One Piece: The Magician

Under the thin curtain of rain, the night in Albana is very peaceful.

Weiwei was lying on the bed tossing and turning. She didn't know why, but she couldn't sleep at all that night.

With a sigh, the blue-haired girl sat up from the soft bed, put on a coat, and walked out of her boudoir.

Walking in the dim corridor, slippers making a very slight sound on the smooth marble floor tiles, Weiwei felt particularly calm at this time.

Go home feeling good

Thinking of this, Princess Weiwei's lips curved in a charming arc.

However, at this moment, Weiwei suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the corridor in front of her. This person was tall and tall, dressed in black. Who could he be if he wasn't Sherlock?

The magician didn't seem to notice that Weiwei was nearby. He knocked lightly on the door of a room, then pushed the door open and entered.

He didn't even sleep with his glasses on.Also, isn’t this my father’s study?

What are the two of them going to say?

Weiwei blinked, her face full of curiosity, and then she walked quietly to the door of Kobula's study, put her little ears to it, and listened attentively.

Although the blue-haired girl felt that eavesdropping was against the rules, she couldn't care less now that she was dominated by curiosity.

Because he was busy with official matters and the magician was still in a comatose state, it was the first time for Kobra to formally meet with the great hero Sherlock.

The wise king looked up and down at the man with glasses sitting in front of him.

The exquisitely made black robe perfectly reflects the slender figure of the owner of the clothes. There is a small amount of silver-white hair unexpectedly growing in the medium-long black hair, which not only does not make people feel weird.Instead, there is a strange sense of harmony.

His skin is fair and delicate, and his delicate facial features.A pair of deep black eyes attracts others' attention like black holes, and the pair of silver-rimmed glasses is more like a stroke of genius.It adds a gentle and elegant noble temperament to it.

No wonder Weiwei fell in love with him, he is really not bad looking.

Even Kobra, a king who has seen countless young talents, couldn't help but sigh when facing Shylock: This young man wearing glasses is impeccable in terms of appearance.

"I'm disturbing your sleep, Sherlock. I'm sorry to have called you over so late." Cobra bowed slightly with an apologetic look on his face.

"How come?" Sherlock responded gracefully: "It is an honor for me to be summoned by your Majesty."

"Haha, really." Kobula chuckled and looked at the magician with his smiling eyes, as if he was looking at his future son-in-law.It makes people feel stressed.

Even though he wasn't a girl lover, Kobra still had a lot of resistance in his heart towards the person who took away his precious daughter's heart.

The king called me here to say something. But no matter what he wants to say, I will implement my plan first.

Sherlock was a little frightened by the strange look in Weiwei's father's eyes, and then he whispered softly and said:

"Your Majesty, I want to discuss something with you."

"Oh, is it something important?"

Kobula narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in surprise, very curious about what the sorcerer would say next.

"Yes. It's very important." Sherlock nodded and said seriously: "Your country has just ended its rebellion and is in need of a lot of resources. It needs a lot of financial and material support."

"It just so happens. This country's spices, perfumes, and various desert specialties contain huge commercial value. So"

Sherlock pushed up his glasses slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I want to discuss a business deal with you."

Weiwei, who was lying outside the door and eavesdropping, heard this and shook her head with a black line.I thought to myself, could this be considered an occupational disease for a businessman? He would do business wherever he went.The same is true for Drum Island, and the same is true for Alabasta.

Port north of Albana.Aboard a moored navy warship.

It was already late at night, so most of the marines were already asleep, except for those who were keeping watch and a pink-haired boy wearing glasses.

"18691870"

As the pink-haired navy's voice became increasingly trembling, the movements of his arms gradually became sluggish and laborious, but even though he was close to the limit of his body, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"2000"

砰

After completing 2000 push-ups, Kebi immediately felt relieved and fell heavily to the ground. He was panting heavily, and his sweat had already wet the surrounding ground.

"Yes, yes, today's movements are much more agile than yesterday." A navy man dressed as a captain looked at Kebi, who was lying on the ground as tired as a dead dog, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, Brother Simon." Kebi wiped the sweat from his head. He almost felt that he was exhausted just now: "Where is Major Alan? I haven't seen her these days."

"Rear Admiral Alan" Hearing this, the navy man named Simon shook his head helplessly: "As soon as we docked, the commander ran away without knowing where. Alas, it's just as troublesome as before."

Having said this, Simon squatted down and pressed the muscles on Kebi's body that were still trembling slightly, and sighed.

"You were already a bit old when you started practicing, and your foundation was not very good, so you can only do some easy training first."

"Easy" Kebi was so shocked when he heard this that his eyes almost popped out of his head. If his whole day's practice could be described as easy, what about the not-easy practice?

