Chapter 113 The player finally kicked Kuzan...
The meeting lasted for three days.
From the initial large-scale meetings, to later meetings with reduced staff limited to core members, and even the most egregious one-on-one small meetings...
Violet didn't know what agreements the other Shichibukai had reached with the World Government and the Navy in private. In any case, in addition to responding to the mandatory summons order, Violet also had to pay 10% of R'lyeh's revenue to the World Government.
Correspondingly, the R'lyeh Fruit and Vegetable Express will be endorsed by the Navy and the World Government, becoming a legal and compliant commodity express line that can operate throughout the four seas and all member republics.
As for areas beyond the reach of the World Government, they also implied that Violet could boldly and actively develop her business, since they would sit back and wait to share the profits, and they wouldn't care if she was robbed.
Violet: You heartless bastards!
Besides the outcomes of these talks concerning the interests of all three parties, Violet also subtly hinted to the Navy and the World Government to quickly decide on the fourth Emperor of the Sea, as she couldn't wait (to find all the [mysterious treasure maps])!
Navy and World Government: ? ? ?
What does this have to do with you?
The bewildered Navy and World Government responded with platitudes and official refrains, saying they would hurry. Only then did Violet shake hands with them, satisfied, to conclude the conversation.
After the meeting, the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Marines, having basically obtained what they wanted, immediately grew to loathe each other, wishing they could close the meeting room door and never see each other again.
After politely declining Hawkeye's offer to take her to Kuraigana Island to visit the farmland, and Jinbe's suggestion to drop her off on the way, Val first bought all the souvenirs and local specialties she needed to bring back for the islanders according to her shopping list, and then—
As agreed, they climbed through Kuzan's window in the middle of the night.
Kuzan, jolted awake from his dream, lifted his blindfold, looked at Violet standing at the head of his bed, and then at the bright moonlight outside.
Kuzan: ?
Blinking his sleepy eyes, Kuzan wondered if he was actually dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.
As Kuzan leaned against the headboard, clutching the blanket, and was wondering whether he should lie down and go back to sleep before getting up in a different position, he saw Violet nonchalantly setting up Den Den Mushi in the corner of his bedroom.
Kuzan: ? ? ?
"……What are you doing?"
The scene was so bizarre, so dreamlike, that Kuzan forgot to ask Violet how she got into his room.
While adjusting the angle of the recording Den Den Mushi, Vera replied, "Set up Den Den Mushi and record the footage in a moment."
How did Violet, a Shichibukai, pinpoint the exact location of Vice Admiral Kuzan's residence?
The answer is simple: it was kindly provided by the enthusiastic old man, Garp, in the beginner village.
According to the deal between Violet and Garp, when Violet was going to "kick Kuzan's ass," she was supposed to invite him along to watch the show.
However, an unexpected incident occurred. Violet had just played the good girl in front of the Warring States Marshal and did not want to let this elder be disillusioned too soon.
So Violet decided to sneak in quietly, without making a sound, set up a recording Den Den Mushi, film the whole thing, and then send a copy to Garp.
It's a bit of a shame that we can't see it live, but we can watch the recording repeatedly.
Kuzan, leaning against the headboard, scratched his head as he looked at Violet's expectant expression: "...Do we really have to fight?"
Violet nodded vigorously: "Yes! Yes!"
Why.
Kuzan sighed and stood up: "I'm going to change my clothes." He was still in his pajamas, that rude brat!
After taking two steps toward the bedroom door, Kuzan turned back and pointed at Violet: "Go to the backyard and put your... you know... your Den Den Mushi in the backyard too."
Violet looked around and realized that the bedroom wasn't a very big space for her and Kuzan to make their moves, so she obediently nodded: "Okay!"
Watching Violet quickly pack up her Den Den Mushi and skillfully climb out the window, Kuzan couldn't help but sigh wearily.
Why!
——
"Pfft, hahaha!"
As Violet left Marineford, the echo of Karp's loud laughter could still be heard.
Well.
Vera subconsciously rubbed her shoulder, which had been stabbed the night before. After being treated with honey ointment, the wound had completely healed and was no longer visible.
Kuzan lived in the naval family quarters, and to avoid disturbing the residents, he specially made a thick layer of ice to block out the sound before the official battle began.
In the end, well, although Violet was much more seriously injured than Kuzan, Violet is, after all, a player who can heal infinitely and had prepared plenty of healing items for this battle.
Kuzan, who had been dragged out of bed, couldn't take it anymore after being chased by Violet, who was full of energy, for half the night. Violet seized the opportunity and kicked him hard in the butt.
To be honest, the moment Violet kicked him, more than surprise and lingering fear, the feeling that surged in Kuzan's heart was one of relief.
It's finally over.
Garp looked at his disciple, whose eyes were practically squinting, and for a moment, his expression turned serious: "You went easy on me?"
“How could that be, Mr. Garp?” Kuzan said in a deep voice. “You saw that video too, didn’t you?”
"That kid is improving really fast."
Garp and Kuzan are both guys who can call themselves "geniuses," but seeing how much Violet's strength has improved in such a short time still makes one feel a little emotional.
She said she had no interest in being a pirate.
"Hmph, that brat doesn't want to be a navy officer either!"
It's heartbreaking to think that such a promising talent isn't in their navy. Humph!
"Well..." Garp turned and left, but Kuzan still stood on the shore, gazing in the direction where Violet had gone.
The ship had completely disappeared from the horizon, and all that could be seen was the azure sea surface rippling in the breeze.
I hope this wind will continue to blow calmly like this.
——
"I'm planning a trip to Sphinx Island."
