Chapter 235 Weiwei: Uncle, you actually bully a child!
"Oh!"

The door of the council hall was thrown open, and Ikalem and Bell rushed in. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the king was safe and sound.

Cobra glanced at the two and smiled, "Don't be so nervous. If that gentleman really wants to do something, even Mary Joa can't stop him, let alone us."

These words made the two men look at each other, wanting to refute but knowing that what the King said was the truth.

The disclosure of the New Era Newspaper two years ago directly made the Celestial Dragons the target of many pirates' fame.

He killed two Celestial Dragons on Marijoa and escaped unscathed, and killed a total of six Celestial Dragons. How could Alabasta be able to contend with such a person?

But is calling him sir, a respectful title, because the conversation went well?
Cobra was still looking at the headset and signal dialing device in front of him, and he recalled what Kevin had just said in his mind.

The disaster of this country is about to begin...

"Ikalem."

"Your Majesty."

Cobra exhaled: "With that status, it is not necessary to deceive us, right?"

After he finished speaking, the captain and deputy captain of the Alabasta Guard fell silent.

In the meeting room, due to the instructions of Ikalem and Bell, there were no guards except the three of them at the moment.

The two of them had already used a lot of courage to rush in just now, and they were obviously worried about angering the gentleman whose name was known throughout the world.

But because of this, the two did not know how to answer, even though their king himself said that the gap was too big.

There was silence in the meeting room for a while.

Young Bell clenched his hands tightly: "No matter what, even if the other party is... But the guards will swear to protect the king to the death!"

"Snapped."

Ikalem slapped Bell on the shoulder: "Don't mislead the king!"

The two stared at each other but sighed.

Ikareem looked at the king. "You already have the answer in your mind, don't you? Although I hate to admit it, what you said before is indeed true: Alabasta has no power to stop him from doing anything, even if it tells the navy."

At this point, Ikarem's eyes narrowed, "There is one thing I need to remind Your Majesty. This gentleman's visit to Alabasta and his conversation with Your Majesty must not be known to anyone else, not even the navy!"

After a pause, Ikalem stared at Bell and said, "You too, can't tell anyone about this. This is related to the survival of the country. Don't think I'm exaggerating. Don't be careless!"

Bell looked puzzled: "I've always kept my mouth shut, okay?"

Ikalem looked down disdainfully and said, "I'm talking about Her Royal Highness the Princess."

After the fatal blow, Bell was unable to refute for a while.

To Princess Weiwei, he really seemed...

"This matter...can't be told to Weiwei."

Cobra also gave a reminder, and then told the two captains of the guard army in front of him what Kevin left.

For a moment, the three of them were wondering what the disaster Kevin was talking about was.

If it were two years ago, the three of them would have thought of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile at the same time.

But two years have passed, and this Shichibukai does not seem to have any intention of causing trouble in Alabasta. On the contrary, he often helps drive away the invading pirates at the Rapeseed Port.

After a while, Cobra put away the intercom in front of him and asked the two to keep the secret.

……

On the streets of Albana, Kevin looked back at the palace behind him.

Alabasta is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of both area and population. With 600,000 guards, the population is even larger.

It was one of the twenty countries that united to destroy the great kingdom eight hundred years ago. This alone was enough to prove the power of this country.

You know, in the first half of the Grand Line, in the sea area where Ivankov was the army commander, the number of Revolutionary Army members was less than 600,000.

"Is it still a little too early?"

It was expected that Cobra would refuse. After all, although Alabasta was currently short of water, it had not experienced a three-year drought like eleven years later.

As long as life is still passable and we are still alive, why should we rebel?
What's more, as the king, Cobra knows some information left by the Nefertari clan, and he obviously knows some of the power of the World Government, just like King Riku.

Kevin sighed and looked towards the alley beside him: "Come out, you're panting so loudly that even an idiot should be able to spot you."

After a while, the panting in the alley stopped abruptly, but no one came out.

Kevin walked over and stuck his head out.

I saw a little girl with blue hair, wearing a dress and a ponytail. She was covering her mouth and nose with both hands, and her little face was red.

"Well!"

The little princess was so frightened that she even forgot to let go of her hand.

Kevin was just about to lend a hand to help her, but she stepped back and fell to the ground.

