Ch-74: Civil unrest stopped by heavy rain!

"It's raining, it's raining!"

"Oh my God, after three years, it finally rained."

"Husband, get the bucket out quickly, we need to catch more rainwater."

"Yes, yes, catch more rainwater."

The long-awaited heavy rain fell from the sky and dripped on the dry land, nourishing the land of Arabasta.

People did not feel sad or avoid the rain. Instead, they walked out of their homes and bathed in the rain.

It was as if the rain could bring them peace.

Many devout believers regarded this as a gift from God.

'What's going on? Why did it rain so heavily suddenly?!'

'My people should use a lot of dancing powder in the capital of Arabasta.'

'It shouldn't be possible to rain in other places.'

Looking at this huge dark cloud, Crocodile had no doubt that the entire Arabasta was now shrouded in rain.

'Is it the rain that the beam of light just brought?'

At this moment, Crocodile's face was extremely gloomy.

He knew that maybe because of this rain, his plans for many years would be forced to stall.

Crocodile turned around and walked to his office.

He wants to contact the agents of Baroque Works to investigate this matter.

Where the rebels were stationed, at this moment, all the rebels were staring blankly at the sky.

They didn't even notice that the fire for living and cooking was extinguished.

'Why, will it rain?'

'This is obviously not Alubarna, where the royal city is located. How can it rain here?'

The leader of the rebel army, Koza, looked surprised.

In his understanding, King Kobra used dancing powder in the royal city, so it should only rain near the royal city.

It is precisely because of this that Koza became the leader of the rebel army and led everyone to resist Cobra.

"Hey, Koza, what should we do now?"

"This rain seems to have covered a large area."

"Do we really want to attack Albana now?"

Koza's cronies walked up to Koza. Although he asked so, Koza could see a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"Let's halt our march to Alubarna for now," Koza decided, shaking his head. "Although this rain came suddenly, perhaps it's a divine intervention to prevent civil unrest in Arabasta."

On the other side, in the capital city Alubarna, King Cobra, concerned about internal and external troubles in the Kingdom of Arabasta, was abruptly awakened by a forceful knock on the door.

Opening it, Cobra found his closest Kingdom Guard adjutant, Pell, looking at him with surprise.

"What's wrong, Pell? This isn't like you, usually so flustered."

"Your Majesty the King, it's raining. It's raining outside."

"Raining again?" Cobra frowned, displeased by the rain. If it only rained in Albana, it would further fuel the people's misconceptions.

"Your Majesty the King, it's not just raining in Albana. I confirmed that the entire country of Arabasta has been covered by heavy rain," Pell exclaimed.

"What?! Are you telling the truth?" Cobra raised his hand, placing it on Pell's shoulder, looking extremely excited.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King." Pell nodded. "That's great, Your Majesty the King. Now, the civil strife in the country may be resolved peacefully."

After hearing Pell's words, Cobra rushed towards the balcony outside the palace.

Soon, the sky covered with dark clouds came into view.

"It's raining suddenly. Is this a sign of civil strife in Arabasta that even God can't bear to see?"

Pell followed Cobra, and after a brief hesitation, he said:

"Your Majesty the King, maybe this is the rain caused by Li Fan that Princess Vivi mentioned earlier?"

"Didn't Her Majesty the Princess mention on the phone that Director Li Fan claims to have the ability to make rain?"

"And not long ago, Princess Vivi said they would be arriving in Arabasta soon."

"Don't you think, Your Majesty the King, that this timing is a coincidence?"

Pell's words instantly awakened Cobra, prompting him to hurry to his room.

Now, he couldn't wait to contact Weiwei to confirm Bell's words.

.....

"It's raining..." At the coast, Weiwei stretched out her hand and felt the falling raindrops. At this moment, she looked up at the sky, and water droplets fell from her face—unclear whether they were tears or rain.

"Li Fan!" Vivi turned around and tightly hugged Li Fan, expressing her gratitude. "Thank you, thank you so much. I really don't know how I can repay your kindness."

Hugging each other tightly, Li Fan sensed Vivi's proud figure. However, before he could have any other thoughts, Ainz Ooal Gown's passive skill forced calmness over Li Fan.

"This is what I promised you, Vivi and I'm not helping you for free. I also have my own purpose." Li Fan patted Vivi's back, creating a protective shield with magic to block the rain on everyone's heads and dry their clothes. "Let's go. We still have things to do. Meeting your father sooner will help resolve this matter sooner, right?"

Hearing this, Vivi nodded firmly.

"Li Fan, you really look like a monster now," Zoro remarked, observing Li Fan's skeleton body. "Could you be the King of Death originally, and your normal body is just a cover?"

"Whether it's the King of Death or a human being, to me now, I'm just a person who wants to make a movie." Li Fan released his embrace on Vivi and walked towards the ship.

Raising his right hand, a dark brown crack appeared out of thin air, swallowing the ship into it.

"The boat has been swallowed!" Nami exclaimed. "Hey, Li Fan, my Berry is still in my room. Give it back to me."

"Don't worry, Nami. I just put the ship into my space," Li Fan reassured. "After all, it's not good to leave the ship here, isn't it?"

Nami nodded in agreement. "Indeed, as you said, if we leave the ship here, there might be pirates or something who would take away the treasure."

As they were discussing, a sharp roar interrupted them. In front of Li Fan and the others, a pirate wearing a captain's hat brandished a knife, backed by a dozen ferocious pirates.
