I, a Celestial Dragon!

Anyway, it’s decided, let’s go to Gaya Island!

It just so happens that I also want to meet the lifesaver that my brother always talks about!

Red-haired Shanks, Whitebeard Newgate, and Gawain who had fought against them and was not at a disadvantage!

They will all be defeated by me!!!"

"But……"

On the side, Deuce shook his head helplessly.

"But when we left Upside Down Mountain, we took the route to Trillans Island. If we want to go to Gaya Island, then... let me see."

At this point, Zeus pulled out the introduction to their sailing route given to them by the old doctor named Kurokat at the Twin Capes.

“The old man at Twin Cape claimed that he had traveled to many islands. According to the route map he left behind, our current route does not pass through the ocean currents of Gaya Island at all!

If we want to go to Gaya Island, we have to go back to Upside Down Mountain and then take the Whiskey Peak route again, which is really troublesome! ”

"Haha, trouble is not a problem at all. After all, there are Black Bird Gawain, Red Hair Shanks, and Whitebeard Newgate on that route!

So, let’s start to go back now. I have to see the red-haired girl no matter what!

In order to meet him, I have practiced greeting him countless times over the years!"

Having said that, Ace pressed his hat and looked towards the distant sky.

His mind was filled with memories of his childhood in Windmill Village.

At that time, when Makino, the owner of the Windmill Tavern, was teaching him and Luffy etiquette, he specifically asked Makino how to greet Red Hair!

Now that I have gone out to sea, I can put all the things I learned to use!

At the same time, Ace remembered something special.

In addition to the red-haired guy who saved Luffy, he also has to meet someone more important.

That was...his father's former deputy captain, Pluto Rayleigh!

He wanted to have a good talk with his father's former deputy captain in person, first of all to talk about what kind of guy his father was.

As for the second...

He wants to talk about why Rayleigh boarded someone else's ship!!!

While Ace was lost in thought, Deuce beside him widened his eyes and looked at the sea behind him.

"Hey, Ace, there's a navy ship approaching!

It looks like it belongs to that vicious woman!

Isn't she a second lieutenant of the East China Sea? Why did she come to the Grand Line?

Ah, this person is just haunting me!!!"

As he spoke, Ace's ship turned around quickly and rushed towards the navy ship.

Looking at the oncoming ship, Ace jumped up and then suddenly released a huge fireball that was tens of meters in size.

"Flame acceleration mode, activate!"

Ace let out a loud roar, and then, relying on the flames gathered at the stern, his ship quickly passed by the navy ship!

At the same time, on the bow of the navy ship, a beautiful female navy with orange-red hair angrily cursed at the Spade Pirates who passed by.

"Damn it, after getting the Flame-Flame Fruit, that guy ran away even faster!"

After muttering to herself, the female marine raised her sword and shouted at Ace.

"Fire Fist, don't run away if you have the guts, come here and take my blow, you bastard!"

“Haha, how is that possible? I just fall asleep often, I’m not really an idiot!

In short, I'm going to change to the route of Whiskey Peak and have a good fight with Xuanniao Gawain!

Goodbye, Iska, haha!!!"

Amidst loud laughter, Ace's ship disappeared in a flash, leaving Iska standing on her ship with an angry face!

Beside her, the marines under her charge came closer.

“Lieutenant Iska, that Fire Fist Ace seems to have told us their next target.

So what should we do, should we continue chasing after him?"

"Of course!"

Iska nodded quickly.

“He’s going to meet that Gao Wensheng. What a rash decision!

Even if Gao Wensheng, who had fought against Whitebeard and Red Hair successively, didn't take action, Sister Gion beside Gao Wensheng would kill him with one sword! "

Having said that, Iska quickly gave orders to her subordinates.

"Everyone, turn and speed up, we have to reach Gaya Island before Fire Fist Ace is chopped to death by Vice Admiral Gion!

Only I can capture the Fire Fist myself, because he is my nemesis!!!"

Following Iska's order, his ship quickly turned around and chased after Ace.

……

……

……

At the same time, in Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

King Cobra looked at the drought alerts coming from all over the country and became extremely depressed.

"Hey!"

With a deep sigh, Cobra put the drought alarm aside. Then, he planned to hold a meeting with his subjects as usual.

But, a sudden newspaper interrupted him.

Looking at the newspaper brought by the servant showing the confrontation between Gawain and Red Hair, Cobra swallowed hard!

There has been so much information about drought in the country recently that he almost forgot about another upcoming trouble!

That Gao Wensheng said that he would visit Alabasta in the near future for an inspection!

So, in the current situation in Alabasta where there is no rain in the whole country and water shortage has lasted for more than six months, to the point where people are about to kill each other for a mouthful of water...

How can we possibly do a good job of welcoming the Celestial Dragons!

