Pirates of the Void Swordsman

Where there is drought, there will naturally be rain.

Albana, the capital of Alabasta and the seat of the royal palace.

call! ——

After a gust of wind, the sky darkened instantly, and the white clouds turned into blue-gray. ?

The originally clear sky turned into a huge black curtain, covering the entire sky. The dazzling sunlight disappeared without a trace, and the clouds in the sky became lower and lower.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

In the blink of an eye, huge raindrops fell. They were very sparse at first, and then became more and more dense.

The trees stood upright in the wind and rain, welcoming the rain. The leaves were crackling, and the grass under the trees was beaten here and there.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops splashed on the ground, and a thin layer of water mist spread on the ground, making the scenery outside the window hazy.

Rain is really like a beautiful picture.

"Hahaha, great, great..."

"It's raining, it's starting to rain again!"

"It's a miracle, when everywhere is dry, it rains all the time in Albana!"

"His Majesty Cobra is indeed the best king. Even God is loving Albana, hahaha!!"

"Long live His Majesty the King! Long live His Majesty the King!!"

All the residents of Albana ran outside excitedly and soaked in the rain falling from the sky.

There are even many people who have prepared tools to catch some rainwater and store it for later use.

They were happy from the bottom of their hearts, and the rain always fell in Albana, which showed that even God recognized His Majesty the King.

Recognize Kobra as a good king who is kind and loves his people.

Unlike the drought and lack of rain in all other areas, Albana seems to have been favored by God for more than a year, with constant rain.

And this scene was hailed as a miracle by all the citizens of Alabasta! !

at the same time,

There are many tall buildings and a magnificent palace with a history of 4000 years.

A strong middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman were standing on the balcony, quietly looking at the rain outside.

Being able to be so casual in the palace undoubtedly shows the dignity of their status.

"It's raining again. The people of Albana must be very happy! It would be great if... all over the country it could rain like it does now."

"That way, there will be no drought, and the lives of the people will be much better..."

The strong middle-aged man sighed slightly.

He is a man with wrinkles on his face.

He has long curly black hair and a beard.

Wearing a nomadic-style brown outfit.

He is the king of Alabasta, Neferutali Kobra. He has high prestige among the people and is known as the wise king.

Even though it didn't rain for more than a year and countless people died due to the drought, the people didn't have any resentment towards Kobra.

Because Kobra is really a good king, he can share the joys and sorrows with the common people.

"Father King"

Listening to Kobra's words, the beautiful young woman spoke softly:

"Rain will fall across the country, and Alabasta will definitely get better again. We and the people will get through this difficulty!"

Her voice is pleasant, with a touch of gentleness, which makes people feel comfortable.

She has a graceful figure, wearing a pink princess dress and a pair of blue wedges.

She has long, aqua-blue wavy hair hanging behind her back, with two strands of hair that are longer than her shoulders hanging on both sides of her forehead.

There is a smile on the beautiful face, very beautiful.

The princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi, is also Kosa's childhood sweetheart.

"You're right, Weiwei is always so considerate..."

A heartfelt smile appeared on Kobra's lips.

Rain is always a happy thing.

He also believed that God would not abandon Alabasta and that one day rain would fall across the country.

By then, all problems will be solved.

The drought will disappear, the rebel army will automatically disband, the country will no longer have civil strife, and everything will return to peace.

"Haha, a miracle? Stop joking..."

On a sailboat with the logo of the Baroque Working Society, a bald monk crossed his arms and grinned with a sneer. Mr. 1 Daz Bonis, a senior cadre of the Baroque Working Society.

"Soon, you will pay the price for your naive ideas, Kobra..."

The location of Daz Bonis is just above the Sundora River, which is also the upper reaches of Albana.

On the sailboat he was on, more than a dozen people dressed as secret agents were busy.

"quick!"

"Move faster!"

With shouts, bags of green powder were thrown into the blazing flames by more than a dozen people.

Immediately afterwards, green smoke slowly rose from the sailboat, rushing into the sky like smoke from a thousand miles away.

After the smoke rushed into the sky, a strange scene immediately appeared.

Black clouds appeared out of thin air in the originally clear sky.

And these clouds move with the wind, and the direction they float away is Albana! !

The stuff they lit was called dancing powder.

This is an incredible powder, also known as "the powder that calls for rain". It looks like a green powder.

This was invented a long time ago in a country where it doesn't rain. After it is lit, it can produce mist-like smoke floating in the air, producing so-called "artificial rainfall."

The origin of the name is the hope that people will dance happily to celebrate the rain.

Although dancing powder can cause rainfall, it has very serious shortcomings.

That is, once this powder is used, drought will occur in places that live downwind.

To put it simply, it means forcibly snatching rainwater from other areas for your own use. If too much is used, the country will fall into a long-term drought and it will never rain again, which is very harmful.

There was once a country that used dancing powder, which caused a drought in another country. As a result, the two countries broke out into war, resulting in heavy casualties.

At this point, dancing powder has been classified as a contraband by the World Government, and the production and possession of this powder has been banned. Violators will be arrested as criminals.

But now, some people are secretly using dancing powder, which shows how huge the power of Baroque Works is secretly.

Even if it is contraband of the World Government, they can still buy, sell and use it at will.

Moreover, the act of providing rain for Albana is tantamount to killing the goose to retrieve the eggs. The entire Kingdom of Alabasta will suffer from drought, which is simply killing people invisible.

They actually ignored the desert oases such as Yuba and Elmaru downwind of Alba, and those... shocking drought scenes! !

At this time, in the center of Yuyan, in the basement of a huge casino.

Crocodile reached out and grabbed a frightened pirate and threw him into the pool where pets were kept.

There were more than a dozen huge banana crocodiles wandering in the pool. When they saw food coming in, these crocodiles immediately opened their mouths with ferocious looks and swam over.

"crunch..."

After a crisp sound, scarlet liquid spurted out, dyeing the water surface with a coquettish color.

"Being weak is also a sin. Ordinary people don't even have a way to choose to survive..."

Crocodile calmly walked to the chair and sat down, with no trace of emotion on his face.

He held the cigar in the corner of his mouth and took a puff, hiding himself in the darkness around him.

PS:

This is a pirate who lost money in a casino but couldn't afford it. He wanted to make a big fuss by force, but was easily caught...
