Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Cobra stood alone on the balcony, gazing at the clear sky above and letting out a heavy sigh.

Twelve-year-old Vivi arrived just then. She heard her father sigh and ask,

"Dad, you look terrible. Are you worried about the weather again?"

Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Cobra quickly composed himself, putting on a smiling face as he turned to Vivi and said,

"Dad's alright, what are you doing here?"

As a princess, Vivi was naturally much more mature than her peers. She could tell that her father was putting on a brave face, but she didn't expose him.

She obediently put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and said...

"I just went to play with Koza."

"Kousha, he's quite a nice young man!"

Cobra knew about the boy Kosha. Although he was only twelve years old, the same age as Vivi, he had already formed his own organization called "Sands" and served as its leader.

This shows that he has a strong leadership talent. Although he is a commoner, Cobra does not object to Vivi's contact with him.

However, when Kosa was mentioned, Vivi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Kobra raised an eyebrow upon seeing this, wondering if Kosha had bullied his daughter.

Vivi's mother died early, and Cobra doted on his daughter immensely. If he knew that anyone dared to bully his precious daughter, he would make that person taste the king's wrath!

He asked sternly.

"What's with that expression? Did that brat Kosa bully you? You bastard! That kid is really audacious!"

Seeing that her father was angry, Weiwei quickly explained,

"No, no, it's just that he's been acting really strange lately. I feel like there's a hint of... disgust in the way he looks at me?"

At this point, Weiwei stopped talking.

In fact, she had more or less guessed why Kosa had become like this.

During this period, public opinion against her father intensified, especially after someone claimed to have seen the royal army looting the people. This caused Kosa to become hostile towards her father and also to distance herself from her, the princess.

Vivi certainly didn't believe her father would do such a thing; she trusted his character.

But Kou Sha still had related photos, which left Vivi speechless for a moment.

Actually, it was done by Crocodile's subordinate, Mr. Bon Clay, a user of the Imitation Fruit. Vivi, who hasn't infiltrated Baroque Works, is of course unaware of this.

Cobra was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly understood the reason. Kosha's estrangement from Vivi was most likely due to him again.

Thinking about what had happened in the kingdom during this time, Cobra couldn't help but sigh again.

Weiwei stopped hiding her thoughts and spoke her mind directly.

"Dad, I know you didn't do those things, and the weather has nothing to do with you either, but I always feel that all of this is related to Crocodile!"

Cobra was taken aback by his daughter's words; in fact, he thought the same thing.

These problems have been coming one after another ever since Crocodile arrived here, and Cobra would never believe that they have nothing to do with him.

But ordinary people don't care about all that; they only see Crocodile's heroic act of dealing with the thugs.

Crocodile's reputation is currently at its peak, and his strength is terrifying. Even if Cobra wanted to investigate, he would be powerless to do so.

Thinking of these difficulties, Cobra fell silent.

Vivi then said something surprising.

"Dad, let me go! I can infiltrate his organization to gather information!"

"What?! No way! How old are you?!"

Cobra was truly frightened. Although Vivi was somewhat precocious, it was still too early for her to be dealing with those pirates.

He was really afraid that Weiwei would be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind, as soon as she went in.

But Vivi was unusually stubborn today; she rarely talked back to Cobra.

"Father! Let me go! I am a princess, and I am responsible for my kingdom!"

"you……"

"Clap clap clap."

Before Cobra could speak, a round of applause erupted from the palace on the balcony.

"who!?"

The sudden applause startled both Cobra and Vivi. Cobra quickly turned around and looked into the hall.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a white coat appeared on the throne in the hall.

He crossed his legs, his strange, deep purple eyes smiling as he looked at Cobra and Vivi.

The person who arrived was Chiga.

After arriving in Alabasta, he did not go to Crocodile immediately, but instead strolled around the streets of the kingdom first.

In a bar, he overheard the conversations of those around him and understood the current situation in Alabasta.

He knew that Crocodile was behind all of this, just a few years earlier than expected.

Of course, Chiga didn't know that Crocodile's plan was brought forward by several years because of him.

It was because he had scared Crocodile so badly at Marine Headquarters that Crocodile felt a strong sense of crisis, which prompted him to move up his plans.

It can only be said that this blame has once again been placed on his head.

