How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 221 Kizaru, you’re going too far!

“This is where my daughter Nicole is recuperating.”

"She has suffered from a serious genetic disease since birth and has not appeared in front of the world."

"Not the one you're looking for."

Cobra raised his eyes and looked at Kizaru coldly.

Kizaru was not moved at all. He pushed his glasses on his nose indifferently, and his eyes passed over Cobra and directly looked at Robin lying on the bed.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward was extremely cold.

Gao Wen restrained his breath and stuck to the window, his heart tense at this moment.

Kizaru is the admiral of the navy, and he is the most thoughtful and secretive of the three current admirals.

Cobra's lie was so clumsy that Gawain didn't expect to be able to fool Kizaru.

Now not only Cobra is gambling, Gawain is also gambling.

He was betting on Kizaru's unwillingness to get into trouble and the ambiguous justice that Kizaru had always upheld.

The three current naval commanders each uphold a different vision of justice.

Aokiji is the purest.

When I was young, I also upheld the burning justice.

But this kind of justice requires a firm and flawless banner to support its actions.

But once this flag falls or is stained with filth, Aokiji will begin to waver in his own position and the actions of the navy.

This is also the reason why Aokiji's justice has changed from burning to lazy.

Akainu is just the opposite, he pursues a just outcome.

As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, the sacrifices, disgrace and even the worst side of the process are acceptable to him.

From this point of view, Akainu's justice is most in line with the ideas of the Warring States or the top naval officials.

It’s a pity that Akainu’s actions were too extreme, to the point that even Sengoku couldn’t tolerate it.

Only Kizaru walks between the two and finds the balance that suits him best.

As long as the final result is beneficial, the rules can be ignored to a certain extent by Kizaru, but at the same time a certain humanity is retained.

The most typical example is the riots caused by the landing of the Sabaody Archipelago in the original work during the Worst Age.

Luffy, the leader, even beat up the Celestial Dragons, which could almost be said to have broken the law.

But in the end, Kizaru only captured a few groups of pirates that were not of any concern to him and did not touch any of his main target, the supernovas of the Worst Era.

To know.

Facing a supernova that had not yet fully developed at that stage, as long as Kizaru wanted, even with the intervention of Pluto Rayleigh, the Straw Hat Pirates might be able to escape, but the others would definitely not be able to escape.

you could put it that way.

Among the three current admirals of the navy, Kizaru is the one who has the least respect for the rules of the World Government and the authority of the Celestial Dragons.

Alabasta has just emerged from a crisis. If it is targeted by the World Government again due to Robin's influence, the civilians of this country will have a more difficult time.

From Kizaru's perspective, he would most likely not do such a thing.

For Gao Wen, if he really fell out here, it would mean that he would have to throw away his title of Shichibukai before he even had time to warm up to it, and there would be no shortage of trouble from the navy afterwards.

Not worth the candle.

Besides, even if Kizaru takes force here, Gawain is confident that he can take Robin away.

If Cobra had passed the blame on Gawain as originally planned, considering Alabasta's status, it would not have been affected too much.

Think of this.

Gawain held his breath and looked inside the house.

After a long silence, Kizaru turned to look at Cobra and said expressionlessly:

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

"of course."

Cobra's eyes were firm:
"This is my daughter's ward, please leave!"

"The Navy will not attack the member states of the World Government, or even the 20 countries that made history, just for such a ridiculous reason, right?!"

"Or……"

"You have done too many things like this?!"

The sound fell to the ground.

The Marines present blushed with embarrassment.

The naval officer who had just questioned Cobra couldn't help but step forward and argue:
"The Navy would never do such a thing!"

"Yeah?!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Cobra's voice, and his eyes fell on Kizaru:
"In the towns destroyed by the Demon Slaughter Order over the years, how many people are guilty and how many are innocent?!"

“Or——!”

"Well~"

Kizaru interrupted Cobra and the expression on his face softened at this moment:
"Maybe I made a mistake."

“Lord Borsalino, although the appearance is different from the wanted poster, that face is definitely——!”

The adjutant next to Kizaru couldn't help but argue, but before he could finish his words he was held down by Kizaru.

Kizaru said with a slight warning:
"There are so many people in this world who look alike."

"And if I catch the wrong person, I'll have a headache writing a report or something like that~"

"Na~"

"Princess Nicole?!"

Robin's breath hitched and his heartbeat quickened at this moment.

She knew that her answer might determine whether the admiral in front of her would choose to take action or show leniency.

She tried her best to speak in the calmest tone possible:

"I'm troubled too."

