Chapter 106 Listening to the Existence of History?
The appearance of an airship put the entire city of Albana on high alert.
Alabasta's two chief protectors, Bel the Falcon and Jakka the Jackal, stood guard closely beside King Cobra, their faces grave as they gazed at the golden airship in the sky.
"Your Majesty, it's the Luo Ji Pirates who killed the Celestial Dragons!!"
Falcon Bell's sharp eyes quickly spotted the flags and the faces of some wanted criminals on the golden airship, and he was immediately startled.
"Your Majesty, hide quickly! They might be about to attack you!"
Jackal Jakka hurriedly dragged King Cobra to the underground chamber, after all, the Nefertari clan was also one of the twenty kings.
Even if the Nefertari clan doesn't become Celestial Dragons later on, they still have a very high chance of becoming the target of the Luo Ji Pirates.
After all, Luo Ji is not only offering bounties on the Celestial Dragons, but has also declared war on the World Government.
As one of the fifty nations of the World Conference, if Law were to kill King Cobra, it would severely damage the prestige and reputation of the World Government.
Cobra was also extremely wary of the lawless Luo Ji Pirates.
But the thought of what would happen if Luo Ji took his anger out on the people of Albana if he disappeared was too much to bear.
Albana now includes 60 royal troops, but has millions of subjects.
"I cannot abandon my people and hide away alone!"
King Cobra's face was solemn. Even if it meant death, he could not bear to watch his people being slaughtered by pirates.
Moreover, with him personally commanding the battle, he might even be able to lead a large number of soldiers to repel these pirates.
He refused to believe that his 60-strong army couldn't defeat a single pirate crew!
"king!!"
Bel the Falcon and Jakka the Jackal looked at their king with reverence, the king they loved.
"Since the king wants to fight, we are not afraid to fight!"
Bell of the Falcon and Jakka of the Jackal immediately assembled their most elite troops to protect the king.
Even if the 60-strong army is worn down, they will still wear down several members of the Luo Ji Pirates.
Just as the Cobra crew were on high alert, a bird carrying a Den Den Mushi flew down and landed above Cobra.
"Hey, Cobra, please respond if you hear me."
"If you don't want to cause more casualties, please prepare for a peaceful negotiation."
"By the way, the mastermind behind the attacks on Alabasta, the guy who used the dancing powder, has been dealt with by me."
"Rainfall will soon return to cities throughout Alabasta."
"Also, I'm not interested in your life."
I'm just here to collect my payment; I don't want bloodshed.
Luo Ji's nonchalant voice reached the ears of Cobra, Bell, and Jaka through the Den Den Mushi.
"What! Rain is about to return to other cities in Alabasta?!"
Kobra and his companions exclaimed in delight. In recent years, major cities in Alabasta had experienced a lack of rain, while Albana had received abundant rainfall.
Under the planning of some ambitious individuals and conspirators, the spearhead was aimed directly at Cobra, and the people of major cities rose up in rebellion, marching towards the royal capital Albana.
"We helped you resolve such a huge problem this time, so it's not unreasonable for you to take something as a reward!"
"If you dare to refuse, then we will have no choice but to take it by force."
Luo Ji continued, as two powerful bursts of Conqueror's Haki erupted on the airship and pressed down downwards.
In an instant, large numbers of the king's army fell like wheat being harvested, their eyes rolling back in their heads.
Luo Ji didn't have time to waste in Alabasta.
Firstly, they were worried that the Five Elders of the World Government would come after them; secondly, they wanted to quickly plan against the few powerful individuals they had their eyes on.
"Captain Luo Ji, wait a minute! Tone down your arrogance, I'll give you anything you want!!"
Under the terrifying Conqueror's Haki, King Cobra shouted, and even he and his two guards trembled.
This oppressive aura is truly terrifying.
Over 100,000 soldiers fell to this terrifying force.
"Very good, let's discuss the compensation properly!"
Luo Ji smiled faintly, and the Ark Proverb slowly descended under his control.
Not long after.
King Cobra led the distinguished guests, including the Luo Ji Pirates, into the kingdom for detailed discussions.
Cobra is also afraid now, after all, Luo Ji is a notorious pirate who is wanted by the World Government.
If the Celestial Dragons find out that Cobra and Luo Ji have been in contact, Cobra will probably be in trouble too.
"I won't cheat you. Just report to the World Government that I robbed you!"
"Without the mastermind behind it all, I believe you can appease your people!"
Luo Ji quickly began negotiating terms with Kobra.
Luo Ji made an outrageous demand, asking for half of Alabasta's national treasury.
Of course, there's also the historical inscription in the royal tomb.
After much deliberation, Kobra finally agreed to Luo Ji's conditions.
After all, they are no match for the Luo Ji Pirates right now, and if the rebels continue to fight and confront each other, the national treasury will continue to be depleted, and countless civilians and soldiers will be killed or wounded.
Consider this a case of losing money to avert disaster.
As for historical texts, I can only blame myself for not being able to protect them.
However, Cobra made a copy of the historical text as a royal heirloom.
All we need to do is pass on those ancient written messages.
To avoid too much contact with the Luo Ji Pirates and arouse suspicion from the World Government.
Cobra acted swiftly and decisively, delivering the treasure and the Poneglyphs to the Luo Ji Pirates.
He also rushed to deal with the rebels and spread the good news that rainfall would soon return to major cities.
Finally, Cobra also summoned back Princess Vivi and Icarus, who were lurking in the Baroque Workshop.

The Ark's Proverbs on Flying Away from Alabasta.
Luo Ji was surprised that the King of Kobra was so decisive and straightforward, giving them the treasure and the historical text.
Robin was also surprised to find that Luo Ji had collected four more historical texts besides this one, including a red historical text that she had never seen before.
This almost made her jaw drop.
During her ten or twenty years in exile, aside from a piece of historical text under the Tree of Ohara, she only encountered one other piece of text on her escape route.
As a result, Luo Ji, who had been at sea for less than half a year, actually obtained five pieces!
At that moment, Robin knew that only by following Luo Ji could she find all the Poneglyphs!
"There is actually another historical text in the Alabasta desert, but I can't find its whereabouts now."
Looking at Robin, who was completely captivated, Luo Ji stroked his chin and said.
He remembered that Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper, while traveling in the Alabasta desert, accidentally stumbled into a deep pit and encountered a historical text.
It was such a coincidence.
I don't know if it's the protagonist's halo or the Observation Haki that Luffy possesses, which allows him to hear everything, or some other mysterious attraction.
Thinking of this, Luo Ji couldn't help but activate his Observation Haki, which allows him to hear all things.
It's important to know that the Pirate King Roger relied on this ability to find the Poneglyphs.
I don't know if I can use this ability to 'hear' the voices emanating from the historical text.
If I also have the protagonist's halo, then let me 'hear' your voice, historical text!
The next moment, Luo Ji actually 'heard' a faint, peculiar sound that was drawing him in.
