I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

"Thank you." After taking a deep drag and closing his eyes to savor the moment, Old Sha finally spoke.

“As a reward for defeating me, I’ll give you a secret,” Old Sha said calmly.

He is in a very bad state right now.

Half of his body was burned away, exposing his internal organs, which were also burning fiercely. All the hair on his body had disappeared, leaving him bald.

"Do you know about ancient weapons? A history covered up by the World Government."

Dick nodded.

"The ancient weapon Pluton is in Alabasta. Nico Robin can help you find Pluton, but be careful of her."

Dick remained silent.

Unfortunately, Hades is not actually in Alabasta.

Old Sha has been busy for more than ten years, but in fact, he has been doing all the work in vain.

"By the way, if you have the chance, please give my regards to Whitebeard."

The sand crocodile looked up into the distance.

In a daze, I seemed to see a reflection of my past self.

That year, he was full of vigor and high spirits, heading towards the sea with boundless aspirations, and making rapid progress all the way.

Unfortunately, all of that is in the past. Challenging someone became a watershed moment.

The sand crocodile died.

Chapter 75 Nico Robin, You've Disappointed Me Too Much (12,000 words, please subscribe)

75.

Inside the palace, Vivi paced anxiously back and forth.

In front of outsiders, she had to remain calm; only when facing others alone could Weiwei reveal her inner unease.

"Father, you must be alright," Vivi prayed in her heart.

With all your heart and soul, pray continuously.

She would give anything, everything, for Cobra's safety, except Alabasta.

“Mr. Dick, Miss Kuina, Mr. Zoro… can you do it?” Vivi’s mind was filled with Dick’s confident face once again.

But to be honest, Vivi lacked confidence.

After all, he is one of the famous Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"I hope you won't let me down," Weiwei murmured to herself.

If there is still no news after three days, she will contact the Navy and the World Government.

"Your Majesty, King Cobra has returned. He has returned safely."

Weiwei looked up, strode to the outside of the hall, and looked at the familiar figure, seemingly unable to believe it.

“Vivi,” Cobra trembled with excitement.

"Father, what happened on my eighth birthday?" Vivi asked, suppressing her emotions.

"..." Cobra was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Ah, back then..."

Now there was no more doubt.

Vivi threw herself into Cobra's arms, tears streaming down her face. Cobra was also overcome with emotion, tears streaming down his face.

He really thought they would be separated forever.

It seems like some kind of switch has been turned on.

Ikaram, Bel of the Falcon, Jakka of the Jackal, and others burst into tears one after another, and the entire corridor was filled with sobs as tears streamed down their faces.

Next came the usual banquet, personally attended by Vivi and Cobra.

After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, the banquet came to an end.

Dick sought out Cobra to inquire about the Poneglyphs.

Under Cobra's complicated gaze, both sides agreed to meet again in two days at the underground burial temple in Albana.

At night, Weiwei stood quietly on the terrace, gazing at the vast starry sky. The bright moonlight fell like flowing water, as if gently spreading a silver ribbon across the sky.

The moonlight bathed her, like a dreamlike veil, bringing her an indescribable tranquility and peace.

Thinking about the series of recent events, and also about Dick's help.

Weiwei's gaze was firm.

Find Cobra and speak directly.

In short, Kobra was completely stunned and questioned his existence.

“I intend to be engaged to Mr. Dick in the name of the Queen of Alabasta.”

Cobra collapsed to the ground with a thud. His hands were shaking as if he had Parkinson's.

No, was he just hallucinating?

Weiwei is only a few years old.

"Vivi, what did you just say?" Kobra's voice trembled.

“I said I was going to get engaged to Mr. Dick,” Vivi said again, her tone firm.

"I object."

“I strongly oppose this marriage,” Cobra said fiercely. “Vivi, I know you are doing this out of gratitude to Mr. Dick, but, but gratitude cannot be replaced by love.”

"Weiwei, you have the right to pursue your own love and live a happy and fulfilling life. I will never allow you to wrong yourself."

As Cobra spoke, he became increasingly disgusted with Dick.

He had already figured it out; Dick must have used saving himself as leverage to force Vivi to agree to the marriage.

That's really despicable.

Why didn't I just die back then?

If she dies, Vivi won't be threatened anymore.

“Father, I have thought it through very carefully. Mr. Dick is the one I have been waiting for, and I believe he will bring me happiness,” Vivi said calmly.

"Did he force you?"

"No, on the contrary, he didn't ask for any reward; he's a man of high moral character."

“As the Queen of Alabasta, my marriage has never been my own decision; I am responsible to Alabasta.” With that, Vivi relayed the same words that Foncrae had used to persuade her to Cobra.

Although Foncray had ulterior motives, what he said actually made a lot of sense.

Kobra was completely dumbfounded.

It turns out that this can still be the case?

“No, I object, I object,” Cobra shook his head like a rattle-drum.

He doesn't care; he's just against it.

Vivi's happiness is the most important thing.

"I am the Queen, and no objection shall prevail."

“I am your father, I have the right to object.”

"I am the Queen, you must listen to me."

Cobra: ...

Two days later, when Cobra saw Dick again, he grumbled and didn't give Dick a friendly look.

He sees everyone as if they owe him money.

"Did you offend him?" Sabo asked.

"No, it's probably menopause."

Kobra clenched his fists.

Don't think he didn't hear me. Damn it, I really want to beat Dick up, but I can't beat him.

Moreover, the fact that he was saved left Cobra with no confidence to refute Dick.

The crypt in Albana is an ancient site in Alabasta, containing a historical inscription stele.

The text records the history of taboos.

This historical text is extremely valuable because it records the location of the ancient weapon Hades.

Dick stroked his chin, looked at the Poneglyphs, then at Nico Robin, and his plan grew even stronger.
