Pirates: I am Sukuna, killing people indiscriminately

"Oh, butler, what's the matter?"

"Lord Rody, just now the CP0 agent sent a message through the Den Den Mushi saying that the World Government has agreed to your request, Lord Rody,"

"It will take about three to four days to deliver the devil fruit, but the World Government hopes to announce it tomorrow that you have killed Crocodile and become the new Shichibukai." Butler Mike respectfully reported the news from CP0 to Rody.

"Oh, they agreed so quickly! After all, they have ruled the world for 800 years, so they must have a lot of powerful devil fruits left!" Although he was a little surprised that the World Government agreed to his request so quickly, Roddy just thought that this was the foundation that the World Government should have after ruling the world for 800 years.

But they forget that the animal-type devil fruits have their own will. As the most powerful and rarest mythical beast species in the animal type, they are more spiritual than ordinary animal-type devil fruits and will choose their own masters. Once the few devil fruits collected by the World Government are eaten by someone, it will be very difficult for the World Government to recover them even if it wants to.

"Okay, tell the World Government that I agree." Roddy nodded and agreed directly. Then he asked Mike to find Hot Wheels while he went to find Cobra, the king of Alabasta.

"Mr. Rody, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, Alabasta doesn't have to pay the 15 billion Beli. Just help us build a good ship," Rody affirmed.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Rody. Don't worry, we will use the best shipbuilding materials in Alabasta to help you build a good ship," Cobra assured Rody confidently.

"Captain, are you looking for me?" Hot Wheels walked into the meeting room where Roddy and Cobra were talking and asked puzzledly.

"Well, we are going to build a ship in Alabasta. By the way, Hot Wheels, do you know how to build ships?" Rody asked curiously.

"Hehe... Well, I know a thing or two about this," Hot Wheels smiled confidently.

"Oh, why is that?"

"I remember that your world of machine beasts doesn't have ship-type motorcycles, right?"

Roddy could understand that Hot Wheels could make cars. Although Hot Wheels was just a motorcycle, he lived in Time City, a place full of cars, and the motorcyclists around him were all car-type. He understood the structure of cars, so it was not surprising that he could make one.

It is understandable that they could manufacture helicopters and fighter jets, after all, there are helicopters and fighter jets in their motorcycle clan, and Hot Wheels has a good relationship with them. But Rody really doesn’t understand why they know how to build ships. In Rody’s memory, there are no robots like the Legend in the world of mechanical beasts.

"Hehe... Captain, as the second-in-command of the City of Time, I have learned a lot of knowledge about the motorcycle tribe in addition to fighting. In the history of our motorcycle tribe, there used to be ship-type robots, but they were destroyed a long time ago for unknown reasons," Hot Wheels said with some sadness.

However, Hot Wheels immediately regained his composure and said confidently, "Captain, in the knowledge passed down by the motorcycle tribe, there are many records of powerful weapons of ship-shaped robots. When the time comes, I will manufacture them and install them on the ship. Our ship will definitely become the most powerful ship in the world."

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to seeing the most powerful ship in the world!"

"Don't worry, Captain, I won't let you down," Hot Wheels patted his chest and assured Roddy.

"Okay, just tell King Cobra what materials you need, and he will fully cooperate with you."

"That's right, Lord Hot Wheels, just tell me what materials you need, and Alabasta will fully cooperate." Cobra was actually confused about the motorcycle tribe and the world of mechas that Hot Wheels and Roddy mentioned, but Cobra didn't care about those things. Anyway, as long as he fully cooperated with this robot named Hot Wheels, it would be fine.

After all the matters concerning shipbuilding were settled, Rody left the meeting room and went to the lounge to see how the three girls were chatting. When he opened the door of the lounge, he saw that they were all drinking tea leisurely and getting along quite harmoniously.

夜晚

In a spacious guest room on the upper floors of the royal palace, Rody was sitting in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window with a bottle of red wine on the small table next to him, looking at the night view of Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

After dinner, Vivi took Nami somewhere, but Rody was not worried. Vivi was now the user of the natural Sand-Sand Fruit, and no one in the entire Alabasta could pose a danger to Vivi except Rody.

So Rody could only stay in the room sipping red wine and watching the night view of the city alone, because Cobra had quelled the civil strife in Alabasta. Rody didn't know what the mentality of the people in other places was, but the people of the capital Albana, even on nights with a huge temperature difference between day and night, many people came out to celebrate and drink. The smiles on their faces were simple and sincere, as if they were full of hope for the future.

"Weak happiness, without the protection of strength, today's laughter may turn into desperate pain tomorrow"

Rody shook his head. As a huge kingdom that was overthrown together with Im 800 years ago, Alabasta has a vast territory and a large population. The royal family stores historical texts recording the location of Pluto, and its history of existence is thousands of years. However, there is not even one person who can be considered a strong man in the country, and the people have been almost driven to misery by Crocodile.

"How's the night view of this city built thousands of years ago?" Robin pushed the door and walked into the bedroom, then sat down on the chair next to Rody. He activated the ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit, poured himself a glass of red wine, put his right leg on top of his left leg, took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and asked Rody with a smile.

"Yes, everything you see is filled with the weight and stability of history, as if there are endless stories to tell."

"Really? That's surprising. I thought with your personality you would say that this city built thousands of years ago is now a fragile antique that can be destroyed with a wave of the hand." Robin took a sip of red wine and looked at Rody with shining eyes, as if he had gotten to know Rody all over again.

“It can be easily destroyed now, but after all, it is a city that has withstood the erosion of thousands of years of history and still exists. Naturally, it still has its charm.” Rody slowly drank the red wine in the glass, and the petals beside him condensed into a pair of white arms, refilling the glass.

“That’s the beauty of history…”

“Oh, then can I feel the charm of history?”

"certainly……"
