Pirates of the Void Swordsman

Over the past two years,

The sun has been scorching the earth, evaporating the little water in Alabasta. All the people are looking forward to a timely rain visit.

Water is the hope and source of life. Without the nourishment of water, all life will dry up and die.

The few trees in Alabasta are all withered and yellow.

These lives that are about to dry up, hang their heads in the hot Alabasta, dying, struggling on the edge of death,

Just like people who are short of water, praying for a sweet rain to fall.

at last,

A rain falls from the sky. Bathed in the embrace of this rain, the dry trees and plants are washed away by the rain and injected with energy.

Nianyan's life was refreshed by this nectar, and he regained his energy.

A few sunflowers who couldn't stand their loneliness showed bright smiles. These plants sucked in the sweetness and reveled in the rain!

"Haha, that's great!!"

"It's raining, it's raining!!"

“The rain has not abandoned Alabasta!!!”

"We are finally saved!!"

"Long live Alabasta, long live Alabasta!!!"

this moment,

People all over Alabasta were excited.

all of them,

They all ran outside excitedly, stepped on the wet ground, breathed in the fresh and cool air, and came to the streets to party.

Today's long-awaited rain has made people bid farewell to drought and death.

People enjoy the sounds of nature to their heart's content, and gain peace of mind and relaxation of body and mind.

For the people of Alabasta, this is what happiness feels like.

They don't understand any conspiracy, nor do they understand the wars between big figures behind their backs.

All they know is that now the rain has come, and Alabasta has bid farewell to drought,

They can survive...

Ordinary people’s wishes are always so simple and simple,

They just want to live peacefully and peacefully, living an ordinary life every day...

People stood, thought, and soaked in the rain, and their bodies felt a little swaying, as if they were alive.

People's emotions are inspired and their hearts are enchanted.

Right now,

Huge cheers came from all over Alabasta, as if this dead country had been re-injected with vitality and was filled with laughter for a while.

Excited people rushed to the streets one after another to join the carnival craze.

Some people gather together and share each other’s joy,

There are also several tavern owners who directly move beer barrels to the streets and invite people to drink to celebrate this great moment.

"Oh, it's raining~"

"Hiccup, we finally waited for the rain..."

"Hahaha, this rain is so beautiful!!"

The noise of children, the cheers of tavern owners, the deep whispers of people gathered together, and the cries of joy from many people.

"Look, Kosha..."

The skinny old man of Yuba put down the shovel in his hand, and tears of joy flowed from his tired eyes.

"I told you before,"

"Believe in the king, the rain will always come..."

He looked up at the sky and murmured to himself,

A smile of great relief and joy appeared on that wrinkled face.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The dense rain continued to fall, moistening the dry and cracked earth of Alabasta and diluting the bloodstains on the battlefield...

This rain washes away the dirt and purifies people's souls,

Two years of drought and fighting in Alabasta as rains fall

It’s finally over! !

In Piazza Albana,

All the rebels and the king's army have laid down their arms,

They raised their heads, raised their arms to embrace the sky, and burst out with huge cheers in the rain.

but……

At this moment when everyone was cheering, a few people holding telephone megaphones shouted loudly,

"Lord Crocodile is destined by destiny!!"

"This rain must be caused by Lord Crocodile!!!"

"Lord Crocodile is our patron saint of Alabasta!!!"

The man holding the phone bug loudspeaker shouted vigorously.

These sudden sounds reminded the soldiers of the rebel army and the king's army,

They were all stunned for a moment involuntarily,

There was a moment of silence in the air, and everyone fell silent.

then……

Everyone was excited again.

"Long live Lord Crocodile!!"

"Lord Crocodile, the hero of Alabasta!!!"

"Hero!! Hero!! Hero!!!"

Everyone raised their arms and shouted, the sound resounding throughout the sky.

In an instant,

The name of the hero Crocodile rang out again, and people shouted happily in the rain!

however,

They didn't know that the first few people who shouted loudly with the phone's loudspeaker had already left secretly.

Under the rolled-up sleeves of those people, a skeleton with two wings on its back and crossed swords was revealed, as if holding a pipa to half-cover its face, with a corner of it exposed.

"hero!!

"Hero!! Hero!!!"

"Hero!! Hero!! Hero!!!"

The cheers intensified and seemed endless.

People were partying in the rain all over the sky,

Excitedly thanking the hero Crocodile,

Little did they know, the real hero had already fallen...

Revelers, fallen heroes.

