Chapter 106: The Player Turned into a Yellow-Haired Man?
"Caw caw, caw caw, caw caw!"
Violet rolled over in frustration and covered her ears, but the hoarse voice, which sounded like a donkey braying and a duck quacking, still pierced through her palms and went straight into her ears.
Ugh, it's so noisy!
Suddenly sitting up, with dark circles under her eyes, Violet expressionlessly took out a stone spear from her pocket, flung open the tent flap, and silently walked towards the yellow duck that was circling around the camp and quacking loudly.
"How about we have duck for dinner tonight? Hahaha."
This little duck, or rather, the elk goose chick, was the only "trophy" that Violet brought back from that deserted island.
After freezing Jack and stunning Doflamingo, Violet thoughtfully thawed the Spider Queen and the Deer Goose, the two great contributors. She originally planned to let them stay on the island to breed, but unexpectedly, the egg of the Deer Goose, which Rosinante had cracked, shattered completely at that moment.
Six or seven fluffy little yellow ducks, covered in broken eggshells and soaking wet with egg liquid, rushed out of the woods and quacked loudly around the elk goose that was fighting and looking dizzy.
The bleating of the elk geese, which sounded like donkeys, was already polluting enough, but the sounds of these newly hatched ducklings were no less so. As they quacked around the elk geese like little yellow whirlwinds, Violet could see a hint of despair in the elk geese's intelligent eyes.
Violet, whose ears were ringing from the noise of the deer and geese during the battle, laughed gleefully when she saw this scene, then waved goodbye to them and returned to the armored ship with Rosinandi.
Annoyed by the ducklings' noise, the elk goose glanced at the ducklings and then at Violet's ship. No one knows what it was thinking with its seemingly dim-witted head, but without warning, it suddenly bit one of the ducklings and violently swung its head. The elk goose, like a thrown sandbag, flew in an arc and struck Violet's armored ship squarely.
The unfortunate elk and goose cub, landing headfirst, twitched their legs and immediately fainted. Meanwhile, completely bewildered, Violet and Rosinandi looked back at the deserted island, only to see their mother bray twice like a donkey, then flap her wings and fly away... away...
Helpless, Violet and Rosinante were forced to buy and sell the ducklings back to R'lyeh.
It's no wonder this elk goose cub is a descendant of the seasonal boss; it has an incredibly strong ability to adapt. After being brought to R'lyeh, it showed no signs of acclimatization problems whatsoever. It ate and slept well on the first day, and the next day it started "singing loudly" every morning in the face of the rising sun.
For several days, Violet was woken up at dawn, suffering from severe sleep deprivation and constantly on the verge of a fit of irritability. Today, her patience finally gave out, and she prepared to deliver the final blow, turning the cold, squeaking duck into warm meat and feathers.
Ginny tapped Vera on the head lightly.
Ouch!
Vera looked at Ginny with a wronged expression.
"Stop being so coquettish, Island Master. Since you've decided to raise it, then take on the responsibility."
It is a bit noisy, though...
Ginny looked left and right, then beckoned Chopper over.
Chopper, holding a quacking duckling: "Ms. Ginny?"
"Chopper, you'll take care of this little duck, just like Law took care of you back then. Chopper's a big kid now, is that alright?"
Chopper, who was gently patted on the head by Ginny, immediately nodded vigorously: "No problem, Ms. Ginny, Island Master, I will train him to become the most successful doctor!"
Little duck: "...Quack quack?"
Violet looked into the duckling's silly eyes, then recalled its mother's appearance: "...Will it work?"
"Don't discourage a child's determination so easily, Island Master."
Ginny, you just wanted Chopper and the duck to wear each other down, didn't you?
Vera looked at the smiling, perfect head of the Revolutionary Army's intelligence group with an all-knowing gaze.
Ginny walked behind Vera and gently massaged Vera's temples.
Vera closed her eyes comfortably, resting her head against Ginny's warm waist. Ginny looked down at the dark circles under Vera's eyes and said with heartache.
"The island owner has been working too hard lately and needs to get some sleep to recharge."
Since setting sail at the end of the rainy season, Violet's battles have been almost non-stop, and even someone as energetic as Violet is now showing signs of fatigue.
Otherwise, according to Violet's previous routine, she wouldn't have waited for the ducklings to wake her up; she would have been running around all over R'lyeh full of energy long before sunrise.
"call--"
Vera tilted her head to the side, and Ginny quickly supported her chin. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the island lord had already closed his eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing the steady rise and fall of Vera's chest and her relaxed expression, Ginny's gaze softened as well.
This period of time has really worn the child out.
"Take a good rest for a while, Island Master. In the meantime, leave R'lyeh to us."
While Violet was finally able to relax and fall into a deep sleep, someone else was staring at the newly issued wanted poster all night long.
Sengoku heard from Garp that his adopted son Rosinante's soul had been pulled from the Pure Land by an evil fugitive who enslaved him and made him her subordinate.
His little apple, his kind and righteous little apple, must have been forced and bewitched by that evil wanted criminal!
Right now, on the table in front of Sengoku is a photo of Vera giving a thumbs-down to the camera. Looking at her arrogant smile, and the black feather coat that Sengoku would never mistake, which is faintly visible in the corner of the wanted poster behind her.
