I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

Great route.

Alabasta.

In the pirate world, there is no existence that can be called a continent except the Red Earth Continent.

The rest are all islands, large and small.

Therefore, despite the existence of a large number of countries, in fact most of them are just islands, and may not even be comparable to a county in Sean's previous life.

No matter the size, or the population!

For example, the Goa Kingdom, the richest in the East China Sea, has only one city and a population of tens of thousands, not counting the surrounding villages.

This is not an exception, but the norm throughout the world.

Usually, the population of these kingdoms does not exceed one million, and those with more than one million can definitely be regarded as big countries.

As for Alabasta...

In addition to the capital Albana, it also has the trading hub Yuba, the dream city Yuba, the port city Eruma, the oasis city Rainland in the west, and cities such as Rapeseed and Katamarisk in the east.

The total population is 2000 million people!

A proper superpower!

However, Alabasta's environment limits its development because it is a desert country.

Unlike the desert tycoons in Sean's previous life, Alabasta in One Piece is relatively poor.

Although it is not the poorest country in One Piece, it is definitely not among the rich countries.

In recent years, Alabasta has gradually become chaotic.

The long-term absence of rain has made life even more difficult in this country, which is already short of water.

Especially during this time, there have been various rumors in the country, saying that the lack of rain is because King Kobra used dancing powder, which caused a long-term drought across the country.

To be honest, Sean is really convinced by these rebels.

What is a dancing fan?

According to the description in the original book, this thing is equivalent to trapping rainwater in the downwind area.

Therefore, once dancing powder is used, neighboring countries located downwind or other cities in the country will suffer from drought due to lack of rain.

The relationship between dancing fans has led to many wars between countries, and since then, the World Government has banned the manufacture, possession, and use of this thing.

But the question is, is the capital Albana also suffering from drought?

On the contrary, it was Crocodile's hometown, the Rain Land, and it was raining non-stop.

So instead of suspecting Crocodile, these people suspected Kobra?

How else to say...

Are civilians easily deceived?

In short, although Alabasta now has not reached the point where it will be two years later, chaos has begun to appear.

Due to dissatisfaction with King Kobra, a rebel army has now been formed and is small-scale.

According to the latest news, the number of people has exceeded 10,000, and their base is located in Cattleya.

Cobra knew this news.

To be honest, it would be very easy if he sent troops to suppress it at this time.

Alabasta is different from other kingdoms. It has hundreds of thousands of royal troops. It can be said that it is easy and enjoyable to fight against a civilian rebel army that has just reached 10,000 people and lacks weapons and equipment.

But Kobra didn't take action, he relented!

And it is because of this soft-heartedness that in the original work, two years later, the size of the rebel army reached millions.

In the end, whether it was the king's army, the rebel army, or ordinary civilians who did not participate, all suffered heavy casualties.

The entire country lost more than 10% of its population due to this turmoil.

Moreover, the city was heavily damaged and the economic losses were immeasurable.

Therefore, a king who cannot be ruthless at critical moments will not be a good king.

Just kindness.

It may lead to consequences ten times or a hundred times worse.

Albana.

Royal Palace!

Kobra held a document and frowned slightly.

This document was sent by Ikarim just now, and the content above is...

News from the 16th Naval Branch.

"Ekalem, is this news from Sean Campbell true?"

In Cobra's mind, Crocodile is still the hero of Alabasta.

But the news from Sean was completely opposite.

Far from being a national hero, Crocodile is the driving force behind the current chaos in Alabasta.

"King, I think it's probably true!"

"How to say?"

"First of all, the Shichibukai are still pirates in essence, but Crocodile's performance... is almost like a saint."

Without asking for anything in return, he protected Alabasta from pirate attacks.

Isn't this a saint?

But the problem is, this guy is a pirate, and he suddenly turned into a saint. It’s a bit strange anyway, right?

To say that Crocodile had no intentions, I wouldn't believe it even if Ikarim was killed.

"But if all this is true, then what exactly does he want to get?"

"King, have you forgotten about Dressrosa?"

......

......

After being stunned for a long time, Kobra still shook his head.

Then he looked at Ikarem.

"Since Major General Sean said that he will arrive in ten days, I will wait until I talk to him about this matter, but the other thing he said, you can make arrangements then!"

"Yes, King!"

Ikarem nodded.

At the same time, I am also very curious, who is this Monkey D. Luffy?

Although Morgans had previously reported on the affairs between the Sixteenth Branch and the Revolutionary Army, and pointed out that it was the biological son of a pirate that Dorag rescued, he did not say the name of the pirate.

In addition, Luffy currently has no bounty on his head, so Ikarem didn't have any impression after seeing the name.

It can be seen from the way Sean expressed the news that his main target was this Luffy, but Crocodile's matter was only dealt with incidentally.

This made him even more curious.

However, in any case, since the Navy has made a request, this request is not excessive.

Just confirm Luffy's location and track and monitor Sean before he arrives.

Then Alabasta naturally has no reason to refuse.

"By the way, where is Weiwei? I can't see her lately."

"King, Princess Weiwei has left the palace!"

"Huh? Why are you going out again? What is she doing recently?"

"Well...Princess Weiwei has gone out to inspect the lives of the people. Bell and the others will follow. There will be no danger."

"Nonsense! Doesn't she know how chaotic it is now? Someone bring her back immediately!"

"Yes, King!"

------

Half an hour later.

Ikarem came to a house in Albana.

"Princess, His Majesty is already asking about your whereabouts. He really can't hide it anymore. He even ordered you to be brought back to the kingdom immediately."

"No, I have found some clues, I must not give up at this time!"

"Clues, princess, what did you find?"

“Baroque Works!!!”

Weiwei said seriously.

"All the recent events in Alabasta, including the rebels, have the shadow of Baroque Studio, and I suspect that the president of Baroque Studio is...Shichibukai Crocodile!"

"Hiss... Then let's tell the king quickly..."

"No, my father won't believe it without evidence. He always thought Crocodile was the hero of Alabasta!"

"Well...there's actually something you don't know yet, princess."

"what's up?"

Weiwei was stunned.

And Ikarem quickly told the news that Sean had sent.

"Really?"

"Really, and I think that since Major General Sean said this, he should have some evidence. I don't know exactly who Su Ri'an is, but he will arrive in ten days... So I suggest you, Princess, first Don’t worry, we’ll talk about everything in ten days!”

"Okay then, let's go back first. If there is still no result after ten days, I want to personally sneak into the Baroque Working Group to find the clues!"

......

You are a princess!

How can a princess of any country go undercover?

If the king found out about this, wouldn't he be angry to death?

Ikarem was completely stunned, and when he came to his senses, Weiwei had already pushed the door open and walked out.

"Your Highness, wait for me!"
