Pirates: Develop secretly, become a swordsman

"The Navy will not treat you badly. This time you will at least be a colonel for your merits. I guarantee it for you!"

Rosin's combat power, coupled with the Alabasta Navy's planning, and the contribution he made in capturing Blackbeard this time, the colonel said that he was a minor.

Because promotion to the general level involves many things, especially the general level navy of the headquarters, Zefa can't promise Luo Xin many promises that he can't do.

"Thank you very much, Teacher Zefa..."

Rosin now has no idea of ​​turning down the promotion.

It is his wish to change the world. In order to achieve this goal, status and connections are necessary.

"Teacher Zefa, if you recover now, hurry up and head to the capital. No need to ask anything when you get there, just grab the sand crocodile and beat it hard. Remember, the movement must be loud!"

"There's going to be a lot of noise? Is this what you mean?"

"It's just a few well-known buildings and so on. If you don't like any house in the royal capital, when the sand crocodile hits you, you will fall in that direction." Luo Xin was afraid that Zefa didn't understand, so he explained to Zefa again.

"I think the clock tower in the center is pretty good. You pushed it...ahem!!"

Luo Xin became more and more tired as she talked, and finally began to cough violently.

Noqigao kept touching Luo Xin's back with his left hand, making him feel much better.

"You don't need to say it, I know."

Zefa couldn't understand Luo Xin's purpose, but seeing that his current state was not suitable for asking, he nodded in agreement, arranged for Blackbeard, planting trees in the rainland, etc. and headed to the royal capital.

Rosin and the others were resting where they were.

---

On the other side, a few days ago.

After King Kobra blocked the dagger that stabbed Vivi with his body, he was seriously injured and passed out.

The assassin had committed suicide by taking poison, and there were no clues.

Most of the day has passed now.

Cobra finally regained consciousness and was lying on the bed. Standing around him were Princess Vivi, Captain Ikarem of the Kingdom Guard, Peru, who had eaten the Bird Bird Fruit and was known as one of the Kingdom's patron saints, and Chi The Jackal Fruit is also one of the kingdom's patron saints, Gaka, and Princess Vivi's duck Karu.

These people are the most core people in the royal capital.

Everyone was concerned about Kobra's safety.

"Father..." Weiwei's face was full of worry and self-blame.

"It's okay... As long as you're safe, cough!" Kobra just started to say a few words before he coughed weakly.

Ikarem and Peru were very anxious when they saw this, "Your Majesty! Take care of yourself!"

In response, Kobra waved his hands, "My body is not important, the most important thing is the security of the country and the security of the people!"

"Father..." Princess Weiwei was very proud of her father who loved the people so much, but even though the father loved his people so much, he was still destroyed by a man into what he is now!

Deserts cover the land, and the citizens rebel against the kingdom and raise arms against the royal family that has always loved them.

The source of all this tragedy is because of Crocodile Crocodile!

Recalling this scene, Princess Weiwei was filled with hatred and told the king about everything that happened and investigated while lurking in the Baroque Studio!

"Father, I have something important to tell you..."

......

After a long time.

Kobra's eyes were full of shock, but then a killing intent appeared, "So that's it, that's it!"

"My partner Luffy and others' plan is to go straight to the Yellow Dragon and defeat the Sand Crocodile..." Princess Vivi wanted to tell Cobra her plan, but before she could finish her words, Cobra Nod to show understanding.

He shook his head and said, "Although killing the sand crocodile is important, it is not the key. The key is how to stop this war."

"Ikarem, go to the Rain Land, continue to observe the situation of the Sand Crocodile, and deploy 10 people on the only way from the Rain Land to the Royal Capital to prevent anyone from coming to the Royal Capital!"

"Peru, Gaka, you go to the rebels and continue negotiating with them about signing the armistice agreement."

"No matter whose conspiracy it is, the rebels and the royal army must not start a war. Now everyone who comes to the royal capital may become the trigger of the war. Let them sign the armistice agreement before letting them go!"

Kobra's eyes were downcast and he gave orders extremely decisively.

Princess Weiwei wanted to say something, but her father was right. The purpose of preventing the Sand Crocodile from coming to the capital was the same as killing the Sand Crocodile, which was to stop the war.

Although she was leaning toward the second option, there was nothing wrong with being conservative these days.

