In the dark alley, a rickety old man leaning on crutches walked forward slowly. Although the distance was tens of meters, Princess Weiwei felt as if the blood in her whole body was frozen. The strong fear made her want to turn around and run away, but Unable to move his whole body, he watched helplessly as the stooped old man walked forward step by step.

"Princess Weiwei, the old man has been waiting here for a long time, why don't you go back with me!" The rickety old man's tone was very gentle and calm, without any abruptness or harshness, just like the kind old man on the street, but the aura exuding from his whole body, But it is like a prehistoric beast, ready to open its bloody mouth at any time and choose someone to devour.

Under the powerful aura full of oppression, Princess Weiwei's trembling arms wanted to hold the longbow on her shoulders, but her whole body was as heavy as lead.

Princess Weiwei knew very well that she had no chance in front of this terrifying guy.

This is a strong man at the same level as Arthur, but the old man in front of him will not hold back his breath. Fortunately, Princess Weiwei has been training rigorously during this period, and her combat effectiveness and psychological quality have greatly improved. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't even stand in front of the crooked old man.

Seeing the crooked old man getting closer and closer, Princess Weiwei's heart was suspended instantly. Once she was caught and killed, it would be fine. Princess Weiwei, who planned to fight Bernice and regain the royal power, was already ready to sacrifice, but once If he dies, all his efforts will be in vain. Bernice, who has no worries about the future, will definitely force the king to abdicate, and those supporters will undoubtedly die.

The strong unwillingness made Princess Weiwei's heart rise with anger, and suddenly she only heard a muffled groan.

The crooked old man approached with a cane, stopped in a little surprise, and looked meaningfully at Princess Weiwei's palm pierced by the arrow.

Blood continued to overflow from the wound, dripping down her wrist, and Princess Weiwei, who was full of determination, had broken free from the original pressure and regained her freedom.

The stooped old man bowed slightly, and his tone was a little more respectful: "As expected of Her Royal Highness Princess Weiwei, but with your wisdom, you should be very clear that you have no chance in front of this old man!"

"I will never allow you to steal the royal power, die!"

Before Princess Weiwei could finish her sentence, she quickly rushed to one side, took advantage of the opportunity to shoot an arrow with a bow, and quickly shot three deadly arrows at the crooked old man.

Under the guidance of Arthur, Princess Vivi, who is very talented in archery, has already mastered shooting moving targets, but the crooked old man seems to have no reaction, just standing in place without even moving his eyelids, the arrow piercing through the air The arrow made a screaming sound piercing the air, and just as it hit the rickety old man, the inconspicuous crutch lifted the arrow lightly and swept the arrow down.

Princess Weiwei who was shocked in her heart hurriedly backed away, ready to defend against the counterattack of the stooped old man, but he just stood there, as if falling asleep, and made no further movements.

Just when Princess Weiwei was puzzled, she suddenly found a familiar figure standing on the eaves not far away.

Clothes that move with the wind, deep eyes and elegant temperament, the person standing with hands tied is Arthur, who arrives at this critical moment of crisis.

"You'd better not do anything, old sir!" Arthur's tone was as calm as ever.

"As you wish, King Arthur!" The stooped old man let out a dry and piercing laugh, and slightly raised his head to look at Arthur on the eaves.

"Arthur. I." Thinking of leaving without saying goodbye, Princess Vivi said quickly, although it was a bit too much, but I hope Arthur will rescue the high-level rebels. Anyway, they will be the biggest reliance on defeating Bernice in the future, but if Vivi The princess knew that Arthur had prepared an army for her, and she didn't know how she would feel.

"Don't worry, they are fine, but there are still some troubles to be solved!" Arthur said first with a smile on his face.

Just as Arthur was speaking to Princess Vivi, a sharp black iron claw suddenly appeared in the midair behind Arthur. The speed was only a flash, and Arthur who was standing on the eaves was torn into pieces in an instant. debris.

"Arthur!!!" Princess Weiwei shuddered in her heart, and looked at the direction of the eaves in a sad state, not believing that all this was true.

The rickety old man leaning on crutches was overjoyed when he saw Arthur being wiped out, but soon he had an early warning. The crutches slammed into the ground, and a huge humanoid puppet crawled out from the ground. Its sturdy body was three meters high. Especially the steel-like muscles all over his body, full of terrifying power.

The huge humanoid puppet seemed to have noticed something, and let out a roar that shook the sky, and its whole body was filled with a crimson violent aura for a while.

Suddenly, a fierce waterspout came and hit the puppet with a bang. The puppet, which kept roaring, retreated slowly, and the flesh and blood of its whole body were constantly broken by the powerful force. With a dull sound, the puppet, which was originally like a steel giant, The puppet was instantly scattered by the waterspout.

