Huh huh huh???
Watching the giant dragon Thor chew and absorb his Tailed Beast Ball like candy.
Shukaku was utterly dumbfounded, his eyes wide as copper bells.
He knew his ominous premonition had come true; his perception was not wrong.
The aura naturally emanating from Thor was even more terrifying than the Sage of Six Paths.
She was simply a monster among monsters.
At this moment.
Shukaku began to panic.
No longer did he possess his initial arrogance.
"Little tanuki, if you're done, it's my turn next!"
Thor smiled kindly.
"Ah… No, no… Don't be impulsive… Ah ah ah…"
"Don't hit my face… This great master still relies on his face to eat…"
"Hiss hiss hiss, I was wrong, I was wrong… Sister… You are my big sister…"
"This great… No… This little tanuki truly knows its mistake, and will never act arrogant again… Wuwuwu!"
Shukaku's wailing echoed through the desert, lingering endlessly.
Facing humans, Shukaku was arrogant and would rather die than yield.
But facing Thor, facing the giant dragon at the top of the food chain, Shukaku backed down.
After a thorough lesson, Shukaku was thoroughly subdued by Thor, obediently transforming back into his teapot pet form.
At the same time.
Roland also found the heavily injured, one-armed Crocodile in the vast desert.
If it had been another place, Crocodile would definitely have been obliterated by the Tailed Beast Ball.
However, due to the desert being his home ground, Crocodile was lucky enough to survive.
"Let's go back!"
Roland picked up Crocodile, who was like a dead dog.
"Yes~"
Thor held the teapot Shukaku in her left hand and lightly waved her right hand to open a teleportation gate.
When Roland and Thor returned to the palace, everything had already settled.
Vivi's speech had ended, and the Baroque Works senior agents' arrest operation had also been completed.
Except for Miss Goldenweek, who Nami had persuaded to leave early, and Brother 3, who had slipped away when he saw the situation was bad.
All other senior agents were arrested and detained in the capital prison, awaiting their fate.
Palace side hall.
"Captain, Thor"
"Brother, Thor"
"Mr. Roland, Miss Tohru"
Seeing Roland and Thor return, Nami, Kuina, and Vivi's eyes immediately lit up, and they happily ran forward to greet them.
King Cobra, Igaram, Pell, Chacal, and other high-ranking officials of the Kingdom also excitedly stepped forward, thanking them volubly.
"With this, the incident can be considered a complete success!"
Roland handed the dog-like Crocodile over to the Kingdom Army.
"Leave the rest to us, Lord Roland. Please move to the side hall, we have prepared a lavish lunch!"
Said Igaram, the captain of the guard.
Roland nodded and walked towards the side hall, surrounded by the girls.
The lively celebration banquet began.
"Lord Robin, Alabasta will never forget this great kindness. On behalf of all the citizens of Alabasta, I raise a toast to you!"
King Cobra solemnly raised his wine glass.
"King Cobra is too kind, it was merely a small effort. I am a traveler, and meeting during a journey is fate!"
Roland calmly raised his glass in acknowledgment.
"Lord Robin is truly young and promising; I'd like to offer you a toast as well!"
Igaram raised his glass to toast.
Following him were Chacal, and others...
Thirty rounds of drinks later,
Everyone was completely drunk.
"Vivi, you are your father's good daughter, a good princess of the Kingdom. You've truly worked hard until now. This time, Alabasta was able to..."
The drunken Cobra muttered to himself in his dreams.
"Father, what are you talking about? I am the princess of this country; this is all what I should do!"
Vivi giggled.
"But... Father also hopes that you can live a carefree life like any ordinary girl, truly enjoy life's journey, and freely do what you love..."
"Also, marriage matters can now be put on the agenda. If there's a suitable candidate, Father won't stop you... It would be even better if you could give Father a precious grandchild within a year of marriage... *hic*"
