Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

As soon as King Kobra finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.

Whether it was the people in the square or the ministers standing behind the king, they all opened their mouths and looked at the king in surprise.

"Your Majesty the King! Please think again!"

The guard captain Ikarem said hurriedly, "Brother Cheng Cheng, although we saved the country this time, the people of Alabasta cannot do without you!"

"Please think again, king!" Bell, the adjutant of the escort team, and other ministers around him all knelt down and shouted in unison.

Only Weiwei looked calm and her smile remained unchanged, as if she knew the decision in advance.

But Kobra's eyes were firm, not allowing any of them to question, "No need to think about it, I have already made this decision."

Cheng Cheng looked at King Kobra with his mouth wide open in surprise.

Do you want to be so real?

Originally, he thought that the king would give him some reward at most, but he never expected that the king actually wanted to give him the entire Alabasta.

But how could he be a king?

He can kill people with a sword, but he knows nothing about handling government affairs and running the country.

Cheng Cheng immediately shook his head firmly and said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. The position of king is occupied by the virtuous. Your virtue is seen by the people of Alabasta. No one is more suitable to be the king of this country than you." .”

"I am a lazy person by nature. I am just a little better at fighting than ordinary people. If it comes to governing the country, I will definitely not be able to do it well."

Luffy and Zoro both smiled knowingly, completely expecting Cheng Cheng's decision.

"Um..."

King Kobra looked thoughtful, hesitated for a while and said: "Since my benefactor is so determined, I will not continue to insist."

"But apart from that, there is one more thing. I must ask my benefactor to agree! If my benefactor does not agree, I will live with guilt for the rest of my life."

Cheng Cheng took a deep look at Kobra and said slowly: "As long as it is within my ability, I am obligated."

Cobra took a step back with a solemn look, bowed and saluted Cheng Cheng, and said in a deep voice: "Please benefactor to serve as the national counselor of Alabasta. The benefactor has the power to supervise the country and regent in Alabasta!"

Cheng Cheng immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, cursing the old fox in his heart.

This guy might have been waiting for me here from the beginning, but he was sincere.

But I really want to establish a foothold in this country in the future, because it seems that the fantasy beast spirit tree can only be planted in the desert environment.

"It's just the power of supervising the regent of the country. It's acceptable to have a false name."

Cheng Cheng thought for a moment and said softly, "But, I still have to ask for something from His Majesty the King."

The king was instantly overjoyed and laughed heartily and said: "Master, please speak."

"Krokdal's previous base camp was the country's largest casino, Yuyan..." Cheng Cheng pondered.

But before Cheng Cheng could finish speaking, King Kobra waved his hand and said cheerfully: "Master, there is no need to say any more. From now on, the entire rainland will be your private fiefdom. The escort team will also fully obey the orders of the national division."

Cheng Cheng was slightly startled, but his majesty was a very powerful king. It seemed that the king was determined to tie himself to Alabasta.

This rainland, like the Royal City, has not been affected by drought in the past three years. It is Alabasta's dream city. The people living here are either rich or noble. Crocodile runs the largest casino Rain Feast here.

This time, the ministers did not kneel down and beg the king to take back their orders. Instead, they all looked at Cheng Cheng expectantly.

They were all smart people and knew why the king did what he did.

Cheng Cheng is as powerful as a god.

"Then I will be disrespectful." Cheng Cheng also bowed to the king and returned the salute.

King Kobra breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

Luffy asked curiously: "Brother Cheng Cheng, what kind of official is the National Preceptor? Is he big or not?"

"National Master, National Master, that's the king's master, do you think it's big or not?" Usopp looked at Luffy with contempt on his face.

Luffy didn't feel any shame at all, but laughed proudly: "Ah hahaha, then I am not the king's master's younger brother, I am also very powerful, okay!"

"Then I will be the king's master's brother's partner, hahahaha!" Usopp also laughed, and he and Luffy began to dance shoulder to shoulder.

"Two idiots!" Nami yelled angrily, slapping her forehead and quietly stepping back, away from the two of them.

Alabasta's Royal Palace at night.

There was a big banquet in the palace.

Cheng Cheng, Luffy, Nami and others were all sitting at a long table, waiting expectantly for the upcoming feast.

The captain of the escort team, Ikarem, slowly walked over pushing a small cart.

The trolley is piled with various fruits, including watermelon, banana, grapes, cherries, durian...

"I heard that you are very good at eating, so I suggest you eat some fruit to fill your stomach before eating." Ikarem said with a smile.

Nami smiled happily and said, "You are really thoughtful, thank you so much."

Luffy said seriously: "I know."

Then Luffy opened his mouth suddenly, and all the fruits on the cart disappeared in an instant.

"Icarem, I've been hungry for three days. I'm very hungry." Luffy said expressionlessly.

Nami was so angry that she punched Luffy: "Are you doing magic? Can you restrain yourself!"

After seeing this, Ikarem laughed loudly and promised: "Don't worry, I will open my mouth completely today and eat hard!"

Soon, there were many guards pushing carts, and they saw a huge long table filled with big fish and meat.

The escort members and Ikarem in the hall truly saw what it means to be edible, and once again refreshed their understanding of foodies.

Until late at night, everyone fell asleep after eating and drinking.

the next day.

Luffy continued to sleep, and Sanji began to go to the royal city to purchase some food to replenish the supplies needed for the voyage.

Nami borrowed many books on navigation from the king in the library of the palace.

Zoro and Tuanzi actually began to compete in swordsmanship in the square early in the morning.

Between the sword shadows, Tuanzi looked a little embarrassed.

Zoro, on the other hand, was strolling in the courtyard, teaching Tuanzi moves and explaining orthodox kendo offensive and defensive methods.

Cheng Cheng smiled happily after seeing it. His swordsmanship was the same as that of Tuanzi. They both followed the vulgar way of defeating ten masters with one force.

Zoro is different. He has been in the kendo gym since he was a child and has a profound and simple understanding of kendo and sword moves. It is definitely helpful for Tuanzi to hear these orthodox things.

At noon, Cheng Cheng and Weiwei came to the beach to see Luffy and the others off.

Luffy and Nami took the lead on the boat, and Sanji looked back at Vivi every step of the way.

Weiwei lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and said apologetically: "Luffy, I still have the people of my country to take care of, and I can't continue to accompany you. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."

As she said this, Weiwei's eyes were already red, she covered her mouth, and could no longer speak.

Luffy just looked at her lightly, turned around and left, saying coldly: "Let's go!"

Nami, Zoro, and Usopp turned around and boarded the ship without saying a word.

Even Sanji silently put away the anchor after hearing Luffy's words, and the Meili slowly drifted into the distant sea with the wind.

Weiwei watched the Merry ship leave with empty eyes, and Luffy didn't even say goodbye when he left.

She was so weak that her soul seemed to be taken away from her at this moment. Her dreams and her companions seemed to disappear as the Meili moved away.

They must be blaming me...

Sorry, really sorry...

Weiwei slowly squatted down, hugged her head and cried.

Now she has lost the strength to stand up.

Her only friends left her resolutely without looking back.

"Stop crying, look up." Cheng Cheng gently rubbed Weiwei's hair and said.

Weiwei used all her strength to raise her head blankly and look into the distance.

Luffy and the others on board the Merry had their backs to her, raised their right hands and clenched their fists, with a black plus sign on their right arm.

She couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Weiwei recognized this symbol, which was a testament to their friendship.

She regained all her energy in an instant, pursed her lips, smiled, and raised her right arm high, revealing the exact same symbol.

it is more than words.
