One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 490 Nefertiti Vivi and Alabasta

That night,

Alabasta, the royal city of Alupana.

An atmosphere of sadness enveloped the city and the entire country.

The spirit flags are flying, the mourning belts are hanging high,

White has become the main color of this thousand-year-old capital.

Above the city gate hangs a huge black-and-white photo of the former king Cobra.

In front of the royal palace, people who came spontaneously to pay their respects formed a long queue, walked silently to the palace wall one by one, and presented wreaths to the deceased old king.

They came from all over the country, and some even left their hometowns for the first time in their lives and rushed here to see the old king off for the last time.

Many people had tears on their faces.

The dark night and the cold wind made the atmosphere even more depressing.

"It's Princess Weiwei!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Then, everyone looked up at once. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of eyes were focused on the girl on the palace wall.

Princess Vivi, the only daughter of King Cobra and the sole heir to Alabasta, who was only sixteen years old, walked to the top of the city wall alone in plain white clothes.

At this time, Weiwei looked particularly haggard.

She had been very familiar with this tower since she was a child, so familiar with it that she could not remember how many times she had climbed it, so familiar with it that she could recognize every building she could see from here, so familiar with it that she remembered every brick and tile on the tower, this step where she had fallen when she was a child, and that tile on which she had carved...

But at this moment, this city tower seemed extremely strange.

This time, she neither came here to enjoy the scenery nor did she want to sneak out of the royal city from upstairs to play with her friends... If she had to say it, it was a bit like the annual meeting between the royal family of Alabasta and the people.

Weiwei has participated in such activities countless times.

But this time, unlike every time before, her father was no longer by her side, the figure who, although not tall, always protected her from the wind and rain.

The biting cold wind made her shiver uncontrollably, and she almost stumbled and fell off the city wall.

After the news of Cobra's death came out, Vivi first went to the port to welcome the delegation sent by Alabasta to attend the World Conference. Then, she was responsible for handling the condolences that came from many countries.

The memorial service for King Cobra, stabilizing the domestic situation, contacting neighboring countries, and even the succession to the throne and the transfer of power, countless complicated tasks, all came overwhelmingly and weighed on Vivi.

She was only sixteen years old, and the burden of the country should not have fallen on her. But now, Cobra suddenly passed away. Queen Diti, who heard the bad news from Profique, cried so hard that she fainted. The details of Cobra's death were not known until after Vivi returned to the palace.

In the entire country, the only person who can come out to take charge of the situation is Vivi, who is of the Nefit family bloodline.

not to mention……

Cobra's death involves a shocking secret and concerns the lives of tens of millions of people in Alabasta.

It was at that moment that Weiwei suddenly realized that she was stronger than she thought. The sadness of hearing the bad news was diluted in the shortest time by the responsibility given by the country.

The news that the World Government had killed King Cobra was like a thunderbolt. But she quickly calmed down and made up her mind almost immediately about what would happen to Alabasta.

And when she received a call from the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff Sabo, Sabo was almost stunned.

In a trance, he felt that the person he was talking to was not a noble princess who had been pampered since childhood and was at a loss when she heard the bad news, but another well-tested warrior.

And now, she has the last, but also the most important task before her - to announce the truth about the death of King Cobra to all citizens, and to decide the future of Alabasta.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Weiwei suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, forced herself to calm down, and raised her head to face the dark crowd.

"People of Alabasta! Now, our country has reached its most dangerous moment..." A clear voice echoed over the capital of Alabasta, "Alabasta needs everyone to unite and overcome the difficulties together..."

"I, Nephite Vivi, hereby officially declare that from today on, I will succeed the throne of Alabasta!"
