38 Chapter 38: Second Discipline–

[Tl/n: +1 chapter. You can leave one of your Stones in this fanfic for more chapter.]

Grand Line, Cactus island.

From a distance, the island looks like it was formed of giant cacti, hence the name cactus island.

This is a town made up of pirate hunters, and usually, pirate hunters will pretend to welcome pirates and catch them off guard.

The town is located directly in front of the cactus island, and at the back of the island, there is a field of graves that even the island's pirate hunters rarely visit.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

At this moment, a young girl wearing tight hot pants, a green coat, and beautiful blue hair tied into a single ponytail came here.

"Huh? When did there be an extra house here? "

"When I came before, it obviously was not here."

"What do you say, Karoo?"

As she spoke, the girl patted a tall yellow duck beside her.

"Karoo!" Karoo, who understood the girl's words, raised its hand and screamed twice.

"You don't think so, either, right?" The girl smiled and patted Karoo on the back.

"However, how come I always feel that this house is somewhat familiar?" The girl frowned slightly, and after looking at the house in front of her for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage to go to the door and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?"

The girl shouted.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." inside the door, a young man's voice came.

"It's a familiar voice…" the girl narrowed her eyes, "I always feel like I've heard this voice, but I can't remember where I heard it."

"karoo, karoo!" Suddenly, the duck Karoo beside the girl quickly flapped its wings, as if it was very excited.

"Huh?! Karoo, what are you trying to say?" Seeing her pet duck look like this, the girl looked a little confused.

"You mean... Do you know who the owner of the voice is?"

"karoo!" Karoo nodded heavily, and then, ignoring the girl's opinion, directly kicked open the door and ran inside.

"Hey, Karoo, how can you just kick someone's door like th– eh!? you, you are!!" Seeing Karoo kick open the door, the girl was just about to criticize it, but her eyes widened because of the man in the room.

"Well, I didn't expect that the first time someone visited my dojo here was a duck." the corners of Rifan's mouth cocked, and he looked at Karoo the running duck with interest, "So, are you my second disciple?" "

As he spoke, Rifan walked over to Karoo's side and touched its soft feathers.

"You, you, you–you are Rifan!? The man who defeated the world's strongest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Shichibukai, and killed one of the Four Emperors Kaido in one move?!" The blue-haired girl raised her finger to Rifan, and her mouth was incoherent.

"It's really me." Rifan smiled and looked at Vivi, "Then what should I call you, beautiful lady?"

"Should I call you Miss Wednesday of the Baroque Works or Princess Vivi of Alabasta?"

Hearing Rifan's words, Vivi became more and more surprised.

"You know me?!"

"You can say that." Rifan smiled, "So, what are you going to do when you come to me, Vivi?"

Vivi took two steps forward and looked at Rifan with burning eyes.

"I'm not dreaming right… btw, why is Rifan here?"

"Could it be that Rifan's Dojo Hall is on the cactus island?"

"But it's impossible, I came to this place two days ago, and there is no such Dojo Hall?"

"Don't tell me I am dreaming now?"

With doubt, Vivi raised her hand and squeezed Karoo's body.

"Kaaa!" under the sting, Karoo almost flew to the ceiling of the Dojo.

"It's not a dream! It's true!" seeing Karoo's performance, Vivi looked at Rifan in surprise.

"This yellow duck is really having a hard time as your pet, under normal circumstances, to determine if you are dreaming, shouldn't you pinch yourself?" Rifan said.

"Hehe~." Vivi smiled sheepishly and turned to look at Karoo and saw that it was looking at herself with tears in her eyes. "Sorry, Karoo, forgive me, it won't happen  in the future."

Karoo: "karoo!"

"It doesn't seem to believe you, Princess Vivi." Rifan said.

"How could it be, Karoo and I have the best relationship." Vivi raised her hand to touch Karoo, but it only took a second for Karoo to step back a few meters.

Such a speed made Rifan can't help but have the idea of "worthy of being a fast running duck".

Vivi, whose right hand was in mid-air, smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Back to the point, tell me what you want to do when you come to me, Vivi."

Rifan turned around, walked to a table full of plates, and got a cup of tea for himself.

"If you just stumble here and plan to come and see it, then you can leave."

At the end of the conversation, Rifan raised his head and glanced outside the door.

With just one glance, Rifan understood where this new Dojo hall had been systematically placed.

The Grand Line, Cactus island.

After all, with such an iconic figure as Vivi, coupled with the tomb of the cactus in the distance, there is only one place, Cactus island.
