"Captain…"
After the sandstorm that lasted for several hours ended.
The Azure Eyed White Dragon, who had also been hovering in the air for several hours, flew down with Robin.
Looking at the unconscious Krogdahl that Karl had brought down from the sky, Robin asked uncertainly,""Is he dead?"
"He didn't die, I held back."
Carl shook his head and grinned at Robin.""Didn't you work with him for the historical text of the Kingdom of Aberastan? The value of a living person is sometimes greater than a dead person. Later, we'll hand over Krogdahl and his evidence to the Neferutari royal family. We'll ask them to give us what I want and what you want. Otherwise, we'll release Krogdahl.”
"At that time, not only will they have to face us, who have turned from friends to enemies, but they will also have to face the pirates who have fallen out with them. I believe they will definitely compromise.”
"So that's how it is...."
Robin was slightly enlightened.
"Let's go! Xiao Bai, let's go to the rain first."
Carl casually threw Krokdal onto the Azure White Dragon's back, then picked up Robin and leaped up.
"Roar…"
The Azure Eyed White Dragon let out a roar that shook all living things. It turned into a white stream of light and soared into the sky.
The Azure Eyed White Dragon landed on the roof of Yuyan's building in a high-profile manner.
He broke through the window and entered Krogdal's office. With Robin's help, Carl not only found evidence of Krogdal buying dance powder and usurping the country, but also plundered his treasures.
After collecting, Carl and Robin rode the Azure Eyed White Dragon and headed straight for Alba.
With the unparalleled speed of the Azure Eyed White Dragon, they only took a few minutes to cross a vast desert and arrive at the capital of the Kingdom of Alba.
The Azure Eyed White Dragon descended from the sky and landed on an open space in the palace.
As if they had received a notice from the higher-ups, Carl and the others 'high-profile landing did not attract the encirclement of the kingdom's soldiers.
On the contrary, under the protection of Bell and the doggie fruit jackal form, Princess Vivian and Cobra quickly appeared in front of Carl and the others.
"Princess Wei Wei, we meet again.”
Carl raised his hand to greet Vivian, then his eyes fell on Cobra. He smiled and said,""This should be the current king of the Kingdom of Arabastan!”
"Your Excellency Dragon Knight, I've heard a lot about you.”
Corbra's gaze did not fall on Karl immediately because his gaze was already drawn to the Azure Eyed White Dragon and Krokdal, who had been thrown off the Azure Eyed White Dragon's back.
When he saw Krogdal, one of the seven legal pirates recognized by Mary Joshua and a Calamity Grade, lying in front of him in a sorry state, his threat level had already risen to the level of the Seven Martial Seas.
Therefore, he responded to Carl's greeting in an extremely friendly tone.
Little did he know that his emotional changes were all sensed by Carl.
Seeing that the king was shocked, Carl nodded in his heart.
It seemed that it was not as difficult as he had imagined to obtain what he wanted from this smart person.
After greeting them, Cobra warmly invited Karl, his wife, and his dragon into the palace. He also ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet for Karl and the others.
Even though they had just finished the banquet not long ago.
Before the banquet began, Karl and Robin were brought to the living room by Cobra, which was specially used to entertain guests.
In the living room, there were only Carl, Robin, the cute little dragon, Cobra, Vivian, and Bell.
As for Jaka…
He was in charge of bringing Krogdahl down and imprisoning him.
"King Cobra, this is the deal I told Princess Vivi about, and also the evidence of Krokdal's crime.”
As soon as he sat down, Carl took a document from Robin and handed it to Cobra. He said,""Not only is there evidence of Krogdal establishing the criminal group 'Baroque Workshop,' but there is also evidence of him buying dance powder on the black market and attempting to usurp the regime of the Kingdom of Arabastan.”
"What?!"
Hearing this, Cobra, Princess Weiwei, and Bale behind them were shocked.
Although they knew that Krogdahl must have had an ulterior motive for using dance powder in Alba.
However, they had never expected that Krogdahl's goal was to replace the Neferutari royal family and seize the political power of the Kingdom of Alabastan.
Kobra took the document from Karl and read it carefully. The more he read, the uglier his expression became.
The document wasn't just written evidence. There were also the printed copies of the receipt and photos that Robin had printed…
Obviously, Carl's evidence was real.
Krogdal was one of the legal pirates recognized by Mary Joshua. He came to the Kingdom of Alabastan and created a heroic image in the rain. He did not come ashore to clear his name, but to seize the country.
Moreover, this document not only contained evidence of Krogdahl's crimes, but also his follow-up plans.
