Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "I believe you, Princess Weiwei, but I also have to give everyone a reasonable explanation."
Weiwei nodded and took some documents and photos from Robin, which were solid evidence of Crocodile's criminal activities.
"Here are some materials you can take a look at."
Kosa took the information and read it carefully.
As page after page of content appeared before him, his expression gradually became serious, and shock and anger were revealed in his eyes.
Weiwei explained, "They are the ones who secretly used dancing powder in various places, gathering all the rainwater in Alabasta into the rainy land, so other places have been dry. Now the navy has been dispatched to arrest them. When I return to the capital, I will also let the royal army search these places again."
After reading all the information, Kosa knelt on one knee in front of Weiwei and said solemnly: "Princess Weiwei, please forgive our recklessness. I will inform everyone and reveal the truth of the matter. I believe that soon, everyone will return to their hometowns and start a new life."
"Thank you, Kosa," Weiwei responded gently, "If no one continues to use the dancing powder, it won't be long before the rain returns to normal."
After that, she took out the treasures given by Nami from the bag behind her and gave them all to Kosa.
"Although there is not much money here, I hope you can distribute it to all the suffering civilians."

A few days later, the members of the El Pirates, led by Vivi, arrived at the Royal Palace of Arubana.
"Thank you for saving my people, warriors of the El Pirates."
Cobra, the 12th King of the Kingdom of Alabasta, stood in front of the throne and received them sincerely.
El responded, "It is our great honor to serve you, Your Majesty King Cobra."
The king turned his gaze to his daughter, Weiwei, and asked in a warm tone, "I heard from Weiwei that there is a historian among you who is interested in historical texts?"
"Yes, there is a historian in my crew who is very interested in the stone tablets of historical texts." Al replied.
The king nodded, and then ordered the guard beside him: "Ikalem, ask your wife to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the guests. We will serve it when we return from the Royal Mausoleum Hall."
Ikalem took the order and quickly went to find his wife to arrange a banquet.
Everyone followed King Cobra through the long corridor and arrived at the Royal Tomb of Nefertari.
In the main hall of the mausoleum, there is a huge stone tablet placed in the center, which is the historical text that Robin has longed for.
Robin walked slowly to the stone tablet and concentrated on interpreting the information on it.
After a long time, Robin finally finished her reading and slowly raised her head, with both satisfaction and regret in her eyes.
"This is not the text I've been looking for that records a blank hundred years of history," Robin said softly.
Although he failed to achieve his wish, Robin expressed his deep gratitude to the king.
After leaving the hall, Robin found Al and whispered to him, "Captain, aren't you curious about what I saw on the stone tablet?"
Al smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I'm really not very interested in those historical texts."
Robin continued, "The stone tablet just now records the Pluto, one of the three legendary ancient weapons. Captain, aren't you interested in this too?"
"The Pluto has already been destroyed. Even if it is dug out, it will only be a pile of rubbish. If you really want to see its design, I know its whereabouts."
Robin looked at Al in surprise, but she did not continue to ask about Pluto's design drawings.
When they returned to the palace, they were warmly received. The palace guards brought them countless fine wines and delicacies, and the entire banquet hall was filled with laughter.
Halfway through the palace banquet, Weiwei seemed to have made up her mind and said to Cobra, "Father, I want to go out to sea with Al and the others to see the outside world and find the Snow Fruit."
King Cobra's eyes were full of love and reluctance, but he still nodded, "Weiwei, you have grown up. Since you want to go out, then go as you wish."
"Father, I want to go out to sea to find that special Snow-Snow Fruit. I heard from El that the fruit can cause heavy snow, and even turn the desert into a world of ice and snow permanently. This is too important for us in Alabasta."
Cobra raised his glass and said to El, "Captain El, I hope you can take good care of Vivi for me. Although the Ice and Snow Fruit is very precious, I care more about my daughter's safe return to Alabasta. This is a request from a father."
"King Cobra, please rest assured," Al responded solemnly, "Princess Vivi is a very good companion. I will do my best to protect the safety of all the crew members."
Inside the banquet hall, everyone raised their glasses and drank to celebrate the beginning of this new journey.
During the few days of rest in Alabasta, good news of rain came from all over the country.
Thanks to Kosa's efforts, the rebels gradually disbanded and returned to their hometowns.
"Really?" King Cobra received the royal army who came to report in the palace with a frown on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, a large number of naval warships appeared in Rapeseed Port, led by Colonel Tina who is in charge of this sea area." The soldiers of the King's Army reported with a hint of nervousness in their tone.
