43 Ch 43 : Vivi's situation

I am a rich second generation in One Piece Ch 43

" But then.. your face is really red. Are you having a heatstroke?"

Without Nami noticing, Seth had crossed the distance and arrived right in front of her. His hand was placed on her forehead, and his face was so close to her that she could even feel his breath.

Nami's face got more red from embarrassment, but she tried to hide it.

" No.. I'm okay.. "

Maybe because of embarrassment, she stumbled a bit in the last part and it made her even more unconvincing.

And as Seth tried his best to hide the smile on his face, now he placed his face even closer to Nami, putting their forehead together so that Nami could feel Seth's lips only a few centimeters away from hers.

" You sure you okay? Please don't lie to me, Nami. I just want to make sure that…"

" I… I…"

But before Cade could even finish his words, it seemed that Nami had already reached her limit here.

Smoke began coming out of her head, and immediately she fell as she collapsed to the ground.

" *Chuckles* Well, this Nami is still two years younger than the pre-time skip Nami. It seems that the current her still wasn't able to take this much stimulation."

Looking at Nami, who fainted because of these interactions, Seth obviously let out a chuckle. Who would ever think that this little Nami would be the same Nami which happily wears a skimpy bikini outside a few years later?

" Haha.. it seems that my choice of upgrading the charm first was a correct choice."

[ DING!!! Nami's impression +20]

Whisky Peak -

Inside a small house in the whisky peak, a beautiful girl with blue hair was currently reading the letter in her hand with a frown on her face.

Nefertari Vivi, the next successor of Alabasta's Nefertari royal family and also Seth's ex-fiancee. For the past few months, she had been trying her best to find information about Alabasta's rebellion and the one behind it.

But exactly two months ago, she received a piece of shocking news.

Crocodile, a Sichibukai had been dethroned from his Sichibukai position because he had some connection with the rebellion in Alabasta, and had been replaced by another Sichibukai called Tiamat.

Normally this would be a happy occasion for her, and she would immediately leave for Alabasta.

However, she could not help but feel there was something wrong.

Her latest investigation told her that Baroque work, the organization that she was currently in had some sort of role in the rebellion. And if Crocodile was actually the mastermind behind all of this, the baroque work should cease to exist.

But until now, the organization kept operating normally or in fact, was going into an expansion.

Vivi's instinct told her that there might be a hidden link between these, and she decided to stay here to observe further.

Of course, there were a lot of messages from the royal family telling her to go back. Nonetheless, Vivi was just too hard-headed, and there's no way she would be back before "solving" all the matters on her own.

" Father.. Alabasta.. please wait for me. And Tiamat.. I think I need to start looking more for this name."

Almost at the same time at Alabasta, Robin was taking a report from Mikita.

After Baroque work was taken over by Seth and Robin, Seth had designated Mikita as Robin's personal assistant, and she would only directly report to Robin.

" Miss, here is the report for the past week."

Mikita said as she handed a huge stack of documents to Robin.

" Thank you, Mikita. Please just put it on my table."

Robin responded to her, but her eyes never left the documents that she currently handled. After Seth took over the Baroque Work, she had volunteered to do almost all the work regarding the organization for him, and that's what made her very busy.

However, even after putting the document on her desk, Mikita didn't immediately leave, and it seemed like she had something to say.

" Hmm?"

Robin noticed this weird behavior as she stopped her pen for a bit and looked toward Mikita.

" Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. But…"

" ??? "

" I just wondered whether it is really necessary to keep surveillance on the princess. We no longer have any intention to claim Alabasta or its thrones, so I don't really understand why we should continue to monitor her."

Mikita said what was on her mind.

Robin listened to this, and a smile appeared on her face, but Mikita noticed that this smile was different than the usual.

" Sorry.. I…"

" It's okay. I'm glad you ask Mikita."

Robin smiled, but her eyes certainly were not smiling.

She put down the pen in her hands as she leaned on her chair and took a deep breath.

" Mikita, have you heard the rumors outside?"

" ???? "

" Well… the rumor said that even after alll this time, Seth is still infatuated with the little princess of the Nefertari family…."

For some reason, the more words Robin said, the more Mikita feel a dark shadow was growing under Robin's eyes.

Yet, it's not like she could move. She could only blame herself for asking something weird and hope that this matter would quickly be finished.

But then, something miraculous happens.

Robin saw Mikita was getting so tense, and chuckles were let out of her mouth.

" *Chuckles* Don't worry, I'm just kidding. Still… I think that it is better to make some countermeasure and let the boss stay away from the little princess for some time."

"....."
