Thunder Demon Luffy's

Chapter 55's

Luffy then turned towards the princess causing her to retreat in fear. "Don't worry princess, I'm not here to hurt you," Luffy said to his surprise.

"Then why are you here?" He asked in a voice filled with fear.

"I'm here to make a contract" Luffy said puzzlingly. "You know, Igaram asked me to protect you and return you safely to your kingdom, and in exchange, I wanted Alabasta to be my territory," Luffy said causing the princess' eyes to widen.

"What!?" he yelled.

"Of course, he couldn't promise something like that. So, he told me to talk to you about it. So here I am" he said as he walked into a box nearby and sat down.

"And what exactly should we give in return for your protection?" Vivi asked causing Luffy to smile.

"Nothing" said Luffy to his surprise. "The fact that I will have a great country like Alabasta as one of my territories will be enough to increase my reputation in the world" Luffy said making Vivi understand now.

Zoro and the bounty hunter duo don't understand why Luffy didn't ask for something else, like money every month or something like that, as payment for his protection.

"It can't be just that" Vivi said thinking in the same way as Luffy's crew.

"You're right" Luffy said, drawing everyone's attention. "But it's not a conversation that should be spoken out in the open like this" said Luffy knowing full well that they were being spied on.

"But, do you mind telling me why a princess like you works at the Baroque Works?" Luffy asked while looking at the Princess. The princess's face looked sad as she looked at the ground before she spoke.

"As you know, Arabasta was in the midst of a civil war, one day I learned of a secret organization called the Baroque Works. I knew that our people were being manipulated by this organization, but that was the only information I could gather about this organization.

I didn't know what to do so I went to Igaram for help and asked him to help me infiltrate the Baroque Works so I could see who was behind the scenes and what they really wanted, "vivi said surprised them. .

"Well, you have a lot of guts considering you're a princess" Nami said as she walked out of a nearby alley.

"Where is Igaram?" Luffy asked.

"He said he'd be here any minute" she said as Nami sat next to Luffy. "Something about the business he has to deal with" he said.

"So, did you manage to figure out what their plan was?" Johnny asked Vivi causing everyone to look at her.

"Their plan was to create an ideal country" Vivi said, surprising Luffy and the others. "That's what Igaram told me" he said.

"It was just a false goal that the boss used to cover their tracks," Vivi said as she clenched her fists. "Their goal was actually to take over the Kingdom of Arabasta," Vivi said causing Luffy to nod his head because it made more sense than making the country ideal.

"I must return to Arabasta so that I can warn everyone and stop all wars, for if I do not ..." The princess said before she started crying.

"Don't worry Princess," said Luffy attracting her attention. "If you agree to my terms, I will help you save your country" he said before rising from his seat and looking up at the sky.

"By the way, have you ever found the boss's identity?" Luffy asked which made him panic.

"What? ... Boss' identity? .. You shouldn't have asked that!" Vivi screamed in panic.

"But you know, right?" Luffy asked while looking at her.

"Ask me anything but that!" Vivi shouted as she waved her hand frantically in the air. "If I tell you, your life will be in danger as well," he said trying to make Luffy understand the danger while Luffy found this all very amusing.

"Yes, I don't want to hear," Nami said in a frightened voice. "Because this guy is trying to take over a country. I don't want someone like that chasing after me," Nami said as she sweated a little.

"No, you don't want to" Vivi said in a serious tone. "I don't care how strong you are, you have no chance against any of the Seven Shichibukai, against Crocodile," vivi said causing everyone to stare at her and blink a few times before Vivi and Nami screamed loudly.

"AHHH!" they're yelling.

"You know for a princess you're not very smart" Luffy laughed. Then suddenly Luffy sensed someone behind them and spun around quickly startling everyone.

What a strange sight to behold Luffy said in his mind. Nami begins to panic and tries to leave by claiming that they don't know what her face looks like, until Otter appears again and brings five photos of them all that have been drawn, which is what they've been drawn, causing Nami to sulk in the corner while Vivi apologizes to him. .

"Then, it looks like the five of us will be sitting at the very top of the Baroque Works search list," Zoro said causing Luffy to laugh.

"It seems so," Luffy replied excitedly before he looked towards the princess. "So princess, do we agree?" luffy said he got his attention.

"Seeing how you've been involved because of me, I thought I'd accept your offer," she replied causing Luffy to smile.

"We're all going to die" Nami shouted and swung herself back and forth while hugging her knees.

"You don't have to be afraid!" came Igaram's voice from behind everyone that caused them all to turn around.

When they all turned around Luffy and the other man immediately wished they hadn't turned around. Standing in front of them was Igaram who was dressed like Princess Vivi holding five puppets.

"My eyes," said Luffy as he looked at Igaram.

"This-uhuk uhuk - Ma ~ ma ~ ma ~ this will be fine, princess," he said as he stared at the group. "I've made a plan" he added causing Luffy to raise his eyebrows.

"What salt are you ...?" the princess tried to speak but was too stunned by Igaram's appearance.

"I didn't know you were the crossdresser's old man" Luffy joked.

"Listen to me carefully, Princess Vivi," he said in a serious tone. "Once Baroque Works' intelligence unit finds out about what's going on here, agents will be sent after you. And since they are aware that you know the true identity of their boss, you should—" he said but was interrupted by Vivi.

"Yes, they're going to send a thousand agents after me" he said, making Nami more afraid.

"So my plan, disguised like this, I'll pretend to be you, '" Igaram said as he looked at Vivi. "I'll take these three dolls aboard and I'll sail straight to Alabasta" he said causing Luffy to understand his plan.

"So, this doll should be us," Luffy said as he nodded his head.

"Feed," Yosaku added.

"While the Baroque Works were busy chasing me, all of you would head to the Kingdom of Alabasta following an indirect route," he said causing Luffy to nod his head to understand the plan.

"Wait a minute!" Nami screamed as she got up. "Who said we'd take him with us and we haven't discussed payment yet!" Nami yelled causing everyone to look at her like she was crazy.

"Umm, I decided that we'll take her and we've already discussed the payment," Luffy said as he looked at her with a puzzled look. "Have you not noticed before?" Luffy asked.

"But what about Crocodile !?" Nami shouted once more.

"Relax, a shichibukai you have nothing to fear" Luffy said as he waved his hand in a disdainful manner. Now everyone was staring at Luffy like he was growing a second head. "Moreover it looks like it's going to be a fun adventure" Luffy added with a wide grin on his face.

"We will forever be indebted, thank you," Igaram said before he walked towards the sea where a ship docked and jumped. "Now I'm Vivi going to get out of here," said Igaram impersonating Vivi causing everyone to laugh. Vivi and Igaram bid farewell and the ship sailed off the island.

"He's a good old man" Johnny said as he stared at the ship.

"Yes, right," Zoro added. Everyone stared at the ship as it sailed further and further away. When the ship was about half a mile away from the Island, it was suddenly swallowed up in a giant explosion that caused everyone's eyes to widen in shock.

"Holy****, EVERYONE GET ON BOARD RIGHT NOW!" Luffy shouted at all of them. "Johnny! My yosaku! Zoro! get the others! Hurry along!" Luffy shouted causing the three of them to run away together with Nami.

Luffy looked back at the explosion and spoke. "I didn't think they would chase us this early," he said before turning to the princess who was frozen in shock.

Luffy ran towards her and carried her in bridal style before teleporting back to the bar where the others were.