“Sphinx…” Katakuri repeated, “Whitebeard’s island?”
Yes, this time, Violet is going to Sphinx Island to see what's hidden in the place circled on the [mysterious treasure map].
If, as she suspected, Sphinx Island also harbors the remains of a massive statue similar to those on Whole Cake Island, then Violet felt it was necessary to make another trip to Kaido's headquarters.
As for the fourth Sea Emperor, Violet had been subtly urging them to finalize the appointment both during meetings and in private conversations with Sengoku.
"Is Katakuri coming along?"
Violet felt the chances were slim. After leaving Marineford, Katakuri hadn't even removed his [transvestite stockings] disguise, which showed that this powerful pirate wasn't as free as he seemed.
Sigh, it's all about one's family of origin.
As expected, Katakuri shook his head and declined Violet's invitation.
"Wano Country, where Kaido is located, has always been in a state of isolation, and even Mom doesn't know the specific situation inside."
Katakuri knew that Violet and the Whitebeard Pirates had a good personal relationship. Putting aside the opposing positions of the two Yonko crews, Katakuri himself had a very high opinion of Newgate's character.
As for Kaido, Katakuri only knows that when the Rocks Pirates were still around, his mother and Kaido had a good relationship. However, after Rocks died, the pirate crew disbanded, and the subordinate pirates went their separate ways to develop their own forces, his mother and Kaido basically had no contact anymore.
But Katakuri knew that Kaido was not as rough and carefree as he appeared. The guy's true nature was cruel and unpredictable. In addition, the appearance of a stranger in Wano Country, which was in a state of isolation, would be too conspicuous. Katakuri did not agree with Violet's idea of going there for adventure.
Vera analyzed the information Katakuri had provided.
The fact that Wano Country is closed off is indeed a problem, but it's certainly not as isolated as the rumors suggest, otherwise even Kaido's own Beasts Pirates wouldn't be able to survive.
The intense, unbearable gaze made it impossible for Violet to continue thinking. She looked up at Katakuri and asked in confusion, "What?"
"Undo what you did to me."
Well, so we've finally come to this topic?
Violet: "What if I say no?"
Katakuri, with his actions, grabbed at Violet, the rice wrapped in Armament Haki. He answered Violet's question with his actions.
If you don't want to break off the relationship, then go back to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand with him and stay by his side forever.
The anxiety caused by separation did disappear after seeing Vera, but the desire to see Vera every moment, to smell Vera's scent every moment, and to hear Vera's voice every moment did not disappear because of this meeting. Instead, it burned more and more fiercely like a fire doused with hot oil.
Katakuri decides to capture Violet and bring her back to Whole Cake Island, where he will imprison her in a hard mochi house made of glutinous rice, placing her alongside fragrant black tea and delicious donuts, making her a "delicacy" exclusively for his enjoyment.
"Don't worry, I will go to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand again to find you."
After finding all the [mystery treasure maps], Violet will move all the sculpture fragments together and try to assemble them.
But not now.
Using an ice wall to envelop the two of them, Violet patted Katakuri's head during a brief moment of dodging, and then, in the instant he was stunned, her hand moved down to grab his scarf and pull it downwards.
Katakuri's eyes widened, and he instinctively raised his hand to cover his mouth.
But it was too late; Violet had already seen his face, his catfish-like mouth, and the grotesque stitches on his sides.
"What? Isn't it kind of cute?"
Violet's smile overlapped with that of the afternoon tea in her dream.
She was smiling at her mouth at the time, without any sign of panic or disgust.
“Next time, when it’s just the two of us, please don’t wear that scarf, okay?” Vera asked. “I want to see what you really look like.”
Before Katakuri could react to what Violet said, Violet took out her teleportation staff and teleported Katakuri randomly away.
The ice melted and shattered. Luo looked at the island lord, who was grinning foolishly while holding a teleportation staff: "The person's gone?"
"Um."
Violet stretched: "I wonder when we'll see each other again... Wait, did I forget to tell him R'lyeh's address?"
Never mind, that's not important. With the Sea Emperor's intelligence network, there are plenty of ways to contact her.
It's a pity that the [transgender stockings] item was teleported away with Katakuri. At first, I thought that thing was useless, but I didn't expect that this game would have a setting where you can change your gender and your true identity won't be discovered.
Despite wearing clothes and having an appearance that Violet found incredibly recognizable, not a single person recognized "Kururi" as Katakuri.
While inwardly marveling at the game's NPCs' blindness, Violet also felt a pang of regret at discarding this disguise artifact.
However, considering that she would have to travel all the way to Marine Headquarters just to see him, and his somewhat suffocating patriarch, His Majesty the Emperor, Violet felt that if she wanted to see Katakuri again, it would be necessary to leave that item to him.
"Ah, anyway, I'll reserve a place for him in R'lyeh."
Violet was determined to get her hands on this rare and cool "mount".
Luo did not object to the island lord's idea; if the island lord wanted it, then so be it.
As for Katakuri's identity and Charlotte Linlin's potential wrath, these are things that need to be considered later in the face of Violet's will.
Luo silently made a note of the need to prepare for possible future shocks.
"ah……"
Violet saw a flash of blue light in the sky, and within a few breaths, the blue light rapidly expanded and rushed straight toward them.
A magnificent phoenix wreathed in blue flames gripped the bow of the armored ship, and Marco raised his arm, still in wing form, to greet them.
"Long time no see, Violet!"
"My father sent me to pick you up and take you to Sphinx Island."

Author's Note: Kuzan: There was once a well-behaved girl named Robin in front of me, but I didn't cherish her, until Violet appeared in front of me...
Raising kids is so hard! [crying emoji]
