After crossing the Sandoria River again, Adam drove back toward Alubarna.
" So, lets live first in the Royal Palace.. Then set sail again 3 days later.. How ?? " Adam ask everyone inside the car while driving..
" Yes teacher ! "
" Umm.. Yes, we spend to much time at the sea.. lets rest at Vivi"s place.." Nami said excitedly.
Robin nodded smiling.
Soon the car was outside Alubarna. Adam and everyone get off the car. After keeping the car to his Storage Ring, Adam take out 4 green cloak for them to wear, with the hood enough to hide their facial characteristic.
" Lets go.. " Adam said excitedly
Adam, Nami, Robin and Koby walk toward Alubarna calmly without anyone stopping. Until Adam arrive infront of the huge Royal Palace and were stopped by the guards.
" What are you doing? Here is the Royal Palace!! " A guard ask with vigilance
Adam didnt answer, he disappear in place leaving Nami, Robin and Koby there quickly surrounded by the royal guards.
" Vivi, we are coming, the guards were stopping us.." Adam appear behind Vivi who was leaning on the window blankly looking at distance and whisper towards behind her ear and a bit blewing teasing her. Before Vivi can respond, Adam already disappear again and back to the front gate with the others.
The Royal Guars surround Adam, Nami, Robin and Koby who silent and didnt move from the guards questioning and just wait and stood still there.
" No.. dont.. they are my friends.. " Vivi voice was heard behind the royal guards who surround Adam and the others..
" Princess Vivi !! " Everyone said respectfully.
" Everyone.." Vivi can see 4 people wearing cloak. The tallest should be Adam, the shortest should be Keby. While the other was Nami and Robin. Vivi quickly hug Nami and Robin, then invite everyone in.
" Cough.." Adam cough weakly didnt get the hug too. But Vivi didnt respond and just glance embarassedly.
Then Adam and the others follow Vivi inside the palace toward where her father was.
" Father !! i bring my friends i have told you about.." Vivi said pushing the door without knocking, then she look around inside the room embarassedly
Inside the room was Igaram, the captain of the Royal Guards. Pell and Chaka which was the Head Guards in the Alabasta Kingdom that serve under Igaram. And the other was Nefertari Cobra, the king of the Alabasta Kingdom and the father of Vivi.
Pell was a tall man with purple line under each eye that runs down the sides of his face, making him resemble a falcon. Wearing a long white robe with brown star-like motifs on it and a matching hat.
Chaka was a tall man too, with imposing dark skinned man with medium length black hair and a long broad nose resembling that of a jackal.
Cobra is a man of average height with wrinkled face, a tied-off beard, and long, curly, black hair. He was currently sitting on the throne discussing some matters with Igaram, Pell and Chaka.
" Vivi, come invite your friend in.. Igaram, Pell, Chaka you can go.." Cobra said to everyone.
" Yes my king ! " Igaram, Pell and Chaka respectfuly bow and leave the hall.
The three out of the room passing the Vivi, then passing the four people in cloak. Pell and Chaka only look at it with curiousity, only Igaram smile.
Adam and the others enter the hall, when the door close. Adam open the hood of hs cloak follow by Nami, Robin and Koby..
" Hello Vivi"s father.." Adam said with a smille.
" Good.. handsome.. very suitable for Vivi.. " Cobra said laughingly.
"FATHER !! " Vivi shout embarassedly
Adam just scratch his head embarassedly, while Nami and Robin keep smiling. Only Koby who was blank.
" Cough,, Vivi"s father.. We need a place to stay, can we" Adam words were interupted
" GOOOD.. Stay as long as you want, feel free like your own house.." Cobra said quickly.
" Thank you, Old man Cobra.. That i still have a request, hope you can consider it.." Adam said with gratitude and said seriously the next sentence.
" Talk.. " Cobra said leisurely.
" I will take the Poneglyph in the Tomb of the Kings. " Adam pause looking at Cobra face change ugly and continue.
" Old man Cobra, your family has been protecting it for centuries. But, if im correct, it was a mission. Misson that can be cleared when the Poneglyph your family guard for centuries is read by someone. And also, keeping the Poneglyph will bring great harm to your country. Oh, i dont need the Pluton, without the Poneglyph i already found the location. But, its just a scrap of steel, you can say that it was a broken ship.. "
" Pluton is only a broken ship. Even if there is someone who build it again, a punch is enough.. I need it because my family here wants to intercept it. Maybe she will find the history she looking for.. " Adam said patted Robin shoulder who was beside him.
" Nico.. Nico Robin !! " Cobra said shockedly after looking at Robin carefully
" Why so shocked old man Cobra. Do you think a 8 year old child can destroy six warship?? " Adam said seriously and a bit anger in his eyes.
" FATHER !!! " Vivi shout toward Cobra waking him up.
" Yes, its better to take the Poneglyph away.. Thank you Vivi"s friends.." Cobra stood up from his throne and try to bow, but before he can bow, Adam already stop him by holding his shoulders.
" Dont Old man Cobra, Vivi is our friend. Even without her, we will still help solve Crocodile. " Adam said with his grin.
Cobra look up at Adam grin face and smile.
" Hahaha good.. Lets go to the Poneglyph first.. " Cobra said laughingly.
Soon everyone went to the Tomb of the Kings. And Robin excitedly intercept the Poneglyph.
" Nothing, it was just telling the location of Pluton.. " Robin sigh helplessly.
" Dont worry, soon we will find the true history.. " Adam said patted Robin shoulder gently.
Then Adam take out the Poneglyph from his Storage Ring which was found in the ruins before and explain to Cobra and Vivi.
" So thats why our ancestor join the other 19 royal family.. " Cobra shaking his head helplessly.
" A city which was bigger than Alubarna and is already turn to ruins?? No information about that city, Adam? " Vivi ask with curiousity.
" Hmm.. I dont know. Maybe your father does know.. " Adam said pointing to Cobra.
" That is the previous capital of Alabasta.. It was destroyed by the other 19 family when we reject to live at Mariejoa.. So we move toward the other side of the island crossing the Sandoria River. It was a classified as secret, only the King can know from the book left by the previous king.."Cobra said helplessly.
" Why classified as secret ? " Vivi ask with curiousity.
" Because, if many people knew, it will be trouble if someone wants to try to revenge toward them, and we dont have the power to fight against them.. So it can only endure.. " Cobra explain with sadness.
" The past is the past, soon they will disappear. Dont worry.. Lets go back to the Royal Palace.. I want to feel the Royal Bath how good it is.. " Adam sait easing the sad atmosphere..
