Chapter 353 - Viola Princess.

Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]

Third Person POV

New World.

...

...

The entire ship was on its knees at this moment, even Gladius was on the ground, staring fearfully at Luffy.

"So I'm leaving these two with you. I want you to sail calmly in the middle of the sea until I return, and just to be sure, I'm making a vivre card of Gladius and Caesar, after all, I can't let them go, otherwise, I'll have to kill them," Luffy spoke calmly as all the Donquixote minions trembled on the ground and Gladius was not much different, as angry as he was at the Straw Hats, he cared more about his life than the feeling of revenge and now knew that Vergo had been brutally killed, how could he deal with someone who cut a mountain with a whole laboratory not long ago?

Luffy nodded, seeing the silence and the fear in their eyes, and grabbed the two prisoners and threw them in the middle of the deck. "I'm going to do something important at sea at this moment, so it's better you do exactly as I said... after all, I don't want to kill you," Luffy said with a very firm tone, while everyone felt fear, with Caesar being the most fearful, starting to cry wanting to wake up from this nightmare.

Luffy approached the frightened Caesar and took one of his hairs and did the same with Gladius, while doing what he learned with Yamato during their travels, Luffy was not just a captain who gave orders and planned the future of the crew, but also lived learning things with his companions, whether making vivre card with Yamato, learning to read poneglyphs with Robin, feeling the weather with Nami, and learning to be a better swordsman with stealing or a better shooter with Usopp.

After that, Luffy smiled at everyone. "I'm leaving, see you in about 2 days. Goodbye," Luffy said and disappeared the next moment, flying high, leaving Punk Hazard behind, while following the path to Dressrosa with his second Eternal Pose of the 3 on his arm, disappearing into the middle of the sky.

Dressrosa is known as the land of fairies, the land of romances and passion, while countless toys walked through all the streets of the city, couples met and kissed, while some toys seemed enraged with them, but they didn't care.

"This is terrible!!!" Trebol shouted quickly in a meeting where the crew members gathered there to discuss urgent matters and this time it was a very delicate issue, after all, there was a vivre card starting to disappear while burning quickly in front of everyone.

"Vergo is dying!!" Diamante was shocked by this, after all, Vergo was one of the Elite members and there were only 4 of them, being Trebol, Pica, Diamante himself, and Vergo, with the latter about to die.

"He was in Punk Hazard to escort Dr. Caesar Crown to Wano... something happened..." Pica said in his thin tone.

The other members also looked around with tense and fearful glances. "We should call Gladius... he must know what's going on!" He said and they tried to make a call, but the den den mushi wasn't working, after all, Luffy made sure to remove all of them from the ship as soon as he left.

"Buffalo, go there immediately!" Pica exclaimed while he nodded immediately, leaving through the window.

"Viola. I want to know about anything suspicious that might show up here, you understand?" Trebol said and Viola in a corner nodded.

Viola was quite confused, it seemed that all Joker's allies were turning against him and his family was not managing the situation. Even with Kaido's name on them, some forces didn't seem to care, not believing that the family would continue with their arms sales as they had provided before.

The meeting began and many members began to cry with the fall of Vergo as his paper disappeared completely, showing that he died. Viola spent a day thinking about what to do and when she went to her room the next day planning to see her niece at the coliseum today, since this kingdom belonged to Kaido now, she feared for her father's death, she needed to find a way to keep him safe.

But as soon as she reached the door, she immediately opened her eyes with her X-ray vision, while she was paralyzed, debating whether to open the doorknob or not. In the end, she nervously opened the door with the room appearing to her while there was a man near the window looking at the kingdom.

"I was wondering how long you would stand at the door and for a moment I thought you were going to call the rest of the Donquixote family... Princess Viola," Luffy commented calmly without turning to the woman.

"Monkey D. Luffy... You are here..." Viola murmured.

"Yes... I came here from Punk Hazard," Luffy spoke as Viola opened her eyes at that moment.

"So you...?" She asked, shocked.

"If I killed Vergo and captured Caesar Crown? Yes..." Luffy admitted.

"..." Viola was still quite surprised by this and she almost wanted to know the intentions of this man as she began to activate her eyes.

"If you try to read my mind, I won't be kind at all, princess of Dressrosa," Luffy immediately warned, he did not want someone reading his mind.

"!" Viola quickly deactivated her eyes to not enrage the pirate in front of her. "But... but what do you want? What are you doing here?" She asked cautiously.

"You want this country to be free again, I heard it's now Kaido's territory..." Luffy said.

"Yes... it belongs to Kaido, are you planning to take him down?" Viola asked, Luffy had beaten Kaido in the war, so she was thinking that he really could defeat him.

"I plan to take him down, but not now," Luffy said.

"But..." Viola with a glint of hope to see this kingdom finally free, insisted, but Luffy shook his head.

"I know you want to take this kingdom out of the beast pirates' hands as soon as possible. And I could even free them, by going into the factory and beating up that brat who turns people into toys..." Luffy finally turned to Viola. "But I won't be at sea next year, so even if I defeat the Donquixote family here, Kaido will send forces and I can't be here..." Luffy spoke, he had no plans yet to go into a war now, waiting for his entire crew to be ready for such a thing.