The waterspout that broke the humanoid puppet did not dissipate, but continued to chase the stooped old man, and the irresolute old man raised his crutches emitting halo.

The powerful waterspout hits upwards in response, and the powerful air waves scatter in all directions. Many surrounding houses are reduced to rubble and fragments in the huge shock wave. Many soldiers of Bernice's army who are defending around have been killed before they can react. reduced to ashes.

After a while, the dust slowly cleared away, and the stooped old man said with a cold expression: "Arthur, from now on you will have a powerful enemy!"

"Unfortunately, you too!" Arthur responded indifferently.

"Don't forget, you are the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and you are also one of the Qiwuhai under the king," the stooped old man warned coldly, "If you make a move here, not only will you be deprived of the title of Qiwuhai, but the Eastern Zhou Empire will also be deprived of the title of Qiwuhai." You will be expelled from the world government, and you should understand the consequences!"

"So what should I do!" Arthur asked with a half-smile.

"It's very simple. If you hand over Princess Weiwei and leave the Kingdom of Alabasta, the new king, Bernice, will definitely let the past go, and will form an alliance with the Eastern Zhou Empire. I believe that this way, he will have more say in the world government!" Ricket The old man said persuasively.

Seeing Arthur's expressionless face, neither refuting nor agreeing, the stooped old man said while the iron was hot: "Of course, as a reward, we will provide each other with [-] female slaves and one billion Baileys as your reward, King Arthur. As long as you agree, We will pay half of the funds in advance, and give priority to business negotiations between the two parties!"

"Can you be the master?!" Arthur asked.

"Of course!" The stooped old man said with a haughty face, "Bernice is nothing but the old man's decision!" He seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to say so, and quickly changed his words.

But Arthur can already confirm that although Bernice is the so-called king of this country now, he is actually just a puppet, and the old man in front of him really has the right to speak.

"Arthur." The uneasy Princess Weiwei looked at Arthur, her heart was full of apprehension for a while, this condition is very attractive, especially for the Eastern Zhou Empire, it is more important than Princess Weiwei who has nothing, No guesswork would agree to this condition.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, of course my woman is more important than these benefits!" Arthur said jokingly.

"Who is your woman?" Princess Weiwei blushed and murmured shyly, but frankly speaking, Arthur was able to refuse such a huge benefit, and choosing to stand by her was really rare. It is easy to add icing on the cake to everything in the world, and there are only a handful of people who give charcoal in the snow.

The stooped old man's face suddenly turned ferocious. He had already realized that Arthur was playing tricks on him from the beginning, so he said in a cold voice from embarrassment: "Don't forget the consequences!"

Arthur said confidently first: "You mean what if the World Government knows? Don't worry, they won't do anything to me, let alone expel the Eastern Zhou Empire from the World Government seat!"

"Because as the emperor, I didn't attack the Kingdom of Alabasta. Naturally, it's not an invasion. Of course, this is why I won't enter the palace at night and directly pinch Bernice's neck. And you, as an outside force To help Bernice usurp power and treat him as a puppet, you must be the world government who wants to get rid of hidden dangers directly!"

"Arthur, you will regret it!" the old man said viciously.

"I never regret what I do, why don't we continue to gesticulate!" Arthur raised his finger at the crooked old man provocatively.

The crooked old man on crutches had bulging veins on his forehead, but it seemed that he had scruples and did not respond to Arthur's provocation.

"Let's go!" Arthur took advantage of the opportunity to pick up Princess Vivi, and galloped away towards the distance in a flash, and the crooked old man turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

"Are you okay, Arthur!" Thinking of Arthur's body being torn apart by the iron claws, Princess Weiwei still had lingering fears.

"I didn't expect Princess Weiwei to care about people!" Arthur said with a smile on his face.

"Ignore you! Idiot!" The pouting Princess Weiwei turned to the side, as if she was saying come and coax me.

"The old man just now is not simple. He will be the biggest obstacle for you to regain your royal power. I can help you, but you need a proof!" Arthur said suddenly, who was advancing quickly.

"What proof!?" Princess Weiwei asked hastily.

Suddenly Arthur fell down suddenly, and while standing firmly on the ground, he let go of Princess Vivi, pointed to the jungle not far away and said, "It's safe to get here, you go back as soon as possible, I still have things to do!"

Before Princess Vivi could speak, Arthur had already disappeared in front of her in a flash.

"You're so mad at me!" Princess Weiwei stomped her feet angrily, and suddenly she realized that her mood changed with Arthur. Could it be that Arthur was so important to her? Kind of situation!

