Just as Zhong Chen rescued Cobra, Luffy and the others were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Baroque Works members.
However, this time, due to Zhong Chen's involvement, Vivi still hadn't found Cobra.
So, there was no meeting between Vivi and Crocodile; instead, she went directly to the rebel camp to find Kohza.
"Kohza, listen to me! This is all Crocodile's conspiracy!"
"He sent people to impersonate my father and issue orders!"
Vivi anxiously explained everything to Kohza.
Kohza, however, looked at Vivi with a solemn expression, his face growing darker as Vivi spoke.
Deep down, he believed Vivi, because he knew very well what kind of person Vivi was.
But if all of this was Crocodile's conspiracy, then it was truly terrifying.
The entire country was being played for fools, and if Vivi hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have gone to war with the Royal Army.
At that point, both sides would surely fight to the death.
But the biggest problem now was the lack of evidence to prove that the King had been impersonated.
"Vivi, even if I want to believe you, there's no evidence for any of this!"
"Kohza, I need time now. As long as you can keep the rebels from attacking, I can find the evidence!"
Kohza thought for a moment and then said:
"I can buy you one day at most. After that, I might not be able to control them anymore!"
"So, if you want to do anything, you must be quick!"
Hearing that Kohza could buy her a day, Vivi was overjoyed; this amount of time was enough for her to end everything.
"That's great, thank you, Kohza! This time is enough!"
"No need to be polite with me, Vivi. Mainly, I also don't believe His Majesty the King would issue such an order!"
"Alright, go quickly!"
"Mhm!"
With that, Vivi put her hood back on and walked out of the tent.
Watching Vivi's retreating back, Kohza shouted outside:
"Someone!"
"Commander-in-Chief!"
A guard at the door saluted and asked.
"Notify everyone to come here for a military discussion!"
"Yes!"
..."Your Excellency Zhong Chen, thank you for saving me! But please forgive me for not being able to thank you properly at this moment!"
"The domestic situation truly doesn't allow me to stay here any longer!"
Cobra, who had just finished receiving treatment, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Zhong Chen.
Zhong Chen waved his hand with a smile and said:
"Whatever, go if you want to. Crocodile is gone anyway!"
"My deepest thanks!"
With that, Cobra walked out with heavy steps.
"Your Majesty!!!"
"Jackal!!!"
Cobra looked at Jackal, who had found him, with a look of pleasant surprise.
"Your Majesty, I finally found you! I'm glad you're alright!"
"Sigh! It's a long story! Let's talk as we go. The main task now is to stop Kohza and quell this domestic unrest!"
Cobra said to Jackal with an expression of one who had narrowly escaped death.
"Yes! Your Majesty, these people are?"
Jackal looked at the strange group behind Cobra. Why strange, you ask?
After all, hundreds of people, most of them children, and many green-skinned guys—it just didn't look right.
"They are my saviors. I'll explain later, let's go first!"
With that, Cobra walked out, and Jackal quickly followed him.
"Oh, it seems the Alabasta rebellion is about to end, but your internship probably won't be easy to complete!"
Zhong Chen looked at the two leaving and said to the many little ones standing beside him with a gloating expression.
"Hmph! I've noticed, wherever Chen Gege is, it's never peaceful!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"If this internship doesn't go well, Teacher Shizu will definitely lecture us!"
"It's all Chen Gege's fault!"
Zhong Chen, suddenly accused by the many little ones, went from gloating to dumbfounded.
"What? Don't make it sound like I'm a jinx. Even without me, it would be chaotic here anyway!"
"I think they're right! Wherever Master appears, chaos ensues!"
A silver-haired figure in a maid outfit suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Oh! Sakuya, you're back! How did things go?"
Looking at Izayoi Sakuya's return, Zhong Chen was truly overjoyed.
"I didn't fail! It's all here!"
Saying that, Sakuya took out a camera and handed it to Zhong Chen.
It turned out that as soon as they arrived in the capital, Zhong Chen had asked Sakuya to take the camera and film the Straw Hat Pirates fighting the Baroque Works.
He had no other intentions, just a simple desire to collect classic battles.
Zhong Chen opened the camera, watched the various battle scenes inside, nodded in satisfaction, and put it into his system space.
[Ding! Dimensional Gate fully charged. Begin anchoring world coordinates?]
[Oh, it's ready again! Let's start anchoring then!]
[Ding, anchoring world coordinates...]
[Ding, world coordinates successfully anchored! Based on Host's memory retrieval, the current world is "Girls' Last Tour." Host, would you like to begin crossing over?]
[It's actually this world!]
Zhong Chen was surprised to see it was this world.
The first image that came to his mind was two little girls driving a half-track motorcycle through a snowy landscape.
The story of the world of Girls' Last Tour is actually very simple.
It's about a world completely devastated by prolonged war, with life almost entirely extinct.
The protagonists are two young girls, estimated to be between 16 and 18 years old, one named Chito and the other named Yuri.
The two constantly search for supplies in a spiraling city and try to find a way to the top level.
Because their grandfather heard that humans still lived on the city's top level, a rumored utopia.
In the final chapter of the manga, the two successfully reached the city's top level, only to find it completely white and empty.
Seeing this, the two concealed their inner despair.
After a wild outburst, the two ate their last rations, embraced, and fell asleep in the snow.
"Oh, it looks like the savior is going to be dispatched again!"
Zhong Chen couldn't help but smile, thinking about saving the two little ones this time.
"A Chen! What savior? Aren't you the Great Demon King?"
Milim looked at Zhong Chen with a puzzled expression after hearing his words.
"Milim, that's slander, blatant slander! How can you call such a morally upright young man like me a Great Demon King?!"
"You're the Demon King! Your whole family are Demon Kings!"
Milim looked at Zhong Chen, who suddenly jumped up as if hit a sore spot, and proudly declared loudly:
"I am the Demon King! I am Demon King Milim! Wahahahahaha!!!"
"Uh... this...!"
Looking at Milim, who was laughing with her hands on her hips, Zhong Chen covered his forehead, realizing his miscalculation. He had forgotten that this guy was indeed a Demon King, and the oldest one at that.
"Alright, alright, you win!"
"A Chen! Have you discovered a new world again?"
Rimuru suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhong Chen with an expectant expression, asking.
"You're still the smart one, aren't you? That's right, but this time, Sakuya and I can go by ourselves!"
"That world has nothing of value! Do you know 'Girls' Last Tour'?"
Rimuru searched her memories for a moment and then shook her head.
"Then it's possible that your world doesn't have this anime!"
"Perhaps!"
Rimuru nodded after hearing Zhong Chen's words.
"Let's go, let's go see the touching scene of father and daughter reuniting, and by the way, ask Vivi for a reward..."
