One Piece: All-girl Group, Awakening the Blue Dragon Fruit

Under the cover of night, Al gently landed his body in the palace courtyard, and only returned to human form after Vivi and Kerla jumped down.

Vivi led them quickly towards the room where her father was, alerting the guards stationed throughout the palace along the way.

However, when the guards saw that it was Princess Vivi, they stepped back and stopped trying to stop her, allowing her to bring her guests to see the king.

Soon, the news of the princess' return home spread quickly throughout the palace and even the entire capital of Aruba.

Bell and Gaga from the Kingdom Guard, two powerful men who have inherited the duties of guardian for many years, were the first to learn of the princess' return.

"Dad, I'm back!" Vivi pushed open the door of her father Cobra's room, and like a happy little bird, she flew into her father's arms.

When King Cobra saw his daughter return, he showed an expression of disbelief on his face, but when he noticed Al following closely behind him, his doubts instantly disappeared.

He hugged his daughter tightly, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes, as if at this moment, all the waiting and longing had received the best reward.

At this moment, the joy of the family reunion was beyond words.

Seeing Al and the girl he had never seen before, Ikalem walked up to them and greeted them.

"Long time no see, Captain Al, thank you for taking the time to bring Princess Vivi back. May I know who this is?" Ikalem stepped forward and greeted him, his voice full of gratitude.

Al smiled and introduced: "This is the new member of our ship, her name is Kerla."

After saying that, he introduced Ikarem, the captain of the Alabasta Kingdom Guard, to Kerla.

Seeing that Al still maintained his kindness and humility, Ikalem finally put his worries to rest.

Although he often saw news about him in the newspapers, it was only after meeting him again that he realized that the boy he once was had grown into one of the world's top warriors.

At this time, the emotions between Cobra and Vivi, father and daughter, gradually calmed down.

When Ikalem learned that the three of them had not yet had dinner, he immediately sent someone to the kitchen to inform his wife to prepare some delicious food as soon as possible.

Vivi left her father's arms and planned to start telling about her experience in the El Pirates.

However, before she could tell the story, she smiled mischievously and suddenly transformed into the beast form of a nine-tailed fox, startling Cobra and Ikareem.

"Vivi, have you also eaten the devil fruit? Can you turn into an animal like Bell, Gaga and the others?" Cobra asked in surprise.

Weiwei shook her head proudly: "Father, I am different from them. My fruit ability is the more rare mythical beast form. Look at my transformation!"

After saying that, she turned around slightly and unexpectedly turned into the appearance of King Cobra.

King Cobra looked at himself vividly in front of him, as if he had walked out of a mirror, and couldn't help but applaud: "My daughter has become so powerful!"

"Father, I have something even more powerful! Look at this!" As soon as Vivi finished speaking, she cast an illusion and multiple figures of King Cobra appeared in the room.

Each figure seems to exist in reality, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. These figures sway under the light, as if a group of kings are dancing.

King Cobra looked at this scene, his heart filled with pride and joy.

At this time, Ikalem's wife, Tilagtan, personally led the maids from the palace kitchen and came into the palace carrying a large amount of food.

She hadn't seen Princess Vivi for a long time, and was suddenly excited to hear the news that the princess was returning home.

Suppressing her desire to see the princess immediately, she quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare some sumptuous food and delivered it personally.

The plates were filled with a variety of carefully prepared dishes, steaming hot and exuding an enticing aroma.

While savoring the familiar taste, Weiwei asked about Kosa's whereabouts.

After learning that he had become the kingdom's Minister of Environment, Vivi, with Cobra's consent, asked Ikalem to send someone to invite him to the palace.

She took the swamp fruit from her bosom and placed it on the table to show it to the people in front of her.

"Father, this is a precious nature-type devil fruit, a gift from Captain El. It has the power to turn all the sand in our country into fertile soil."

Vivi's words made King Cobra stunned on the spot.

As the king of this country, he naturally knew how much changes it would bring to the country if the entire kingdom owned soil.

In other islands and kingdoms, mud is just a common thing, but in the desert country of Alabasta, the value of mud is almost equal to rainwater.

"Weiwei, do you want Kosa to take this fruit?"

"Yes, father." Vivi nodded. "Kosa's father, Uncle Duoduo, reclaimed the Joba Oasis for us. He is a hero of our country. I believe that Kosa will be willing to take on this important task and travel across the country to turn the desert of Alabasta into a vibrant oasis."

After listening to Vivi's words, Cobra deeply agreed that there was indeed no one more suitable for this mission than the new Environment Minister Kosa.

Soon, hearing the summons from the palace guards, Kosha immediately followed them to the palace.

At the gate of the palace, he met the two guardian gods of the country, Bell and Jaka, who also came to the palace. The three of them came to the outside of King Cobra's palace together.

Seeing Princess Vivi return safely, the three of them were filled with joy and extended their sincere greetings to her and began to ask her about her experiences at sea.

