Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"bird?"

The soldier next to him heard this and looked up following his gaze, and sure enough he saw a huge bird flying towards the palace.

No, it's swooping down.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers roared loudly, and the soldiers guarding other parts of the palace immediately gathered in the direction of the main entrance when they heard the sound.

"Hoo~!"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the giant black eagle controlled by Ilumi had already passed over the palace, circled in the air and landed in the inner courtyard of the palace.

"Where is the enemy!?"

Bell and Jaka each brought a team of escorts to the front door of the palace, but found nothing there and couldn't help asking angrily.

"The enemy has entered the palace!"

The gatekeeper pointed toward the palace.

"Inside the palace?" Bell looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and his expression suddenly changed.

"No! That direction is the inner court! Princess, go and protect the inner court!"

"What!?" Jaka also looked shocked, and the two of them immediately rushed towards the inner courtyard where the princess was, regardless of whether the subordinates behind them could keep up.

At this time, the inner court of the palace.

A blue-haired woman in a white robe was walking in the garden of the palace, holding a showerhead in her hand. When she saw a flower pot with dry soil, she sprinkled a little water on it.

Behind the blue-haired woman were three young women in white robes, acting as maids.

Ikarem stood in the corridor of the inner courtyard, looking at the princess who was watering the flowers, looking pleased.

It is now the ninth month, and the princess is about to give birth to a new hope for Alabasta with a bright future. It is necessary to maintain a good mood.

"Yeah~!!"

Suddenly, a maid in the inner court fell to the ground, looked at the sky and screamed in horror.

The maid's scream attracted the attention of everyone in the inner courtyard, including the princess who was watering the water.

"What are you doing!? You are so rude in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Ikarem immediately frowned and scolded, and stepped out of the corridor. However, as soon as he stepped out of the corridor, he was enveloped in a shadow. When he looked up, his expression suddenly changed.

"Hoo~!"

In the sky above the inner court, a giant black eagle flapped its wings, covering almost half of the inner court and slowly landed in the inner court.

"Bang...!"

With a heavy landing sound, the black giant eagle retracted its huge wings, and the arched cabin on its back disappeared, revealing four figures sitting on the back of the black eagle.

"Your Highness the Princess~!"

"We're here to protect you~!"

The two deputy captains of the guard, Bell and Gaka, jumped out of the palace building and landed on both sides of the princess. They drew their swords and pointed at the giant black eagle in front of them.

"Tap tap tap..."

Immediately afterwards, a burst of rapid and dense footsteps sounded. The escort soldiers arrived and surrounded the black giant eagle in the inner courtyard. The spears in their hands were raised diagonally. As long as the eagle made the slightest movement, it would stab it out.

"We have arrived at the Alabasta Palace?"

"According to the original prediction, even if there were sand ships, it would take two days, but we only took thirty minutes, so fast."

Olvia stood up from the black seat and looked around, confirming that this was indeed the Alabasta Palace, and couldn't help but marvel at Ilumi's speed.

"Who are you!? Why did you invade the palace!?"

Ikarem walked to the front of the soldiers, raised his head and asked the four figures on the back of Black Eagle. As the captain of the Kingdom Guard, Ikarem naturally has to stand at the front.

"Don't panic, we are not enemies of Alabasta, we are here to see the King of Alabasta."

Illumi stood up and jumped off the back of Black Eagle, landing in front of Ikarem.

Olvia and Robin, who were on Black Hawk's back, slid down along Black Hawk's wings like a slide.

Walter landed gently in front of the two of them, blocking the attack paths of many soldiers.

"Since you are here to meet the king, you should apply for the meeting through formal channels. Your behavior is really rude!"

"Do you know what a crime it is to break into the palace without permission!?"

"Even if he is executed on the spot, there will be no problem!"

Ikarem shouted angrily, took out a pistol and pointed it between Ilumi's eyebrows.

"Kid, don't be so arrogant!"

Ilumi's expression turned cold when Icarem pointed at him. The soldiers in the inner courtyard suddenly felt the air around them getting colder, and fear involuntarily arose in their hearts.

"Gulu..."

Ikarem's throat was twitching, and fine cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead. He had the most intuitive feeling, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar at this moment.

"that……"

A gentle voice broke the heavy atmosphere in the inner courtyard.

"Excuse me, do you have anything important to do with His Majesty?"

When Ilumi heard the news, he saw the princess stroking her swollen belly with both hands, looking at Ilumi with a gentle smile.

Ilumi's murderous intention was only directed at Ikarem and the soldiers, and had no impact on the pregnant princess.

"Nothing, I just asked him for a stone."

