I Will Become Hokage in One Piece

Chapter 50: Longing for a Peaceful Life

Nefertari Vivi, the princess of Alabasta, is a sincere and humble princess who, like her father, King Cobra, loves peace and is beloved by her people.

She is a capable princess. Not long ago, she, along with the chief guard of the palace, Igaram, infiltrated the Baroque Work Agency to investigate the dance powder and find the true culprit behind its use. 

In just a few months, their remarkable skills and strength allowed them to rise through the ranks and become middle-level agents within the organization.

Currently, she and Koza are helping Rodney bandage his wounds. A half-human-tall slug lies on Rodney's body, using chakra to aid in his recovery.

"That... Mr. Rodney, what happened to the people from the Baroque Work Agency?"

"All of them are dead, well, there might be one or two survivors, but with the senior and middle-level agents gone, the Baroque Work Agency is effectively disbanded."

[Task: Disband the Baroque Work Agency]

Task Level: B

Reward: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, Water Release: Water Formation Wall, Mystical Palm Technique, Permanent Chakra Fruit, 5000 Mission Points. 

[Status: Completed!]

The middle-level agents and senior agents were killed by him, effectively disbanding the Baroque Work Agency, as the system confirms the task's completion.

Numerous tasks were recorded, and the permanent Chakra fruit was taken out and consumed in front of them, fully replenishing his Chakra. At the same time, the upper limit of his Chakra was increased by 30%.

"Lord Rodney, your Chakra suddenly recovered?" Sister Slug asked.

"Yes, I just used a secret medicine similar to Military Rations Pill, which is harmless to the body," Rodney replied with a smile.

He looked at Princess Vivi and asked, "Princess Vivi, why did you choose to come to me?"

"I want to express my gratitude. Please visit Alubarna, the capital of our kingdom." 

Rodney dismantled the Baroque Work Agency, and while their investigation was disrupted, the Baroque Work Agency was definitely a threat to the country. Therefore, Rodney deserved to be treated this way.

"It's nothing. If I have a chance, I'll visit the capital. But not now," Rodney declined with a smile. 

"Regarding the investigation of the Dance Powder, you need not continue now. I will find out who is behind this. It won't be difficult."

"The mastermind? Really?!"

"Of course. King Cobra is a competent ruler. If not for Alabasta's water scarcity, this country would be unimaginably prosperous. A better water source could make this country flourish, but the lack of water is limiting its economic development."

"Thank you for your kind words. I have always had confidence in my father. This is our country, and we will lead our people to prosperity."

"Well, Vivi, I believe that you and your father, the king, can achieve it."

"Thank you, leader. Why don't you assist me in the future?" Princess Vivi and Koza are childhood sweethearts, and both care deeply about the people and have high expectations for the country's well-being.

Princess Vivi asked, "Mr. Rodney, may I know who the mastermind is?"

"A man you can't afford to mess with, ambitious and unscrupulous. I will take care of him. He is my target," Rodney replied. "You can prepare some things for me, as a princess should be able to do?"

"Please tell me. I will immediately inform my father to send the required items."

"Alright."

...

Three days later, Rodney recovered from his injuries and set off for the rainy land with the things prepared by Princess Vivi.

...

In the largest casino in the rainy land, in a dazzling room, Baroque Works' vice president, codenamed Miss All Sunday, whose real name is Nico Robin, reported, "Three days ago, we dispatched all agents to surround and kill Rodney!"

In the darkness, Shichibukai Crocodile sat, an ambitious man who sought the ancient weapon Pluton to become the Pirate King. Surrounded by cigar smoke, his scarred face appeared gloomy and dreadful. 

He placed the golden hook on the table with force and remained silent for a while before asking, "Mr. 1, did he lose as well?"

"Yes. According to the reports, all the bones in his chest were broken, and his spine was shattered. His upper body was in pieces. While it may not be due to the fruit's ability, the injuries are undoubtedly fatal. Additionally, Mr. 2's body is missing, and Miss Wednesday is also missing."

"Never mind him. With the senior and middle-level agents almost wiped out, it's pointless for the remaining ones to be promoted. Find Miss Wednesday; she is essential to this country, and to us."

Crocodile calmly analyzed the situation. With the Baroque Work Agency disbanded, his plans were in disarray, and all his efforts to accumulate power for several more years were in vain. Now, without the support of the Baroque Work Agency, all his plans were disrupted.

"Joestar J. Rodney, what do you really want?" Crocodile closed his eyes and pondered. 

"Collect all the information you can find about Rodney within one day. Have it all on my desk tomorrow."

"Understood," Nico Robin nodded and left. As she glanced back at Crocodile, she knew that he was a man she feared deeply - cruel, ruthless, and a pirate who dared to challenge the world. Plus, his devil fruit power...

She decided to wait and see. If Rodney wins, she will cooperate with him. Rodney would undoubtedly be interested in the whereabouts of Pluton.

Robin believed that not many people in the world would resist the temptation of the ancient weapon Pluton. Few would give up the chance to ascend to power and dominate the world in a single step.

If Rodney knew what she was thinking, he would probably laugh. Why bother with Pluton's firepower when he could buy a few tailed beasts with enough quest points?

He could fight, escape, and use them as a charging treasure. The Tailed Beast Shukaku could propel him to the top of a mountain. There must be a chance to strengthen his Sharingan. Wouldn't Chibaku Tensei be easy to use?

(TL/N: Planetary Devastation)

Why would he need Pluton when the World Government would come after him if he took it?

All Rodney truly longed for was a peaceful life.
