Kazu smacked his lips twice. Since these two knew what they were doing, he felt relieved.
"Let's go, this time we'll head straight for the capital."
The group left the town. With Kazu around in the desert, they had no shortage of food and drink. They walked for seven days before finally arriving at the city gates.
The number of guards here is significantly greater, maintaining the safety and order of the capital.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"MA, MA, MA."
" The Blond Hair Pirates that arrived in Alabasta a while ago is almost Alubarna. Let's quickly organize our army to stop them."
With his blond hair curled on both sides and dressed in a blue suit, Igaram arrived at the palace in a panic. Upon seeing Cobra, he immediately reported the urgent military situation to His Majesty the King.
"They still came."
Cobra frowned, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He already knew that Kazu and his men had arrived in Alabasta, but they weren't confident they could drive them away.
Seeing that the other party had not caused any trouble in their home country, the only option was to give them the cold shoulder, hoping they would leave Alabasta after sightseeing.
But if the other party really came here with other purposes, then it must be to find out the whereabouts of Pluton.
The mission passed down from their Nefertari Clan was to protect the whereabouts of Pluton, a mission they were willing to risk their lives for.
" Igaram, organize your personal guards. I want to see Her Kazi."
After much deliberation, Cobra decided to try negotiating first.
When the two sides went to war, he had no confidence whatsoever that he could win; he didn't know how many people would die.
Negotiation was his preferred option, even though he knew the chances were slim.
Alabasta is all desert; what else could such a powerful pirate possibly covet besides the whereabouts of Pluton? He simply couldn't imagine.
I just hope I can fool the other party, then spend a fortune to satisfy their greed with treasures.
The other party is, after all, a pirate; it's safe to say they like treasure.
"No, this is absolutely not allowed, Your Majesty."
"The enemy is powerful, and we will defend Alabasta to the death. How can we allow you to put yourself in danger and negotiate with such a ruthless pirate?"
"You know, this guy even dared to kill Celestial Dragons, Celestial Dragons."
Upon hearing King Cobra's decision, Igaram panicked and immediately offered his advice, hoping that King Cobra would be rational and let his subjects deal with these pirates, even at the cost of his life.
Cobra was well aware of the loyalty of his subjects, and he also knew that his actions were dangerous.
But in order to preserve Alabasta to the greatest extent possible, he had to go and try it himself.
"You don't need to say anything, Igaram."
Go and prepare the personal guards.
Seeing His Majesty the King's resolute stance, Igaram gritted his teeth but did not disobey Cobra's order, and turned to leave.
After leaving, Igaram immediately summoned Pell and Chaka, along with a thousand soldiers. These men were guaranteed to be completely loyal and were among the elite of the army.
Among them are the Kingdom's elite guard, the Claw Corps, of Alabasta.
Pell and Chaka are both Devil Fruit User; Pell and Chaka the Jackal are their most powerful warriors in Alabasta.
Igaram Pell and Chaka arrived, Icarum explained the seriousness of the situation to them. As the two lieutenants of the Royal Guard, he suggested that everyone brainstorm and see if there was a better solution.
"If we're going to fight, it's best to do it on the outskirts of the town. The central area is where the royal palace is located and the most prosperous part of the capital. If we get caught up in the fighting there, our losses will be too great."
It was clear from Chaka's words that he supported fighting the Blond Hair Pirates. He felt it was their duty as subjects to stand by and watch King Cobra risk his life to negotiate.
Pell, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement with Chaka's words.
Not long after the troops had assembled, Cobra arrived at the palace gates.
Seeing the loyal and fully prepared royal guards, his resolve was strengthened.
If he didn't want these brave and loyal men to lose their lives, he needed to succeed in the negotiations.
"Let's go. When the time comes, do not launch a preemptive attack without my orders, so as not to provoke the enemy."
Cobra repeatedly reminded Igaram, Pell, and Chaka that this matter could not be taken lightly.
As soon as Kazu and his group entered the capital, although the scenery was still that of a desert kingdom, it was far better than other towns. The level of prosperity was on a completely different level.
"Haha, the adventures here must be even more exciting!"
Kazu felt that this guy had surpassed his master.
Now, when Carlmand arrives in a new town, his first thought is to assess the red-light district.
Just like in Kazu previous life, he always wanted to experience foot massage parlors in every city across the country to see what the differences were.
