I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

114 The royal capital in turmoil

After dropping Gabra and a squadron of marines at Rapeseed Port.

The warship continued westward, then turned when it reached the entrance to the Sentora River and headed north along the river.

It only takes less than half a day to reach the destination of this trip.

"Major General, Alabasta has sent the latest information."

"The Straw Hats were attacked when they were in Yuba. After defeating the attackers, they continued north and arrived in the Rain Land two days ago."

"Later, they were captured by Crocodile in the casino in Rainland, and his companions escaped."

"But yesterday, Luffy was rescued by his companions again, and his current whereabouts are unknown!"

Good guy, this guy is destined to be caught by Crocodile once.

But it's normal. At his current age, if he touches Crocodile, he will be undefeated.

Even if Crocodile's strength is rubbish.

"After arriving at the destination, let Kalifa and four others enter western Alabasta to be responsible for finding and monitoring the Straw Hats."

"By the way, you should go together, otherwise if they encounter Crocodile, the four of them will not be too domineering to deal with it. After all, they are natural ability users!"

"Kaku took the remaining two squadrons and stayed behind to guard the warships."

"After that, I will go to Albana first to meet with Kobra. I will arrange the follow-up matters after I have met with Kobra."

After pondering for a moment, Sean said.

"Yes, Major General!"

------

The next day.

Alabasta capital.

Albana.

At this moment, a large number of civilians living in the capital blocked outside the palace.

Although the king's army did their best to keep them out, there was still chaos in the palace.

"Impossible, I didn't leave the palace at all today!"

"King, of course we know this, but the people don't know. Even if we go out to explain, they won't believe it."

Three hours ago.

Countless residents of the capital witnessed it with their own eyes. Kobra appeared in a certain market with a team of king's guards, directly scolded all the people to kneel to the king, and announced that the right to drink water belongs to the king. People need to pay a drinking water tax every day to drink water. Ten thousand beli a month.

What?

Just let us kneel down. After all, no matter which kingdom, there is a etiquette of kneeling to the king.

Although Kobra had never asked for this before, they could still accept it.

But you have to pay tax on drinking water?

This is too ridiculous...

Even though many people protested, the guards of "Kobra" were unequivocal and started fighting directly.

How can these ordinary civilians defeat them?

It didn't take long for a large number of people to be injured, and several people even died.

But it also completely pissed everyone off.

So, more than 3,000 people gathered in the market at that time...

It exploded immediately.

There were more than 3,000 people, and "Cobra" only had more than 20 guards around him.

Seeing that something was wrong, the guards immediately protected the "king" and ran away.

Soon, this incident spread throughout Albana at an extremely unusual speed.

Just three hours.

More and more people gathered in front of the palace, wanting to ask the king for a tax law.

Especially the group of people in the market before carried more than ten corpses and placed them at the front.

After learning about this, Kobra was completely stunned.

I didn't leave at all today, why did this happen?

"King, the most important thing now is to quickly disperse the crowd. Otherwise, if we continue at this rate, more than half of the residents of the capital will gather here in less than a day."

"That's millions of people, and there are only 1000 king's guards and 5 king's troops in Albana. The situation will be out of control!"

Ikarem knew it.

Since someone is framing Kobra like this, it won't end with just this step.

When the number of people gathers to a certain amount, there will definitely be something to fan the flames, and eventually it will evolve into millions of people storming the palace.

Although they are all civilians, the 5 royal troops can hold on for a long time, and then just wait for the royal troops from various places to arrive.

But how many people will die in the process?

Tens of thousands?

Hundreds of thousands?

Even millions?

That's not the most important thing!

the most important is...

Once things develop like this, the rebels in Cattleya are likely to use this incident to rapidly expand their strength.

And Kobra will become...

The tyrant in the mouth of all the people! !

Although I don’t know who did it, their move is really vicious!

"No, suppression is not possible. They are all people of Alabasta. I will go out and explain to them personally!"

"King... We can ask the king's army to try not to hurt people's lives during the suppression, but time really cannot be wasted!"

Icarem advised again.

Explanation?

Is it useful?

They say seeing is believing!

Thousands of people witnessed it with their own eyes at the market.

Do you think they will believe you or their own eyes?

Isn't this obvious?

My king is really good in everything, but he is too lenient.

If it is in a peaceful era where people live and work in peace and contentment, such a king is indeed a good king.

But if there is a turmoil, such a king will...

"It seems that you are in quite a lot of trouble!"

"Who is it? Quick, protect the king!"

The sudden sound made Ikarem immediately alert.

This is the royal palace of Alabasta, and there are more than 5 people protecting it outside.

How did the other party come in, and what did he want to do?

The next moment, the elite guards immediately took action.

Some of them surrounded Kobra and protected him.

Another group of people surrounded the figure that suddenly appeared and raised their weapons one after another.

At this time, Ikarem also clearly saw the person coming.

He was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was wearing the coat of justice of a naval admiral, and he was carrying an unconscious guy in his right hand.

As far as he knew, there was only one such young general.

And that person has indeed been contacted and will come to visit the king in the next few days.

"Are you... Rear Admiral Sean Campbell?"

"Yes, can we ask them to put down their weapons?"

"Feel sorry!"

Immediately, Icarem waved his hand, and all the guards retreated.

"Major General Sean, we can talk about the previous matters later. Now there are some things that need to be dealt with first."

Kobra spoke.

Although Sean came here this time to talk to him about Crocodile.

But after all, in this situation, dealing with the riot outside the palace is obviously the top priority.

"King Kobra, your current situation is actually not difficult to solve."

"What do you mean, Major General Sean? Do you also want to persuade me to suppress it?"

"No, no, I mean, King Kobra was lucky. When I came here, I happened to meet a group of people and captured their leader."

Sean shook his head.

Then he threw the guy he was holding in his right hand to the ground.

"What are you..."

"This is the guy who impersonated you in the market. When they left Alba, I happened to meet them, so I caught them."

"what!!!"

Kobra and Icarim were immediately shocked.

Is this the guy who impersonated the king and caused turmoil in the capital?

Good guy, Sean happened to bump into him when he came, and then he caught him?

If it were true, the whole thing would be settled.

"Major General Sean, don't you know who this person is?"

"Von Clay, a member of Baroque Works, codenamed Mr. 2, his Devil Fruit is a superhuman imitation fruit. He can transform himself into anyone he comes into contact with. If you want to impersonate King Kobra, you are a It’s an easy thing.”

"Baroque Work Society..."

"Yes, do you know who the president of Baroque Working Group is?"

"It's unclear. Although we have investigated this Baroque workshop, we still know very little about it."

Kobra shook his head.

"Their president, codenamed Mr.0, his true identity is King Shichibukai, Crocodile!"

"Krokdal, is it really him...but why is he?"

Although Ikarem said that Crocodile's behavior was very questionable.

But what Kobra never understood was why he had to do this, even if he really wanted to seize a country just like Doflamingo.

The target shouldn't be Alabasta.

Although this place is large and has a large population, it is poor! !

"King Kobra, Crocodile's goal is not your country, but what is recorded in the historical text."

"Well, in Baroque Works, Crocodile's partner is a woman named Nico Robin. If I say this, you should understand?"
