The two sides reached an agreement on their apparent purpose, and the two ships had already docked. Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan decided to ride on a running duck with Zhang Daye and others, and let the sailors follow suit.
"Take my running duck. I'm still guarding the boat. I happen to be a little hungry. I'll take the opportunity to eat something and take a rest." Shark Pepper just changed his super form and used various moves, and let the Shark Giant pull the boat. , which consumes a lot of energy and needs to be replenished.
Zhang Da also felt that it was unlikely that Lao Sha would attack again, but it was good for Shark Chili to take a rest. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave the Amber to you."
Huo Shaoshan thought about it, and in addition to leaving behind the necessary guards and a few boatmen, he also left a few more sailors who were good at cooking.
So Zhang Daye and his party, together with Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, rode on the running duck and rushed to Albana quickly, while the rest of the sailors lined up behind and ran forward.
The round trip of less than a hundred kilometers was still within their tolerance, and it was rare to be able to participate in a major event involving the king of a country and the Shichibukai. The soldiers were nervous and excited at the same time. Isn't it just running? , just treat it as outdoor training.
…
In the wild, somewhere in the desert, a sand pit was dug out at some point. A small tent was set up in the middle, and the surrounding area was well covered with piles of sand.
The inside of the tent is windproof, sandproof and sunproof, so it can be considered comfortable in the desert.
However, the people inside were not very comfortable.
King Kobra of Alabasta was lying weakly on the ground, with blood flowing from his forehead, nose and corners of his mouth. There were scars all over his body. It was obvious that he had just experienced brutal torture.
"Aren't you going to tell me yet? I told you that I have no interest in this country at all." Crocodile held a cigar in his mouth and a fur coat on his body, and asked, "Where is Hades?"
Kobra struggled to support his body, looked into Crocodile's eyes, and said with some difficulty: "I don't know where you heard that name, but it's just something in legend. Why would someone like you do it?" Pursuing that kind of thing?”
"'That kind of thing'? That is an ancient weapon known as the most ferocious warship in history, a weapon that can destroy an island with one shot!" Crocodile opened his arms, and the smoke of his cigar could not cover the fanatical look on his face. "As long as I have it, I can build the strongest 'military nation' and continuously increase its strength. The 'Utopia' I pursue is a true ideal country that can surpass the world government and dominate the world!"
Kobra shook his head slightly: "The World Government will not let you do this."
"Of course they won't! That's why I thought about doing it secretly, accumulating strength, and waiting to seize Pluto while seizing this country! But a group of idiots appeared out of nowhere and completely disrupted my plan!"
Crocodile was in a complicated mood. He had been perfecting this plan in recent years and thought that there were no loopholes. However, he never expected that something unexpected happened midway. The cause was just over half a year ago when an inexplicable businessman wanted to catch one. cat?
Crocodile didn't know how to describe his feelings. Is there something wrong with that businessman? Would you hire a killer for a cat?
The most ridiculous thing is that three senior agents went out together and failed!
Cobra knew who the 'idiots' Crocodile was talking about, but in his opinion, those people might be the saviors of Alabasta.
"Since you know that the world government will not let you go, why are you continuing now?" Kobra put aside the Amber Group for the time being and asked, "You should know that after something like this happened, if you just run away, maybe You'll be fine, but once you get that weapon, the World Government will spare no effort to surround you."
"The more this happens, the more I want to get it!" Crocodile raised his hand, a handful of yellow sand above his palm constantly changing shape, "There are limits to personal power, and only military power can make people fearful!"
Crocodile was also frivolous in his early years. He once thought he was invincible and confidently ran to challenge the great pirate Whitebeard.
Then... reality slapped him hard, making him realize his own insignificance.
During the period after that, he kept denying himself. In a confused state, he wanted to defeat Whitebeard, but also doubted whether he could do that.
Finally one day, he learned the news about Pluto. It turned out that there was such a powerful battleship in the world! Even Whitebeard would definitely not be able to resist the power of destroying an island with one shot, right?
