Chapter 126: Messenger
A stick of incense has passed.
As Kit's voice stopped, the depressing atmosphere in the tent reached its peak.
No one spoke for a long time, and you could hear a pin drop.
Just now, Kit had told him everything that happened today, including every word that Ger said.
After Kit finished speaking, he looked up at His Highness Cobra who was sitting in his seat.
Seeing that his eyes were tightly closed and his hands were tightly grasping his knees, it was obvious that he was extremely angry, but he was just holding back and not losing his temper.
I thought that the young prince would not be able to endure such naked humiliation, and after hearing it, he might become furious and want to make the other party pay a painful price at all costs!
Kit had even decided that if the time came, he would risk his life to stop His Highness, but now it seemed that His Highness Cobra's character had far exceeded his expectations.
Cobra's face turned red and green. He felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly. He tried to control his emotions and didn't say anything.
Gel's words were not very hurtful but very insulting. It was like someone pointed at your nose and scolded you for no reason, and then said at the end that you should thank me for sparing your life, so thank me and leave!
When the hell did I offend him?
This is Cobra's voice.
Jakka on the side felt that his understanding of the strong had been completely refreshed today. What kind of power was it that could easily defeat the strongest warrior of Alabasta? He really wanted to see it.
"Master Kit, is the opponent really that strong?"
Jakka asked the question that Cobra also wanted to ask, and he immediately opened his eyes. The two of them waited eagerly for Kit's answer, with a little hope in their eyes.
The strength of the enemy was clearly shown by the fact that Kit's handsome face was still swollen as if a hornet's nest had been poked.
Everyone already knew that they could beat their guardian without any chance of fighting back. The reason why Kaka asked this question was simply because he was unwilling to give up and wanted to hear Kit, who had always been his goal, say:
Even if the answer was that he was defeated easily because he didn't understand the enemy's Devil Fruit ability, it was really hard for him to accept this insurmountable gap that was like a chasm!
"Hey!"
Kit sighed. He knew that confidence of young people was important, but he really couldn't say such words against his will.
"Very strong! He may be even stronger than we imagined. I am afraid to say it out loud. In fact, I didn't even fight him. I was captured as soon as we met. I didn't test his true strength."
"And there's more than just that devil-looking guy. There are three known ones now. The other big guy with messy golden hair looks even stronger. What's more terrifying is that the young man who can be the leader of this group of people is probably the strongest among them."
The more Cobra listened, the uglier his expression became.
He already knew from Kit's description that the other two should be the two brothers he and Gaka met in the hotel today.
He didn't expect that the young man who earned 100,000 Baileys from him, who looked sunny and handsome, would actually be the boss of this terrorist organization. It was really unbelievable.
What Cobra really couldn't understand was that he had seen the enemy leader before, and was sure that the two parties did not know each other, but why did Gel act like he knew him very well and had such a big opinion of him?
He couldn't think of a way to figure out that Ger was a time traveler and had something against his future self.
For a long time,
Cobra decided to put aside the puzzled questions for the time being. He loosened his clenched fists and suddenly said with a smile:
"Hahaha!"
"Since it was just a misunderstanding and Mr. Kit has returned safely, let's follow his wishes and leave it at that!"
"I thought they were threatening, so I preconceivedly regarded them as imaginary enemies. Perhaps they are not our enemies. Thinking carefully about his advice, I now feel that he is helping us in his own way. He made us see the huge gap between us and the real strong men on the sea, and sounded the alarm for Alabasta."
Cobra couldn't help but twitch his lips and continued:
"It's just that his methods are really...hard to accept."
"I heard that the ocean has become even more chaotic since the public execution of Pirate King Roger some time ago. We should really improve our strength to deal with the dangers that may arise next. He will definitely not be right! I will never let Alabasta go to destruction!"
Gaka on the side also roared with encouragement!
Kit nodded and looked at the future king with great satisfaction. He did not lose his mind because of anger. Instead, he was able to look at the problem calmly and from a deeper level. These are what it takes to be a qualified king.
"Old man, you must be starving. This is the naan we left for you when we were waiting for you to come back. Please have some."
Cobra took out a large pancake wrapped in newspaper, but did not dare to say that the pancake was "bought on credit".
On the side, Jiaka, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked:
"Master Kit, I hope that after you recover from your injury, you can accept my challenge and fight me with all your strength!"
"Hahaha, what's the matter? Do you think I am no longer worthy of this position and want to take my place?"
Kit was a little surprised to hear this. This was not something that a subordinate who had always respected him would say, but he was not angry. On the contrary, it was a good thing that the younger generation was trying their best to surpass him! He was willing to be a whetstone or even a stepping stone!
"No, Senior Kit, I just want to improve my strength as quickly as possible. Only by surpassing you first can I have a chance to defeat the enemy that even you can't defeat!"
Jiaka said with a firm look.
"Well said! I accept your challenge. I will guide you in your training during this period of time!"
"Thank you, Master Kit!"
Cobra stood aside with a frown, listening to the conversation between the two, and kept turning the ring on his left index finger with his right hand. He found that the uneasy feeling did not dissipate because of Kit's safe return, but became more and more obvious!
Cobra picked up the teacup and was about to drink some water.
at this time.
General Zhu came to the outside of the tent and reported:
"Your Highness! A messenger from the capital said he has an urgent secret order to tell you in person!"
"Quick, let him in."
Cobra said anxiously, he had a strong premonition that the reason for his panic would soon be revealed!
A messenger, covered in dust and yellow sand, walked in. Running Duck, who had been following him, collapsed to the ground after coming in, gasping for breath.
The messenger saw the real master, knelt on one knee and said hurriedly:
"Your Highness Cobra! His Majesty is seriously ill and has summoned you to return to Albana immediately!"
"Bang!"
The hall was silent except for the sound of a fallen metal cup rolling on the floor.
Cobra was stunned for a second, then took two steps forward and snatched the order from the messenger. After confirming it was correct, he shouted anxiously:
"General, please prepare three running ducks for us immediately. Kit and Jaka, follow me back to the capital immediately!"
Everyone responded immediately!
In the desert, three streams of rolling sand and dust were heading towards the direction of the royal capital. Cobra was riding on a running duck running at full speed, followed by two guards and their respective mounts.
Father!
Could it be that this ominous premonition will come true on my father?
"Run! Faster!"
