Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 158 The Wind of Change (please vote for me~)

Chi Hong returned the Shasha Fruit to Nami with an astonished look on her face, but she refused to let go of her overflowing lips.

Originally, he was still troubled by the fact that the Shasha Fruit had such a useful ability that he couldn't keep it in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, it was reborn in Alabasta, and accidentally triggered Nami's picking up ability.

It's like God's blessing.

but……

"Who should use the power of this rustling fruit?!"

Chihong couldn't help but think.

Unlike the Slippery Fruit, which seems useless but is invincible upon reflection...

The Shasha Fruit is not very powerful in the natural system.

Even in Crimson Eyes, it's not as good as the Swamp Fruit that will appear 2 years later.

The reason why it can show so much power is entirely because its user Crocodile himself is a strong man with considerable strength.

So in this way, this fruit will become very useless.

Just keep it in your hands. It's a natural type anyway, which is a pity.

But let your friends eat it, but it is too weak.

After thinking for a moment, a strange color suddenly flashed in his red eyes.

He raised his head and asked Nami:

"Nami, are you interested in using this fruit's ability to gain more benefits for yourself!?"

Nami was stunned: "What do you mean!?"

…

…

A week later.

Arupana, the holy capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Countless citizens from all over the kingdom gathered around the People's Square in Aruba, looking at a huge screen in the center of the square with confusion and anticipation.

Some of them were in rags and had no food to eat, but they still came here tremblingly holding a long stick and crutches.

Some were wearing beautiful clothes and occupying favorable terrain accompanied by guards.

It can be seen that they come from different classes and different regions of the kingdom.

Now they are all gathered in this crowded square.

Among the crowd, there were even many mysteriously dressed guys, some of whom had to cover themselves tightly even in such hot weather.

And if Weiwei appears again, she will definitely look surprised at these mysterious guys.

Because these guys who dare not show their faces are none other than...

It is the biggest problem within the Kingdom of Alabasta today, the one with the goal of overthrowing Kobra's incompetent rule - the rebels!

As for why they, who were originally supposed to be in the Yuba base, appeared here...

All of this starts with the "Edict of Sin" that was suddenly issued across the country by Kobra, the Kingdom of Alabasta, a week ago...

Due to year-round drought and water shortage in most parts of the kingdom, the entire country has fallen into a state of civil strife where people are living in dire straits.

The rebel forces are growing day by day!

Under the instigation of the Baroque Working Society agents, there is a possibility of launching a general attack on the Royal Army at any time!

However, just as the leader of the rebel army, Kosha, was planning to send troops to attack the Holy Capital, Kobra suddenly announced...

He has found the root cause of the drought and civil strife in the kingdom and produced a large amount of relevant evidence.

Only then did all the people of Alabasta know...

It turns out that the Shichibukai Crocodile, who is often published in newspapers as the hero of the Kingdom of Sand, is actually the culprit of all this!

Because of Robin's help, the evidence Cobra showed was so comprehensive that if a pedestrian took this evidence to another country, it would be possible to complete an operation to steal the country.

But although all this was Crocodile's conspiracy, Kobra did not shirk his responsibility.

He didn’t immediately discover the internal problems in the kingdom, and he didn’t investigate the rumors immediately. He believed that as long as he was kind to the people, he could make the country rich and powerful...

In the edict of sin, Kobra sincerely repented of his mistakes and promised the people that he would never continue to use this Buddhist management method in the future. He hoped that the people could trust him again!

that's all……

Under the red hint, the Baroque agents who were lurking throughout the kingdom once again exerted their strength, making more and more people willing to believe in Kobra.

And I came here specifically to participate in today's announcement ceremony of the Kingdom of Alabasta's reform plan organized by the royal family!

As the sun in the sky slowly moved from the horizon to directly above everyone's heads, it illuminated the earth into a golden color.

At this moment, a violent gust of sand suddenly rose from the high platform inside the square.

At this moment, the big black screen suddenly turned on and lit up, transmitting the images from the high platform into the sight of every citizen present.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

At this moment, an apologetic voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the center of the square.

And follow this current, extending all the way to city squares across the kingdom.

Soon, under everyone's shocked eyes, the flying yellow sand instantly condensed on the high platform, and slowly transformed into the figure of an elegant blue-haired princess wearing a noble dress.

"That is……"

Seeing this scene, Kosha suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Weiwei appearing in this way in disbelief.

As the boss of the rebel army, he naturally has his own intelligence system.

Kosha instantly recognized that the ability used by Weiwei was exactly the ability of Crocodile who was stationed in the Rain Land, the Alabasta Sinner, and the Shichibukai - the Natural Shasha Fruit!

"How could..." Kosha looked shocked.

Among those present, there were not a few people who also recognized Weiwei's appearance.

Everyone instantly realized... today's briefing may not be as simple as they thought!

as expected.

The next moment, Weiwei, who was standing under the spotlight, walked to the front of the microphone, took a deep breath, and then said sadly:

"People of the Kingdom of Alabasta, I'm sorry that this announcement was not held until today!"

"You have really... suffered during this period of time!"

As the princess of a country, Weiwei suddenly bowed to the thousands of people in front of her under the camera.

This scene also made countless people of the kingdom shed tears instantly.

True.

Kobra did not bring development and security to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

But as a benevolent king, he has won the love and support of countless people.

Even after three years of severe drought and countless people starving to death, a large number of citizens still believed in their king.

The image of the Nefet royal family has long become a belief in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

"Princess Weiwei! This is not your fault!"

"Yes! Everything is Crocodile's fault!!! It has nothing to do with you!"

