One Piece: My Spirit

Alabasta's palace
Naferutali Cobra had just finished dealing with the recent small-scale riots, and it was already night outside at this time, but the recent events also gave Cobra a headache.

Except for a very small amount of precipitation in a small number of areas in Alabasta more than a year ago, from two years until now, most parts of the entire country have not experienced rain at all!
There has been no precipitation in most areas for a long time, and people's lives have been greatly affected. At the same time, frequent sandstorms have also caused the destruction of many small towns, and the voice of public complaints has become louder. Because of this reason, riots occurred in some places, and then intensified into riots.

Because of the internal riots in the country, this superpower has been coveted by many pirates. Under normal circumstances, Alabasta will not be attacked by pirates, but when a country has civil strife and riots, the pirates who like to take advantage of the fire swarm like sharks smelling fishy, ​​ready to gnaw a piece of meat on Alabasta at any time.

The pirates that used to be found in the port cities are now going deep into the upper reaches of the Santing River, and many cities along the river have been attacked by pirates.

"Ugh"

Cobra rubbed his temples, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation in his many years in power, because Cobra had never had a good night's sleep for more than a year.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, please rest early."

Jaka, the acting captain of the Kingdom Guard who has been guarding King Cobra, couldn't help persuading him.

"Thank you, Jaca." Cobra nodded, then stood up and walked to the balcony of the room, looking at the night sky and sighing: "I don't know where Weiwei has gone? Is it safe or not?"

"Princess Weiwei is protected by Captain Icarem, so she will be fine."

"I hope so"

Naferutali Weiwei, Cobra's daughter, is also the princess of Alabasta. More than a year ago, Weiwei suddenly told Cobra that the country could not go on like this, and then Weiwei and the captain of the Kingdom Guard, Icarem, left the palace without knowing where to go.

If it wasn't for Icarem's occasional letters to report that he was safe, Cobra would almost have dispatched a large number of troops to search for it.

But at this time, a cloud floated in the night sky unknowingly, and when Cobra was enjoying the moonlight on the balcony for a while and then turned around to return to the room, there was a sound of "boom, boom, boom" in the originally quiet surroundings.

Two figures in cloaks and masks suddenly appeared on the railing of the balcony. Gaka, who sensed an outsider invasion, immediately stood in front of Cobra, with his left hand on the weapon at his waist, as if ready to launch an attack at any time.

"Be careful, Your Majesty! Who are you!"

It was Ciel and Robin who appeared in front of Cobra and Jaca at this time. When facing Jaka's intentional loud reprimand, although Ciel was aware of his intention, he didn't pay much attention to it. However, due to his sensitivity as a swordsman, Ciel also noticed that Jaka was a left-handed swordsman.

Charles and Robin fell from the railing to the ground, and at the same time, Charles raised his hands: "Please rest assured, we have no malicious intentions."

While speaking, Charles also gently took off the mask on his face, but Robin at the side did not take off his mask, but took a slight step back and stood behind Charles, which seemed to imply that the protagonist of this negotiation was led by Charles.

When seeing Ciel's appearance, Cobra and Jaca were puzzled at first, but they seemed to recognize Ciel's appearance very quickly.

"Are you the captain of the G2 branch?"

"Defected navy? Beheaded demon?!"

Because of the G2 naval branch, Cobra is actually no stranger to Shire, or until a few months ago, Cobra, the naval captain of the G2 branch, had more or less heard of the name Shire.

Jiaka recognized Shire who was crowned as "Defected Navy" in the "World Classics" not long ago, and also had the title of "Silver-eyed Beheaded Demon" and the bounty of up to [-] million Berry!

Therefore, after recognizing Shire's identity, Jiaka felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his whole body tensed up, and the hostility and killing intent constantly radiated from his body, as if as long as Shire made a rash move, he would attack immediately!

However, unlike the nervous Jaca, Cobra was much calmer, only slightly frowning and looking at Ciel.

"Worthy of being the lord of a country, this calm and composed appearance is at least much better than most royal nobles."

Ciel didn't seem to care about Jakar's murderous intent and hostility, and instead talked to Cobra in a relaxed tone.

After all, in the eyes of the world at this time, Shire's identity is 'defecting from the navy', a vicious and wanted criminal with a reward.

"What's the matter with you here? It's a felony to break into the palace without permission!"

Although Cobra knew about Shire's deeds when he was a navy, but at this time he was already a wanted criminal, so his attitude was naturally different.

"Hehe. This crime sounds really serious, but I am here this time to make a deal with King Cobra."

"It's a disgrace that a colonel of the navy has been reduced to become a wanted criminal. He not only betrayed his partner, but also the people who believed in the navy! Now he is still trespassing on the kingdom at night, and he still has the face and qualifications to negotiate a deal with His Majesty?!"

Jaca on the side couldn't help reprimanding Charles for his behavior. In his opinion, a wanted criminal broke into the palace so rampantly, and even said that he wanted to negotiate a deal with the king. This was simply an insult and disrespect to the royal family.

Robin, who was behind Shire, couldn't help but want to step forward after hearing Jaka's words, because Robin knew very well that Shire was deliberately stigmatized by the World Government. After hearing Jaka's misunderstanding and insulting Shire, Robin couldn't help feeling annoyed. They didn't know the truth of the matter at all, let alone the pressure Shire was under!
It's just that Shire shook his head gently to stop Robin. Facing Jaca's sarcasm, Shire's face still had a relaxed and casual look, and he didn't seem to be affected.

Although Cobra frowned slightly at Jaka's words, he didn't say much. This was considered a tacit acquiescence to Jaka's words in disguise, and it was also the attitude Cobra expressed at this time.

Charles also saw this clearly, but Charles still looked relaxed and confident:

"Your Majesty Cobra, don't you want to hear the content of the deal? For example... I can solve the problem of no rain in your country."

Ciel's words seemed to hit Cobra's life gate as accurately as a bullet!