"Impossible, I'm just grateful to him!" Princess Vivi shook her head, glanced at the direction Arthur left, and rushed into the jungle towards the cave.

Princess Weiwei has a strong premonition that the time to regain the royal power is coming. Although Arthur helps her, it is not known whether she will be able to succeed. The people of the Kingdom of Alabasta are still in dire straits, and now is not the time to love each other. .

After sending Princess Vivi to a safe place, Arthur moved forward quickly, and soon came to the outskirts not far from the royal city.

In a hidden cave, seeing Bell and Kosha who had just been rescued, Bell stepped forward to bow respectfully and gave a brief explanation to Arthur.

It turned out that when Arthur went to save Princess Vivi, Bell was also ordered to go to save her. Although Bell, who was praised by the sea god, had improved by leaps and bounds, the high-level rebels and the troops assembled around him dispersed in a hurry. Kosha.

Kosha, covered in blood, sat slumped on the ground, his mental state was very bad, and his slack eyes had long lost the courage of the past.

"You are Koza!" Arthur asked casually, but Koza, who was sitting on the ground, was in a daze, as if he didn't hear it at all.

"I know the whereabouts of Princess Vivi, she is safe and sound!" Arthur said calmly.

"Really? Where is Your Highness the Princess, tell me quickly!" Kosha stood up abruptly, full of eager questions.

"Compared with Princess Vivi's safety, I think you have more important things to solve!" Arthur's tone was still very calm, and he was infected by Kosha's emotions.

"That's right, that damned traitor! He killed a lot of good brothers!" Kosha, who was full of grief and indignation, trembled violently all over his body.

Arthur asked again: "Do you know who it is?" This question implied consideration.

"Brother Carl, Brother Albert, Lieutenant Colonel, Sister Laila, that annoying Hotham!" Kosha handed over the names of these people one by one in a low tone, and suddenly looked up at Arthur. , "I want revenge, please help me!"

"What benefits can I get!" Arthur looked like a businessman, planning to bargain.

"As long as you help Her Royal Highness Princess Weiwei regain the royal power, I am willing to do my best for you, King Arthur!" Kosha did not hesitate, and immediately showed his attitude.

"You really know me." A smile flashed across Arthur's face.

That's right, Kou Sha is smarter than he imagined, and his strategic awareness of the overall situation is very strong, and his love for the country is even more admirable, and the Eastern Zhou Empire needs such a person to inject fresh blood and absorb elites Working with the strong makes the country stronger. I believe that one day, the Eastern Zhou Empire will develop into a powerful empire that can compete with the world government. Arthur is looking forward to all of this.

In the prosperous area of ​​Wangcheng, a luxurious villa is surrounded by elite guards, and in the uniquely decorated hall, a person fidgets and walks back and forth.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a waitress said respectfully: "My lord, your food is ready!" But the voice of the waitress seemed a little strange.

The people in the room sighed and said casually, "Come in!"

The door opened, and a waitress with a knife across her neck came in full of fear under threat. The man with the knife hit him casually, and the waitress fainted to the ground with a muffled groan.

"Kousa, you're still here!" The people in the room were surprised at first, and then said with relief. Compared with the fear of being killed, they were obviously happier to see Kosha safe and sound.

"What last words do you have, Sister Leila!" Looking at the woman in luxurious clothes in front of him, the woman who loved him at the beginning, Kou Sha had mixed feelings for a while.

"Actually, I was originally a secret agent of the army. I sneaked into the rebel army to overthrow it, until I met you, so I hesitated!" Laila looked sad, "You know, Kosha, compared to death, the kind of living Suffering is more painful!"

"Do you know that you killed everyone!" Kou Sha suddenly became ferocious, and raised the sharp knife in his hand.

"I didn't want to, until you rejected me that day. I wanted to let them go, but Brother Carl and Hotham both fought to the death!" Laila's tone was full of apology.

"That kid Hotham really has a lot of backbone!" Kou Sha murmured.

"Do it yourself!" Kosha suddenly turned serious, and said to Laila.

Laila just looked at Kosha affectionately, as if she didn't hear his ultimatum, she just stood there and watched quietly.

Suddenly, Leila spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground weakly, looked at Kosha and said sadly, "I just want to hear you say one thing, just one sentence."

Kosha knew exactly what Laila wanted, but when she thought that she had killed everyone, he said angrily, "I only love Princess Vivi, Laila!"

After a while, Kosha, who came out of the house, said to Arthur and Bell who were standing outside the door: "King Arthur, when will we start the counterattack!"

"It won't be long, Koza!" Arthur responded calmly.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, and the calm before the war will not be long. A big war will start in the capital of the Alabasta kingdom. The shame of history has been left on the pillar of shame for thousands of years, history, this is the case!
