Chapter 333
Alabasta, Tamarisque.
After finally dismissing the enthusiastic crowd, Karl and his party were able to be liberated.
"Nelson, you take people to garrison here, I'm going to Alubarna alone."
Originally, Karl was going to take the Navy soldiers to the capital of Alabasta, but now it seemed it wouldn't work. If he had to be blocked every time he went to a place, that would be too troublesome.
And if he went alone, he could ride the Raven, which was fast and convenient. Nelson and the others could just guard the ship.
"Yes, sir, then I will take people here to wait for your return. If you have any needs, contact me with the Den Den Mushi."
Karl nodded, and the Raven on his shoulder quickly grew larger, lying on the ground waiting for Karl to sit up.
"Caw~"
Alabasta is worthy of being a superpower in the first half of the Grand Line. Its land area far exceeds other islands. Karl had to fly for a long time riding the Raven, and had to endure the wind and sun.
The most critical point is that the temperature is too high. Although the Raven is not afraid of heat, it doesn't like flying at such a high temperature.
"Caw ah!"
"Stop calling, I'll let you drink enough when we get to the place. Really, why do you have to eat and drink as soon as you transform?"
"Caw caw caw!!!" The Raven's call attracted Karl's attention. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully. A black shadow actually appeared in front, rushing toward them rapidly.
It seems... like a bird?
"Stop, he's coming for us."
"Caw?" The Raven's meaning was probably why not fight him, but Karl had already recognized who this was. He should have no malice.
The Raven took Karl and landed in the barren desert. The giant falcon circling in the sky also landed on the ground.
"Who are you?"
The man speaking wore an Arab-style headscarf, his eye sockets were painted with dark purple four-pointed star makeup, he was tall, wore a white robe, and there were many black four-pointed patterns on the robe and headscarf.
Karl touched his face, thinking he was wearing a headscarf, so Pell didn't recognize him. Well, he wasn't wearing one, and he wasn't even wearing a Justice cloak. He was wearing a white suit.
"You really don't recognize me... forget it, I am Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Karl. I came to Alabasta this time to talk to King Cobra."
Pell gasped. He just said how familiar he looked! It turned out to be that Navy Hero, and he actually came to their country. Was he here to help them quell the rebellion?
"Very sorry, I didn't recognize you for a moment. I am the adjutant of the Alabasta Kingdom Guard - Pell. If you want to find His Majesty the King, please follow me!"
"Hahahaha, it's okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way. Raven, just follow him later."
"Caw!"
The Raven looked at Pell provocatively, as if preparing to compete with him in speed later, but under Karl's nuclear-friendly gaze, it finally gave up this idea.
"It's really magical! Can it understand you?"
"It's the same as you, both are Devil Fruit users, and plus we have been together for many years, this tacit understanding is still there, don't you think?"
The Raven cawed, turned its head and rubbed Karl's palm, expressing its respect for Karl. Pell was a bit moved when he saw this, but didn't say anything. He turned into a huge falcon, flew into the sky, and led the way for Karl.
Pell flew in front like this, looking back at this Navy Hero from time to time.
Karl sat motionless on the Raven, smiling, the desert wind and sand didn't seem to have any effect on him, and the whole person exuded a kind of confident temperament.
"Truly worthy of being a Navy Hero!" Pell thought in his heart.
Not long after, Karl arrived at Alubarna, the imperial city of Alabasta, under Pell's guidance.
"Vice Admiral Karl, this is the palace. I will immediately go to notify His Majesty Cobra. Please wait here for a moment."
Karl nodded: "It's okay, go ahead!"
Inside the palace, Cobra, who was overwhelmed by the Dance Powder incident, paced back and forth in the room, and then Pell's voice came from behind.
"His Majesty Cobra!"
Cobra was startled by this shout because he was too focused, but after seeing it was Pell, a look of doubt appeared on his face: "Pell? Why are you back so soon?"
"His Majesty Cobra, just when I was patrolling outside, I accidentally met Navy Hero Karl. He said he was looking for you, so I brought him here. Now he is waiting for you outside."
Cobra opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "Navy Hero, Karl? Why would he come to Alabasta? Is he here to help us..."
Pell said helplessly: "I thought so too at first, but thinking carefully, the Navy will not interfere in the internal affairs of member countries. So, His Majesty Cobra, he should have other things to find you."
Cobra also reacted immediately. He was also sick and went to the doctor.
"Quick, quick, invite Vice Admiral Karl over!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
In the corner, a young blue-haired girl hid on the side, a look of joy appearing on her pretty face.
"Hello King Cobra, I am Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Karl, it is an honor to meet you."
"Vice Admiral Karl is too polite. You are the Navy Hero who shakes the sea! It is my honor to meet you. Come, come, come, don't be polite, please sit."
Karl smiled slightly: "^_^, then I won't be polite."
"Oh my, Vice Admiral Karl is indeed as the newspaper says, handsome and dashing, really making us feel inferior!"
"Hahahaha, King Cobra, you say that and I'm embarrassed."
Cobra laughed and quickly reached the main topic: "I just heard Pell say that you came to find me specifically. I don't know what it is that requires you, the Navy Hero, to run a trip yourself?"
Karl's mouth curled up slightly, turned his head to look at the man who looked like a woman, and then looked at Pell. Cobra understood instantly.
"Cough cough, that Igaram, Pell, you guys go out first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Only Cobra and Karl were left in the room. Karl was just about to speak, but his eyes suddenly looked at the corner. Tsk tsk, it seems a warm-hearted little guy has come!
Karl didn't make a sound, watching Cobra tell the story: "I don't know if King Cobra knows about the Mary Geoise attack incident a year ago?"
"Hmm?" Cobra frowned: "This... naturally I know. I heard that Mary Geoise suffered heavy losses, causing this year's Reverie to be unable to be held."
"Why, is the matter you want to talk to me about related to the destruction of Mary Geoise?"
