Chapter 375 Weiwei
"Wei...Weiwei?! Where's Ikalem? Why did you sneak here alone?"
Cobra took two steps at a time and approached the girl, pulling her in front of him and deliberately avoiding the sensitive topic. He said this with great concern.
He didn't know why Yakumo Bai suddenly revealed such shocking information to him, but it was obvious that no matter whether it was true or false, it was not something that Vivi could get involved in at this time.
In order to avoid possible risks, Cobra had to observe the changes in Yakumo Shiro's expression while trying to change the subject. However, he didn't know that Yakumo Shiro had already anticipated the other party's caution.
After all, revealing this yet-to-be-revealed secret to the two Nefertite royals present was one of Yakumo Shiro's original goals, because only in this way would they attempt to touch that taboo.
This concerns the authority of the World Government and the whereabouts of their ancestors. As members of the royal family of the franchised kings and descendants of the twenty kings, they have no choice but to take the first step to explore. As one of the few royal families with a sense of responsibility and commitment, Yakumo Shiro believes in his own judgment of the two.
"Well....."
On the other side, Vivi, who had just recovered from the embarrassment of being discovered, quickly noticed something unusual in Cobra's strange look. Although she was also surprised and shocked by what she had just overheard, her clever little head naturally understood that the best choice at this time was to remain silent.
I can only say that I should be grateful to Cobra for his education and influence on his daughter. Otherwise, any other eight-year-old princess would panic at this time and bring disaster upon herself.
Children speak without restraint, and Yakumo Bai knows this kind of thing very well.
"Hehehe~ What's the big deal? Can't the princess of Alabasta come and pay homage to her ancestors?"
Putting aside her previous embarrassment, the girl said this with her usual vigor. Now that things have come to this, although the scene is a little different from what she expected, should she be able to express her thoughts?
"Well, of course you can, but you have to do the right thing at the right time. Vivi, as a princess, you're interrupting your father and Alabasta's benefactor while they're discussing important matters. That's not proper etiquette~"
As Cobra said this, he bowed slightly to Yakumo Shiro to apologize, and was about to pull Vivi away from here. However, he didn't expect that the usually well-behaved girl suddenly broke free from his hand, lifted up her skirt and ran towards Yakumo Shiro who was watching the show leisurely.
She gently straightened her slightly disheveled dress, took a deep breath to calm her surging heartbeat, and bowed slowly with her usual elegant and generous manner. When the blazing gaze reflected by the dark pupils caught Yakumo Shiro's eyes, she heard the girl say in a gentle but firm tone,
"Master Yakumo! Please be my teacher!"
"!!!"
"This is going to be interesting~"
The passionate voice echoed again and again in the stone chamber, causing Cobra, who had not yet recovered from the shock, to freeze on the spot. Robin, who was standing beside him, covered his mouth with his hands and chuckled with interest, glancing at Yakumo Shiro with eyes full of teasing and ridicule.
"Wait, wait! Weiwei, what are you talking about..."
Fearing that the girl's reckless behavior would anger the man with extraordinary strength, Cobra immediately wanted to forcibly pull the girl away, but unexpectedly, Yakumo Shiro just waved his hand lightly, without taking his eyes off the courageous girl in front of him.
"Haha~ Interesting idea, but have you really thought it through? Asking a pirate to be your teacher?
Let me make it clear in advance, my price is not low~ Besides, how can you be sure of convincing me? Don't forget, the entire country under your feet was saved by me. Even a historical text is far less than its price. After all, this kind of thing is easy to get.
"Well......"
Hearing this, the girl showed no surprise. She just pursed her lips, then raised her big, twinkling eyes again and answered word by word.
"I know that even in the entirety of Alabasta, this historical text is probably the only one that could capture your interest. A mere princess from a desert kingdom is naturally not worth mentioning...
However, please believe that this desire to protect our people is truly genuine! This desire to become stronger is also stronger than ever!
In the future, I will definitely be able to help you! I only ask you to give me a chance! For this, I am willing to repay you with my whole life! "
As she spoke, there was a clear muffled sound, and her dress fell to the ground. The girl knelt heavily on the ground, her long blue hair hanging down to the side, making it difficult to see her expression.
However, even if one cannot see clearly, one can imagine that hidden behind it must be eyes burning like fire, just like the girl's violently beating heart at this moment, leading her future to an unknown path that even she herself cannot be sure of.
"Weiwei..."
The king's eyes had already moistened without him noticing. While he felt deeply guilty for his own powerlessness, he was also extremely relieved and heartbroken by the girl's strength and heartfelt voice.
If this country could be stronger, strong enough to deal with a vicious pirate like Crocodile, why would it let a princess who should be living a life of luxury step forward and take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people?
This is a dereliction of duty on his part as the current king, and also a dereliction of duty on his part as a father!
"The attitude is good, but whether it can really be consistent with words and deeds remains to be seen."
He walked up to the girl, raised his hand and pinched Vivi's smooth chin. Looking through those eyes that were trembling but still trying to look straight at him like a little wild cat, what did Yakumo Shiro see?
Apart from my own reflection, there is only the budding fun and inexplicable expectation.
Queen Lily eight hundred years ago must not have been completely powerless, otherwise, she wouldn't have become one of the twenty kings and be so obsessed with the master of the flower-colored world.
A princess raised in a vase and a queen with great power, the latter is more to my liking~
"If your determination is truly so strong, then drink it. Then, try your best to survive. I might consider it later. Otherwise, please fold your eager wings and continue to stay in the nest.
The sea is very cruel. If you don't risk your life, the final outcome will be to be buried at the bottom of the sea!"
A bottle of potion emitting an unknown luster was taken out from nowhere. It was a brand new enhanced drug created after Vegapunk's arrival, inheriting the research of Quinn and his partner on the ES and SIQ drugs from Fishman Island and Floating Island.
Originally, this should be used on the Straw Hat. With its tenacious vitality and the blessing of fate, it should be enough to verify the efficacy of this medicine, help me record the relevant parameters, and save some time for cultivation.
But now, since the girl took the initiative to come forward, it is not impossible to use it in advance. Given Vegapunk's character, he should have found ways to eliminate the side effects so that his life would not be endangered, right?
"Well, if all else fails, there's still Mansherry's healing fruit. She's the most perfect doctor in this ocean~"
Thinking of this, with Princess Vivi's nervous and hesitant expression before him, and King Cobra watching helplessly from the shadows, Yakumo Shiro slowly brought the potion in his hand to the girl's cherry lips.
"Come on, open your mouth. Consider this your first gift as a teacher.
Drink it, and you will be reborn, reborn, and possess the most basic power to "protect others"~
Don’t worry, it’s not bitter. If you remember correctly, this is cherry flavored~”