Seeing this, Cobra coughed lightly, drawing their attention to himself.

He picked up the devil fruit with strange stripes on the table and said to Kosha, "Kosha, this is the devil fruit that my daughter Vivite brought back. I think you are the most suitable to be its user. I hope you can use its power properly and use it to benefit Alabasta. From now on, you, like Bell and Gaga, will be the guardian of Alabasta."

Kosha's eyes fell on the fruit in front of him that was emitting a mysterious light, and a strong sense of responsibility and mission surged in his heart.

"Thank you Princess Vivi and His Majesty the King for your trust. I will definitely use the power of this fruit to benefit Alabasta."

Cobra looked at Kosa in front of him with satisfaction, as if he saw the brave and fearless young figure who was determined to change the destiny of the country.

It was in this palace that he personally appointed Kosa's father to go to Joba to open up an oasis.

"I see the shadow of your father in you. I hope you can use the power of this fruit to turn the entire Alabasta into an oasis country."

The three looked at Cobra in front of them in surprise. The king's words clearly revealed that this fruit had the ability to change the fate of the country.

Kosa asked him in disbelief: "Your Majesty, what is the ability of this devil fruit?"

Cobra smiled and said, "Weiwei, you come and explain it to Kosha."

"Okay, father." After hearing her father's arrangement, Weiwei put down her chopsticks.

She looked at Kosha, who had scars on his face from protecting himself when he was young.

She smiled and explained, "Kosa, this is a very rare nature-type devil fruit. Its ability allows you to turn into mud to avoid any attack. In addition, your body can hold a large number of objects. Most importantly, it can change the surrounding environment into a swamp."

While in the North Sea, she had witnessed Caribou turning an entire beach into a swamp, but whether Kosa could do it so easily would depend on his strength and the speed with which he could master his abilities.

Hearing Princess Vivi's words, Kosa took the swamp fruit handed to him by King Cobra without hesitation and swallowed it in one breath.

Soon, under the effect of the fruit's power, the stone slabs under Kosa's feet seemed to begin to melt, and his feet turned into mud.

Kosa quickly concentrated his mind and controlled the ability of his fruit to prevent the ground from becoming further swampy.

Under everyone's enthusiastic urging, a group of people came to a sandy area in the palace under the cover of night.

Kosa took a deep breath, activated the power of the fruit, and his feet gradually turned into mud.

As the power of the fruit continued to be activated, the sand under his feet soon turned into a sticky swamp.

Then, he used the ability of the fruit to adjust the hardness of the mud, gradually transforming it into ordinary land.

After completing all this, everyone dug up the newly changed land with their own hands. Looking at the completely changed soil, everyone showed a satisfied smile.

Accompanied by everyone and under the watchful eyes of the palace guards, Kosa easily replaced all the sand in the palace with soil.

Moreover, with his ability, he can easily drill into the ground to find traces of groundwater, then absorb the land into his body and dig a groundwater well.

Everyone feels the hope brought by this power. The desert of Alabasta will gradually turn into an oasis thanks to Kosha's efforts, and everyone's dreams will come true.

As night fell, the lights in the palace gradually dimmed, and Kosa and the other two had already left to prepare for tomorrow's court meeting.

As the aroma of tea wafted in the air, King Cobra sat in front of an exquisite tea table, listening attentively to Vivi's story about her adventures at sea.

El, who changed the fate of Alabasta twice, was also kept by him to drink tea and enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.

After Princess Vivi finished briefly and vividly recounting her adventures at sea, King Cobra once again cast a grateful look at El, his voice sounding particularly gentle in the silence: "El, Alabasta has once again been blessed by you, and we are truly grateful. Not only did you protect my daughter, but you also brought tremendous changes to our country."

El smiled and replied: "This is the promise that Princess Vivi and I made before we set out to sea. You should thank Princess Vivi. It was she who gave up her noble status as a princess, wandered on the sea, and got the swamp fruit for Alabasta."

Cobra chuckled and said, "You don't know, but Vivi has wanted to become a pirate and go on adventures since she was a child."

There was a hint of pride and barely perceptible reluctance in his words. "So, what are your plans next?"

Chapter 126 Cobra's Persuasion (Please recommend and collect)

El pondered for a moment and said, "Princess Vivi will stay here for a while, and my companions will join us soon. I will take Kerla away for a while, and then return to Alabasta. We may stay here longer."

Princess Vivi said, "Father, Elta is working with Dr. Vegapunk to research power energy equipment. These devices will be able to greatly improve the lives of the citizens. When the time comes, we plan to put them into use in Alabasta."

"Electric energy?" King Cobra's curiosity was aroused. "Can you tell me in detail?"

Weiwei didn't know much about this, so she turned to Al with a questioning look.

Al began to describe in detail the functions and conveniences of various electrical devices.