"..." Viola didn't know what to say about this, but still, she looked at Luffy with some hope. "But you will come to this country in the future then, you will go to war with Kaido...?" She asked as Luffy shook his head.

"But what do you plan, why do you want to help Dressrosa?" Viola couldn't help asking, it was strange Luffy's actions or why he was here to talk to her after everything.

"I intend to make this place my territory, but I won't govern it, I'll leave that to your father, putting him back on the throne again and restoring the royal family's name again," Luffy commented.

Viola wasn't so surprised by the first statement, after all, Luffy wouldn't help them for nothing, but the second part left her eyes shining with hope, she was ready to beg him to do just that no matter the cost, as long as he saved her father. "Thank you..." She murmured in the end while looking at Luffy with a glow of admiration.

"It's alright, after all, I don't want to be the ruler of countries with my flag, but that doesn't mean I don't have norms and I plan to call them at a time to fight with me, but I am just, all the kingdoms with me, are growing very well," Luffy said and Viola was surprised by this information.

"You have territories?" She couldn't help but ask.

Luffy just smiled, "I've been conquering territories ever since I set out to sea..." He said. "I know I'm known around the world as the Yonkou without territory, actually, I'm quite surprised with the newspapers talking about me here," Luffy pointed to a newspaper on Viola's headboard, which she had received a few days ago, it was Luffy's bounty and his crew with new reports.

"Besides..." He continued while pointing to the wall with a photo of his bounty and several articles about him kept under the bed. "Didn't know I had a fan in this place..." He said, making Viola immediately open her eyes with this.

"This... isn't what you're thinking!" She replied with a somewhat desperate tone, while turning red with embarrassment at this moment.

"It's okay... let's just say you're no Stalker," He replied with a smile while the woman seemed to get even redder with that.

"I'm no Stalker..." Viola murmured.

"Anyway... I didn't come here just to talk about some of my plans," Luffy began as Viola tried to regain her composure to listen to him.

"What you want... if you are fair, the royal family will be grateful and follow you," Viola replied.

"I planned to have Lami free this country while she kills Doflamingo. But as you can see... she did it herself in the war and Doflamingo is dead, so I thought of another way to fight for this country, since just coming here and defeating all the remaining members of Joker is too easy..." Luffy said, not wanting to do everything alone, what's the concept of a crew then? "I want one person to do this." He spoke in the end.

"One person?" Viola didn't know what Luffy was talking about.

"I want Princess Rebecca, I came here to pick her up," Luffy said.

"Rebecca?!" Viola was surprised by this.

"Yes, my intentions are not bad, but I want to recruit her into my crew and give her the strength to free the country..." Luffy said, he always had in mind the ideal crew to conquer the seas and handpicked his future crew members, Rebecca was always someone he intended to have as well.

"You intend to do this..." Viola was somewhat suspicious of Luffy's actions, even a bit jealous that it wasn't her he was looking for his crew.

Luffy guessed what she was thinking. "Your skills are very useful, and I plan to make use of them in the future, but now you need to stay in the kingdom. To keep it, after all, the people of Dressrosa still need to see the royal family on this land. I don't believe anything will happen to Dressrosa this year, just keep things as they are. When we act it will be quick and to the point, the Donquixote family will be destroyed and Dressrosa will be safe while we are in this sea," Luffy spoke.

"Yes... but what do you intend to do with my niece...?" Viola began to understand Luffy's reasoning, but still didn't understand how he would make Rebecca as strong as he claims.

"See this fruit?" Luffy showed the pink fruit to Viola. "It's a replica of Kaido's fruit, although not perfect, it is still very similar," Luffy declared while Viola was shocked by this information.

"Really...? This fruit is like that of the Yonkou?" She murmured.

"Yes, anyway, take this," Luffy handed a den den mushi to Viola. "If everything is working as usual, avoid contacting, but if something happens, call me," Luffy requested, and Viola stepped forward, taking the den den mushi before looking at Luffy gratefully.

"Thank you," she couldn't help but murmur with a blush.

"It's okay, Rebecca is in the arena and they are having games today..." Luffy looked back out, towards the coliseum in the middle of the city.

"Yes... members of the Donquixote family are trying to keep order in the kingdom and believe that keeping people busy fighting will work," Viola responded while Luffy nodded.

"Alright, I will take Rebecca to get her out of the kingdom. You don't need to lie when they ask who attacked the coliseum, but keep it discreet and contact me if something happens to you or Dressrosa," Luffy requested.

"Yes," Viola responded in the same tone as before.

"Anyway, I'm going. I need to save a princess while she is forced to wear erotic clothes in front of the whole kingdom, that's too disgusting," Luffy spoke with some disdain.

"..." Viola just looked at him as Luffy merely smiled.

"See you later. I hope we meet soon, Princess Viola," he said before jumping into the air out of the window and flying towards the coliseum as fast as he could.

"..." Viola continued to look at Luffy disappearing with her own thoughts, while placing the den den mushi she received on her right chest with quite conflicting thoughts while keeping the image of Luffy in her mind with a blush on her face.
