To awaken Conqueror's Haki at such a young age, and to be able to use it so freely, is truly incredible.
Smoker tried to hold his body up and get back into the fight, but the Conqueror's Haki was affecting him too severely.
In the end, Smoker couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
Seeing that Smoker had lost the ability to fight, Raynor directly picked up Nico Robin and prepared to leave.
Just then, Smoker spoke up:
"Hey, kid, who exactly are you!"
Hearing this, Raynor turned to look back and said:
"I can't tell you that, otherwise, it would be a big, big problem. We'll meet again, smoke weed."
With that, Raynor, holding Nico Robin, left. As he watched Raynor disappear, Smoker couldn't help but grumble:
"What a rude kid, I'll catch you sooner or later!"
...
Raynor found a place and set Nico Robin down.
Then, he bandaged Nico Robin's wounds with bandages.
Nico Robin soon opened her eyes and looked at Raynor.
But she didn't say a word. She was now like a lamb to the slaughter.
No matter what Raynor did to her, she wouldn't complain.
Seeing Nico Robin awake, Raynor stood up.
"Since you're awake, I'll be going now. My companions are still waiting for me."
Afterward, Raynor turned to leave, but upon hearing this, Nico Robin's pupils constricted, and she then said:
"Didn't you want me to join your pirate crew?"
"Isn't this a great opportunity right now?"
Hearing this, Raynor turned back and said:
"I invited you to join the ship, but I won't force your will."
"Tomorrow afternoon, before three o'clock, if you want to come, come find us at the East Port."
Saying this, Raynor walked straight towards the direction of the royal palace.
Watching Raynor's retreating back, Nico Robin's eyes trembled, and her heart pounded.
Perhaps this was her salvation.
...
Raynor quickly returned to the royal palace. At this time, the rebels and the royal army had reached a reconciliation under Igaram's revelation.
Cobra decided to host a banquet for Luffy and the others.
To thank them for saving Alabasta.
And for sparing millions of lives in Alabasta from suffering.
Upon hearing that there would be a banquet, Luffy excitedly clenched his fists and roared to the sky.
"Banquet, banquet, I want to eat ten tons of meat!"
Hearing this, Sanji kicked Luffy in the head.
"Hey, don't waste food! What's the point of you eating so much every day!"
Hearing this, Luffy turned his head, his face twisted as he looked at Sanji, then stuck out his tongue.
Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the king then led them into the palace.
Looking at the luxurious interior of the palace, Luffy and the others cheered.
The group sat around the table, and soon, large portions of fish and meat were served.
Just as everyone was about to dig in, Luffy went into a looting frenzy.
He activated his Gum-Gum Fruit ability and snatched all the meat from their plates.
This caused everyone to become incredibly angry and resentful.
"Hey, Luffy, eat more quietly!"
Hearing this, Luffy, while chewing, glared at them with wide eyes.
"Hey, why aren't you eating? The meat here is super delicious!"
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't stand it any longer and went up to punch and kick Luffy.
Seeing this, the royal guards standing around frowned.
"Too rude, simply too rude."
"Pirates are pirates, not elegant at all."
"How could the princess make friends with these people."
Hearing the idle gossip of the surrounding royal guards, the Straw Hat crew became a bit more restrained.
However, Luffy didn't care at all, he directly stretched out both his hands, gathered all the plates with food into his mouth, and then spat out the plates.
Seeing this, Vivi couldn't help but smile. This was the true state of the Straw Hat crew.
Compared to them, Raynor was much more well-behaved.
Although Raynor also had a large appetite, he would never gobble his food down like Luffy.
Raynor used his chopsticks to pick up the meat around him piece by piece, licking it into his mouth.
With the help of Observation Haki, he successfully dodged Luffy's grasping hands.
So, besides Luffy and Raynor, the other crew members didn't eat much.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the Straw Hat crew began their entertainment activities.
Chopper stuck two chopsticks in his nose and playfully danced on the table.
Luffy, with his mouth stretched wide, changed his facial expressions in various ways.
Seeing this, even the royal army couldn't help but laugh.
A joyful banquet concluded amidst this cheerful laughter.
After playing until they were tired, Cobra invited the Straw Hat crew to the bathhouse to wash up.
Soaking in the warm water, Raynor and the others felt a heavenly sensation.
However, at this moment, Sanji smirked and then whispered into Igaram's ear:
"Hey, hey, where's the women's bathhouse?"
Hearing this, a fierce look appeared in Igaram's eyes.
"Huh? You perverted cook, don't you have any ideas about Princess Vivi."
Before Igaram could finish speaking, Cobra pointed to the other side and said:
"Ah, it's over there, do you want to see?"
Hearing Cobra's words, Igaram became furious and punched Cobra on the head.
"Hey, are you Vivi's biological father? How can you say such lewd things!"
Hearing this, Cobra burst out laughing.
"What does it matter? They saved Vivi's life anyway. It's not like anything will happen from just a peek."
Upon hearing this, Sanji walked over, patted Cobra on the chest, and smiled slyly, saying:
"See, this is modern liberalism."
With that, Sanji beckoned everyone, preparing to climb to the bathhouse to catch a glimpse.
Luffy and the others also responded.
Although Raynor wasn't very interested in their boring behavior, he still followed along. Sanji and the others climbed the wall.
At this moment, Vivi was scrubbing Nami's back. She suddenly saw Raynor and the others peeking over the wall and let out a scream.
"What are you doing? This is so rude!"
Hearing this, they ignored her. Sanji's eyes were about to pop out.
But at this moment, Nami revealed a sly smile.
"Do you really want to see? It's one hundred thousand Berry per person."
Saying that, Nami stood up and openly spread her arms. The scene of breathtaking beauty before them.
Stunned, Luffy and the others fell off the wall.
Seeing this, Raynor rolled his eyes and then indifferently jumped down.
The others were fine, but Sanji's nose started bleeding profusely, forming a pool of blood around him.
