Chapter 571 Making your own decisions
There are a hundred thousand rebels with many different opinions. It is impossible for such a large army to keep secrets. The time to launch the general attack on the capital was soon on King Cobra's desk.
But even though he knew that the rebels were about to attack, as the last man in the Nefertari family, he could do nothing but let the situation develop in the worst direction.
"Is Weiwei here yet? If she doesn't come yet, Peru, please bring the princess over here. I have something final to say to her."
As the strongest warrior in the Kingdom of Alabasta, Peru humbly knelt on one knee before the king and humbly accepted the task assigned to him by Cobra.
After walking out of the palace, Peru transformed into a giant falcon. After flapping its wings a few times on the ground, it easily soared into the air and flew towards the bar where Princess Vivi and her pirate allies lived.
In the air, he kept an eye on the movements of the nearby streets. At this moment, the streets were crowded with people running in panic, and every street and alley was filled with residents who wanted to flee the capital.
They brought their families and luggage with them, their faces filled with fear and anxiety. Panic was spreading among the crowd, and everyone was afraid that they would escape too slowly and be affected by the war.
Young children clung to their parents' hands and cried; the elderly walked with difficulty with the help of crutches; some nobles had too much money, so after packing up their belongings, their vehicles overturned and blocked an entire street.
The streets of the capital were filled with a tense atmosphere. People's shouts and noisy footsteps intertwined to form a chaotic symphony. Peru saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart. He didn't know why his country had come to this point.
In the world of One Piece, the kings of other countries are all celebrities, but Nefertari Cobra is a rare normal person who knows how to sympathize with his subordinates and care for the people. However, there was a severe drought in the country, and the capital has never used dancing powder.
As a personal bodyguard, Peru is almost inseparable from King Cobra. How could the other party have time to sprinkle dancing powder in the air? This was all an evil conspiracy of Baroque Studio.
Although Princess Weiwei brought back intelligence, she did not bring back evidence. Even if Her Royal Highness had evidence in her hands, the restless rebels would not admit its authenticity. The two sides are only one step away from fighting, and by then there will be a large-scale bloody conflict.
Peru felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He didn't know who could save the country. Even if the Straw Hat Pirates could defeat Baroque Studio, the 100,000 rebels who had completely lost their minds were like a huge thunder that could blow everyone up. Who could guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed from the chaos and war in the country?
After soaring in the air for several minutes, Peru finally saw the destination of this trip, but he heard some unpleasant noises outside. Two female voices were arguing with each other.
"Weiwei, how can we resist the rebels? There are 100,000 of them. Even if Luffy and his men can defeat many people by themselves, they will eventually run out of energy. Our Straw Hat Pirates is just a small pirate group and cannot shoulder the responsibility of saving the country."
Nami will not spoil Her Royal Highness the Princess. The little thief has seen other princesses on the sea and has stolen many of their treasures. In Nami's eyes, these women are all fat sheep.
Princess Vivi wanted to use her cheap tears to deceive Luffy into fighting against a navy of more than 100,000 people. Miss Navigator was the first to stand up and oppose it. The future is the future and the present is the present. Miss Nami knows exactly how much weight and strength her group has now and will not be proud and complacent.
Luffy originally wanted to repay Princess Vivi's favor since he had been eating and drinking for free in the past few days, and he was about to ask his companions to agree to fight against the rebels. However, Robin covered his mouth as soon as the words came to his lips. He and Nami still had some tacit understanding in this regard, and the two women cooperated with each other at once.
"The irrational rebels will destroy this country completely. I can only rely on you. Please save my country. I will agree to any conditions."
Under the gazes of everyone, a princess of a country knelt on the ground. Princess Vivi's eyes were full of despair and helplessness. Tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, soaking her cheeks. Her tearful appearance made people feel pity.
Her country is facing a huge crisis, and Vivi is desperate. The enemy's guns are raging outside the capital. It is only a matter of time before the country falls. The people are living in dire straits. As a princess, she has the mission of saving the country, but at this moment she feels that her power is so small.
Vivi's sudden kneeling made the whole room of pirates fall into silence. A princess of a country just gave up her dignity. The Kingdom of Alabasta was really facing a life-and-death moment. If one wanted to become a hero who saved the princess, he would definitely pay a huge price, and might even sacrifice his life.
"Nami-chan, why don't we give it a try? If the number of rebels is too large, it won't be too late to run away then..."
Before Sanji could finish his soft words, he was glared back at by Nami with a fierce look. It was really not the right time to be a hero and save the beauty. Once they were surrounded by the rebels, the Straw Hat Pirates might get separated in the chaos, and the lives of the crew members would be out of their control afterwards.
However, the princess did not give up. She knew very well that only by seeking help from the strong could her country be saved. She straightened her back and raised her head high, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, and her kneeling position remained unchanged.
Peru was furious when he saw this scene. When had he ever seen Princess Vivi suffer such injustice? If his strength allowed it, this loyal subordinate really wanted to beat up the pirate and help the princess regain her lost dignity.
Transforming from a bird into a human, Peru pushed the door open and entered the tavern. He explained his purpose in a clear and sharp manner: "Your Highness, the King urges you to return as soon as possible. Please come with me."
"I can't leave. The Kingdom of Alabasta still needs me to save it. Sir Luffy, please help me again. This is the last request I will make of you in my life."
Seeing the woman's sad eyes, Luffy's psychological defenses lowered again, and he began to struggle in Robin's arms. The boy wanted to live up to Her Royal Highness the Princess's expectations and become a hero who saved the country, but these teenagers had no resistance to this.
However, this time the two women joined hands. Nami and Robin reached a consensus on seeking benefits and avoiding harm without any discussion. As long as Luffy was not allowed to talk or move around randomly, the other crew members would not express too many opinions.
In the end, Princess Vivi left the Straw Hat Pirates with a desolate back. She did not get the answer she wanted, and left the tavern disappointedly on her giant falcon.
