Year 1499 of the Haiyuan calendar, the great sea route.

"Miss Vivian, this is today's newspaper."

"Excuse me, just leave it here."

"No, it's okay, this is what I should do!"

Looking at the people walking out together, Vivian glanced at Long, who was smiling casually, and couldn't help but tease, "Are all your people so shy so easily?"

Long silently glanced at the woman in front of him. She had waist-length fluffy blond hair, a beautiful face, and a superior figure. She was also wearing a light golden dress. If I remember correctly, I spent a large sum of money to buy this. The famous brand "Goddess of Love" style long dress... But even he had to admit that this dress perfectly brought out all her beauty, and every move she made seemed to be full of ultimate charm like a "Goddess of Love" , but the most beautiful thing about her is not these, but her eyes... And the person who just came in to deliver the newspaper was just a newcomer who had only been on the ship for a few weeks, so it was normal to be surprised.

Seeing Long's expression of not intending to speak, Vivian sighed and reached for the newspaper that had just been delivered, "You are so boring, you have no sense of humor at all."

She and Long have been traveling around various countries this year. Whether they are franchised or non-franchised countries, they have been there and developed many partners. However, no matter how big a move they make, they have not made any big moves. The current strength does not allow us to do anything that will attract the attention of the world government, so the best way is to lie dormant, constantly looking for partners with the same aspirations while improving our strength, and then expand our power step by step until we can completely The day when the prey is killed.

Although it was said to be cooperation, Vivian stayed on Long's ship as a matter of course. After occupying the captain's cabin, she also asked Long to pay for the renovation of the captain's cabin. She was penniless when she got on the ship, so she paid for everything with dragon's baileys, but she didn't feel wrong at all. Because she always reached out to him for Bailey from time to time, and confidently stated that she was his partner, Long simply handed over all the savings he had to her for safekeeping, and also handed over all the Bailey he obtained afterwards. After marrying her, Vivian became a financial boss again.

However, she is still very measured. She never spends Bailey, which she classifies as "public funds". To buy clothes, these are all Yonglong's pitiful savings saved from many years of serving as a soldier in the navy.

In Vivian's words, he didn't want to spend it anyway, and it was useless to save it, so he might as well give it to her.

Fortunately, Long didn't care much about things like Bailey, so he let her squander it. He also knew that Vivian was a person who knew how to measure things, so he never asked Bailey about it from beginning to end.

During this year, Vivian did not contact anyone from the Roger Pirates, including Rayleigh. She just sent a letter that read "Thank you, I am going to sea, Mr. Rayleigh" and sent it to Shampoo. After visiting the islands, I never went back.

"Is there any important news today...Barrett was taken into custody in Impel Down?" Vivian sat upright on the sofa and looked at the news in the newspaper in disbelief.

"Barrett? Is he your former partner?" Hearing her exclamation, Long put down the information in his hand.

"Yes, and he is as strong as a monster, even as powerful as Mr. Reilly!"

"Equal in strength to 'Pluto' Rayleigh?" Long was a little surprised. Although he had followed his father and contacted the Roger Pirates before, but he didn't know enough about the Roger Pirates that he was always chasing after them. of Kapp.

Vivian nodded solemnly, "He joined the Roger Pirates after I was defeated by Captain Roger when I was about 13 years old. He... was a monster and often challenged Captain Roger when he was on the ship. , although he has never won once, except Captain Roger, no one can suppress him, even Mr. Reilly can only tie with him, at that time, he was only two years older than me!"

"15 years old——?!" Long was a little shocked. 15 years old is only a half-grown child, right?

"That's why I said, he is a monster. I... I was actually a little afraid of him at that time, so I didn't talk to him much. After escaping from the battle between Aito Waugh and the Golden Lion, he He once again challenged Captain Roger, but of course he was defeated, and then he left the Roger Pirates..."

During this year, Vivian actually heard news about Barrett more than once. He continued to create all kinds of big guns on the sea, and he would hit them no matter what their identity was, turning the whole sea upside down. The huge movements made Vivian worried more than once. Although she really didn't have much contact with him, she still received a gift from Barrett every year on her birthday, so she was worried that something might happen to Barrett. .

Now that this worry has come true, Vivian feels a little complicated inside, but she will not save him and cannot save him.

"Forget it..." Vivian put down the newspaper, feeling a little thirsty. She picked up an orange from the fruit plate on the table, peeled it open, pinched a piece and put it into her mouth, biting the orange piece. , her eyes were dull, she looked at Long opposite who was still reading the information seriously, and handed him the orange with a calm expression.

Long glanced at her and thought she didn't like to eat, so he habitually took it and threw it into his mouth. Then his teeth were so sore that he almost lost consciousness. Looking at the innocent look on her face, Long expressionlessly put it into her mouth. He swallowed the orange, then stood up and poured a large glass of water to drink, which at least washed away some of the sour taste in his mouth.

He sighed heavily, and when he returned to the table and was about to sit down, he saw the other party taking another orange and peeling it, so he stopped sitting down and just stood there, planning to take the hand from the other party again. The sour oranges that came over. After eating, go get a glass of water.

However, when he saw the other person's stretched out hand, Long couldn't help but feel a little upset. He reluctantly took the orange and put it in his mouth. He was ready to lose his teeth due to the soreness again, but he suddenly found this orange. It's not sour at all, it's even very sweet.

He looked at Vivian in surprise, and the other party showed a naughty smile, "This is an apology."

Ok.

Long didn't say anything and sat down again. Vivian handed him an orange and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Peel it for me." After saying that, she raised her other hand and shook it, with a sweet and sour juice. It dripped on the table along the white and slender fingertips, "It's sticky, I don't like it."

"..." Long hesitated, but finally resigned himself to getting up, wetted a piece of cloth, wiped the juice off her hands, then took the orange and peeled it.

Long is still very satisfied with the abilities of his partner, but his personality is a bit... similar to the one who must meet all her requirements. If not met, he will be disturbed and can't even sleep, but... Long's brain is very useful in strategic planning, but he has no experience or methods at all in dealing with such things. He can only keep retreating to meet the other party's requirements, and then little by little, he discovers that he seems to be completely mature. He acted like a butler to the other party.

It doesn't seem to be the case. He can't control the other person. He should be like a younger brother, right? !

"Peel another one."

"..." Long subconsciously picked up an orange, peeled it and handed it to her, and then continued to meditate.

Something feels wrong.

But he was not very good at rejecting Vivian, and he didn't want to experience the consequences of rejecting her request again. Moreover, the other party is still his partner, so it doesn't seem good to refuse the partner's request.

Anyway, it's just doing some simple things for the other party, and there is no loss to him. So Long indulged himself like this, completely unaware that his indulgence would make Vivian, who at first just wanted to touch his bottom line so that he could get more benefits for himself, be surprised to find that the other party's ability in this regard The bottom line was actually too low, so she bossed him around with confidence. When she was rejected and made a fuss, and then succeeded in getting what she wanted, Vivian understood something.

——She can boss this silly guy around as she pleases.

After that, Long's hard life really began, but the person involved didn't know it.
