Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

Albana,

It is one of the only two oases left in Alabasta.

However, there is no joyous atmosphere in Albana now. The king uses dancing powder to absorb the vitality of all the surrounding cities to nourish the royal capital. The civilians here are swallowed up by a huge sense of guilt, and the entire city exudes a lifeless smell. .

At six o'clock in the morning, screams outside the city gate broke the peace of the city.

"Ouch - stop, stop, stop!"

Usopp's body was hung on the side of the running duck, with only the whites of his eyes left, and foam kept coming from his mouth.

Weiwei walked in the front, raised her hand to wipe her sweat, and looked at the city wall in front of her with bright eyes.

"Finally back, Albana!"

The Running Duck Troop followed Karu's footsteps and stopped behind Vivi. Usopp rolled his eyes and fainted.

Chopper immediately lay on top of Usopp: "Hey - the heartbeat has stopped!"

Nami shook Usopp's body worriedly: "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Usopp weakly raised his little finger and struggled to spit out two words from his throat: "Something's wrong."

"Great, Usopp is awake." Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head.

"It seems to be all right."

Nami put her hands on her hips and stood next to Weiwei: "Did Maruko tell you what we were doing in the capital?"

Weiwei shook her head: "Maybe Luffy-san and Maruko-chan have arrived."

"Let's go to the palace first and let everyone have a good rest. I'll go find the King's Army and help find their location."

Everyone only stayed briefly outside the city gate, and then hurried back to the palace.

An hour later, four more tired people stopped outside the gate of Albana.

Wanzi looked up at the white city wall in front of him that still stood tall despite its heavy historical traces, and couldn't help but express his sincere admiration.

"Only here can I feel this ancient civilization that has been inherited for more than 800 years."

Robin was surprised for a moment: "This is the first time I've seen someone care about these things."

Robin explained to Wanzi in a good mood.

"More than 20 years ago, the Celestial Dragons who established the World Government originally had families, one of which was the Naferutari family. However, their ancestors separated from the Celestial Dragons from the beginning and lived alone in Alaba. Stan builds a new kingdom."

"The Naferutali family has always governed the country with benevolence, and it is also the country that has been inherited for the longest time. The customs and architectural styles here are things that have been passed down for a long time."

"Unfortunately, no one seems to care about this now."

Wanzi shook his head with a smile and gently touched the city wall in front of him, feeling the mottled lines on it.

"Human beings live in groups, and each small home gradually becomes a country for everyone. Countries rise and fall, either completely disappearing in the long river of history, or being recorded and praised by future generations. Only these ruins record the past years and condense the How could no one care about human civilization and wisdom in ancient times?”

"This is the first time I've heard such an interesting statement."

Nico Robin lowered his head and thought.

"I once pursued history, just to get a glimpse of the truth of history. I didn't expect that I could still understand this. Is this a lesson from history?"

"Know where you come from and where you are going. Human development is a spiral process, and we can learn a lot from the rise and fall of history."

There was a trace of nostalgia on Wanzi's face: "My hometown is an ancient civilization that has been inherited for more than five thousand years. The historical records alone are vast. It has fallen into troughs before, but it has risen bravely every time, because in In the face of the times, she always has a learning attitude."

"Five thousand?!"

Luffy, Sabo and Robin all showed surprised expressions. The history of this world ended eight hundred years ago. It is hard to imagine how prosperous a country that has lasted for more than five thousand years must be.

Maruko nodded proudly.

"To put it briefly, Luffy failed in the last duel with Crocodile because he failed to hit Crocodile's entity with water, so next time Luffy learns from experience, he will definitely bring water with him."

"In the long run, the root cause of Alabasta's crisis is that it does not have high-end combat capabilities. The only people who can be interested in the historical text are pirates who have both ambition and strength. Alabasta does not have the strength to deal with it, so sooner or later, There will be this crisis.”

"Just like the revolutionary army, if you want to overthrow the world government, you must have high-end combat power that can compete with it, and a righteous ideological program recognized by the public. Both are indispensable."

"These are lessons learned from history."

Maruko said casually, pretending not to see the thoughtful expressions of Nico Robin and Sabo, and immediately changed the subject.

Just kidding, one of these two is the number one enemy of the World Government, and the other is the most wanted criminal of the World Government. What if they misunderstand that they are powerful!

Although standing in the five thousand years of history, Wanzi occasionally has some high-level opinions, but there is absolutely no way for her to have such high political literacy as the big guys. Her only talent is writing. The novel is up!

Wanzi's eyes were wandering and he changed the topic abruptly: "Weiwei and the others are close, maybe they have already arrived. Let's go find them quickly!"

