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

"Further ahead is Alabasta, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Now all the pirates in the world are concentrated in the first half of the Grand Line and within the four seas. Except for the New World, the sea area around Alabasta is relatively stable."

On a merchant ship, the captain sighed.

The crew members nearby also nodded.

Not only did the number of pirates increase, but more importantly, their strength also became stronger.

Because a large number of powerful pirates who once roamed the New World are now in the first half of the Grand Line and within the four seas.

In the past, although there were pirates, they could also hire some more capable people to set off with the ship.

but now...

Hire some shit...

Can you hire a guard stronger than the New World Pirates?

Therefore, every voyage is like gambling, betting that you will not encounter those powerful pirates.

It was as if the BOSS had entered the novice village, causing them unspeakable misery.

However, there is a paradise in the first half of the great route, and that is...

Alabasta, and the waters surrounding Alabasta.

Even pirates from the New World would not dare to run wild here.

After all, Alabasta itself has a powerful fleet second only to the New World Navy, and it has hundreds of thousands of troops, but in terms of numbers, it is simply more than the navy.

Of course, if it were just like this, it wouldn't make those pirates afraid.

You know, once you reach the superhuman level mentioned by Lu Qi, the number of ordinary people will be meaningless.

What really scares them...

It’s the relationship between Alabasta and the New World Navy!

These pirates who escaped from the New World know better than anyone else the terror of Sean and the New World Navy.

It was so hard to escape...

Besides, the world is such a big place, so there’s really no need to go to Alabasta to cause trouble.

Just in case...

The strong men of the New World Navy happened to be there, or were they called to support?

After all, it's no secret that Sean has a person with abilities who can teleport through space...

And precisely because of this, the waters around Alabasta are very stable.

Even the rookie pirates who occasionally had a strong head were quickly wiped out by the Alabasta Navy.

------

We are about to enter the waters of Alabasta.

All the crew members became relaxed and chatted about where they would go to relax after landing.

But at this moment...

"Captain, the Kingdom of Alabasta Navy is spotted ahead!"

The crew on the watchtower shouted loudly down below.

However, the captain didn't care.

In the waters of Alabasta, Alabasta naval warships appeared. Isn't that normal?

Moreover, the Alabasta Navy has always had a good reputation since its establishment, and has never been reported to have done any evil deeds.

Even in the past few months, there was a saying in the sea, that is...

On the sea, meeting the warships of the Alabasta Navy is more reassuring than meeting the warships of the headquarters navy!

It can also be seen from this how good the reputation of Alabasta's navy is on weekdays.

"Captain, the other party has issued a signal and wants us to stop the ship immediately for inspection!"

"Stop the ship for inspection? Are you sure it is the Royal Navy of Alabasta?"

"Yes, Captain, apart from the New World Navy, only Alabasta has a lot of equipment for this kind of steel battleship..."

"Okay then, reef the sails!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, the entire merchant ship became busy.

After all, it would be very troublesome for the sailing ship to stop.

Those sails alone took quite a few people to work on and took a long time to furl.

------

There were three battleships. Judging by their size, they should be a destroyer and two frigates.

At this moment, the destroyer had completed docking with the merchant ship.

Immediately, an officer from the Kingdom of Alabasta Navy came to the merchant ship with a group of fully armed soldiers.

"Sir, this is a document proving that we are merchants, not pirates!"

"No need to explain, I have checked the information about your ship and it is indeed a legitimate merchant ship."

"That..."

"Although there is no problem with the ship, haven't you received the news or read the newspaper?"

"We were chased by a group of pirates for a month, and we finally escaped, so..."

"So that's the case, no wonder!"

The officer nodded.

After all, they had been fleeing all the way, had not stopped at any island, and had no time to buy newspapers from Newsbird.

It's normal if you don't know.

"Since three days ago, Alabasta has announced an emergency lockdown to the world. No ships are allowed to enter or exit Alabasta waters."

"So, you can't continue to Alabasta, quickly find an island to resupply!"

what...

Alabasta locked down?

The captain was confused...

"What should we do? We have been chased by pirates before, so we never came to the shore to resupply. Now that the fresh water is exhausted and there is not much food left, there is no way we can support ourselves to the next island..."

The captain was almost crying.

If they are not allowed to go to Alabasta for supplies, doesn't that mean they are sentenced to death?

Die of thirst! !

starve! !

Hearing what the captain of the merchant ship said, the officer also waved.

Immediately, a group of soldiers arrived on the merchant ship with a large amount of fresh water and food.

Obviously, the officer has dealt with similar matters many times in the past few days, and the whole process is extremely proficient.

"These should be enough for you to get to the next island."

"Thank you, I really appreciate it. I wonder how long Alabasta will be locked down?"

"I don't know about this either!"

The officer shook his head.

He really didn't know.

Soon, the two ships separated, and the three warships did not leave again until the merchant ship left Alabasta waters.

However, within a few minutes, they received another contact from China, informing them...

About 25 nautical miles away from their current position, another ship is sailing into Alabasta waters, and they need to deal with it immediately!

------

Similar things now happen hundreds of times every day in the waters of Alabasta.

Even though three fleets were dispatched, they were still very busy.

This is because Violet is monitoring the situation and providing accurate information in a timely manner.

Otherwise, even if three more fleets are added, the entire sea area will not be completely blocked.

And at the same time...

The great migration within Alabasta has also begun.

Except for the population of Albana, people from all other cities, towns, or village chiefs were all moving towards Albana under the command of the king's army.

As for people arriving in Albana...

He was arranged by the king's army over there and headed north of the royal capital.

Afterwards, these people never came back...

Never appeared!
