Chapter 78: Vivi's Decision
"Lister, I know about you and Vivi!" Cobra said.
Here it comes!
The father-in-law's interrogation!
Lister couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Father-in-law, why don't you just get straight to the point? I'm listening!" Lister said with a faint smile.
"Alright then."
"Let me ask you, as a pirate, a pirate on the Navy's blacklist, do you think you can give Vivi happiness?"
"Of course I can!" Lister said directly, without hesitation.
"I don't believe you!" Cobra directly denied.
"I don't need you to believe me. As long as Vivi feels happy, that's enough!" Lister said with a faint smile.
"Vivi is the princess of a country. She has been pampered by me since she was a child. If she follows you, she will suffer endlessly from now on!" Cobra said.
"But she went undercover in Baroque Works for three years. For three years, she was afraid of her identity being discovered every day, and she had to mix with a bunch of scoundrels every day. In those three years, she has been in no small number of battles. As a princess, she has suffered a great deal in those three years," Lister said mockingly.
"" The corner of Cobra's mouth twitched.
Indeed, Lister had hit a nerve.
Princess Vivi, pampered and spoiled, ended up going undercover for three years and suffering for three years.
Did he have the face to use that to refute Lister?
"Putting that aside, Vivi is the only heir to Alabasta. She can't go to sea with you! However, if you are willing to stay, I won't stop you and Vivi from being together! I can even settle the matter of your bounty!" Cobra said.
"Sorry, I have no intention of staying," Lister said faintly.
"So, you're going to forcibly take Vivi away, or are you planning to leave her behind?" Cobra frowned.
"I respect Vivi's opinion. If she is willing to go with me, then I will take her with me. If she stays, I will not force her to go!" Lister said.
"Whether we are separated or not, she is my woman!"
In the end, Lister and Cobra parted on bad terms.
Mainly, Cobra was very unhappy.
Lister, however, left the restaurant without a care in the world.
Then, under the guidance of a maid, he entered the royal palace's bath and soaked for thirty minutes, before walking openly towards Vivi's room.
When Cobra received the report from his guards, his face immediately turned green.
He wanted to stop the two of them from having a relationship.
But, just as his foot was about to step out of the door, he stopped.
He looked up at the rain still falling outside the door and sighed, "Forget it. Vivi has grown up after all. If I interfere with her choice, I will only make things worse. Let Vivi handle it. I believe she also knows her mission. She will make the right choice!"
That night, in Vivi's room, after the two had made love, Vivi leaned against Lister's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and enjoying the beautiful moment.
At this moment, Lister belonged to her alone.
Vivi thought with sweet satisfaction.
After an unknown amount of time, Lister suddenly spoke, "Vivi!"
"Hmm?" Vivi looked up at Lister.
Her face was rosy and delicate, her eyes hazy and alluring.
Looking at the charming Vivi, a surge of impulse once again welled up in Lister's heart.
However, he suppressed it.
It wouldn't be too late to finish things first.
"Crocodile has been defeated, and the matter of Alabasta has been resolved. Alabasta will soon be back on track. After this, will you leave with me to adventure on the sea, or will you choose to stay in Alabasta?" Lister asked.
"Lister, I..." This was a question Vivi had been unwilling to face.
Because, whether it was leaving Lister or leaving Alabasta, she was very reluctant.
Lister had let her enjoy the happiness of being a woman.
But Alabasta was an inescapable responsibility.
For a moment, Vivi was in a dilemma.
After an unknown amount of time, Vivi came back to her senses.
At this moment, she seemed to have made a decision.
She asked tentatively:
"Lister, if I stay in Alabasta, will you abandon me?"
"No, no matter what choice you make, Vivi will be my woman for life. However, if you choose to stay in Alabasta, after I leave, you may not see me again for a long time!" Lister said.
"So, you will come back to see me, right?" Vivi asked.
"Of course!" Lister sighed in his heart.
Vivi had already made her point so clear.
How could he not understand Vivi's choice?
Although it was a bit of a pity, he did not force Vivi to follow him.
Just like Kaya.
If Vivi stayed, he would respect her opinion.
"Lister, I choose to stay!" Vivi finally gave her decision.
Then she explained, "Lister, you have Nami, Nojiko, Robin, and Akame, twelve people by your side. But my father only has me as his heir. My father and Alabasta need me more. So, Lister, please forgive me!"
"I just said, no matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice!" Lister caressed Vivi's cheek and said.
"Then, Lister, when are you planning to leave?" Vivi asked, secretly relieved but also a little reluctant.
"I won't leave right away. As for how many days I will stay, I haven't decided yet!" Lister said.
"Then you have to spend these few days with me properly. After all, after you leave, I don't know when I will see you again!" Vivi said coquettishly.
"Okay!" Lister nodded and smiled.
At this time, Vivi took the initiative to kiss him.
"Lister, turn on Overclock..."
Only a woman who has tried Overclock knows how happy the Overclock Mode is.
"Alright, tonight, I belong to you."
