Off to Cocoyasi Village!

"Princess Vivi is undoubtedly an outstanding woman, but I believe we should respect each other's choices instead of being bound by external expectations!"

Haku's inner monologue, however, was. "You old geezer! Trying to tie me to Alabasta? No way!"

Cobra frowned; he was clearly not satisfied with Haku's answer. However, he also knew that Haku's strength and status were not to be underestimated. So, he changed his strategy, trying to persuade Haku in a more approachable way.

"Haku, I understand your thoughts. But you know, a political marriage isn't just a matter between two people; it concerns the peace and prosperity of two countries. Vivi is my beloved daughter, and her happiness is of utmost importance to me. I believe that if you give her a chance, a deep affection will surely develop between you."

Cobra: Damn it! You got away, and now what do we do when an even tougher enemy Bicrocodile appears!

Haku listened to Cobra's words, a cold smile playing on his lips. He knew the King's scheme, and understood that the other party wanted to tie him to his side.

However, Haku is not someone who compromises easily; she has her own principles and convictions.

"Your King, I understand your concerns. But matters of the heart cannot be forced. Princess Vivi is an excellent woman, and I hold her in high esteem. However, this does not mean I must accept this marriage. I respect Vivi's choice, and I ask that you respect my decision as well."

Haku's words were firm and powerful, causing Cobra to frown. He realized that this young man was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined. Haku not only possessed great strength, but also independent thinking and a firm will.

Cobra took a deep breath, trying to calm his dissatisfaction and anxiety. He knew he couldn't easily give up on this plan, after all, it concerned the Future and stability of Alabasta. So, he spoke again, trying to persuade Haku with a more sincere tone.

And so, to everyone's surprise, Haku and Cobra, the two foxes, started bickering!

This scene left all the ministers present, who had come to discuss the aftermath of the Alabasta crisis, somewhat silent!

Among those present, only Vivi blushed because of the unreserved conversation between Haku and Cobra.

Princess Vivi felt both embarrassed and helpless watching the rivalry between Cobra and Haku.

She knew her father was acting in the best interests of the country, but his methods still made her very uncomfortable. She looked at Haku, a hint of apology and gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Haku didn't notice Vivi's gaze; he was completely focused on confronting Cobra!

After a short period of time, Haku finally completed his so-called mission in Alabasta and embarked on his journey to find his two Zanpakuto!

However, things didn't go as planned. He had barely set off when his Den Den Den Mushi rang!

"You brat, I heard you foiled Crocodile's plot to steal the entire Alabasta Kingdom and arrested him? So you're pretty close to the East Blue now!"

The caller was none other than Fleet Admiral Sengoku was stationed at Marine Headquarters!

Haku was slightly taken aback, not expecting Fleet Admiral Sengoku to contact him first. He quickly gathered his thoughts and replied, "Yes, Fleet Admiral. I have indeed just completed the arrest of Crocodile and am currently quite close to the East Blue."

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku's voice betrayed a hint of impatience as he said, "Very well, you immediately head to Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue. There's a group of Fish-Man there who were attacked by your brat..."

Upon hearing what Sengoku said, Haku couldn't help but smile!

"You brat, what are you laughing at! Do you know this brat is a troublemaker? He's caused so much trouble now. There's a 30 million Belly on his head!" Sengoku said, displeased.

Haku knew the other person was having a headache right now, because Luffy, the protagonist, was Marine Vice Admiral Garp's grandson!

After learning that Luffy the wanted list, both Sengoku and Garp were dealing with this troublesome problem!

However, it was too late to remove Luffy's bounty; Haku knew that his bounty would skyrocket soon!

"Did you hear me, you brat?!" Sengoku asked directly after waiting for a while without getting a reply from Haku.

For the Ark, Haku the East Blue would only take a short time, so he answered without hesitation, "Understood, Fleet Admiral. I will head to Cocoyasi Village immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Haku immediately changed her course and headed at full speed to Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue China Sea.

As for the issue of the two Zanpakuto, Haku planned to put it aside for the time being.

From the route he had taken, he already knew where the two Zanpakuto were.

Haku plans to wait until she reaches the East Blue, then escort all the Fish-Man onto a ship before heading to Drum Island to find her two Zanpakuto!

Within a few days, Haku's ship successfully arrived at Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue. As soon as it docked, he felt that the town had a completely different atmosphere from Alabasta. There was a bustling market, crowds of people, and marine elements everywhere.

In particular, the relieved smiles on the faces of the villagers made Haku smile slightly.

He didn't linger and went straight to the location the villagers had mentioned—a chaotic dock area where a large number of Fish-Man gathered. It was thus known to the Fish-Man as 'Arlong Park'.

However, Arlong Park is now completely destroyed. It's obvious that this was caused by Luffy's battle with that guy named Arlong!

Haku led her navy forward and soon made contact with Colonel Nezumi nearby!

Colonel Nezumi saw Haku, a flicker of fear and apprehension crossed his eyes. He knew how famous Haku was in the Navy, and he was also aware of her strength and status.

Standing before Haku, he felt nervous and uneasy, fearing his secret would be exposed!

"Rear Admiral Haku, what brings you here in person?" Colonel Nezumi quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully.

Haku gave a knowing smile and said, "I heard there were some Fish-Man matters to deal with here, so I came to take a look."

Upon hearing Colonel Nezumi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Haku hadn't come to hold him accountable, and assumed she was there to help him deal with the Fish-Man problem.

"Yes, Rear Admiral. The Fish-Man here are indeed a problem. They oppress the villagers and commit all sorts of evil deeds. I have requested reinforcements from headquarters, but have not received a reply yet," Colonel Nezumi said.
