King Cobra, in his drunken dream, poured out all his heartfelt thoughts.
"Is this the legendary mass urging marriage (marriage urging) scene?"
Nami, Kuina, and Miss Tohru all looked at Vivi in unison.
"Wah-ah-ah!"
Vivi's face instantly turned bright red.
What kind of father is in such a hurry to marry off his daughter?
To prevent Cobra from speaking nonsense further, Vivi quickly ordered the maids to take her rambling old father back to his room to rest.
On the other side,
Roland's group, full and satisfied, were led by Vivi to the grand bathhouse of the palace, where they enjoyed a nice hot bath.
The young girls, like orioles and swallows, played around in the women's bathhouse, full of vitality and beautiful spring scenery.
In contrast, the men's bathhouse next door seemed much quieter, with only Roland enjoying it alone.
However...
Soon, he wouldn't be alone.
Amidst the misty, hazy steam, a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere.
The sound of splashing water followed.
It was as if a mermaid swam beneath the bathwater.
In a daze, Roland felt a certain part of his body completely enveloped by something warm.
Miss Tohru bathhouse new scene, unlocked successfully!!!
At the same time,
In the girls' bathhouse next door,
"Huh, where's Miss Tohru? How is Miss Tohru gone again?"
Vivi, who was playing with Nami, asked in surprise. This wasn't the first time this had happened.
"Don't worry, just listen carefully~"
Nami had an expression as if she saw through everything.
Gurgle gurgle~
Kuina's half-submerged head was in the water.
Her big eyes occasionally glanced at the white floating on the surface.
Vivi blinked her eyes and, as instructed, perked up her ears to listen.
A moment later,
"Mmm."
Vivi, understanding everything, blushed again.
In her mind, the scene of Roland treating her that day unconsciously resurfaced.
For a moment, her body involuntarily heated up, giving rise to a strange, inexplicable feeling.
...
...
As the sun set,
And night fell,
A warship docked at Alabasta's Nanohana Port.
"Captain Hina, the situation is mostly clear. Shichibukai Crocodile's coup plot has been foiled, and King Cobra and Princess Vivi are all safe and sound!"
A Marine soldier reported.
"Oh?"
Captain Hina, a mature woman with brown sunglasses and long pink hair, raised an eyebrow slightly.
The Shichibukai are one of the three great powers in this world. As a Marine Captain, Hina naturally knew how powerful the Shichibukai were.
With her strength, she was no match for Crocodile, and might not even last a few moves.
Moreover, besides Crocodile, the high-ranking agents of Baroque Works were not to be underestimated.
Hina had already prepared for the worst, but she never expected... the situation to reverse.
"What exactly happened? Who defeated Crocodile, or did he realize his plot was exposed and retreat with his team?"
Hina asked.
"No... The specific situation has not been clarified yet. According to the Kingdom Army soldiers, it seems to be related to the friend Princess Vivi brought back from overseas!"
The Marine said uncertainly.
"I understand. Prepare to visit the palace first thing tomorrow morning!"
Hina waved her hand.
The next day,
At nine in the morning,
King Cobra received Hina at the temporary palace.
Although the Shichibukai are an organization under the Government,
The Shichibukai are the Shichibukai, and the Marines are the Marines.
King Cobra would not vent his anger towards the Marines because of Crocodile's actions.
Furthermore, Hina was also an old acquaintance; she had participated in escort duties during the previous two World Conferences.
Of course, knowing each other was one thing, but to discuss this incident, Hina's rank was slightly insufficient.
Regarding Hina's question about who defeated Crocodile, Cobra did not answer directly.
He simply briefly explained Crocodile's plan of action and their countermeasures.
At the end of the conversation, Hina proposed taking custody of Crocodile and his group to send them to the Marine prison.
Cobra also refused, stating that he wanted to publicly execute Crocodile to give the citizens an explanation.
"I understand!"
Hina nodded and did not insist.
She had probably guessed that her proposal would not be accepted.
She was just here to scout ahead and test the waters; everything would have to wait until Vice Admiral Tsuru arrived.
After agreeing to visit again later, Hina left, escorted by Igaram.
Just then,
"Vivi, you secretly went to the Captain's room last night, didn't you?"