But fortunately I remembered to let go now.

Princess Weiwei rubbed her butt and stood up, glaring at Kevin fiercely: "Uncle, you actually bully a child!"

_? ?

Kevin was a little confused, he spread his hands and replied: "I didn't touch you, you fell down by yourself, don't try to extort money from me! I just reached out to you because I saw that you were holding yourself back too much."

The little princess put her hands on her hips and pouted her lips. In just two seconds, her eyes changed from pretending to be fierce to filled with tears, and she was about to burst into tears.

"You're obviously an uncle and you scared me, but you still won't admit it!"

Even Kevin couldn't help but admire the good acting skills of this expression. He is indeed worthy of being able to do undercover work in the future.

Neferutali D. Vivi.

She had been eavesdropping on the entire conversation in the meeting room before, and after Kevin disappeared and left the palace, the little princess was able to rush out of the palace and catch him committing fraud...

I'm really lucky.

However, the Nefertari clan in Alabasta seems to have only one heir, Vivi.

As for the gender issue, it doesn’t matter. The king of Alabasta eight hundred years ago was the queen.

After thinking for a moment, Kevin said, "So what do you want as compensation? Buy you a bag of candy?"

Weiwei shook her head sharply, her ponytail swinging.

"No, I think the uncle can answer a question for me."

Hearing this, Kevin laughed and said, "That won't work. Letting you fall down is just a small loss, but it can't compare to the safety of Alabasta's nearly 10 million people and the Nefertari royal family."

⊙ ▽ ⊙

For a moment, Weiwei's eyes widened.

"Uncle, have you noticed me before?"

Kevin smiled and reached out to touch Weiwei's forehead: "This world is not as simple as you see. If I didn't even know that a little brat like you was eavesdropping, I would have been killed countless times."

Weiwei was tapped on the forehead and covered her head with her hands, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

However, her intelligence and perseverance since childhood made her seize the time to think about this.

[Note: At the World Conference at this time, Vivi, who was slapped by Wapol, was able to understand that if major problems arose between countries because of her, it would be dangerous for the people of Alabasta, so she was able to endure the grievance and apologize with a smile.]

After eavesdropping on the bratty kid, she was planning to go find fault the next day, but she found out that the conversation with the uncle who appeared behind her was even more outrageous.

"Uncle."

"Ok?"

"So the uncle should be a good person, right?"

nice guy?

Is this a nice guy card given by a child?

Kevin hesitated for a moment and replied, "In my own opinion, I have never thought of myself as a good person. After all, the number of lives that have died in my hands... is countless."

These words made the little princess' eyes widen and she couldn't help swallowing.

Could it be... that the other party is a murderer?
But even though my father had compromised, the other party did not use the secret as a threat.

"Goo."

"Uncle...So all the people you killed were bad guys, right? All pirates, right?"

Kevin leaned forward, and his disguised face suddenly enlarged: "No. There are not only pirates in there, but also kings, generals, soldiers, celestial dragons, agents of the World Government, and the navy as well."

"what!"

The little princess fell on her butt again.

She knew about the Celestial Dragons, and her father had decided to take her with him to attend the World Conference in the second half of the year, and the conference would be held in Marijoa.

The world's nobles who lived there, whether in books or in the admonitions of my father, have repeatedly stated that their status is extremely noble.

And then there is the King and the Navy…

Who is this uncle...?
In panic, a hand reached out.

Weiwei raised her head and looked over, only to see that the guy who had just seemed like a big devil in her imagination now had a teasing smile on his face.

Have I been deceived?

"Those mentioned above should be bad guys in your opinion."

As expected... I was cheated!

Little Princess Weiwei grabbed Kevin's hand and stood up, making a face: "A weird uncle who even bullies children is not cute at all!"

Kevin smiled and said, "I am answering your question very seriously. After all, good and evil need to be differentiated by stance. From those people's perspective, I am indeed like a demon from hell."

"Humph."

However, these words could no longer scare the little princess. After humming twice, Weiwei patted her dress, looked up at Kevin and said, "As the king, father has always been conscientious and responsible. The little brat named Kosa just now didn't understand the impact of dancing powder, so father is not..."

"I know."

