Chapter 608 Banquet x Farewell
"No! I still need to continue hunting down Blackbeard!" Ace's eyes were extremely firm, as if nothing could shake his determination.
"Okay!" Although Luffy was reluctant, he didn't say much.
"Luffy, this is for you!" Ace seemed to suddenly think of something and took out a folded piece of white paper from his pocket.
"What is this?" Luffy slowly spread it out and asked puzzledly.
"It can guide us to meet again!" After saying this, Ace jumped directly onto his boat and sailed away into the distance.
"Bye! Ace!"
Everyone waved goodbye to Ace.
After Ace's back disappeared, Luffy looked at the white paper in his hand again.
"Luffy, put this paper in your palm and don't move." Vivi suggested.
Luffy didn't understand why, but he still did what Vivi said.
I saw the white paper in my palm move slowly.
"Sure enough!" Seeing this scene, Weiwei looked as if she understood.
Before Luffy could ask, Vivi took the initiative to say, "This should be the life card!"
"Life card?" Luffy and others said they had never heard of this thing.
Weiwei explained to everyone: "Life Cards are more common in the second half of the Grand Line. They are special items made by mixing human fingernails into materials. They are not afraid of water or fire. They represent the vitality of the nail's owner."
"This should be Ace's life card. Look at the direction it's slowly moving in. That's where Ace is."
"How interesting!" Everyone looked very excited.
"Luffy, keep this life card! It will be useful when you want to see Ace in the future." Vivi reminded.
"Yeah!" Luffy carefully folded the life card and stuffed it into his straw hat.
"Let's get ready. We'll go to the capital next!"
"it is good!"
There is actually nothing to prepare for.
"How do we get there? I want to ride the moving crab!" Luffy said happily.
"No! I called Run Duck!"
"Running duck? Is that the slightly stupid duck next to you?" Luffy pointed at Karui next to Vivi and confirmed.
"Ga (You are the stupid one)!" Seeing that Luffy looked down on him, Karu bit him directly.
Luffy ran around holding his head.
"That's right!" Weiwei responded first, then stopped him, "Kalu, stop it!"
Hearing this, Karu opened his mouth, glanced at Luffy with disdain, and turned his butt towards him.
"Hahaha~, Luffy, you're in such a mess!" Usopp and others laughed out loud when they saw Luffy being humiliated.
As they were playing and fighting, a cloud of dust rose in the distance.
After a while, six running ducks came to Weiwei and greeted her respectfully.
"Let's go!" Weiwei called on everyone to ride on the Running Duck.
We sped along at lightning speed, with strong winds blowing on our faces.
In the fast and furious, Luffy was excited.
Sanji looked around and asked curiously, "Is Xia Jieren not going?"
Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Brother Jieren has left!"
"Great! The annoying guy is gone!" Sanji said secretly, with a lewd smile on his face.
Towards evening, Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the royal capital, Alpana.
Entering the magnificent palace, the Straw Hat Pirates were overwhelmed.
Knowing Luffy's preferences, Vivi led everyone straight to the banquet hall.
The huge dining table was already filled with delicious food.
"Are these all for us to eat?" Luffy drooled, staring at the dining table without blinking.
"Of course!" Weiwei confirmed with a smile.
"Great!"
The next moment, Luffy's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared at the dining table in the blink of an eye.
"Luffy, you are so rude!" Usopp noticed the look of the soldiers standing guard around him, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Luffy, "It's not time for dinner yet."
Weiwei stepped forward to help, "Everyone can take a seat now! Don't be restrained!"
A few moments.
[Alabasta Kingdom] King Cobra slowly walked into the banquet hall.
Seeing the newcomer, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates looked at him curiously.
"Who is this uncle?" Luffy spoke frankly.
Ikalem said angrily: "Boy, show some respect. This is His Majesty Cobra!"
"Well, I am the uncle, he is right!" Cobra stopped Ikalem and said with a smile.
"This is my father!" Vivi introduced Cobra's identity to Luffy and others.
Unexpectedly, the Straw Hat guys acted very calm.
This attitude made Ikalem's anger, which had originally subsided, rise again: "You guys..."
"Forget it, Ikalem!" Cobra stopped him with a smile.
Sitting at the first seat, Cobra looked at everyone carefully and said sincerely: "Thank you all for your help to our [Alabasta Kingdom]!"
Luffy grinned foolishly, his eyes fixed on the delicious food on the table, not paying any attention to what Cobra said.
Zoro was very self-aware and said: "Even without us, the [Alabasta Kingdom] would easily annihilate those pirates."
"That's right!" Sanji nodded in agreement.
"Having said that, I still want to thank you! Vivi has a good vision, and you are trustworthy friends." Cobra said sincerely.
When Cobra learned that Vivi was close to a group of pirates, he was still very worried. Fortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates had a strong background and good style, and were worthy of close friendship.
Gululu~
Cobra wanted to say something else when he suddenly heard a loud thunder.
"I'm so hungry~" Luffy lay weakly on the dining table and said weakly: "When is dinner?"
Seeing this scene, Cobra burst out laughing: "I said too much. Let's eat!"
When Luffy heard the word "dinner is ready", he instantly regained his energy.
There were only two whooshing sounds, and in the blink of an eye, Luffy had two pieces of boned meat in his hand. Then, he ate like a starving ghost.
The people around, especially the soldiers on guard, were stunned.
Normally, dining in a banquet hall should be elegant and quiet, but the Straw Hat Pirates are completely different.
There was constant noise in the banquet hall, and the happy atmosphere infected everyone.
Weiwei smiled very happily. She really enjoyed this free and happy time.
Cobra also found it difficult to put down his airs and blend in.
If the citizens of the Kingdom of Alabasta knew this scene, they would be shocked.
After the joyful banquet, after Luffy and his crew were sent to their guest rooms, Vivi said goodbye and left.
The next day.
Weiwei and her group, wearing straw hats, viewed the beautiful scenery of Aruba one by one.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Although reluctant, the day for the Straw Hat Pirates to set sail finally arrived.