During the Warring States period, there was a heartbreaking feeling of having one's own carefully raised, plump little pig eaten by a black-haired cabbage outside!
No, you need to calm down, Sengoku. You're a strategist in the navy, one of the few who rely on their intellect. You need to trust Rosinante, trust that he won't be defeated by just one...
"Hey, Old Deng, the pirate ship's parked right next to your house. I'm taking your kid with me, so watch out, don't let them steal my ship..."
Sengoku: "Aaaaaah, I absolutely cannot allow this to happen!!!"
"And Borsalino, turn off that damn recording Den Den Mushi! The one that was vibrating just now was a regular Den Den Mushi, you answered the wrong one again!"
Borsalino watched the Den Den Mushi playing melodramatic love stories and said, "How awful. This doesn't seem to be my Den Den Mushi. Ah, Vegabank must have accidentally mixed them up."
Borsalino has a good personal relationship with Bergabank, who is known as "the man with the world's first brain," and Borsalino is also in charge of coordinating various weapons experiments in the Science Department.
Borsalino, who was working on a highly confidential and important experimental project, received an urgent call from Sengoku this morning and rushed over using the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit.
...Begabank likes to watch this kind of stuff? You can't judge a book by its cover.
Sengoku sighed inwardly upon hearing Borsalino's words, and then confirmed the progress of the research currently being led by Vegabank, especially the most important "pacifists" and Borsalino.
Borsalino spread his palms: "Unfortunately, the research is not going very well."
“Begarabank believes that pacifist research should first find a suitable medium before moving on to purely mechanical creations.”
To this day, Vegapunk has not found anyone willing to join the experiments and who can bear the power of those machines. Caesar did suggest capturing people directly for the experiments, but unfortunately, this guy ran into pirates on his way out and is currently so badly beaten that he can't even get out of bed.
That's terrifying! Pirates these days are so arrogant, daring to intrude on the Navy's shipping lanes!
"However, the World Government recently sent over a new machine. Vegapunk seems to have gotten a lot of inspiration from it. It is said that if all goes well, the Pacifistas might be able to make a breakthrough."
"On the World Government's side, is it that flower?"
Sengoku had heard about the World Government suddenly sending a strange flower to the Science Department on behalf of the Celestial Dragons.
"It's not that flower, it's a rather strange robot. They call that thing 'Bishop'."
Although well-maintained, the [bishop's] clockwork and gears still showed signs of rust, and it was unknown whether the World Government or the Celestial Dragons had secretly hidden it for hundreds of years.
While in the science department, Borsalino got a headache just looking at the unpacked [bishop]'s box. Sure enough, everyone involved in the research was subsequently required to sign a thick stack of confidentiality agreements.
Considering the purple gem embedded in the center of the [Bishop's] head, serving as an eye and emitting light no less powerful than the Glint-Glint Fruit, Borsalino felt that Vegapunk could not only gain new inspiration for creating the Pacifista from that centuries-old machine, but might even be more powerful than they initially anticipated.
"Forget it, let Begabank deal with this kind of thing."
Sengoku waved his hand helplessly, flipped the newspaper on the table over, and pushed it in front of Borsalino.
“Vell,” Sengoku pointed to the photograph, “you should know her, right?”
"Is that the guy who escaped from Vice Admiral Garp and later defeated Doflamingo and Jack? I heard he's not even 15 years old yet, that's terrifying."
How did the World Economic News describe her? A young storm sweeping across the world.
That's really fitting.
Since Roger's death ushered in the Great Pirate Era, the number of terrifying monsters on this sea has increased year by year.
"The World Government wants her to become a Shichibukai."
"Huh, a Shichibukai?"
Borsalino was surprised for a moment, but quickly began to analyze the pros and cons of Violet becoming a Shichibukai.
The downside is that the overly good relationship between Violet and the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as with the Revolutionary Army, is detrimental to the balance of power at sea.
And the benefits...
There are too many benefits to list.
First, Violet is strong enough to even repel the combined attack of Doflamingo and Jack. Second, Violet herself doesn't have much of a desire for power; at least until now, she hasn't raised her own pirate flag. Finally, apart from causing the disappearance of a few CP9 members at the beginning of the Sabaody Archipelago incident, Violet hasn't caused any casualties. She's practically a pacifist even more so than the pacifists themselves.
"The last Shichibukai has been chosen..."
"Doflamingo."
Well, that's normal, after all, he used to be...
"So now we need to send someone to invite them to take over the title of Shichibukai?"
There's no problem with Doflamingo, since he's always shown a strong interest in the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But with Violet, they don't even know where that guy is.
"Have Jinbe inform her."
The Warring States period directly finalized the selection.
"Once Violet and Doflamingo become Shichibukai, the Navy and the World Government will issue a mandatory summons, requiring them to come to Marineford for a meeting that includes the Navy and the World Government."
"Borsalino, I need you to take charge of security for the meeting, and also keep an eye on things..."
"Among these Seven Warlords of the Sea, who are those the Navy can win over, who are those we can cooperate with, and who... we need to suppress?"

Author's Note: Rosinante: No, Violet is truly sincere towards me. She's nothing like those other bad women. [crying emoji]
