Chapter 107: Dealing with the Kingdom's Problems

Outside Crocodile's room at the hotel, everyone listened with bewildered expressions as the two men inside exchanged insults.

It's truly rare to see the leaders of two factions act so childishly. If they had simply resorted to violence, they wouldn't have let their subordinates lose face like this.

boom!

Just as everyone was lost in thought, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open by Mu Chong, who then stormed angrily towards his room.

"Slard, Enel, Vivi, Robin, the four of you come with me. The rest of you, go about your business!"

When Mu Chong reached the corner of the stairs on the second floor, he paused, turned to look at the crowd, and spoke before continuing his ascent.

Those whose names were called by Mu Chong looked up in surprise, then silently went upstairs.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's voice, Slad and the other three opened the door and entered the room.

"Sit wherever you like, what's on your mind?"

Seeing the four people enter, Mu Chong swirled the wine in his glass and spoke.

After the four people were seated, Mu Chong raised his head, his eyes scanning their faces before he slowly spoke.

"There are three things to do tomorrow! First, Enel, stay at the hotel and keep a close eye on that sand crocodile and the members of Baroque Works! If they make the slightest move, kill them on sight!"

Mu Chong stated the first matter calmly, but it sent a chill down the spines of everyone else in the room, who inexplicably sensed a murderous aura emanating from him.

"Understood, Captain!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Enel's usually expressionless face turned serious, and he nodded earnestly.

"The second thing is that tomorrow morning, Weiwei will take us to see your father. I promised you that I would help your country deal with the rebels, and we'll take care of it tomorrow!"

Mu Chong turned to look at Weiwei, who had been keeping her head down and remaining silent, and said calmly...

Vivi had been extremely nervous ever since she entered the room. Although Mu Chong had defeated Crocodile, it was clear that Mu Chong and Crocodile had been discussing something in Crocodile's room. Vivi was worried that they had reached some kind of agreement that could threaten the Kingdom of Alabasta.

However, after hearing what Mu Chong said, Weiwei quickly raised her head, her eyes filled with excitement. She even forgot to speak and just kept nodding.

"Hahaha! Don't get excited, Vivi! There are conditions to helping you deal with the rebels. Don't forget, you still have three requests you promised me that you haven't fulfilled!"

Seeing Weiwei's expression, Mu Chong smiled and then slowly said...

"Your Excellency, please speak. I will do my utmost to accomplish anything that Weiwei can!"

The current situation in the Kingdom of Alabasta has always been a concern for Vivi, and she is very happy that Mu Chong can help her solve the problem.

"Hahahaha! Alright, let me state my first request: I want access to the secret chamber of your Alabasta Kingdom, and you must allow me to take whatever I need from it unconditionally, in any quantity!"

Mu Chong slowly opened his mouth and uttered his first request, a request that sounded extremely unreasonable.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mu Chong's request, Weiwei's previously smiling face immediately froze, and disbelief replaced the look in her eyes.

Not only her, but even Robin, who hadn't spoken yet, looked incredulous upon hearing this; the request was rather difficult.

"Hehehe, of course, you can disagree, and I'll pretend nothing happened!"

Seeing Weiwei's expression, Mu Chong smiled and then spoke.

"Hoo! Excuse me... may I ask, Your Excellency, the Heroic One! Crocodile, he..."

Weiwei took a deep breath, her brows furrowed, and asked in a serious tone.

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, that sand crocodile won't be a menace to the Kingdom of Alabasta anymore, so now you only have the rebel army as a threat!"

Hearing Weiwei's words, Mu Chong clearly understood what she was worried about, so he spoke directly.

"Yes! I understand! I will persuade my father!"

The tension on Weiwei's face gradually subsided, and she nodded solemnly, saying...

"I hope so!"

Mu Chong gave Weiwei a deep look. He wasn't worried that Weiwei's father would disagree. "It's only right that I help you get paid. If that doesn't work, I'll use force."

"Slard, tomorrow you will take Baku with you and be in charge of dealing with the rebels. If Vivi is capable of resolving the situation peacefully, then you don't need to intervene. If she isn't, then you will take action. But one thing: you are not allowed to use your Devil Fruit powers!"

Mu Chong turned to look at Slad, entrusting him and Baku with the task of dealing with the rebels. This was, to some extent, a form of training for him.

"Yes, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Slad immediately nodded. It wasn't difficult for him; the only downside was not being able to use his abilities, but it didn't bother him.

"The third thing is that Robin will come with me to the Kingdom's secret chamber tomorrow. I remember there should be a Poneglyph there!"

"what?"

Just as Mu Chong finished speaking, before his words had even faded, Robin and Vivi instantly stood up, staring at Mu Chong in shock and disbelief.

"My lord! How did you know that the Poneglyphs are in the kingdom's secret chamber? My father never told me this!"

Compared to Robin's maturity, Vivi seemed more excited and blurted out the question instinctively.

"Hahahaha! Don't be surprised, Vivi! I know a lot more than that. Tomorrow, what you need to do is persuade your father to let me see the historical text. That's my second request!"

Mu Chong noticed Weiwei's shock, but instead of explaining, he laughed and reminded her...

“I will! But, my lord, if the Poneglyphs are truly in the kingdom's secret chamber, I'm afraid my father will not agree if you wish to take them away…”

Vivi nodded first, then thought for a moment before speaking. She didn't want her father to clash with the person before her.

"Hehehe, don't worry, Vivi! I won't take the Poneglyphs away, I'll just take a look!"

Mu Chong took a sip of his wine, gently shook his head, and said...

While Mu Chong and Weiwei were talking, Robin witnessed everything. At this moment, she was already struggling to control her emotions, and even her eyes were a little moist.

Because she knew that Mu Chong's second request to Weiwei was definitely for her sake, since the chivalrous hero had repeatedly emphasized that he himself did not need the historical text.

Robin took a deep breath, subtly adjusting her breathing to calm herself down.

"Hahaha! Alright! That's all for now, everyone get out! Get some rest!"

After arranging everything, Mu Chong waved to the four of them and then drank his wine by himself.

Hearing Mu Chong's words, the four of them stood up, opened the door, and walked outside. Robin, who was walking at the back, was a little slower. She had only just reached the door when the other three had already gone far away.

creak!

Robin closed the door from the inside, causing Mu Chong to pause in his drinking. He then looked up at Robin in the doorway.

"Hero, is it worth it? You could actually gain a lot from that request..."

Robin stood nervously at the door, her expression hidden by the brim of her hat, and a trembling voice escaped her lips.

"Hehehe! Worth it!"

Hearing Robin's words and seeing her appearance, Mu Chong smiled broadly and said firmly.

"Why... why?"

Robin trembled at the sound, struggling to control his emotions, and asked softly.

"Hmm? Why? Hahahaha! Because I like you! Robin! So I feel it's worth it! Besides, isn't reading the Poneglyphs your long-held wish?"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Mu Chong's eyes, and his tone was also very happy.

"……Thanks!"

creak!

creak!

The sound of a door opening and closing froze Mu Chong, who had been all smiles, in his tracks.