Vivi, who wanted to explain on behalf of Cobra and thought that the uncle in front of her had misunderstood something, was interrupted.

"Uncle knows?"

Kevin nodded, turned around and walked out of the alley, and the little princess behind him hurriedly followed him out.

"If King Cobra is just like those royal families who treat the lives of ordinary people as ants, do you think I will just leave so easily?"

"But that's exactly why it's so difficult for me. It's reasonable for your father to have concerns, and I can understand that."

Weiwei said quickly: "Then uncle, can't you help us? You must be an important person, otherwise father wouldn't be so worried, so that sentence is also what you found out, right?"

The two were walking on the street when a middle-aged woman raised her hand to greet Weiwei and handed her two drinks.

Weiwei quickly bowed to express her gratitude and handed Kevin a cup.

Along the way, merchants would greet the little princess from time to time, but it seemed that they did not know her identity.

Kevin took a sip; it was green but refreshing.

Princess Weiwei glanced at him and said, "Now that you have accepted their gift, if they are in danger, won't you do something?"

"Huh? Cough cough cough!"

Kevin, who was choked, coughed for a long time. Then he looked at the green thing in his hand and thought for a moment that this thing was really valuable.

Looking at the smug little Princess Weiwei, he reached out and pulled her cheek.

"You don't look like a seven-year-old child at all. Your mind is full of weird ideas."

Kevin withdrew his hand and sighed, "Your father, King Cobra, is kind, so the people of this country can still live and work in peace and contentment, and they can still survive even if they pay the Heavenly Gold."

"The next queen should be you, Nefertari Vivi. With your character, I also believe that the people of this country can survive... but what about the next one?"

"To rely on one person for the safety of a country is foolish in my opinion. But the people in this world are too kind, so kind that they just want to survive."

Having said that, Kevin put his hand on Weiwei's shoulder, turned around and smiled at someone running over from behind as a signal.

The next moment, the two appeared in a small town.

This is the town where Kosa is located, and it is also experiencing drought.

"Using dancing powder will affect the natural rainfall in Alabasta, and even cause the rain to gather in one place and fall."

Kevin said, looking at Vivi: "But if there is a device that can purify seawater into fresh water, Alabasta should no longer be threatened by water shortage, right?"

Weiwei was stunned when she heard this: "Does the uncle have such ability?"

Kevin shook his head naturally: "No."

"Huh, what's the point of that uncle saying that?"

Weiwei put her hands on her hips and looked towards the dry town, with worry and unwillingness in her eyes.

Father has tried so hard, but why is it still like this? Why hasn’t it rained here for such a long time?
“When humans first appeared, they also had nothing. Later, they discovered fire and tools, and began to use these things with wisdom to create more tools.”

"Houses to shelter us from the wind and rain, weapons to fight wild beasts, ships to sail on the sea... there are too many."

"Liberate one person's mind, pull the entire society out of the feudal quagmire, and generate new sparks from the collision of ideas... But these are impossible to achieve in Alabasta at present."

After the words were spoken, Weiwei was unable to understand the meaning of these words for a moment.

But she could tell that the great man in front of her did not want to replace her father as king, and seemed to be truly considering the people of this country.

"The reason you explained this to me, uncle, is it because I will be the next king of Alabasta?"

Kevin nodded directly: "Indeed. In comparison, I think you should be more receptive to new things."

Weiwei frowned, feeling very conflicted.

Because she never thought that one day she would have to make such a decision.

Kevin reached out and ruffled her hair. "In fact, even if I tell you or your father, many things will be useless. There is a huge disparity in power, and the world government has to weigh the pros and cons."

"It sounds a bit coercive, but it seems that you have no other choice but to cooperate with me."

Weiwei pouted when she heard that. "It's always the uncle who's talking, but the specifics are a mystery. If I didn't think the uncle is a big shot who wouldn't lie, I would have suspected that you were lying to a child."

Kevin thought for a moment and replied, "You can tell your father what I said when you return. The Shichibukai came to Alabasta for the big rock that the Nefertari clan is guarding."

"Your father should know what is written on it. But as a member country, this thing itself cannot be seen in the light. In other words, you have no way to report the pirate to the Navy or the World Government."

"And you can't compete with him just relying on Alabasta, in this desert-filled country."

