Awaken The Replication System, Defeat Shanks At The Beginning

Alabasta!

In the palace.

Lively, to celebrate the defeat of 【Sand Crocodile】Ke Locke Dahl and his henchmen's celebration began.

As for the royal family, King Cobra and Princess Vivi were present, as well as Koza who joined the rebel army.

It is due to the stability of the current situation, and the reason why the rebel army was bewitched by Ke Locke Dahl and others.

King Cobra pardoned Koza and other rebels for their crimes.

But they are required to return to their respective towns and restore and rebuild their homes.

For now.

The situation in Alabasta is considered stable.

And as Leno and others who foiled the Klockedar conspiracy, they became the new heroes of Alabasta.

Uta, in particular, is worshiped and welcomed by everyone, calling him the 【Angel of Song】 who brings peace!

The rebellion and war that spread across the country caused huge damage and losses to Alabasta.

The Alabasta royal family needs to spend a lot of money for disaster relief, and pressure to pay the task commission of the Hunter Guild.

Cobra decided to lease [Rainland] to the Hunter Guild for 100 years!

The Hunter Guild will obtain the independent operation and management rights of [Rainland], and will have independent taxation and will not be subject to the kingdom's jurisdiction.

These are about the same as when Locke Dahl was there.

only.

Locke Dar and the royal family did not have an express contract, and they occupied it by force, while the Hunter's Guild had an extra procedure.

Although the purpose is the same, the process is different and the impact is also different.

Before the banquet.

Leno has arranged for Zoro, Saka, Sanji, Nuo Qigao, Nami, and Carina to go to the rainy land to deal with the remaining problems of [rainy land]. "057" Ke Locke Daer fell, so that the bustling Rainland fell into chaos, Pirates, Yakuza competed with each other for territory.

[Rainland] already belongs to the Hunter Guild, so what they are fighting for is the property of the Hunter Guild!

With their strength, it is enough to deal with those pirates and goku.

This is also an exercise for them.

Leno and Uta joined the celebration.

Between the toasts, the music sounded, and the dancers in Alabaster's special costumes danced to the music.

Different styles of music make Uta very interested.

As a music hunter, she aims at different styles of music from all over the world, and discusses with court musicians.

Cobra is very interested in the trade cooperation with the Hunter Guild, and discussed with Leno the direction of development.

Leno took a sip of Alabasta's unique cactus wine, which has a faint fragrance of cactus.

"King Cobra, do you hope to alleviate the crisis facing the country by expanding business?"

Cobra nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

"crisis?"

Princess Vivi pricked up her ears, frowned, and said, "Father, Klockedar has been defeated, what crisis is there?"

Leno smiled slightly and said, "Is Locke Dar really the source of the country's crisis?"

Cobra sighed, "Yes! Crisis!"

Princess Vivi was puzzled.

She is very young and somewhat naive.

In fact.

Cobra also came to his senses after talking with Leno after experiencing this turmoil.

The war in Alabasta was resolved, but the post-war reconstruction and the most critical contradictions have not been resolved.

What contradiction?

water!

A heavy rain cannot solve the water shortage problem in Alabasta.

This problem exists as long as it exists.

People can bear it for a while, but not for a lifetime.

and.

When the people find that problems can be solved through rebellion, will their minds change?

These people, are they really just bewitched by Kelvin Locke? Don’t they have any other thoughts in their hearts?

No!

There must be!

It's just that they haven't reached the point where they can't survive at all.

In addition, the [Nafirutali] clan has ruled for a long time, and the remaining prestige is still there, so the turmoil can be quelled so quickly.

"The patience of the people is limited!"

"This rebellion has consumed the patience of many people and caused a serious crisis of trust!"

"It's hard for everyone to fully trust and respect the Nafiru Tali family!"

"The current peace is only temporary!"

"If the Naferutali royal family can't come up with a solution, do you think those rebels who have tasted the sweetness will come again?"

"The ideas of the revolutionary army have begun to have a wide and profound influence among the people at the bottom!"

Princess Vivi couldn't help whispering: "I think those ideas of the revolutionary army are actually not bad!"

"Look, even the princess thinks so, what about the people?"

"Eh?"

Princess Vivi still doesn't quite understand.

But Cobra understood.

When the next rebellion happens again, the Naferutali family will bear the brunt and will be the target of public criticism.

How did the Revolutionary Army do it?

Through an armed uprising, kill the royal family, expel the nobles, and then coerce the people to resist the World Government!

"Actually, the key is fresh water!"

Leno said: "Senting Island has a vast land and few people, and it is one of the best super soybeans in the world.

"As long as you have fresh water, with your huge population, you will soon be able to restore your vitality and past glory!"

Cobra nodded involuntarily.

Water is the source of life!

And fresh water is the most precious thing in the desert country, even more precious than gold.

Princess Vivi was thoughtful.

The banquet is over.

Uta still had more to say, and continued to discuss the country's music with Alabasta's court musicians and musicians.

Leno returned to the residence, contacted Zoro and the others, and asked about the situation of [Rainland].

Under the suppression of the Zoro six, the turmoil in [Rainland] subsided, and the banner of the Hunter's Guild was hung.

Leno asked Nuo Qigao, Zoro, Sanji, and Saka to stay temporarily, and the four of them will manage [Rainland].

Putting down the phone bug, Leno mused.

Chloe left some messages in Sakura Flower Kingdom on Drum Island through secret codes.

Crowe is not only not in danger, but also successfully broke into the Blackbeard pirate group and obtained a lot of information.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!"

The door opened.

Leno looked over and said, "Princess Vivi?"

Princess Vivi bowed slightly, and said politely: "President Leno, I have something to ask!"

