Chapter 24: Return to the Palace

On the blue sea, a huge warship rides the wind and waves.

A tall man in a dark red suit, a cloak of naval justice, and a white navy crooked hat stood at the bow of the ship. Behind him, a slightly younger-looking naval captain was reporting to him.

"According to our informants in the Kingdom of Alabastan, today the prince of Alabastan has returned to the capital city of Albana, and Klokdal seems to be ...... He was captured alive. The captain sighed: "I didn't expect that as the king of the Seven Martial Seas who assists our navy in maintaining world peace, the powerful and powerful sand crocodile will also be captured alive one day." ”

The man at the bow of the ship turned his head, his face square and resolute, it was none other than the Akainu, the highest combat power of the navy and the magma fruit ability of the three major generals!

Akainu laughed: "Good catch! It's not pleasing to the eye when I look at the Seven Martial Seas for a long time. Does the navy still need to rely on the power of pirates to maintain world peace? What a joke! But who is the prince? It's not easy to capture Klockdahl alive, why have you never heard of his name before? ”

"General Hui, his full name is Nafirutali Shen Ming, as the royal family of Alabastan, they are the only Tianlong people who have not gone to the Red Earth Continent." The captain replied respectfully, "According to the tip, he seems to have the ability of a natural Devil Fruit and is able to summon water out of thin air. ”

Akainu said with interest, "Oh? Summoning a stream of water? Interestingly, if I had the chance, I would really like to meet this prince. ”

After speaking, Akainu waved his hand: "Go down!" ”

After the captain retreated, Akainu groaned at the bow of the ship for a while, returned to the cabin and picked up the phone bug, and reported the shocking news to Marshal Sengoku.

At the Navy Headquarters, Marshal Sengoku wearing black round-rimmed glasses, the long beard tied into a twisted shape on his chin began to shake violently, and he asked loudly, "What?" Klockdal of the Seven Martial Seas captured alive? Or did an obscure little prince do it? ”

"That's right." Akainu replied affirmatively, "Capturing the Seven Martial Seas alive is much more difficult than simply killing the Seven Martial Seas. This little prince can be regarded as the number one big man in today's world. How do we deal with this? If we make good use of it, with him guarding the front end of the Great Route, the pressure on our navy in the first half of the Great Route will be much less, and we can free up more manpower to return to the New World. ”

After pondering for a while, Sengoku ordered: "You immediately go to Alabastan, consult with him, and invite him to join our navy." Remember, he is a Draconian, his ancestors were one of the founders of the world government, his attitude must be humble, and he must be respected enough! ”

"Yes, Marshal!" Akainu asked, "What about Crocodall?" ”

"After all, it is the king of Qin's order, His Majesty Qiwuhai, let him sell my navy a face, and bring people back." Sengoku said: "I saved his life, and I can better instruct him to work for our navy in the future!" ”

"By the way, the fact that His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas were captured alive is rumored to be detrimental to the prestige of our navy. Remember, don't let the news slip through the cracks. ”

Akainu put down the phone bug, walked out of the cabin, and commanded the captain who followed from the hatch: "Full speed to the Kingdom of Alabastan!" ”

……

Albana, inside the Royal Palace.

Shen Ming didn't know that the navy was so well-informed, and as soon as he came back, the navy was ready to come over to ask for someone.

At intervals on the left and right, two handsome and tall Kingdom Forbidden Soldiers stood on both sides of the road with guns. When Shen Ming and his party passed by, they all said loudly: "Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince back to the palace!" ”

The cheers continued until Shen Ming and his party crossed this road and came to a tall European-style palace.

King Kobra stood in front of the kingdom in a purple robe. On the left and right are the eagle-nosed dove's dog god Gaka, and the black cross star white robe Hayabusa Bell. After that, there are the Kingdom Guard, which is lined up.

Kobra laughed happily and said, "Welcome back, my child." ”

"Your Royal Highness, you are really hidden." Gaka didn't see the fierceness of the past, looked at the Klockdal stone figurines that Shen Ming was carrying, and expressed his heartfelt admiration.

Bell squinted his eyes and smiled at Shen Ming without speaking.

"See Father!" Shen Ming jumped off the back of the Karui duck, put the Klockdal stone figurine beside him, and knelt down on one knee to hug his fist.

"Bang bang bang!"

The Guards fired their cannon salutes to congratulate the prince on his triumphant return.

Kobra was in a good mood, stepped forward to help Shen Ming up, gave him a deep hug, and said with emotion: "When you disappeared, I was still very worried about your safety, but I didn't expect that when you came back, you gave this king such a big surprise!" ”

"It's a child's duty." After Shen Ming finished humbly, he greeted Gaka and Bell for a while.

While in Eruma, Shen Ming got rid of Ikalem, who had been nagging and annoying. Now, when Gaka and Bell asked about him, Shen Ming had no choice but to say that he was separated from him.

Finally, Shen Ming introduces Kobra to Terumi, Robin, and Carl.

Kobra only politely said a few words to the three of them, and Terumi and Robin naturally didn't care, but Carl was flattered and grateful.

After the tedious conversation, Shen Ming ordered someone to find the Hailou stone handcuffs, and under the surprised gazes of Kobra, Gaka, and Bell, the stone maid turned into dirt and sank to the ground again.

Klockdahl was already awake, the seal had been lifted, and he immediately wanted to escape.

Using the ability of the Devil Fruit, after absorbing the water stains on his body, his body drifted away in the wind, and when he was about to turn into a handful of yellow sand and disappear, Terumi snapped his fingers, and a rain shower with a radius of more than ten meters appeared, directly knocking Klockdal back to the prototype.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live? You are no match for me. Shen Ming suddenly drank violently, and rushed to the drenched Klockdahl with the handcuffs of Hailou Stone.

Klockdahl's eyes were vicious, so he naturally wouldn't be restrained.

Without giving Terumi a look, she used a ninjutsu very cooperatively: "Water Escape, Water Flow Whip!" ”

The thick water whip directly tied up Klockdahl, making him unable to move while he was seriously injured.

Shen Ming quickly handcuffed Klocodahl.

Hailou Stone has an irresistibly powerful sealing effect on those with Devil Fruit abilities, which can make them weak and powerless, and they cannot use Devil Fruit abilities.

At this point, Klockdahl has completely lost his personal freedom and has become Shen Ming's prisoner!

"Take it to prison, and I'll try it again later." Shen Ming asked Gaka to escort him away.

Kobra seemed to have a lot of questions to ask Shen Ming, but Shen Ming was the prince who came through time and occupied the magpie's nest. If he is carefully interrogated, he will definitely show his feet. So Shen Ming snorted and said that after having a long talk with him at the dinner, he took the three of Robin and asked a soldier to lead the way to Shen Ming's room in the palace.

Back in the palace, it was time for Shen Ming to have a good talk with Robin and Carl about their future status in the Kingdom of Alabastan.
