Chapter 566: The situation is difficult to reverse, a new path! (Two in one)

"Warship? Why did the navy come to the Kingdom of Alabasta?"

"What's going on? What happened?"

On the coast of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the warship led by Zefa was heading towards the coast quickly. The people busy in the harbor saw the warship flying the seagull flag in the distance, and their faces showed curiosity.

Ordinary people are blocked from information, and most people don't know that the ruler of the Kingdom of Alabasta has already been replaced.

Crocodile is a smart man. He will not easily expose himself to the public. When he usurped the administrative power of the kingdom, he also introduced many people in front of the stage.

The Nephite clan, which originally ruled this country, was only imprisoned by Crocodile and became his puppets for remote control of the regime.

Cobra is a wise king, but such a person also has his own weaknesses.

The Nephite clan has only one direct bloodline, that is, the daughter of King Cobra, named Fifi. If Cobra cannot give birth to other heirs, Nephite D. Fifi will be the legal heir of this kingdom.

Crocodile easily captured this wise king with the life of Cobra's daughter.

As the warship entered the harbor, the sails were quickly folded by the navy on the ship. Zefa stood at the bow and glanced at the prosperous harbor with a solemn look on his face.

The port of the Kingdom of Alabasta is very large. The port where the warship docked happened to be a bay. The sea area was densely packed with large and small ships of various sizes. The ships were of different styles, and the signs and flags hung were also colorful, obviously belonging to different countries and forces.

If it was just agricultural trade, the port of the Kingdom of Alabasta would probably not be able to show such a prosperous scene.

It can be seen that the arms smuggling business in this country has been very large, and its reputation may have resounded throughout the underground forces.

"The quartermaster, take people to the island to purchase the supplies we need."

"Others, without my order, are not allowed to disembark."

Zeffer had no intention of going to the island. After giving instructions to his subordinates behind him, he turned around and returned to the cabin.

He didn't want to make the various forces on the island panic because of his appearance. Yuichi had already informed him on the phone that he would come to the Kingdom of Alabasta to check the situation here. Although Yuichi didn't say anything clearly on the phone, with Zeeffer's wisdom, he could naturally guess some of Tsugakushi Yuichi's intentions.

In this regard, Zeeffer didn't intend to interfere with Tsugakushi Yuichi's decision.

Before Tsugakushi Yuichi arrives, let this country keep running like it is now.

"Yes!"

After receiving Zeeffer's order, the quartermaster on the ship ordered more than a dozen people to go to the island. As soon as these navy men got off the ship, they were quickly secretly monitored by various forces.

The information about the navy going to the island was also spread wildly among some people. Soon, almost all the underground forces on the island got the information about the navy going to the island.

Everyone was on guard against the arrival of the navy. They naively thought that the navy was completely ignorant of what happened on the island and tried to cover up the truth of the island in their own ways.

When everyone focused their attention on Zefa's warship, Kuzan had already entered the palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta with the captives.

It was a hot summer day with the scorching sun in the sky.

The palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta was shrouded in a layer of ice fog, and an ice palace was looming in the ice fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

The people on the street didn't know what happened in the palace. They just stood on the street and pointed at the wonders in the distance, with confusion and surprise on their faces.

In the palace, Kuzan didn't want to carefully identify who was trustworthy and who was not.

The moment he arrived at the palace, he used his ability to freeze the entire palace. Everyone in the palace became ice sculptures under the influence of Kuzan's ability. After doing all this, Kuzan took out the photos of King Cobra and his family from his arms and gave them to Ace, Sabo and others, asking them to lead Luffy to search the room and carefully identify the target they were looking for.

As for Kuzan himself, he sat down on the steps in front of the hall with his captives, quietly waiting for the results of Ace's search.

"Brother Kuzan, found it!"

As Ace's low cry came, Kuzan, who had always been expressionless, finally showed a little smile.

"Hehehe."