So Crocodile plunged into the big pit of pursuing 'military power'.
He looked at Kobra and said seriously: "I originally planned to establish an utopia in Alabasta, but now it seems that it is no longer possible, so as long as you tell me the location of Hades, I will leave this country and let you go. ,how?"
Kobra didn't believe a word of Crocodile's words. Generally speaking, the first thing a pirate does when he gets a new weapon is to test its power, such as using a new knife to kill someone, or using a new cannonball to destroy a line. street.
And what will Crocodile do after Hades leaves? I'm afraid the first thing to do is to shoot Alabasta and see if we can take out an island.
"Unfortunately, I don't know where Pluto is, and I'm not even sure whether it exists or not." In fact, Kobra knew some clues, but he didn't want to reveal them.
"Is that so? I have also considered this possibility. For example, you are unwilling to cooperate, or you really don't know." Crocodile was not surprised by Kobra's answer, "Then let me change the question, Kobra , where is the stuff that records the historical text?"
"You actually know that kind of thing?!" Cobra was a little surprised. Eleven years have passed since the O'Hara incident, and he didn't expect to hear someone mention the word 'historical text'.
"Of course I know." Crocodile took out a reward order, which showed a little black-haired girl with a reward of 79 million beli. "Finding her was originally the goal of the next stage, but since the plan has been messed up, first It doesn’t matter if you get the historical text and then go find her.”
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Cobra's forehead. Nico Robin + historical text = resurrection of ancient weapons. This equation is very intimidating to those of them who know some secret information.
He clearly knew that the historical text of Alabasta was hidden in the basement of the Royal Palace's Burial Hall, and that it was indeed related to Hades. However, the Nefertari family's mission passed down from generation to generation was to protect this stone tablet that recorded the historical text. .
Maybe the meaning of guarding it is to show it to someone in the future, but this person is definitely not Crocodile.
"Historical text is something that the world government has explicitly prohibited from studying. How could Alabasta, as a member country, have it." Kobra refused to answer Crocodile's question.
"Oh, I still want to delay, but it seems that you won't cooperate with me so easily." Crocodile asked, "This is not far from Albana. Do you know why no one has come to you for so long? "
Kobra was knocked unconscious by Mr. 1 and was taken away. He did not see Mr. 2 transform into him, so he was indeed a little confused. As Crocodile said, this place is not far from Albana. According to Bell's eyesight, , you should be able to find it soon.
"Boss?" A male voice sounded outside the tent.
"Come in."
Mr. 1 walked into the tent and reported: "Received contact from Mr. 2, the unlucky duo has been defeated."
This is to be expected. Anyway, the mission of the vulture and sea otter has been completed. Life and death are not important. Crocodile asked: "Where is Mr. 2?"
Mr.1 glanced at Kobra and replied: "It's going very well. The soldiers in the royal capital are all following the 'King's' order to provide disaster relief, and there is no sign of leaving the city."
Kobra's eyes widened. The king had been kidnapped. Which king's order were they following?
Crocodile nodded and explained to Kobra with a smile: "Mr. 2 Von Clay, a person with the ability to imitate the fruit, can transform into anyone he touches with his right hand. Even the figure and voice can be imitated perfectly, including you, Kobra."
"When did he..." Kobra remembered that he was knocked unconscious. He must have been touched by him at that time.
In other words, there is now a dangerous criminal giving orders in the palace right in his face? If he wants to issue some ridiculous decree or wants to assassinate someone in the palace, then everyone will definitely not be prepared!
"Guhahaha... Judging from your expression, I must have thought of it, right?" Crocodile smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to cooperate. Mr. 2 will investigate on his own in the palace. But..."
Crocodile's tone became colder, with a cruel smile on his face: "We don't have much time. If we can't find clues before dark, Princess Weiwei may be killed by her 'father' ?”
"You guy..." Kobra struggled to stand up, trying to grab Crocodile's collar.
But Mr. 1 was a qualified subordinate. He quickly stood in front of Crocodile and punched Kobra in the abdomen.
Kobra clutched his stomach and fell down, panting violently.
