Pirates: My crew is the heroine of the 3D zone

"It's a bit far, maybe next time. I was just attacked by the Baroque Works, and I have some bad news for you."

"What bad news?" Skylark beside him asked anxiously, "Captain, are you injured?"

"No, just don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."

"Go ahead," Peacock said with a smile, "We promise we are not afraid."

"The Alabasta hero who came to protect Vivi, Crocodile, is dead. He was beheaded by the assassins of Baroque Works."

"What!" Peacock's face changed drastically. "He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea recognized by the World Government. Baroque Works is actually able to eliminate him. This is no small matter."

"Yeah," Chen Yongan adjusted his sitting position and finally rested his head on 2B's plump and soft thighs.

"There were too many agents who attacked us, including several chief commanders. Although we fought desperately and repelled the enemy, Crocodile was unfortunately killed by the Baroque Works. He was a true hero... It's a pity."

"I understand," Peacock nodded without any doubt, "I will report this to my superiors. I will also request more support from Baroque Works to wipe them out as soon as possible."

"Well, thank you for your help. Next time we meet, I will give you a reward... and make love with you for one night."

As soon as these words came out, the peacock, who had tasted the sweetness of the food, immediately became like the overflowing Santo River. His face turned red, and he couldn't help but squeeze his legs together and said, "Then I'm really looking forward to it~"

“I will definitely not let you down.”

Peacock hung up the phone with a smile, but found that Skylark, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, was staring at her curiously.

"What does it mean to do it for one night?"

"It's baking," Peacock lifted up her sexy long legs, "We exchanged baking experiences all night, making bagels, baguettes, and my favorite, puffs filled with fillings."

"Then I..."

"No, you need to rest well so that you can grow taller and stronger."

Yunque nodded doubtfully, but still felt that what Chen Yongan and Kongque had just said about working on it for a whole night was not as simple as exchanging baking experiences.

......

After Vivi completed the mourning ceremony for the death of the soldiers and the "hero" Crocodile, Chen Yongan and 2B went over.

"Can we set off now? Or should we rest in this city for a night before leaving?"

"Let's go now," Weiwei said, "I will report what happened here to my father."

"I'll arrange the departure now," Bell nodded to Weiwei, and turned to make the arrangements.

Before leaving, he did not forget to take a look at 2B standing next to Chen Yongan. She was a warrior much stronger than Crocodile. Not only her, but everyone on the ship was so powerful that they could not match.

Weiwei really found a group of incredible companions on this trip.

Fortunately, they were friendly forces.

After Bell organized the team, King Aida also led the tightly wrapped Nico Robin over, and everyone rode on camels and set off for the royal capital Aruba.

Chapter 195: The Capital of Arubana

The desert climate of Alabasta is dry and hot, and the feeling is much stronger than on the ship.

At least on the boat you don’t have to face the scorching sun directly. There are ice buckets to help you cool down, as well as delicious cold drinks and other summer cool measures.

"It's too bad here," Chen Yongan couldn't help but complain, "I really don't know how you can endure such a bad climate."

"You'll get used to it," said Weiwei, who was sitting on a camel next to them. "After all, this is the land where my ancestors have lived for generations. We can't just abandon this place and look for another place to live, right?"

"I think you are lazy. You are too lazy to find a place, too lazy to control the desert. Anyway, you can just live for a few decades, so just make do with it."

Weiwei opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't refute it.

I can't win the argument with him. Our knowledge, experience and thoughts are not on the same level.

The cheeks are puffy.

"There is a lot of groundwater under the desert here," said Mona, who was held in Chen Yongan's arms and riding a camel together. "It's just that sand can't hold water. I think as long as it is properly managed, it won't be difficult to turn it into an oasis."

"Really?" Weiwei felt delighted and asked subconsciously.

Weiwei had no doubt about this. She knew Mona's abilities. Since Mona said there was groundwater underneath, it must be correct.

"Yes, it's an underground river," Mona closed her eyes and felt it. "The underground river of this land is formed by the penetration of the sea. It is intricate and complex, like leaf veins, and finally converges into the huge Santo River."

"So that's how it is," Weiwei suddenly realized, "No wonder the source of the Saint-To River is so small. It can last for a long time even without rain."

