In the slightly cramped dormitory, the walls were peeling due to old age. A single bed was placed at the foot of the wall, and beside the bed was a wooden table and chair. It looked shabby and simple, and it was hard to imagine that this was the residence of a royal princess.
This is not irreverent, but Smoker's character is like this. He did not deliberately look at the princess in distress and arranged her in the Marine dormitory equally.
Vivi may not think much about it. After all, she is not a delicate princess. The troubled Alabasta forced her to abandon her weakness and learn to be strong. Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk to sneak into the Baroque Studio and then fall into this miserable situation.
However, Vivi doesn't mention it. She doesn't care about this, but it doesn't mean that there is really no trace of hostility and discomfort in her heart. After all, a princess in distress is strong, but I am afraid that under the strong surface, there is a fragile sensitivity hidden.
Vivi is grateful that Smoker is willing to take down Crocodile for her, but Smoker's "irreverent" attitude does not put Vivi in the position of a Princess, which makes Vivi understand from the bottom of her heart that Smoker is not willing to get involved in the Royal Family's grievances and has no idea of taking back the throne for her.
Interfering in the change of the Royal Family of another country is completely different from retaliating against a Shichibukai. Smoker is not interested in the former. In other words, with his character and ability, it is difficult for him to interfere and manipulate the politics of a country.
Vivi didn't mention much. She had already given up on this idea. In her grief and despair, she only wanted to retaliate against Crocodile. She had no illusions about taking back the throne she deserved.
In the hearts of the Royal Family and the people of Alabasta, she is already a dead person.
However, at this moment, she stared at the documents on the table, and some thoughts in the depths of her heart seemed to be revived, burning quickly and vigorously, and began to linger in her mind.
"Take back everything that belongs to me?"
Vivi murmured to herself. She has never been a person who is greedy for power and wealth, but she can't tolerate her uncle Nefertari Saka sitting on that throne!
"Only when I sit on that throne can it be the embodiment of justice and justice. Only then can my father's soul in heaven truly rest in peace!" Vivian spread the document on the table and read it word by word, line by line. "Only by sitting there can I really vindicate His Majesty Cobra, and forever nail Crocodile's crime on the pillar of shame in Alabasta's history!"
Alabasta Tripartite Federal Agreement
There was a strange title on the document. Vivian looked at it in surprise. Every word on the document was touching her nerves, making her feel a little scared.
This was an agreement that required three parties to initiate and sign before it could take effect. There were many clauses on the agreement, but all of them were actually for the purpose of acknowledging the operation of one thing.
The general content is as follows:
First of all, the royal family of Alabasta recognizes and accepts the justice and legitimacy of the Revolutionary Army and the military assistance of the Drum Kingdom to Alabasta. Correspondingly, the Revolutionary Army and the Drum Kingdom both recognize that Nefertari Vivi is the only designated legal heir of the royal family of Alabasta!
Based on the above, the three parties will form a whole. Note that the word whole is used here, not division. The Revolutionary Army has no intention of dividing Alabasta, and the Drum Kingdom has no intention of invading and occupying Alabasta. Instead, they will form a political and military alliance, forming a country similar to the "Federation" system.
In other words, Alabasta and the Drum Kingdom will unite to form a new country, and the rule of this country will be jointly led and ruled by the Drum Kingdom's King Wapol, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Lippa, and the heir of the Nefertari royal family, Queen Vivi.
Of course, the document marked in detail the right of speech of the three leaders. Overall, it was relatively equal, but nominally, in order to take care of the image of Alabasta and maintain the dignity of the Nefertari royal family.
The titles are Queen Vivi, Prime Minister Wapol, and Lippa.
Once the document is signed, the war in Alabasta will be peacefully eliminated, and the territory of Alabasta will not be invaded by the Drum Kingdom, but it will be equivalent to the expansion of the territory. Of course, these terms are the same with the Drum Kingdom as the main body.
At the same time, the three parties will issue a joint statement identifying and accusing all the conspiracies and crimes of Crocodile, and will apply to the Marine Headquarters for military assistance to arrest and try the Shichibukai.
For this reason, they are willing to lease a part of the coastal territory to the Marine Headquarters, allow the legal garrison of the Marine Headquarters, and give up the country's sea rule. In contrast, the Marine is obligated to ensure that Alabasta will never be attacked by pirates again.
At the same time, the newly formed Alabasta Drum Federation hopes to re-establish the order of the country with the help of the Marine Headquarters.
The country recognizes the surrender of the sea rule, which will be the first case in the whole world of Alabasta, and the lease of territory, and the final understatement of the hope to re-establish the national order with the help of the Marine, people with political sensitivity actually understand that this is a vague promise that the Marine Headquarters can interfere with the sovereignty of the country's operation.
It is equivalent to attaching the country to the Marine Headquarters, and the purpose is in exchange for the protection of a strong force.
If it were a unified and stable Alabasta, Vivi would naturally not be willing, but in today's turbulent situation, the most important thing is that she seems to have no other choice.
"As long as I sign this agreement, I may really be able to …" Vivi's breathing was a little short. The most important thing is that she found that what Colonel Yarlin said was not an empty sentence. This agreement does have enough weight, and there is a high probability that it will help her get back everything that His Majesty Cobra left for her.
"As long as I sign this agreement, I will no longer be a dead royal princess, and I will have a chance to become Her Majesty Queen Nefertari Vivi again!" Vivi turned to the last page of the document, and her pupils shrank, and fine goosebumps appeared all over her body. "Unexpectedly … I only need to sign the last page?"
On the last page of the signature column, Wapol and Lippa's names and handprints were impressively printed on it. This means that unlike what Vivi originally expected, she was not the first to sign, but … she was the last to sign!
"To get these two to sign, Colonel Yarlin must have put in a lot of effort, but Colonel Yarlin didn't even say a word of hard work to me, really …" Vivi's eyes were filled with a touch of determination. "It would have been easier to find Saka, and Saka would have signed this agreement without hesitation, but Colonel Yarlin still chose me!"
Although she understood that Colonel Yarlin's decision must be mixed with selfishness, and perhaps it was the last clause about the Marine, but who in this world is not selfishness? The most important thing is that behind selfishness, Colonel Yarlin did not choose to cooperate with Saka, but chose her, for Vivi, this is kindness.
