One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

In the hot desert, yellow sand rolled, and in the hot gravel, two camels slowly moved forward in the sand sea.

As the wind and sand blew, An tightened the characteristic clothes of Alabasta on his body, glanced at the dazed girl, and couldn't help but comfort her.

"Don't worry, Vivi, Crocodile's plan has just begun, and it won't endanger the safety of Alabasta for the time being."

Since hearing the news from Jerabi that the pirate attack was planned by Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Vivi has been in a state of worry.

In this era where pirates are supreme, as the third largest maritime force on par with the navy and the Four Emperors, even a superpower like Alabasta is powerless to resist.

Finding that his comfort was ineffective, An simply stopped talking, and pulled the ice chain on his hand hard, reminding Jerabi, whose hands were locked by the sea tower behind him, to hurry up.

Feeling the movement on the chain, the exhausted Jerabi sped up his pace with fear on his face. He never wanted to experience that kind of pain in his soul again.

At the same time that An and Vivi were heading to Alubana, the capital of Alabasta, Bell, one of the guardians of the kingdom, left the palace after receiving the news that Princess Vivi had been kidnapped.

…

A day later, in the direction of Rapeseed Harbor to Alubana, a special eagle hovered over An and Vivi's heads.

With the eagle's powerful eyesight, Bell found Vivi with a sad face.

Bel, who had regarded Vivi as his sister since childhood, was furious when he determined that An was the mysterious person who kidnapped Vivi. With powerful wings flapping, brown feathers turned into sharp blades, avoiding Vivi and shooting towards An.

An, who was well prepared, opened her mouth and spewed out red flames, drowning the sharp blades.

At the same time, Bell, wearing an Arab headscarf, four-star dark purple makeup on his eyes, and wrapped in a white robe, came to Vivi.

Knowing the man's identity, An did not stop the other party's action, but let Bell take Vivi away.

On the endless yellow sand, Bell protected Vivi behind him intimately, and he looked at the girl riding on the camel with a serious face.

As the two guardians of the kingdom, Bell recognized An's identity at the first time. He was a big pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion Baileys for the first time.

"Monkey D. An, what do big pirates like you want to do by kidnapping Princess Vivi!" Bell looked at An vigilantly, holding the sword on his waist with sweat.

Although he knew that he would not be the opponent of the person in front of him, as the guardian of the kingdom, he could not let down the trust of the people and the king, not to mention that Princess Vivi was behind him.

Looking down at Bell from a high position, An gave an answer that Bell did not expect, "I came to Alabasta just for a trip."

His face was still solemn. As the guardian of the kingdom, Bell would not easily believe the words of pirates.

But at this moment, Vivi came back to her senses and explained, "Brother Bell, An did not kidnap me. I asked An for help."

"Princess Vivi, don't be fooled by this guy. She is a pirate who betrayed the navy some time ago and was rewarded with 1.5 billion Baileys."

With Bell's hint, Vivi finally understood where the familiarity she felt when she first met An came from, but soon Vivi said firmly, "Even so, I believe that An is different from other pirates."

Although the two did not spend much time together, Vivi could clearly feel the difference between An and other pirates.

Looking at Princess Vivi, who looked like she was being drugged, Bell shook her head and could only stand aside vigilantly as usual.

An did not care about Bell's hostility at all. After all, he could kill countless Bells with one hand.

Riding on the camel again, with Bell leading the way in the sky, the two continued to the capital of Alabasta.

In the conference hall of the palace in Alupana, after a long journey, An finally met the king of Alabasta.

Unlike the animation in his previous life, Cobra at this time has not experienced a series of thefts planned by Crocodile. The whole person still has black hair and not many wrinkles on his face.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Miss An, my daughter has caused you trouble along the way."

Unlike Bell's hostility, the kind Cobra touched his daughter's hair and said apologetically.

Waving his hand to indicate that it was nothing, An carefully looked at Cobra's palace. It turned out that he was a rare kind king in the pirate world. There was no expensive decoration in the huge palace conference hall, and even many places where things were originally placed were now empty.

Hearing her father say that she was causing trouble, the dissatisfied Vivi immediately told her father Cobra about the gains of this outing.

"Crocodile, why did he do this?" After learning the whole story, Cobra sat on the throne in the hall and muttered to himself.

In fact, among the four people present, except An, no one could figure out what Crocodile wanted to do.

If it was for money, Cobra thought it was unnecessary. Alabasta seemed to have a vast territory and was a superpower, but in fact most of the land was desert and could not be used at all, so the annual national income was actually not much.

If it wasn't for money, was it for this country? Cobra soon abandoned this idea. After all, Alabasta is a country left by the descendants of 20 kings. The World Government will not allow pirates to occupy it, even if you are a recognized Shichibukai.

But what Cobra didn't expect was that Crocodile, as a ruthless man, didn't care about the World Government at all. He was seeking this country, or the "Pluto" buried under this country, the "worst battleship" that can destroy an island with one shot. Of course, what Crocodile didn't know was that his plan was doomed to fail, because this battleship was not in Alabasta at all.

Seeing that she couldn't figure out Crocodile's purpose, Vivi, who had been silent, suddenly suggested: "Father, let me go out to find Crocodile. As long as I find him, all the problems will be solved."

"No, Crocodile is a notorious pirate," Cobra, as a father, directly denied his daughter's method.

Hearing her father's rejection of her, Vivi took out her trump card, hugged Cobra's arm with both hands and began to act like a spoiled child.

At first, Cobra could still decisively refuse, but as Vivi continued to exert her strength, Cobra, as a daughter slave, could only look at An in the hall.

An noticed Cobra's look of help and understood the meaning. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said: "I can help Vivi find Crocodile, and I can even solve Crocodile myself, but after solving such a thing, you need to meet one of my conditions."

The girl's voice resounded in the conference hall. Both Cobra and Vivi looked at An seriously: "If you can really solve Crocodile, then I agree to your conditions."

If a big crisis can be resolved with one condition, Cobra is willing to make this deal.

With a pinch of his fingers, leaving a 1 cm gap between his thumb and index finger, An said easily: "I can beat 10 little bastards like this."
