The banquet hall was silent.
Neferutari Didi looked at her husband in surprise. Vivi held a spoon in her arms and struggled to scoop it into her mouth.
"Ancestor Lily."
After a long time, Kobra finally murmured with a complicated expression.
"It is this ancestor."
Xia Le nodded.
"So, what do you know?"
Kobra asked.
He only vaguely knew something about this ancestor, remembering that he was one of the twenty kings eight hundred years ago.
But I don’t know more about it. Maybe it can be found in the documents that have been passed down?
"Eight hundred years ago, twenty kings were the winners, and Lily's ancestor should be one of them."
"Because of this, the Nefertari clan became the Celestial Dragons, but does the eldest brother know why the ancestors did not move into Marijoa?"
Xia Le smiled lightly.
He planned to expose Neferutari's roots directly, which also made the elder brother cautious.
In this way, you can also directly avoid the outcome of being killed directly when the other party sees Im in the future.
"I don't know this."
"Is there a bigger secret behind this matter?"
Kobra asked doubtfully.
He was already surprised that his younger brother knew about Queen Lily, but the other party seemed to be aware of something more secret.
"Neferutari is not from the same group as Mary Joa's group!"
Xia Le sighed lightly.
Cobra was shocked and stared at his younger brother: "What does this mean?"
"To be more precise, we are born to be their enemies!"
Xia Le's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice.
Then, he met Kobra's gaze again.
"Our ancestor, Neferutari Lily."
"Its real name should be."
The voice became ethereal at this moment, Cobra's whole body was shaken, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.
"Neferutari D Lily!"
Vaguely, thunder and lightning seemed to flash across the banquet hall, ringing in the ears of several people.
"D!"
Kobra murmured, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
Didi beside her also had her eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"What D stands for has been forgotten by the world over eight hundred years."
"But what is certain is that it will definitely be incompatible with the Tianlong people."
"In history, they have launched more than one bloody massacre against people with D."
Xia Le's voice floated out slowly.
Kobra's expression changed and he fell silent for a moment.
For eight hundred years, they have always lived as Celestial Dragons. Although the Neferutari clan has never believed in that, they have their own way of living.
But suddenly, the truth told them that they were the enemies of the Celestial Dragons!
"Xia Le!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Since you brought this matter up to me, you must have some ideas in mind, right?"
Cobra took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xia Le glanced at Weiwei and spoke softly.
"Telling it out is just for me to make preparations and to prevent you from becoming impulsive and causing hard-to-lose consequences when you discover the truth of the matter in the future."
"As for D, we still have to hide it for now."
"In other words, brother, you are still a Celestial Dragon and the king of Alabasta!"
Kobra nodded and let out a long breath.
Suddenly faced with such a thing, he felt a little hard to calm down.
But the psychological quality of being a king is still there, so he calmed down quickly.
"Secondly, before the matter is exposed, do all you can to secretly enhance the foundation of the Kingdom of Alabasta!"
"More strong men, more powerful weapons!"
"I will also support Alabasta on this one."
Xia Le said with a smile.
"good!"
"I seem to understand why you became a marine."
Kobra's eyes flashed.
"Only those with real power will have the right to reshape the rules."
"Only can we give people the world they want!"
Xia Le sighed.
"Kingdom Guards, I've seen it."
"The strength may be acceptable in the eyes of brother, but in my opinion."
"too weak!"
"Their strength is not even comparable to that of some pirates."
Then, Xia Le shook his head again.
Cobra frowned and stopped talking.
Ali Bastan does have some training methods for cultivating strong men, but that's all, and naturally cannot be compared with the navy.
"Leave them to me and I will arrange for someone to train them."
"Given enough time, Alabasta will have a strong guard."
"Today, we are still in the dark and there is still a chance."
Xia Le said.
Kobra nodded: "No problem, this country is yours too, just do what you want."
After a pause, he hesitated again.
"As long as it does not harm the interests of civilians, I will acquiesce in your approach."
Xia Le smiled slightly: "Brother, you are a benevolent monarch, but I am also a just navy."
Kobra laughed.
The serious topic ended quickly, and the two brothers drank happily at the table as if nothing had happened.
Xia Le told Weiwei some interesting stories, which made her laugh and planted a seed in her young heart.
Although this niece is only two years old, she is extremely smart.
