"Miss Vivi!"
Sanji's voice turned cold: "If other people on this ship heard this, you should consider how to survive in their hands."
"No one on this ship can insult Captain Gawain, not even the princess of an affiliated country under the World Government."
"Forget it. I shouldn't have come here on my own initiative."
Sanji bent down to pick up the plate on the ground, collected the leftover food from the two people, and turned and left.
Vivi looked at his back with an apology in her eyes: "Mr. Sanji, keep your word. I agree to-"
"Of course, that kind of thing is a lie."
Sanji waved his hand and slowly disappeared.
Vivi looked at Sanji's back, and what kept coming to her mind was what Sanji had just said.
She turned to look at Igaram and said: "Igaram if White Knight Gawain were to see the current state of Alabasta, would he take action?"
Igaram was silent for a moment.
In his eyes, the only connection between the monster last night, who had no murderous intent at all but was able to overwhelm everyone with his aura and his overly handsome face.
"Miss Vivi, even if we don't rely on the power of pirates, we can still rely on the World Government."
Vivi's eyes showed a hint of self-mockery: "Rely on the World Government to expel a Warlord who has been authorized by them?!"
"Don't be stupid."
"Even if we want the Marines to take action, we need evidence. But now, apart from the two of us, where are all the other people who saw Crocodile abuse the Dance Powder?"
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes..."
"The witnesses who were buried in the desert by his own hands."
As she spoke, Vivi's body was shaking.
Igaram was speechless. He raised his head subconsciously and saw Vivi's increasingly determined gaze.
"Convincing White Knight Gawain to take action is our best and only chance!"
"Otherwise, if Crocodile strikes first, even if the Marines arrive and can drive him away, the damage caused and the deaths of civilians cannot be compensated."
"This is a responsibility I must bear!"
Igaram opened his mouth.
For the first time, he saw in Vivi the awareness that a crown prince should have.
"But what can we do as prisoners?"
Vivi took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and began to sort out the clues in her mind.
"Perhaps out of absolute confidence in his own strength, White Knight Gawain did not restrict our actions on this ship. This is our chance."
"To convince him, we must first understand him."
"Since we can't communicate with him directly, let's learn from his crew members.
"At least we still have a chance before we return to Alubarna."
Igaram's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He pondered for several minutes.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Vivi's plan is feasible.
After all, what Vivi said was right. If they delay for another day, more people in Alabasta will suffer because of Crocodile's existence.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, how can they be content not to give it a try?
Besides, Vivi is the type of person who does what she says.
When she found out that Crocodile was using Dance Powder, she took immediate action, even going so far as to escape from the palace and make the bold decision to infiltrate Baroque Works.
"I see."
"Vivi-sama, I support your decision no matter what."
Igaram placed his palm on his chest, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "I will perform my duties as the captain of the royal guard until the moment of my death."
Vivi nodded heavily: "First, recover from your injuries, and then look for a suitable target. As for Mr. Jabra, we need to help him get out of trouble."
"After all, they were involved in this incident because of us."
Igaram nodded, but his brows slightly frowned: "Speaking of which, the man dressed as a shipwright with a pigeon on his shoulder in the White Knight Pirate seems to be an old acquaintance of Mr. Jabra's team."
"Perhaps we can also use this clue to try to understand the character of White Knight Gawain."
"Um."
The two of them temporarily decided on a follow-up action plan, originally intending to wait until Igaram recovered from his injuries before taking action.
But they didn't expect the opportunity to come earlier than they expected.
At night, the sky outside the window is full of stars, and the sea breeze blows in from the porthole, bringing a hint of coolness.
Vivi closed the porthole and turned around to see a familiar figure.
"You are... The raccoon, no, Mr. Chopper?!"
Chopper, with a large medicine box slung around his waist, was standing at the door, looking at them with a nervous look on his face.
Apparently, because of what happened yesterday, he was still wary of Vivi and the others.
"I'm here to help the patient change the dressing."
Vivi was stunned when she saw Chopper dressed like a doctor: "Mr. Chopper is the ship's doctor?"
"Certainly!"
Chopper raised his chin slightly, patted his chest confidently, and looked proud.
When he came on board, he took over the ship doctor job. With the praise of his two deputies, he gradually became confident in medical treatment.
"I am the chief doctor on this ship!"
Chopper's attitude, coupled with his appearance like a plush toy, made Vivi instinctively like him, and a doting smile appeared on her face.
Thinking of her actions last night, she couldn't help but say: "I'm sorry, Doctor Chopper."
Chopper was startled, raised his little hoof, and touched his head, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Of course, I can't say it's okay, asshole!"
Vivi was stunned by his inconsistent behavior: "I can understand that mean... you have forgiven us?!"
"Probably."
A bead of sweat oozed out of Igaram's forehead.
He really found it difficult to connect the cute little thing in front of him with the monster who was over four meters tall and covered with explosive muscles last night.
"No..."
"Why do you, as a doctor, have such a strong body?!"
"Such a powerful force."
Upon hearing this, Chopper stretched out his little hoof and shook it towards Igaram, his eyes sharp as he said: "Because I'm a doctor, I need to have a strong body and great strength!"
Igaram was puzzled: "Why?"
Chopper walked quickly forward and placed the medicine box next to Igaram.
The next moment.
Chopper's body expanded and turned into a muscular man over four meters tall with thick hair all over his body.
For a moment, the ward was filled with the atmosphere of philosophy.
"What is a doctor's duty?"
Igaram subconsciously clutched the quilt on the bed to his chest and said: "Cure... Cure diseases and save lives?"
"That's right!"
Chopper nodded: "But don't you notice anything wrong?"
Before Igaram could answer, Chopper explained: "Why do doctors always try to make amends after the fact?!"
"You know."
"Even if the diseases and wounds of our companions are cured, the pain they have endured cannot be made up for!"
"So I have to solve the problem fundamentally!"
These words almost coincide with Vivi's previous views on Alabasta and the Marines.
By the time everything happens, it is already too late. Making amends afterward is never as good as nipping the evil in the bud!
At this moment, Vivi took a deep breath and looked at Chopper with a look of looking at her own confidant.
"That's right, so we should nip the evil in the bud before it happens!"
But there was also a hint of confusion in Vivi's eyes: "But as a doctor, how can you do this?"