"Weiwei, you are tired these days. Go and rest with your friends first. Father's injury is nothing. The armistice agreement will be signed tomorrow, and the sand crocodile will be easy to deal with."

"Good father."

Princess Weiwei nodded. Although she wanted to be with her father very much now, her father was not in a good condition and needed to rest.

......

Soon

Princess Vivi and others have left Cobra's bedroom.

Now he was the only one left in the bedroom.

He calmly stood up from the bed and touched his face with his left hand. Kobra's original face turned into a man's face full of makeup!

It is mr.2 with the imitation fruit.

"Hahahaha!!! What a good daughter of mine, Princess Weiwei~"

The king is fake, the assassin is fake, and the wounds are also fake.

Just hear a click.

A secret door appeared in the king's room.

Sand Crocodile came from inside, and finally there was a smile on his face. In most of the day, he had rushed from the rainy land to the royal capital!

"Well done, mr.2."

"It's all according to your instructions~"

Mr.2 behaved like a princess and showed off the wisdom of the sand crocodile.

The Sand Crocodile just chuckled and looked at the real king Kobra behind the secret door.

"How about it, why don't you tell me the location of "Pluto"? You know, after tomorrow, your favorite people will raise weapons against your army."

The sand crocodile held a cigar in his mouth and looked down at the gorgeously dressed king below.

Since the newspaper was circulated, the situation in Alabasta has changed.

In order to ensure that the plan goes smoothly, when making the deal with Blackbeard, he arranged for Mr. 2 to be replaced with the Kingdom in advance.

Ask him to act like a king and slow down the situation in the capital when he needs time.

So pretending to be injured was also the Sand Crocodile's instruction, in order to buy the Sand Crocodile time to come to the royal capital.

The Sand Crocodile doesn't know who the enemy is or where it is.

So he made a deal with Blackbeard.

Let him help you block your enemies while you go to the royal capital to take charge.

Because he knew that as long as he went to the capital to start planning, the other party would definitely appear.

If the enemy is in the Rain Land, Blackbeard can stop them. If the enemy is in the Royal Capital, then he can solve everything when he returns to the Royal Capital.

This is a situation that cannot be lost!

Cobra's eyes were lost and he could no longer see hope, but he still murmured and sighed:

"Ikarem is the weakest but knows you best to prevent exposure, so you sent him on the road to the rainland to stop the navy. Peru and Gaka are fast and powerful, so you assigned him to the rebel army. Negotiate, are Weiwei and his companions the only ones left in this castle now..."

"Moreover, you also sent a large number of troops to the only road that Rainland must pass through, which not only stopped the navy, but also caused the Kingdom's army to be defeated due to lack of troops in tomorrow's war."

"So that you can successfully ascend to the throne..."

"I have to say that you are very smart. There is a reason why this country has been brought into such disaster by you."

Sand Crocodile didn't appreciate Kobra's compliment, "Stop this useless nonsense, I don't care what the country is like, tell me where "Hades" is, and you can do whatever you want from now on!"

But even if the situation is extremely bad now, Kobra still shakes his head, "Leave aside the fact that I don't know where "Hades" is, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"

"You are so smart but also so cruel!"

"If I don't tell you, it will only destroy my country, but if I tell you, it will destroy the whole world!"

"My ancestors re-established the current government with nineteen other countries for the sake of the people, so what if I, for the sake of the world, died here together with the country!"

Kobra's eyes were full of determination, and he was already determined to die!

A hint of murderous intent flashed on Sand Crocodile's face, "In that case, then die with your people! There will be a huge bomb in the Central Bell Tower tomorrow."

"Everyone within five kilometers of the explosion will die!"

"When the war begins, the ringing of that bell tower will be your country's countdown!"

"I said that I don't know where "Hades" is!" Kobra's eyes were sharp and he looked at Sand Crocodile without giving in at all.

Finally, the sand crocodile walked away.

He knew that Kobra would not give up until he saw the Yellow River, so he could just wait until tomorrow!

"Since I'm already here, there's no need to perform any more. You guys will lure Straw Hat and the others away tonight and kill them, tie up Weiwei, and send them to the rooftop garden of the castle together tomorrow!"

Sand Crocodile specially loudly told Mr. 2 and others about their action plan for tomorrow so that Kobra could hear it.

