Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"I am the deputy captain of the Alabasta Kingdom Guards, Bell." Bell introduced himself as soon as he arrived, and then asked, "Are you a friend from Fish-Man Island?"

The word friend obviously made Princess Otohime and her party very happy. Otohime said: "Hello, Mr. Bell, I am Princess Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom. This is Mr. Jinbei and my son Sharkoshi. I take the liberty of visiting. I don't know Cobb. Is it convenient for your majesty to meet you?"

Jinbei and Sharksei nodded in greeting.

Bell returned the greeting and then said: "His Majesty the King is very happy for your arrival. Because he was worried that you would be impatient, he sent me to greet you first."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Mr. Bell's flying ability was very suitable for doing this kind of thing.

Bell continued: "Nahana is a bit far from the royal capital. Can you please follow me by water to the port of Albana?"

Princess Otohime nodded: "It's up to you."

Bell was invited to board the big ship of the Dragon Palace Kingdom. Under the big ship was a huge eel. It was also the first time for Bell to ride on such a ship pulled by a giant fish. It felt very strange.

"Captain Bell..." The guards on the shore were a little worried. There were fishmen on this boat, and there was also a Shichibukai. What if something happened?

Bell said: "Don't worry, these are friends from Fishman Island. Princess Weiwei has also received a lot of care from them. It's very rude of you to do this."

Only then did the guards realize that what Princess Wei Wei said about the island 10,000 meters under the sea might be true. They all lowered their heads: "I'm very sorry!"

"Everyone doesn't know much about fishmen, and they have some prejudices against the Shichibukai. I apologize for any rudeness." Bell said sincerely, "I will also teach them a lesson slowly in the future, please don't worry about it."

"No, it's nothing. Rather, I was very surprised after seeing you." Princess Otohime said, "And Princess Weiwei, is she okay? Did she really mention us?"

The big ship of the Dragon Palace Kingdom has already moved due to the efforts of the eel. This large deep-sea eel actually didn't seem to feel any discomfort when it reached the surface of the Tamsui River.

It’s just that the scorching sunshine in Alabasta makes it dip its head into the water from time to time.

"The princess is very good. She returned to Alabasta with the Amber Tour Group more than half a month ago and mentioned Fish-Man Island in her speech." Bell said, "It's a coincidence that you are here. The princess and Mr. Zhang Tatsuya happened to be here." They’re all still there.”

Princess Otohime said simply: "No, it's not a coincidence. We came here at this time after we learned that the Kohaku tour group had been staying in Alabasta for a few days."

If two countries that are originally strangers want to establish relations, they always need an opportunity.

The actions of Princess Weiwei, who has been to Fishman Island, and the Amber Tour Group, who are friends with both countries, are the best opportunities.

Bell thought about it for a while and understood the truth, and was slightly moved by Princess Otohime's frankness.

Jinbe tried to strike up a few words, which also made Bell feel that this Shichibukai and Crocodile were indeed not the same person.

Shark Star stood by him upright, looking at the sunshine, deserts, oases, and towns on land. Although he was curious about everything, he still tried hard to maintain the manners he should have as a great prince.

If his younger siblings were here, they would probably have started yelling.

Eel pulled the boat very quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the nearest port in Albana.

Kobra and Ikarem were already waiting nearby, and Jaka was waiting in line behind with a group of ordinary administrative officers and soldiers. Maybe it was because there were too few people and it seemed that they didn't pay enough attention.

Zhang Da also mingled in the welcoming team, but the little girls followed Weiwei to the rainy land and haven't come back yet.

Princess Otohime, Jinbei, Shark Star, and the accompanying fishmen soldiers disembarked. Cobra stepped forward to shake hands and greet them: "It's been a hard journey, welcome to Alabasta."

"It is really rude to come here without permission." Princess Otohime said, "We are here to establish friendship with Alabasta. Please take care of us."

The two talked briefly, and Kobra invited Otohime and others to go to the palace for a detailed discussion, but before setting off, they all turned their attention to Jang Tatsuya.

Zhang Da also felt uncomfortable: "Am I rude in any way?"

Otohime said: "No, I'm just wondering why you didn't say a word today. Is our sudden visit bothering you?"

"No, no." Zhang Daye quickly denied, "It doesn't matter what you say in private, but today is not a formal occasion related to diplomatic relations between your two countries. I don't understand your rules, so it's better to talk less."

Princess Otohime said: "But without you, we would not have the chance to stand together today."

Cobra also said: "Please don't be so formal... I think it's better to be like this. Ikarem should have been responsible for receiving the distinguished guests of the fishmen, but we know too little about the habits of the fishmen, including diet, Regarding travel and other aspects, why don’t we ask you to take the lead and Ikarem as your assistant? What do you think, Her Highness Otohime?”

Otohime agreed: "It would be best to have someone familiar with it help us understand Alabasta."

Zhang Da also thought about it and agreed. Jinbei and Otohime often took them out to play when they were on Fishman Island. It would be nice to use Alabasta's territory to entertain them this time.

This time, Kobra and the others brought not only camels and running ducks, but also carriages and amphibious transport turtles.

Because Zhang Da also considered that there might be mermaids in the team, it would be inconvenient to ride a camel, so he gave a warning.

This is also true. Shark Star took out the bubble coral after landing on the beach, trying to create a bubble to assist in operations like he did on Fish-Man Island, but failed.

Bubbles can only be used in a few special places such as Fishman Island, Shampoo Land, and Mariejoia, but obviously not in Alabasta.

Jinbei chose a running duck that looked stronger. Otohime also had a good impression of these Karu's kind, so he chose one that looked cuter.

Some of the other guards from Ryugu City rode on camels, some on horse-drawn carriages, and a few stayed to guard the ship and look after the eels.

Shark Star was a little embarrassed. He wanted to ride a camel or a running duck, because he felt that among the three leaders of the trip, he was the only one who chose to ride a car because of the fish tail problem, which would be a bit embarrassing.

It was up to Uncle Long at the critical moment. After noticing Shark Star's difficulty, he said a bit exaggeratedly: "Wow, I've wanted to ride in this turtle car for a long time! Does anyone want to come with me?"

After saying that, he winked at Zhang Daye crazily.

Zhang Da also reacted a little slowly, but still said: "I want to try it too, but we have to be responsible for receiving guests. It's not good to occupy a car alone... How about Shark Star come with us?"