After the banquet, the two of them walked around the palace.
“Are they going to go against you at this world conference?”
Kobra asked in a deep voice.
"There may be some friction, but it's not a big problem."
Xia Le replied with a smile.
"Brother, there is no need to worry about me. You should protect yourself."
Kobra also smiled when he heard this: "Yes, compared to your strength, I am too weak, and I even have to rely on the protection of the Kingdom Guards."
There was also a bit of melancholy as he spoke.
Although the royal family has a very high status and power, they can only control their own destiny. Civilians armed with sharp weapons on the streets will endanger their lives.
"They will not take action without being exposed."
Xia Le said.
"I plan to leave in three days to go to Mariejoia."
"And, I have prepared some proposals of my own."
Kobra said.
The so-called world conference is a conference where all countries in the world come together to discuss and make resolutions for the peace and stability of the entire world.
Some of them will be refuted and some of them will be adopted.
Although the Tianlong people are aloof, the surface stability and peace are naturally more in line with their interests.
"Yeah?"
"I do have some opinions here. Brother, can you join in?"
Xia Le said suddenly.
"sure!"
Cobra was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He recalled that when he was young, the two brothers dug out a hornet's nest and he protected his brother, only to be stung all over his head. He couldn't help but have a doting smile on his face.
The older a person gets, the more he will understand the value of family ties.
"But before you go, you need to change your outfit."
"After all, you are representing the royal family of Alabasta during this trip."
Cobra said again.
Xia Le was stunned.
On the second day, as the legendary vice-admiral of the navy, the commander-in-chief of the West Sea, and the largest warlord in the navy, he became deeply aware of the true enjoyment and luxurious life of the nobility.
Even though the Neferutari are a clan that is very close to the common people, the royal family is the royal family, and their superficial majesty, clothing, etiquette, etc. are all extremely strict.
The short hair was repaired by a professional barber to make it more stylish, and the robe was also designed by a professional designer to create a loose brocade robe.
"Wow, sir, you look more majestic and full of aristocracy."
Eveya's eyes widened and she shouted in surprise.
Xia Le rolled up his sleeves, looked in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.
Different clothes can indeed reflect different temperaments.
Alabasta's unique dressing style vividly displays the strong sense of oppression in his three-meter-tall, extremely strong body.
Tall and mighty!
He wears a dark brown thin coat on the outside, and a loose robe on the inside, paired with Ace, one of the twelve skills of the supreme sharp sword, on his waist.
On the whole, Xia Le's whole body exudes a noble, graceful, domineering and powerful aura at this moment.
It was completely different from his temperament when he was a vice admiral, but he perfectly displayed the majesty of a high-ranking nobleman.
Immediately afterwards, professional eyebrow trimmers, facial trimmers, and pedicurists lined up to come in.
As the king, Kobra put aside everything at hand, put his hand on his chin, and personally took care of his brother's appearance.
"good!"
"The world conference is coming soon. My brother's handsome appearance should make everyone attending the conference shine."
"It would be better if we could attract some princesses from other kingdoms."
Kobra nodded with satisfaction.
In a blink of an eye, time came to the third day.
Under the protection of the Kingdom's guards, the group headed to Rapeseed Port and boarded the Kingdom's ship.
Cobra, Didi, Vivi, Ikarem, etc. It can be said that almost all the high-ranking figures in the kingdom are here.
Coupled with Xia Le and his party, there were a lot of people, but it didn't seem crowded.
"This boat is too big!"
“Besides, it’s so luxurious!”
"Compared with the interior and configuration of our warships, they are like beggars."
Eveya said in admiration.
Xia Le was not too surprised. After all, Alabasta was one of the most powerful countries in the Great Alley. As a royal family, he naturally had his own pomp and circumstance.
What he was more concerned about at the moment was what happened after arriving at Mariejoia.
"World Conference."
"It's a rare event!"
Muttering, Xia Le looked ahead at Vivi in Cobra's arms, laughing and shouting excitedly because of the vast sea.
"These can be considered some of the closest people to me in this world."
"It's not bad."
Then, he whispered to Eveya behind him.
"Sir."
Ifuya lowered her voice, seeing that the other party had something to tell her.
"Inform Crocodile and head to Alabasta immediately."
After a pause, Xia Le smiled softly.
"The headquarters of Baroque should be established in this country!"