After that, he locked Kobra in the dark room and led everyone away.

---

In the early morning of Sand Crocodile's second day in the capital, he heard a violent explosion in the direction of Yudi.

The rising sky is dyed red and black, and can be seen even in the royal capital.

"It seems that Blackbeard has already fought with the real person behind him. This posture, Yudi is afraid that it will be gone."

The sand crocodile looked into the distance and murmured.

By now, his subordinates should have taken action.

one night time.

Except for mr.2, each Baroque Studio member has attracted a Straw Hat member.

Now Vivi and Cobra are tied to the top floor of the Royal Capital Castle, watching the fire in the distance with the Sand Crocodile.

"Why don't you tell me, Kobra, Mr. 2 is about to take action, and the war is about to begin."

"My patience has its limits. If you don't tell me, then I will personally ascend the throne of Alabasta according to the original plan, and dig deep into the ground to find the historical text recording the location of "Hades"!"

"Father, don't tell him! Now is not the time to despair, the navy is still helping us!"

Princess Vivi said to the frustrated Kobra next to her that although she didn't know what "Hades" was, she knew that what Sand Crocodile wanted would definitely not be given to him!

Moreover, the navy who helped Princess Weiwei come to the royal capital have not yet appeared, so it is not the time to despair!

Sure enough, a glimmer of hope flashed in Cobra's eyes, "You mean the navy is really here to help us?"

The newspaper said that a famous former admiral of the Navy was coming. He thought it was a trap set by the World Government, but he didn't expect that he was actually here to help him!

Doesn’t this mean that everything can turn around?

"That's right!" Weiwei nodded, lowered her head and quietly told Kobra about Nami's hometown.

And the thing about seagulls.

Sand Crocodile didn't hear the rest of the story, but he heard about the Navy's plan to help them, and then he laughed loudly: "Haha, I'm still imagining that your helper may be dead now! See the darkness and fire in the distance The sky is up!"

"That's a sign of the rainland's destruction!"

After saying this, both Weiwei and Cobra opened their eyes wide, "The rain is gone! The navy is also..."

Hope goes as quickly as it comes.

A cruel smile flashed in Sand Crocodile's eyes, "Yes, no more. Mr. 2 must have killed the leader of the resistance at the negotiation table now! Hahaha!!!"

"The plan has begun! If you don't tell me, this country will be gone!"

Kobra's eyes struggled.

The life and death of the entire nation depended on his words.

He thought about where the historical text recording "Hades" was located. If it really existed, there was only one possible place, which was the location of the historical text that the Neferutari family had guarded for generations - the Underground Burial Sacrifice Hall!

Their ancestral teachings say that this is the history of the royal family that their royal family has protected for generations, and it is the truth of the world.

If Hades was indeed recorded in the text of history, it would be here.

In despair, Cobra wanted to give up, but this time Vivi didn't stop him, and said in a low tone:

"Okay then... the text of history is here..."

Just as Kobra was about to speak, countless birds suddenly appeared in the sky!

The darkness was like dark clouds, covering the sky above the royal capital.

Some of them are holding water glasses, and some are holding newspapers.

The species are even more diverse.

They all gathered together and flew through the sky of the royal capital!

"What's wrong!" Sand Crocodile felt something was wrong. Thinking that the sudden seagulls looked like the ones he had seen before when he distributed posters, he immediately understood that he couldn't let these seagulls continue to act.

"Salan!"

The sand crocodile gathered into a small sandstorm in its hands and threw it into the air. The sandstorm got bigger and bigger in the air, creating a huge suction force.

Involving the surrounding birds.

Xiaoshi narrowed his eyes slightly and used his ability to control the vision of a rebel.

In an instant, he could clearly see the situation below.

MR.2 below has pretended to be a king, shot at the leader of the resistance, and took all the crimes he committed on himself.

Xiao Shi knew it was time.

"grumble!"

With a chirp, all the birds in the sky obeyed the command.

Pour the seawater out of the cup and flee immediately.

The sea water continued to fall down like raindrops.

It fell on mr.2.

And it fell on the sand crocodile!

In an instant, the fruit's ability disappeared, mr.2 was exposed, and the sandstorm disappeared.

"This is... sea water!" Mr. 2 was completely powerless. What Devil Fruit is most afraid of is sea water. If it touches the sea water, the ability to imitate the fruit will disappear.

