"Boss, give me a biography of the Thunder Swordsman!"
Fishman Island, Ryugu Castle.
Shirahoshi, whose body had shrunk to the proportions of a "normal human", took out a five-thousand-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the bookstore owner.
"Ah, it's Princess Shirahoshi?!"
The boss smiled happily.
Ever since the New Fish-Man Pirates were wiped out by Luffy, Shirahoshi has gradually begun to appear in the public eye.
Especially after his body became smaller, his personality became much more cheerful than before.
"Yeah!" Bai Xing nodded, changing his usual timid personality when talking to people, and smiled back at the other person, "I heard that this issue of the magazine has been updated. Boss, can you reserve one for me?"
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately pulled out a brand new, unopened magazine from the drawer under the counter and handed it to Bai Xing: "I prepared it for you when we first received the stock yesterday."
You know, this is Princess Shirahoshi. Almost all the civilians in the entire underwater palace city love her. As for why... it's of course because Princess Shirahoshi is beautiful.
Not only is she beautiful, she also has a good personality and doesn't act like a princess at all. Whenever they meet on the street, she would even show concern for these common people.
If a country has a princess like this, who wouldn’t love her
"Thanks."
Looking at the magazine that the boss placed on the table, Bai Xing's eyes lit up, and her big eyes, which were already charming enough, flashed an eye-catching light.
But who would have thought that just as he put down the money, the boss pushed it back and said, "No need for money. I am already very honored to be able to help Princess Shirahoshi."
"How can that be possible? Father said that we must never take advantage of others in the slightest."
Bai Xing waved his hands hurriedly, then stuffed the money into the boss's hand, then hugged the magazine in his arms and ran away quickly.
The boss was left behind, recalling the series of actions that Bai Xing had taken when standing in front of the store door just now. He subconsciously held his face with both hands, and shouted words like "It's so cute" in his heart.
And at the same time.
"boss.."
At the side, the clerk who was cleaning in front of the bookshelf came over at this moment, glanced at the back of Shirahoshi who had disappeared at the end of the street, and couldn't help but said: "Boss, I remember the price of each copy of the Thunder Swordsman Biography was 25,000 Baileys, and it seems that the price has increased to 30,000 Baileys recently. You sell it to Princess Shirahoshi for 5,000 Baileys..."
"I am happy to do so."
As the boss spoke, he folded the five thousand Baileys in his hand and put them neatly into his chest pocket. He then continued, "If Princess Shirahoshi comes again in the future, I will sell her for five thousand. You are not allowed to raise the price. Do you understand?"
"knew."
...
"The new biography of the Thunder Swordsman..."
Bai Xing excitedly waved his tail, unintentionally ignoring the gazes from all around him, and quickly ran back home.
He closed the door and opened the magazine. When he saw the cover with Vivian holding the Blood Demon Blade in his right hand and commanding a group of naval soldiers behind him to charge forward with his left hand, somehow, Shirahoshi's face turned slightly red for the first time, and he felt a little strange in his heart again.
However, the photo at the beginning also aroused Bai Xing's curiosity.
"Are they going to catch pirates again?"
Vivian is really on the battlefield all the time.
Thinking in her mind, she reached out and turned the magazine to the next page, and a paragraph of text immediately came into her eyes.
[The Thunder Swordsman, now Admiral of the Navy, Vivian, just experienced the battle of Onigashima. Despite his physical injuries, he still resolutely chose to lead his troops to the battle, wanting to save the civilians from the water and fire...]
The text describes in detail the difficulties that civilians are currently facing in the New World, and how Vivian took the initiative to ask the navy's top brass for orders and led his troops to the New World even though his injuries had not yet healed.
Below the text was a picture of Vivian standing on the deck of a warship, waving solemnly to the new recruits who came to the port to see him off. For some reason, a feeling of boiling blood instantly swept through Shirahoshi's heart.
The following content shows Vivian entering the territory of Big Mom, the former Four Emperors of the Pirates, being loved by the local people, and fearlessly confronting various famous pirate groups head-on without flinching. All of these scenes are vividly portrayed in these sixty or seventy pages of the magazine.
Rather than a magazine, it was more like a graphic novel, and the ups and downs of the plot gripped Shirahoshi's heart.
However, she also gradually understood Vivian's character and personality through this story.
"As expected, just as the rumors said, he is a man very similar to Mr. Luffy..."
No, or rather, Vivian is even more pure and has a stronger sense of justice than Luffy.
Luffy is working hard for his dream, but Vivian is different. Vivian simply wants to save civilians, ordinary people who have basically nothing to do with him, and thus chooses to embark on an extremely dangerous path.
Even, be ready to sacrifice your life at any time.
How great must a man be to be able to do this
Bai Xing couldn't help but think so.
The more time went by, the more Bai Xing became interested in Vivian. She even wanted to get to know her better than ever before.
You know, she had never had such thoughts about any man before. Even though it was Luffy who saved Fishman Island, she only regarded him as a benefactor and kept him in her heart, hoping to repay him if she had the chance in the future.
But now..
"Vivian..."
What a strange boy.
She was ten times, or even a hundred times, better than the men on Fishman Island who had proposed marriage to her father.
She couldn't help but recall the day when Vivian came to visit Fishman Island and Neptune said he wanted to marry her to Vivian. Her flawless white face suddenly turned red again.
My thoughts drifted far away.
When I came to my senses and turned the page again, I found that the content of the magazine had reached the last page.
[After capturing Pirate Queen Boa Hancock and Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates, the high-spirited Vivian was ready to escort all the captured pirates to Impel Down, but at this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly landed on the warship]
In the photo on the last page, Vivian, holding a blood demon and wearing a hood, stands in the cabin corridor with his face unclear. On the other side of the photo, standing opposite to him is the great pirate who has also been famous in the New World for a long time, Logt Larven!
