Watching Vivi, who had a disgusted expression, Bastille couldn't help but fall silent.
After all, not to mention him, even the Marine Headquarters needed to follow the process when facing Crocodile, who was a Shichibukai.
Without substantial evidence, they couldn't easily attack the Shichibukai.
And the process of collecting evidence was enough for Crocodile to take revenge ten thousand times.
Under Vivi's lead, Kai and his party jumped onto the dock.
However, the port, which was already the only remaining port in Alabasta in Vivi's mouth, was unusually quiet. There were not many merchant ships coming and going, not to mention the contact person that Vivi had mentioned.
"Princess, didn't you contact Pell to meet us here? Where is he?" Igaram's expression changed when he saw this scene.
He was skeptical about the transaction with Kai.
But now that this kind of situation had occurred, it undoubtedly tightened his nerves.
After all, he and Princess Vivi had been away from Alabasta for more than half a year.
Now that they had suddenly returned, not to mention Pell, probably even the king couldn't wait to sprout wings and fly to see them.
The fact that the dock was empty at this time was not good news for them.
"Lord Laxus..." Vivi subconsciously looked at Kai.
During this period of time, the more she understood Kai, the more she understood that some things that were difficult for her were nothing in front of Kai.
"In the town over there..." Kai frowned and looked at the town that was connected to the port.
However, before Kai could finish speaking, Vivi and Igaram had ridden their super spot-billed ducks and rushed out.
Watching this scene, Bastille was just about to say something, but the two of them had already left in a cloud of dust.
"Let's go. We'll go take a look too." Kai ordered and then picked up Nami, who was beside him.
The sudden scene made Nami stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks instantly turned red. She said urgently, "Wh, what are you doing... There are so many people here..."
"What am I doing?" Kai rolled his eyes at Nami, who had obviously misunderstood, and said, "Of course I'm taking you to travel. Or do you think you can keep up with our speed, or let Bastille carry you?"
"Travel?"
"Let Bastille carry me?"
Nami was stunned for a moment. After seeing Bastille's shabby appearance, she obediently closed her mouth and stayed in Kai's arms.
This scene made Tashigi's pretty face turn pink as well.
At the same time, in the town thousands of meters away from the port, a large amount of sand was blown up by the wind.
A group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Royal Guard were being besieged by a group of pirates.
And the man leading the pirates was a man with a hedgehog head, wearing a mud-colored long shirt and sunglasses.
As for the woman standing beside him, she was holding an umbrella, wearing a turban, and dressed a little revealingly.
If Vivi was present, she would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that these two people were senior officers of Baroque Works.
Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet Alabasta's guardian Pell here. I would have had a hard time hunting you if you had holed up in Alubarna, but you personally ran to Yuba. I can't let you walk out of here alive." Mr. 5 said with a playful smile, his hands in his pockets.
"Your head is worth 8 million Berries on the black market!"
The sudden appearance of the interception made Pell's expression turn ashen as well.
He never expected that these pirates would dare to be so blatant in Alabasta and attack them.
However, this couldn't be blamed on Pell's underestimation of the enemy.
Due to the drought, the rebel army had repeatedly attacked Yuba Port during this period of time, and the power of the guard army had been weakened.
This gave the people of Baroque Works, who often haunted here and disguised themselves as pirates, an opportunity.
Moreover, Pell was also anxious to meet the long-lost Princess Vivi.
Thinking of this, Pell's expression sank, and he shouted urgently, "Pirates, this is Alabasta's territory. We are the Royal Capital Guard. If you don't retreat, it will be regarded as being an enemy of our Alabasta."
"Be an enemy of your Alabasta?" Mr. 5 was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly and said, "A sick cat that hasn't even suppressed the rebel army dares to say such a big joke. Today, we won't leave. What can you do to us?"
"Of course, if you personally hand over your head to me, I might let you go."
The playful words echoed in the sand.
The group of guards obviously became furious. When had the dignified great power Alabasta been ridiculed by a group of pirates?
For a time, everyone's eyes fell on Pell.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere in the field, and the time for the appointment was getting closer and closer,
Pell's expression sank and he directly made a gesture.
"Attack!"
The violent shout was like thunder. Pell, who was one of Alabasta's guardians, rushed out first.
Possessing the power of the Devil Fruit, his strength and speed undoubtedly overwhelmed everyone.
Like a sharp arrow, he took the lead in appearing in front of Mr. 5.
His right hand lightning-like grabbed the saber at his waist, and the next moment, he suddenly unsheathed it.
In his eyes, the despicable pirate in front of him was too arrogant and ignored his speed.
As long as his saber was unsheathed, he would definitely be able to defeat this arrogant person in an instant.
"Uncle Pell, leave him quickly."
A hurried shout suddenly rang out.
Pell was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the man in front of him had already smiled with a playful face.
"I've caught you!"
Mr. 5 grabbed Pell's shoulder, and the next moment, a fiery heat wave surged out of his body.
Rumble!
The low explosion sound rang out like thunder.
The powerful heat wave rolled back like a raging tide.
The guards who were slightly closer and some pirates who had been temporarily organized were all blown away.
Vivi and Igaram, who had rushed over, had a drastic change in expression.
When the sand and the heat wave of the explosion dissipated, Mr. 5, who was unscathed, was carrying Pell, who was emitting black smoke, and walked out slowly.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Wednesday? You called Pell uncle just now. It seems that your identity is not simple." Mr. 5 looked at Vivi and Igaram playfully.
"Or rather, you are Princess Vivi, who disappeared from Alabasta not long ago."
The not-so-loud words that were spat out at this moment seemed to be infused with a magical sound, echoing in the sand, and it was impossible to dissipate for a long time.
Vivi and Igaram's expressions changed suddenly.
Before they could react, a delicate shout had already suddenly rang out in the sky.
