Now she could only place all her hopes on Reno.
"Don't worry." Reno gave Vivi a reassuring look. "Letting Robin negotiate with them is just an attempt to resolve the conflict peacefully. If that doesn't work, we'll have to resort to violence."
As he spoke, Reno glanced at his own status panel.

(Haki levels are divided into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top)
According to the cultivation methods in the Three Types of Haki Manual, Reno's three types of Haki had successfully broken through from Beginner to Intermediate.
Especially using the Dream Cultivation Method to train Conqueror's Haki—it was incredibly effective.
Though he still had a considerable distance to go before reaching Conqueror's Haki Infusion, dealing with a mere few hundred thousand Rebel Army soldiers was a sure thing.
In a daze, Reno felt the grip on his arm tighten. "Brother Reno, if possible, could you not use thunder and lightning on them?"
Vivi looked at him with some difficulty.
If Reno unleashed his Lightning Power, a lot of people would die.
Although they were the Rebel Army, at the end of the day, they were just ordinary people deceived by Crocodile.
"I don't plan to hurt them. I'll just knock them out with Conqueror's Haki." Seeing Vivi's flustered expression, Reno couldn't help but laugh.
Vivi finally understood, recalling how In the Past, when Reno gave her two Haki Fruits, he had given her a Popular Science lesson on Conqueror's Haki.
After replaying it in her mind, her expression eased a little.
"Reno, we'll have to trouble you again this time." Cobra's tone carried a hint of apology.
First Crocodile, then the Rebel Army.
These were all matters of the royal family, yet they had to rely on Reno—it made them feel somewhat ashamed.
"It's fine. Compared to what Vivi has given me, these are just small matters." Reno waved his hand again.
Cobra was baffled.
What Vivi gave him?!
Alabasta was dirt poor right now—what could Reno possibly find valuable here?!
Realizing what was said, Vivi immediately lowered her head, avoiding Cobra's gaze, pretending nothing was wrong.
But inside, she was grumbling.
Brother Reno, why do you have to say everything?!
"His Majesty the King!!" Just then, a hurried voice came from outside the door.
Captain Igaram rushed in and immediately bowed to Cobra.
"Get up quickly." Cobra snapped out of his thoughts and asked urgently, "What's the situation with the Rebel Army?!!"
Igaram's face was grim as he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, according to intelligence from over there, the Rebel Army has assembled. They've already set out from Kataraya. At their current marching speed, they're expected to reach the Royal Capital in two to three days!!"
Cobra's face darkened, and he gave orders decisively: "Notify Bello and Chaka immediately. Gather all the Royal Army and prepare in advance."
"Yes, Your Majesty!!" Igaram accepted the order and left at once.
Though Cobra trusted Reno, as the king of Alabasta, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing in the face of the Rebel Army.
Once Igaram left the palace, Cobra looked at Reno again.
He asked tentatively, "Reno, after the matter in Alabasta is settled, are you going to leave here?!!"
Reno nodded.
"That's right. Once the Rebel Army is dealt with and the Dancing Powder is washed clean, I'll take them and leave."
By his estimate, it would be in a few days.
Cobra glanced subtly at Vivi, hesitated for a while, then spoke with difficulty, "And what about Vivi?!!"
"Vivi is my crewmate now, so I'm definitely taking her away." Reno's tone was firm.
Cobra's face immediately showed difficulty.
He had already sensed something about Reno and Vivi.
As a father, he wouldn't interfere with Vivi's choices, especially since Reno was a hero of Alabasta.
But...
"Father King, do you have something to say?!" Vivi looked at Cobra in confusion.
Cobra let out a helpless sigh. "Reno, to be honest with you, these years of running Alabasta have worn my body down. I'm getting worse day by day."
"I understand you want to take Vivi away, but she's my only child, and also Alabasta's princess. If one day I were to..."
Shwoosh!!!
Before he could finish, Reno teleported directly behind Cobra.
Healing Power activated instantly, a soft glow enveloping Cobra's body.
Cobra Widened His Eyes, a glint of disbelief flashing in them.