Teacher Sanse is right. Although we are valued by the world government, they have not allocated much energy to deal with us, so they should not take us seriously!

It seems that we need to discuss it with the leader. Not only should we take it as our duty to rescue the people oppressed by the Tianlong people, but we should also put out slogans that will make the revolutionary army deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We should also pay attention to the infiltration of high-level leaders of the world government!

Worthy of being a three-color teacher! Sabo looked at Maruko's back with a hint of heat, "Teacher Sanse, from now on, you will be our friend of the revolution!"

I didn’t expect that a girl under the age of sixteen could put forward such a profound point of view. Is this the cultural heritage of five thousand years of history?

Speaking of which, when I face my former collaborators, including Crocodile, I always feel that I am a little smarter than them all. Is this the benefit of reading more?

It seems that I will read more books in the future and make it my lifelong mission to find the historical truth of the "Blank Hundred Years"!

Worthy of being a three-color teacher! Robin looked at Maruko's back with full approval, "Teacher Sanse, from now on, you will be my lifelong confidant!"

The two hot eyes behind him were about to melt Wanzi, and layers of sweat broke out on Wanzi's head.

Looking at Luffy, who was so bored that he was pulling weeds on the wall, he suddenly felt moved. It would be better to be stupid, because if you are stupid, you won't think so much.

Maruko's eyes were full of love, "Luffy, even if you haven't read my book, I declare that from now on, you will be my number one reader!"

Can I still duel with Crocodile? That's great. I was defeated by him last time. I must beat him this time!

Four people strode into Albana with four different thoughts.

-------------------------------------

The palace, the drawing room.

Luffy and Sabo sat on the left, and Vivi and Cobra sat on the right.

Kobra seems to be a very approachable person. If you didn't know his identity as king and met him by chance on the road, you would definitely think that he was an elegant and easy-going middle-aged uncle.

Cobra's attitude was very good, he didn't have the airs of a king at all, and he spoke first.

"Mr. Luffy, your partner has been properly treated at the palace. I have heard everything from Weiwei. Thank you very much for your help to Weiwei. You are the biggest contributors to saving Alabasta!"

After Cobra finished speaking, he stood up and bowed solemnly to Luffy.

Luffy waved his hand casually, not paying attention at all.

"You're welcome, Weiwei is also our partner, we are just fighting for our partners!"

"This is such a noble moral integrity. I thought pirates were all hypocritical and cunning people like Crocodile. But now it seems that I still saw it too one-sidedly."

Kobra sighed softly, while Bell and Jackal stood behind him and nodded in agreement.

Sabo spoke at the right time: "Your Majesty the King, in fact, we have another unwelcome request."

Cobra laughed boldly: "Don't be polite to me. You are the heroes of Alabasta. As long as I can do it, you can mention it as you like."

Luffy said directly: "We want to read the historical text!"

"what?!"

Kobra's expression was a little stiff, and he asked with an awkward smile: "How do you know."

Sabo calmly explained: "Please don't misunderstand."

"To be honest, Crocodile's ultimate goal is for the historical text. It is said that the historical text of Alabasta contains news about Pluto."

"Krokdal has been in Alabasta for many years. You must have some understanding of his character. Although we defeated him outside Yuba, his character will not give up until he achieves his goal."

"To truly eliminate this threat, we need to allow Crocodile to see the text of history firsthand."

"However, we swear on our lives that regardless of whether the information recorded in the historical text is the news about Pluto, we will make him a real piece of history and will never harm anyone."

Weiwei heard this news for the first time, and curiously turned to Kobra and asked: "Father, does our country have a historical text?"

Kobra sighed and nodded silently.

"The historical text of Alabasta has existed since the founding of the country and has been preserved by successive kings. I didn't expect that Crocodile would know about it."

"I never doubted Crocodile. I just thought that Alabasta should not have what the Shichibukai wanted. It turned out to be this."

Weiwei hugged Kobra's arm and expressed her position: "Krokdal not only made the royal family lose the support of the people, but also instigated hatred between the king's army and the rebel army. Without everyone's help this time, Alabasta will lose a lot of money." Innocent blood.”

"Father, I believe in Luffy and everyone else! The text of history is just a dead thing, far less than the lives of citizens!"

Cobra didn't think for long, and soon showed a relieved smile.

"Weiwei can trust you without hesitation, so I am willing to trust you too."

"And Weiwei is right. The historical text has been buried in the royal tomb, and it is just a dead object. As the king of Alabasta, I don't want any more people to lose their lives for this."

"I am willing to take you to see the historical text!"
