One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Sunset, the sky is getting dark.

The stars appear.

I have to say, Alabasta is really beautiful at night.

Unlike the lively nights at the Elegia Music Festival, the nights in the desert are quiet.

There was no loud noise, not even the sound of waves.

The only sound of wind turned into a soft and weak breeze due to the surrounding high walls, no longer whistling.

…

Inside the camp.

Everyone repaired on the spot, relieving themselves from the fatigue of traveling for many days.

After this period of getting along, Uta was able to talk to Robin.

The former’s character is inherently cheerful and lively;

Although the latter carries a heavy past, she is still just a teenage girl and has not become a gloomy adult.

The two chatted and laughed, distributing supplies from the camp to others.

The original owners of the camp, the pirates, had been buried in the ground by Lindsay, leaving only a head and a little space for breathing.

"Hey, you brat!"

That group of pirates can develop into a large team of dozens of people, so there will naturally be no shortage of ruthless people.

One of them saw Uta and immediately shouted:

"When I come out, I'll sell you to the Chambord Islands, okay?"

"..."

Uta blinked and asked Robin on the side: "Is this a threat?"

"No."

Robin shook his head and said with a smile: "That's a tough talk."

Cross your hands in front of your chest.

The flower fruit ability is activated!

Shua la la...

Two hands appeared behind the pirate's neck, clasped his chin, and bent him back forcefully.

Click!

The crisp sound of bones breaking suddenly frightened the surrounding pirates.

But Uta is the daughter of a pirate after all, so she doesn't have the slightest fear in her heart.

She knew very well what this group of pirates had done to Mr. Gaka, and believed that they deserved it.

"Sister Robin is so amazing!"

Uta chuckled, showing his white teeth, "I also have to work hard to become stronger!"

…

The lives of little ghosts are always carefree.

Lindsay noticed this and immediately went to Uta to try to study "Totemjika".

He had promised Shanks that he would take time to take care of Uta.

But before he could get up, he was pushed down by Crocodile in front of him.

"Wait a minute!"

Crocodile's veins burst out and he just felt a headache.

The thinking logic of primitive people is too jumping. It is obvious that the things here are not finished yet, but the other side attracts attention.

“Let’s talk about the [Golden Lion] Powerhouse Conference first!”

Crocodile was afraid that Lindsay's attention would slip away again, so he decisively got to the point and signaled Jaka to continue.

Jaka: "..."

After a while, he spoke softly.

…

That was about four or five days after Lindsay and Crocodile left Alabasta.

In the afternoon.

A thunderous sound like the earth was shattering suddenly appeared in the airspace of Alabasta.

Bell, one of the deputy captains of the Kingdom Guard, has the rare ability to fly as a bird fruit falcon form user. He immediately took the live phone bug to high altitude to investigate.

A scene that no one expected occurred.

High in the sky, the floating island collided with a large number of thunders. It was a scene of apocalyptic natural disaster!

Bell hid in the clouds, dodging left and right, but still couldn't completely avoid the damage.

He was forced to descend rapidly and finally managed to escape.

A large number of fragments of floating islands fell from the sky, falling on the land of Alabasta like meteorite raindrops.

Fortunately among misfortunes.

Alabasta is a desert country, and the island fragments fell in a desert, so there were no casualties.

But then, something even more bizarre happened.

Kobra commanded the army to maintain order, and at the same time planned to spread the news to the outside world, trying to contact Lindsay and the World Government.

After all, Alabasta is still a member of the World Government. If such a big thing happened and it did not violate the world's emergency, the government would naturally want to help.

But Cobra never expected that communications throughout Alabasta would be out of order!

The phone bugs couldn't be used at all, and even the TV signal couldn't be maintained properly.

Strange high walls have been raised all along the coast, enclosing the entire Alabasta.

Large and small floating islands descended, suspended in the desert on the western inland side of Alabasta.

Cobra wanted to order someone to investigate, but a strange figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the palace of Alabasta.

He is a young man with big earlobes.

The young man looked indifferent, and after inspecting the Alabasta Royal Palace as if no one else was watching, he named the place "The Temporary Palace of the Gods."

He swung out an electric current, seriously injuring Bell in an instant!

Jaka and other guards tried their best to cover, and Kobra, Weiwei and others finally managed to escape from the palace.

They evacuated the crowd in the royal capital of Arupana, and finally fled to the port city of "Rape Blossom" with the people in Arupana, planning a long-term plan.

…

"..."

"About the third day after we arrived in Rapeseed Flowers, we suddenly received this leaflet."

Jaka frowned and recalled.

"Not just us, not even within Alabasta."

"Based on what happened later, it is very likely that this leaflet has flowed into the underground world and attracted a large number of pirates!"

"The pirates crossed the high wall and came to Alabasta to participate in the so-called 'Conference of the Strong'."

"..."

"Fortunately among the misfortunes, during the conflict with Drum Island, we built some shelter facilities in Alabasta, and they are now functioning."

Jaka said in a deep voice:

"There is no particularly big movement on the floating islands and the royal palace in Arupana."

"There are quite a few pirates who will cause chaos in various parts of Alabasta, and even kill each other for the so-called 'qualification to participate in the conference'!"

"Bell is seriously injured and has not recovered. I was ordered to form a guerrilla force to help the king's army and militia across the country to fight against pirates and protect civilians."

"Unexpectedly, I was ambushed and almost died."

"..."

Jaka spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Lindsay and Crocodile already understood the general story of what happened.

…

Because of some unknown reason.

After escaping from the impel city, [Golden Lion] Shiji, who was hiding his power and biding his time, met Eniro from Sky Island.

A conflict broke out between the two sides over Alabasta.

The final result should be evenly matched.

Combined with what Anilu said to himself before, it seems that they are accumulating strength and intend to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Enel is living in the palace of Arupana, activating his natural ability and performing so-called "electricity storage".

And where is [Golden Lion] Shi Ji?

His behavior is very strange.

Instead of taking the opportunity to improve his own strength, he used the excuse of the "Conference of the Strong" to summon pirates, seemingly to form a pirate alliance!

…

"..."

"Something's wrong."

Crocodile thought for a long time and uttered a few words, "Something is wrong!"

Lindsay took a sip of wine and tilted her head, "Where?"

"No, I can't say it yet. It's just an intuition."

It was related to Alabasta, which was his hard work over the years. Of course Crocodile could not put himself on such a high pedestal.

He took out the "shell" that he had been playing with for a long time.

"Look carefully, these are the special shellfish of Sky Island, collected from those pirates."

Crocodile said: "The climate of Kongdao is special, and this kind of shellfish is widely used in the daily life of Kongdao people."

"And this one is similar to a 'flare gun'."

"I speculate that this may be a certificate of participation in the 'Conference of Strong Men'."

"Using 'Bei' can avoid the interference of 'Thunder' on the signal."

After saying this, Crocodile thought for a moment, but still shook his head.

“I always felt like something was wrong, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.”

"..."

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Crocodile was about to change his mind when he heard Lindsay next to him saying quietly:

“Do ‘high walls’ really work?”

"Um?"

Crocodile was stunned.

Then, Lindsay was seen rubbing her chin and wondering:

"With such a large franchise country suddenly losing contact, it is impossible for the world government to be unaware of it."

"The World Government has no reason to ignore the 'Conference of Strong Men' that is widely spread in the underground world."

"..."

"Speaking of which-"

Lindsay raised her eyes to look at Crocodile and asked something that was very scary to think about:

"Shiki and Eneluben 'shouldn't have met', right?"
