Pirate's Strongest Relationship

Chapter 56 The Deal with Cobra

"It's delicious!" Cobra mumbled with his mouth full of food.

Ricardo looked at Cobra who was wolfing down before him, feeling speechless in his heart!
"Eat slowly, enough!" Ricardo said softly, for fear that Cobra would choke himself to death and disrupt the subsequent plan.

"I said, with your abilities, what kind of pirates are you! Why don't you come to me to be a guard or a cook or something? Just ask for a salary. It's not much better than being a pirate and basking in the wind and sun at sea!"

Cobra spoke while scratching the rice in the bowl.

"After these few days, if you are still the king of Alabasta, you can say this again!" Ricardo responded.

"What do you mean by that?" Cobra stopped and asked in surprise.

"It's not surprising, there should be hundreds of thousands of rebels gathered now, and they are attacking the capital Albana!" Ricardo explained.

"How could this happen?!" Cobra looked at Ricardo in a daze, and the rice grains fell out of his mouth.

"Actually, all of this is a conspiracy by the king Shichibukai and Crocodile. He used dancing powder near Albana to arouse dissatisfaction with the royal family in other places."

"Then they instigated various places to form rebel armies and provided them with weapons. The purpose was to make them rebel and let them attack Albana!"

Ricardo briefly told Cobra about Crocodile's plan.

"It's Crocodile! That bastard! I didn't discover his wolfish ambition earlier! Why did he do this? Also, why did he arrest me and Weiwei?"

Cobra beat the wall with his hands angrily, venting his inner anger.

"Captain! Something new!"

At this time, Lafitte came in from outside the cave.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Ricardo asked.

"Captain, the rebels are here, and they have reached the gate of Albana!" Lafitte said after glancing at Cobra.

"What? Quick! Let me out! I'm going to stop them at the gate of the city! The people of Alabasta should not be wasted in unnecessary wars!"

After hearing Lafitte's report, Cobra couldn't hold back any longer, and desperately wanted to run outside, but was stopped by Ricardo.

"It's too late for King Cobra, and, on your own, how can you stop hundreds of thousands of rebels? No one can do it!"

While stopping Cobra, Ricardo said to Cobra.

"They are not rebels! They are also my people! I will explain to them! Let them know that this is the conspiracy of that bastard Crocodile!"

With tears in his eyes, Cobra choked up loudly.

"Useless Cobra, your voice is too small, not many people can hear it! Moreover, in their hearts, you are a complete tyrant!"

"Once you appear in front of them, I'm afraid they won't give you a chance to speak at all! You should understand that once the fire of war is ignited, it cannot be extinguished by just one or two people!"

Ricardo told Cobra the reality without mercy.Seeing Cobra slowly knelt down beside him, Ricardo couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable.

"That's right! I can go to Crocodile! Isn't he doing this for Alabasta! I can give him the throne!"

Cobra spoke slowly, his eyes full of determination.

"Give the throne to someone like Crocodile, do you think Alabasta has a future? And, as far as I know, Crocodile is not after your throne, King Cobra."

Ricardo pulled Cobra up from the ground and said to him.

"Then what does he want? I can give it to him! As long as he spares Alabasta and my people!" Cobra said.

"What he wants is the historical text kept by your Naferutali royal family. To be precise, it is the ancient weapon recorded in the historical text—Pluto!"

Ricardo looked at Cobra in front of him, said slowly, and also solved the biggest doubt in Cobra's heart.

"You... how do you know this? How did Crocodile know?"

Cobra asked in shock after hearing what Ricardo said.

"I don't know how Crocodile knew about the historical text and Pluto. As for me, I learned it from him!"

Ricardo blamed Crocodile without hesitation. Anyway, the reason why he knew the history text and the news of Pluto was because he had heard Crocodile say it in the animation in his previous life, so he was not wronged.

After a while of silence, Cobra patted the dirt on his body, straightened up, looked directly at Ricardo, and said calmly, "What do you want?"

Ricardo looked at Cobra whose demeanor suddenly changed before him, and also showed a smile.

"Sure enough, King Cobra is such a good actor, he almost deceived me! I kept thinking, how can a king who holds a 60 standing army and governs a huge Alabasta tightly Behaving so badly."

"I have some doubts now. The Naferutali family is one of the 800 royal families who founded the world government [-] years ago, but they did not follow them to live in the Holy Land, but ruled the Kingdom of Alabasta for generations. Is it a big game of chess? Already!"

Ricardo clapped his hands and said to Cobra in front of him.

"You really know a lot! Tell me your conditions! Since you have worked so hard to snatch me from Crocodile, and you have told me so much here, it must be Any plans?"

"I only have two requests. First, we must ensure the safety of my daughter Naferutali Weiwei! Second, end the war as soon as possible and reduce civilian sacrifices! As long as these two points can be achieved, the conditions you want .”

Cobra looked at Ricardo and expressed his request.

"King Cobra, don't get me wrong, we really don't have any malice towards Alabasta, I just want to make a deal with you, the king!"

"We can help you defeat Crocodile and end his plan, but we hope you can promise me three things!"

Ricardo raised three fingers and said to Cobra.

"Say it, as long as it won't harm my family and my people, I can agree to whatever you ask!" Cobra nodded in agreement.

"First, I hope you will truthfully report the matter to the government after the incident is over, and deprive Crocodile of the title of Qibuhai, and let me inherit it!"

"Second, I hope you can use your identity and power to help me find out something among the world government, especially the Tianlong people!"

"Third, I hope that one day in the future, you can..."
