Pirates of the Holy Light Sword

Chapter 164 Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-old sand
In the eyes of Vivi and Cobra, the long journey to Marie Gioia on the "Holy Light" was still a bit short.

Cobra now felt that he followed his daughter's wish and invited Wright to guard his kingdom's mission, which was really the right thing to do.

Along the way, Wright chatted with Cobra and Weiwei happily, and answered the questions Weiwei asked one by one—not only the national livelihood, but even many anecdotes about the sea.

Princess Weiwei, who has never been out of the sea, looked at Wright with big eyes full of little stars, obviously she has evolved from "very interested" to "fan girl"...

Although Princess Weiwei is only ten years old, she has already shown a sensible and mature beyond her age in state affairs and foreign affairs.

Although many issues are considered from the perspective of his father Cobra, in fact, this is something that a qualified heir to the kingdom should consider.

When Wright and Princess Weiwei chatted happily, they even resorted to a big killer—the crystal pendant of Lightcast Pointing!
The Lightforge Pointing Crystal was one of the Navy's top secrets until now that ordinary Lightforge crystals were known to the world, so Cobra only thought it was an ordinary Lightforge crystal.

But even so, this is a strategic grade material for the navy, one is a life, even a superpower as strong as Alabasta can't get one!
Weiwei was still young, so she didn't know what such a crystal represented, but she was full of praise for the beauty of the necklace, but Cobra knew it.

Therefore, Cobra saluted Wright with a solemn salute.

"Your Majesty Cobra."

Wright passed Cobra's gift and said in a low voice, "Please take a step to speak."

Cobra's face turned serious, and he told Icarem to take care of Vivi, then walked aside with Wright.

"Lieutenant General Wright, thank you very much for your guidance to Weiwei, and thank you for your many ideas for the people."

Cobra said with emotion: "If you are the king of a country, you will definitely do much better than me!"

Wright shook his head: "I'm still better at fighting..."

"Your Majesty Cobra, please come here, it is related to a discovery of the navy."

"Discovery? About Alabasta?"

Cobra realized the seriousness of the matter—the navy's monitoring of a superpower like Alabasta was not strong, and most of the time it just patrolled the surrounding seas.

But this also shows that once the navy can find the problem, the problem must be a big deal!
"Yes, about the 'Shichibukai' of Alabasta, Sand Crocodile!"

"Crocodile... isn't he from ZF?"

Cobra wondered, in his cognition, Crocodile was the first big pirate to join the Seven Martial Sea, and came to Alabasta in an official capacity.

In recent years, he has been actively fighting against pirates, and his personal image has been established quite well, and his reputation among the people has grown rapidly.

"People from ZF?"

Wright snorted coldly: "Where is Qiwuhai from the ZF? These big pirates don't care about the world's ZF at all, and they can only be recruited by force. When threatened by Qiwuhai's identity and power, they will barely take action."

"Nominally, Qiwuhai is to use pirates to fight pirates, but because of the plundering license, the harm caused by Qiwuhai is even greater than the pirates they attacked."

"Not to mention that some Shichibukai don't bother to fight pirates at all, and only care about their own affairs!"

"And if they want to do some secret things... Qiwuhai's identity is the best protection!"

Hearing this, Cobra's eyes widened: "You mean... Crocodile, it will be bad for Alabasta?!"

"It's more than disadvantageous...he has big plans!"

Wright sighed, naturally he couldn't tell Cobra about Crocodile's target - the ancient weapon "Pluto".

Even things like "stealing the country" cannot be proven at this stage.

"What Crocodile is doing now is completely inconsistent with his usual behavior and habits, and even runs counter to it!"

"Many places where he fights pirates are suspicious - according to intelligence, he controls a criminal group called 'Baroque Studio'!"

"Although it is still unknown, these pirates attacked by him have more or less the shadow of this criminal organization behind them."

"It's almost like an arrangement, sending these pirates over to increase his prestige!"

Seeing Cobra's uncertain complexion, Wright hesitated for a moment, and said a piece of information that shocked Cobra.

"Crocodile is an ability user of the natural system, Rusha Fruit."

"What the natural department is best at is changing the environment on a large scale - Crocodile is no exception, and the desert in Alabasta is simply his home field!"

"His ability can drain the water of objects and turn them into deserts, that is to say, he has the ability to create drought!"

"If inland cities like Aluma and Juba lose their rainwater..."

"impossible!"

Cobra growled, and his face became ugly: "For thousands of years in Alabasta, there has never been a large-scale drought and less rain. Crocodile is just one person. No matter how strong he is, he can't stop the rain!"

"He can't do it alone."

Wright said coldly: "How about 'dancing fan'?"

"what!"

Cobra's pupils tightened: "This contraband..."

"Using the identity of 'Qiwuhai', this is not a problem."

Wright rested his arms on the side of the ship, looking at the sea with both eyes:
"Dancing powder's ability to change the precipitation area, combined with the ability of the rustling fruit, Crocodile is fully capable of concentrating rainfall in one place to create a major drought in other places that counts every year!"

"At that time, he, who has been faintly called a 'national hero' for his fight against pirates, will be able to compete with you in terms of prestige!"

"What do you think will happen if, at this time, there is an increase in rainfall in the palace area, or something else, that the dancing powder problem 'just happens' to be related to the royal family?"

"This..." Cobra said with difficulty, "This is just your guess..."

"That's right. This is what I deduce based on the existing conditions."

"So, this time I tell you this, just to remind you."

"If Crocodile is really unfortunate enough to be caught by my words, and his plan is indeed the case, then there will definitely be several signs in the next few years!"

"sign……"

"That's right. First, inland cities like Aluma and Yuba don't rain for a long time. On the contrary, cities where the royal family is stationed like the royal capital will have more rainfall."

"Second, Crocodile's reputation continues to rise, and it is indistinctly competing with the royal family."

"Third, Baroque studios have started frequent activities, instigating national rebellion!"

"When these three points are all achieved, unfortunately, Crocodile's plan has been guessed by me!"

Cobra was sweating profusely and remained silent for a long time.

"Lieutenant General Wright."

"I will call on inland cities to store water. For cities like Aluma and Yuba, if they store water carefully, they can last for a long time even if it doesn't rain!"

"And if the other two signs appear—if Crocodile really has a problem, the Kingdom Army composed of ordinary people will have nothing to do with him!"

"No problem, you can contact me directly, and I will solve him."

"The rest, you can handle it yourself."

"Then, if there is a day... please!"
