Ch 5 : Another beauty comes

I am a rich second generation in One Piece Ch 5

"Hello, King Cobra," Seth walked over with a smile.

King Cobra nodded and laughed at Seth's basic courtesy. Indeed, he was very satisfied with this future son-in-law of him.

Seth and King Cobra then began to talk about the daily life of the family, the state's affairs, and so on.

As the son of a successful merchant, Seth is very good at making conversations.

He was also an eloquent and fluent speaker. He also knew a bit about Alabasta's current affair, which made the flow of their conversation very smooth.

But as time passed by; Finally, the main topic gets mentioned.

"King Cobra, actually I'm here to break my engagement with Vivi." Seth mentioned his original goal here.

" !!! "

The atmosphere became a bit tense when Seth eventually stated his aim. Even Vivi, who was standing silently from the side while listening to the conversation, tensed up when she heard Seth's words.

She knew just how much his father liked Seth as a person. But on the inside, she knew that this was the best for the two of them.

She thought that by annulling their engagement, Seth would not attract Crocodile's attention. But little did she know that Seth had been one of Crocodile's targets all along. To take over Alabasta, Crocodile needed a huge amount of money, and this is where Seth came to play.

Seth saw King Cobra had not responded yet, so he continued to explain:

"King Cobra, my decision is final. Vivi is a good woman, or rather, a very good woman… But we may not be suitable for each other. Marriage is a major event for two individuals. We cannot force it onto someone," Seth sighed.

King Cobra saw this and could only sigh. It seemed that it was also hard for Seth to come up with this decision, and he should not make it harder for him.

"Since you have decided, I will not persuade you anymore. A man should know what's the best for him, and I could only hope the best for you."

King Cobra then turned his head towards Vivi, "Vivi, from now on, the two of you will no longer be engaged to each other. However, I hope the two of you wouldn't forget the goodwill of the two sides and could continue to support each other …"

After that, the two continued to talk for a while, discussing their past cooperation.

It was only after lunch that Seth said goodbye and left the Alubarna castle.

. . . . . . . . .

Leaving the Alubarna castle, Seth didn't directly return to the hotel.

As for the reason, it was because he felt he was being tailed. He had confirmed with the system, and after paying some Counterattack points using his money, the system later revealed that it was Nico Robin.

Still, seeing that she had not made any move until now. It seemed she didn't really have any bad intentions toward him. For Nico Robin, Seth's feeling was a bit mixed.

He did like Nico Robin from the original anime, but right now, they stood on opposite sides, and he still needed to be careful about her.

But when Seth was still leisurely walking in the Alubarna while slowly trying to discover Robin's aim of tailing him, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.

[ Ding!!! One of the main characters, Vivi had increased her impression of the host! Counterattack point +200!]

Seth had a faint smile when he heard the reward prompt.

It seemed it was true; being a licking dog would not gain anything.

[But even when facing the king, unexpectedly, you replied so calmly and briefly]

"Well, otherwise? I don't have any other choice.. There's a saying in my original world, take a step back to see the bigger picture" Seth said with a faint smile.

[ Well, the system doesn't know much about love, but why don't you try and use this to your advantage and strike the iron while it's hot? If you think from another point of view, you have just gained 200 counterattack points. You will need to exchange 20 million belis for the same number of counterattack points from the system!]

" Sadly, it won't work that way. For now, the best option is to make some distance. But don't worry, we will have a lot of future contacts. And as for now, I already have some matters on hand." Seth displayed a faint smile while conversing.

[ ??? ]

It was clear that the system was a bit confused with Seth's meaning. But Seth's attention was no longer on the system but rather on the figure in front of him.

After walking for so long, it seemed the other party could no longer maintain her patience and decided to show herself.

In front of Seth stood a beautiful girl with a revealing cowgirl outfit consisting of a purple cleavage-exposing corset and matching miniskirt.

She had a tall and slender body with shoulder-length black hair and eyes that had dark, wide pupils. Her skin was a bit tanned, but it didn't diminish her charm at all. Rather, it gave her a new fresh charm that someone like Vivi wouldn't have.

' Nico Robin….' Seth easily recognized the identity of the person ahead of her.

But just like how Seth was able to easily recognize her, the other party also seemed to be able to recognize Seth in one glance.

" Seth Holzberg, right? Can we have a talk?"

Nico Robin opened her mouth as she tried to invite Seth with her. Normally, Seth wouldn't easily agree to this kind of invitation. His current identity was a rich second generation, and it was not something that people could easily offend.

However, the other side was Nico Robin, and Seth could only make an exception.

He nodded his head as he slowly followed Nico Robin. But while Robin was not looking, he was secretly conversing with the system.

' Pst, system, could I borrow some money first?'

[ Hmm??? Well, normally, it shouldn't be possible host. But the systtem would make an exception for this time. The host could borrow up to one billion worth of upgrade points, and if the host paid it back under one moth, the system would not charge any interest.]

' That's good, then.. please upgrade my charm to its maximum limit!'
