In the port of Nahana, the Straw Hats panted and stopped beside the Golden Merry, and as Sanji squatted and jumped on the boat to lower the rope ladder, each one by one, and finally only Vivi and Hopodi and Karui Duck were left.

"What are you still doing in a daze, Vivi, Karui, the navy is coming~" Usopp shouted from the ship.

Wei Wei didn't answer, looking at the man in front of her, her expression was complicated: "Regarding the rain, I hope you don't do this kind of thing again." ”

Hobodi saw the girl's concern at a glance, snorted and said, "Are you afraid that the world government will think that your country uses dancing powder? No problem, the ability of the Devil Fruit I use has nothing to do with dancing powder." ”

"That's not right!" Wei Wei shook her head continuously, pleading: "Since you know the state of this country, you should also know the fact that a large number of dancing fans were found in this port city three years ago, if you go to every place where it rains, everyone will notice that something is wrong." Once the World Government investigates, the country will be abolished by the World Government before Klockdahl can take it away. ”

"In other words, would you rather those who thirst for rain die of thirst than rain rain, or do you have to bring rain to the whole of Alabastan at once? You are really greedy to have trust and at the same time to take care of people's lives. ”

"Huh?" Weiwei's expression was stunned, and then she lowered her head in frustration.

"I don't know if I can do it at that level, but don't talk about it yet. Hopodi's eyes turned not far from the harbor, and an outstretched rubber hand suddenly invaded in the direction of the ship, and then, a bounce-

A straw hat figure enveloped Hopodi, Vivi and Karui Duck like a rocket, sending them flying up and down the top of the ship.

There were a few knocks, and the ship tilted in the harbor, and it took a long time to settle down.

The straw hat boy laughed, "It looks like I made it to the ship." Hey, who are you, why are you on our Merry?"

Luffy looked at the black-haired man in front of him whose mask was shattered, and his expression was a little strange.

"You called me up. It's okay, I'll get off the boat later. Hopodi picked up the broken mask on the ground that had been broken in half, but fortunately, the bones of his face had been partially changed with "Life Return", and no one should think of Hobodi's outline.

"Forget it......" Luffy waved his hand casually, and then began to mess around with his friends.

After a while, they talked about Portcas D. Ace again.

"Ace is my older brother and went to sea three years before me. I couldn't beat him before, but now I can definitely beat him. Wahahaha......"

During the conversation between the Straw Hats, they didn't notice that a rope was tied to the stern of the Golden Merry, and suddenly, a man with a cowboy hat jumped up: "Luffy, who did you just say you were going to knock down?"

"Ace!"

"Yo, are you Luffy's buddies? My troublesome brother has always been taken care of by you. And King, are you also my brother's companion?"

Hobodi shook his head: "It just happened to be on the boat." ”

"Really?"

"Eh, your name is King, and you're also our companion?" Luffy glanced at Hopodi strangely, and then looked at Zoro and the others unhappily, "Are you looking for a companion and don't even ask me about the captain?" With that, Luffy opened his lips and sat aside and sulked alone.

"......" Zoro and the others were speechless.

"Luffy, you just got this guy. It has nothing to do with us, does it? And people have said that they are not companions, so why are you angry? When you brought the navy to us, you didn't settle this account. Usopp said dissatisfied.

"Hey, is it me?Forget it, in that case, do you want to join us??The journey was very happy~" Luffy laughed heartlessly.

"Hey!!" everyone said they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of their brains.

Luffy's change of face was so fast that Zoro and the others did not dare to compliment, the topic did not last long, and the group began to talk about other things, and the ship leaned against the shore of the harbor for a while, and appeared from a canal road that entered the desert boundary of the Kingdom of Alabastan.

"I'll get off the boat here!" Hobodi suddenly got up.

"Wait a minute, do you want to cross the desert alone?" Wei Wei shouted nervously: "No, there is not a drop of water on this road, you will die if you don't reach the royal capital Albana, there are too many dangers in the desert." ”

"Really?" a dark cloud crept over the Merry, and Hopodi snapped his fingers, and the rain began to pour down.