"Aokiji, do you think that if you capture me and release Cobra, you can make the Kingdom of Alabasta return to its original state?"

"Even if you capture me, it will be useless."

"This country has changed. Even if Cobra regains power, those who have tasted the sweetness will not go back to being farmers."

"They can no longer be satisfied with the profits of agricultural products."

"Without me, Cobra can't run this country."

"The Kingdom of Alabasta has become a city of sin beyond the control of the World Government!"

Seeing that Aokiji's goal has been achieved, Crocodile finally couldn't hold back his emotions and sneered at Kuzan.

He is not Kuzan's opponent, and now he has become a prisoner of the navy, but Crocodile does not think he has lost, nor does he want to see the joyful expression on Kuzan's face because of completing the task.

Even if I get caught, I will never let the navy be proud!

"?!"

"How could that be? Cobra is a wise king, and the Kingdom of Alabasta has been developing well under his leadership."

"The Nefert family has been operating in this country for a hundred years and is very popular among the people. You know this very well, don't you?"

"Otherwise, you will not just imprison them."

"You are also afraid that killing Cobra will make things out of control. With his reputation, the moment he reappears in front of the people, the Kingdom of Alabasta will naturally get back on track."

The mission was completed, and Kuzan was in a good mood at this time. Facing Crocodile's ridicule, his emotions did not fluctuate.

"Although I haven't really understood what the living standards of the people are like under your rule."

"But my personal experience tells me that the security in this country is not good."

"It should be thanks to you."

"After all, only a few people can make profits from your business, and our navy is responsible for the majority of people."

Kuzan is not a fool. He can also figure out what Crocodile is thinking about now.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Crocodile's arms business has woven a huge network of interests, which almost covers all the nobles of this country.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed very difficult for Cobra to change the policy after he returns to power.

But difficulty does not mean that it cannot be done. Kuzan believes that Cobra has such ability.

After all, their navy will never allow countries like Alabasta to produce arms privately.

Kuzan's confidence also comes from the strength of the navy headquarters.

"Hehe. Let's see."

"How long can the King Cobra you mentioned stay in that position?"

"The nobles can do anything to continue to obtain wealth and ensure their lives."

"Oh! That's right!"

"As an admiral of the navy, aren't you very clear about this?"

"Hehe, those 'celestial dragons' just don't live in the holy land."

"Hearing you say that your navy is for the majority of people, I'm actually trying to restrain myself and not let myself laugh."

A tyrant like Crocodile, who is full of ambition, sees things much more clearly than ordinary people.

In his eyes, there is no difference between nobles and nobles, and there is actually no difference between nobles and pirates.

It's just that the methods of dealing with ordinary people are slightly different. Nobles can use their status and privileges in a dignified manner, while pirates are just carrying the reputation of 'evil' and using their fists to grab benefits.

Crocodile's words made Kuzan fall into silence. He didn't say anything more. After turning around, they soon came to a side hall.

This was a beautifully decorated room. Although the gold and oil paintings that decorated the room were frozen by Kuzan's ability, it was still clear that the furnishings in the room were valuable.

Although it was located in a side hall, the area of ​​this room was not small. The big bed occupied one-third of the entire space, and a small arch separated the inside and outside of the room.

Kuzan and others pushed the door open and entered. What caught their eyes was an open window. There was a desk in front of the windowsill, and there were two human-shaped ice sculptures, one standing and one sitting in front of the desk.

Kuzan waved his hand at Ace's call and withdrew his ability. After the ice melted, the middle-aged man and the girl in front of the desk looked at each other, and both of them showed confusion in their eyes.

Cobra was the first to notice the other people in the room, and quickly protected Vivi behind him. He looked at Kuzan, Crocodile and others with vigilance. When he noticed Ace and Luffy, Cobra's eyes moved, and his vigilance relaxed a little. Then he focused his eyes on Kuzan and looked at him carefully.

"Crocodile, who are these guys and why are they here?"

