Chapter 123 The Town of Conspiracy!
Chapter 123 The Town of Conspiracy!
Picking up where we left off, and along with two people who call themselves Mrs. Wednesday and Mr. 9, Luffy and his crew head towards Whiskey Mountain, their destination...
During the journey, just when Nami thought the ship was moving in a straight line, Mrs. Wednesday pointed out that the ship had deviated from its course. Nami checked the log pointer and found that it was indeed as Mrs. Wednesday had said. Seeing this, Nami decisively told Luffy and the others to change course, so that they did not go to the wrong place.
When Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Whiskey Mountain, the locals lined the streets to welcome them. Seeing this, Goten couldn't help but ask curiously, "How strange, why is there a town cheering for pirates?"
Faced with Goten's questioning, Mr. 9 immediately explained, "The people here don't harbor any hostility towards pirates. They are all very kind and friendly, so there has never been an incident of pirates launching an attack here..."
Goten remained silent upon hearing this. When the Going Merry docked, people swarmed Luffy and his crew off the ship, then promptly offered them fine wine and food, along with beautiful women. Everyone except Goten was instantly swept away by the allure of these women…
Seeing this, Goten ate a little something and went back to the ship to watch over it. The others continued to enjoy the food and wine. Before they knew it, night had fallen. After Luffy and the others fell fast asleep, Mrs. Wednesday and Mr. 9 dropped their pretense and immediately bared their fangs at the townspeople, drawing their weapons and preparing to take down Luffy and his crew...
Just as they were shouting in unison, ready to go all out, Zoro suddenly appeared on the rooftop and shouted to them, "Looks like you guys finally couldn't resist showing your fangs. Alright then, I'll play with you a little!"
The moment they saw Zoro, those with guns immediately used them, while those with knives quickly chased after him. Zoro easily blocked the oncoming bullets, and then, facing the charging minions, he effortlessly KO'd them one by one.
After the small fry were mostly dealt with, a muscular woman suddenly appeared from behind Zoro. With her superb arm strength, she successfully knocked Zoro back a step or two. Just as Zoro was about to retaliate, Mr. 9 leaped down from the sky and swung his iron rod down heavily...
Facing Mr-9's sneak attack, Zoro blocked the attack with just the cursed sword Kitetsu. At this moment, the muscular woman suddenly threw a punch at Zoro, but Zoro blocked it with Yubashiri. Facing the two of them attacking at the same time, Zoro used a dual-sword style - "Tornado" to blow the two away and knock them out on the spot.
Just then, Mrs. Wednesday suddenly jumped in front of Zoro and inexplicably started to flirt and sway her body. Zoro, speechless, said bluntly, "My beauty trap doesn't work on me!"
However, Mrs. Wednesday smugly declared, "A honey trap? Not at all. It seems you haven't realized it yet. My love potion has already paralyzed your body..."
Zoro only then noticed the strangeness in his body upon hearing this, but it was too late. At that moment, Mrs. Wednesday's partner, Icarum, had already pointed the weapon hidden in her curly hair at Zoro. Zoro knew something was wrong...
Just as Icarus was about to launch an attack, Goten suddenly appeared, kicking Icarus off the building with one kick, and shouted to Mrs. Wednesday, "Hey, Miss, someone's looking for you, look behind you!"
Mrs. Wednesday turned around and saw a man with an afro and a blonde woman with an umbrella. Mrs. Wednesday was shocked to see them and demanded, "Mr. 5, Mrs. Valentine! What are you doing here!"
Upon hearing this, the blonde woman laughed loudly and said, "Of course I'm here on a mission. I'm here to eliminate the undercover agents of the Baroque Works, so I've come to find you, Princess Vivi!" The speaker was none other than Mrs. Valentine.
Mr.-5 with the afro continued, "Despite your best efforts to hide your identity, what you've done to us is nothing but a self-deceiving monologue. Now prepare to die..."
As he spoke, Mr-5 picked out a booger and flicked it at Vivi. When Vivi dodged, she was blown away by the explosion caused by the booger. At this moment, Mr-5 introduced himself: "I am the Explosion Man who ate the Explosion Fruit. I can use things as bombs, so feel the fear."
Seeing this, Vivi immediately summoned her pet and partner, Karoo, and attacked Mr. Valentine without hesitation. However, just as she was about to hit him, he suddenly jumped into the sky. Mr. Valentine, high in the sky, laughed and said, "Sorry, but I ate the Light-Light Fruit and can increase my body weight from 1 gram to a maximum of 1 kilogram!"
As Mrs. Valentine's Day suddenly gained weight, she aimed and slammed at Weiwei with lightning speed. Just as Weiwei was about to be hit, the muscular woman who had just fallen to the ground came to Weiwei's side and pushed her aside, taking the hit for her.
Upon seeing this, Vivi immediately shouted, "Mrs. Monday, why did you... even though you knew I was an undercover agent..."
Despite suffering a heavy blow, Mrs. Monday struggled to her feet again and stood in front of Vivi, saying haltingly, "We're friends, so I have to protect you!"
At this moment, Mr-9 also stood in front of Weiwei and said, "You run away quickly, leave this to me!" With that, he turned around and performed a series of backflips to attack Mr-5 and the other man...
Vivi wanted to step forward to help, but at that moment, curly-haired Icarus shouted, "Princess Vivi, leave here quickly! You still bear the fate of the nation on your shoulders. The entire nation needs you to expose that man's conspiracy. The future of Alabasta needs you!"
After hearing Icarum's words, Vivi shouted, "I'm sorry!" and turned to run away. However, Mrs. Monday and Mr. 9 were easily defeated by the Mr. 5 duo in just one round. Icarum tried to delay them, but was instantly killed by a booger bomb fired by Mr. 5...
After Mr. 5 and his companion chased after Vivi, Goten and Zoro were about to leave when Icarus suddenly shouted at them, "Wait! You two, please go and save Princess Vivi! If you can protect her safely to Alabasta, my country will pay you a hefty reward..."
Upon hearing this, Zoro and Goten ignored him, but Nami arrived just then and said bluntly, "Sure, but we need 100 million Berries after it's done, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Icarum's eyes became uncertain, and he could only offer an evasive answer: "You should discuss this with Princess Vivi yourselves..."
Upon hearing this, Nami immediately ordered Zoro, "Alright then, Zoro! Go protect Vivi!"
Upon hearing this, Zoro immediately retorted, "Why don't you go yourself!"
Nami retorted directly, "Don't forget, you still owe me money..."
Zoro immediately retorted, "Didn't I already give it back to you?"
Nami continued to argue, "But didn't you agree to return three times the amount when you borrowed it? Do you intend to break your promise?"
Upon hearing this, Zoro was completely gripped by a chokehold and had no choice but to run towards Vivi...
