During the Bounty Hunter duo's chopstick dance performance, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly changed.
The previous formal atmosphere vanished completely, replaced by a lively and cheerful air.
Cobra and the others were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at this exotic performance from the East Blue.
However, one minister finally couldn't stand it any longer.
"Rude! Vulgar!"
The minister's brow furrowed deeply as he spoke directly to Cobra:
"Your Majesty, I really can't stand it anymore. What kind of intangible cultural heritage is this?"
He pointed a finger at the laughing crowd beside him and angrily rebuked:
"It's true that Sig saved Rainbase City, but a bandit is still a bandit, and he can't be considered elegant."
"You're right, this is indeed inappropriate."
Cobra nodded slightly.
But at this mont, he suddenly heard a clear, silver bell-like laughter.
Cobra's expression shifted slightly as he looked up.
Vivi had slipped out at so point and was now standing at the edge of the crowd, happily watching the Bounty Hunter duo's chopstick dance.
"Vivi..."
Cobra was stunned for a mont, then fell into deep thought.
"A dance that can bring joy?"
"Although the form of the dance is beyond my expectations, they do seem to be very happy."
Cobra's eyes lit up slightly as he murmured.
His gaze moved from the bandits to a pair of chopsticks on the dining table.
"Your Majesty?"
The minister's eyes widened; he had a bad feeling.
He saw Cobra unexpectedly grab two chopsticks and stick them up his nostrils...
"This... this is unacceptable! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
As the ministers stared in disbelief, Cobra stood up with two chopsticks sticking out of his nose.
"Vivi, look at ..."
Cobra, completely disregarding his image, walked up to Vivi and made a funny face.
"Pfft---"
This ti, it was Sig's turn to burst out laughing.
He was still admiring his own cleverness and wit when he inadvertently saw this scene.
At the sa ti, the number on the mission panel changed from 2/15 to 3/15.
"Cobra, he...."
Sig was also shocked.
But on second thought, Cobra wasn't exactly a serious person.
This seemingly serious little old man had once led the Straw Hat crew on a raid of the won's bathhouse, only to be defeated by the big boss Nami's AOE ultimate move, "Happiness Punch," leaving them with critical health and leading to a team wipe.
The key was that his own daughter, Vivi, was also in the bathhouse at the ti.
"What an extraordinary king..."
Sig's eyes lit up. He chuckled, grabbed a handful of chopsticks from the table, and approached Cobra.
"King Cobra, you truly are a unique king."
"But, as a king, isn't it inappropriate to behave like this in front of your ministers?"
As Sig spoke, he placed the handful of chopsticks in Cobra's hand and gestured for Cobra to look up.
Cobra followed Sig's gaze and saw his ministers, Igaram, Pell, and others, all looking at him with strange expressions.
Only then did Cobra finally realize his gaffe.
He coughed lightly, took the chopsticks out of his nostrils, and was about to say sothing when he felt the handful of chopsticks Sig had placed in his hand...
After a puzzled look at Sig, Cobra imdiately understood.
That's right...
He, the king, had lost his composure, so as long as he brought everyone else down to his level, wouldn't this awkwardness be completely resolved?
He regained his serious expression, looked at the ministers on the other side of the banquet, and said solemnly:
"The chopstick dance that Sig brought is indeed a dance that can bring joy."
"This joy can only be experienced by those who participate personally."
"Igaram, Pell, Chaka...."
Cobra called out na after na, then waved the handful of chopsticks in his hand.
"Co and get your chopsticks."
"This...."
Igaram and the others looked at each other, hesitating for a long ti, but finally accepted the chopsticks with strange expressions.
No matter how absurd Cobra was, he was still their king, a king with considerable prestige.
Disobeying the king's orders in front of guests was sothing they couldn't do...
Thus, Igaram and the others, with expressions of resignation, slowly inserted the chopsticks into their nostrils....
From this mont on.
This formal banquet held in the royal palace gradually turned into so kind of strange carnival.
Mission completion 1, 2, 3.....
Sig looked at the jumping numbers on the mission panel and felt very satisfied.
Moreover, this was only the beginning...
With the spread of the chopstick dance, plot characters in other cities and regions of Alabasta might also fall victim.
Perhaps he could easily and happily obtain the mission reward card.
Wonderful!
........
After the banquet.
King Cobra returned to the main hall and examined himself in the full-length mirror.
To be precise, Cobra wasn't looking at his face, but at his nostrils.
"Why do I feel like my nostrils have gotten a little bigger... Could it be that they were stretched by the chopsticks?"
Cobra murmured to himself.
Turning his attention away from his nostrils, Cobra sat down at the table and began to draft an order.
He had already promised Sig to help promote the chopstick dance, so naturally, he had to do sothing.
"The na 'Chopstick Dance'... still feels inappropriate."
"Why not change the na to... Hero's Dance, a dance to commorate the hero of Rainbase City."
Cobra said to himself.
Sig's identity, and the fact that he had co to the capital, Alubarna, naturally couldn't be revealed.
Using the na Hero's Dance could serve as a hint.
.......
A few days later, in Rainbase City.
The mayor of Rainbase City looked in a daze at the pair of chopsticks the ssenger had handed him.
"His Majesty Cobra, he specifically sent a ssenger from Alubarna to deliver a pair of chopsticks to ? What does this an?"
The mayor of Rainbase pondered for a mont, his face gradually turning pale.
"I heard that a certain king granted death to his ministers by giving them a piece of white cloth, implying that they should hang themselves..."
"Then these chopsticks now... Is this another way of granting death?"
The mayor tremblingly accepted the chopsticks, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, his face filled with fear and anger.
"Tyrant! What a tyrant..."
The mayor murmured.
But then, he saw the ssenger slowly take out a written order.
"Hmm? This is related to the hero Sig? It's a Hero's Dance to commorate him?"
"Then it's all right."
