Chapter 17 Take The Princess Vivi's First Kiss! ! !

The island is called Whiskey Peak and the atmosphere is festive with colorful decorations and lively music playing. The members of Fairy Tail are excited to explore this new place and indulge in the festivities.

"What is that? A cactus? It's so big! It's almost like a mountain!" Nami was shocked by what she saw in the distance.

"Indeed, it's known as the Cactus Mountain. Its unique shape is formed by centuries of wind erosion and weathering," Erza explained.

"Either way, it's a lot of fun!" Mirajane exclaimed.

"Juvia is satisfied as long as she can be with the president!" Juvia made a nympho expression as she clung to Su Yu.

"Are we there yet? Whiskey Peak, I hope I can see those two people I'm looking for."

Su Yu smiled at the sight of the cactus-shaped island in the distance, knowing it to be Whiskey Peak, a notorious trap set by bounty hunters for inexperienced pirates.

Even though it's presented as a welcome party, the bounty hunters aim to get pirates drunk and take them down without a fight.

Despite this danger, Su Yu chose this route to complete a mission that could upgrade the guild. As they arrived at the island, the bounty hunters watched from afar in their hideout.

"There are pirates coming again!"

"There's someone coming, but it's not a pirate ship. It doesn't have a skull flag. Wait a minute, I recognize that symbol. It's Fairy Tail!"

"What's Fairy Tail?"

"Don't you watch the news? They're a famous pirate crew from East Blue. Their captain, Su Yu, has a bounty of 80 million from the Marines."

"Wow, 80 million?! That's amazing! If we capture him, we'll be able to upgrade to a digital agent!"

"Hey, don't act impulsively. We need to follow Mr8's plan."

The bounty hunters spoke in hushed tones, discussing their strategy for capturing the members of Fairy Tail.

........

Fairy Tail.

"There seem to be quite a few people on the shore!"

Erza looked solemn, grasped the hilt of her sword, and entered the posture of preparing for battle.

"Fine!" Su Yu waved his hand, and the people hiding on the bank appeared all at once, gathering on both sides of the river.

"Ooooooooh" The crowd greeted Fairy Tail with enthusiastic cheers, welcoming them to the hospitable town of Whiskey Peak and the Grand Line.

...the people on the shore seemed friendly and welcoming, which confused Erza. She didn't know what to make of the situation.

"Maybe these folks in town know us as Fairy Tail and have faith in us," Nami guessed.

"Looks like it could be something," Mirajan agreed with a nod.

"President, what exactly is this?"

"Let's proceed cautiously. Let's accept their welcome first, and then move forward step by step," Su Yu advised with a gentle smile.

As the ships arrived at the harbor, the group disembarked and made their way towards their destination. Suddenly, a man with flamboyant, curly hair styled in an exaggerated aristocratic fashion stepped forward to greet them.

The man let out a theatrical "Well~ well~ well" and cleared his throat.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Icarem, the mayor of Whiskey Peak - a town renowned for its brewing, music, and hospitality. It gives us immense pleasure to welcome guests," he announced.

Ikalem, the digital agent from Locke Work Agency and the captain of the Alabasta guard, reciprocated the warm greeting.

In appreciation of the kind hospitality, Su Yu accepted the invitation with a smile. The evening unfolded with a lively feast of wine and entertainment at the local tavern.

Throughout the night, Icarem continued to clear his throat and exclaim, "Well~ well~ well," habitually.

"Even though we have many gorgeous hostesses here, I don't think President Su Yu needs any of them!" exclaimed Icarem.

Erza, Mirajan, Juvia, and Nami - all stunning beauties in their own right - were present at Whiskey Peak. However, there was one girl who could match their elegance.

"The seat next to the president belongs to Juvia!" Juvia announced, and Juvia swiftly made her way to Su Yu's side, like a returning swallow to her nest.

But, to her surprise, Su Yu didn't catch her this time.

"President Su Yu, if possible, I would like to buy a few drinks for the girl with the blue hair over there," Su Yu said while pointing to the girl in the crowd.

Icarem responded with a hint of sarcasm, 'So, are you tired of the women around you and want a change? And now you've fallen for Princess Vivi at first sight, she's worth every penny of that 80 million bounty!'

Icarem, as the captain of the Kingdom Guard, couldn't just stand by and watch the princess be treated disrespectfully by others. As he was contemplating how to intervene, Su Yu spoke up, "Okay, President Su Yu!"

The girl with beautiful blue hair, who could rival Nami and others, was none other than Princess Vivi of Alabasta. She smiled sweetly and accepted Su Yu's invitation, much to the envy of Juvia who was watching from afar.

A year ago, Vivi had gone undercover to investigate the drought that had plagued her country for years, and it had taken her a year of hard work to get to her current position. If she could obtain the 80 million bounty, her status within the organization would surely rise and she would be closer to uncovering the truth and saving Alabasta from ruin. All her efforts were for the sake of her beloved country.

"Don't be so stiff, miss!" Su Yu said as he casually draped an arm around Vivi's shoulders and handed her the belt.

Vivi offered Su Yu a glass of wine with a smile, to which he shook his head and replied, "That's not enough for me to drink."

Curious, Vivi asked, "Then how would you like to drink it?"

Su Yu responded with a mischievous grin and said, "If a beautiful woman were to give me a kiss, I could even drink a barrel of wine!"

Upon hearing this, Vivi froze up once again.

After a moment of hesitation, Vivi made up her mind and thought to herself, "Anyway, this guy isn't too bad. For 80 million, I'll go along with it!"

With closed eyes, Vivi quickly pecked Su Yu's cheek, leaving a faint lip print behind. This was already the limit of what she could do, and Su Yu was well aware of it. He made no further advances.

"Hahaha, Xiao Er, bring out the wine!" Su Yu exclaimed.