Vivi: "......" I'm such a fool.

"Goodbye then, I'll deliver your letter. Hopodi turned to look at the Straw Hats and the crew, and finally fixed his eyes on Monchi D. Luffy, no wonder this kid can become the protagonist, its infectious power, in just half an hour, Hopodi himself almost fell into it and forgot his goal.

"Wait!" another shout stopped Hopodi's steps as he was about to jump, and this time it was Ace who stopped Hopodi.

Hopodi turned his head: "Is there something wrong with you?"

"No, I don't know what you're capable of, but it's obvious that the rain is drawn from the sea and evaporated, right? In the dry desert air, humidity can't form water. As the princess said, if you don't reach the kingdom of Alabastan, the king will die. King, why are you not Luffy's companion willing to do this for the princess just by relying on letters?" Ace expressed his doubts.

His doubts are not the doubts of the Straw Hats, Nami, Zoro, Sanji and others, but the latter three chose not to ask for various reasons.

Huo Bodi looked at the suspicious eyes around him, his expression remained unchanged, and his heart was already surging.

It's really been discovered, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't bring it up? Damn the Fire Fist.

"This ......" Hopodi thought for a moment and came up with a reason, staring at Vivi with burning eyes: "Of course it's because of her." ”

Although the words were not specified, this answer made everyone stunned, especially with the previous rumors of Nahana, this reason is even more convincing.

Wei Wei covered her mouth with an inexplicable expression.

"When I didn't ask. Ace raised an eyebrow, clearly scoffing at the reason.

When the boat docked on the shore of the desert, Hopodi disembarked, and Vivi somehow followed him to see him off, and there was a Karui duck standing next to her, which made Hopodi feel a little puzzled.

"I think it's better to let Karui give you a ride, and if you go alone, my father will be able to read my notes, but he may be suspicious. If Karui had been there, his father wouldn't have doubted it. ”

"Really? what about your decision? Hobodi looked at the duck next to him, was his first mount in this world a duck?

"Quack quack quack—"

"[Although I am against the marriage contract, it is safer to have you~] Karui said. Chopper acted as a translator.

"Okay!" Hopodi got on the duck and asked Luffy and the others for a bucket by the way, and after filling it with dark clouds and rain, he quickly left under the watchful eyes of Vivi and the others.

......

When Hobodi left, the Straw Hats began to think.

"What do you think of his answer?" Ace said with a smile.

Zoro snorted, "Guy who doesn't even dare to say his real name, I didn't intend to trust from the beginning. ”

"Huh?" Nami and Usopp were stunned, why did they start changing their faces as soon as they left?

"Big brother is right, if you think about it, it's only the first time he's met Weiwei, isn't it? Sanji said with jealousy.

Ace leaned against the ship and looked at the sky: "You also talked about Klockdahl before, right? And king、Maybe it's the same。 ”

"What!?" Vivi looked shocked.

Ace was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't say these words in front of him." But don't worry, princess, it's just my speculation. I've known a lot of that guy before, and after wearing a mask for a long time, I'm afraid I don't even know what I think. But just the attitude on the boat and the look you look at. You should have the bottom in your heart to ask Karui to him, right?"

"Hey...... Well. Vivi breathed a sigh of relief.

There is another sentence that Ace didn't say, that is, in the battle with Smoker, the other party told him the origin of the king, who was born in the North Sea, and was first offered a reward of 100 million Bailey for the mastermind of the 'Beihai Noble Massacre', and then was added 10 million Bailey's brutal people.

In a sense, King can be said to be the sworn enemy of the nobility and the royal family. If such a person wants to approach the king, ordinary people only need to think about it to know what will happen.

"Vivi, don't worry, that guy isn't a bad guy. Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Isn't he a bad guy? Ace smiled and looked at his brother, this kid's instincts were generally accurate.

So, what are you going to do?

king。
