Chapter 109: Offerings? Devil Fruit?
"gallant……"
With each word Weiwei uttered, it felt as if a heavy hammer was striking her chest; her panic was palpable.
"Tch! Go do what you're supposed to do, Nefertari Vivi, until I change my mind!"
Mu Chong's cold gaze swept over Weiwei, then he turned to look at Kobra and continued...
"Neferutari Cobra, I'll have my companions accompany her to deal with the rebels. Get the arrangements sorted out quickly, I'm in a hurry!"
Hearing Mu Chong's words, Weiwei, whose eyes were originally filled with tears, slowly suppressed her panic and turned to look at Kobra, who was staring at her.
"Father, leave the rebel army to your daughter! I've been close to Koza since childhood. Now that Sha Crocodile's problem has been resolved, let me try to persuade Koza. After all, the rebels are all citizens of the kingdom!"
Vivi's expression was resolute, her eyes fixed on Cobra, and she spoke with great confidence.
Cobra listened to Vivi's words with some surprise, then looked up at Mu Chong, then back at Vivi, before speaking.
"Good! Good! I entrust this matter to you, and I trust that Weiwei can handle it well!"
Cobra paused here, then looked up at the palace gates.
"Someone, quickly inform Lieutenants Bell and Jaka to come to the palace!"
Following a response from outside the door, footsteps sounded again shortly afterward, and two muscular men entered.
"Bel, Jaka, pay your respects, Your Majesty!"
Bel, the adjutant of the Kingdom's Guard, wore an Arabic-style turban, with deep purple four-pointed star makeup around each eye. He wore a white robe, two orange necklaces, and was tall with long brown hair and a muscular chest. A long sword hung at his side.
Jaka, the adjutant of the Kingdom's Guard, had shoulder-length straight black hair, a stern and cold face, and wore a dark green coat with gray trim over a white samurai uniform with a yellow belt. He was a burly man, and a long sword also hung at his waist.
"Bell, you will go with Vivi to deal with the rebels. Make sure Vivi's safety is protected!"
Upon seeing the two arrive, Cobra spoke sternly to his adjutant, Bell.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will protect Princess Vivi with my life!"
Bell glanced up at Mu Chong without making a sound, then immediately lowered his head and replied.
Then, just as arranged the night before, Slad and Baku left the palace with Vivi, except this time they were accompanied by an adjutant, Bell, but it didn't cause any major problems.
Meanwhile, Mu Chong and Robin followed Nefertari Cobra to the secret chamber of the palace, except for an additional lieutenant, Jaka, who insisted on accompanying and protecting Cobra. Mu Chong glanced at him, indifferent.
The Nefit family, one of the twenty royal families that founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, did not remain on Mary Geoise to become Celestial Dragons due to Nefit D. Lily's decision. Instead, they returned to the Alabasta Kingdom to continue their lineage.
However, Lily's name is completely absent from historical documents after the "Void Century." Cobra believes she never returned to Alabasta, and therefore he argues that Lily's brother was the later ruler of Alabasta, which is why the Nefit surname was not continued.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the fact that the Kingdom of Alabasta has survived to this day speaks volumes about the profound depth of its secret chambers.
Rumble!
A heavy stone door, somehow opened by Kobra, revealed a dark, secret chamber. Mu Chong frowned slightly as he looked at it.
"Hero, this is the secret chamber of the Alabasta Kingdom. Please come in!"
Kobra, after opening the stone door, showed no emotion on his face. He glanced at Mu Chong, then walked into the secret chamber on his own.
"whispering sound!"
Seeing Cobra's gaze, Mu Chong revealed a disdainful smile. He then exchanged a glance with Robin before entering the secret chamber one after the other.
As for the adjutant Jaka who accompanied him, he stopped at the entrance of the secret chamber. Although he was one of the guardian deities of the Alabasta Kingdom, he was still not qualified to enter the secret chamber.
laugh!
boom!
As Mu Chong and his companions entered the secret chamber of the palace, a sound similar to the striking of a match rang out, followed by the lighting of lights throughout the chamber. The dim light illuminated the lower floors below the chamber.
The first floor of the royal palace's secret chamber was small, just one room furnished with some common decorations. Cobra, along with Mu Chong and Robin, didn't linger there but went straight down to the underground.
A long, downward-facing staircase, paved with black stone slabs, with murals on the stone walls resembling those of a traditional tribe, seemingly telling a story of history.
"arrive!"
Just as Mu Chong's attention remained focused on the murals on the stone wall, Kobra's voice suddenly came from ahead: "We've arrived at the underground chamber!"
This underground level is quite deep below ground level and is also exceptionally large. Besides some ancient-looking artifacts displayed in the center, the areas around the secret chamber, near the stone walls, are particularly captivating and easy to linger in.
Golden gold, glittering Pele, and countless treasures of all kinds piled up in the corner.
"Hehehe, as expected of a nation with a long history. Just this superficial wealth is already something to be proud of, not to mention the rest of the kingdom's resources!"
Mu Chong moved slowly through the vast underground chamber, looking around like a curious child, but seemingly uninterested in anything.
Robin and Cobra followed quietly behind Mu Chong, letting him delve deeper into the interior. Cobra's face revealed no other emotion whatsoever.
The underground chamber was vast, and it took the three of them quite a while to reach the deepest stone wall, but the firelight there was actually brighter.
"Huh? A memorial tablet?"
In the deepest part of the underground chamber, before the stone wall, on a huge altar, are placed countless memorial tablets, their dark rectangular wooden planks arranged in a staggered pattern.
"Yes, these are the royal tablets of the Alabasta Kingdom over the years!"
Kobra, standing behind, saw Mu Chong staring blankly at the memorial tablet and then began to explain.
"Really? Why isn't Nefit D. Lily's memorial tablet here?"
Mu Chong crossed his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, and emphasized the word "D" in his speech.
Sure enough, Kobra behind him froze the moment he heard Mu Chong's words. His instincts told him that Mu Chong definitely knew something, but why did this man know everything, and what was he trying to do?
"Hahaha! Don't be nervous, Cobra! I'm not interested in this, I was just asking casually!"
Sensing the change in the other person's emotions, Mu Chong burst into laughter, pleased with his prank. Even Robin, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Huh? Cobra! Your kingdom's tradition of offering sacrifices is quite extravagant. Devil Fruits worth at least 100 million Berries are being offered as sacrifices?"
As Mu Chong was examining the numerous memorial tablets, his gaze was drawn to a peculiar fruit on the offering table. He then picked it up and examined it, speaking as he did so.
This fruit has a dark purple peel covered with spiral patterns. It is about the size of an apple, and has a curved stem that resembles a fuse.
The ocean's secrets, Devil Fruits, offerings?
Mu Chong was stunned, Robin was stunned, and Cobra was even more stunned. How could someone use a Devil Fruit as an offering? Was this insane?
"My lord, this is probably a misunderstanding. I had no idea that a Devil Fruit would appear among the offerings. This is truly outrageous..."
Cobra stared at the Devil Fruit in Mu Chong's hand, his tone noticeably hurried. The appearance of this Devil Fruit here was completely unexpected.
"Oh? Really? Hahahaha! So that means this Devil Fruit is destined for me! Tsk, not bad! Cobra, you don't mind if I take this offering fruit, do you?"
Mu Chong raised an eyebrow, then laughed happily, turning to look at Cobra as he put the Devil Fruit in his pocket.
Mu Chong's action made Robin cover her mouth and laugh, while Cobra's lips twitched.
