Chapter 435 He actually agreed!
When Weiwei left Ye Yu's room, she was in a daze. She hadn't expected that Ye Yu would take action so easily.
As for the so-called 1 million Berries, Vivi thought it was extremely cheap, almost like it was free.
For an individual, 1 million Berries is a lot, but for a country as large as Alabasta, 1 million Berries is nothing.
After leaving Yoru's place, Vivi went to Icarus's room.
After waiting anxiously in the room for a long time, Icarum saw Vivi and hurriedly asked, "Princess Vivi, how is it? Is he willing to help?"
Vivi held Ye Yu and the contract she had drafted in her hand, then stared blankly at Icarum.
Seeing Vivi's expression, Icarus thought he had failed and sighed helplessly, "So he really didn't want to make a move? Well, that makes sense. How could such a powerful expert make a move so casually, especially against Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
Vivi shook her head and murmured, "No, he's willing to help."
Icarum was stunned for a moment, then looked at Vivi with surprise and delight. "He... he's willing to help?! Really, Your Highness?"
Vivi nodded blankly. Seeing Vivi's expression, Icarum's joy faded, and he frowned, saying, "Since he's willing to help, why does Your Highness look like this? Did he propose some conditions that Your Highness finds difficult to fulfill?"
Icarus looked at Vivi; he already had his answer in his heart.
For a moment, he didn't know how to persuade Weiwei.
After all, as the captain of the kingdom's guard, he certainly couldn't say anything about such a thing.
So Icarus remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Vivi said, "He only has one condition: after he defeats Crocodile, Alabasta needs to pay him 1 million Berries."
Icarum looked at Vivi and asked, "Anything else? What other conditions are there?"
He felt there couldn't be only these conditions, because he knew very well that these conditions were far too cheap. In fact, he believed that the 1 million Berries was just a side benefit, and the real purpose was Vivi.
But Vivi shook her head. "That's the only condition."
Icarum was stunned. "Really?"
Vivi looked at Icarus and nodded. "Yes, that's the only condition."
Icarus remained silent for a long time; he simply couldn't believe it.
Vivi smiled wryly and said, "You were surprised too, weren't you? I was surprised when I heard it."
Icarum frowned and looked at Vivi. "Your Highness, are you really sure that this is all the conditions he offered?"
Vivi nodded. "Really."
Ikaram remained silent for a long time, utterly shocked.
He was so overwhelmed that he didn't know what to say.
His opponent was Crocodile, and for such a dangerous task, he only accepted 1 million Berries as payment.
Ikaram even wondered if he was dreaming.
After a long while, Vivi looked at Icarus and said, "He actually ridiculously made me draft a contract with him, worried that I wouldn't abide by it."
As she spoke, Weiwei took out the contract in her hand, in duplicate, one copy for Weiwei and one copy for Yeyu.
It looks quite convincing.
But in Weiwei's eyes, this kind of thing was incredibly childish.
Icarum took the contract from Vivi, looked at it, and after reading it, his lips twitched slightly. "It is indeed quite, quite strange that he is this kind of person."
Does he really not know how strong he is?
Thinking of Ye Yu's ability to instantly kill more than a hundred bounty hunters, and the scene where he annihilated Mr. 5 with just a glance, Ikaram shook his head. "I really don't know if he did it on purpose or if he was serious."
Weiwei walked to the window, looked at the moonlight, and sighed, "He must have been serious, because when he rejected me the first time, I told him that as long as he was willing to make a move, I was willing to give myself to him as a gift."
Icarum sighed upon hearing this.
"It is because your subject is useless that Your Highness has suffered such humiliation."
Vivi didn't respond to Icarus's words, and continued, "But he refused outright. At first, I thought he was just saying that, but after I emphasized it a few times, he still refused. Even when Miss Valentine offered herself to him, he didn't want her. There was absolutely no evil in his eyes when he looked at me. All the evidence shows that he really has no interest in me."
After saying that, Weiwei shook her head; she didn't know whether she should be happy or not.
Ikaram smiled wryly, "I don't know what he's thinking. You are a princess, the sole heir to Alabasta, and he's not even a little bit tempted."
Vivi is indeed the sole heir to Alabasta. Marrying her would essentially mean that future kings of Alabasta would have her bloodline.
It's even possible that the entire country could fall into Ye Yu's hands, and he could become the next king of Alabasta.
But Ye Yu actually refused, and it's really hard to understand what he was thinking.
After gazing at the moonlight outside the window for a long time, Weiwei said, "Forget it, since he's willing to help, that's enough. Even if he raises the price or asks for more things in the future, just give it to him."
"But I don't think he'll ask for anything more. He seems to think 1 million Berries is already a lot. He even signed a contract with me in a serious manner, worried that I might go back on my word. He's a really unpredictable guy."
Looking at Vivi's expression, Icarum smiled and said, "Could it be that Your Highness has some feelings for Ye Yu?"
Weiwei blushed, but did not refute.
Icarum understood, but he said, "Although Mr. Yoru is a pirate, judging from the Navy's wanted poster for him, he hasn't done anything really bad. He just eliminated some of the Navy's pests. He's not really a pirate; he's just a chivalrous person who stands up for justice. But the Navy can't tolerate someone like that."
"Our Alabasta Kingdom has been ruined by the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and not only do they not care, they are also secretly supporting Crocodile. The Navy is becoming more and more corrupt."
Ikaram was disappointed when he talked about the navy.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are pirates on the side of the World Government; it's unexpected that they would allow them to overthrow a country.
Because of Crocodile's instigation, the entire Kingdom of Alabasta has been plunged into a civil war that has lasted for days.
Even if they uncovered the truth, Crocodile's immense strength made them no match for him, and the Navy wouldn't interfere with Crocodile's identity, leaving them completely helpless against him.
Vivi waved her hand and said, "No need to mention the Navy. Icarum, prepare the ship to Alabasta. Take good care of Mr. Yoru these days."
