67: Chapter 66 Alabasta Epilogue (Part 2) The King's Speech, New Companions on Board!In the early morning, the first ray of dazzling morning light shines on the city.
The square in front of the palace is already crowded with eagerly awaited people.Today is the day when King Cobra will announce an important speech.
Luffy and his crew arrived as scheduled.King Cobra stood on the platform and raised the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi.
"Citizens of the Kingdom of Alabasta, welcome.I am King Nefertari Cobra."
"First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to all the people of the Kingdom of Alabasta.Until now, due to the king's incompetence, we have been unable to stop Crocodile's conspiracy and ambition, and we have been unable to stop the monopoly of Baroque Works."
King Cobra first bowed deeply to the people below, and the people below shouted like a tsunami: "The king is right!The king saved us!"
Cobra pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to calm down, and then continued:
"Fortunately, after all of us going through arduous struggles, we have finally achieved the final victory!Baroque Works has been destroyed, Crocodile has been brought to justice!The dawn has arrived for our Kingdom of Alabasta!"
"In the past two years.my daughter, Weiwei, has gone on an adventure.It was a journey across a sea of darkness, seeking hope amidst despair.
The ocean beyond Alabasta is vast, with archipelagos of incredibly resilient life.things I've never seen before, a landscape like a dream.The music played by the waves is sometimes gentle and peaceful, as if to soothe the myriad emotions welling up in my heart.Other times, it's passionate, as if to tear apart my daughter's will, to mock her timidity.
It was in that turbulent storm that my daughter was rescued by a small boat.There was the captain, a mastermind, a man who worked tirelessly to carve out a future for his companions; the swordsman, who practiced daily, carrying tons of weights and always getting lost; the cook, who went to great lengths to prevent the captain from stealing the food stored in the refrigerator; the greedy navigator, who threw his pillow at my daughter after a sleepless night; the ship's doctor, who was always sarcastic but had excellent medical skills; the sniper, who loved to brag but whose every boast came true; and the taciturn, hardworking fighter.
The little boat kept cheering my daughter up, saying, "Can't you see that light?" Even in the darkness, that incredible little boat never lost its way.It leaped through the stormy waves, seemingly on a leap.Even when faced with strong waves, the boat kept its course, and even when faced with headwinds, it didn't turn.Then, pointing ahead, it said to my daughter, "Look, there's a light!" Although this legend may be dismissed as nonsense.for my daughter, it was the very truth.
"Even as a king, I often feel lost, hesitant, and helpless.But when I think of you, my people, I will receive infinite strength and create endless possibilities!"
"Perhaps our country has suffered many disasters in the past, but in the future, I, King Cobra, promise everyone that every tomorrow will be better!"
"Now that the Kingdom of Alabasta has been freed from its calamity, it is time for reconstruction.In the name of the King, I hereby issue a new decree to this nation for the benefit of its people—"
"The Kingdom of Alabasta has entered a new era.In this new era, the Kingdom will gradually build infrastructure that benefits the people, constructing transportation hubs and roads in various cities.We will develop education, ultimately ensuring that everyone has access to education.We will liberate and develop productivity, starting with agriculture and industry, to thoroughly resolve the difficulties facing the people's lives."
"The state will establish comprehensive laws, ensuring equality for all.If the king violates these laws, he will be guilty as well as the people.The specific details will be announced to each city shortly."
"From now on, the people of this country will be guided by the 12-character People's Covenant of [peace, development, freedom, equality, justice, and the rule of law].We will all have a bright future!"
King Cobra paused at this moment, and the people below waited with bated breath for what would happen next.
"In the past, the power of the [Sand-Sand Fruit] brought fear and suffering to countless citizens.From now on, the power of the [Sand-Sand Fruit] will become the pillar of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and together with all citizens, it will protect this country!"
King Cobra then demonstrated the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit, and cheers broke out in the kingdom.
"Finally, we would like to thank the Navy.Without their arrival, our country would have been in such a difficult situation.Furthermore, we would like to thank the Revolutionary Army for their selfless help.Because of them, the civil strife in the Kingdom of Alabasta has ended.From now on, the Kingdom of Alabasta will not be willing to antagonize the Revolutionary Army.We would also like to thank all the people from all walks of life who came to help the Kingdom of Alabasta and help us.They are equally selfless!
However, we need to be most grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates.They are partners in justice!It was their captain, Mr.Monkey D.Luffy, who killed Crocodile and helped us save this country together with his companions!
"I hereby declare Mr.Monkey D.Luffy to be our country's national hero!Let us give our warm applause and blessings to the hero!"
As King Cobra finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous cheers:
"The king is wise!"
"Thank you Navy!Thank you Revolutionary Army!"
"Mr.Monkey D.Luffy is our hero!"
…
After a long period of cheering, King Cobra continued:
"Our princess, Weiwei, has always walked alongside the heroes and received much help from them.She is no longer timid, no longer confused, no longer weak.Her growth is obvious to all!From now on, Princess Weiwei may once again set sail with the heroes and embark on adventures together.Let us sincerely wish the princess all the best!"
The people cheered again.In their eyes, Princess Vivi was also a hero!
…
In a house in the corner, three people wearing masksThe mysterious man in the tool whispered:
"King Cobra seems to be getting close to the Revolutionary Army.He needs to be punished."
"The Straw Hat Adventure Group?They might be dangerous."
"There seems to be traces of the [Devil's Son] here."
Suddenly, an indescribable pressure pinned them to the ground.
"You seem to be officials of the World Government?Are you lackeys of the Celestial Dragons?Please do not cause trouble in this country."
He smiled and stroked his sword, coming quietly.
"A powerful hidden master?Who are you?What force do you belong to?" The three CP organization members were horrified.This pressure was no weaker than that of a navy admiral.
After a smile, he thought that there was no need to reveal his identity at this stage: "Haha, it's nothing to worry about.I'm just a wanderer."
CP0: Not worth mentioning?
"We have no ill intentions!Our mission here has been completed.Since you are here, we will leave."
CP0 felt the pressure was getting heavier and he immediately gave in.
————————
After Cobra's speech, he came to Mr.Dorag's residence.
Dorag smiled and said, "King Cobra, there's no need to explain.You all understand."
Cobra: "Perhaps.our Nefertari clan is also [D]."
…
This conversation was extremely secretive and no one knew what they talked about.
————————
The Straw Hat Adventurers' journey in Alabasta has come to an end, and they have gradually boarded the Golden Merry.
"Let's go!Let's set sail!You two!" Luffy turned around and gave the two people behind him his signature smile.
The two looked at each other, and the crew members who had already boarded the ship also looked at them with eager eyes.
"We're partners!"
"Of course!We'll never separate!"
Merry: "Welcome, Miss Nico Robin and Miss Nefertari Vivi!I am Merry, the ship spirit of the Merry!"
