of my position from now on."
"Hope you remember what you just said," Momousagi snorted.
Click—!
As she finished speaking, Gordon, standing nearby, casually pressed the shutter on his camera.
"What are you doing?" Vivian turned his head to look at him.
"Well… this scene is just too pleasing to the eye, so I couldn't help but want to take a picture…"
The image captured by the camera showed Momousagi with her arms crossed, staring at Vivian with a look that seemed fierce but had a hint of reproach. Vivian, on the other hand, stood in front of her, slightly bowing his head, looking like he was being scolded.
Given the high attractiveness of both, the scene was indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
"Besides, even if this photo doesn't make it to the newspaper as news material, it can still be included in my 'Shichibukai Capture Diary.'"
"Shichibukai Capture Diary?"
"That's right. I plan to publish a magazine documenting your journey in capturing the Shichibukai, complete with pictures. With Thunder Swordsman Vivian and Admiral Momousagi as the main characters, it will definitely be a hit!" As Gordon spoke, his eyes involuntarily turned into dollar signs, making Vivian's mouth twitch.
"Alright, remember to send me a copy when it's published…"
In the world of pirates, there are currently very few magazines. Most civilians or pirates still only buy newspapers to get world news and to pass the time. If Gordon could produce some quality magazines, he might quickly capture this market and become a pioneer.
Thinking of this, Vivian suddenly started considering investing some money to help Gordon start a magazine company.
After making quite a bit of money recently, he was indeed tempted to quit and go into business on the sea.
Soon, an hour later.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the sky gradually darkened.
Walking through the streets of the Kingdom of Dressrosa with four or five hundred marines, it didn't take long before Senor Pink, a cadre of the Donquixote family, appeared before them.
"Are you Kizaru's subordinates?"
"No." Seeing the other party looking at him, Vivian pointed to Momousagi standing beside him and said, "Didn't you see Admiral Momousagi here? In front of our Lady Momousagi, what is Kizaru?"
All the marines: ╭(°A°`)╮
Pink: "…"
The atmosphere fell into a brief silence.
Both sides stared at each other for a long time before Pink spoke again, "What are you doing here in the Kingdom of Dressrosa with so many people?"
As he finished speaking.
[Option 1: Tell Senor Pink to go back and inform Doflamingo that you are here to capture him and he should prepare to die! (Reward: Triple Attribute Boost)]
[Option 2: Capture Senor Pink on the spot. (Reward: Random Basic Attribute +1)]
[Option 3: Answer "We are just passing through, leaving soon," and immediately leave the Kingdom of Dressrosa. (Penalty: Considered a failed pre-mission, All Attributes -50)]
Vivian immediately drew his Blood Demon sword from his waist and slashed at Senor Pink.
