Chapter 335

Cobra's breathing stalled, and he seemed to think of something, but still pretended not to know and said: "That's a pity, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Heh..." Karl smiled lightly. Things had already reached this point, and Cobra still wanted to play dumb. Speechless.

"His Majesty Cobra, your full name is Nefertari Cobra. Do I need to tell you the history of the name Nefertari?"

Cobra frowned: "Do you know everything? No, the Navy couldn't possibly know. Did the World Government tell you?"

"His Majesty Cobra doesn't need to care how I know. In short, the Nefertari family is one of the twenty families that founded the World Government. You and your daughter are descendants of the twenty kings, right?"

Cobra didn't respond, but Vivi, hiding in the corner, covered her mouth in shock. It turned out their family had such a history. Why had her father never told her?

Hearing Vice Admiral Karl say this, could it be that she was also a so-called... World Noble?

After a long time, Cobra sighed heavily.

"Vice Admiral Karl, just say what you want to say! Don't beat around the bush with me."

Karl smiled and put the death list into his arms, saying: "Since that's the case, then I'll be direct."

"The World Government wants you to consider moving into Mary Geoise and becoming a World Noble. But to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I was asked to convey it."

"As for how you consider it, I have no right to interfere. The choice is all in your hands. Whether you agree or not, just give me a reply."

Cobra glanced at Karl, lowered his head and fell into deep thought, but soon, Cobra raised his head and looked at Karl with a firm gaze.

"Then please tell the World Government that the fate of the Nefertari family is to protect Alabasta, so no matter what, I will not move into Mary Geoise and become a World Noble."

Karl nodded without changing his expression: "I understand. Since that's the case, I will truthfully convey His Majesty Cobra's words to the World Government."

Then Karl stood up and said with a smile: "My task is completed. Since that's the case, I won't disturb His Majesty Cobra anymore. I also hope His Majesty Cobra will quell the rebellion soon and bring peace to Alabasta."

Cobra quickly stood up: "Vice Admiral Karl has finally come here, please don't rush to leave, stay and enjoy the banquet together, how about it?"

"No, His Majesty Cobra, my subordinates are still waiting for me at Tamarisque port!"

After speaking, Karl walked outside. Vivi, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, immediately ran to the side, preparing to find a place to stop Karl.

Cobra in the room sighed, looking at the ground with dull eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside the palace, Karl had just walked out when he saw a large yellow duck running over quickly.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Karl!"

Karoo made an emergency brake, stopping right in front of Karl. Vivi on the duck's back jumped down with ease.

"Mr. Karl, I am Vivi, the princess of Alabasta. I have important intelligence to tell you!"

Karl bent down and touched Vivi's soft sky-blue long hair: "You must be Princess Vivi! So cute! What intelligence do you have to tell me?"

The incoming hormones made Vivi's pretty face turn red instantly. Navy Hero, handsome, gentle, and his personality seems good too. If...

Vivi quickly shook her head, threw some strange thoughts behind her, and said seriously: "It's intelligence about the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile."

"Oh? Crocodile? Is he also in Alabasta?"

Vivi nodded forcefully: "Yes, he came very early. After he came, he became some kind of national hero. I have never believed in this man."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because he looks like a bad guy, and I suspect that all the troubles in Alabasta are being stirred up by him in secret. Maybe the Dance Powder incident was led by him!"

Karl smiled lightly: "Princess Vivi, not just you, I also feel that Crocodile staying in Alabasta has other plans. But everything must be based on evidence. If there is no evidence, I have no reason to arrest Crocodile."

"Why? Just because he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Yes and no. It's a good thing you care about the country, but you are still young after all. By the way, how old are you this year? 12? 14?"

Vivi said prettily: "I'm already 14 years old, not a child anymore!"

"Hahahaha, only small pirates would say this. Adults would only say I want it all—cough cough. In short, your most important task now is to grow up quickly and don't let King Cobra worry, that's all."

"Otherwise, no matter how much you say, no one will believe you."

Vivi's mouth pouted, and she suddenly felt deeply touched. She didn't know how many times she had told her father to pay attention to Crocodile, but her father just didn't believe her, making her anxious and angry, with nowhere to vent.

She didn't expect this Navy Hero to be so understanding. He understands me so well, ying ying ying!

"Can I only wait?"

Karl smiled slightly, held Vivi's face, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb: "For now, that's indeed the case."

Vivi looked sad, raised her head and looked at Karl full of expectation: "Mr. Karl, what about you? You are the Navy Hero, you can't just do nothing, right?"

"A country without a hero is pathetic, a country that needs a hero is even more pathetic..."

After saying this, Karl didn't care if Vivi understood or not. After rubbing Karoo's duck head hard to satisfy his little wish, he immediately sat on the Raven and left.

Vivi stood there stunned, constantly recalling the words Karl just said in her mind.

Alabasta has no hero, but it needs a hero. Wouldn't that mean... No! It can't go on like this!!!

Since Alabasta has no hero, then I will become this hero!

Crocodile, I know, it must be you. One day, I will drive you out of Alabasta and bring peace to Alabasta!!!
