One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 121 Isabella III’s gratitude

Dawn, who defeated Tepruto and others, naturally became the hero of the Kingdom of Vera and the guest of King Isabella III.

That night, Isabella III arranged for Profik and others to rest in the palace.

Rest is of course very necessary, and not just rest, but also bathing and treatment.

After this fierce battle, everyone was more or less stained with sweat, blood, dust and other dirty things, and their clothes were inevitably damaged, so they naturally needed to take a shower and change clothes.

In addition, Profik's injuries were not minor at all. His left arm's shoulder blade was penetrated directly by Tepruto's fangs, and a large bloody hole appeared. Continuous use of the fruit's ability overextended his physical strength and energy, and he was even affected by the venom and fell into a coma.

Currently, he is being treated by doctors from the Kingdom of Vera. Fortunately, although the venom of the Taranto poisonous spider can cause severe pain, it is not fatal, so Profik's life is not in danger.

Of course, except for Fuentes, who was temporarily left in Ebinski Port by Profik to guard the Bifur, no news has been received yet. It is estimated that it will take at least tomorrow to reach King Villa City smoothly.

The first person to complete these tasks was, as usual, Morana. During the battle, she was not injured to begin with, and she didn't even sweat much. Although her clothes were a little damaged, she could just replace them with a new one.

"You are really powerful..." It was Danjuma who spoke. Because he was accidentally slashed on the arm by an enemy during the battle, he did not go to take a shower, but was receiving simple treatment from a doctor.

Danjuma had always known that Morana was powerful, but he had never had any idea of ​​just how strong she was. Even the last time Morana defeated Caesar, Danjuma didn't witness it with his own eyes. It wasn't until this battle that he saw the huge Snail Dragon with his own eyes, and the overwhelming power of the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit left a deep impression on him.

"Tell me, if I eat a Devil Fruit, will I be as strong as you?"

Faced with Danjuma's question, Morana did not answer. He just found a seat and sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You're probably worried about Profik," Gao Shifu answered Danjuma's doubts, "Don't worry, our captain won't die that easily."

In the battle just now, except for some dust on his feet, Gao Shifu could be considered unscathed. Therefore, he was the second to come out of the shower, only a little later than Morana. The reason is that he spent a little more time thinking about which clothes to wear.

"Brother, haven't you woken up yet?" Matifa also came over at this time. Although she was worried about Profic, she was still attracted by the dazzling array of clothes in the palace wardrobe and chose a light pink one that fit well and was beautiful. dress.

"The doctor said it's not life-threatening," Molana replied, "but it will take some more time to sleep before I wake up."

After a while, Star also came. He suffered a slight injury in the battle just now, and it took a little longer to deal with the wound.

Princess Alice also arrived with Star. Although Princess Alice was still bandaged, her spirit had become much better. I guess it was because I expected Vera to survive this crisis safely, and I felt happy from the bottom of my heart.

Araki did not appear with Alice. As the army commander of the Kingdom of Vera, he had just led the army and set off toward Astun in a mighty manner. Although Richardo has been arrested, the remaining rebels still have a strong power, and he still has to travel to various parts of the country to take charge of the overall situation.

"Everyone," Alice said, "Father is very grateful for your help. He specially asked me to arrange rooms for you, so that you can rest peacefully in the palace. In addition, Father has prepared a welcome ceremony for you, which will be tomorrow. Please You will be rewarded then.”

……

The next day, Profik finally woke up. The treatment by doctors from the Kingdom of Vera played a certain role, but the decisive factors were time and his physical fitness.

After waking up, he briefly learned about the situation in the Kingdom of Vera, and was dragged to the welcome banquet organized by Isabella III while still wearing a bandage.

Facing her savior, Isabella III had no airs of a king at all. At an advanced age, he stood at the door of the banquet hall and greeted everyone at dawn, leaning on a cane.

"I am Isabella," Isabella III enthusiastically took Profik's hand and introduced, "This is my daughter Alice...ah, you should have known each other for a long time!"

Last night, time was in a hurry. Although Profic and others arrived at Isabella III at night, they had not yet formally introduced each other. However, the situation of Princess Alice is different. Several people have already met at Ebinski Port. It is indeed unnecessary to introduce them at this time.

At dawn, everyone was present except for Fuentes, who was still coming. On the Kingdom of Vera side, those attending the banquet included King Isabella III, Princess Alice, and Ebin among them. Lisefine, Mayor of Skyport.

As a rare kind-hearted and friendly king in the Kingdom of Vera, and not a king who came to power through a coup, Isabella III adopted a more easy-going and people-friendly style. Therefore, there were not so many rules at the banquet. Probably Isabella III and Princess Alice said some words of thanks respectively, and then everyone started eating.

During this period, Alice even performed a talent show. She was good at sword dancing, and even though she was a princess, she didn't mind performing for everyone.

I have to admit that even though she is still injured, Princess Alice's sword dance is indeed good. Her swordsmanship combines speed and flexibility, and is also sharp enough to kill enemies in battle.

The only regret was that Alice's sword dance ended shortly after her injury had not healed.

After the banquet started for a while, Profik quietly asked Alice, who was sitting next to him: "Princess Alice, the captain of the kingdom's army, why didn't you show up here?"

Alice was obviously surprised when she heard Profik ask about the army commander.

Profic and Araki were not familiar with each other at all. Even last night, they only met briefly and didn't even have any communication. This was also supported by Profik's question. He did not even call Araki's name.

However, she was surprised, and Alice answered honestly: "You are talking about Mr. Araki, right now. He is currently leading the kingdom's army to quell the rebels who refused to surrender, and at the same time, he took over the towns originally controlled by the rebels."

Isabella III also continued her usual benevolent style in dealing with the rebels, giving them enough opportunities. As long as they chose to surrender, they could forget the past.

When Araki was mentioned, Princess Vera's face was obviously blushing.

Profik nodded, his guess had been confirmed.

When he saw the army commander of the Kingdom of Vera last night, Profic almost jumped in shock. Without it, this person is too similar to the future admiral "Green Bull" Araki. Apart from being a little younger, not having any tattoos on his chest, and having a slightly different hairstyle, he could almost be identified as the same person.

Now it seems that this person is indeed the Green Bull. Combined with the situation of the Kingdom of Vera, it may be possible to make such a bold inference - in the timeline when Profic and others did not come to Vera, the combination of Richardo and Tepruto successfully usurped the kingdom of Vera. To take the throne of the Kingdom of La, Princess Alice encounters an unexpected incident. Therefore, Araki left the words "Death River Heart" on his body and formed his own "desperate justice".

Perhaps, there is a "deeply touching" story hidden behind the future admiral.
