Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Chapter 520 Weiwei's Telegram

Ling Yan and Wei Wei landed on the palace square of Albana. The flames slowly dissipated and the guards around them saluted and respectfully welcomed the return of their princess.

King Cobra was already standing at the gate of the palace with a loving smile on his face and eyes full of relief.

"Father!" Weiwei jumped down from the flaming cloud and walked quickly forward, her face filled with joy of reunion.

"Weiwei, you are finally back." King Cobra patted Weiwei's shoulder gently, with a trace of heartache in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said with a smile: "Father, I didn't have to do anything at all. I just stayed on Nine Snake Island for a few days. It was father, those damn CP0... But fortunately, father returned safely."

King Cobra nodded, then looked at Ling Yan and nodded slightly: "Mr. Ling Yan, thank you for escorting Weiwei all the way back."

Ling Yan smiled and waved his hand: "King Cobra is too polite. Weiwei is my partner, and it is my duty to escort her."

King Cobra smiled slightly, then turned sideways and made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Ling Yan must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't you go in and rest first? I have asked someone to prepare a dinner."

Ling Yan and Weiwei looked at each other, nodded, and followed King Cobra into the palace.

At the dinner, royal family members and ministers of Alabasta gathered together, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Vivi sat next to King Cobra with a faint smile on her face, and whispered a few words to her father from time to time.

Ling Yan sat aside, enjoying the food quietly and occasionally responding to greetings from people around him.

Halfway through the banquet, King Cobra raised his glass, stood up, looked around at everyone, and slowly said:

“Today, we are not only celebrating Weiwei’s return, but also welcoming the upcoming World Conference.

This meeting will determine the future of our world, and Alabasta, as one of the founding nations, shoulders an important responsibility."

Everyone nodded, with serious expressions on their faces. Weiwei also put down the cutlery in her hands and listened carefully to her father's speech.

"Mr. Ling Yan," King Cobra looked at Ling Yan with a hint of respect in his tone, "As a core member of the Dream Expedition Team and a key figure in overthrowing the Celestial Dragons and the corrupt World Government, can you share with us your views on the future?"

Ling Yan put down his wine glass, smiled slightly, and stood up:

“Cobra, you’re too kind.

In fact, my partners and I just did what we thought was right.

The world of the future should be a more equal and free world.

The merger of the Navy and the Revolutionary Army, and the establishment of the New World Government, are all aimed at achieving this goal."

King Cobra nodded, his expression solemn: "Indeed, this sea needs more equality and freedom, and Alabasta is willing to contribute its strength to this end."

Weiwei also stood up and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Father, I will continue to work hard for world peace."

King Cobra looked at his daughter with satisfaction, his eyes full of pride: "Well, Weiwei, you have grown into an excellent leader."

After the dinner, Ling Yan and Wei Wei took a walk in the palace garden. The night breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of flower fragrance, and the moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, making them look particularly peaceful.

"Ling Yan, thank you." Weiwei suddenly spoke, her voice soft but with a hint of firmness.

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for your continued support and trust." Weiwei raised her head, her eyes clear and sincere, "Without your help and your companions, my father and I might have died."

Ling Yan shook his head and said gently: "Weiwei, you are our partner, so you don't have to be so polite. I will be unhappy if you say that."

Weiwei smiled slightly, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "Actually... sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't met you."

Ling Yan looked at Wei Wei with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "So what do you think it will be like?"

Weiwei was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

“Perhaps… I will always be trapped in the constraints of the palace, unable to truly see the beauty and cruelty of this world.

It is because of meeting you that I understand that the world is more than just the small world in front of me. "

Ling Yan nodded, with a hint of emotion in his tone: "Yes, the world is big, full of unknowns and challenges. But it is these unknowns that make our journey meaningful."

Weiwei raised her head and looked at the sky gently. Ling Yan didn't say anything else.

The two continued to stroll in the garden, the moonlight shining on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

In the night sky, the stars are twinkling, as if silently watching the pair walking side by side.

The next morning, Ling Yan prepared to leave Alabasta. Weiwei stood at the gate of the palace and watched him go.

"Ling Yan..." Weiwei couldn't help but speak.

Ling Yan, who was about to transform into a full beast, stopped when he heard Weiwei's voice. He looked at Weiwei and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Weiwei."

Weiwei's pretty face blushed, then she shook her head and responded:

"never mind.

I was thinking about going on this adventure with you guys.

But now I also have to take charge of handling Alabasta's government affairs.

I don’t know when I can go out to sea with you all.”

"Hehehe...Vivi, Alabasta is very big, and it is not easy to handle the affairs of this country. What you are doing now is also great." Ling Yan said softly with a smile.

"Um!

I think so too.

So I can't let my people down, I will work hard to be a good king of Alabasta!" Vivi said with a firm look in her eyes.

"My friends and I also believe that you can do it!" Ling Yan said seriously.

……

A few minutes later, Weiwei looked at Ling Yan who was leaving, and suddenly took out a Den Den Mushi from her pocket.

The most important thing is that Den Den Mushi is still on the phone.

“Hahahaha…Weiwei, you’re such a coward. You didn’t even seize such a good opportunity!”

"Humph! Aren't you still the same? You haven't told him what's in your heart?"

"I'm different. I grew up with him, so we're too familiar with each other to open up!"

"I don't believe it, you're just a coward!"

"...Weiwei, you are going too far!"