"Don't be impatient. It may not be Weiwei who is going to die. It could also be some minister or some escort. They will die in the hands of their beloved king. I guess they won't feel sorry, right?" Crocodile continued to use words to break up Kou. Bulla’s resistance:
"That's not all. Think about it carefully, what can a fatuous king bring to this country? Especially if a king who is deeply loved by the people suddenly becomes fatuous, something interesting will happen, right?"
"Ahem..." Kobra vomited a mouthful of blood and said with an ugly expression, "That's enough. He can't find the place where the historical texts are hidden. I'll take you there!"
"Guhahaha..." Crocodile laughed, "You figured it out so quickly, you are indeed the 'Wise Lord' Kobra!"
"Boss?" Mr.1 still had doubts. He thought this person might be up to something.
"It doesn't matter." Crocodile said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if he is being clever. The worst we can do is take him and disappear, leaving the other 'king' in Alabasta to find him slowly."
Kobra's face was filled with gloom. At this point, he was already determined to die. He had to find an opportunity to spread the news that the current king was someone else pretending to be someone else, and then... die with Crocodile!
The basement of the Burial Sacrifice Hall is very deep, and a mechanism is designed. As long as Crocodile is quietly activated when the historical text attracts the main force, Crocodile can be buried underground with him!
As the 12th generation king of the Neferutari family, Kobra would rather die than let Crocodile's conspiracy succeed!
At Crocodile's signal, Mr. 1 carried Kobra out of the tent and put him in the car. Carrying the king into the city was too eye-catching, so it was better to take a ride.
The cart is pulled by an animal unique to Alabasta, an amphibious transport turtle. Although it is a turtle, the speed of pulling the cart is not slow.
Crocodile sat in the car with Kobra. Mr. 1 was responsible for driving and responding to city gate inspections. If that didn't work, Crocodile, the 'hero', could swipe his face into the city.
On the way, Mr. 1 looked at the time and said: "Boss, miss. The time limit for the task of two fingers has passed. They haven't contacted us. I'm afraid it failed."
】
Crocodile frowned and asked, "Did the goal not be achieved at all?"
Mr.1 replied: "No, the Navy has indeed been lured over. There should be a problem in the second half."
"Amber Tour Group, it's them again!" Crocodile bit his cigar, feeling a little unhappy. Why is it that no matter what the mission, there are always problems when encountering the Amber Tour Group?
According to the intelligence, there seem to be a few people from the Amber Tour Group left in the palace? Crocodile had a bad premonition. There might be something wrong with Mr. 2, right?
Crocodile said in a deep voice: "Speed up, and be prepared..."
…
Just as Crocodile thought, there was indeed a little problem in the palace.
But it shouldn’t be blamed on the Amber Tour Group.
The reason was that Weiwei, a naughty child, was running around in the palace with Wendy, Xia Lulu and Perona.
Weiwei climbed to the highest tower on a whim, and her friends naturally followed. Uncle Long, who loves to worry, was naturally worried about the children running to such a high place alone.
In the process of persuading them to go down, Uncle Long saw the king walking around alone in the palace.
It would be fine if he just saw him walking around in the palace. After all, he might be tired from dealing with government affairs and went for a walk. But the problem was that when the king saw no one around, he let himself go and did a swan dance.
Jackie Chan couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't help but ask: "Weiwei, your...father, does he like to dance ballet?"
"How is that possible?" Weiwei denied, "I have never seen him dance!"
"Is that so?" Jackie Chan remembered what Zhang Daye said about the imitation fruit, so he decided to hide in the tower with three little lolita and a little white cat to observe the king's actions.
Making a 'shh' gesture, Jackie Chan squatted down and let the railing block most of his body.
The little lolita imitated Jackie Chan's movements and lined up in a row, with only half of each person's head exposed.
After a while, Jackie Chan said: "Sure enough, something is wrong with the king."
Weiwei nodded heavily: "I secretly learned ballet! I must let him perform for me later!"
Jackie Chan:? ? ?
