Arabastan.
The capital, Alba.
The king of Arabastan had his own reasons for setting the capital here. The location was extremely exquisite.
Not far from the coastline, it was able to guard against pirates and was one of the few oasis cities in Alabastan.
The construction of the capital had also cost a lot of money. There was no other way except to break through the main gate.
At this moment.
In the palace.
Kobra was currently handling the government affairs of this country.
Behind him stood the captain of the country's guards, Ikarim, who was also the chief steward of the Naferutari family.
In front of Kobra stood the two guardians of Alabastan.
Falcon's Bell and Jackal's Jaka.
Bale and Gaica were both aptitude users who had eaten the Devil's Fruit. They were considered important figures in the first half of this great sea route.
Recently, there had been some unrest everywhere in Alabastan.
However, if someone wanted to assassinate Cobra, that was impossible. If it really didn't work out, they could ask the seventh warrior, Hesa Krogdal, for help.
Krogdahl had been fighting pirates here for more than ten years and had never claimed credit for himself. He could be called a model hero.
Although he was a pirate, he had a good relationship with Naferutari.
His daughter, Vivian, stood quietly beside Corbra.
She had light blue waist-length hair and a white princess dress. Her skin was as white as snow, and her round little face was still a little tender. Her face was also filled with worry.
"What should I do?"
Cobra looked at the document in his hand and held his forehead.
Recently, other than the capital, Alba, and the rainy lands where Krokdal was located, there was a drought everywhere.
Although the national treasury still had some surplus and disaster relief was not a problem, this was not a long-term situation.
Looking at the anxious Cobra, who was scratching his hair, Ikarim quickly said worriedly,"
"Lalala, Your Majesty, please take care of your body.”
"If you didn't sing, we could still be good friends.”
Cobb joked as he continued to read the document in his hand.
He had a good relationship with everyone. Although he was the king and his subordinates, they were like family.
However…
The citizens were the foundation of a country. A king who didn't care about his citizens was worse than trash.
However, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
"Sigh, the commoners are suffering."
Cobra sighed and finally said,""From tomorrow onwards, everyone in the palace will have their salaries halved to help with disaster relief.”
He looked at his father.
Wei Wei felt a pain in her heart, but she also felt a little proud.
She bit her lip. She wanted to do something for her father and her people.
Damn the heavens, why isn't it raining?
What was wrong with Alabastan? What was wrong with the people?
I really hope so.
There was someone who could come and help Alabastan.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
A shout sounded, and the voice revealed joy.
A man in armor rushed in.
Corbra was a little helpless. He teased,"
"Bao Da, you are an elite of the Bird Claw Army.”
"If you have anything to say, say it slowly. There's no hurry.”
Bao Da adjusted his breathing and knelt on one knee respectfully. He raised his head and said excitedly,
"Your Majesty, there were three people who wanted to see you just now, but they were stopped by our Bird's Claw troops.”
"After all, there are so many people who want to see you every day.”
"They actually have a solution to the drought.”
"Nani?"
Cobra was delighted. He suddenly stood up and said,""Hurry up and tell me the method."
"Which…Your Majesty, who said they wanted to talk face to face?”
Bao Da lowered his head in embarrassment.
"That's right. I was too excited."
Cobra nodded and tidied up his clothes before saying,""Prepare the banquet. Xiuda, tell me the characteristics of the three people. Weiwei, ask them to wait in the side hall for a moment.”
……
……
Outside the palace.
He looked at the white palace in front of him.
Lu Ning sighed.
It was inevitable that many people liked to travel in his previous life.
It could indeed broaden one's horizons and cleanse one's soul.
It had been some time since Bao Da of the Bird Claw Troop went in to report.
Nami grew impatient and whispered into Lu Ning's ear,"
"Do you really have a way to solve the drought problem?”
"If we fail, will the king kill us?”
"Of course there is a way."
Lu Ning nodded helplessly. Why didn't she believe him? Suddenly, she whispered,"
"Even if I fail, it doesn't matter.”
"Although I can't defeat these 600,000 garrison soldiers, it's not a problem for me to escape with the two of you.”
"You…"
Nami was so angry that she wanted to laugh.
So you don't have confidence either. What are you after?
Lu Ning looked at the palace in front of him with a deep gaze.
If he failed.
Then, he would decide to change his profession and become a pirate.
It had not been smooth sailing for so many days. They had encountered many pirates along the way, but their strength was relatively weak. It was not easy to encounter demon fruit aptitude users.
He compared the navy and pirates.
He realized that the pirates were more suitable for him.
Suddenly.
The two of them walked in Lu Ning's direction.
Lu Ning's eyes lit up.
The one walking in front was a young girl. Her light blue long hair reached her waist, and she wore a white princess dress. She wore a pink armor on her shoulders, and her skin was as fair as snow. She had an amiable smile on her face.
The young girl came forward and revealed an amiable smile.
She took half a step back with her right leg behind her left leg, lifted the hem of her dress, and bowed slightly."
"Dear friends from afar, Guian.”
"I am the first princess of the Kingdom of Arabastan, Naferutari Weiwei.”
Lu Ning looked at her with disgust.
Kroddal's Utopia project had just begun, and Vivian was now a real princess.
It was probably a request from Kobra to show the respect that Alabastan had for him. In simple terms, it was just a matter of face.
Lu Ning stepped forward and gave Wei Wei a bear hug. He pretended to be forthright and said,
"Haha, my name is Lu Ning. It's my honor to meet such a beautiful woman.”
On the other side, Bale's eyes widened. He quickly put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said coldly,
"You bastard, let go of your hand.”
Lu Ning held Weiwei in her arms and blinked. She whispered into Weiwei's ear,"
"Is this your boyfriend? You seem a little petty."
"No, this is the Falcon Bell, one of the guardians of our Arabastan.”
Vivian explained with a red face and forced a smile.""Lu Ning, can you take your hands off me? It's disgraceful.”
At the same time, Bale drew his sword and said coldly,"
"Impolite brat, if you don't let go, don't blame us for being impolite.”
"Even if you have a solution to the drought, I will not allow you to tarnish the dignity of the Wang family.”
Lu Ning held Weiwei in her arms and looked at Bale deeply. She let go of her hand and shrugged.
"Alright then."
"Bale, right?"
"I like loyal people like you!”
