Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

With Bell and the Super Duck troop present, the soldiers guarding the gate would naturally not stop them, and everyone directly entered the city from the nearest west gate on the Duck.

After entering the city, the running ducks stopped running fast, but slowed down to let the guests feel the style of Albana while walking.

Maybe it's because Crocodile hasn't been in Alabasta long enough, and the environment here is not as harsh as it was at the beginning of the plot. The streets of Albana, the capital of the kingdom, are full of bustling scenes.

Bell introduced the characteristics of various parts of the capital to Zhang Daye and the others for a while, and then responded to enthusiastic passers-by. This young adjutant of the guard seemed very popular.

Everyone looked at the buildings on both sides of the street with great interest, each wrote down the places they were interested in, and played slowly later.

Alabasta’s palace looks a bit like a fusion of India’s Taj Mahal and Egypt’s Moses Abu Abbas Mosque, with grand architecture and exquisite decoration. According to Bell, the palace’s history is at least several hundred years old. Such a historic building is very rare in the whole world.

The castle with a long history and beautiful decoration, although not a dark decoration style, but it also suits Perona's aesthetics, she couldn't wait to go in and take a look, but was held back by Zhang Daye, waiting for Bell to go in and report.

So the two guards at the door saw a little loli wandering around the door like a headless fly, and even circled around the two of them.

The guards did not dare to be angry or speak out. They could not discredit Alabasta in front of the distinguished guests, and they must maintain their momentum.

A middle-aged man with curly black hair walked over quickly, followed by several guards. Judging by Bell's performance, this should be King Cobra of Alabasta.

"Your Majesty, how can you...cough, well~" An uncle with big white waves followed, and he cleared his throat on purpose in the middle of speaking, adjusting his voice like singing a beautiful canto, before continuing Said, "How can you act so hastily? At least let the guards assemble before coming back."

"It's okay, Icarem, it's fine if you and Bell are here." Cobra said indifferently, "What are you doing with so many guards to welcome guests?"

"It's really rude to keep everyone waiting for so long." Cobra greeted Zhang Daye and the others with a kind face.

"You're too polite." Zhang Da also slandered that this person really didn't have the slightest sense of defense. No wonder he was assassinated in Marie Gioia.

After the two sides briefly introduced each other, Cobra led Zhang Daye and the others into the palace, and the guards followed behind curiously and nervously. Unlike Icarem and Bell who were familiar with the information of the Amber Tour Group, these Ordinary guards were very curious about the honored guests greeted by the king in person. They remembered that when the future came to burn the mountain, the king did not greet him immediately with such excitement.

This is of course, after all, the navy is a member of the world government. Even a king like Cobra does not like people from the world government to intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom. If Crocodile does not have the status of Shichibukai, he Most of them will think about solving it themselves.

As the king of a big country with a standing army of 600,000, Cobra is confident that his own military strength is enough to solve a Crocodile. He didn't have a concept of the powerful people in this world, so in the original plot, he tried to use the mechanism in the basement to bury Crocodile alive.

In his opinion, no matter how strong a person is, how can he compete with 600,000 troops? When the agents of the Baroque Work Agency were expelled some time ago, couldn't they resist?

Therefore, although Cobra maintained a polite attitude towards Lieutenant General Huoshan and supported his actions, his attitude did not show much enthusiasm.

But the Amber Tour Group is different. They don’t belong to any faction, they just simply helped Alabasta. Now they come here for a trip, and of course Cobra will receive him with gratitude.

Moreover, according to the information provided by the navy, all of these people are talents, and they are unwilling to join the navy. If one or two can be recruited, it will be a good thing for the country.

As for some people's information marked with the words 'extremely hungry', it was ignored by Cobra. The food intake is a trivial matter, and 600,000 troops can afford it. Is it still short of the rations of these few people?

"The matter of the Baroque Works is really thanks to your help." Cobra expressed his gratitude to the Amber tour group, and invited them to spend more time in Alabasta, and was even willing to lend them the running duck during this time ride.

Zhang Da also said that he just met Baroque Works at that time, and he had some personal grudges with them, so don't thank them too much. And he really wanted to bother for a while longer, at least to visit several famous cities in Alabasta. For him, the desert trip is also a rare experience.

