Pirate's Swordsman

No wonder Kobra was so emotional.

After all, in his opinion, it didn't matter even if he died in the hands of Crocodile. As long as Weiwei, who was outside the royal capital, could survive, the blood of the Nephaluari royal family would not be cut off, and Alabasta The kingdom still has hope for reconstruction in the future.

What he never expected was that Weiwei, who had left the royal capital a few months ago, would quietly come back at this time.

"Because I can't just sit back and watch my father sink like this and give up the entire country without doing anything!"

Weiwei raised her head without any fear, stared into Kobra's eyes, and said word by word, "Such a father is definitely not the father I know. We, the Neferutari royal family, have never been cowards, right?"

"Vivi..."

Cobra's expression froze. He slowly let go of his hands holding his daughter's shoulders and said with a helpless smile: "I don't want to do something, but by now, it's already too late."

"It's not too late!"

Weiwei looked around and suddenly lowered her voice a bit: "Do you still remember Kousha?"

"Kosa?"

Cobra was slightly startled, "That childhood friend of yours, the guy who later became the leader of the rebel army?"

"Yes."

Weiwei whispered: "After my efforts to persuade him during this period, he has woken up and knows the true identity of Crocodile. Now he is rushing towards the royal capital with a large number of people under his command. Just one step later than me."

"But even so."

Cobra shook his head and sighed, "There is no way to fight against a guy like Crocodile. Don't forget, that guy is from the Shichibukai, and his strength is not at all like that of your friends..."

"How will you know if you don't try!"

Weiwei raised her head stubbornly, looked at Kobra and gritted her teeth: "Can you just sit here and wait for death? Even if you can't defeat that guy, with their support, plus Ikarem and the others, you can still escape. The royal capital, wait for the opportunity to take revenge later.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ikarem also hurriedly persuaded: "You can't hesitate any longer. If you continue to stay here, not only death will be waiting for you, but also a bad reputation that is difficult to wash away. Do you want the reputation of the royal family to be completely destroyed in Crocodile?" In your hand?"

These words touched Kobra's sore spot.

"This……"

He hesitated for a moment, and finally a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he said solemnly to Weiwei and Ikarem in front of him:

"Now that I've said that, let's start formulating a breakout plan now..."

…………

at the same time.

Directly opposite the palace, a few hundred meters away, Crocodile was standing on the roof, holding a phone bug in his hand and looking at the castle terrace in the distance with a leisurely expression.

"Hehehehe, it's such a touching father-daughter relationship."

Moria's strange laughter came from the phone, "It seems that the princess has recruited some foreign aid and is preparing to cause some trouble today. What do you think, Crocodile, how about I send some people?" Go and get rid of them?"

"no need."

Crocodile bit his cigar and sneered:

"They are just fleas that don't know the heights of the world. They can't make any waves. You continue to hide in the castle and keep an eye on Kobra and the others. Just follow the original plan."

"It's up to you."

Moria also seemed not to care much about the rebels. He rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled:

"Hehehehe, speaking of which, after today's ceremony is over, should I change your title to you, huh? King of Alabasta, His Majesty Crocodile?"

"Let's make fun of this kind of thing

Forget it, the throne is just a springboard. You and I both know what the real purpose of our joining forces is. "

Crocodile said calmly. He hung up the phone, raised his watch, glanced at the time, and then said in a deep voice: "It's almost time. How about it? Are the people ready?"

"More than 50,000 people have already poured into the royal capital."

From the shadows behind her, a slim figure exuding a mysterious and intellectual aura walked out. It was Robin. She chuckled and said:

"There is almost no need for us to deliberately guide you. It seems that they can't wait to see you judge Kobra and become the new king of Alabasta."

"Hahaha, in that case, let's get started!"

Crocodile threw his head back and laughed. His lower body turned into sand and flew towards the street in the distance. He gave an instruction to Robin who stayed where he was:

"Plan Z is almost completed, now you are ready to execute Plan K!"

"Yes, boss."

Robin's heart trembled, but his expression remained calm. He leaned slightly towards Crocodile's back as he flew away.

The so-called plan [Z] refers to using the ability of the Shadow Fruit to create a large number of zombies with the cooperation of Crocodile and Moonlight Moria, completely stigmatizing the royal family, and seizing the throne.

As for Plan [K], only she and Crocodile knew it... The purpose of this plan was to secretly attack Moria and get rid of this former partner after it was completed.

This was a plan two years ago. How could anyone else sleep peacefully under the bed? With Crocodile's character, he would never tolerate a strong man of the same level coveting a legendary weapon like Pluto with him. , not even allies who have been conspiring together for two years.

After Crocodile's figure disappeared, Robin stood up straight again. She looked at the castle in the distance that looked particularly majestic in the morning light, and remained silent.

When will this kind of day end...

She had a complicated look on her face, and after a few minutes passed, she sighed softly, turned around and disappeared into the shadows again.

…………

On the widest street in the royal capital.

"Look, it's Master Crocodile!"

"Have you finally waited for this day? Will you soon see that hateful tyrant Kobra sentenced to death..."

"And that bastard Moonlight Moria, I heard that he has been besieged in the royal city. As long as the general attack is completed, he will never be able to escape!"

"Long live Lord Crocodile!"

…………

Amid the roaring welcome of the residents of Albana, Crocodile stood on the carriage with a coat on his face and a smile on his face. He would say hello to the people around him from time to time, causing a crowd of girls to scream. .

"A bunch of idiots..."

Crocodile seemed to be enjoying all this, but he snorted coldly in his heart, full of sarcasm.

In just two or three years, he completely destroyed the hundreds of years of reputation of the Nephaluli royal family, and packaged himself as the savior of the country in the eyes of the people.

It doesn't matter whether it's a lie or stupid. Without the cooperation of this group of brainless fools, he would never have been able to carry out the plan to such perfection in such a short period of time.

"Shut up!"

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the Baroque Studio agent in front, dressed as a coachman, lowered his voice and said to the back:

"Boss, there seems to be someone blocking the road ahead."

Ok?

Crocodile frowned, stopped greeting the people, and turned to look towards the front of the street.

I saw a figure in the middle of the broad street. It was a handsome, tall, black-haired young man. Seeing him turn his head, he looked at him with a half-smile.