King Cobra stroked his forehead and fell into deep thought. Then he turned to Ikareem and said firmly, "Go and invite those distinguished guests. Inform them as soon as possible. I will have the Royal Army escort them out of Alabasta."
At this time, Al and his companions were resting in a guest room in the palace, when suddenly the Den Den Mushi rang.
Al picked up the phone, and Qing Zhi's lazy and familiar voice came from the other end: "Moshi Moshi, is this Al?"
"General Qingzhi, are you contacting me at this time because you have any new task arrangements?" Al asked.
"It seems that you have completed the task of finding Robin?"
"Yes, I'll let Robin talk to you now." Al said, handing the Den Den Mushi to Robin.
Robin took the Den Den Mushi, and complex emotions flashed in her eyes, but she didn't speak immediately. She just stared at the Den Den Mushi quietly.
"Robin, twenty years ago, the giant Sauro who fought for O'Hara was my best friend." A young voice with a hint of emotion came slowly from the Den Den Mushi.
"That day I listened to his advice and let you go. After so many years, you are still wandering without a home, so I asked Al to take you with me. You must remember that O'Hara has not completely perished. Live on with strength in the future."
Robin listened to Qingzhi's words, and countless memories and emotions surged in his heart.
After a long while, she whispered, "Thank you."
Hearing Robin's gentle thanks, Qing Zhi smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Then, Qingzhi's voice sounded again, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Al, you have given me a big problem."
Hearing this, Al asked in confusion, "What's wrong, General Qingzhi? Is there something wrong?"
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea is an organization established by the World Government to balance the forces on the Grand Line. Now that Crocodile has been defeated by you, Marshal Sengoku has convened an emergency meeting to discuss the candidates for the new Seven Warlords of the Sea." There was a hint of helplessness in Qingzhi's voice.
"Isn't that great? Crocodile is endangering the member countries of the World Government. I helped kick him out. The World Government should thank me, right?"
Al asked back, trying to understand the hidden meaning in Qingzhi's words.
"That being said, the Shichibukai position cannot remain vacant for too long." Qing Zhi continued, "I have already reported your name, and Marshal Sengoku is very satisfied. The navy that you are in contact with should be arriving in Alabasta soon."
Al was stunned for a moment, "What? Are you going to make me a Shichibukai? Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Yes, being able to defeat Crocodile shows that you have enough strength to deserve this title. I am also helping you accumulate reputation, which will be beneficial to your future development." Qingzhi's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Admiral Aokiji, I understand what you mean," Al said slowly, "but now that I have formed a pirate group as SWORD, would it be a bit complicated for me to become a Shichibukai recognized by the World Government?"
"Al, this world isn't always black and white. Just remember that everything you do is for justice."

After hanging up the phone, Al turned to his companions with a complicated look on his face: "The situation is getting more and more complicated. You all heard what General Qingzhi said just now. Let's discuss anything you want to say."
The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was lost in thought.
Weiwei was the first to break the silence. With a smile on her face, she said, "I think this is a good thing. As Shichibukai, we can enjoy many privileges that ordinary pirates don't have."
Al nodded slightly. He understood that what Weiwei said made sense. Becoming a Shichibukai would indeed bring them a lot of convenience.
"The status of Shichibukai can provide us with more conveniences." Robin said slowly, "but it is also a double-edged sword. The pirates outside may want to seize this status by defeating us."
"Don't worry about that, Robin." Al comforted her, "Our strength will be further enhanced soon. Ordinary pirates will not be our opponents!"
"Since you are so confident, then there will be no problem. With this identity, our actions on the Grand Line will be smoother."
"Weiwei, please ask your father if there is any news about the arrival of the navy."
El said to Vivi, then turned to Nami.
"After we finish negotiating with the navy, we will immediately set out to the sky island to seize the thunder fruit there."
"Okay, Captain." After hearing the order, Weiwei nodded, then turned and walked out the door, preparing to go to the palace to inquire about the situation.
After Weiwei left, Robin slowly spoke and raised his question: "Captain, is the Thunder Fruit you mentioned the legendary devil fruit that has the invincible ability to manipulate lightning power?"
El nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it should be considered one of the strongest fruits in the world."
After hearing this, Nami's face instantly bloomed into a brilliant smile like a flower, "Really? Captain, you are awesome!"
Before she finished speaking, Nami gave El a big hug.
Pulling himself out of Nami's soft embrace, El continued, "Each of you has a very strong fruit ability, but that's not enough. Only when you learn how to use your domineering power can you truly have the strength to gain a foothold on the sea."
The girls responded one after another that they would practice the Six Navy Styles more diligently and then learn Haki.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Weiwei walked into the room with Ikalem, her steps light and hurried.
