Chapter 132 Neferutali, This is an Inevitable War
Shakespeare's fervent and dramatic proposal stirred ripples throughout the hall.
Help the Red Team spread the stories of their fallen heroes?
This goodwill from the Black Master seemed so abrupt and strange.
"Doflamingo," Sabo spoke first, his eyes sharp. "If I remember correctly, you should have already lost your eligibility for the Holy Grail War. Why do you still retain your Heroic Spirit status?"
"To even offer to help us? That's just too illogical."
Napoleon Lingki, standing beside him, also gripped his newly acquired Emperor's Pistol, his eyes wary.
Hawkeye Mihawk's cold gaze swept over Doflamingo.
"The help from the sea hooligans always comes at a high price. State your true purpose."
Although Shanks still had a slight smile on his face, his hand was already on Griffin's sword hilt.
A terrifying aura of Conqueror's Haki emanated from him, carrying a scrutinizing pressure.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Doflamingo shrugged with a wicked smile.
"Fufufufu—qualification? Is that something that, once lost, can't be regained?"
"As for Caster—he was indeed an additional Servant I summoned, independent of the Holy Grail system. After all, you always have to have a backup plan, don't you?"
His words were half true and half false, cleverly avoiding the possibility that he might regain some degree of participation through certain means.
Merlin's insightful eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something.
That insightful gaze, seemingly discerning, subtly turned to where Kaido was.
He whispered to Roger and Shanks beside him.
"He might have some way to influence that beast remotely—forcibly keeping him here is quite risky."
"Why don't we listen to what he's trying to do first, or let him leave?"
Doflamingo seemed to have seen through Merlin's thoughts, and his smile became even more smug.
"Fuch, that's a wise decision. But since we dared to come, we've naturally made all the necessary preparations."
"Whether you stay or leave, it doesn't matter to us. We just really want to help you make the world more chaotic."
"After all, spreading heroic epics is very important to you, isn't it?"
He guessed that the Red Team wanted to expand its influence and win over the hearts and minds of the people. Therefore, he immediately and accurately grasped this.
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Weiwei, whose face was pale.
It was as if a viper had found its prey and dropped a bombshell.
"Before I leave, here's a free piece of information."
Now that these words have been spoken, Saab, Napoleon, and others have become interested.
"Where did you get your information? It should have been only yesterday that a large number of external forces entered the country."
Doflamingo sneered, "Chief of Staff, don't underestimate me. My informants are all over the underworld."
"This morning, our informants in the capital sent us a message."
"Our esteemed King Cobra of Alabasta has ordered the assembling of the kingdom's main army, which will soon be advancing on our borders to quell the rebellion in the southeast. Fufufufu!"
This news came like a bolt from the blue. Although Napoleon had anticipated the actions of the Kingdom's army, he was still heavy-hearted when he heard it. After all, if this was the case, the country would definitely be divided.
The person most affected by this news was undoubtedly their ally, Vivi.
"No, it's impossible!" Weiwei exclaimed in shock, her delicate body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief and pain.
"My father would never give such an order! He wouldn't start a civil war!"
"He must have been coerced by Crocodile! We can negotiate! We can find a way to awaken Father! War, war, so many people will die!"
Her voice was choked with sobs, still retaining a sliver of innocence and fantasy.
She still stubbornly believes that the core of this Holy Grail War is her ritual of risking her life to secure a future for the country.
She was not yet fully aware that with the arrival of Heroic Spirits, the involvement of the Sea Emperors, and the World Government's covetous gaze, things were already underway.
Alabasta is no longer a chessboard, but has become a brutal battlefield.
Every single person in this country has become a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time in the power struggle between the Red and Black factions, and even between pirates and the World Government.
Doflamingo watched with amusement as Vivi wavered and suffered, and burst into laughter.
"Fuck! Fuck! So childish! So childish, little princess!"
"This world is a dog-eat-dog world! Weakness itself is the original sin! Don't want to be used as a pawn? Then become strong enough!"
"Otherwise, we can only watch helplessly as everything we care about is crushed, just like we are now! That's reality!"
His words were like cold knives, piercing Vivi's heart.
Ramses II snorted coldly, and his powerful divine might pressed down on Doflamingo.
"You noisy mortal, do you really think your narrow-minded understanding can comprehend the laws of the world? You talk too much! Get out of my temple!"
Ramses II issued an order to expel them.
The other members of the Red Team, such as Shanks and Roger, also fell silent as they watched Vivi's pained expression.
They have experienced too much and know the cruelty of reality, but they also understand the weight and difficulty of a young girl bearing the fate of the nation.
At this moment, any words of comfort seem inadequate.
Doflamingo grinned wickedly, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty! To be honest, I am also a king of a country, and your diplomacy makes me very afraid."
"My country won't turn into the Hatti, will it? Then I'd better take my leave! Fufufufu!"
