The outskirts of Arupana.

There is this area of ​​farmland and houses nestled next to an oasis.

This is a village established by King Kobra of Alabasta to resettle the civilians who lost their homes due to the sandstorm.

However, unlike the deserted place in the past, it is very lively here today.

Because it was a novelty for everyone, the king and princess of Alabasta actually came here.

As the king, Kobra obviously came here secretly. Is that the reason? Very simple!

Just look at Princess Vivi playing with ordinary civilians in the distance.

"Is it really strange? The princess of this country actually appears in the homes of ordinary civilians and plays with their children?"

"Maybe this is a symbol of peace in this country."

King Kobra, who was hiding in the corner, felt a little relieved when he heard the words of these villagers.

On the one hand, I am happy that my daughter has made friends, and on the other hand, I am also happy to see that my daughter can appreciate the suffering of the people, because only in this way can the future Vivi become the queen who can shoulder the responsibility of this country.

However, as the king of a country, he naturally couldn't stay here forever. However, seeing his daughter's happy appearance, he couldn't bear to take her away like this.

Just when he was about to give the order to let the guard captain Ikarum protect the princess, he went back alone.

Above the sky, there was a sound of breaking through the sky.

Kobra was very familiar with this sound. When he looked up, he saw a huge eagle falling from the sky and landing next to him, and then transformed into a humanoid boy.

Such a huge change naturally cannot escape the eyes of the civilians here. Everyone is looking at this place with curiosity and fear.

They had never seen Demon fruit power before, so when they saw a huge peregrine falcon turned into a human, of course they were a little frightened, but Vivi rushed towards it with a happy face.

"Bell! It's you, why are you here?"

"Bell!?"

This name made everyone present stunned, and then they also said with some surprise.

"Is that Bell, who is called the patron saint of Alabasta and one of the strongest warriors in the kingdom?"

"It's really him!"

"Amazing!"

"Your Highness Vivi!"

The boy named Bell looked at Princess Vivi fondly, and then said to Kobra with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, Captain Ikramu, you must go back immediately, it is no longer safe here!"

Vivi was stunned, and Cobra on the side felt something and asked seriously.

"What happened?"

Bell nodded.

"I just received the information that a lot of pirate bounty hunters have suddenly gathered around the royal city, and the number is extremely large, at least tens of thousands. Huka has put the royal army on alert."

"What!"

Not only Kobra and Ikramu, but also Vivi and the civilians nearby were shocked.

"what happened?"

Ikramu asked anxiously.

"Is someone going to attack us Alabasta?"

Bell shook his head.

"Your Majesty, Captain Ikarum, according to the information we received, those pirate bounty hunters are here to capture two wanted criminals from the World Government."

"the wanted!?"

Seeing the confused looks of the king and captain, Bell took out two bounty orders signed by Marine from his arms.

The only picture I saw showed a defiant black-haired boy surrounded by countless bloody bats under the moonlight, and the other picture showed a little girl who looked seven or eight years old.

"Vampire Gnar"

"First reward: 45 million Baileys."

"Zoan·Bat Fruit Power User."

"No matter life or death!"

"Son of the Devil·Nico Robin"

"Bounty: 79 million Baileys."

"Paramecia·Flower-Flower Fruit user."

"Must be captured alive!"

The young Vivi and Kosha looked at the two photos on the reward order and were extremely curious in their hearts.

Because in their opinion, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about the two photos on the reward order, especially the second one. Isn't it a child about the same age as them?

But Cobra and Ikramu understood something when they looked at the reward order.

One hundred million beli is definitely a number that would make any pirate force jealous.

"Are these two wanted criminals coming towards us Alabasta?"

Bell nodded.

"Reporting to your Majesty and the captain, according to the information we received, they landed in Nahana five days ago. Moreover, according to the news circulated among this group of pirate hunters, this pirate named Vampire Gnar, he has The Devil Fruit may not be an ordinary Zoan, but a legendary phantom beast species."

"What!!! Phantom beast species!!!"

Cobra's expression changed drastically. He seemed to understand why these pirate hunters wanted to capture this pirate so much.

Vivi on the side asked with some confusion.

"Father, what is a phantom beast species?"

But Kobra didn't explain, and asked immediately.

"Any more news?"

Bell nodded with a solemn expression.

"I still got the news from the group of pirate hunters. I heard that this vampire Narr killed thousands of people in one night at the entrance of the Grand Line, a town called Whiskey Peak..."

"!!!"

It wasn't just Cobra whose expression changed drastically at this time. Ikramu, Vivi, and Kosha on the side all had pale faces. Killing thousands of people in one night was a terrifying concept.

But Bell wasn't done yet.

"In addition, Nico Robin, the son of the devil, is currently with this pirate. The combined bounty of the two is at least 100 million beli. Moreover, if the Phantom Beast species is confirmed, the bounty of Vampire Gnar may increase. higher..."

By this time, Kobra no longer hesitated.

"Ekram, come back with me. Bell, take Vivi back to the Royal City, and tell the villagers in all the surrounding villages to find a place to hide. If it doesn't work, you can let them enter the Royal City to hide..."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

As Kobra left in a hurry, the entire village started to move towards the royal city.

"Your Highness Vivi, let's go back too!"

Vivi originally wanted to agree, but when she saw Kosha and a group of companions who had just recognized her as the deputy leader, she shook her head.

"Bell, I want to go back with them!"

Bell was stunned. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Her Highness the Princess' determined look, he suddenly nodded happily.

"I understand, Your Highness Princess. Then, it is up to you to lead the civilians here into the royal city. I will be responsible for guarding the sky and informing other villages..."

"Um!"

Vivi nodded happily and said excitedly to Kosha and her sand and sand group friends behind her.

"Kosa, this is the first time that our Shasha group is together. Let us protect everyone and move towards the royal city."

Kosha and the little kids' blood instantly boiled with excitement.

When they were young, they didn't know what fear was, but they found it interesting to hear that they, as children, could protect adults.

So, under the leadership of Vivi and others, the entire village of civilians began to move quickly towards the royal city.

——————————————

The capital of Alabasta is Aruba.

It is a city standing on a high mountain, surrounded by five gates that can enter the royal city.

However, at this time, the place was heavily guarded and no outsiders were allowed to enter or exit.

Outside the three gates facing the west of the royal city, a large group of bounty hunters with evil faces and greedy faces were already crowded.

In the distance, there are many small black dots slowly coming over.

Inside the Royal City, Robin and Zala, who were wearing cloaks and hats, had already passed through the waterway of the Santo River and quietly sneaked into the Royal City in advance...
