Monkey King in Pirate

Chapter 55 Overnight
While thinking, time passed quickly, and when Sun Xu came back to his senses, he had already arrived in Albana.

It was already night, and the bright stars filled the sky, complementing the lights in the city of Albana.

Under the starlight and above the lights, Sun Xu strolled over, and soon arrived above the palace.

Without hesitation, he landed directly.

Because of the darkness, no one noticed him.

He was walking in the palace openly, although there were maids and guards who cast doubtful eyes from time to time, but no one stepped forward to ask.

until……

"Who are you? Why are you in the palace?" Gaka looked ahead warily.

By the moonlight, he could see the other person's face clearly,

That is not a person in the palace at all!

And he is very clear that there are no guests in the palace today!
Just as Sun Xu was about to explain, another voice sounded from the side.

"Gaka, what's wrong?"

Accompanied by the voice, a man with a long sword on his waist and a white robe with star patterns on it came out.

When he saw Sun Xu, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Jiaka said in a deep voice: "Bell, there is a man who sneaked into the palace here. He is sneaky. He may be sent by the enemy!"

Sun Xu rolled his eyes: "Which eye of yours saw me sneaking around? I obviously came here aboveboard!"

Jaca frowned, he didn't expect the suspicious elements to be so arrogant.

Just as he was about to say something more, Bell quickly stopped him: "Gaka, he is not an enemy!"

"Not the enemy?"

"That's right! He was the one who passed on the information to us a few days ago!"

"what?"

Jiaka was taken aback, put down his guard, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Sun Xu waved his hand and looked at Bell: "Where is King Cobra? Have you found evidence that Crocodile is behind the scenes?"

"Your Majesty is eating." Bell motioned him to follow, and then stepped forward: "We found many traces of the activities of the Baroque Works, but we did not find any evidence that Crocodile was related to the Baroque Works."

There was a bit of helplessness in his voice.

The main reason is that the current situation in Alabasta is chaotic, and the power of the royal palace has been greatly weakened, which has added a lot of difficulties to their investigation.

This is why they haven't done anything to Crocodile yet.

Sun Xu is not Weiwei, without conclusive evidence, Cobra will not fully trust him.

"It's not surprising." Sun Xu said indifferently: "Crocodile is very cautious. Even in Baroque Works, there are very few people who know his identity."

With Crocodile's actions, once exposed, it is likely that Shichibukai will be deprived of his position.

Although he doesn't really care about Shichibukai's identity, but before successfully capturing Alabasta, this identity cannot be lost!

While talking, the three of them came to the dining place in the palace.

In fact, they were not far from here.

As palace guards, at least one of Jaca and Bell would stay near the king.

Seeing Sun Xu, Cobra also showed some surprise and invited him to the table for dinner.

Sun Xu did not refuse.

The cooking skills of the palace chef are still good, although not as good as Sanji, but still top-notch.

After eating and drinking, everyone moved to the study.

Cobra asked the maids and guards to retreat, and only he, Sun Xu, Bell, and Jaca were left in the room.

"Thank you for your information, otherwise we might still be kept in the dark." Cobra said sincerely, without putting on the king's airs at all.

Although it is not certain that Crocodile is behind the scenes, at least they have pointed out the direction, and it seems likely to be the right direction now.

"It's nothing more than a little effort." Sun Xu waved his hand indifferently, and made his own request: "Your Majesty, I want to stay in the palace for a few days. Is it convenient?"

"Of course no problem." Cobra agreed straightforwardly, but then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Seeing his troubled look, Sun Xu took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

A look of shame flashed across Cobra's face: "I want to know, where is the person who can defeat Crocodile that your Excellency mentioned before?"

As a kind and benevolent king, if it is his own difficulty, he will definitely not trouble others.

But now it's disaster for the whole kingdom.

If Crocodile were to be fought, many soldiers would die.

This made him unbearable.

Therefore, even though it was against his heart, he still had the cheek to try to find someone to help.

"You said this." Sun Xu suddenly said, "They are with Weiwei, they should be here soon."

It has been nearly ten days since the two parties separated.

According to his speculation, Luffy and the others should also arrive in Alabasta, maybe within a day or two.

Cobra took a deep breath: "If I want to ask them to help fight Crocodile, what kind of reward will I have to pay?"

In his eyes, Sun Xu is a very mysterious person.

Since he said that someone can defeat Crocodile, the credibility is relatively high.

Sun Xu touched his chin: "Remuneration? Prepare a table of good wine and meat."

"..."

He stared wide-eyed for two seconds.

Cobra asked in surprise, "And then?"

Sun Xu thought for a while, and then said: "Prepare a little more food, there is a big eater inside."

"Just... that's it?" Cobra couldn't believe it, what kind of compensation is wine and meat, is this a joke with him?
"They are partners of justice. They are born to be at odds with evil guys like Crocodile. They don't need to be paid, just eat." Sun Xu said indifferently.

Cobra's face was still full of disbelief, and he even began to suspect that Sun Xu was teasing them.

"Perhaps there is no one who can deal with Crocodile at all? After all, it's Shichibukai!" The more he thought about it, the more biased he became: "Maybe it's just a hint that you can't make up a lie and you're too embarrassed to admit it? "

Looking at Cobra's expression, Sun Xu could probably guess what he was thinking, and rolled his eyes: "Okay, prepare some more money, the specific amount, and then you can discuss it with Weiwei and those people."

Hearing asking for money, Cobra felt a little relieved.

This is normal!
However, he still lowered his expectations a bit.

After Sun Xu left, Cobra told Bell and Jaca: "Be prepared, once you find evidence that Crocodile is the mastermind behind the scenes, attack him immediately!"

"Yes!" Bell and Gaca responded at the same time.

After hesitating for a while, Jiaka still raised his own question: "Your Majesty, can that person really be trusted? Could it be that he is..."

Cobra waved his hand, eyes deep: "Probably not, we have already investigated, he only appeared in Alabasta for the first time eight days ago."

After a pause, he changed the topic: "Of course, we can't trust him, we have to be careful, after all, his purpose..."

Cobra's voice was getting smaller and smaller, and Bell and Jaca didn't hear the last words.