"I met Ikalem just halfway through my journey." Weiwei explained, "The King's Army discovered the Navy's fleet at Rapeseed Harbor. Father specifically reminded us to be careful. He arranged for the King's Army to provide cover for us and ensure our safe departure."
Al felt relieved when he heard that the leader was Colonel Tina.
She is Smoker's old lover. If a conflict really occurs, it should be able to be resolved by contacting Colonel Smoker.
He turned to look at Weiwei, with a hint of inquiry in his tone: "Then let's pack our bags, say goodbye to the king and get ready to leave? Is that ok, Weiwei?"
Weiwei's face lit up with a bright smile, and she nodded happily: "I'm ready, Captain Al. Ikalem, please go to my palace and get the luggage that has been prepared."
After saying goodbye to Cobra, the group boarded the Blue Dragon transformed by El and flew towards the Go Merry.
"I never thought that the captain's fruit ability would be so convenient." Robin sat on Qinglong's broad back, his eyes full of curiosity and amazement.
Ke Ya leaned comfortably on the flame cloud created by El. She smiled and recalled, "When we first experienced flying, we were much more excited than you are now."
After arriving at the Merry, they quickly hoisted the sails and headed towards the Rapeseed Harbor against the sea breeze.
Weiwei's mood fluctuated as the boat swayed gently.
Just as they were about to approach their destination, their whereabouts were reported to Captain Tina of the Navy.
"Finally he's willing to show up. Tina has been waiting for a long time."
Under the guidance of the navy, Nami docked the ship at the dock, and El and Vivi were the first to get off the ship.
Seeing Colonel Tina not far from the dock, El took a few steps forward and greeted her politely: "Hello, Colonel Tina, I am El, the leader of the El Pirates."
Without much greeting, Tina took out a Den Den Mushi from her pocket and said, "Captain El, since we are meeting, Tina will speak directly. The Navy Headquarters intends to have you replace Crocodile and become the new member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If you are willing to accept, please accept this Den Den Mushi as a means of communication."
Al took the Den Den Mushi without hesitation and handed it to Weiwei beside him for safekeeping. Then he smiled and replied, "Thank you very much, Colonel Tina, for bringing us this news."
"I just happened to be in charge of the security of this sea area, so I accepted this mission. Since you have agreed to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you can communicate directly with the World Government through Den Den Mushi for the next matter. Now, I will not bother you anymore." After saying that, Tina turned and left.
Looking at Tina's gradually receding figure, Weiwei said softly: "It seems that this Colonel Tina doesn't understand our situation. Her attitude seems to be quite prejudiced against pirates."
"Indeed." Al turned to Weiwei and said, "From now on, you will be the diplomat on our ship. All external affairs will be handled by you. What do you think?"
Hearing Al's words, Weiwei's eyes sparkled. She nodded with a confident smile on her face: "This is what I am best at, Captain Al. Don't worry, I will do my best to do this job well."
"That's settled then," Al said with a smile, "Let's go back to the ship and celebrate the arrival of you and Robin!"
At the same time, on a naval ship not far away, Tina returned to her command room.
As soon as she sat down, one of her subordinates handed her a Den Den Mushi. After a slight ring, Tina picked up the phone, and Smoker's familiar voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Tina, did that boy accept the title of Shichibukai?"
Tina leaned back on the bench, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and let the smoke slowly linger in the air.
She looked out the window at the sea with deep eyes, and after a moment she answered Den Den Mushi: "Of course he accepted. In this sea, which pirate would refuse the opportunity to become a Shichibukai? Why are you so concerned about this pirate group?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, and then Smoker's voice sounded again: "He is different from other pirates. But let's not talk about that for now. There are still some high-ranking executives of Baroque Studios on the run in Alabasta. I'll leave this matter to you. I'm going to send Crocodile to the Imper Undersea Prison first."
Tina exhaled a puff of smoke lightly and said firmly, "No problem, I will take care of it as soon as possible."
Then she hung up the phone, stood up, and prepared to start planning her next move.
Chapter 25 Arrival at Sky Island (Please recommend and collect)
"Captain, look, the navigation needle has really changed direction!"
Nami shouted excitedly, holding the navigation pointer tightly in her hand. The strange pointer was now pointing firmly towards the sky diagonally upwards.
"It seems that Sky Island has taken away the record of this pointer, so let's move in a new direction."
Then he walked into the warehouse and began to move the prepared food in an orderly manner.
Considering that nearly half of the members on the ship are Devil Fruit users, El decided not to rely on the ocean current.
He would personally transform himself into a blue dragon and lift the entire ship, the Merry, to a sky island ten thousand meters above the ground.