When Corbra and Vivi saw that Krogdahl was not only planning to use dancing powder in Alba to cause the surrounding cities to fall into a drought, but he was also planning to use the fruit's power to intensify the drought and destroy a certain city to cause a rebellion, they were both shocked and afraid.
After reading all this, Cobra looked up at Carl, who was smiling, and could not help but feel a headache.
The value of this evidence was undoubtedly enough to affect the royal status of the Neferutari royal family.
According to the deal between Karl and Vivian, Corbra had to pay the same amount of money as the evidence.
And the reward for defeating Krogdal...
Apart from the throne, Cobra could not think of anything else that could be as valuable as this piece of evidence.
Therefore, Cobra couldn't help but feel troubled and worried.
What did he need to pay Carl?
If Carl's request was too much, could she refuse?
It was the worry behind it. Kobra had never thought of going back on his word.
Not to mention the fact that he would never repay kindness with hatred, even if the deal between Carl and Vivian was forcibly established by the former.
As the king of one of the rare superpowers in the world, Cobra knew very well that monsters like the Sea of Seven Martial Arts were not existences that could be defeated by human numbers.
Carl, who could defeat Qiwuhai, was definitely not someone they could defeat.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to go back on his words.
Kobra could only pray that Karl would not ask for too much.
"Your Excellency Dragon Knight, thank you very much!”
Cobra stood up and bowed to Carl as the king of a superpower. He said gratefully,""With this evidence, Maria will definitely strip Krogdal of his Seven Warrior Sea status. Not only did you save the Neferutari royal family, but you also saved tens of millions of people in Alabastan.”
"Please tell me what you want. No matter what it is, I will satisfy you with the strength of the entire country.”
The art of language made Karl and Robin feel good about Cobra's words.
Karl smiled warmly at Cobra's tactfulness and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, what I want may involve the secrets of your Neferutari royal family. Can you ask the guards behind you to leave?”
"Your Majesty…"
Bale's expression changed slightly as he looked at Cobra nervously.
"Bale, you can leave first..."
Before Bale could voice his concerns, Cobra raised his hand and interrupted him.""Although I have full confidence in your strength, we must admit that if the Dragon Knight wants to attack me, even if you and Jaka are here, it will be useless.”
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing this, Bale lowered his head and retreated with shame and unwillingness.
Bale, who was responsible for investigating who Krokdahl was fighting not long ago and had personally witnessed the calamity-like power of Karl and Krokdahl, was actually more aware of the gap between him and Karl than Cobra.
As the number one warrior of the Neferutari royal family, he did not even have the ability to protect the king and princess. This made Bale hate himself for being weak.
After Bale left, Cobra looked at Carl with a puzzled expression.""Your Excellency Dragon Knight, may I know what secret you mentioned about the Neferutari Royal Family?”
"Before that, let me introduce you to someone.”
Carl put his hand on Robin's shoulder and said,"The name of the person who helped you collect evidence of Krokdal's crimes may not be unfamiliar to the king, her name is... Nicole Robin!"
"Nicole Robin? This name…"
Just as Karl said, Corbra and Vivian felt that the name was familiar.
Then, Cobra's eyes widened slightly. He looked at Robin in surprise and said,""Are you the child who shocked the world back then?”
"'Child of the Devil' Nicole Robin..."
Vivian's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the bounty hunter and wanted criminal in front of her in disbelief.
One was a powerful bounty hunter, and the other was a wanted criminal of Mary Joshua…
Such a combination was obviously very impactful for Wei Wei, who hadn't gone out to increase her experience.
Seeing Karl reveal his identity, Robin nodded at Cobra and Vivian with a beautiful smile.
"As compensation for forcing a deal with Princess Wei Wei, I will not ask for an exorbitant price! I only want two rewards…"
After the introduction, Carl revealed his purpose."One is to help you defeat Krogdahl, and the other is to stop Krogdahl's plot in advance, and to give you the evidence of usurpation that will allow Mary to strip him of his identity as a member of the Seven Seas of Martial Arts.”
"Very reasonable conditions." Cobra nodded and waited for Karl to continue.
However, Carl's next sentence made his expression change.
"The first reward is that my crew wants to see the historical text of your Neferutari royal family.”Carl raised a finger and smiled.
"This..."
Although Cobra knew that Carl's request would not be that simple, he did not dare to ask for it.
However, he didn't expect that Karl would ask them to look at the historical text of [Pluto], one of the three ancient weapons that they had guarded for hundreds of years.
If it was anyone else, Cobra would not mind showing it to him.
Because he was sure that the other party would not understand.
However, beside the young man in front of him sat one of the few Ohara survivors who could read ancient words.