At this point, Kevin reached out and tapped Vivi's forehead: "You are a very smart child. Even the adults in this world are not as smart as you. So some things cannot be seen in the light, which means that once exposed, it will bring disaster to Alabasta."

At this time, two camels came not far from the desert.

It was the little boy Kosa who had argued with King Cobra in the palace council hall before, and his father Doto.

Weiwei was still in a daze, while Kevin looked over there: "If I hadn't shown up, you would have come to trouble that guy, right? I think you can go and try to beat him up, and then you can ask them to send you back."

"Eh?"

Weiwei was confused, but when she looked up again, she found that the strange uncle had disappeared just like before in the palace.

Wait! Disappear!
Also, during the conversation between my father and me in the meeting room, this uncle mentioned the revolutionary army.

A bounty of 6.3 billion berries... a cloaked man?

For a moment, Weiwei stood there in a daze.

The father and son who were returning on their camels also saw her, and Duotuo hurried over to ask.

……

In the palace of Alabasta, Ikarem was reporting to Cobra with an anxious look on his face.

Princess Vivi was taken away by that scary guy. Bell is searching all over the country from high in the sky but still finds nothing.

"don’t worry."

"Your Majesty! That's Princess Vivi!"

Cobra also frowned, but still tried to comfort him: "That gentleman obviously found the guards in the end, and the message he conveyed should be well-intentioned."

Someone who respects me by still giving me the right to choose after I compromise should not hurt me.

He even felt that there was a high possibility that Weiwei had found the gentleman herself, and the reason must be that she had overheard their conversation.

But what Weiwei overheard this time was too sensitive, so she must give her some instructions when she comes back.

……

Three hours later, Bell came back with Vivi with a bruised face.

Apparently, she had a fight with Kosa, and still stated that she wanted to be the boss of the Sand Sand Group.

After all, he was already worried about such a big issue as the safety of the country, but this little brat kept criticizing his father for his inaction.

How can you use something like dancing powder? Stupid!
So, taking advantage of Uncle Toto's absence, the intolerable little Princess Vivi challenged the idiot Kou Sha and staked the leader of the Sha Sha Group.

However, it was obvious that she overestimated herself. Due to the age difference and the strength of the other boy, she was beaten up badly. But she did become the deputy leader of the Shasha Group, so it was not a complete loss.

At this moment, Cobra was obviously stunned when he saw Vivi.

That gentleman...likes to bully children?
Ikalem ran over and hugged Weiwei, muttering, "How can there be such people? They actually bully children? And they beat them so badly!"

"How could he have the heart to do such a cruel thing to Princess Weiwei? Is he a psychopath?"

"Damn bastard, villain!"

Weiwei struggled to get rid of Ikalem and raised her fist in dissatisfaction: "I didn't lose! I will definitely win next time! When I replace him as the leader of the legion, I will be the most powerful!"

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

This made Cobra confused.

My precious daughter is going to become the commander of the revolutionary army?
What did that gentleman say to Weiwei?
Bell on the side couldn't help it anymore and told the origin of the injury on Vivi's face.

The fight between the two kids made Cobra feel relieved.

But after some thought, he took Vivi back to her princess room and asked the maid Medi to wait outside.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and Weiwei avoided the gaze a little.

"So you were eavesdropping in the council chamber before?"

"Ah."

"And you ran out of the palace and found that gentleman?"

Hearing this, Weiwei raised her head cautiously: "Father, that weird uncle is the one with a bounty of 6 billion Baileys..."

Cobra: "Shh!"

Seeing this, Weiwei quickly shut up and pulled her head to indicate that she didn't want to say anything more.

After a while, Cobra said, "That gentleman is a big shot that even the World Government cannot catch. It was an accident that you found him outside the palace."

"He has the ability to change his appearance and body shape. Even the World Government has not figured out his true appearance so far."

Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that there seemed to be such an introduction on the bounty order.

But soon she raised her head proudly: "Father, that weird uncle told me. The danger approaching Alabasta, that gentleman told me."

"Huh? What?!"

Cobra widened his eyes and looked at his daughter, who had been naughty since childhood, with a look of disbelief.

But Weiwei soon became depressed again, and even taking a deep breath could not calm the worries in her heart.
