Vira is a small island nation in the first half of grandline, like alabasta it was a desert island but was comparatively much smaller.
The present royal family of this nation is Galois royal family; it was a unique nation since the one who has the most power in this county is the world government; they have a marine base with nearly 2000 personals and were under rear-admiral Samuel, the present Queen of Vira is his sister olive Galois, who is the second wife of King Samson Galois.
When it happened no one knows as the authority over the nation turned from the royal family to rare admiral Samuel as he developed his own private army, since ten years he had already established a full control over the country.
But everything changed five years ago when the prince Daniel Galois asked for him to go away from Vira and raised an official petition to the marines, which forced Samuel to leave the country but Samuel did not just let it go and hired pirates and bandits to constantly attack the country, until the royal family forces are weakened and forced to a power struggles through his sister which resulted in the first prince victory and his sister lost her son.
There was no way rear admiral Samuel accepts this and framed the prince for being in collaboration with pirates.
And the current queen Olive even personally handed over the prince to the marines, who was then shot dead and was informed as killed while escaping.
Angered by the act of his wife, the current king cut of his wife's legs in his rage leading to a set of fights before Samuel took over the castle and prepared to take over the country by marrying the princess Liana and become the official king.
Then the ministers and princess fought against Samuel, but he was just too strong. The ministers sacrificed themselves to let the princess escape along with some best soldiers, which led to this current situation.
If Arya had not saved them, then the country would have already fallen under Samuel.
.
"What a tragic story" I said while crying, and admiring the prince and princess. This was just like the stories he read when he was small, where finally a hero would appear and save the princess and the kingdom and live happily forever.
"That is a very tragic story" everyone agreed.
"The princess is awake" deuce informed..
.
"So this is the princess, she does not look different to me" ace said, while joke and borodo also nodded.
"You idiots, what do you know every lady is a princess" Deuce said, while I nodded.
The Red haired, red eyes beauty sat up "Thank you gentlemen for saving us" She said, just like how I imagined a princess would.
"No problem" meroie said, while passing on some peeled apples to her.
"Princess I am glad that you are ok" lily said while crying, the soldiers all sighed in relief hearing that the princess is safe "Princess I know you are still recovering but if possible I would like to make a deal with them to retake our country" warren said while kneeling on the floor like a knight.
The princess body language changed as she sat straight and nodded.
"Sir arya of red rose pirates, I liana Galois princess of Vira would humbly request you to help us retake our country" She asked.
"Ok, let's go" I said, 'saving the princess of a country this is my first real quest'.
"I know it is hard to fight against a rear admiral and his private army but we also have our soldiers there are a total of 500 members still resisting against the Samuels army…." The princess seemed have not heard me as she continued to talk until warren stopped her.
"Princess, he accepted it"
"Hey arya is it ok to just accept it like that" borodo asked, "I don't care since I can finally fight without holding back" ace said.
"Finally a challenge for us" joke said, "I can finally show how strong I am" deuce said, "I will just do what arya says" Meroie spoke with a blush on her (She tends to blush whenever a strong male is around her).
The crew was more excited than afraid.
"Finally we can see who is stronger" I said with a smile.
The soldiers and princess were actually confused by our behaviour, no behaves like this when they are about to face a rear admiral and they are excited about it.
'We are doomed' they thought.
"Ok then let's go to vira"
.
We look over the three ships of red reapers; and set sail to vira and luckily the pirates had an eternal pose to vira.
"Since we already collected the bounties of them Samuel must already knew that princess has escaped, so he would be planning make a counter attack on us" warren said while showing the map of vira, and explaining us his strategies to fight them.
I got bored of it and fell asleep right after ace, the only one who listened were borodo, joke and meroie. Deuce was still treating the injured ones.
.
Later joke explained on how we will launch a stealthy attack on the castle and recapture it, which was our first mission.
"Joke, you are an experienced one. Then tell me how did the princess got attacked while running away frequently during these years" I asked.
"Arya-san, do you mean there is a spy within the soldiers" Joke asked, "Isn't it obvious" I deuce said.
"So our first mission is to get to know our enemy, than second is to find the spy only then can we prepare a plan" I said while still sleepy, "So how do we find out the traitor" ace asked.
"Simple we have to know how strong the opponent is, second make everyone believe we are only doing this for money and profit and the wolf in disguise would come to us itself" I said, as everyone understood, and smiled.
.
"Hey I have been meaning to ask what our enemy's strength is" I asked warren while in front of the soldiers.
"This sir arya, would it not be better we can discuss this inside" warren asked, "No we are going to fight them so it would be better if are open about it".