Now he was sore all over.

"You are not the king! Who are you!"

The rebels closest to him watched as the king who signed an agreement with them and then shot them turned into another person.

Everyone was shocked and expressed their doubts loudly.

Of course someone will respond to this question.

The little stone flew above all the birds and chirped, "Chirp!"

Another group of birds dropped the newspapers in their hands.

This is the list of members of Baroque Studio!

Soon, the people on the ground picked up the fallen newspapers and started reading them.

The tables turned, and they turned quickly.

When they thought that the reason why the country had not had rain for three years was the king's selfish use of dancing powder, the king in front of them turned out to be a fake one.

Just when they thought national hero Sand Crocodile was going to be their new king, the newspaper recorded that Sand Crocodile belonged to the Baroque Studio along with the pretend king!

What are their intentions in pretending to be kings!

What's the purpose of attacking them?

The leader of the rebel army, Kosha, covered his wounded wound and said in a low voice: "The whole army retreats and leaves the royal capital. There is something fishy about this matter. Someone wants to provoke a war between us and the royal army!"

"What should we do about this person?" The resistance member was naturally talking about Mr. 2.

"Tie them up and take them away!"

---

The Sand Crocodile looked at the newspaper in his hand with a gloomy expression. In an instant, the newspaper turned into sand.

Also turned into sand was the garden on top of the castle!

He was very angry at this moment!

Continuously absorbing moisture from surrounding objects, the rooftop garden of the castle turned into sand!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Even though I was blocked from going to the rainy place, you still ruined my plan! Who is it!"

"Let me tell you, father, there is a navy to help us. That is the navy that saved Nami!" Although Princess Weiwei was tied up at the moment, the corners of her mouth were already raised.

Hope is back.

Kobra was very happy when he saw that the Sand Crocodile plan failed, "Hahaha, do you know what the name of the navy is? When he comes, I will ask the World Government to promote him!"

Princess Weiwei saw the smile on her father's face and told Kobra in a show-off manner, "That person's name is Luo Xin. Let me tell you, Nami told me. Her village at that time..."

The sand crocodile was furious there, while Princess Vivi was tied to Kobra and talking quietly.

From time to time there were exclamations and laughter.

Those who didn’t know better thought the person tied up was a sand crocodile.

"That's enough!" Sand Crocodile roared at the two of them angrily, his eyes even more terrifyingly low.

I wanted to kill the two of them, but they were too important at the moment, so I had to give up.

"Come here, take good care of the king and princess!" After saying this, he waved his hands and left.

Sand Crocodile is really out of options now.

If newspapers are scattered, their "Utopia Plan" will not be implemented.

But the royal capital is still under his control.

"Robin, bring Mr. 2 back!"

"Yes." Robin nodded, then left and disappeared into the shadows.

---

Two days later, the members of Baroque Studio had not returned.

The Sand Crocodile feels something is wrong and must act now.

Then the father and daughter, who had been locked in a small dark room, were taken to a prison.

Sand Crocodile ordered his men to take Vivi away from Kobra and pull him into the torture room.

"What do you want to do to Sand Crocodile? If you want to do it, do it to me. You don't have to do it to Weiwei, otherwise I will never be done with you..."

Kobra shouted loudly, threatening the sand crocodile, but his voice was too weak. He had not eaten for a long time since he was caught, and his face was not very good.

"Father!"

Princess Weiwei kept struggling and resisting, but it was in vain. Weiwei could not stop the powerful force.

Then, the torture and the screams of Princess Weiwei were heard in the house.

After half an hour.

The screams inside were silent, and he seemed to be unconscious.

And Kobra's eyes were dead, and he sat slumped on the ground.

Sand Crocodile looked down at Kobra at his feet, squatted down, raised his head, and said coldly: "Your daughter has been undercover in my studio for so long, and now she has betrayed you. You should be okay with me killing her."

"Let her go! Kill me..."

There were two clear tear marks on Cobra's face. Vivi's scream just now was more painful than hitting him!

"Okay, my plan failed. The navy is coming soon. I originally planned to kill Weiwei and leave, but you said so, so I promised you."

After finishing speaking, Sand Crocodile patted his cheek and said jokingly: "Is there anything else you want to say? We have known each other for the past few years."