"Bell! Bell!" A blue-haired little girl ran over excitedly calling Bell's name.

To be precise, it was a dirty little girl with blue hair, with black stains all over her clothes, face, and arms, and her blue hair was also disheveled.

"Princess Weiwei!" Bell was taken aback, "How did you do this?"

"Princess Weiwei? Did you fight with someone again? Which bastard is it?" Icarem is a princess-protecting madman. Seeing Weiwei like this, he was rolling up his sleeves while talking, ready to give the 'murderer' a blow. lesson.

The word "again" in Icarem is a bit interesting, and Zhang Da also fell into deep thought. Although I know that Weiwei is different from ordinary princesses, she is naturally dull and full of adventurous spirit, but was she so skinny when she was a child? Fighting with others every day?

Perona has already pulled Wendy and Xia Lulu and whispered, is this little dirty girl who looks younger than them actually a princess? I don't know if we can play together.

Jackie Chan took a look at Weiwei, and instinctively told him that this is another problem child, it's better to stay away.

On the contrary, Cobra didn't react too much when he saw Weiwei's appearance, maybe he was used to it, and he asked, "Weiwei, what happened?"

"Hee hee hee..." Weiwei rubbed the back of her head with one hand, and smiled sheepishly, "I went to the arsenal, trying to use gunpowder to make fireworks, but failed."

It turned out to be smoked like this by gunpowder! Or it was blown up like this at all!

Zhang Da also found that he had underestimated Weiwei's recklessness, this child could no longer be described as 'skin'.

Icarem and the other guards were almost petrified, and the princess actually went to play with gunpowder! Icarem now wants to hang up the guard of the armory and beat her, how did she slip in!

"Because it's Bell's anniversary, so I thought..." Weiwei didn't notice that the others were completely frightened by her behavior, and said heartlessly, "It's a pity that I accidentally messed up... "

Snapped! Weiwei fell to the ground covering her cheeks. (Don't complain, Weiwei was really beaten, there are pictures to prove it)

"Who asked you to do this kind of thing on purpose, bastard!" Bell roared, "How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to play in that place! What if you are in danger?!"

Weiwei was stunned, she didn't expect to be reprimanded by Bell like this, she bit her lip aggrievedly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Lord Bell!" The guards were stunned again. Lord Bell actually hit the princess?

"Hey, Bell! Do you know what you're doing? I'm going to fire you, immediately!" Icarem yelled at Bell, and reached out to grab Bell's collar.

Cobra put a hand on Icarem's shoulder and stopped him: "Don't do this, Icarem. It's okay, Bell is not wrong."

Weiwei stood up, and ran away while wiping her tears. A young duck that was evasive not far away slapped and followed.

Icarem, who saw Weiwei running away, became angry again, and he waved his fist: "Bell, you bastard!"

Bell turned around and saluted the king: "Your Majesty, I..."

"Bell." Cobra interrupted him, "You made Vivi cry, so you are in charge of coaxing her."

Bell raised his head: "But His Majesty the King..."

"Go."

Bell moved: "Yes!"

After dealing with the housework, Cobra smiled at Zhang Daye and the others: "Sorry, the little girl is a bit naughty, everyone laughed."

"Ah, it's nothing. Every family will inevitably have a naughty child." Zhang Da also glanced at Perona and said with a smile, "But you are really tolerant of your subordinates."

Perona stared at Zhang Daye, who was being naughty, she felt that she was much more sensible than that little princess.

Arturia also looked at Cobra, this was more than tolerance, almost to the point of connivance. As the king of a country, few people can tolerate subordinates doing things to their children, even if the children are at fault first. It's about the face and authority of the royal family, and Cobra can't care about it at all.

"Even if she is respected as a princess, Vivi is just a child, and she should be taught a lesson if she does something wrong." Cobra looked in the direction Bell left, "Bell is a person who knows how to measure, if not If I was too worried about Weiwei, I wouldn't do such a thing, how could I blame him."

"Your Majesty the King..." Icarem and the guards were so moved that they were about to burst into tears. It's great to be able to serve the Neferutari family!

Cobra wasn't performing, all his actions were out of his heart, although he didn't intend to buy Xin Xin at all, but Xin Xin leaned towards him by himself.

