As a typical desert country, Alabasta does not receive enough rainfall, so except for the gardens of the royal palace, there are almost no green plants in the entire capital.
Especially those precious and delicate flowers cannot adapt to the desert environment with huge temperature difference between day and night.
Therefore, most of the plants planted in the garden are drought-tolerant prickly pear and cacti, some of which are rare varieties blooming with colorful flowers, exuding a faint fragrance to the surroundings.
Allen was standing among these interesting plants at the moment. His short silver hair reflected a strange halo under the sunlight, and he had a faintly charming smile on his face. Coupled with his exquisite facial features, Princess Vivi, who had just approached, felt his heart beat faster, and his originally elegant movements became a little helpless.
Just when she felt embarrassed and embarrassed by her gaffe and wanted to turn around and leave, Allen suddenly said, "If you don't ask anything, then everything King Cobra has painstakingly arranged will be in vain."
"Huh? You... you know?!"
Princess Vivi is like a frightened little rabbit, the skin above the neck has all turned shy pink.
"Well! This is part of the deal between me and him. So please don't be nervous, because answering your questions is my obligation."
With that said, Allen turned around and began to look at the desert princess with long blue hair with great interest.
Because the senior officials, including Revolutionary Army leader Long, were working with Nicole Robin to interpret the Poneglyph, the palace seemed particularly empty today.
In addition, he had just learned that the Navy had begun preparing to launch "Summit War", so he was in a pretty good mood.
"Transaction?" Princess Vivi keenly grasped a key word.
Allen nodded lightly. "That's right! Your father voluntarily gave up his rights, cooperated with the Revolutionary Army to launch an unprecedented change in Alabasta, and also deceived World Government and the navy as King. In return, I will try my best to meet his requirements on a personal level, which naturally includes you, the princess."
"I don't understand... why would a New World Pirate Emperor like you cooperate with the Revolutionary Army? Aren't you also a King of the same country?" Princess Vivi quickly asked the first question that bothered him.
In her opinion, Utopia is essentially a Kingdom, and the man in front of her is the well-deserved king.
But what about revolution?
Revolutionary Army's goal is to overthrow the entire aristocratic class!
No matter how you look at it, both sides should be enemies.
"King? No! I think you seem to have made something wrong. I have never been a King, and I have no interest in being a King. The so-called Utopia is essentially just It's just a model I use to show the world another system and possibility, and at the same time point the way for the Revolutionary Army to replace the Celestial Dragons regime, nothing more," Allen replied casually.
"Another system? You mean the one where there are no King and nobility, and the people manage themselves?"
As soon as politics was mentioned, Princess Vivi's whole temperament immediately changed.
Obviously, compared to following Luffy and others to become a One Piece, she is more keen on realizing her inner ideals and ambitions.
Allen was keenly aware of this and immediately showed a playful smile, "Yes! Don't you think it is a very stupid thing to rely on blood relations to pass on rights? Look at how many wise and great people in this world King Their descendants eventually became mediocre kings and tyrants? The most obvious one is the nobles Celestial Dragons who have been living in Holy Land for eight hundred years. How arrogant!
"So... you replaced the nobility with parliament to manage the country." Princess Vivi rubbed his chin in thought.
"Yes! Although the parliament is also full of all kinds of contradictions and problems, it is definitely much better than the fate of thousands of ordinary people being decided by a few or even dozens of people. If you want to find a place to display your management talents, I welcome you to Utopia. No one here will care about your identity as a princess, only your ability. What do you think, do you want to give it a try?" Allen smiled and extended the invitation.
He is very clear that the girl in front of him who looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old is actually one of the few outstanding politicians in the world, and she rules Utopia on his behalf.
"Me?!"
Princess Vivi opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe what he heard.
You must know that she had made up her mind before coming here, planning to go out to sea with Straw Hat Crew for adventure and experience that exciting and exciting life.
But what she never expected was that there was now another completely different option.
"Yes! It's you! Although Revolutionary Army deprived you of the possibility of controlling the rights in Alabasta, it did not stop you from going to other places and using your talents to benefit one party. Tell me, in the deepest part of your heart, don't you feel unwilling to do so? Don't you want to prove your ability to rule? If you want, then Come to Utopia, where we can help you realize your dreams. Of course, before that, you can join Luffy and become One Piece for a while, although in my opinion, they are not One Piece at all, they are just a group of simple adventurers."
When saying this, Allen's eyes never left the guy not far away who had eaten himself into a ball but still had no intention of stopping.
"Haha, aren't you also said to be the One Piece who is least like One Piece?"
Realizing that he didn't have to make a choice in a hurry, Princess Vivi immediately relaxed a lot and was even in the mood to joke.
"No, they are different from me. After all, my goal is to destroy World Government and kill all Celestial Dragons. Based on this alone, I am the most vicious One Piece in history, bar none." Allen explained meaningfully.
Just when Princess Vivi was about to say something, Kalifa, wearing a black short skirt, suddenly appeared out of thin air and reported in a lowered voice, "BOSS! The two people you asked us to pay attention to, Joe Ellie Bonney and Trafalgar Law, have now appeared!"
"Oh? Where are they now?" An expression of interest suddenly appeared on Allen's face.
"The latter appeared near Water 7 a week ago, and the latter has just landed at the port of Alabasta. It seems that it was also attracted by Pluton Blueprint." Kalifa gave the answer without thinking.
"Qiao Ellie Bonney is in Alabasta? What an unexpected surprise! In that case, I will go there myself and meet this big-stomach woman and her peculiar Devil Fruit ability."
As the last word blurted out, Allen turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a burnt black trace...