“We will always support you!!!”

"…………"

"…………"

At this moment, the people in the square, regardless of class or status, all raised their arms and shouted to comfort their Princess Weiwei.

"Thank you...thank you everyone!"

The trust of the people made Weiwei, who was already ashamed, shed tears instantly.

But when she raised her head again, her eyes were extremely determined.

"Everyone, I am very happy that you can still choose to trust us after the Nefet royal family made such a mistake."

"But if it's wrong, it's just wrong!"

Weiwei's tone suddenly rose, and the expression between her eyebrows gradually became determined.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, she shouted loudly:

"It turns out that my father's policies are not enough to protect our kingdom!"

"So in order to make up for the mistakes made by the Nefet royal family and ensure that such mistakes will not happen again..."

"Our kingdom...needs a reform!!!"

"political reform!?"

Words that had never been heard before were conveyed to the ears of the people through the radio, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Weiwei at the high platform.

Then they saw Weiwei, who was originally wearing a princess uniform, suddenly put her palm on her collar, and then suddenly pulled it in front of the public!

The next moment, the silky cloth fluttered in the wind and flew into the distance.

After losing the cover of the princess costume, a set of sky blue knight armor suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Clear and hard!

Clang! ! !

A sharp royal sword suddenly came out of its sheath.

I saw that Weiwei, who had always been gentle and kind in the eyes of the people, now had the determination of a warrior in her eyes.

The bright sunlight shines directly on the sword's edge, blooming into a golden flash.

Weiwei spoke again:

"That's right! This is the reform!"

"Alabasta in the past was too gentle and too weak...so that we had no chance to discover the moth hidden in the kingdom!"

"There is no resistance at all!"

"After these three years of suffering, I finally realized..."

"In this world, bad guys will never disappear!"

"And being gentle and weak will only make more bad people focus on us!"

"Friends come with wine, enemies come with shotguns!"

"Only in this way can we protect our relatives and friends and deter all enemies!"

"so……"

"After deliberation and decision by the Royal Court of Alabasta, I will usher in the first turning point in the history of the Kingdom of Alabasta!"

"I will create a new kingdom of Alabasta!!!"

"Let the world know...anyone who dares to invade the kingdom will end up like this!!!"

Swish——

A corpse hanging upside down suddenly appeared from nowhere. It was hung high under the hanging platform and displayed in front of everyone with disheveled hair.

After seeing the corpse, the expressions of everyone in the square suddenly became horrified.

"K... Crocodile!?"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately, like a pebble falling into a calm lake, it instantly aroused the excitement of all the people.

"That's right! That's definitely Crocodile, exactly like the one in the newspaper!"

"Didn't His Majesty Kobra say a week ago that this guy secretly used dancing powder, which caused a three-year drought in the kingdom!?"

"Isn't he the King of the Seven Martial Arts? Why did he become like this!?"

"…………"

"…………"

Everyone looked at the corpse hanging upside down on the high platform in shock. Although they had some guesses in their hearts, they still couldn't completely believe what they were feeling.

Even Kosha, the leader of the rebel army, was looking up at the sky in dumbfounded disbelief.

At this moment, Weiwei's voice came out from the loudspeaker again, answering this question to everyone.

"As you can see..."

"The corpse in front of you is none other than Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords recognized by the World Government!"

"At the same time, he is also the initiator of the disaster that has been planned for the past three years!"

"And this is the reform I am talking about today!"

"From now on, anyone who dares to violate the sovereignty of Alabasta and harm the people of Alabasta will be like him!!!"

As she spoke, a pale pink light suddenly appeared in Weiwei's eyes.

The rope hanging upside down by Crocodile suddenly broke, and his body suddenly flew towards Weiwei's direction.

Phew! ! !

The long sword in Weiwei's hand directly penetrated Crocodile's body and raised it high.

Preserved in ice, Crocodile's body had long been lifelike, no different from when he had just died.

Cold blood suddenly sprayed along the edge of the sword and onto Weiwei's armor and face.

Although such a cruel act made her, who has always been kind, feel uncomfortable.

But when she thinks about the citizens who have been in dire straits or even died because of Crocodile in the past three years, Weiwei's inner discomfort can be covered by anger.

What Chihong said was not wrong!

The Nefet royal family must not be so gentle anymore!

Huh~!

A piece of sand suddenly floated out from Weiwei's body and covered Crocodile's body.

Under the water-absorbing ability of the sand and dust, Crocodile's body suddenly became extremely dry.

In the end, only a white skeleton was left, which instantly exploded into a pile of powder and scattered in the void under Weiwei's powerful mental thought.

Kosha's guess was correct!

Weiwei did indeed eat the Shasha fruit that Nami picked up and became her new ability user!

The price she paid was to sign a series of tax exemption documents with Nami in the name of the Nefit royal family.

In fact, from Weiwei's perspective, Nami's actions were tantamount to giving this Devil Fruit to herself.

After all, he had no qualifications or ability to levy taxes on the Straw Hats.

And she feels that the luckiest thing in her life is...

Maybe it was at that time that he was kidnapped by the Straw Hats aboard the Merry.

After using the waste from Crocodile's corpse, Weiwei recalled the processes that Chi Hong had told her, and immediately shouted sharply, as if announcing to the world:

"This! This is what happens when you provoke Alabasta!!!"

All of a sudden!

The entire square of the Holy City was silent.

Everyone looked at Weiwei's tricks in disbelief.

Of course, more people are still immersed in the major incident of the death of King Shichibukai.

And it wasn't until this moment that they truly realized...

The Kingdom of Alabasta is about to change! ! !