In a peaceful and prosperous world, it would be a blessing for people to have such a king, but in such a world, it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

Based on Bell's description along the way and what she saw with her own eyes, Arturia has almost learned about Cobra's personality. This seems to be a very "naive" king, and what he thinks and does is full of idealization.

"Is this really good?" As a king, sometimes you need to make some cruel decisions, but can a king who is so kind to you really do it? Arturia wanted to say something, but felt that as a king of subjugation, she didn't seem to be qualified to point fingers at other people's actions.

"No problem, this is Alabasta." Cobra seemed to know what Artoria wanted to ask, but the Neferutari clan has done this for a long time, giving their subjects the greatest trust and care , I also believe that they will give themselves the greatest support.

Then, relying on this extremely naive idea, they managed to keep the royal family alive for hundreds of years.

As the captain of the guard, Icarem often felt that it was inappropriate for the royal family to do so, but he himself had been doing his best to protect them precisely because the royal family was like this, and sometimes he himself felt contradictory.

"This is it, please take your seat." As expected of someone who has studied the information of the Amber Corps, Cobra directly brought them to the banquet hall, "Tiragoda, are you ready?"

A 'maid' who was very similar in appearance and shape to Icarem came in at the door. She said confidently: "Based on my 20 years of experience as a chef in the palace, I guarantee that I will never disappoint the guests!"

"Hey, hey?" Perona had already screamed, "There is an Uncle Icarem! Twins?"

"It's not...cough, well~" Icarem denied, "It's just a couple. Tiragorda is my wife and the foreman of the palace chef. She is very skilled."

Wendy and Xia Lulu asked curiously what "husband and wife picture" meant.

"It is said that the longer the couple stays together, the more they will become more and more alike in terms of face, temperament, and behavior..." Jackie Chan patiently explained to the little girls, but he himself She also looked shocked, "This is the first time I've seen someone who has a 'husband and wife look' to this extent, it's really incredible."

"It turns out that marriage is so magical, so powerful..." The little girls gained strange knowledge.

Shark Pepper was deep in thought, the B-series robots are very similar to humans in all aspects, so would it be the same if he married Tenderina? Is Tenderina becoming him, or is he becoming Tinderina?

Zhang Da also wanted to say that the Icarem couple was just an exception, but he had never been married before. In the face of living examples, his words were not convincing at all.

"Thank you for the compliment." Tiragoda directly took their discussion as a compliment. She thought it was proof that she and her husband had a good relationship. She clapped her hands, "Start!"

Numerous maids and male waiters put the trays on their heads and walked into the banquet hall in a long line.

Cobra didn't say anything more, and said directly: "Please enjoy it!"

Ten minutes later, Tiragoda could see who the most powerful person at the table was: "A blond girl, a black-haired girl, a robot, a black-haired boy, and... a cat?"

"This is the first time I have met such an opponent." Tiragota looked at Artoria, "The temperament is so dignified, the movements are so elegant, and the eating speed is so fast that it is unreasonable..."

"I won't lose!" Tiragota put on her apron confidently and walked towards the kitchen.

At this moment, Cobra was recalling the words 'great appetite' specially marked on the information, and suddenly felt that the navy was tricking him, and the words were deliberately unclear. But it's not a big problem, at most, the cost of the palace will be reduced in the next period of time.

Zhang Da also carefully tasted the unique dishes of the Alabasta Royal Palace, and felt that Aunt Tiragata was indeed a veteran chef who had been in charge for 20 years, and some of the chefs in Bharati might not be as good as her.

Of course, besides enjoying the delicious food, he didn’t forget about his business. After eating almost, he chatted with Cobra about investigating the Baroque Works.

"Do you also want to participate in the investigation?" Cobra hesitated, not wanting to let the guests take any more risks. "This matter is very dangerous, so we can just leave it to us. If it doesn't work, the navy is still here."

I just think you guys are too good at dealing with Crocodile... It's not easy for Zhang Da to say: "Actually, there are a few of us who are very good at intelligence, and participation may have unexpected results. And anyway, we have already messed with the Baroque Works, and we can't get rid of the relationship no matter what."

"Well, do you need any help?" Cobra said. "How about sending Bell to protect you?"

"That's not necessary. We are still a little confident in our own strength. You just need to give us a suitable identity so that we can participate in a legitimate way."
