Chapter 76: Inside Royal City.
The deaths of the pirates did not attract much attention.
The people of Arabasta were now immersed in the joy brought by the rain.
Looking at the cheerful people on both sides of the street, Vivi and Igaram felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Poluporu, Poruporu——"
Igaram took out the phone bug from his arms and answered the call silently.
"Hello, is this Igaram?" King Cobra's voice sounded on the phone.
"Father!" Vivi said happily.
"Huh? Is this voice Vivi? Vivi, have you arrived safely in Arabasta?"
"Well! Not long ago, we landed. And Dad, did you see this rain?"
"I saw it. To be honest, I feel like I'm in a dream now. Vivi, is this rain brought by the Li Fan you mentioned before?"
"Yes, Dad." Vivi looked at Li Fan's back. "I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Li Fan used his ability to bring rain to this country."
"I understand. This Li Fan is undoubtedly our benefactor. Vivi, find a place to settle down first. I will send someone to pick you up immediately. I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Li Fan in person."
"There's no need to pick us up." Li Fan turned around, came to Vivi's side and said to the phone bug, "I'll come directly to you, Cobra."
"This voice must be His Excellency Li Fan. You said you wanted to come to me, but didn't you just arrive in Arabasta?"
"You don't have to worry about this." As he said that, Li Fan turned to look at an open space. "Teleportation gate."
Along with Li Fan's voice, a strange dark brown space crack appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go, everyone, I have opened the door on the other side of the royal city. As long as we pass through this door, we can go directly."
After saying that, Li Fan walked directly into the portal, followed by Medusa.
The others looked at each other and followed suit.
In the end, only Zoro and Mihawk remained.
"Aren't you going in, Mihawk?" Zoro asked doubtfully, looking at Mihawk who was motionless.
"Let's almost part ways here." Mihawk turned and looked away, "Now Li Fan has not given me a role. In this case, I plan to meet Crocodile."
"Really?" Zoro nodded and stepped into the portal.
After a while, the portal on the ground dissipated.
On the other side, inside the royal city.
The sudden appearance of the portal immediately alerted the surrounding soldiers.
When they saw a skeleton walking out of it, the soldiers became even more alert until they saw Vivi and Igaram.
"Your Majesty Princess, Lord Igaram, what are you..."
The guard captain came closer and looked at the two people with a puzzled expression.
"Don't worry, they are all our guests." Vivi smiled at the soldiers, "Besides, this rain was brought by Mr. Li Fan in front of me."
"What?!" The soldiers were shocked.
Suddenly, they felt that Li Fan's skeletal face was not so scary.
"Go and do your own business. We are going to meet His Majesty the King now." Igaram stepped forward and said.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately dispersed and came to their posts.
However, Li Fan could still feel the eyes on him from time to time.
"Let's go, Li Fan, I'll take you to see your father." After saying that, Vivi took Li Fan's hand with a smile and walked towards the interior of the palace.
After passing through the silent alleyway, when Li Fan and others arrived at the palace hall, Cobra was walking back and forth in the hall. 🐍
Hearing the footsteps, Cobra immediately turned his head.
"Vivi, you're back." Cobra stepped forward excitedly.
"Father, I'm back." Vivi walked over with a smile on her face, raised her hand and pointed at Li Fan, "Father, this is Li Fan."
"Hey." Cobra looked at Li Fan, "Thank you so much, Your Excellency. Your arrival has averted the upcoming crisis in this country."
Although the appearance of Li Fan's skeleton surprised Cobra, it did not affect his gratitude to Li Fan.
Li Fan nodded.
"Presumably, you have already learned about my purpose from Vivi and the others, King Kobra..."
"Of course, regarding your request, I will fully support your request after the rebellion is resolved," Cobra replied, "After that, I will personally go to negotiate with Koza."
"I believe that using this rain as an opportunity, we will be able to reach a consensus."
"Your Majesty the King, this is really too dangerous," Igaram stepped forward and said, "This kind of thing should be left to me as a minister."
"Yes, Father, if something happens to you, it will be a huge blow to the country, so leave it to me to negotiate," Vivi stepped forward, "Koza and I have known each other since childhood."
"If I go there, I will be able to convince Koza."
"Furthermore, after my investigation, the reason why Arabasta is in its current situation is because Crocodile was behind it."
"It's too dangerous for you to go outside alone."
"In this case, I can't let you go," Cobra shook his head firmly, "As a father, how can I let my own daughter do such a thing."
Vivi: "But..."
"Excuse me!" Li Fan said, "Since this incident was caused by Crocodile, wouldn't it be enough to deal with Crocodile first?"
"Your Excellency Li Fan, what do you mean, do you plan to deal with Crocodile?" Cobra looked at Li Fan expectantly.
"Li Fan, wait a minute." Tashigi walked to Li Fan's side, "Li Fan, Crocodile is the one of the Seven Warlord after all."
"Although Princess Vivi and the others said that the civil strife in Arabasta was caused by Crocodile."
"But there is no evidence to prove this."
"Wait, are you trying to say, I'm lying?" Vivi looked at Tashigi with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness Princess, Crocodile is recognized by the World Government as a Shichibukai. If Li Fan attacks him at will, the World Government will also have objections," Tashigi frowned.
"So, if Her Royal Highness cannot produce evidence, I do not want Li Fan to take action against Crocodile."
