Chapter 78: Twelve Supernovas?

[You chose option 3, reward: Agility +1]

Domino was coaxed away by Vivian's sweet talk.

Before leaving, she lightly punched Vivian's chest twice with her small fists, her face as red as a ripe apple, and muttered, "There are so many people watching," before turning around and running off, disappearing from sight.

This made Vivian sigh.

He finally understood what would have happened if he had answered "no" back then.

He glanced at the fallen Catarina Devon.

This woman… she completely overturned his previous impression of her!

Compared to her, Tashigi was much better—gentle, sensible, and always considerate…

But Tashigi's popularity brought a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Then he thought, if it were Boa Hancock, spending a few days with her would probably generate ten times more options than with Tashigi, right?

After all, there were many "followers" of the Pirate Empress worldwide. If they knew she liked Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates would definitely gain more enemies…

"It's time to paint."

After sending Domino away, Vivian wiped the sweat from his forehead and went back to work on the villa.

In his imagination, the villa should have at least four or five rooms per floor, three floors, plus a basement. But due to the limited materials in Impel Down, he could only build a small two-story house, each floor being 150 square meters.

After tinkering with the house for a while and finishing the painting, he was satisfied and went back to the duty room to sleep.

Two days later.

"Two of Bamboo."

"One of Characters."

"Peng!"

"Toll fee, toll fee!"

Amid the strong smell of paint, a group of guards gathered on the first floor of the villa in Level Six, playing mahjong and Monopoly.

There were no prisoners being brought to Impel Down today. After completing their training and patrol duties, they left two guards in the monitoring room and the rest came down to visit Vivian, starting their party early.

Playing mahjong, Monopoly, chatting, and then helping Vivian with some food preparation at mealtime, enjoying a hearty meal.

What a fulfilling day.

It seemed that since Vivian arrived at Impel Down, their lives had become more colorful.

Except for the cook on Level Four, who was a bit depressed.

Was his food really that bad? Why did it seem like fewer people were coming to his cafeteria lately…

While everyone was having fun playing games, Saldeath, who was reading the newspaper, suddenly exclaimed, "So many people are gathering at the Sabaody Archipelago… won't there be a fight?"

"Sabaody Archipelago?"

Vivian, who had just won another round of mahjong, walked over and snatched the newspaper from Saldeath.

"Twelve Supernovas?"

"Smoker the White Hunter…"

"Swordswoman Tashigi…"

"Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos…"

Smoker and Tashigi had already chased them to the Sabaody Archipelago?

And…

Weren't there supposed to be eleven Supernovas? When did it become twelve?

He carefully checked the list of Supernovas.

"Three-Sword Style Swordsman Roronoa Zoro…"

"Straw Hat Luffy…"

Trafalgar Law…

…

Killer…

Eustass Kid…

Hmm…

Hmm?

Sharpshooter, Loget Larvin?

The guy who took the blame for attacking the Celestial Dragons, causing his bounty to skyrocket to 140 million Berries?

How did this guy end up on the Sabaody Archipelago too?

Scratching his head in confusion, he continued reading the character introduction written by some unknown journalist below:

"Once single-handedly attacked a Celestial Dragon's pirate ship at night, rescued hundreds of slaves, his marksmanship is extraordinary, and he has not been captured by the Marines to this day."

Vivian: "…"

Goodness, he really took the blame for me quite thoroughly.

"What's wrong, Vivian? Do you know these so-called… Supernovas?" asked Fujitora, who was drawing cards at the time.

"Yeah, I've seen one or two of them. But this guy named Smoker, he was my superior before. I'm just surprised they ended up on the Sabaody Archipelago."

As he was wondering, options suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Option 1: Go to the Sabaody Archipelago with Fujitora to help Smoker and Tashigi. (Reward: Conqueror's Haki and advanced wrapping techniques)]

[Option 2: Go to the Sabaody Archipelago alone to help Smoker and Tashigi. (Reward: Random skill experience max)]

[Option 3: Stay at the base. (Reward: Random skill experience +1)]

Vivian: "???"

Tashigi and Smoker are in trouble?

Thinking this, Vivian quickly took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, went to the second-floor bedroom, and dialed Smoker's number.

Brrr… Brrr… Brrr…

About five seconds later, the call was connected.

"Hello?"

"Kuto?"

"Vivian, why are you calling?" Kuto's tone sounded very happy. "We heard you were transferred to Impel Down? We're currently at the Sabaody Archipelago, which is very close to Impel Down. Once I catch Straw Hat, I'll escort him over, and we can have a good drink together."

"No, this isn't the time for that. Are you guys in any trouble?" Vivian asked.

"Trouble? What trouble? There's no trouble." The Den Den Mushi mimicked Kuto's confused expression, scratching its head.

"What about Smoker and Tashigi?"

"Captain Smoker… went to the shop to buy cigarettes. Tashigi said she wanted to check out the nearby auction house. Why?"

"Auction house? Which district's auction house?" Vivian asked with a frown.

"I don't know, I think she said District 1. Is there a problem?"

"Go find Tashigi and bring her back!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Don't ask. That's a human auction house. If Tashigi encounters the Celestial Dragons, with her temperament, I'm afraid she'll draw her sword and attack them."

Click!

With that, Vivian hung up the phone, grabbed his weapon, and rushed downstairs, shouting to Hannyabal and the others, "Is there a ship? I need to go to the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Everyone: "???"
