Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 103

Ron traversed the desert at breakneck speed and finally found the large rock in the desert at noon.

Arriving at the base of the large rock, Ron activated the Transparent World and easily found the entrance to the quicksand cave leading underground.

Ron stepped directly into it.

After falling dozens of meters underground, his body landed heavily on solid ground, the stones beneath his feet shattered, the entire ruins trembled, and quicksand flowed down from above.

"It is indeed here."

Ron looked at the historical inscription stone in front of him, which was nearly half-buried in the ground, and a smile appeared on his face.

"System, scan."

After storing the historical inscription stone in his system space, Ron immediately used Moonwalk to leave the mysterious pit of unknown origin and sped towards Albana.

Until dusk.

He met up with Robin and Connie outside the city of Albana, as agreed.

The three of them entered the capital of Alabasta together.

Inside a tavern, the three of them ate and rested while discussing their next plan.

"Next, I will go to the palace to retrieve the stone tablet that records the Poneglyphs. Connie, Robin, you two wait for me outside."

Ron said as he ate his steak.

Connie nodded.

Robin, with a glass of juice in front of her, looked surprised.

"The stone tablet to seize the Poneglyphs? How exactly are we going to bring something so heavy out of the palace?"

Ron, without even looking up, said, "Have you forgotten my abilities?"

Robin looked enlightened.

If it's that kind of ability, then it's indeed possible to do it.

After thinking for a moment, Ron reached out and pulled a large bag from thin air, placed it on the table, and said to the two women sitting opposite him, "There are probably tens of millions of Berries in here. You can go and buy some clothes, food, and other things you want. Robin, if you can find a way, you can also get some gunpowder back."

"learn."

Robin nodded.

96. Princess Vivi and the Black-Clad Boy at the Funeral Ceremony (3/4, please customize!)

After nightfall.

The three of them split up.

Neferutali Cobra, the 12th king of Alabasta, is still a beloved monarch of Ziming.

The capital city of Albana was a thriving and stable place, with lights shining brightly even at night, and armored guards patrolling the streets.

Inside the palace.

Kobra is handling government affairs.

The door was gently pushed open, and a little girl with blue hair tied in a bun, fair skin, and a delicate and adorable face, wearing a pale yellow princess dress, squeezed through the open door.

"Father."

Cobra looked up and saw the little girl running towards him with a smile: "Vivi, what's wrong?"

Ten-year-old Princess Neferutali Vivi of Alabasta, still an innocent and adorable little girl, looked up with her big, round eyes and said to Cobra, who was sitting behind the table, "It's very late, Father, aren't you going to rest?"

"Haha, if a king rests before finishing his daily duties, he cannot be considered a competent monarch."

Cobra smiled at her, then lowered his head to attend to official business.

"Weiwei, if there's nothing else, you should go back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei's big eyes lit up: "Okay, I understand. Father, you should get some rest too."

After she left the house, she immediately lifted her skirt and ran down the corridor.

She ran to a palace courtyard and called out to Karu, the mount she had hidden there.

"Karu, let's continue our palace adventure from last night tonight."

"Pulu pulu".

"Alright, let's go then, head west towards the palace!"

Princess Vivi, who was riding on its back, pointed westward.

"Pulu pulu".

Karu, the land duck, carried Princess Vivi as they ran westward toward the palace.

……

In front of the burial hall on the west side of the royal palace.

A dark figure appeared before the palace guards who were protecting the area.

Before they could even react, they were all silently knocked unconscious.

"What...person?"

The guard captain who was guarding the place fell to the ground, struggling to see the person's face, but he only caught a blurry glimpse of a back before immediately fainting.

Wearing a black long-sleeved trench coat, Ron opened the mechanism entrance to the burial hall and stepped inside.

Not long after he went in.

Princess Vivi, riding Karu, arrived here.

When she saw the group of guards lying on the ground, her eyes widened slightly.

"Have bad guys broken into the palace?"

Weiwei looked at the open door, feeling both scared and excited.

"Karu, how about we sneak in and take a look?"

"Plop..."

"Hey, don't be scared. I'm Princess Vivi, the vice-captain of the Sasha Squad. It's my duty to fight bad guys and protect the palace."

Vivi patted Karu's head, who was shaking his head incessantly, with her little hand and said angrily, "You are my mount partner, and I won't allow you to be so timid."

"Hey, just take a look, and you'll be right back. Aren't you a fast runner? Don't be afraid."

Under her persuasion, the land duck Karu gradually grew bolder and took a step towards the gate.

As they stepped through the open, mechanical door, both the man and the duck swallowed hard and tiptoed down the stairs, holding their breath.

Upon arriving at the main hall of the burial temple.

From afar, Weiwei spotted the figure in black standing in front of the stone tablet, with his back to them.

"Is he the bad guy...?"

Weiwei thought to herself.

Then, she watched in disbelief as the huge stone tablet in front of that person suddenly vanished.

Vivi couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand to avoid screaming.

Hey?

Did that huge stone tablet really disappear?

what is the problem?

Did he do it?

Is this a magic trick?

Just as Weiwei's little head was filled with random thoughts, the person in the black trench coat turned around.

To Weiwei's surprise.

The person turned out to be a black-haired boy who looked not much older than himself, with gentle and delicate features and a calm and composed demeanor.

His gaze fell on Vivi and Karu, the land duck beneath her.

Karu stared at him, his animal instincts for danger activated, cold sweat poured down his body, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

Without saying a word, he immediately grabbed Weiwei and ran away as fast as he could.

"Hey, Karu, what's wrong?!"

Vivi, who was pressed tightly against its back, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Plu-pu-lu!"

"Huh? You mean scary? That person didn't seem scary at all..."

Weiwei couldn't help but turn her head to look, and was surprised to find that the person had disappeared without her noticing.

The land duck Karu carried Vivi out of the mechanical gate of the burial temple.