"Yeah?!"

Kizaru responded indifferently.

He did not continue to ask, but turned to look out the window.

Outside the Alabasta Palace, countless civilians spontaneously organized themselves and attacked the defense line built by the Marines again and again.

From Kizaru's perspective, he could even see that many of them had scars on their bodies, but the anger in their eyes was truly from the bottom of their hearts.

"Navy bastards!"

"When the Baroque Works was in chaos, they didn't take action. Now that the matter is over, they are the first to take action against Lord Cobra?!" "How can this be justified?"

An old man in the crowd had tears in his eyes and waved his cane, waving it hatefully at the Marine in front of him.

The latter felt pain, but faced with the countless half-naked civilians who should have been protected by him, he did not fight back. He just silently carried out Kizaru's order to seal off the palace and refused to take a step back.

"Lord Cobra, for the sake of us, even withheld his own rations!
"He once held my daughter in his arms. I will never allow any marine to lay a hand on him!"

……

The crowd pushed the Marines' defense line back, and in just a few minutes they had approached the gate of the palace.

Kizaru stood in the ward, watching all this coldly.

After a few breaths.

He just turned around and looked at Cobra:
"King Cobra is very popular."

"They are ordinary people who are trying hard to survive. They are simple-minded and easily deceived and deliberately led by others."

Cobra said calmly:

"But at the same time, if you treat them well, they will return you ten times. I just want to make their lives better."

“Not a bad answer.”

Kizaru's expression eased. He took one last look at Robin and said meaningfully:

"I hope you can take care of yourself, Princess."

After saying that, Kizaru turned around and left with everyone.

Although the adjutant beside him was unwilling, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and leave when he remembered Kizaru's warning just now.

Gao Wen, who had been lying outside the window, just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard Kizaru's voice:

"The one outside the window, I'm going to say this to you as well. If possible, I don't want to attack a monster like you~"

Gao Wen's body stiffened, and he cursed inwardly at the old fox, then he turned over and landed steadily on the windowsill.

Actually.

Kizaru took the initiative to point out that he had been hiding outside the window, which just proved that he had given up on attacking Robin here.

After realizing this, Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kizaru with a wry smile:

"Didn't I come here to spar with you?!"

"Yeah?!"

Yellow Monkey said meaningfully:

"Ah la~"

"My old bones can't stand your torture, how about giving me a few days off?!"

Kizaru glanced at Robin without leaving a trace, with a playful smile on his face:

"After all, I still have a few reports on Alabasta and Baroque Works that have not been completed, and the World Government is pressing me hard~"

Gao Wen's expression froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

But at this time, the other party had the upper hand over him, so Gao Wen could only accept it.

but.

The main goal has been achieved, the Dominant Haki has been upgraded to LV-4, and has even reached the threshold of Dominance, it just takes some time to master it.

Gao Wen's main goal had been achieved, so he simply did not dwell on this small issue.

"as long as you are happy."

"Yeah?!"

A playful smile appeared on Kizaru's lips:

"Does Baroque Works still have a few senior executives?"

Gawain nodded:
"I'll take action."

"There are also several dangerous pirate gangs entrenched in the surrounding areas..."

Gawain sensed something was wrong:

"I'll handle it."

"The military expenses for this naval trip..."

Gawain cursed:

"You're going too far, old man!"

"Well, I was just kidding."

Say it.

Kizaru led everyone away with a satisfied look on his face.

As Kizaru's order was passed down, the crowd surrounding the Alabasta Royal Palace and the marines dispersed in an orderly manner.

The civilians at the scene gradually calmed down and soon dispersed under the comfort of the kingdom's guards such as Bell and Gaka.

……

In the ward.

Robin and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the crisis was resolved.

"What should we do now?!"

Weiwei couldn't help but look at Robin worriedly:

"Send Sister Robin away?!"

The situation just now was critical. If there was any mistake, Kizaru would take action, and Alabasta, which had just settled down, would face another war.

That was not what he, as a member of the royal family, wanted to see.

Now that the crisis has been resolved, Robin's safety has become a difficult problem facing everyone.

"If we continue to let her stay here, what if that person changes his mind..."

"Will not."

"That guy is a navy admiral. He made his move the moment he was about to do so."

Gawain shook his head:
"Letting Robin leave now will truly confirm her identity."

"At least until Kizaru leaves, she will not only stay here, but also become the princess of Alabasta."

"A real princess!"

"but."

"Before that, there is another matter that needs to be dealt with. Where are Gabra and the others now?!"