Cobra raised his tired eyes and glanced at the Sand Crocodile's eyes that regarded torturing them as fun. Although there was infinite anger in his heart, he did not have any strength to release it.

I could only say tiredly:

"Let me take another look at Weiwei."

"Yes, but you are qualified if you can survive my kick."

The sand crocodile did not refuse, and directly volleyed with a big foot. Kobra's nearly two-meter strong man was like a fragile football.

He was kicked directly into the wall of the torture room from a distance of dozens of meters!

"puff!"

Blood spurted out from his mouth, and blood splashed on the wall. Cobra felt a strong sense of drowsiness and wanted to fall asleep.

But remembering that this was the last time he would see Weiwei, he bit his tongue. The huge pain made him sober up.

He held on!

Even though his body was so broken, he still turned around and taunted the sand crocodile.

"Hahaha, I disappoint you, but I'm still alive!"

Sand Crocodile did not enter the torture room. He snorted coldly outside the torture room, "Huh, you only have 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, you can choose how you want to die. Look at the torture tools around you and choose for yourself."

After saying that, he left the room.

Kobra looked at his daughter covered in wounds and the bloody torture instruments around her.

How could the princess who had been pampered since childhood endure such pain!

"Daughter!"

Kobra held his sleeping daughter with blood and tears in his eyes.

"Father...Emperor." As if hearing Kobra's call, Weiwei woke up from her coma.

But when he saw the blood on Kobra's face, he immediately became anxious, "Father, what's wrong with you! What did they do to you!"

Kobra shook his head, "Daughter, now is not the time to talk about this matter. We don't have much time to be a father..."

"Don't worry, Father! The navy...the navy will come to save us!"

Vivi is still fighting for hope for Kobra.

But in Kobra's eyes, that hope no longer belongs to him.

"Live on Vivi, live well." Kobra lowered his head and stroked Vivi's blue hair, kissed her ear, took the opportunity and whispered: "Our Neferutari family has guarded the history of our royal family for generations. , after I die, this task will be handed over to you."

The succession of kings must pass on the family's honor and inheritance.

Otherwise the inheritance will be broken.

This is the only thing he can give to Weiwei.

Weiwei's pupils widened and she kept shaking her head, "I don't care about the history of the royal family, I just want you, father, to be alive!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Kobra looked at her with scolding eyes and said in an extremely low voice, "Nonsense! You must remember that the things in the underground burial sacrificial hall must be protected. They are the history and honor of our family!"

"Your father, I... will go first!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, with a trace of determination in his eyes, Kobra picked up the knife next to him and was about to cut off his head.

But when he hasn't done anything yet.

Then I heard Weiwei say:

"Okay, Father, just go and be happy~"

Weiwei touched her cheek with her left hand, and her voice gradually changed, from a female voice to a male voice!

It’s mr.2!

"What a wonderful farewell~ Is it the underground burial ceremony hall? I know~"

"What!!!" Kobra's pupils widened, his eyes in disbelief.

Sand Crocodile walked in from the side with a mocking look in his eyes, and behind him was the intact Weiwei!

"Vivi!"

"Father!"

Cobra now figured out what was going on with his toes, gritted his teeth and said, "You lied to me!"

But the question went unanswered.

Kobra, who has lost his use value, has lost the right to talk to the Sand Crocodile. At this moment, the Sand Crocodile praised Mr. 2:

"Well done, Mr. 2, I didn't waste the scars left by the revolutionary army's torture on you. When I find "Pluto", everyone in this country will bear the pain of your torture!".[-]

An unusual light flashed in Mr.2's eyes, and then he nodded to accept the compliment.

The Sand Crocodile didn't notice this and left the room with Robin.

Weiwei and the king have no use value anymore!

As for the Underground Burial Ceremony Hall, Robin has checked all the books in the royal capital's library in order to find the location of the historical text these days.

She had already found out the location of the underground burial ceremony hall. She originally thought it was just a place to pay homage to ancestors. After all, many kingdoms had this, so it was very common.

Even the location is ordinary, right next to the royal capital.

I didn’t expect that such an important thing was hidden!

Sand Crocodile's eyes were downcast. He didn't expect that what he wanted was right at hand, but he couldn't find it. He snorted coldly and left the Royal Capital Castle with Robin.

"Navy! World Government! Just wait! I will pay back the price for teasing me this time!"