Sensing the change in Kebi's expression, Simon said calmly with a serious face:

"How can you have a monster-like body if you don't practice monster-like training?"

"And possessing monster-like physical fitness is one of the prerequisites for practice."

"Navy Style Six" The young navy man struggled to get up. When he was at the navy headquarters, he had often heard these four words mentioned by other navy men.It's just that he never knew what it was.

"Yes, the Sixth Form of the Navy. This is a skill that powerful naval admirals know." A trace of longing flashed in Simon's eyes.

"It can even be said that if you want to become a naval admiral, then you must learn the Sixth Form of the Navy."

Kebi couldn't calm down when he heard this, because isn't his dream to become a naval admiral?

Luffy

A figure wearing a straw hat flashed through the pink-haired navy's mind, and then Kirby seemed to have received invisible encouragement, his eyes flashed with high fighting spirit, and his sore muscles gradually began to feel less painful.

When we meet again, I will definitely surprise you, Mr. Luffy, Kirby pushed up his glasses and swore silently in his heart.

A very pleasant business negotiation, at least that's what Sherlock thought.

"I remember what Weiwei said before. You were a successful businessman when you were in Donghai. Now it seems that Weiwei was right."

Kobra sighed, and then nodded in agreement: "I hope it will be as you said, Sherlock."

After all, according to Sherlock's business plan, cooperation with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is absolutely beneficial to Alabasta.

"You can rest assured about this." Sherlock smiled, pushed up his glasses, and said in a calm but firm tone:

"You will soon find that your wise decision this time will definitely bring your country to a new height."

"Really? I'm really looking forward to this cooperation more and more." Cobra laughed and looked at Sherlock with increasingly satisfied eyes.

Strong.It's true that he has outstanding appearance, superior intelligence, and owns such a huge industry.How could there be such a perfect person?

Maybe Shylock himself didn't notice that he just negotiated a business deal with Cobra, but he inadvertently increased the king's favorability.

Sherlock is now in Cobra's heart.He has gone from the bastard who stole his daughter's heart to the best son-in-law that he has to be.

This should also be attributed to Sherlock’s passive talent that is extremely good at increasing his favorability.

"By the way, Sherlock. I have a question for you." Kobra suddenly straightened his expression and said seriously: "Are you engaged?"

After all, in aristocratic circles.It was extremely common for his parents to arrange an arranged marriage, and Kobra subconsciously thought of the sorcerer as a descendant of a certain nobleman through his noble temperament.

The blue-haired girl outside the engagement door suddenly turned pale. She covered her mouth hard to prevent herself from screaming, and there was already a huge wave in her heart.

If the glasses were really engaged, tears welled up in Weiwei's eyes, and she could no longer imagine it.

"No, because my parents passed away very early, so there is no elder to take care of this kind of thing for me." Mentioning his parents, Sherlock's expression was full of sadness, and at the same time, he felt very sad about Kobra's nonsensical question. Puzzled.

After hearing this answer, the father and daughter, who were separated by a door, let out a sigh of relief almost at the same time. The scene was quite joyful.

"Um, Sherlock." Cobra blinked and asked casually:

"What do you think of Weiwei?"

"Weiwei" Sherlock was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied:

"She is a very lovely, very kind, very responsible and excellent princess."

Although the magician felt that the word "silly girl" would be more appropriate to describe Weiwei, after all, it was in front of her father, so Sherlock still tried to say it in a nice way.

I didn’t expect that my image in my mind’s eye is pretty good, hehehe

Hearing the sorcerer's extremely straightforward words of praise for the first time, Princess Weiwei giggled sweetly. She felt so happy. If possible, she really wanted to dance a song to show her excitement.

"Is that so? You also like Weiwei quite a lot."

The wise king pondered for a moment, and then looked at Sherlock with a serious face as if he had made some important decision in his heart, his eyes flashing with inexplicable meaning.

Daughter, your father can only help you so far.

The expression of a calm-looking man with glasses changed slightly, and an extremely bad premonition inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Actually, the main purpose of calling you here tonight is to ask you a question."

Kobra smiled sincerely at the sorcerer.

"Do you want to get engaged to my daughter Weiwei?"

Do you want to get engaged to my daughter Weiwei?

Get engaged to my daughter Weiwei

Weiwei is engaged

Engaged

what

bang

Cobra's words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Sherlock's mind.

o

He opened his eyes wide in astonishment and looked at the king who wanted to be his father-in-law. His mind went blank as if he had gone crazy. This was the first time in the sorcerer's 24 years.

As expected of the 12th king of Alabasta, he was able to scare the sorcerer, who was always known for his calmness and calmness, into silence with just one sentence.

No matter what, Kobra can rely on this for the rest of his life.To be continued. .