Cobra only felt that Kuzan in front of him looked familiar, but he did not recognize him for a while. He looked past Kuzan and looked at Crocodile behind Kuzan.

"I am the admiral of the navy, Aokiji."

"The headquarters received news about the Kingdom of Alabasta and sent me to rescue you."

Kuzan showed a gentle smile on his face. He could feel Cobra's vigilance in his heart and comforted him with such words.

"Admiral of the navy?!"

Hearing Kuzan introduce himself, Cobra hesitated for a few seconds before connecting the young man in front of him with the admiral in the photo.

After taking a look at Crocodile, who had been standing behind Aokiji and remained silent, Cobra finally showed a surprised smile on his face.

While Cobra and Kuzan were talking, young Vivi stared at the strangers who appeared in her room with big eyes.

She was still young, and Cobra had never told his daughter what happened in the kingdom.

Until now, Vivi didn't know what happened, nor did she understand why these strangers appeared in her room.

"Navy."

Vivi's eyes fell on Ace and Sabo. This was her first time seeing the navy, but she didn't expect that there were children of her age in the navy.

Vivi, with her eyes full of curiosity, also attracted the attention of Ace and others. When she noticed that the boys were looking at her, Vivi lowered her head and felt ashamed of her rudeness just now.

Seeing this, Ace smiled kindly, then retracted his gaze and boasted proudly to his two brothers: "I won! I found the person first! Hahaha!"

King Cobra was rescued. With his help, Kuzan quickly arrested a series of nearly 100 pirates. Because the number of captives was too large, the prison on Kuzan's ship this time was not big enough. After a brief exchange with Kuzan, he decided to temporarily detain these people in his own country's prison.

At the same time, Kuzan also sent a message to the headquarters, asking Jiguoyuan to send people to receive these criminals.

For safety reasons, Kuzan did not leave immediately after imprisoning these criminals. Instead, at Cobra's invitation, he decided to stay in the palace for a while and wait for the escort team to arrive.

This great change that overturned the entire Alabasta Kingdom was easily resolved with the efforts of Kuzan and others.

The gentle sea breeze blew on Yoriichi's face. Yoriichi Tsugakuko, who stood on the bow of the warship, held the railing with both hands and looked into the distance.

The port of the Kingdom of Alabasta has appeared in Yoriichi Tsugakuko's sight. Looking at the prosperous and lively port bay in the distance, Yoriichi couldn't help but touch his chin, revealing a little surprise.

With the spread of his observation Haki, Yoriichi Tsugakuko could feel the joy of the busy people on the port.

Live and work in peace and contentment? !

If it weren't for Kuzan's personal account of the dark side of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Yoriichi Tsugakuko's first impression of Crocodile might have been very good.

Crocodile is a capable person, this is undeniable.

"Marshal, the Kingdom of Alabasta is ahead."

"The Crocodile you want to see is temporarily imprisoned in the Kingdom's prison, and Admiral Kuzan is in charge of guarding it."

"I will bring him to you as soon as possible after we get to the island."

Beside Tsugokuni Yoshiichi, the flying squirrel reported with a serious face.

"After we get to the island, I will go to the prison to see him first."

"If he is useless, there is no need to bring him back to the Navy Headquarters."

"It's a waste of food."

Tsugokuni Yoshiichi shook his head slightly. Although the smile on his face was gentle, the words he said made the flying squirrel feel cold.

There was no murderous intent, but the flying squirrel could clearly feel an indescribable sense of oppression from Tsugokuni Yoshiichi.

It's not that the flying squirrel felt the breath emanating from Tsugokuni Yoshiichi.

This is the sense of oppression from power, a feeling that the flying squirrel has in his heart.

When he first saw the scene of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Tsugokuni Yoshiichi had already made plans for the future of this country.

The Navy Headquarters now needs a large amount of weapons, and the Kingdom of Alabasta should be able to take on this "business".
