The Pirate of the Void Throne

Rebel base.

People come and go, and there are many tents.

Kosha and Eric walked side by side, discussing the situation in Alabasta.

"Kosa, the king took it upon himself to beat civilians and openly admitted to using dancing powder."

"The situation in Alabasta has become chaotic again. Now no one can save Alabasta except us..."

Eric looked at Kosha with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Kosha sighed softly and said:

"Wait, now is not the time."

Of course he knew Eric's intention to start a war and save the country, but the facts would only plunge Alabasta into a state of dire straits.

Kosha's answer made Eric fall silent and said nothing more.

More and more people are joining the rebel army every day. If you wait for a while, the hope of victory will be greater.

at this moment,

A burst of noise suddenly came from a distance, and the two people heard it and ran away.

Eric said softly,

"That's the Recruitment Department there. I guess there's no big problem. Someone should join us again..."

But before he finished speaking, a louder sound rang out, which made Eric frown.

"Let's go and have a look."

Kosha said.

Eric nodded, and the two of them walked quickly towards the recruiting place.

The entrance to the recruitment department was filled with soldiers and patrols, all of whom stretched their heads and looked inside.

Seeing the figures of Kosha and Eric, everyone immediately moved out of the way and gave a respectful military salute.

Kosha nodded in response and said solemnly: "What happened."

A young soldier in charge of recruiting ran over and reported:

"Mr. Kosha, there is a special man here... who wants to join the army."

special person?

Kosha noticed that the young soldier's eyes were slightly red, so he opened the tent and walked in without asking any more questions.

But the moment he stepped into the tent, he was stunned.

It was a little boy about eight or nine years old.

The clothes on his body were ragged and covered with patches of various colors.

His young face was dirty and his hair was as messy as weeds.

But he stood very straight, holding a crumpled document in his hand, and repeated to the staff with a stubborn face:

"I want to apply to join the army."

The staff saw this and said helplessly,

"But you are only nine years old, not old enough to enlist in the army."

The child ignored it and still gritted his teeth and said:

"I want to apply to join the army."

His young face showed a stubbornness and determination that was inconsistent with his age.

Kousha was startled for a moment, then walked forward quickly and half-crouched down.

"Kid, I won't want you here."

"Don't come here again and go home quickly, otherwise your parents will be worried."

The child still shook his head, and handed the crumpled document in his hand to Kosha.

Kosha took it doubtfully, picked up the document and looked at it carefully, his pupils suddenly tightened.

Eric behind him also clenched his fists.

Because of this document, there are several death certificates.

The little boy's father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother are all among them.

The little boy looked at Kosha and said:

"All my relatives are here, no one will worry about me anymore."

"Can you let me join the team?"

The little boy's questioning voice echoed in his ears, but everyone present fell silent.

They didn't dare to look at the little boy, they just lowered their heads slightly, their eyes slightly red.

The air seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

A little dull.

Yes.

He is homeless and no one will worry about him anymore.

It's hard to describe the feeling of going through this kind of hardship at an age that should have been innocent and innocent.

Kosha could clearly see the causes of death of several people, and everything was clearly recorded on these death certificates.

Drought, lack of water, and wind and sand buried them.

A few simple words can easily destroy a happy family.

Only a lonely child is left, running here to join the army.

Presumably, he also wanted to defeat King Kobra, the "culprit", and restore peace to Alabasta.

Kosha calmed down his thoughts, looked like a child again, and said solemnly:

"Join us and you might die."

"I know." The child said.

Kosha was stunned, then suddenly laughed, straightened up and looked at the staff,

"Go through the formalities for him."

"But……"

Seeing Kousha like this, the staff quickly looked at Eric anxiously, hoping that he could dissuade Kousha.

However, Eric turned a blind eye.

Seeing that the staff seemed to want to say something else, Kosha directly waved his hand and said:

"Being able to have the consciousness to face death means that he is already an adult."

"If anyone has any objections, let them come to me. I don't think anyone wants their children to be homeless when they die."

"I will take care of this child."

With that said, Kosha reached out and rubbed the little boy's head, then strode out of the tent.

…………

Under a series of premeditated incitements by the Baroque Works Society.

There were constant conflicts between the rebel army and the king's army in Albana, and there were even some minor frictions, and a small-scale war broke out.

When a war breaks out, the injured are always ordinary people, so during this time, ordinary people's lives have become increasingly difficult.

right now,

The people of Alabasta are in chaos. On one side is the king who is robbing the rainwater regardless of the life and death of the people.

On the other side is a rebel army that is impoverished and made up of refugees.

If a war officially breaks out between the two sides, will the refugees win?

Or will the king with superior weapons and 60 regular troops win?

The people don't know all this. They just hope that the war will end as soon as possible.

then,

Many people have focused their attention on the national hero, Crocodile, hoping that Crocodile can stand up and point out the way forward for them who are confused.

In the eyes of the citizens of Alabasta, Crocodile is their hero and the defender of their country.

Constantly risking his life to defeat the invading pirates and protect the peace and prosperity of Alabasta.

This makes more and more people begin to believe in Crocodile and believe that Crocodile can lead them forward.

Although Crocodile didn't say anything when the conflict between the king's army and the rebel army deepened, he spoke with facts and executed the recently captured pirates, which made people's hearts turn towards him. Directions converge.

"The king deals with the enemy, and I deal with the pirates. We are both people who love this country!"

This sentence, which Crocodile often said, was even used as a famous saying by the people and was recited everywhere.

Oasis Rain Feast.

A group of people gathered near the luxury casino that looked like a pyramid.

They held Crocodile's flag and shouted loudly.

"Long live Lord Crocodile."

"Heroes of Alabasta, the suffering people need your rescue."

They shouted with all their strength, firmly believing in the name of the hero.

Gradually,

The sun sets and the sky becomes dark.

This sunset, people regard it as dawn.
