The Pirate Garen

Albana, the Royal Palace.

As a hero of the kingdom, Galen became the guest of King Cobra.

As a large country with a population of tens of millions, the palace of Alabasta is naturally much more magnificent than the palace of the Kingdom of Goa.

The calm and quiet marble columns, the majestic towering dome, and the dazzling enamel windows, the solemn and solemn scene made the dinner set by the king look very formal.

But the people who came to this dinner were not the characters who would be restrained by the scene:

King Cobra sat at the head of the amazingly long banquet table, with Princess Vivi and her best friend Nami on the left, and Galen and Robin, the boss and secretary, on the right .

Robin's wrist was wrapped with a medical bandage that Galen personally applied to her, and she just kept a kind smile without any flaws to cope with this social situation.

Because apart from Galen who is barely close, the relationship between Robin, Nami, and Vivi can only be regarded as casual acquaintances, or fake friendships where they are wary of each other when she is "undercover".

Robin didn't want to come to the dinner, but Galen seriously insisted that the key employee accompany him to the celebration dinner.

Although the reason of "good-looking" made Robin, who has been relying on his brain for a living, feel very helpless, but after feeling that Galen valued him sincerely, Robin still made up his mind to play the role of Galen's personal secretary well.

Accompanying the boss to attend some formal occasions is naturally what the secretary should do.

However, Nami and Weiwei have some opinions on this:

Even though Galen told them that Robin was now a real companion, they still remained cautious and wary of this strange former female spy.

Not long after the dinner began, Nami and Weiwei's strange eyes of hatred and hatred repeatedly crossed the wide tabletop and silently fell on the face of Robin sitting next to Galen.

Facing the slight hostility in the eyes of the two little girls, Robin just looked away from the accidental collision with some amusement, and didn't pay much attention to it at all.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite delicate, but Galen didn't know anything about it.

Because he was busy discussing with King Cobra about the aftermath of Crocodile's death.

After listening to Galen's suggestion, King Cobra was a little hard to accept:

"You mean to fully expose Crocodile's crime of stealing the country?"

"But I have already admitted to the citizens the mistake of using dancing fans, so how can I break my promise and take this blame back to Crocodile?"

"sure."

Facing King Cobra's questioning, Galen remained indifferent:

"Before he was still alive, he had a chance to fight back."

"In that case, it's naturally hard to believe that the 'Hero of Alabasta' was a bad guy without evidence."

"But now that he is dead, the dead are powerless to refute."

"With you, the king of the countries that joined the world government, and me, the new 'Hero of Alabasta', speaking together, I will find a few 'informed people' from the Baroque Work Agency to report his identity as a thief. It's also difficult."

"At that time, the navy and the world government will definitely regard Shichibukai Crocodile as a rebellious pirate according to what you, the king, said."

"The citizens will not blame you for telling lies before, but will be grateful to you for the sacrifice you made to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation."

Hearing Galen's words, Cobra still hesitated.

As a good king who regards his subjects as his own family, he always feels that this method of guiding public opinion is somewhat improper.

However, Galen's suggestion is beneficial and harmless, and it is to tell the truth to the people and the navy. Cobra finally nodded in agreement with this propaganda plan.

"So."

After discussing the completed matters, Cobra asked Galen with some concern:

"Where are you going after this is over?"

Weiwei immediately withdrew her vigilant eyes fixed on Robin, and waited expectantly and nervously for Galen's answer.

"Where are you going?"

Galen thought for a long time, but finally he only gave an ambiguous answer:

"I don't know too well, but it shouldn't stay for long."

It was only natural that, sooner or later, Galen would have to go to sea again in search of the next quarry that would provide him with experience points.

Hearing Galen's answer, Vivi couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment on her face.

The corner of Weiwei's mouth muttered and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Wei Wei missed the days when she and Galen were adventuring at sea together, and didn't want to cut off contact with hard-won friends like Galen and Nami.

But after all, she is a princess of a big country and a new generation of "virtuous king" in the hearts of the people. There is really no reason, and she is not suitable to accompany a knight who always gets into trouble to sail on the great waterway.

Cobra noticed her daughter's gloomy mood.

After pondering for a moment, Cobra said to Galen:

"Galen, I understand that a man like you will never stop easily on the great channel."

