Chapter -35 - 34: Two Kings Negotiation 2

While Law was busy searching for informations, Narmi and the others had reached the front of the Alubarna Palace. The guards placed there quickly stopped them.

"Halt! What is your purpose of coming here? This place was off-limit. Only with the King's permission should you enter."

"I am Narmi Amsi. These here was my crew member and family. I came here to negotiate with your king."

"No negotiation with our king. You are not worthy to even negotiate with His Majesty."

"Even if I can help him solved the drought problem that was occuring in Alabasta?"

Hearing that Narmi came here, having a solution on their drought problems, the guard obviously were flustered.

"W-W-Wait a second sir. I will called for our superior. Please wait for a moment. This thing here wasn't on our jurisdiction." the guard said while prompting for the other guard to call for their superior.

Narmi knew that the guards just doing their duty, so he just simply put it off saying that he don't mind. As a matter of course, he wanted to leave a good impressions towards the resident of the Alubarna Palace.

Even though for him, if he want to barged into the palace, not even one people could stop him. But then his conscience prevent him from doing that. This conscience was the thing that help him preserve the humanity of him in this world.

After a few minutes of waiting, finally the guard came back with a tall man on his tow. This man a little red nose, with a blonde hair with a resemblance of powdered wig style.

"Hello young man. My name is Igaram, the Captain of Alabasta Royal Guard. I heard from my subordinate saying that you want to negotiate with His Majesty right?"

"Yeah." "And if I may ask, how did you intend to solve the problem?"

"I'm not going to answer you here now. But, I can ȧssure you that should your king accept my negotiation, I promise that this drought problem would be settled."

"I understand. Come and follow me. I would bring you to His Majesty. But you would be warned to not do anything towards His Majesty, or else we would battle you to death."

"Don't worry. If I was intending to do anything, shouldn't I just started to raze this place from the palace entrance?" Narmi said while slowly releasing his ferocious and domineering aura.

Igaram, the one who bear the full brunt of the aura, felt cold sweat drenching his back. He felt like death had came near him. Then, he understood that this young man really didn't intend to wreak havoc in here, so he brought him to the King's Audience Chamber with an ease expression.

After about 15 minutes walking, they finally reached a big chamber, with the king was sitting on his throne. Igaram bowed towards the king, but didn't asked for Narmi to bowed, as he knew that it was useless.

Some of the members in the audience chamber felt that the young man attitude was rude, so one of them quickly shouted towards him.

"BOW YOUR HEAD TOWARDS THE KING!"

"I, NARMI AMSI, BOW TO NO ONE"

All the people present in the audience chamber, broke in cold sweat with the release of his aura. They didn't thought this frail-looking, thin-build young man would have such a ferocious and domineering aura. The king, Nefertari Cobra just smiled with his action.

Seeing that he had intimidated the people enough, Narmi retracted back his aura. He then proceed to gave his proposition towards Cobra, with full confidence that he would accept it.

"King Cobra, I am Narmi Amsi, Captain of Grand King Pirates. I came here in hope that you will accept negotiation with me. My term was that I would settle the culprit of drought problem that plaguing Alabasta and in exchange you would let us see the poneglyph."

"Hmm? Isn't the drought was a natural one? How come you said you would settle the culprit?" Cobra curiously asked

"This drought was not a natural one. It was a man-made using Dance Powder."

"Dance Powder?!" all of the people exclaimed in shocked.

"I take it you all know about Dance Powder. Well yes it is, this was caused by it. Apparently, the culprit want something in Alabasta, thus he did this so he could frame you and made the civilians to rebel against you."

Cobra was stunned when he heard Narmi's word as he didn't expect it was a man-made drought. Not only that, it was caused by Dance Powder. Cobra thought that if it was this young man, he probably could help him find the culprit. Thus, he raised himself from the throne and said.

"Please, I'm asking for your help in catching this individual. I'm willing to give in to what you want."

Corba then want to bowed himself before Narmi. Narmi saw that he want to bowed, swiftly made his way to stopped him. Cobra was shocked when Narmi stopped him from bowing.

"A king should never bowed himself in the presence of his subjects, unless the target for the bow was a worthy one. This was a king's pride. This is a negotiation between us two, King of the World and King of Alabasta."

Cobra felt the majestic of the young man in front of him when he said that. He felt moved by his words and quickly held out his hand for a handshake.

"Then I guess we could only do a handshake. I'm counting on you, King of the World."

"Yeah, we could. Don't worry, the culprit will soon be in my care."

"How are you felt very confidence that you could catch the culprit? And why did you really want to catch him?"

"Well, right now one of my men was searching for the culprit's whereabouts. I'm waiting for his call. As for why, first it was to make it as a negotiation chips for the poneglyph, as my lover want to read it. Another reason, the culprit dared planning on to catch my lover. And for that, I can't forgive him."

Narmi said with his aura slightly leaking. Cobra truly felt that he was glad this young man were to side with them. If they were to face him, he was sure Alabasta would cease to exist.

Suddenly, a ringing sound could be heard from the inside of Narmi's overcoat. Narmi proceed to pick it up.

"Narmi, I got information about Baroque Works. Their base was in Rainbase, more specifically, Rain Dinners. Also, there were a large group of people searching for Nico Robin right now. Want me to tell them their locations?"

Obviously, Narmi knew their location, but he just want the source of information to be reliable, so he just asked Law to find the informations.

"Yeah" Narmi replied in a cold tone.

"Alright." Law replied, knowing that the large group of people had offended someone they shouldn't offended. He proceed to tell Narmi all of their location and cut off his contact when Narmi told him to went towards the direction of Rainbase and wait for the others.

Narmi who just got the information, turned his head towards Robin and the others and ordered them.

"Robin, Nami and Henry. Go towards Law's location. If anyone blocked your path, just killed them. Their target is you Robin. Well, you guys are now on par with the Yonko so nothing bad could had happened. Wait for me there. I'm going to rampaged around for a bit. Dared to try catching my lover. Their rewards should be death."

Narmi then walked away from Alubarna Palace alone, while Robin and the others went towards Law's locations. Cobra just watched their silhouettes slowly became smaller before they were gone.

"I pray for you guys to successfully caught the culprit." Cobra sincerely said that while a smile was plastered on his face
