Chapter 313 The Feeling of Peace of Mind
"Is that guy really Crocodile?"
Under the arrangement of King Cobra, Ian, who lived in a luxurious room, groped his chin, recalling Crocodile's actions when he was just at the gate of the palace, and murmured.
And the next moment, at the window that Yan deliberately opened, a gust of night wind blew in, turned into the appearance of Drago, and spoke.
"Chief of Staff, you are amazing. I didn't expect you to hook up with Princess Weiwei so soon."
"It's...not bad."
Yan waved his hand and asked immediately. "Dorag, do you feel that there seems to be something wrong with that Crocodile?"
"Judging from the appearance, I compared it carefully, and it is indeed exactly the same as the reward order." Drago thought for a while and replied.
Obviously, similar to Yan's thoughts, Drago, who was watching secretly, also noticed the problem.
"Appearance?"
Yann recalled it carefully, and said. "The biggest possibility may be the ability to imitate fruit."
Drago tried hard to recall the contents of the devil fruit illustrated book, and replied. "The kind of imitation fruit that can perfectly imitate the appearance of others?"
"Well, if this is the case, it can fully explain why Crocodile appeared in the palace at the same time as Princess Vivi and I were attacked by sand waves to talk to King Cobra."
After a pause, Ian continued.
"In other words, Crocodile deliberately used the ability to 'imitate fruit' to prove his innocence. No wonder he did not hesitate to expose his devil fruit in order to fight for Princess Vivi."
"Understood that even if I, an outsider to King Cobra, and the young Princess Vivi guessed his identity, King Cobra would not believe it, so why are you so confident?"
Of course, in this situation, Ian also understands that it is meaningless to tell the Alabasta royal family his guess.
The abilities of the devil fruit are all kinds of strange things. In addition to the possibility of imitating the fruit and the appearance of Crocodile, there are also other devil fruit abilities that can manipulate sand.
Therefore, under the preconceived notion,
King Cobra had no reason to trust Ion.
It's just that Ian understood Crocodile's greatest intention in the Alabasta Kingdom in the memory of his previous life: to steal the Alabasta Kingdom and secretly plan the ancient weapon that may exist in the Alabasta Kingdom. .
In addition, Yan knew that Mr. 1 was Crocodile's most valued subordinate, so it must be Crocodile who attacked Yan and Princess Vivi.
"Chief of Staff, now that you have initially gained Princess Weiwei's trust, what should you do next?" Drago asked beside him.
Yan continued according to his original excuse of fooling Drago.
"Secretly investigating the whereabouts of the historical text is the top priority, and the rest is to gain the trust of the Alabasta royal family as much as possible, so as to lay a good foundation for the official contact between the revolutionary army and the Alabasta Kingdom in the future."
After a pause, Ian continued.
"However, in order to avoid revealing my identity and causing unnecessary suspicion, I cannot use my own abilities at all. Next, I can only trouble you, Dorag, to cooperate with the so-called 'Wind Sword Dao' in disguise."
"no problem."
Drago nodded and spoke without any pressure.
As a matter of fact, although the "Wind Fruit" was developed by Drago to be extremely violent when used in battle, in fact, as the ubiquitous wind in nature, Drago's latent ability is extremely powerful , it is extremely difficult to distinguish when it maintains "elementalization", and its concealment is extremely high.
In this regard, Drago has a natural advantage over those "magma fruit", "frozen fruit", "sparkling fruit" and the like.
...
While Yann was talking with Drago, King Cobra was also listening to Princess Vivi recounting the incident in detail.
"Really? It's really hard for you, Weiwei, to let you go through such an unpleasant attack." King Cobra said with some heartache.
Princess Weiwei shook her head, her immature face showed some firmness and said. "Father, don't worry. As the heir to the Kingdom of Alabasta, I have already made up my mind."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
King Cobra couldn't help laughing heartily when he saw this, his heart was full of relief.
After all, King Cobra has only one descendant, Princess Vivi. In the future, whether it is the succession to the throne of Alabasta or the continuation of the Naferutali clan, they can only rely on Princess Vivi.
Therefore, Princess Vivi's awakening undoubtedly pleased King Cobra.
Seeing this, Princess Weiwei took the opportunity to speak.
"Father, this time I was able to survive the disaster thanks to the help of His Excellency Yasuo, and His Excellency Yasuo's Yufeng Sword is very powerful, I want to worship him as a teacher, can you?"
"Is it Yufeng Sword?"
Cobra stroked his mustache, and said with some embarrassment.
"Vivi, it's not that I don't believe your judgment, it's just that the timing of Lord Yasuo's appearance is too coincidental, and he is wearing a mask, which is really suspicious."
"Father, the ability to attack me is really manipulating the sand, it's definitely the pirate Crocodile." Princess Weiwei said a little indignantly.
"Vivi, you can't doubt Mr. Crocodile like this..."
After a pause, King Cobra didn't mean to hide anything, and spoke.
"Crocodile's late-night visit this time is in the hope that I can recommend him to the World Government for the privileged title of 'King's Qiwuhai'."
"In contrast, Mr. Crocodile will protect the kingdom's coastline from being frequently infested by pirates as the 'King Shichibukai'."
"And when Bell noticed the big commotion in the capital, Mr. Crocodile was sitting in front of me. How could he attack you? And he has absolutely no reason to attack you."
When Princess Weiwei heard this, her expression was not only a little bit annoyed, but also she couldn't help doubting herself.
Could it be... really not Crocodile?
Seeing this, Cobra went on to say. "Weiwei, I know quite a few schools of swordsmanship in this sea, but I have never heard of the name Yufeng Swordsmanship, and I have never heard of the name Yasuo."
At the end, Princess Weiwei acted like a baby and said.
"Father, I don't care, I just believe in His Excellency Yasuo, the feeling of peace of mind staying by his side cannot be faked, just like staying with mother's peace of mind."
