"Princess, this is too dangerous. After seeing the situation of the people in the Western Continent, let's turn back as soon as possible!" Ikalem, with big curly hair, worriedly persuaded Vivi.

From the beginning, he opposed Vivi's personal visit to the Western Continent... especially in secret!

If the identity is revealed, there will not be too much danger, unless Crocodile gives up his previous reputation in order to actively provoke a conflict.

Although the investigation of hidden identities is concealed and can see more things that cannot be seen on the surface, once it is discovered, as long as Crocodile is efficient enough, even if Vivi and others are killed, it will not give others a handle.

In Ikalem's view, even if there is really a secret patrol team, it should not be led by Princess Vivi herself.

"No, the most critical thing has not been investigated clearly, or... there is no solid evidence yet! Don't you think it's strange that the villagers of Sikaka Village mentioned the caravan before? It is very likely to be the rebels, right?" Vivi insisted.

"But the entire Western Continent, I'm afraid that both the rebels and the anti-rebellion forces are Crocodile's people. Once we are discovered..."

"Don't Ikarem still have protection for me?" Vivi said with a casual look.

Vivi also knew that this behavior was very dangerous, but in order to minimize the danger and loss of the civil war, Vivi could no longer care about that.

"Although I am happy that you said that, that person is a Shichibukai, and... the Western Continent is not safe." Ikarem hesitated for a moment before saying the second half of the sentence.

Vivi looked a little confused when she heard it.

"In fact, Ikarem also felt it, right? The people here are not thugs, just like the citizens of the Eastern Continent, and their lives are not bad. They used to be refugees, and there were only pieces of desert here. This is indeed thanks to Crocodile. Their worship is not unreasonable... They are even willing to cooperate with the rebels!" Vivi said after biting her lip.

Originally, Vivi expected that she would see the impoverished and even starving Western Continent, and then find evidence of Crocodile's collusion with the rebels to save the people from danger...

But what she saw was a "united" Western Continent with many ordinary people who had no "prejudices" against the rebels.

If the rebels and the peaceful rebels who "play double roles" in the Western Continent are supported by the civilians of the Western Continent, then are they still "rebels"?

Not to mention the Celestial Dragons, any other monarchy would have a clear answer!

But Vivi, who was taught by Cobra since childhood that "people come first and then the country", could not think like this.

"Your Highness..." Ikarem said to Vivi with some concern.

"Ikarem, if the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent can continue like this forever... What do you think about letting Crocodile establish an independent country?" Vivi suddenly said.

Ikarem said immediately: "Of course not! Alabasta will always be loyal to the Nefertari royal family, and there will not be a second king!"

"The royal family is not the master of the country, this place belongs to the people, if..."

"Wait! Princess Vivi, don't forget that according to the previous investigation, Crocodile may be related to the Revolutionary Army, and even... the largest chain factories in the Western Continent are likely to be the arsenals of the Revolutionary Army, especially those "forbidden cities" are more suspicious. The civilians of the Western Continent were just deceived by him. He will only bring war to Alabasta! And that ambitious man will not be content to only get the Western Continent!" Ikarem said hurriedly.

After saying this, Ikarem also realized that this was the opposite of what he had just said to persuade Vivi...

But Ikarem had no choice. If he didn't refute Vivi's words, she would have to divide Alabasta with Crocodile!

But the side effect of saying this is...

"That's right! We must investigate those things clearly, otherwise... Crocodile may cause Alabasta to fall into war!" Vivi really didn't want to leave anymore.

At this moment, a series of "pa, pa, pa" sounds came from behind a huge rock next to the resting place of the patrol team.

Ikaram instinctively stood in front of Weiwei, and the other eight disguised palaces around him also picked up their weapons and surrounded the source of the sound.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad guy, I just want to talk to Princess Weiwei." Guan Liyuan walked out while clapping.

"This friend may have misunderstood something? We are just a passing caravan." Ikaram was obviously a little wary when he saw Guan Liyuan, who was about the same height as him.

"No, I shouldn't be mistaken. Neferutali Weiwei, 16 years old, birthday February 2, height 169 cm... Seventeen days ago, in Cobra's study, she secretly requested to carry out the mission of the secret patrol team. Seven days after the patrol team of Environment Minister Kosha entered the Western Continent, they brought Ikalem, the captain of the Kingdom Guard, and ten guards pretending to be a caravan to enter the Western Continent. The other two guards went... You went... and asked..."

Guan Liyuan reported all the people Weiwei had asked and the villages and cities she had visited in the past few days.

Ikalem and Weiwei's faces became worse and worse. They thought they were hiding, but in fact, every move they made was monitored by the other party!

"Who are you? Why are you following us!" Ikalem said angrily.

"Follow? No, no, no, I just asked a little about your information." Guan Liyuan shrugged.

Indeed, Guan Liyuan did not have the leisure to follow them for several days. This was all discovered by the Anbu. Now the western continent of Alabasta is the home of the Revolutionary Army. Even the Navy Headquarters knows how many cups of tea Sengoku drinks in a day. There will be no loopholes in their own territory!

"As for who I am? I've said it before, I'm not a bad guy, just a revolutionary..."

Before Guan Liyuan finished speaking, Ikaram suddenly pulled his hair with both hands, and suddenly a gun muzzle stretched out from the waves, followed by gunshots, and bullets were fired at Guan Liyuan continuously.

"... I'm just a retired old cadre." Guan Liyuan didn't even pause, just regarded the gunshots as the background music.

Because Guan Liyuan's Armament Haki naturally wrapped up his clothes, so not even a corner of his clothes was damaged!

"Armament Haki? Damn... Princess, leave quickly! The others and I..." Although Ikaram's strength is not very good, as a senior official of Alabasta, he has at least heard of Armament Haki.

However, before Ikaram could finish, Guan Liyuan suddenly disappeared from the spot. At the same time, a voice came from behind Ikaram: "It's just a chat. Your Highness Weiwei shouldn't mind, right?"

Before Ikaram could react, Guan Liyuan was already behind Ikaram, with his back to him and facing Weiwei, asking...8)
