Pirate: This general is a bit drifting!

"I think you have misunderstood something."

After Ikarem heard Kosha's roar, he said helplessly.

"The matter of dancing fans was not done by His Majesty. It was all secretly instigated by Crocodile."

Faced with Ikarem's explanation, Kosha naturally didn't believe it.

His face was stern, staring coldly at Kobra's face.

"Do you think I will believe it? Crocodile, he is the hero of this country! And you are just the king of this country."

"Yes, I am the king of this country, so why would I harm my people?"

Faced with Kosha's question.

Kobra interrupted Icarim's rebuttal and faced Kosha directly.

"Trust me, okay."

"I will never do anything detrimental to this country."

Facing Kobra's sincere gaze, Kosha's eyes dodge somewhat.

"I need evidence, and not just me, but the people of Alabasta need evidence."

……

on the square.

Watching these people continue to confront each other.

Ximu was a little bored.

He quietly descended from the steeple.

At this time, Ximu had already slipped into the palace.

The furnishings in the palace are very neat.

Only one place is very messy.

Ximu followed here and found a secret passage.

Looking at the bottomless secret passage in front of him, Ximu's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Jump into the secret passage.

After a long period of darkness.

Appeared in front of Ximu.

It was a secret room that suddenly opened up and was brightly lit.

There were treasures everywhere, but Ximu just glanced at them.

Because in this secret room, there was a place that caught his eye even more.

At the very back of the secret room.

There is a sphinx on display.

Under the statue made entirely of gold, there is a pair of scales.

On the pallet of the scale, a falcon is painted on one side and a jackal is painted on the other.

After scanning the heart, Ximu discovered something strange.

There is something unusual about the human face of this statue.

Step forward.

Ximu knocked hard several times.

A golden mask fell off the face on the Sphinx.

"This mask..."

Picking up the mask, Ximu couldn't see anything unusual about it.

But behind him, Kobra's extremely nervous voice suddenly sounded.

"Put it down quickly."

Ximu looked back and saw that Kobra had already walked in with Ikarem and Bell, followed closely by Kosha.

It seems that Kobra has convinced Kosha.

The jackal continued to protect the Neferutari clan.

"It's just a mask, what's all the fuss about?"

Ximu's face deliberately showed a doubtful look, and he said slowly:

"I defeated Crocodile and receiving a golden mask as a reward is not excessive at all."

"Do not."

Cobra shook his head.

"Except for this mask, everything else is fine. Even if I give you all the treasures in this secret room, that's fine."

"But that mask alone won't work."

Hearing Kobra's categorical refusal, Ximu confirmed his suspicion.

"Could this mask be handed down from Neferutali's ancestors 800 years ago?"

Kobra's face froze.

But still nodded.

Seeing Kobra nod in recognition, the smile on Ximu's face grew wider.

"Then let me guess again, what effect will this mask have?"

Looking at Kobra, the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

Nishiki said with a smile: "Isn't this mask the secret that allows the Jackal Fruit and the Falcon Fruit to be reborn in Alabasta for generations to come?"

Hearing these words, Kosha was in a trance.

He took out the Shasha Fruit from his arms and said, "No wonder, no wonder I found these two Devil Fruits here. It turns out that they will always be reborn in the secret room of the palace."

After hearing Kosha's words, Kobra's face became even more ugly.

In this way, the 800-year-old secret of the Neferutali clan was revealed.

At this time, Ximu could no longer care about Kobra's ugly expression.

Behind Kobra, there are murals carved on the wall at the entrance to the secret room.

Ximu only felt that these murals were somewhat familiar.

The painting style and characters are exactly the same as the base in Sky Island.

This time the scene is an airship.

Research was going on inside the airship, and the group of winged lunar men created a demon mask.

The person wearing the mask sees the devil contained in the fruit.

The person with the ability was executed. Attracted by the mask, the demon was reborn into the fruit near the mask.

Seeing this mural, Ximu also understood why jackals and falcons always appeared in Alabasta.

Ximu is certain that the golden mask in his hand is the demon mask made by the ancient moon people.

Snap the mask onto your face.

Xi Mu's vision became gray.

He saw the devil in the Devil Fruit in Kosa's hand.

There is also a demon living in the bodies of Kosha and Bell.

But what makes Xi Mu confused is.

Why is there no demon that represents black energy in his body?

Taking off the mask, his vision returned to normal.

"Your Majesty the King, please give me this mask as a reward for defeating Crocodile."

Kobra shook his head with an ugly expression.

He said firmly: "Change it. Anything but this mask will do."

Hearing this, Ximu raised his eyebrows.

"Is it okay even if you give me the position of king of Alabasta?"

Kobra was speechless now.

This is worse than asking for a mask.

Seeing that Kobra was unwilling, Ximu sighed.

He slowly pulled out the Seven Star Sword from his waist.

"Why are you forcing me? I don't want to take action."

The red light flashing in Ximu's eyes made Cobra feel cold.

"If you do this, can you still be considered a navy?"

Kobra snapped.

"Anyway, there is no one else here, just you three. Plus this place is so hidden, no one will know if I kill you."

Kobra's expression changed instantly.

next moment.

Black light flashed on the Seven Star Sword.

The eyes of Kobra, Icarim, Bell, and Kosha all lit up red.

"My dear King, can you tell me now, can you give me this mask?"

The red light faded, and Kobra's eyes rolled.

"Okay, this is what you deserve."

Seeing this, Ximu also smiled.

"very good."

Domineering energy covered the mask, and with a flick of his finger, the gold plated on the mask fell off instantly.

The true face of the mask was revealed.

The two long horns fit just right on the face.

This is a devil's mask.