Thinking of this, Cobra was at a loss. He held his head in frustration and paused in front of his desk for a long time.

Until his daughter broke into his room!

Vivi, who has long blue hair and is only thirteen years old, held a handful of pudding and used her head to knock open Cobra's door.

"Father, why didn't you attend the breakfast?

But it’s okay, I brought pudding for you, all in my favorite flavors!

Father...?"

At this point, Vivi couldn't help but notice Cobra's worried look. She could probably understand the reason for Cobra's anxiety, so she came to Cobra worriedly.

Reaching out to pick up the briefing and newspaper on the desk, and after taking a look at each, Vivi grabbed Cobra's sleeve.

"Father, are you still worried about the drought?"

"Yeah, hey..."

Cobra let out a long breath, then he gently rubbed his daughter's head.

"For six months, no rain has fallen in our country except in the capital, Albania!

The six-month-long super drought has made desertification around the country more serious.

Water shortages are already occurring across the country, and food shortages will soon follow.

The most important thing is that some cities have already shown signs of rebellion, all because of the water source!"

Cobra was not afraid to say this to Vivi, because he had always been training Vivi according to the standards of training an heir.

As his only daughter, Vivi was destined to be the future queen of Alabasta, so his training of Vivi was equivalent to that of a prince, rather than an ordinary lady's education.

On the side, hearing Cobra's words, Vivi tilted her head slightly.

She kept thinking about all the information she knew.

But no matter how hard she searched, she could not find a solution to the water shortage with the knowledge she had learned.

After all, Alabasta has never had weather like this in the thousands of years since its founding!

So, after thinking it over, Vivi could only tentatively say it to Cobra.

"Father, can we ask for help from Marijoa and ask them to provide us with enough fresh water and vegetables?"

"Humph, don't even think about it!"

As soon as Weiwei finished speaking, Cobra spoke to his daughter seriously.

“Remember, Weiwei, even though we are all descendants of the twenty kings who founded the world, just like them!

But ever since our ancestors chose to stay in Alabasta, we have become completely different from them!

They won’t give us their fresh water and vegetables for nothing!

If I make a similar request to the World Government, the amount of Heavenly Gold we will need to bear this year will be countless times more than the basic Heavenly Gold amount!

But the problem is, with our current national conditions, it is difficult for us to even raise enough money for the basic heavenly gold!

Therefore, there is no possibility for us to get support from the world government, because we no longer have the money to ask for their support!"

"Is it……?"

After hearing her father's words, Vivi gently showed the newspaper in her hand to Cobra.

She pointed expectantly at Gao Wen in the newspaper.

"Father, won't Gao Wensheng be visiting Alabasta soon? In that case, we can make a request to him individually when he arrives!

This Gao Wensheng once helped the Fishman Island realize its dream of landing on land. Just a few days ago, he also cleared the name of Rolando, the adventurer who had been misunderstood by the sea for four hundred years!

Look, Gao Wensheng must be a kind-hearted person who is willing to provide so much help to others!

I think if we ask him for help, he will definitely help us in Marijoa, right?"

"this……?!!"

Hearing this, even Cobra seemed to have an epiphany. He tapped his head in thought.

"Wait, let me think about it, I really didn't think of this question before!

In the past, I just thought of him as a trouble because I saw him as a traditional Celestial Dragon!

Since Gao Wensheng has helped many countries, what if we let him return to Alabasta satisfied with his trip?

He will surely be willing to arrange for some food and water for us as aid!"

Having said that, Cobra finally became excited and rubbed his daughter's hair happily.

Children really have a different perspective on the world. He always looks at Gao Wensheng’s identity as a celestial dragon first, but children look at Gao Wensheng’s actions!

Although it is not known how much treasure Fishman Island paid in exchange for Gao Wensheng's help.

But whatever the Fishman Island has, his Nafertari clan definitely has no shortage of!

As for the Little Mermaid, Cobra didn't take it to heart. After all, in his opinion, the Little Mermaid becoming Gawain's fiancée was obviously a huge step up for the mermaid!

If Gao Wensheng really has to pay the price of a princess in order to lend a helping hand, Cobra will definitely agree.

After all, in order to protect a girl, Gawain was willing to personally fight against a big pirate like Red Hair (newspaper propaganda), and he is also very handsome, and is a world noble who is very good to women!

Although he only has one daughter, if Gawain can marry his daughter, then his grandson will be a celestial dragon!

As for the heir to the country of Alabasta, we only need to choose one from the children of Gawain and Vivi.

Alabasta was founded thousands of years ago, and when there was no world government, they were one of the great powers.

There have been various precedents for various troubles regarding inheritance rights within Alabasta!

As for whether Vivi will face the threat from the mermaid princess?