"Fine, to begin with Samuel is very strong and has a devil fruit power, which allows him to fly at incredible speed and move amazingly fast. And under him he has a 3000 solider that are lead by three commanders under him; the commanders are all strong and are known as commander red, blue and green. Other then the three there is jailor yellow, and his personal knight pink. These people are called colours and are Samuels top force, Other than that he has the support of 2000 marines stationed at the island, so totally we up against 5000 soldier the marine has a much stronger ships so fighting in sea is our disadvantage" Warren said.
"We should also be concerned about how to deal with pirates hire Samuel" lily added, the atmosphere suddenly turned dark.
"If I can fight this Samuel guy then I can definitely kick his ass" I said with a laugh, causing everyone to smile a little.
"We don't have to worry about more members, once we occupy the prison and release the soldiers in there we can have a 800 strong, and with the addition of rebels we can amass a 1300 soldiers and I also believe our citizens, they are presently just scared once we win back the castle they would join us" Princess liana has come out and said, the soldiers were able to see a hope and everyone shouted.
'The charm of a princess' I thought and smiled.
We next landed on Holiday Island to refill our stocks, and as expected there were five pirate ships waiting for us.
"Arya let me handle this" Ace said while jumping onto his waver.
"Fire fist" ace attacked and destroyed the five ships like it was nothing, as we captured some members.
And as the investigation went the pirate took out a den den mushi and placed it on the deck.
"You must be the new pirate group who destroyed the red reapers correct; I heard you tricked the marine in to giving you bounties for their heads. Do you think it is funny to fool marine" A person voice was heard but it was not difficult to know who this person was as the princess face turned pale.
"Yes I do, just like you" I said, there was a laugh before the person spoke again, "how about we make a deal, I'll pay you more then they offered" the person offered.
"You are man of my liking, than tell me how much you would pay. Just so you know it the princess offered 250 million belli to bring you down" I said, the atmosphere changed immediately, "Damn you traitor" the princess screamed and attacked me, too bad she was not strong enough as I captured her with ease.
"Princess" everyone screamed, "Calm down, we are having a discussion here" I said, my crewmates did not seem to understand but still took action to capture them all.
"So let's continue deal shall we", "you are a person of my liking too, 400 million including the traitor's soldier and we can have a deal. Those around you cannot offer anything more".
"Then it is a deal, where will be the exchange point" I asked, "in the route between alabasta and vira, you don't have to worry about the direction someone will guide you. I will send the money in a ship which has dolphin in the front it is a normal cruise ship so it won't attack you, but the transaction would be done only when we get everyone".
"Don't joke around, I'll send the soldiers in exchange of the money. Only when we confirm that everything is alright we will transfer your little princes and her bodyguards" I said, there was a silence "ok, deal".
"So who will be guiding us" I asked, when three soldier stepped up. "We will they said".
"Well then see you soon" I said before hanging up, "I thought so, will then you guys set the sail or else your princess dies" I said acting like an evil pirate.
"We should have never trusted a pirate like you" warren screamed and broke free from joke and tried to cut me before borodo hit him in the face and knocking him unconscious.
.
The princess was locked in a separate cage while her soldiers were forced to work, "I should have never trusted you" She shouted for like the nth time.
"Listen you red eye Titania, you said you would do anything if I saved you, so I ask for my price you. So shut up and do as I ask" I said Irritated of her screams 'Titania since she reminded me of erza'.
"Then you can do whatever you want to me, leave other out of this" She asked, "Idiot, can't you see this was the captains plan to find out the spies in the group" Meroie said unable to watch further.
Meroie's word suddenly brought the princess back to herself, and after thinking for a bit she finally understood the merits.
"This… why did you not inform me first" She asked, "Because you are a chatterbox" I replied and went to deck this girl was very troublesome.
Soon we arrived at a place where a ship was waiting for us, and as agreed I sent all the soldiers to the ship first and then waited for the money to reach.
But instead of money we got a canon shot.
"What is the meaning of this" I asked to the spy who was left on the deck, suddenly his den den mushi rang.
"Hehehe, I did not want the princess to be alive to achieve my goal. All I wanted to do was kill her in front of everyone if you surrender now may be you can live if not you shall die" Samuel spoke.
"No, I'll definitely kick your ass just you wait" I said while shooting the spy and throwing him to the sea, he might survive if he was lucky.
Soon a marine battle ship covered us from behind.
I had anticipated his betrayal but he did not want the princess is beyond my thinking, his scheme was much deeper.
I blocked the canon shots as borodo made the ship to move away, I can practically see Samuel wanting us to destroy this ship.
"Water slicer" I destroyed the ship to escape first.
Samuel I don't like it when I am being thought as a fool.