"So let's work hard to control the desert," Mona slapped away Chen Yongan's restless hands that were kneading her, "before the country is completely desertified."

"Yes," Weiwei glanced at Chen Yongan, "Someone is hiding something and is reluctant to say anything."

"It's useless for you to imply something to me. In the adult world, anything can be used as a bargaining chip. I won't tell you for nothing."

Weiwei stopped talking and decided to save her energy to fight the hot weather.

The group rode their camels eastward, and when the sun was about to set, the outline of the city finally appeared at the end of the sand dunes in the distance.

Arubana is a city built on a round flat-topped stone mountain in the center of the desert.

This made the members of the Fourth Disaster Pirate Hunter Group, who had never experienced the hardships of the desert, more energetic. However, due to the slow speed of the camels, even if they ran at full speed, by the time they arrived in Aruba, the sun had already set completely and the temperature dropped sharply, and they began to feel a little cold.

What Chen Yongan did not expect was that even at this late hour, they were still welcomed by the people at the entrance of the royal capital.

Standing at the front of the welcoming line was Vivi's father, Cobra, the King of Alabasta.

A man who looks very much like the Pharaoh in Egyptian movies in Chen Yongan, especially his handlebar goatee.

"Weiwei, welcome home."

"Yeah," Weiwei looked at her father, who had only been away for more than a year but looked much older, with tears in her eyes, and nodded heavily to him.

"Princess Vivi, did Crocodile really sacrifice himself for Alabasta?"

"That's right," Weiwei turned her gaze away from her father, "He has left us forever, but he will always be with us. He has become a heroic spirit, forever protecting you and me on this land."

As soon as these words were spoken, a feeling of sadness instantly spread, and I felt sad for it.

Those who were more emotional wailed and cried, and some even fainted on the spot.

The reputation that Crocodile has accumulated in this country over the years has reached a terrifying level. If Crocodile's plan had not been interfered with by outsiders, the success of stealing the country would be a foregone conclusion.

Then Vivi encouraged people again and stirred up their anger against the Baroque Works, the culprit that caused all this, and completely diverted the social conflicts in the country caused by the drought.

"Sometimes the dead are much more useful than the living," King Ada sighed, "I think even if he died, he never thought that he would be used so thoroughly."

"He asked for this. Every step was his own decision. I didn't force him."

The crowd stayed at the city gate for a while before continuing towards the palace in the center of the city.

It is majestic and built entirely of white square stones and covered with a golden dome. Its several spires are towering into the clouds, exuding a strong local Alabasta style of architecture.

As a royal palace, the greenery here is quite abundant. There are not only grasslands that require fresh water for irrigation, but also rows of tall palm trees. They are particularly eye-catching in the drought-scarce golden desert.

Although such a courtyard cannot be said to be full of birdsong, flowers, and green trees, owning such a place in this arid country is enough to make people hate it.

It is no wonder that Crocodile easily incited public anger.

As the saying goes, we don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

Led by Cobra and Vivi, the group on the boat had no problems and arrived at the banquet hall of the castle.

After the door was closed, Cobra put aside his sadness caused by the sacrifice of the hero, bowed deeply to Chen Yongan, and thanked him: "Thank you for taking care of my daughter along the way, and for your efforts to help Alabasta eliminate the threat. On behalf of all the people of Alabasta, I am grateful."

"It's just what we need. As long as you can deliver on your promise to me, that's fine."

Cobra straightened his back and said, "You are talking about the Cat-Cat Fruit, right? Vivi told me about it in the letter. Bell, go to the treasury and get it."

"Yes."

"No hurry," Chen Yongan stopped, "Let's eat first. We're tired after working all day. Once we're full and rested, we can talk about other things tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, please take a seat. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you... Weiwei, I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite curry and pudding. You have been away from home for so long, you must taste them."

"Thank you, Dad." Weiwei smiled and said, "Hurry up and take a seat. Just treat this as a boat."

"Then you're welcome, Mary," Mary Rose skipped and found a seat closest to the cake and sat down. She was tired after a whole day and couldn't wait to try the taste of the cake from this country.

The others also found a seat and sat down. Even Nico Robin took off her headscarf and silently enjoyed the food in front of her.