…………

at the same time,

Nico Robin is walking on the street,

She used the fruit's power to press King Kobra and walk towards the Burial Sacrifice Hall.

The Burial Ceremony Hall will soon arrive,

As a place dedicated to the ancestors of the Alabasta royal family, it is located next to the royal palace and is also the oldest building in Albana.

The exterior of the Burial Ceremony Hall is not very majestic, but it exudes majesty and solemnity.

This was Nico Robin's first time here, but the scene he saw was very shocking.

The shock does not come from the architecture, but from the atmosphere here, which is depressing and heavy.

At the top of the burial sacrificial hall, under the spire supported by four pillars, is the heroic monument to worship ancestors, on which are engraved the great Alabasta martyrs of each generation.

at this time,

As if he had a premonition of the disaster in Alabasta, the Monument of the Heroes also looked groggy.

Nico Robin quickened her pace and walked to the main text of history. She raised her hand and gently touched the huge stone tablet.

I don’t know how many years of weathering the stone tablet has gone through, but the writing is not blurry at all.

I don’t know how it was preserved, or the reason for the material of this stele.

While Nico Robin was reading the text of history, Kobra sat on the ground and took out a brick.

This is the destruction switch of the Burial Sacrifice Palace. Soon, the Burial Sacrifice Palace will collapse and destroy everything here.

But Nico Robin didn't notice it because she kept looking at the historical text in front of her.

Legend has it that in the history of this world, there was once a very glorious country, but it suddenly disappeared. After that, world governments and navies appeared one after another.

But this entire period of one hundred years has been erased from history, and no trace can be found at all.

Even as O'Hara, the gathering place of world knowledge, there is no record.

Today, only the stone monument in front of us records that lost history.

And Nicole Robin, the last remnant of O'Hara and the youngest doctor ever, is pursuing this historical text.

"This is……"

Looking at the words on the history text in front of her, Nico Robin exclaimed in surprise, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

But then, her face became depressed, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Damn it, why..."

She seemed to have lost the strength to support herself, and she lay down on the stone tablet. She kept hammering the stone tablet with her fists, and her body slowly slid down along the stone tablet and fell to the ground.

"It actually... really records Pluto...

"I just want to know the real history... Why is it so difficult?"

Nico Robin murmured to himself and fell to the ground as if he had lost his soul.

After seeing clearly the words on the history text, her dream was instantly shattered.

Because this does not record the real history, but records the location of the ancient weapon Pluto! !

Kosha didn't lie or deceive her.

"In this way, what Kosha said... is actually true..."

Nico Robin bit her lip. She had always been strong and calm, with tears silently left in the corners of her eyes.

bang...

Without any warning, the Burial Ceremony Hall suddenly began to shake. Pieces of gravel gradually fell from the roof, and it would not be long before it collapsed.

Nico Robin looked up, but her eyes were dull and there was no reaction.

Because she was already desperate in her heart, and she already had the idea of ​​dying here.

There was darkness ahead, and she couldn't see the road ahead.

She had too many enemies, and she felt a little tired.

Maybe... it's not bad to die here. No one in this world wants her to live anyway.

"Mr. Sauro, maybe I can't do it anymore..."

An extremely bitter smile appeared on Nico Robin's lips.

She no longer has the courage to live, and she will never meet the partner Mr. Sauro mentioned in her lifetime.

Thinking of this, Nico Robin silently closed her eyes and let herself end here with this funeral ceremony hall.

But the next moment,

A gentle voice suddenly echoed in my mind,

"It's not you that's wrong, it's the world!"

"We are the same kind of people, we can be partners..."

"I can help find historical texts, and I can also fulfill your dreams,"

"So...come and help me, I can understand you, and we can be partners..."

The words Kosha said suddenly appeared in Nico Robin's mind.

Kosha's smile is so sincere and warm.

Nico Robin was stunned,

It was as if a beam of light shone in, and the darkness in front of him suddenly brightened.

"turn out to be……"

"There are still people in this world who can identify with themselves..."

Nico Robin whispered to herself, she slowly opened her eyes, a glimmer of light lit up in her black eyes.

then,

As if remembering something, she suddenly stood up and ran out of the funeral ceremony hall.

He ran as fast as he could towards the place where Kosa and Crocodile were duel.

In the empty funeral hall, only King Kobra was left.

After Nico Robin ran out, the hand that had been pressing Kobra behind him disappeared.

King Kobra also regained his freedom...