Yilumi withdrew his murderous intent, looked at the princess, and replied in a calm tone.

"Breathe~breathe~"

The moment Ilumi regained his murderous intent, Icarem and other convoy soldiers gasped for air like people who came ashore after falling into the water. They looked at Ilumi with eyes full of fear.

"I will not hand over the stone you are talking about!"

At this time, a Zhongzheng deep voice came, and everyone heard the sound and went out, only to see Kobra walking out of the palace building with an escort team, walking through the long and narrow corridor to the inner courtyard, and facing Ilumi directly.

"I don't know where you know it from, but that thing is something that the royal family of Alabasta has guarded from generation to generation, and will never be given to others!"

Neferutali?6?1 Kobra had a strong attitude and strode to the princess, protecting her behind him.

"Wow..."

As soon as Kobra said this, Illumi had not yet reacted to Kobra's words. The escort soldiers such as Ikarem, Bell, and Jaka suddenly became nervous, and pointed the spears in their hands at Illumi. But his legs were shaking.

"Your Majesty the King, you have misunderstood."

Olvia walked out from behind Ilumi and stood in front of the escort, bowing slightly with respect.

"We are not trying to steal the Alabasta stone, we just need to imprint what's on it."

Olvia said.

"Rubbing?" Cobra frowned, "Who are you? How did you know that there is such a thing in Alabasta? What do you want to do with the content on it?"

Cobra asked three questions in succession. Question marks appeared on the heads of Ikarim and others, with confused expressions on their faces.

"My name is Nicole?6?1 Olvia, and I am an archaeologist. We just want to learn about the history of eight hundred years ago through the contents on the stones."

Olvia replied calmly.

"Nicole? 6? 1 Olvia?"

"Aren't you already dead!?"

When Cobra heard this name, he was confused at first, and then his expression suddenly changed.

"No, since you appear here, it means that the scholars of O'Hara also..." Kobra's eyes shifted from Olvia to Illumi, and then to Nico? 6? 1 Robin On the body, "So, this child is what the world government calls the [Son of the Devil]?"

"Yes." Olvia looked sideways at her daughter and nodded in admission.

"What?"

"Son of the devil?"

"The one who sank six warships by himself?"

"And only eight years old..."

The soldiers in the escort heard the conversation between their king and Olvia. They couldn't understand the previous conversation, but the last sentence was very familiar to them.

That was the world-famous devil's son, and the soldiers looked at Robin, a nine-year-old girl, with fear in their eyes.

"What if I don't agree?"

Cobra didn't care about the remaining two questions and asked tentatively.

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black thorn rose from Cobra's feet, and its sharp tip pointed at Cobra's eyebrows.

"His Majesty!"

The expressions of Ikarem and the others changed with shock, and they immediately turned around and attacked Ilumi.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

But before they could make any move, dozens of black thorns emerged from the ground and tied up all the escort soldiers, including Ikarem and the three captains Bell and Gaka, making them unable to move.

In the inner court, only the maids and the princess were not controlled, because they posed no threat to Olvia and her daughter.

"I know that you are a monarch who governs the country wisely, and I personally appreciate this."

"So, even if you don't care about your own life, you still have to care about your subordinates and the future of this country, right?"

"If you die, the country will fall into a state of anarchy."

"You know exactly what will happen to a country that is already suffering from a depressed economy and a lack of water if it is left unmanaged."

"It's just a stone. We just need the content on it. You won't pay any price or bear any consequences."

Illumi stared at Kobra and threatened.

"His Majesty……"

The princess reached out to hold Cobra's arm. Cobra looked back at his wife and his abdomen, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded.

The moment Cobra nodded, the black thorns pointing at his eyebrows instantly dissipated, and the tied-up guardsmen were also free.

"You go back and have a rest. I'll be back soon." Kobra held the princess's hand and consoled him, then turned and walked out of the inner court, "Follow me, and everyone else can go do their own thing."

"Your Majesty! We..."

"No, I believe them."

Ikarem also wanted to step forward to protect Kobra, but Kobra refused.

The four of Ilumi took steps to follow Kobra, and the black giant eagle behind them turned into a ball of black energy and disappeared without a trace.

Fifteen minutes later, the royal tomb.

Kobra came to a statue, reached out and grabbed the statue, and pushed it counterclockwise.

"Rumble..."

The ground shook, and a square floor moved, revealing a two-meter-wide secret passage.

"This is the tomb of the royal family of Alabasta. The historical text you want to read is below." Cobra stepped into the secret passage first and took a torch from the wall to light it. "Every item here has thousands of years of history." Objects are the precious heritage of Alabasta.”

"Be careful and don't destroy it." ""