As for the pair of restrictive handcuffs on Nico Robin's hands, they were released when Crocodile was defeated.

Chen Yongan did what he said, which made Nicole Robin trust him even more.

This is someone worthy of trust.

Chapter 196 Father-in-law

After enjoying the sumptuous dinner, Cobra also arranged a large bathhouse for everyone, which they usually did not want to use, so that everyone could take a bath and wash away the day's fatigue.

It's the kind that separates men and women.

After all, Weiwei was taking a bath with them too, and Chen Yongan couldn't just walk in and bathe with them in front of other people's fathers.

This is a typical Egyptian bathhouse, with a strong classical atmosphere, open-air, built of white boulders, surrounded by tall colorful columns in the shape of palm trees, and bold and artistic goddess sculptures lined up in the niches around it.

Much more artistic than that hippopotamus bathhouse in Wapol.

Chen Yongan simply washed himself and immersed himself in the hot water. Before he could close his eyes to enjoy the comfort, he felt someone walking in.

It was Cobra with a towel around his waist.

This made Chen Yongan frown. After all, he was a southerner, and southerners who had never taken a bath in a bathhouse would feel a little uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, I decided not to leave immediately.

With the relationship with Vivi, Cobra is his future father-in-law after all, so he has to give him some face.

"I haven't taken a bath like this for a long time," Cobra sat down not far from Chen Yongan after washing himself. "Since what happened in Alabasta, I can't bear to use a bathhouse that consumes so much water... I heard from Chaka and Bell about what happened in Akibul. Thank you for your help."

"Yes," Chen Yongan nodded, "This is what I promised Weiwei."

Cobra was silent. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "What is your relationship with Weiwei? Are you more than just ordinary partners?"

As a father, Cobra obviously noticed something wrong during the dinner just now.

Weiwei is too close to Chen Yongan.

He was picking up dishes and introducing things. His gaze towards Chen Yongan was obviously different from the gaze towards other people. His attention was almost entirely on Chen Yongan the entire time. Even though his father, whom he had not seen for a long time, was sitting next to him, he did not say a few words the entire time.

Combined with the communication with Chaka and Bell just now, Cobra's guess was further confirmed.

Whether Cobra was willing to admit it or not, his daughter had reached this age.

Chen Yongan has outstanding abilities, strong strength, and a clean identity. He can be said to be a very good support.

But the problem is that there are so many women around him who are obviously closely related to him, which makes Cobra, as a father, deeply dissatisfied.

I am so envious.

"You figured it out..." Chen Yongan raised his head and looked at the starry sky, "Should I respectfully call you 'father-in-law' now?"

"You bastard!" Cobra clenched his fists angrily, and his emotions began to become agitated. "You already have so many female companions, why do you still want to mess with my Weiwei!"

"She's my Weiwei now," Chen Yongan corrected. "As a man, don't you understand why?"

Cobra's face twisted when he heard this, and he was shaking with excitement. However, his rationality as a king restrained his impulse as a father, and he almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "He is an irresponsible guy who is unfaithful to his feelings."

"Whether you agree or not, it happened this way. I think we should talk more about Alabasta's predicament instead of talking about these things."

"Dilemma? You have dealt with the leading Crocodile and the senior cadres. The remaining remnants of Baroque Works will be wiped out by the soldiers of Alabasta sooner or later. What dilemma is there? Or are you talking about those rebels?"

"I mean, it's time to govern this land."

"This place has been a desert for thousands of years..."

"And you just accepted your fate? And gave up resistance?"

Cobra was silent for a moment, and after organizing his words, he said, "Alabasta has been working hard to control the desert, but the results have not been good. We have done our best to prevent the few remaining lands from further desertification."

"Take me there in a couple of days. Maybe I can help you restore the desert to land."

"Really?" Cobra's heart trembled, and he put aside the unhappiness of Chen Yongan taking Weiwei away, "As long as you can help Alabasta manage the desert, I will agree to any conditions you give."

Although he said he could agree to any condition, Cobra had nothing to give Chen Yongan.

After all, with Chen Yongan's relationship with Weiwei, even if he did nothing, this country would be his in three or four years.

——Cobra’s health is getting worse day by day. Even though he looks very strong now, it is just an appearance after all.

Illness is Cobra's biggest enemy now.
