Chapter 136 - 136: Request to See History The heavy rain lasted for an entire day and night before finally stopping. Now, the drought problem in Alabasta had been completely solved. After completing their mission, the sky island Visalia left Alabasta with plenty of funds. In the royal palace, Cobra and Vivi were deeply grateful, expressing their heartfelt thanks to every member of the Dream Team. Without their successful contact with Visalia, Alabasta might have faced a much worse situation, even leading to more serious riots. At this moment, the Dream Team, along with King Cobra, Princess Vivi, and several Alabasta officials, were holding a lively banquet in the royal palace. The atmosphere was light and joyful, filled with laughter and cheer. "Everyone from the Dream Team, thank you for helping us get through this crisis in Alabasta!" "Cheers!" Cobra raised his glass and shouted. "Cheers~~~" Everyone responded, raising their glasses and shouting together. The banquet for the twenty or so people was very lively, and after clinking glasses, everyone happily enjoyed the delicious food. Before they knew it, everyone was fully immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet. "Yahaha~~~" "Vivi, you can't even drink Satoshi wine? That's so lame~~~" Nami said, slapping her thigh and teasing Vivi. Her eyes sparkled with mockery, a smirk on her face. "Nami!" Vivi suddenly became embarrassed. Her face turned red, and she seemed flustered. Among everyone present, she was the only one still drinking fruit juice and milk, which made her feel very awkward. Even Robin, who never drank wine, now held a wine cup, because she no longer had to worry about her bounty. "Hahaha~~~" "Vivi, you're an adult now, you need to learn to drink wine!" Kuina said, patting Vivi's shoulder while holding a large wine glass. She had already finished half of her drink in one go. Seeing this, Leah also joined in to make things more lively. Ryuen looked at the group of women surrounding Vivi, and his lips twitched. He felt that Vivi might end up picking up some bad habits from these girls. In the years in East Blue, these girls had completely lost their image in Ryuen's eyes. "Hehe~~~" Cobra had a loving and content smile on his face. Looking at the young people before him, his heart was filled with emotions. He knew that if it weren't for the Dream Team, Alabasta might have fallen into chaos and crisis by now. But now, everything had turned out so well. He raised his cup and walked over to Ryuen, expressing his sincere gratitude, "Ryuen, thank you so much. If you hadn't contacted Visalia in time, Alabasta could have really fallen into endless warfare." Ryuen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and then clinked glasses with Cobra. After drinking it all, he smiled and said, "King Cobra, you're too polite. We just did what we thought was the right thing to do." Cobra chuckled at Ryuen's words, "Haha, you are all talented and capable young people." "However, King Cobra, if you're going to thank us, there is one thing I'd like to ask of you. I believe you have a Poneglyph here, right?" Ryuen glanced at Robin, who was elegantly savoring her food, and then spoke. Cobra's heart shook at these words. He followed Ryuen's gaze and immediately understood what Ryuen meant by asking for help. But he still calmly replied, "Yes, Alabasta has a Poneglyph. However, it is not something we can just show to anyone." Ryuen smiled slightly, his confident grin showing, "King Cobra, I know the significance of this Poneglyph to Alabasta, but I believe you also understand the secrets and importance it holds. I hope to get your permission to let my companions help interpret this Poneglyph." Cobra stayed silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright, since that's the case, I'll arrange a proper time for you to enter the place where the Poneglyph is kept. But before that, I need to make sure you won't damage this precious historical artifact." Ryuen understood and assured Cobra that they would be very careful with the Poneglyph. Cobra hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "But, Ryuen, if she joins your team, won't the World Government have an issue with it?" Ryuen shrugged and smiled, "The World Government's opinion doesn't matter to us. We're after true freedom, not bound by the rules of the World Government." Cobra frowned when he heard this. The Dream Exploration Team had ties to the World Government, but Ryuen and his group's actions confused him. Over the past few days, through his contact with Ryuen and the others, Cobra realized they didn't seem to care much about the World Government. What surprised him even more was that they had allowed someone like Nico Robin to join their team, which left Cobra even more puzzled. "Ryuen, your actions confuse me. Aren't you afraid of the World Government's punishment?" Cobra couldn't help but ask. "Hahahaha..." Ryuen laughed loudly and answered firmly, "King Cobra, we're not afraid of the World Government's punishment. We only do what we believe is right. Justice isn't something we need to protect!" Cobra's eyes widened. He felt that these young people were a bit reckless. But maybe it was this boldness to challenge authority that made them such a unique team. ... On the streets of Albana. Aokiji looked at Alabasta, which had now solved the drought problem. The people on the street no longer carried the anger they had before. Now, everyone had smiles on their faces, and some people were even talking about how wise King Cobra was. Aokiji's presence here was partly due to the Marines feeling guilty towards Alabasta, or perhaps it was part of the Marine's response after dealing with the collapse of the Seven Warlords. Before Aokiji arrived, Alabasta's biggest problem had been the drought, so they wanted to use Aokiji's freezing fruit ability to solve it. What they didn't expect was that Alabasta had found the small sky island Visalia. Now that the drought issue had been solved, Aokiji didn't need to continue freezing the desert. The reason he was still here was because of Nico Robin. After Garp returned, he had reported to the Marine headquarters about her involvement with the Dream Exploration Team. Aokiji now wanted to meet these young people. --- ---- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
