The blood of the pirate

Alabasta is a huge territory, but it cannot compare to the vastness of the sea.

Although Rose and Nami were not fast, they still arrived near the royal capital Albana three days later.

"It's the same as before, I really miss it."

Looking at this desert city that looked particularly mysterious and majestic under the moonlight from a distance, Ross felt a little emotional, but then he began to think about where to live. He soon decided to find a place near the Acropolis outside the city wall. I checked into a hotel and settled down first, planning to have a good sleep and wait until dawn tomorrow before getting down to business.

It was already night when he and Nami came here, and it had to be said that they always walked at night, which was quite unlucky.

He saw no trace of zombies in this area.

According to what I heard from the hotel owner, the corpse tide in the royal capital of Albana, as well as several nearby acropolis, seemed to have been cleaned up by Crocodile, and the people had initially escaped from the fear of the whole day. status and is on the right track to resume daily life.

"Ah, I can finally sleep on the bed, it's so comfortable!" Nami said happily.

She had been camping in the wild with Ross these past few days, and it was really uncomfortable.

"Have a good rest, I will be busy tomorrow." Ross looked out the window and said, "The boss just said that tomorrow Crocodile will lead his troops to launch a final general attack on King Kobra's family who is trapped in the palace, and the entire Kingdom of Alabasta will be destroyed. , completely rescued from this "selfish and cruel fatuous king"."

"What a disgusting trick." Nami was a little disgusted.

"That's true, but this method is indeed the most effective." Ross didn't like it either, but it was undeniable that this method was indeed the most effective.

"That's right. It's great to think about defeating the fatuous old king, letting the people witness your strength, and being crowned king."

"Get some rest, there's a big event tomorrow."

"Hi."

A night of silence.

.............

The next day.

When the east becomes white and the first ray of dawn falls on the earth.

Many people in the Arabana area got up early and gathered spontaneously within the walls of the royal capital.

The reason why they went to the royal capital was simple, they wanted to see with their own eyes that the abominable King Kobra and Moonlight Moria, who had joined forces with him, were brought to justice by Lord Crocodile and executed on the spot.

Almost everyone agreed that after getting rid of the remnants of the king's army trapped in the palace, Lord Crocodile would take over the king's position, and by then, their country would finally have a great wise king to lead them. Turn Shengting Island into a prosperous country again.

But everything is just wishful thinking on their part.

Things won't go as they expected.

Because not only is Rose involved, but the Straw Hat Pirates have now landed in the country.

And at the same time.

Inside the heavily besieged palace, the atmosphere was gloomy and gloomy.

The 12th king of Alabasta, Neferutali Kobra, was standing on the terrace of the castle, looking worriedly at the people gathering in the distance.

He was very tormented in his heart. As a king, he loved his people very much, but because of Crocodile's conspiracy, he was forced to wear the cloak of a tyrant. It was really a pity.

"His Majesty."

The captain of the royal guard, Ikarem, was standing behind Cobra. Seeing that the king's expression was getting more and more ugly, he hesitated for a moment and then softly advised: "How about you consider my suggestion? With the protection of Bell and Gaka, if I stay and break up the rear, I still have a chance to break out of the siege."

Bell and Gaka are both deputy captains of the Alabasta royal family's guard. They are respectively the bird fruit-falcon type ability user of the animal type, and the jackal type ability user of the dog fruit fruit type.

They are die-hard loyalists to the royal family, and they also know how much their king loves his people, but now that the situation has become like this, they have no choice.

Cobra smiled bitterly when he heard Ikarem's words: "It's too late. You are the only ones I can trust in the palace now. Others have betrayed me long ago, and now we have no power to resist."

Hearing this, Ikarem remained silent and his expression became darker.

As the captain of the guard, he naturally knows the current situation in the palace. The king's army, which is the most loyal to the royal family, is no longer the king's army in the past. Under the secret control of Moonlight Moria, many soldiers in the royal city have long been captured. Secretly transformed into a zombie.

Moreover, these zombies are different from the zombies outside who only know how to kill. They are no different from ordinary people and cannot be identified.

Not to mention that Moonlight Moria himself has most likely been hidden in the royal city for a long time. If the other party did not need Kobra to cooperate with Crocodile's performance to stage a drama in which the tyrant was executed on the spot, how could the entire royal family survive safely? By now, they were probably all slaughtered.

"Alas." Kobra sighed and looked down: "It's all my fault that the situation has become like this. I shouldn't have believed in Crocodile's words. He is a pirate after all. Now that all the people have turned against him, the royal family The bloodline is about to be destroyed, and everything is just the consequences of this king’s own fault.”

Hearing this, Ikarem wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

And at this time.

"How can you say that, Father!"

An angry voice suddenly came from behind.

Cobra was slightly startled, turned around and looked around, only to see a beautiful girl with long blue hair appearing on the terrace at some point, gritting her teeth and walking over step by step.

"Weiwei! Why did you come back! Didn't I tell you to go as far away as possible?" Cobra was very shocked and annoyed when he saw his daughter appearing here.

Cobra is really angry now. His daughter didn't listen to him and leave here.

In fact, from Cobra's point of view, his own life and death are irrelevant, but Vivi is different. She is still young and has a bright future. And as long as Vivi lives, their royal family's bloodline will not be cut off. It's fine now. , she is back again, doesn’t this mean that the bloodline of the Nephaluari royal family has come to an end?

"Because I can't just sit back and watch my father sink like this and give up the entire country without doing anything!"

Weiwei ignored Kobra's anger and said righteously: "And I am not coming back to die. In the past few months I have been away, I have met a group of very good friends. They are now in the capital and will come at any time." Support us, and, father, do you still remember Kosha?"

Kobra was stunned when he heard what Vivi said: "You said you brought someone back? And Kosha, are you talking about your childhood playmate? The guy who founded the rebel army before?"