Chapter 222 A Warning from General Zilin

Upon seeing Qianhe's face clearly, Kobra and Vivi's eyes widened.

Vivi covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed.

"Those eyes belong to General Zilin!"

Kobra nodded subconsciously, then a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.

He didn't care at all that Chiga was sitting on the throne, because he knew that compared to a naval admiral, a king of a country was nothing.

A single Shichibukai can plunge his entire country into crisis, let alone a Marine Admiral whose strength far surpasses that of a Shichibukai.

Of course, what made him happiest was that the naval admiral who came was Zilin!

His strength is recognized as the strongest among the admirals, and his reputation is also the best. He knows that this Purple Scale Admiral will never tolerate evil pirates.

Moreover, he recently saved a kingdom from Blackbeard, and it is said that he even used his abilities to help the people there build houses. He is simply the most perfect Marine Admiral in people's hearts!

Vivi looked at Qianhe with fervent admiration.

She was the deputy leader of the "Sand Sand Gang," and the entire gang held this General Zi Lin in the highest esteem. They even bowed to a photo of Chika when they were formed.

Kou Sha was a die-hard fan of this General Zi Lin; if he were here, he would probably kneel down before Chiga.

Chiga was already used to their reactions. He rested his chin on his hand and looked down at Vivi with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Of all the princesses in One Piece, Vivi is the one he admires the most.

She is responsible and has always thought about the big picture since she was a child. She is also willing to go undercover in the dangerous Baroque Works for the sake of the country.

Compared to Hiyori Kozuki, who thrived as a geisha but relied solely on others and ultimately reaped the rewards, Vivi was undoubtedly a highly charismatic princess.

Chiga slowly rose from the throne and walked down the steps towards the father and daughter.

As Kobra and Vivi watched Chiga approach, they felt an overwhelming sense of pressure, and they involuntarily swallowed.

Chika approached the father and daughter, first greeting King Cobra, then smiling at Vivi and saying...

"What you just said was very good. I acknowledge you as a princess."

"Eh?!"

Upon receiving Qianhe's praise, Weiwei was momentarily at a loss for words; she hadn't expected to receive such praise from such an important figure.

Two lovely blushes appeared on her face; she dared not look at Qianhe's devastatingly handsome face.

Kobra was happy for his daughter to have gained the approval of General Zilin, but he was also a little jealous.

He wasn't jealous of his daughter's reaction to Chiga; it was simply because this middle-aged man also wanted Chiga's approval.

Fortunately, Chiga didn't forget Cobra. Having watched the anime, he knew that Cobra was definitely a competent and good king.

He patted Cobra on the shoulder and said earnestly,

“You are also a competent king. I know what has happened in Alabasta recently. The fault is not yours. I will end all of this.”

"General Zilin..."

Kobra stared blankly at Chiga, this big man who had been king for decades, and at this moment he felt a sense of satisfaction from being recognized by his elders.

Before he could express his feelings, Chiga bypassed the father and daughter and went to the balcony where they had been.

Cobra and Vivi exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Chiga looked up at the sky, and a plan had already been devised in her mind.

He clasped his hands together, forming the "未" mudra, and whispered...

"Rain Tiger Freedom Technique".

As the spell was cast, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky above Alabasta. The clouds gathered together, and a damp atmosphere permeated the entire kingdom.

Cobra and Vivi were stunned by the sight above them. What were they seeing? General Zilin could actually summon wind and rain?!

The people of the kingdom were extremely excited, rushing into the streets and looking up at the sky with hopeful eyes, praying that a torrential rain would fall and nourish the parched kingdom.

Somewhere in the desert, Crocodile was also looking at the dark clouds above, his expression not looking good.

Beside him was a beautiful woman with a striking figure, wearing a cowboy hat. Perhaps due to spending a long time in the desert, her skin was tanned, but it added a touch of healthy beauty to her overall appearance.

She is Robin, and she is currently twenty-four years old.

She also found it strange that this kind of weather could occur due to the effects of the dancing powder.

Back in the palace,

Chiga did not immediately activate the Rain Tiger Free Technique. Instead, his eyes transformed into two dazzling purple lightning bolts, and the dark clouds above also transformed into thunderclouds entwined with purple electric arcs.