And talked about Alabasta's abundant wind resources and sunlight, which can be converted into electricity to meet the daily needs of ordinary people.

As a ruler for many years, King Cobra quickly understood the tremendous changes that electricity could bring. It would not only improve people's quality of life, but also bring unprecedented development opportunities to the country.

With the assistance of the genius scientist Vegapunk, he is more confident in this plan than Al.

Thinking of this, King Cobra's gaze moved between his daughter and El, and finally stopped on El.

He suddenly changed the subject and said, "Alabasta is a little desolate, but with the swamp fruit you brought, these are no longer shortcomings. Our country is one of the best in the world in terms of population and area. I hope you can take over my throne so that we can better promote electricity according to your plan."

When Al heard this, he was stunned. He was surprised why King Cobra was so decisive in abdicating the throne.

Princess Weiwei, who was standing by, instantly understood what her father meant. She blushed and said, "Father, what are you talking about? I'm going to ignore you and go back to sleep."

She complained softly, turned away shyly, and fled in a hurried and panic-stricken manner from this embarrassing and uneasy place.

Watching his daughter leave, King Cobra smiled inwardly. His daughter's reaction just showed that she did not reject his decision in her heart. As for the rest, he, as a father, would have to step in and solve it.

He believed that as long as Al was willing to take over the throne, his daughter's status would naturally be determined.

This would not only allow Vivi to stay in Alabasta, but would also help the country find a new king who is both powerful and caring about the people.

In this way, Alabasta's future will definitely be brighter and better.

After hearing what Vivi said, El suddenly realized what King Cobra was thinking.

The corner of his mouth curled up a bitter smile, and he said in a slightly helpless tone: "King Cobra, my ability has not yet met your expectations. It is too difficult for me to govern a country, and I still have a lot of things to do. I can't stay in Alabasta for a long time."

How could King Cobra, who had been immersed in the court for decades, give up his idea easily just because of El's refusal?

His daughter is no less beautiful or intelligent than anyone else, and he also has this country as a dowry. How many people in the world would refuse such a good thing?

He spoke again to try to persuade Al: "You don't need to worry about these. Our Weiwei has been smart since she was a child. I have always trained her as a queen. With her help, you will be able to govern the country well. Even if you really have to leave for something, Weiwei will manage the country for you during your absence. What's more, I, an old man, can help you."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, as if considering his next words.

Then, he whispered to El about a forgotten past event, "In fact, our Nefertite royal family is one of the ancient royal families that co-founded the World Government. It was only for Alabasta that our ancestors gave up moving to Marijoa and becoming Celestial Dragons."

Faced with King Cobra's repeated persuasion, El took a deep breath and confessed to him his next actions.

"King Cobra, in fact, the main reason I left alone this time is to rob the Celestial Gold handed over to the Celestial Dragons by various countries. This means that I will become the most dangerous criminal in the eyes of the World Government and will bring endless troubles and dangers to Alabasta."

King Cobra was shocked when he heard this and looked at the young man in disbelief.

"If you are only after wealth, there are still a lot of treasures in the Alabasta treasury. You don't need to take such a big risk to rob Tenjo Gold. The World Government is very powerful. It's too dangerous for you to do this."

Al waved his hand and explained, "I am not a greedy person. I just plan to use the stolen gold as funding for research on electrical technology so that this technology can benefit more people. I will act carefully and will not reveal my identity."

When King Cobra heard what Al said, his surprise changed. He asked cautiously, "Can you really not reveal your identity?"

El patiently explained, "I won't reveal my own abilities when I take action, and Weiwei's illusions can also confuse the navy, so they won't discover my true identity. I've also prepared a way to secretly transport the property away."

When Cobra heard that his daughter Vivi was also going to participate in this project, he still asked about the details of their plan with concern.

Finally, after confirming that Al and the others' plan was well-thought-out and would not be discovered, he looked at Al with satisfaction and continued, "Since you will not reveal your identity, it will not affect your becoming the king of Alabasta."

Faced with King Cobra's relentless pressure, Al felt powerless, so he revealed the fact that he already had a child with Queen Hancock of the Amazon Lily.

Upon hearing this, King Cobra recalled the experience that Weiwei had mentioned before, where she stayed in the Kingdom of Women to practice.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Amazon Lily is a country made up of women. You are not suitable to stay there for a long time."

Then he suggested, "If you don't want to be the king, you can become the prince of Alabasta like you did in Amazon Lily, and let Vivi be the queen of Alabasta. I will help Vivi manage the country, so that you won't be too burdened."

Facing King Cobra's persistence, Al felt unprecedented helplessness.

He realized that continuing to dwell on this topic would only make the situation more difficult.

A direct refusal would not shake the old king's mind at all, so he decided to change the subject to ease the current situation.

Originally, he planned to privately remind King Cobra of this news before the World Conference, but now it seems that only this can temporarily divert the other party's attention.
