She's coming?
She's coming?!
As soon as Rowan said this, everyone was stunned.
Including Crocodile and Dalton.
On the way here, they all thought Rowan was the main person for this meeting, but they didn't expect that at the foot of the main peak, Rowan would push Vivi forward!
But what Crocodile and Dalton cared about was completely different.
Dalton looked very surprised.
He looked down at the little princess, who was only five or six years old. Although she already had a firm look in her eyes, she was still a child.
Dalton couldn't understand letting such a young child participate in the meeting as a representative!
Crocodile also couldn't understand.
But he wanted to know Rowan's plan even more, so he moved closer and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, what are you going to do?"
Rowan replied with a smile, "I'm going to meet some uninvited guests."
Crocodile instantly understood.
The so-called "guests" were none other than the group from the CP organization that Rowan had noticed on the way.
He frowned and sneered, "You're going alone?"
Rowan nodded.
Crocodile lit a cigar for himself and sneered, "Fighting many with few, be careful of failing unexpectedly!"
"That shouldn't happen."
Rowan still had a calm smile on his face, "Because I never fight many with few."
Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, "Whatever, I don't want to play with those World Government people."
Rowan patted Crocodile on the shoulder, "Then I'll leave this place to you."
Crocodile glanced at Vivi, "Want me to protect her?"
Rowan nodded.
Crocodile asked again, "To what extent?"
What he was asking was when he should take action and to what degree.
Crocodile didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two countries, so he planned to ask in advance and then push all the trouble onto Rowan.
Hearing this, Rowan thought for a moment, and then slowly said:
"The meetings I've been to are generally divided into two types: paper and fighting."
"If they want paper, then just watch from the side and don't do anything."
"If someone wants to fight—"
As Rowan spoke, he turned around and walked towards the snowy plains in the distance.
Suddenly, he turned his head and showed a gentle smile.
"Then, leave no one alive."
...
So angry.
I'm so angry!
King of the Drum Kingdom - Wapol, the user of the Munch-Munch Fruit, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, is very angry right now.
He was doing well in his country when one day, the neighboring country of Alabasta called, saying they wanted to have a formal meeting with them to establish trade routes.
Meeting?
I don't want to have a meeting!
Damn Dalton, if he hadn't kept nagging, I wouldn't have agreed to meet with the people from Alabasta!
Hiss... I have a feeling this meeting is going to be a pain.
Sure enough, shortly after Wapol had a bad feeling, foreigners came to the Drum Kingdom.
Not from Alabasta, but from the World Government, a group of people claiming to be members of the CP organization.
CP? I think I heard about it when I attended the World Conference.
Whatever, anyone who comes to the Drum Kingdom will be given a warning, because I am the king of this country!
Then, Wapol had the closest experience to "death" in his life.
When that finger covered in Armament Haki touched his throat, Wapol was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.
"Don't, don't kill me, you can have this country if you let me live!"
But the other party - that masked weirdo - clearly had no intention of doing so.
"What an extremely foolish king."
His eyes behind the mask made Wapol's spine chill.
"We just want to conduct a military exercise in an uninhabited snowy field and need your permission - on the orders of the Celestial Dragons."
Celestial Dragons?!
Wapol's eyes widened, and he nodded repeatedly, smiling flatteringly:
"Yes, please tell me what you need, and I'll arrange it right away!"
"You just need to nod."
The masked weirdo said coldly.
Wapol nodded repeatedly, his huge steel chin colliding with the iron sheets on his body, making a funny clanging sound.
"Yes, yes, no problem, I agree."
Hearing this, the masked weirdo waved his hand, letting the others release Wapol's subordinates.
Then, the masked weirdo led his people away without looking back.
Chess, who had narrowly escaped death, collapsed to the side, sighing:
"Hey, no one has used the cable car to go up and down the main peak except Dalton recently. How did they get into the castle?"
...
Time returns to the present.
When he recalled this, Wapol was furious.
He pulled out a knife, snapped it in half with a crack, and then chewed the sharp blade into tiny pieces with his teeth.
This is a special ability that he possessed as the user of the Munch-Munch Fruit. In theory, he can eat anything, whether it's would, metal, or stone.
He likes to eat when he's happy, and he likes to eat when he's annoyed.
"The World Government's lackeys, damn them, they actually insulted me!"
Wapol chewed on the knife handle.
"And those people from Alabasta, a neighboring country? A neighboring country that's nowhere near us! What are they doing in my country!"
Just as he was thinking this, Chess and Kuromarimo ran over.
Wapol glared and scolded, "Didn't I tell you to guard the cable car and not let anyone up? Why are you back!"
Chess panted and decided to blame Dalton for everything.
"It was Dalton who said that it involved diplomacy between the two countries and insisted on inviting them to the castle."
"Troublesome Dalton!"
Wapol spat and suddenly thought of something, he couldn't help but lick his fingers.
Let them wait.
That's right, let them wait!
Let them feel my status!
Wapol's mood improved a lot when he thought of this, and he laughed loudly, "Those guys are really stupid, what kind of messy meeting is this, they still have to wait for me for so long!"
"Your Majesty, there's one more thing..."
Chess and Kuromarimo were about to tell Wapol that the other party was a little girl, but he shouted:
"Don't say any more, I want to eat!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two didn't dare to argue and bowed immediately.
...
About two hours later, Wapol was finally full.
He swayed into the castle's reception room with his big steel belly.
Chess and Kuromarimo followed behind him.
"Hahahaha, those guys are really stupid, what kind of messy meeting are they having, they still have to wait for me for so long!"
Wapol pushed the door open and saw three people.
One was Dalton, the captain of the guard, whom he disliked very much.
One was a stern-looking man wearing a black fur coat, sitting on the sofa next to him, smoking a cigar.
The third was a blue-haired little girl, about five or six years old, sitting in the main seat, looking up at the clock on the wall.
Seeing this, Wapol couldn't help but be stunned and turned to ask Chess.
"Hey, is that guy in the fur coat the representative?"
"No, Your Majesty." Chess waved his hand repeatedly and pointed to Vivi, "She is."
"Huh?"
Wapol was stunned when he heard this and couldn't believe the answer.
However, Vivi stood up from her seat after seeing Wapol and smiled at him.
"Mr. Wapol, you're just in time."
Wapol was even more confused, "Hey, what do you mean?"
Crocodile also perked up. He was getting impatient, but Vivi's words piqued his interest again.
Heh, not a regular opening, did Rowan teach her that?
What did he teach her?
Vivi looked at the clock on the wall and said calmly.
A sentence that made everyone present widen their eyes -
"The time limit is two hours. If you enter this room thirty seconds later, Alabasta will declare war on the Drum Kingdom."
Rowan didn't teach Vivi this sentence.
He just told Vivi this "fact".