In just a few seconds, he felt the discomfort in his body rapidly fading, even his years of incurable disease were cured.
"I've healed all your old ailments. You don't need to worry anymore. Just focus on being king—your citizens still need you."
"As for Vivi, I'll treat her well."
It all happened so suddenly that Cobra was still dazed when Reno finished speaking.
Puchi
Vivi couldn't help but laugh.
She was happy that Cobra's illness was cured.
Now she could follow Reno on adventures without any worries.
Coming back to his senses, Cobra forced a faint smile. He first checked his condition—just as Reno said, his old ailments were completely gone, and his energy was much fuller.
Sigh. Another ability he couldn't understand.
Cobra Looked towards Vivi, who was gazing tenderly at Reno, and could only shake his head helplessly.
Daughters really don't stay.
Another Side.
To deal with the approaching hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army troops, under King Cobra's orders, tens of thousands of residents near the City Wall were evacuated to safe zones in just two days.
Day three.
With the earth trembling and warhorses roaring, the hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army, filled with blazing anger and hatred, finally arrived at the Royal Capital.
"Charge in, grab Cobra!!!"
"The Royal Army must Pay the Price!!!"
"Avenge Leader Koza!!!"
"Kill them all!!!"
"..."
The hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army were furious; Everyone had lost their reason over Koza's death.
Combined with the anger they'd built up before, it all exploded at This Moment.
Since Cobra gave them no way out, they'd strike first—kill all the Royal Army and execute Cobra.
Reno stood on the City Wall, looking down at the Rebel Army charging from afar.
Behind him stood Cobra, Vivi, and several ministers of Alabasta.
Though they trusted Reno's words completely, seeing the hundreds of thousands of troops surging forward still sent chills down their spines.
As the enemy drew closer, the sounds of battle and roars echoed across the Sky Above the Royal Capital.
Tens of thousands of auras were all filled with undisguised hatred and anger.
"Cobra, get down here!!!"
A voice full of Killing Intent rang out from the front. A commander on a fast horse pointed his long blade at Cobra.
Hearing him, all the rebels Looked up, their gazes locking onto Cobra.
Stared at by hundreds of thousands of bloodthirsty eyes, Cobra's body trembled.
"Your Majesty." Quick-eyed Igaram immediately steadied Cobra.
"I'm fine." Cobra waved his hand.
"Brother Reno, it's up to you." Vivi looked at Reno nervously.
Reno smiled faintly, ruffling Vivi's hair. "Don't worry."
With that, Reno immediately activated Observation Haki, enveloping all the Rebel Army.
Next Second, his eyes suddenly snapped wide.
In an instant, a domineering, aggressive Conqueror's Haki erupted from within him, surging like crashing waves toward all of the Rebel Army.
Everyone within the range of this aura would be affected.
Those with weak wills would be instantly knocked out, falling into unconsciousness on the spot.
Conqueror's Haki swept through like a hurricane. The Rebel Army's vanguard was about to charge the city gate when a tremendous pressure descended in a flash.
In the span of a breath, tens of thousands of Rebel Army soldiers—men and horses alike—rolled their eyes back and collapsed.
As Conqueror's Haki spread rapidly, the hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army behind them followed suit.
Thump thump thump
Thump thump thump
The sounds of bodies hitting the ground rang out in succession.
In less than a few seconds, the hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army soldiers who had been shouting just moments ago were all unconscious (Nod Zhao).
Looking down at the sea of black figures below, Reno nodded in satisfaction. Job done, pack it up.
Behind him, Cobra, Vivi, and everyone else stood frozen, their expressions blank.
That's it?!
These were hundreds of thousands of people!!
Even though they had anticipated something like this, witnessing it firsthand left them all stunned into silence.
Snapping out of it, Cobra stepped forward two paces and looked down below.
In front of the city gate, the Rebel Army lay piled on top of each other in a chaotic heap, everyone with their eyes rolled back.
Various weapons and equipment were scattered all over the ground.
"So this is the one-in-a-million Conqueror's Haki?! Truly domineering!!" Guard Captain Igaram was shaken beyond words.
