Pirates: Admiral Silver Falcon is also very irritable today

"Ahem, so they are the scholars from Alabasta!" Cobra is indeed one of the few wise monarchs in the One Piece world. His mind is faster than others.

Michael just changed his name, and he immediately understood the deep meaning of the words.

"Ikarem! Why don't you hurry up and arrange accommodation for our scholars from Alabasta... No! Arrange them in the palace first!"

Although Cobra and Michael reached a consensus in an instant, they still chose to be cautious.

After all, so many Ohara scholars have been rescued, it is better not to let them show up for the time being. Wait until the storm is over and give them a new identity.

"I will follow your orders, His Majesty Cobra."

Ikarem immediately took the order, and then left the hall with the scholars headed by Dr. Clover.

Garp was still a little confused and did not react.

"Well, that's it?"

"What else?" Michael rolled his eyes at old man Garp, "It's a matter of mutual consent. You don't think it needs to be dragged back and forth, right?"

Smart people like Michael and Cobra know that their time is precious and must not be wasted on those petty gains.

"Lieutenant Colonel Michael, thank you for sending the scholars from Alabasta back to their hometown." Cobra said seriously, "I don't know, what do you need me to do?"

No detours, just straight to the point!

Michael likes to deal with such people!

Saves worry and trouble!

"Your Majesty Cobra is really a straightforward person." Michael nodded, "Then I'll say it straight, I hope to establish a naval branch in Alabasta."

As soon as Michael finished speaking, Cobra's face changed.

It's not resistance, but starting to think about whether this deal is worth it...

More than 200 outstanding scholars who master various knowledge are definitely urgently needed by the entire Alabasta.

Only knowledge can bring civilization.

But...

Only if I have to pay the price of letting the Navy establish an Alabasta branch so that the World Government can reach into Alabasta?

If it were other member countries of the World Government, they might have agreed without hesitation. This is simply a shortcut to establish a good relationship with the World Government and the Navy!

But the Nefertari family, as the descendants of one of the twenty kings who established the World Government.

They could have become Celestial Dragons but chose to return to their homeland.

They know better than anyone what the World Government and the so-called "Celestial Dragons" are.

This is also the reason why Cobra has always refused the Navy to station in Alabasta and has devoted all his national strength to train 600,000 standing troops.

Although he loves peace, he doesn't want his country to fall into a situation where it is arbitrarily controlled and exploited by the World Government.

"I know what you are worried about. Please rest assured that the person in charge of this branch... will only be me."

"But your identity is always a navy."

"I am a navy, yes." Michael nodded, "but my purpose and your majesty's are similar."

Looking at Cobra, Michael took two steps forward and continued:

"As the Nefertari family, who should have become Celestial Dragons, you should know better than me that the World Government and Celestial Dragons are for the entire world..."

"The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

When Michael said this, Cobra's first thought was not to answer, or pretend not to hear these crazy words, but to look at Garp beside him.

Unexpectedly, Garp, who was still in high spirits just now, was already standing there...

Falling asleep.

There was even a huge snot bubble on his nose.

"Vice Admiral Garp is..."

"Your Majesty Cobra, please don't worry about Vice Admiral Garp for now. What do you think of my proposal just now?" Michael looked at Garp who was sleeping soundly, and then laughed softly, "Our goals... at least most of them are the same, right?"

"You want to make the country unaffected by the World Government, and I want the Navy to no longer be controlled by the World Government... In essence, there is no difference between what we want."

...

"Michael, did His Majesty Cobra agree to your request just like that?"

Stella, who had just witnessed everything in the hall, couldn't help but ask Michael, "Is this equivalent to going against the entire World Government? He just agreed to it?"

"What's the matter? Everything he did in this country was to get rid of the influence of the World Government."

"Ahem, ahem, that's enough, Michael, don't say a few more words like this outside in the future."

Garp, who had just fallen asleep in the hall, had already woken up at this time.

To be precise...…

He didn't fall asleep at all.

This old man looks like a brainless reckless man, but he is actually a first-class actor with a very sensitive political sense.

When he heard that Michael was going to talk to King Cobra about some treasonous things, he pretended to fall asleep.

After all, Michael knew that Garp was in the same group with him...

But others didn't know!

So Garp just pretended to be asleep.

"But is your plan reliable?" Garp asked in a low voice, "Although we have already discussed the construction of the Navy Branch with Cobra, the implementation still depends on Sengoku's opinion."

Garp didn't elaborate, but Michael heard the implication.

Sengoku has the final say on this matter.

And Sengoku is still on the side of the World Government.

The occurrence of the O'Hara incident, at most, made Sengoku waver in his position, but it is still far from a complete change.

"Besides, why did you set your sights on Alabasta? Are you here for the 600,000 standing troops? Is this the other three sources of troops outside of Wano Country that you mentioned?"

"Of course not." Michael shook his head. "Alabasta is not a source of troops, but a base."

"Base?"

"Alabasta is to me what Baldigo is to Brother Long... Do you understand what I mean?"

The ruler is wise, there is no interference from the World Government, and there are good economic conditions for the development of spiritual civilization.

The most important thing is that in this country, everyone "knows Alabasta, but not the World Government", unlike some countries that worship the World Government in a high place.

Such a high-quality environment, of course, needs to be developed into a base as soon as possible.

Those sparks will be ignited for the first time in the desert and oasis of Alabasta!

After leaving the Alabasta Palace, the group went straight back to the warship.

Bogart, who stayed behind on the warship, immediately brought two big news...

"Vice Admiral Garp, just received a tip from the Navy Headquarters!"

"There is civil unrest in the Kingdom of Solbe! Monkey D. Dragon is leading the Self-Defense Forces to join the war!"