She glanced at Leno, with a handsome face, very friendly, not at all like the strong man in the legend.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Leno asked.

Princess Vivi said: "About the crisis you and your father talked about, there is also the problem of water!"

"Ok?"

Princess Vivi plucked up her courage and said, "I think you must have a solution, but you didn't say it."

After the ceremony, Princess Vivi thought about it carefully. Leno is so familiar with Alabasta, he must have known it before.

He raised a problem, did he also think about how to solve it?

Most likely!

For a big man like him, every move, word and deed must have some purpose to accomplish.

Before Princess Vivi came, she went to Cobra first.

After all, Cobra has been king for many years, how could he not be aware of it?

But as a king, he couldn't speak easily.

With the lessons learned from Ke Locke Dahl, he is worried that Leno has ulterior motives and bigger plans.

The point is, in the whole incident, the Hunter's Guild appeared too coincidentally, and it was also the party with the biggest harvest.

Knowing her father's difficulties, Princess Vivi came to Leno.

She has a different identity from Cobra, so it is easier to talk without too many scruples.

"A solution?"

Leno saw through Princess Vivi at a glance, smiled, and said: "Indeed, but...

Princess Vivi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "But what?"

Leno shrugged.

"Why should I tell you?"

"because..…………"

Leno raised his hand and stopped Princess Vivi from speaking at length, which was nothing more than for the sake of the people.

"What does the life and death of the Alabasta people have to do with me? This is your country, not mine!"

"Just like the member countries of the World Government, will they care about the life and death of the non-member countries? Of course not!"

"Your words of justice and kindness are useless to me. A snowflake is innocent under an avalanche!"

"The plight of Alabasta has nothing to do with your royal family?"

"No matter how benevolent the royal family is, it cannot bring happiness to the people. What is the difference between you and a tyrant?"

"Can kindness make people live better and solve conflicts?"

"A royal family that only cares about benevolence and justice, but doesn't know how to govern the country, is like a mascot hanging on the wall, useless!"

Princess Vivi was stunned.

It is the first time that Princess Vivi, who has been spoiled since she was a child, has been questioned and denied so mercilessly.

She opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but she didn't know where to start.

Leno changed his words and said, "However, if you become one of your own, that's another matter!"

"Ok?"

Princess Vivi was surprised and said, "Have you already cooperated?"

"It's cooperation!"

Leno said: "But what we get at the moment is just remuneration. If you want more, you need to pay more!"

Princess Vivi suddenly realized.

Sure enough, what his father said was right, Leno had other goals.

She jumped in her heart and said, "If I want to get your help and get a solution, what will I have to pay?"

Leno said: "Are you Princess Alabasta, or Vivi?"

"Is there a difference?" Princess Vivi was surprised.

Leno said: "Of course!"

"You are talking to me as a princess, so I will naturally talk to you as the leader of the hunter!"

"You are in a private capacity, so I have another attitude. Public and private are distinct, hasn't your father taught you?"

Princess Vivi thought for a while, and said: "The teacher in the palace taught me!"

Leno said: "For the former, if you have obtained your father's permission, you can make a decision, and I can talk to you. If not, then you don't have the status to talk to me on this matter!"

"Even seriously, I can take this as an act of arrogance by your royal family!"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I am coming by myself, and my father doesn't know. Princess Vivi said hastily.

Leno chuckled and said, "So, you came to me in a private capacity?"

"um, yes!"

Princess Vivi nodded.

Leno looked at her and said, "For this country, are you willing to do anything, including sacrificing yourself?"

Princess Vivi took a deep breath and said with firm eyes: "If my sacrifice can bring stability to the country, I am willing!"

Leno applauded and said, "You are a very courageous girl, so how about staying here tonight?"

Princess Vivi was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with surprise, anger, and embarrassment.

Leno wants her to stay here with him?

She was in the palace, and she was not a noob to this kind of thing, so she blushed and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Leno laughed.

"It's unbelievable, you must be thinking in your heart, why would a person like me do this?"

Such a thing!"

"Then, why did you trust a pirate to bring happiness to your country?"

"Your citizens, still regard Ke Locke Dar as a hero, because he defeated the invading pirates?"

"What's the difference between you just now and the person who was deceived in your eyes?"

Princess Vivi5.0 was stunned again, thoughtful, and said with a sigh of relief: "You are teaching me, don't listen to one side's words? Seeing is not necessarily believing, you must be able to think independently, don't

Jump into judgment easily?"

"No, I just thought it was fun."

interesting?!

Princess Vivi's face collapsed, she didn't find it interesting at all, since she came in, she was led away.

She gritted her teeth and said seriously: "If I stay with you tonight, does what you just said count?"

Princess Vivi has a strong personality and a sense of responsibility, but sometimes she does some silly things.

"You'd better think carefully and don't be impulsive!"

Leno glanced at her.

"You are the sole heir of Alabasta, worth nothing less."

Princess Vivi smiled.

"Didn't you tell me so much because you saw the value in me?"

She stared at Leno and said: "If I give birth to your heir, he will be the future king of Alabasta!"

"The connection of blood is stronger than the cooperation of interests, isn't it?"

Leno smiled and said, "Are you selling yourself?"

"As a female member of the royal family, you must learn to sell yourself at a high price at the right time!"

"Oh? Who said that?" Leno was surprised.

Princess Vivi said: "I heard it from a woman in the Barlocke work agency!"

When she spoke, she had gathered her courage and sat in Leno.

The waist-length blue hair spread out.

Like a blue flower blooming.

There are still some crystals falling on it.

It was the teardrops shed by Princess Vivi inadvertently. .