After saying this, he bowed slightly to Shakespeare in a rather flamboyant manner, then turned and swaggered away from the temple without anyone stopping him.
A brief silence fell over the hall, broken only by Weiwei's suppressed sobs.
Seeing her like this, Luffy noticed that her usual carefree attitude had completely vanished, leaving only a deep seriousness.
Roger and Shanks were like him; Hawkeye was a man of few words, and Kojiro didn't know what to say.
Therefore, they all stood aside and waited silently.
Merlin looked up at the throne before him, knowing full well the immense pressure and responsibility that would be borne by the person sitting on it.
This responsibility is something that Vivi, as a princess, must bear.
Ramses II stepped down from his throne and approached Vivi.
He reached out and shielded Weiwei behind him, as if he didn't want others to see her like this.
Ramses II addressed the crowd: "My allies, go back and rest. The one with the mission, repeat it again."
"Court Magician and Son of the Sun, you must complete what I just said as soon as possible."
"Sabo and the artillery, gather and train the rebels; the Pharaoh's army is in your hands!"
"Straw Hat, I've already sent men to the west to meet your remaining crew and the father of the Berserker Master. You and the Pirate King should go and provide support." Just then, Bonney, accompanied by Heracles, chimed in, "Bonney's going too!"
After a few words, the matter was resolved.
After all his allies silently left the Great Temple, Ramses II looked at the young woman who shared the same name as his beloved wife.
She is not just a young girl; she is a princess from a country that also suffers from sandstorms and scorching heat.
The arrogance of the two men in their golden eyes had diminished, replaced by a subtle hint of expectation.
"Weiwei." His voice was steady and strong, breaking the silence.
Weiwei raised her head, looking at him with teary eyes, her gaze filled with dependence and confusion, just as when she first addressed him as Your Majesty and placed all her hopes on him.
"Raise your head," Ramses II commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument.
This was a tone he had never used before.
"And let me ask you this: from the moment you summoned me, you honored me as Your Majesty, entrusting your life and the fate of your nation entirely to my hands. Is that not true?"
Weiwei nodded subconsciously.
"Foolish!" Ramses II's voice suddenly turned stern.
"How frivolous! How irresponsible!"
Weiwei was stunned by the sudden rebuke and stared blankly at him.
"You are the princess of a nation! The hope of the future! On your shoulders rests the fate of all Alabasta and the future of its people!"
"How can such a heavy burden be so easily handed over to others because of difficulties and fear?!"
"Even if I were a Heroic Spirit! Your Servant! The Incarnation of the Sun God! I would never do this!"
Ramses II's gaze was as intense as the sun, fixed on Vivi's soul.
"The way of the king lies in taking responsibility, making choices, and leading! Not in dependence or entrustment!"
Weiwei's eyes trembled violently. She knew that His Majesty was right, but she was too kind to admit it.
Ramses II's tone calmed down, and he pulled Vivi to the throne and made her sit down.
"Kindness is good, just like my Faye Wong, but you need to grow! You must grow into a true king, worthy of such a heavy responsibility!"
He gestured towards the land outside the temple, shrouded in the rainforest of the Age of Gods and the shadow of war.
"Look at your country! Look at your people!"
"Excessive kindness and naive illusions, in the face of cruel reality, will only bring deeper pain and more tragic sacrifices! This is an eternal truth!"
"Peace is never something that can be begged for, but rather something that must be seized and maintained through powerful force and unwavering will!"
Lara's words struck Weiwei's heart like a hammer, shattering her last shred of hope and naivety.
But it also ignited the sense of responsibility and courage deep within her that had been hidden by dependence and fear.
As she looked into Ramses II's majestic yet hopeful eyes, the confusion and tears in her own eyes were gradually replaced by a new light.
That is a clear understanding of one's own responsibilities and a firm determination to no longer evade them.
Yes, she can't rely on Heroic Spirits or others forever.
Alabasta must be saved by the people who live on this land, by her, the princess!
Ramses II noticed the change in her eyes and nodded slightly.
"Remember, I have not abandoned you. I am your follower, my light and your strength exist for you."
"But ultimately, you must choose your own path."
"Weiwei, you share the same name as my beloved concubine. My expectations for you far surpass those for ordinary people!"
Weiwei took a deep breath and forcefully wiped away the tears on her face.
When she looked at Ramses II again, her eyes had become incredibly firm and clear, a result of growth after a painful transformation.
She turned around, her gaze slowly sweeping over the magnificent temple, looking towards the direction controlled by the kingdom's army in the distance.
Ultimately, the burden fell upon the countless disaster victims beneath the Great God's throne, their faces etched with worry as they struggled to survive.
For them, for this country, if the prayer for peace cannot be conveyed, if war cannot be avoided, then Vivi clenched her fists, her voice still trembling slightly, but filled with an undeniable determination.
"If war is the only way to end everything, then let's go to war!"
