Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 142 Farewell to Vivi & Mrs. Who Sneaks onto the Ship - Sunday

Picking up where we left off, after spending a few days at the Alabasta Palace and recovering considerably, the Straw Hat crew finally had their departure day. However, they left Vivi a message saying they would meet her at the port and set sail together once again for another adventure...

The Straw Hat crew, having set off ahead aboard Karoo's companions, sped towards the Going Merry's location late into the night. Meanwhile, Vivi pondered whether she should join Luffy and the others on their adventure, as she still had her country to consider…

Vivi stood on the palace terrace, gazing into the distance, lost in thought. She knew that once she boarded that ship, it would mean temporarily setting aside her identity as a princess and her responsibilities to her country. But the mysterious sea and the vibrant, dream-filled faces of Luffy and his crew kept flashing through her mind.

At this moment, Icarum walked up behind her and said softly, "Your Highness, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" Vivi bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, "I really want to go, but my people..." Icarum smiled, "Your Highness, you have already done enough for Alabasta. And now that the country is stable, you can also have some time to pursue your own dreams."

Vivi seemed to have figured things out upon hearing this, and immediately rode Karoo towards the port. Seeing this, Icarus seemed to have some kind of plan, smiled slightly, and returned to his room, seemingly preparing to do something...

Meanwhile, when Luffy and the others arrived at the Going Merry, Goten was surprised to see someone dressed in a ballet costume on board. Upon looking around, everyone recognized him as Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and they all became wary...

However, Foncray interjected, "Wait, wait, I'm not here to fight you. Besides, if I hadn't protected your ship in time, it would have been seized by the navy long ago..."

Upon hearing this, Goten questioned, "Wait a minute, I've already arranged for the Kung Fu Dugongs to help look after the Going Merry. Where did they go?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Kelei calmly replied with his hands on his chest, "You mean them? They were already injured when I arrived, so I sent them back to heal. I'll take over protecting your ship..."

Upon hearing this, Zoro couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping us when we are clearly enemies?"

Upon hearing this, Bon Clay gave a thumbs up and affirmed to the Straw Hat crew, "Baroque Works has been defeated, but we still have the bond of friendship, so let's act for friendship. What could be more romantic than that!"

These words instantly moved Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper. The three of them immediately embraced Bon Clay and began to dance joyfully. Goten, though a little awkward, acknowledged Bon Clay's friendship.

After resting for a while, the Straw Hat crew and Bon Clay set sail together. Luffy and the others, on the other hand, were prepared to risk being captured by the Marines to go to the port in order to pick up Vivi. When questioned by Bon Clay, Luffy simply replied, "We're going to pick up our friends, no matter what it takes, so you guys go ahead..."

Bon Clay was also moved by what he heard. However, at that moment, the Marines discovered the area and began to surround Luffy and his crew. Looking at Luffy and his friends who were willing to risk their lives for their comrades, a strange impulse welled up in Bon Clay's heart...

So Bon Clay shouted at Luffy and the others, "Wait a minute, Straw Hat, let me offer a little help for your burning friendship!"

So when the Marines spotted the "Straw Hat Crew" and gave chase, they finally caught up only to discover they'd fallen into Bon Clay's trap. The Straw Hat crew they'd spotted was just Bon Clay and his men in disguise. At that moment, the Marines turned around and saw the real Straw Hat crew had already escaped their firepower, and they were even being blocked by Bon Clay and his crew...

Touched by Bon Clay's friendly help, the Straw Hat crew immediately sped up and arrived at the port, where Vivi also arrived on time...

However, just as the Straw Hat crew was about to set sail, Vivi spoke up, saying, "I can't go with you." Vivi's eyes were filled with tears, but her expression was very firm.

Everyone was shocked. Luffy shouted, "Why, Vivi? We agreed to go on adventures together!"

Weiwei took a deep breath and said, "I've thought a lot these past few days. Although the country is currently stable, there are still many hidden dangers. If I leave like this, and a crisis occurs, I will ultimately be unable to abandon the country I love."

Vivi shook her head: "This country still needs me. The people here are like my family. I can't leave when they might be in danger."

Vivi couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke, and still shouted to the Straw Hat crew, "Even though I can't sail with you anymore, will you still call me your comrade?"

Upon hearing this, in order not to give the Marines any leverage over Vivi, the Straw Hat crew did not shout a reply to Vivi. However, they all removed the bandages that had once served as their mark and raised up the symbol that represented the friendship between Vivi and the Straw Hat crew in response.

Seeing this, Vivi understood immediately and raised her own symbol as well. Karoo, standing beside her, also revealed its symbol, joining Vivi in ​​responding to the Straw Hat crew...

The Straw Hat crew slowly sailed away from the port until the ship disappeared on the horizon. Only then did Vivi turn around, her eyes filled with determination, and walk towards the Alabasta royal palace. She was about to take on the responsibility of governing the country with a completely new attitude.

Finally, the Straw Hat crew left Alabasta. While Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper were still immersed in grief, Goten and Zoro were speechless. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out—"The ship has successfully escaped the Navy's pursuit..."

Following the sound, everyone looked and discovered that Mrs. Sunday from Baroque Works had infiltrated the Going Merry. Upon seeing this, everyone panicked and drew their weapons, pointing them at Mrs. Sunday. Luffy then asked, "Why did you sneak onto our ship? What do you want?"

Mrs. Sunday calmly replied, "You defeated my superior, and now I have nowhere to go, so let me sail with you, let me become your partner..."

Everyone was surprised upon hearing this. Some were happy while others were worried. Sanji was instantly smitten, while Luffy said without even thinking, "Sure."

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Sanji and Chopper remained silent, while Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and Goten immediately voiced their opposition. Just as the four were firmly expressing their opposition, Mrs. Sunday casually pulled out a bag of jewels she had obtained from Crocodile and won Nami over.

Upon seeing this, Usopp, Zoro, and Goten immediately complained to Nami: "Couldn't you have held on for just one more second?!"