Karl was undoubtedly asking him for the secret of Hades.
Therefore, Corbra could not help but be caught in a dilemma.
Should he agree to the other party's request?
Moreover, could he refuse?
Looking at Carl, who was still smiling, Cobra was suddenly stunned.
Thinking back to the scene where he introduced Nicole Robin, the other party did not hide Nicole Robin's identity. Instead, she openly introduced Nicole Robin and then stated her request to read the history text.
This honesty, perhaps…The other party was not an evil person who coveted the Nether King!
At the thought of this, Cobra took a deep breath and nodded.""Sure, I promise you!"
"Thank you very much!"
After seeing Cobra nod his head, Robin, who had been calm all this while, finally revealed an excited expression. He stood up and bowed to Cobra to thank him.
Carl patted the excited Robin and looked at Vivian, who had been listening to their conversation. He smiled meaningfully at Cobra and said,""The king is indeed magnanimous. In that case, please take Robin to read the historical texts. As for the second reward, I would like to have a private chat with the king.”
"No problem!"
Seeing that the other party was not so keen on the main text of history, Cobra heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he nodded without hesitation and whispered into his daughter's ear as if he was instructing her.
"Leave it to me, Father!"
Vivian nodded with a serious expression, then stood up and bowed politely to Karl before leaving the hall with Robin.
Carl could sense that Bale's aura was following Vivian and Robin.
Instead, it was Jaka who had left earlier. His aura replaced Bale's position.
"Your Majesty, don't worry.”
Retracting his perception, Carl looked at Cobra in front of him and said slowly,""I have no interest in the [Pluto] that your Neferutari royal family has been protecting. The real reason I came to Arabastan is for another secret of your Neferutari royal family! Therefore, my second reward is…"
“......”
Kobra's eyes widened again, and his pupils constricted to the size of a needle tip due to extreme shock.
It was unknown whether this shock was because Karl knew that the main text of history recorded the secret of Hades or because of Karl's words at the end.
However, Cobra fell into a longer silence than before…And tangled!
....................
Late at night.
After enjoying the banquet prepared by the Neferutari royal family, Carl and Robin rejected Cobra's invitation to stay overnight and left Alba on the Azure Eyed White Dragon.
On the dragon's back, Robin looked at the black sarcophagus Karl was carrying and asked curiously,""Is this the secret of the Neferutari royal family being able to pass down the Demon Fruit from generation to generation?”
"Ah... Maybe!"
Carl first nodded and then looked at the black sarcophagus. Then he said with uncertainty,""That's what the king said, and his emotions have always been very stable. He doesn't seem to be lying.”
"However, this inheritance method doesn't seem to be 100% accurate.”
Carl put down the black sarcophagus and said helplessly,""The Neferutari royal family has indeed mastered this technique, but it can only increase the chances of the fruit's ability being reborn nearby after the death of the person with the demon fruit ability.”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Robin asked curiously.
"After the death of a Devil Fruit ability user, their ability will sometimes be transferred to a nearby fruit and be reborn.”
Carl patted the stone coffin and said,""The Neferutari royal family's method of inheritance is actually to place the ability user into a special stone coffin left behind many years ago when he or she is still breathing. The stone coffin is filled with fruits to increase the probability of the ability being transferred to the fruit.”
"Sometimes they are lucky, and the fruit is directly reborn in the stone coffin.”
"Sometimes, the ability will be reborn in Alba's city and then found or purchased by the regular army.”
"Sometimes, the ability will be reborn in other cities in the Kingdom of Alabastan. However, due to the strength of the Neferutali royal family and the belief of the people of Alabastan in eagles and jackals, these two fruits will eventually return to the hands of the Neferutali royal family.”
"Even if someone eats these two Demon Fruits, they will use all kinds of methods to recruit them and make them one of their own.”
After saying that, Carl's lips curled up slightly.""The only good news is that the rebirth of the two Demon Fruits is fixed on Shengting Island.”
"Allow the ability to regenerate within a certain area..."
Looking at the black stone coffin, Robin said in surprise,""The Neferutari royal family actually has such technology. Is this the foundation of the ancient human country?”
Carl smiled and said nothing.
In the past, this technology would undoubtedly be very powerful.
However, after Mary Joshua obtained the Treasure, she could even transfer the power of the Devil's Fruit to an inanimate object, let alone increase the chance of revival.
Other than the scientist whose intelligence was 500 years ahead of humans, the Dark Fruit could even increase the probability to 100%.
For a transmigrator like Carl, this kind of unstable technology was outdated.
However, this technology was enough for Carl's next plan.
