Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

"Father, you should use the national broadcast to tell the people to wait for a day!" Vivi and Cobra said.

"Exactly~~~"

"This way, at least for the next day, we can ease some of the people's tensions," Cobra quickly agreed with Vivi's suggestion.

He knew that right now, people across Alabasta were fighting for water, and the news needed to be spread as soon as possible to avoid even bigger chaos.

This way, the people would have a whole day to calm down, which would help restore order.

"Ryuen, and everyone else, please forgive me for leaving first. After I finish dealing with this, I will definitely thank you all properly." Once Cobra made up his mind, he started to get busy.

"King Cobra, there's no need to be so polite. Vivi and I are also friends, and we want to help you through this difficulty. Please go ahead and take care of things." Ryuen said softly.

"Father, you go ahead. I'll stay here," Vivi told Cobra.

Hearing Vivi's words, Cobra felt relieved.

After Cobra left, Vivi was still worried, but she brought the Dream Team to a courtyard in the palace.

"Vivi, why don't you go do your own thing? You don't have to worry about us," Nojiko said, noticing the worry on Vivi's face. She could tell that Vivi was distracted.

"Yeah, Vivi, go ahead and take care of things. We'll be fine here," Nami added, also sensing that Vivi couldn't focus at the moment.

The other members of the Dream Team also smiled encouragingly, clearly telling her not to worry.

"Alright!"

"Everyone, I'll be back soon!" Vivi said seriously.

"Go ahead~~~" Ryuen said softly.

Then Vivi left to help Cobra with the matters of Alabasta. Recently, there had been too many things happening in Alabasta, and Cobra couldn't handle it all on his own.

After Vivi left, Robin wandered around the courtyard.

She had joined Baroque Works not only to seek shelter but also because there was a Poneglyph here.

"Ah~~~

What should we do now?

The situation in Albana isn't great either, so it's not the right time to go out and map the area." Leah sat down on the grass, feeling a bit bored.

The others were the same, and they all sat down in a circle on the lawn.

"How about we help Robin find the Poneglyph here?" Nami suggested carefully.

Everyone knew about Robin's background, and after spending half a month together, they also knew that Robin was looking for Poneglyphs.

"Eh?"

"That's a good idea! Should we start now?" Leah's eyes lit up.

"No, wait. Isn't Vivi our friend? We should ask her first before doing anything," Robin said as she walked over, immediately opposing the idea.

Although she really wanted to find the Poneglyph, she agreed with what Nami had said—since Vivi was their friend, they needed to get her approval first.

"Ah~~~

Alright, since Robin-chan disagrees, we won't go," Leah said a little disappointed.

"However, we can wait until Vivi gets back and ask her opinion. If she agrees, we'll help find the Poneglyph," Nami suggested, trying to cheer them up.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

One day later, Alabasta Palace.

Now Cobra, Vivi, and a few other Alabasta officials were very anxious.

Because yesterday, King Cobra and Vivi had announced to the people that the rain issue would be resolved today, but now, the Sky Island Viseria had still not arrived!

By now, the people were already waiting in the streets, holding pots, pans, and other containers.

Cobra and the others couldn't even imagine what terrible consequences would unfold if it didn't rain in Alabasta today.

"What's going on? Didn't they say it would arrive today?"

"Yeah, it's already noon, and there's still no sign of it."

"Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe it's almost here."

The officials discussed anxiously, while Cobra frowned, deep in thought, saying nothing.

He knew that if it didn't rain in Alabasta today, all their efforts so far would be in vain, and it might even lead to worse consequences.

Vivi also seemed very anxious. She clenched her fists tightly and silently prayed in her heart: "Please, you must succeed..."

Time passed second by second, and the sun gradually began to set, but the sky remained clear with no clouds.

Finally, Cobra couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "This isn't working. We have to take action."

"But, Your Majesty, what can we do?" a minister asked.

Cobra thought for a moment and said, "First, go calm the people. Tell them we're working on the problem and ask them to be patient."

The ministers nodded in agreement and then scattered to carry out their tasks.

Cobra and Vivi walked out of the palace and into the street, facing tens of thousands of Alabasta's people.

"People of Alabasta, please remain calm. We are working hard to solve the rain issue. Please trust us, and soon the rain will come," Cobra shouted loudly.

Vivi also added, "Yes, don't worry everyone. We will restore Alabasta to life."

The people listened to the king and princess. Although some were unhappy, they still chose to trust them. After all, they had always been the hope of Alabasta.

However, as time went on, people's patience started to run out, and their emotions began to rise. Some people started complaining, and some even shouted for Cobra to step down.

Facing this situation, Cobra and Vivi were both anxious but helpless.

At that moment, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance, quickly moving towards Alabasta.

When the crowd saw this, they instantly became excited and began to cheer. Cobra and Vivi exchanged a glance, a spark of joy in their eyes.

Soon, the dark clouds covered all of Alabasta, and amidst the flashing lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down. People rushed out to bathe in the rain, feeling the long-awaited relief, their faces filled with joyful smiles.

Cobra and Vivi watched the scene before them, their hearts filled with comfort.

This timely rain not only saved Alabasta but also brought new life and energy to their country.

In another courtyard, the Dream Team looked at the heavy rain outside. The tension that had been building up earlier relaxed at that moment.

After all, the situation outside the palace had been on the verge of exploding just moments ago.

Above Albana, the sky island Visalia, a few old men from Whitebeard's crew were happily watching everything below.

Visalia

This deal with Alabasta was a huge one!

After completing this deal, they would have enough funding for their research for a long time to come.

"Hey~~"

"You old men are so slow! Didn't you know that almost a fight broke out down there just now?"