"But since you have opened a shipping company and are considered the leader of a great power, you have to find a base for your power on the great waterway, right?"

Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard it, and her eyes couldn't help showing a little more excitement.

"base?"

Looking at the kind smile on Cobra's face, Galen asked a little puzzled:

"Are you going to set up my shipping company in Alabasta?"

"However, my company has just completed its coverage in the East China Sea, and will not get involved in the shipping business on a large scale from the East China Sea to the great waterway for the time being."

"No."

Cobra shook his head, just smiled and said:

"I'm not trying to do business with you, but to reward you for saving Alabasta:"

"In the name of the King of Alabasta and the Naferutali family, I officially canonize you as the Earl of Alabasta."

"The port city Rainland on the banks of the St. Dora River will be your exclusive fief from now on."

With a single mouth, Cobra handed over all the titles and fiefs to Galen,

The freshly baked "Lord of the Rainland" Galen couldn't help but opened his mouth in surprise, and couldn't help but glance at Weiwei who was watching him seriously:

All the jokes he said when he met Weiwei back then came true.

And Weiwei returned Galen with a sweet smile, feeling quite happy:

Having a city as Galen's territory is equivalent to giving Galen a home on the Great Waterway. This knight will definitely return, or even stay in Alabasta.

"But."

However, Galen pushed the topic to another slightly subtle angle: "Your Majesty the King."

"Cough cough."

Cobra's face was serious, and he said solemnly: "You can just call me uncle."

"ah?"

Galen was slightly taken aback, and finally called out this somewhat strange name:

"Uncle Cobra, you gave me an important town like Rainland as a fief"

"Are you not afraid that I will be the second Crocodile?"

This is a very serious question.

The hero of Alabasta, which is based in the rainy land, has a sense of sight of the Sand Alligator II no matter how you look at it.

In fact, any politically minded monarch would never, like Cobra, unreservedly trust a foreign strong man just because of his daughter's recommendation, let alone allow this strong man to play a role in his own country. hero.

Because the wolf is dead and the tiger is still there, no one can guarantee whether the rescuers who moved to King Qin are Dong Zhuo.

But Cobra naturally wouldn't think so much.

If he could think so much, the country of Alabasta would not be overthrown by Crocodile so easily.

Facing Galen's question, Cobra laughed out loudly:

"Hahaha"

"With a strong man like you in charge, Alabasta can achieve real peace."

"Also, I believe that you absolutely cannot be the second Crocodile!"

Cobra smiled very happily, and looked at Galen with a different kind of appreciation in his eyes:

"Weiwei has told me everything about you."

"She promised to marry you, but you didn't accept it."

"If you are really interested in this king's throne, wouldn't it be easier to just marry my daughter?"

The air froze instantly.

Nami, who had been busy making eye contact with Robin, turned her head in disbelief and looked at her best friend Weiwei sitting next to her.

Weiwei's scalp went numb for a while, and Galen's face was also very stiff.

But Cobra was completely unaware of this.

Weiwei is very close to her father and king, and they almost talk about everything.

But when she introduced Galen to Cobra, she would only talk about Galen's high-spirited integrity that he was not moved by the power of beauty. Naturally, she would not describe to the king that she knew that the other party had a girlfriend. Hsu" bad plot.

So since the meeting today, Cobra has always regarded Nami as a subordinate of Galen who is the same as Robin.

In this dead silence, Cobra just took Galen's hand affectionately and said:

"Galen, I know you didn't want to take advantage of others, so you didn't agree to Weiwei's marriage proposal."

"But I still agree with the marriage of the two of you!"

"After all, it's really rare to see an outstanding young man like you in Dahai who has both character and strength! Hahaha"

After speaking, Cobra was quite proud.

He knew that his daughter was thin-faced and refused to stand out, so he simply stepped forward to assist her.

But Cobra felt a little strange:

According to what he knew about his daughter, Weiwei should stand up blushing and say a few arrogant words when he spoke.

But now the daughter is as quiet as a wooden figure, not moving at all.

Cobra turned his head to look puzzled, but was surprised to find:

Weiwei was restlessly leaning her head back, not daring to look at anyone, her face was already extremely ugly.

And Galen's face also showed the uneasiness and panic that did not lose to Weiwei.

After a moment of silence, Galen and Weiwei raised their heads in an astonishing tacit understanding, and said in unison:

"Nami, listen to me."
