The Great Swordsman of One Piece

Chapter 22 Respective opponents

At the gate of Albana, the capital of the kingdom, the king's army is waiting.They got the news from the captain of the guard, Carter, that there will be a rebel attack today.

The leader is the army captain of the king's army, Galio.He was pacing back and forth on the city gate.Carter has been in hesitation since he rushed back from Yuba yesterday.

"Tell me, if the rebel army really came, who are we helping?" Galio frowned and asked his lieutenant Baker.

"How many times have you met the king in the past six months?" Baker asked a question that he didn't seem to want to do. "What state was he in when he saw the king?"

Galio was lost in thought.In the past six months, he has indeed not seen the king as much as when the old king was in power, but he still meets once a week, as if... It's no different?
"Every time the king sees us, I have a feeling that he hesitates to speak." Baker said. "Also, every time we meet, Lord Birdas is always by the king's side. This kind of thing has never happened before."

"You mean..." Galio understood what Baker meant. "Then shall we intercept the rebel army?"

"The interception should still be intercepted, but it is best not to start a war lightly. Let's talk about it. You are not unfamiliar with Doto, and he must have guessed something." Baker's logic is very clear.

Behind a sand dune not far from the gate of the capital city, everyone jumped off the running duck and gathered together to discuss how to enter the city.

They decided to enter the city pretending to be a business traveler from afar, and then Carpenter and Nuss went to collect healing power, and the three of Bit went to the palace.

Everyone abandoned the running duck and swaggered towards the city gate.

"Who are you! Galio on the city gate shouted and asked.

"They are passing businessmen, and they plan to come here to buy some specialties to take back!" Carpenter shouted from under the city gate. "I am Carpenter of Elmaru! They hired a tour guide!"

"There is going to be a war here! You go elsewhere!" Galio continued to shout from above.He was thinking about the safety of the group.

"What! There's going to be a war!" Bit suddenly yelled, "My good old man, please let us take refuge in the city!"

Just as Galio wanted to refuse, he was grabbed by Baker. "Promise them, that Carpenter has been studying sea water for several months, and he is trustworthy."

Galio nodded, then told the guard to open the door and let the group of people in.

"I didn't expect them to be so easy to deceive!" Roger said with a smile. "You let us in so easily!"

"No, it's not that they are easy to deceive, they did it on purpose," Van Pica said.At this time, his hand unconsciously stroked the long cloth bag in his hand.His sniper rifle is hidden inside.

"Okay, then let's split up. You go to collect donations for healing power, and we go to defeat cp9." Roger walked two steps quickly, turned his head and looked at everyone and said.

"Then you have to be careful!" Nusi said with some worry.CP9, the spy agency under the World Government, looks scary at first glance.

"Be careful too, don't forget that cp9 still has a tavern in the city." Bit also reminded.

At the entrance of the palace, the three of them were a little dazed looking at the unguarded palace.The king's residence doesn't even have a janitor?
Moreover, there is only one breath of life in the palace.They had some ominous premonition.Could it be...

Roger stepped forward first and pushed open the gate of the palace.

A smell of blood rushed to the face, and even the three big-hearted men couldn't help sniffling.The three of them erupted a huge murderous intent almost at the same time, and Roger, who had always been joking, was no exception.

"I've never wanted to kill someone so much as I do today." Roger said as he led the way inside. "This evil world government!"

Everyone walked through the square in front of the palace, and all they could see along the way were dead bodies with severed lives, including the kingdom's guards, attendants, female relatives, ministers, and everyone.Everyone in the palace died tragically under the knife.

When the three of them pushed open the palace gate, a more dignified smell of blood wafted out from inside. "It's an intoxicating taste, isn't it?" A voice sounded in the hall, it was Carter.

Carter sat on the throne, and the two piles of corpses displayed on both sides of the hall belonged to the guards. "I asked them to gather here, and they really gathered here." Carter shook his head and said. "It's so stupid."

Bit ripped off the big robe on his body, revealing the big black knife behind him. "Let's go first Roger, I will take his head off."

He pulled out the big black knife and walked to the opposite of Carter step by step. "I didn't die in the desert, so it's your turn."

Carter jumped off the throne and confronted Bit. "I didn't expect you to be alive. You won't be so lucky this time."

"Where's the king?" Pete asked next.

Carter raised his chin to his left side. "The tombs of the kings in Alabasta. What, your partner can't wait to die?"

"My partner, it's none of your business to worry about it!" Bit shouted, rushed up and swung his knife before slashing.Carter raised his arm to parry Bit's attack.

Roger and Van Picka took advantage of the situation and rushed out, leaving the palace.They have to race against time to rescue the king.

In the small square in front of the mausoleum, Roger, who was walking in front, suddenly had a newborn warning sign, his entire face turned black, and then a shock hit his forehead.

Van Picka behind him also reacted quickly, and fired a shot right after Roger's movement, and a figure collapsed from the grass pile.

"Bildas said that someone might come here, let me block it here, and sure enough someone came."

Jumping out of the grass was a thin and lean man, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a black suit in a neat size.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Beasley, the king's adviser. This is the private cemetery of the Alabasta royal family. Please move to another place." Beasley said politely.No one can connect him with the person who just hit the black gun.

"Can you handle it?" Roger asked in a low voice.Just based on his ability to hide his breath just now, Roger can detect that this person in front of him is not simple.

"Yes." Van Pica replied.Immediately afterwards, a burst of rapid fire hit Beasley.Roger also took advantage of this opportunity and ran over.Not surprisingly, there were only the king and the minister of state Bildas who had heard about it several times in front of him.

Getting closer to the main chamber of the mausoleum, Roger also sensed that powerful aura, that is his opponent.

When Roger followed the breath to find the entrance of the underground palace, Bildas had already walked up.He also carried the dying King Cobra of Alabasta in his hand.

"I know you, Gruta? Roger, a pirate with a bounty of 5000 million." Bildas, who had been lurking in Alabasta for ten years, knew Roger's identity very well.I have to say it was a miracle.

He casually tossed Cobra aside.Roger ignored him.Because he is still alive under the induction of Roger's knowledge and domineering.

"It's been a few days since my bounty came out, how do you know?" Roger asked.

"Ah, the news from the world government said that the legendary hero of the navy, Garp, asked the intelligence department to focus on searching for your traces." Bildas looked a little excited.

"Tell me, what kind of expression Garp will have when he sees your head! Hahahaha!" Bildas laughed wildly.

It was as if Roger was already in his pocket.
