Chapter 160
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a blue-haired little girl running towards him happily.
A strong sense of malice suddenly rose in Wapol's eyes.
He suddenly took a step towards the girl.
Caught off guard, the little princess was bumped right into and fell to the ground.
Princess Vivi!
The curly-haired man, Igaram, the captain of the Alabasta Kingdom's guards, exclaimed and quickly approached, carefully helping the little princess to her feet.
The little princess pursed her lips slightly; her elbows were somewhat scraped.
But she still forced a smile, because she knew that any small thing here could escalate into a conflict between nations, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her father.
Then, she smiled and looked up, "Igaram, I'm alright—"
"You brat! How dare you defy me!"
Wapol yelled, "Let me, the king, punish you!"
Without hesitation, he slapped the little princess across the face.
Ha! Cobra, you bastard, how dare you offend me! Then let your daughter pay for your sins!
The little princess was somewhat bewildered, staring blankly at the hand that was lashing out at her.
Just as Wapol's short, chubby hand was about to strike the little princess's face, the hand suddenly stopped.
The other hand grabbed this hand.
"What?"
Wapol looked up in surprise.
Which bastard would dare to stop him?
The little princess stared wide-eyed at the figure blocking her way.
Are you being protected?
Naito calmly gazed at Wapol, who stood before him with a bewildered expression.
It's that time of year again to grind reputation with Naito the Hero.
Chapter 111 The Popular Naito, The Reverie Ends
Naito said calmly, "The implication is that violence is prohibited."
"Who are you?!"
Wapol flushed red, and he struggled to break free, shouting, "Release me!"
"As you wish."
Naito nodded very calmly, and then actually let go of her hand.
As a result, Wapol, who was exerting his strength, was instantly turned into a rolling gourd. Since his body was relatively round, he rolled out and crashed headfirst into the wall behind him.
"Wow!!"
Having been pampered since childhood and rarely experiencing hardship, Wapol screamed, "It hurts!!"
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone around.
Whether it was the kings of the Affiliated Nation, their families, or their entourage, everyone stared in astonishment at Naito's expressionless face.
No way?
In Mary Geoise, in Pangaea Castle, during the Reverie, how could the navy actually attack the king of Affiliated Nation?
While Wapol is indeed a wicked and despicable king, he is also the king of Affiliated Nation! He was even invited by the government to attend this Reverie!
Isn't this navy being a bit too reckless?
However, once people clearly saw the figure's exact appearance, the situation immediately changed.
"Is he... Rear Admiral Naito?!"
"It really is him! He's so young! When I was his age, I was still thinking about having more relationships! And he's already being hailed as a new naval hero!"
"If it's Rear Admiral Naito, then there must be some extenuating circumstances!"
"I saw the whole story. It was that bastard Wapol who tried to bully Princess Vivi of Alabasta!"
"As expected! Naito the Hero stood up to protect the weak!"
"As expected of Rear Admiral Naito!"
They discussed it like this.
Ain, standing at the back of the crowd, shook her head helplessly.
What can I say?
That's Naito.
Naito is undoubtedly a hero.
Even Binz, who always disagreed with Naito, had a smirk on his face, a proud smile on his lips.
Not to mention Sanji, the young boy's lips curled up in a smile, proud of the man he followed.
Meanwhile.
"Your Majesty Wapol!"
Wapol's bodyguard, dressed in green and carrying a shovel, a man named Dalton, hurriedly made his way through the crowd and carefully helped Wapol to his feet.
Honestly, it's really embarrassing.
He also witnessed what the king he served had done to that little girl.
As the ruler of a nation, Dalton felt deeply ashamed that he would so despicably attempt to harm a girl of about ten years old.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Wapol was representing the Drum Kingdom at this time, and he himself was the lord to whom Dalton served, so Dalton could not turn a blind eye.
"Dalton!!"
Wapol angrily shoved Dalton aside, pointing at Naito with his other finger, "Kill this bastard for me! A navy man, daring to lay a hand on the king of Affiliated Nation? He's got a death wish!!"
"Your Majesty Wapol... This is Rear Admiral Naito of the Marine Headquarters, the man known as a hero."
Dalton gritted his teeth. "Please stop making a scene."
They were already in the wrong, and now they wanted to attack Rear Admiral Naito? Were they joking?
"What did you say! What kind of bullshit hero!"
Wapol was furious, his small eyes fixed on Dalton. "Are you disobeying my orders, Dalton? You don't want to live anymore, do you?!"
Dalton felt one gaze after another falling upon him, the meaning behind those gazes making him blush and his body tremble with shame.
Dalton's lips moved with difficulty, "Your Majesty Wapol, you bear the weight of the Drum Kingdom on your shoulders; please, do not tarnish our nation's reputation any further!"
"Disgraced?"
Wapol slapped Dalton hard across the face, sending the burly man sprawling to the ground. "I am the face of the Drum Kingdom! If I lose face, what face does the country have left!"
"Enough! Wapol!!"
A stern voice rang out.
Wapol paused for a moment, then turned around angrily, "Cobra!!"
Stepping out from the crowd was a man in a long robe, with a serious and dignified expression.
"Dad!"
The blue-haired little princess excitedly pounced on her.
"Vivi, are you alright?"
The man named Nefitalulli Cobra looked down and patted his daughter's head.
Although he arrived a little late, he already knew what had happened from the discussions of the surrounding kings.
"It's okay!"
The little princess shook her head, then turned to look at Naito. "It was this older brother from the navy who saved me."
Cobra didn't immediately thank Naito; he simply nodded slightly.
Then, His Majesty the King of Alabasta looked at Wapol, who was furious.
"Enough with your outrageous behavior, Wapol! How much further do you intend to bring shame upon the Drum Kingdom along with you!"
"Cobra!!"
Wapol almost gritted his teeth, "You bastard, are you trying to lecture me again?!"
"As king, instead of thinking about how to develop the country, you act recklessly based solely on your own selfish desires! The Drum Kingdom is a medical superpower, yet you want to expel most of the doctors, leaving only the most elite ones to serve you! Wapol, what do you take this country for?!"
Cobra's face was stern. "I thought you were despicable enough for doing something like this, but I never expected you would actually lay a hand on a child because of our conflict!"
"I am the king of the Drum Kingdom! You bastard, what right do you have to boss me around!"
Wapol roared, "You offended me first, why can't I retaliate! That brat got hurt because of you, Cobra!"
"Shut up, King Wapol!"
One of the kings, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back any longer and said with disgust, "I never imagined that a man like you could be ranked alongside us."
"That's right,"
Another king nodded in agreement, "Wapol, a despicable fellow like you should be expelled from the Reverie!"
"What?"
Wapol looked at his attackers with a mixture of shock and anger, "You bastards—"
"Get out of here, Wapol!"
One of the Ochoku forward and shoved Wapol, shouting, "Nobody here welcomes you!"
"You--"
A hint of panic finally appeared on Wapol's face. He looked around and saw that almost everyone was giving him disgusted looks.
Asshole!
Those bastards—
"You just wait!"
Wapol finally realized that the situation was very unfavorable for him. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and squeezed out of the crowd like a spinning top.
The kings all smiled mockingly as they watched him leave in a disheveled state.
Dalton breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
He knew that King Wapol's wrath would likely be directed at him next.
