Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chihong returned the Shasha Fruit to Nami with an astonished look on her face, but she refused to let go of her overflowing lips.

Originally, he was still troubled by the fact that the Shasha Fruit had such a useful ability that he couldn't keep it in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, it was reborn in Alabasta, and accidentally triggered Nami's picking up ability.

It's like God's blessing.

but……

"Who should use the power of this rustling fruit?!"

Chihong couldn't help but think.

Unlike the Slippery Fruit, which seems useless but is invincible upon reflection...

The Shasha Fruit is not very powerful in the natural system.

Even in Crimson Eyes, it's not as good as the Swamp Fruit that will appear 2 years later.

The reason why it can show so much power is entirely because its user Crocodile himself is a strong man with considerable strength.

So in this way, this fruit will become very useless.

Just keep it in your hands. It's a natural type anyway, which is a pity.

But let your friends eat it, but it is too weak.

After thinking for a moment, a strange color suddenly flashed in his red eyes.

He raised his head and asked Nami:

"Nami, are you interested in using this fruit's ability to gain more benefits for yourself!?"

Nami was stunned: "What do you mean!?"

……

……

A week later.

Arupana, the holy capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Countless citizens from all over the kingdom gathered around the People's Square in Aruba, looking at a huge screen in the center of the square with confusion and anticipation.

Some of them were in rags and had no food to eat, but they still came here tremblingly holding a long stick and crutches.

Some were wearing beautiful clothes and occupying favorable terrain accompanied by guards.

It can be seen that they come from different classes and different regions of the kingdom.

Now they are all gathered in this crowded square.

Among the crowd, there were even many mysteriously dressed guys, some of whom had to cover themselves tightly even in such hot weather.

And if Weiwei appears again, she will definitely look surprised at these mysterious guys.

Because these guys who dare not show their faces are none other than...

It is the biggest problem within the Kingdom of Alabasta today, the one with the goal of overthrowing Kobra's incompetent rule - the rebels!

As for why they, who were supposed to be in the Yuba base, appeared here...

All of this starts with the "Edict of Sin" that was suddenly issued across the country by Kobra, the Kingdom of Alabasta, a week ago...

Due to year-round drought and water shortage in most parts of the kingdom, the entire country has fallen into a state of civil strife where people are living in dire straits.

The rebel forces are growing day by day!

Under the instigation of Baroque Works' agent Meng, there is a possibility of launching a general attack on the Royal Army at any time!

However, just as the leader of the rebel army, Kosha, was planning to send troops to attack the Holy Capital, Kobra suddenly announced...

He has found the root cause of the drought and civil strife in the kingdom and produced a large amount of relevant evidence.

Only then did all the people of Alabasta know...

It turns out that the Shichibukai Crocodile, who is often published in newspapers as the hero of the Kingdom of Sand, is actually the culprit of all this!

Because of Robin's help, the evidence Cobra showed was so comprehensive that if a pedestrian took this evidence to another country, it would be possible to complete an operation to steal the country.

But although all this was Crocodile's conspiracy, Kobra did not shirk his responsibility.

He didn’t immediately discover the internal problems in the kingdom, and he didn’t immediately investigate the rumors when he encountered them. He believed that as long as he was kind to the people, he could make the country rich and powerful...

In the edict of sin, Kobra sincerely repented of his mistakes and promised the people that he would never continue to use this Buddhist management method in the future. He hoped that the people could trust him again!

that's it……

Under the red hint, the Baroque agents who were lurking throughout the kingdom once again exerted their strength, making more and more people willing to believe in Kobra.

And I came here specifically to participate in today's announcement ceremony of the Kingdom of Alabasta's reform plan organized by the royal family!

As the sun in the sky slowly moved from the horizon to directly above everyone's heads, it illuminated the earth into a golden color.

At this moment, a violent gust of sand suddenly rose from the high platform inside the square.

And the big black screen suddenly turned on at this moment, transmitting the images from the high platform into the sight of every citizen present.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

At this moment, an apologetic voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the center of the square.

And follow this current, extending all the way to city squares across the kingdom.

Soon, under everyone's shocked eyes, the flying yellow sand instantly condensed on the high platform, and slowly transformed into the figure of an elegant blue-haired princess wearing a noble dress.

"That is……"

Seeing this scene, Kosha suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Weiwei appearing in this way in disbelief.

As the boss of the rebel army, he naturally has his own intelligence system.

Kosha instantly recognized that the ability used by Weiwei was exactly the ability of Crocodile who was stationed in the Rain Land, Alabasta Sinner, and Shichibukai - Natural Shasha Fruit!

"How could..." Kosha looked shocked.

Among those present, there were not a few people who also recognized Weiwei's appearance.

Everyone instantly realized... today's briefing may not be as simple as they thought!

as predicted.

The next moment, Weiwei, who was standing under the spotlight, walked to the front of the microphone, took a deep breath, and then said sadly:

"People of the Kingdom of Alabasta, I'm sorry that this announcement was not held until today!"

"You have really... suffered during this period of time!"

As the princess of a country, Weiwei suddenly bowed to the thousands of people in front of her under the camera.

This scene also made countless people of the kingdom shed tears instantly.

True.

Kobra did not bring development and security to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

But as a benevolent king, he has won the love and support of countless people.

Even after three years of severe drought and countless people starving to death, a large number of citizens still believed in their king.

The image of the Nefet royal family has long become a belief in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

"Princess Weiwei! It's not your fault!"

"Yes! Everything is Crocodile's fault!!! It has nothing to do with you!"
