"Princess Vivi?"
A little surprised, Red opened the door and looked at the blue-haired girl in front of him with curious eyes.
Vivi, who had taken the initiative to visit, smiled warmly and said to Red:
"Mr. Red, please stop calling me 'Princess Vivi' every time you see me. Just call me Vivi like everyone else on the ship!"
"Then just call me Red~ like everyone else on the ship."
Red responded to Vivi with the same words.
The next second, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Red asked proactively:
"So... you came to me suddenly because you've made up your mind?"
"Yes!" Vivi nodded vigorously and apologized:
"I'm sorry, I had doubts about what you said, Red."
"But after these few days of getting to know everyone, I've completely seen how amazing you are!"
"Please help train me to become a warrior who can defend my country!"
"To this end, I will convince my father to find suitable land in Alabasta to build the Pokémon Kingdom you mentioned!"
Indeed!
What Vivi referred to was actually the third plan that Red had proposed to her that day...
He would train Vivi to become strong enough to withstand any danger, using her own strength to personally defend her country!
Not only Vivi herself, Red also promised that he could give other people special abilities.
Although the number couldn't be too large, it would be enough to give them the power to protect the Kingdom of Alabasta.
At that time, Vivi did not immediately agree to Red's proposal.
One reason was that she had some doubts about the truthfulness of Red's words.
She knew very well that her talent for combat wasn't strong.
Under such circumstances, she didn't understand how Red could make her strong enough to protect her family and country.
However, this doubt had been dispelled during the past few days with the Straw Hat Pirates.
Although Vivi wasn't a strong fighter, she had sharp, observant eyes.
She saw clearly...
In her eyes, the Straw Hat Pirates were becoming stronger with each passing day!
She had even noticed a look of hesitation in the Marine Captain's eyes many times.
It was as if...
He was considering whether he should swallow his pride and ask Red to make him stronger.
On the other hand, the reason for Vivi's hesitation was that she was just a princess, not a king.
What's more, for a country, land was a very sacred thing and couldn't be easily traded away.
Even though Red had said he didn't really want any territory to rule over, he just needed an area where he wouldn't be easily disturbed to conduct some experiments.
This was the main reason why Vivi hadn't agreed to Red's proposal.
Because of the Straw Hats' overwhelming strength, they had not only eliminated the unfortunate duo of intelligence specialists from Baroque Works.
They had even directly captured Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, preventing the incident at Whiskey Peak from ever being reported back to headquarters.
The captain of the Alabasta Royal Guards, Igaram, had successfully contacted the kingdom and sent the Straw Hat crew's Den Den Mushi number back to King Cobra in the royal capital.
And just now, Vivi had also received a message from her father.
During the call, she informed Cobra of Red's request and the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Who would have thought that after hearing these details, Cobra directly handed over the power of decision to Vivi without any hesitation.
And he said to her: "I believe in your judgment."
...
...
"I see."
After listening to Vivi's explanation, Red suddenly showed a look of understanding.
Immediately he smiled slightly:
"So, you're ready then, right?"
"Ah."
For some reason, Vivi suddenly became nervous when she heard Red's question.
The next second, she saw Red stepping aside from the doorway, gesturing for her to enter his small cabin.
Then Vivi watched as Red lay directly on the bed without saying anything.
Such a scene immediately stunned her.
What's going on!?
Didn't he say he wasn't interested in my body?
Shock flashed through Vivi's mind.
Then she saw Red pointing to a recliner next to him:
"I originally planned to save some energy."
"But since you've agreed, without further ado, let me show you the power of the Pokémon world..."
"At the same time, it can serve as reassurance for you."
"Don't waste time, lie down quickly!"
"Oh...oh!" Vivi responded nervously.
Realizing that things weren't developing as she had thought, her cheeks immediately turned red, and she quickly lay down on the recliner.
Before she could react, the world in front of her was suddenly covered in white light.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a magical wilderness filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
"This...is this the Pokémon world that Luffy and the others have been talking about?!"
"It seems that I don't need to introduce you to too much."
At this moment, Red's voice suddenly came from behind Vivi.
Vivi immediately turned around and saw Red looking at her with a calm smile.
But she soon noticed that his eyes didn't seem to be focused on her.
Vivi opened her mouth, about to say something.
But Red suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Don't worry, I'm thinking."
"Oh," Vivi responded quietly.
Meanwhile, Red was not paying attention to Vivi.
Because at that moment, he was carefully reviewing Vivi's attribute list!
[Pokémon: Nefertari D. Vivi]
[Level: 16]
[Gender: Female]
[Nature: Brave (+Physical Attack -Speed)]
[Types: Psychic, Ground]
[Ability: Eternally Pure Body (Has smooth skin, and will not have reduced strength due to the opponent's ability.)]
[Moves: None]
[Experience: 0/1020]
...
[HP: 50]
[Physical Attack: 49]
[Physical Defense: 60]
[Special Attack: 46]
[Special Defense: 61]
[Speed: 26]
...
"I really didn't expect that the Psychic partner I was thinking about would appear so soon!"
Looking at Vivi's attribute panel, Red couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
Although he knew that Vivi did have impressive hypnotic abilities with her Peacock Slashers, it wasn't that strange even if the system classified her as a Psychic type.
But what Red didn't expect was...
For Vivi who grew up in the desert, the Psychic type in her body actually surpassed Ground and became her primary type.
This small detail explained a lot.
In addition, Vivi's name was directly identified by the system as [Clan D]...
"Tsk, tsk~ It seems that I've become involved in some terrible conspiracy vortex for no reason!"
"But..."
"Fortunately, I was already standing in the middle of the whirlpool!"
After closing the attribute interface, Red's consciousness opened the move learner list again.
Since it was rare to meet a Psychic-type partner, of course he had to equip her well!
The first was the partner move - Glitzy Glow. This was definitely something that Vivi must have.
This move could not only damage enemies but also create a wall of light that blocked opponents' special attacks!
It was definitely the most cost-effective move in the current version!
Although he would have to return to Celadon City to study it, that wasn't a difficult task for Red, who had the ability to fly across the sky.
As for the other three vacant move slots, Red matched them respectively:
Another defensive move, Reflect, that could defend against physical damage; Psychic that could be used directly as telekinesis; And the indispensable magical move of all Psychic-type Pokémon - Teleport!
In an instant, there was a Psychic queen who was both offensive and defensive, and could even release "Conqueror's Haki"...
