How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 211 Melee
A few minutes later.

clatter--!
clatter--!
clatter--!
Clear footsteps were heard from the underground prison of the Alabasta Palace.

Crocodile slowly walked out.

Following behind him was Cobra, who had a resigned look on his face.

Obviously, between the lives of the people of the entire royal city and the historical text that the Nefertari family has guarded for generations.

Cobra chose the latter.

"If you had cooperated earlier, how could you have suffered so much?"

Crocodile said indifferently.

He took the cigar from his mouth with one hand and walked towards the sacrificial hall outside the palace.

The original text of Alabasta's history, which has been guarded by generations, is hidden in a secret room beneath the sacrificial hall.

Robin, who had received the news, had already been waiting at the palace gate. When he saw Crocodile arriving, he greeted him and followed him.

Also at this moment.

After being imprisoned for many days, Cobra finally felt the scorching sun of Alabasta again, which almost roasted people into mummies.

But at this moment he had no time to care about these things. His eyes fell on Aruba in the distance. His eyes were instantly bloodshot and unspeakable anger rose in his heart.

It's because at this moment, Alubana has already fallen into chaos.

Burning buildings, wailing civilians, members of the Baroque Works who were slaughtering people wantonly with guns and cannons, and the rebels led by Kosa...

Everything is dragging this city into hell.

This capital city, which has lasted for nearly a thousand years and was established even before the World Government, is facing a real crisis of destruction today.

Just like the town that once existed in Alabasta but has been swallowed by the desert.

But what really moved Cobra were the countless bleeding civilians around him.

"Is this your promise?"

Cobra's hateful questioning only resulted in Crocodile's gentle ridicule:

"You'd better move faster. Every second you delay, more people in this country will die because of you."

"devil!"

"Damn devil!"

Cobra was so angry that his face turned red and he spit out a large mouthful of blood on the spot.

The consciousness in his brain became blurred at this moment, but he knew more clearly that he could not fall down at this time.

Otherwise, with the temperament of this man in front of him, he would definitely be able to destroy a city and massacre hundreds of thousands of civilians!

Robin quietly reached out to support Cobra, but the latter struggled to break free:
"I can walk by myself."

"Ah la~"

Robin smiled slightly:
"That saved me a lot of trouble."

Crocodile followed Cobra and slowly walked towards the sacrificial hall of Alvaro.

The surrounding scenery passed by, artillery fire and wailing rang out, and soon a small palace located in the north of Alabasta appeared in the eyes of several people.

At this moment, Crocodile's body was shaking with excitement.

Twenty years of lurking and painstaking deployment are all for the moment of reaping the fruits.

If before the battle at Rapeseed Port, he was only 70% sure, the historical text guarded by the Nefertari clan for generations recorded the information about Pluto.

Then when Knight Gawain and Golden Lion both appeared in Alabasta one after another, this confidence rose to 90%.

This is Pluto!
Pluto, one of the three great ancient weapons!
A devastating weapon that could wipe a country off the map with one shot.

A few days ago, the scene of Gawain's defeat at the hands of the Golden Lion reappeared in Crocodile's mind.

It also made his awe for these past legends reach an indescribable level, far greater than before.

After all, even a monster like the knight Gawain would be powerless against the power of the golden lion.

What's the point of standing up again and again if you keep getting defeated?
Only man-made monsters can compete with natural monsters!

As long as I have Pluto in my hand, even if I don't have the power to match Whitebeard, I can still reach the top of this ocean!
But for some reason, even though the thing he had been seeking all his life was right in front of him, Crocodile suddenly stopped. Only then did he realize that there was an inexplicable resistance in his heart.

What's wrong with me?
"Boss?"

Crocodile didn't come to his senses until he heard Robin's call in his ears. He looked up at the road ahead.

We have arrived at the sacrificial hall.

Pluto is coming too.

Cobra walked to a statue and stopped, then turned to look at Crocodile. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but it turned into unwillingness in the next moment.

He didn't know whether Crocodile would keep his promise, but that was the only hope he had at the moment.

"I hope you'll keep your word."

"Ah."

Crocodile nodded.

Seeing this, Cobra did not hesitate. He raised his hand and pressed the mechanism under the feet of the statue.

The statue slowly moved away, revealing the stone stairs below, and several people slowly followed Cobra's steps down.

Disappeared into the shadows.

……

at the same time.

The internal war in Alubana has gradually spread.

It even gradually evolved into a three-way melee between the kingdom's soldiers, the rebels, and Baroque Works.

when!
Kosa swung his sword to repel the attacking guards, then turned around and led his men to fight with more kingdom guards.

But the more he fought, the more confused Kosha became.

He originally thought that his arrival was to put an end to the evil Cobra, and that Alabasta would be able to revive.

But at this moment, the countless wailing civilians around him, as well as Gaka and Bell who were nailed to the cross outside the palace and were dying, made him instinctively realize that something was wrong.

Even if Cobra is stupid and cruel, Gaga and Bell, who are extremely loyal to him, would never do such a thing.

There is an invisible hand pushing everything behind the scenes, leading this country to its current situation.

Those people who are mysterious, mingle among the crowd, stir up emotions, and then leave as soon as the conflict breaks out are suspicious no matter how you look at it!

Do not!
Did we really initiate this war?
still is……

Cobra?
Or world government?

Kosha was not sure, but the warm blood with an iron smell that splashed on his body made him absolutely convinced of this.

"You kidnapped the king!"

Countless kingdom guards swarmed in.

Their eyes were red as they glared at Kosa. Without waiting for Kosa to speak, they rushed towards him with weapons in hand.

It seems like the fight will not stop until one dies.

As Kosa's intelligence spread, this place gradually became the core of the battlefield.

Countless people were brandishing weapons and killing each other. Blood flowed like a river, smoke filled the air, and explosions occurred everywhere.

Countless civilians wailed.

When Kosa heard this, his heart tightened. The soldiers' talk of kidnapping the king was simply nonsense.

"Stop!"

"Stop it all!"

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding here!" Kosa's voice was just spoken when it was covered by the roar of artillery fire around him.

Apart from a momentary hesitation among the people around him, there was no other impact.

But in the next moment, the fighting crowd suddenly quieted down, and they all looked up at the sky. Everyone was stunned for a moment.

In the distant sky, a huge and ferocious red dragon was roaring towards them.

Just the airflow it caused was like a strong wind, making everyone's clothes rustle.

The dust hitting their faces made them feel even more shocked at the moment. What they saw before them was definitely not an illusion, but a real dragon!
The red dragon from the mythology that has been passed down in Alabasta for hundreds of years!
"That's... the red dragon depicted in the mural in Alabasta! It has to be!"

"Does anyone still remember that legend?"

"Four legs with wings and covered in spikes, will they come and take everything when the kingdom is engulfed in war?!"

"It was that monster that turned Alabasta into a desert!"

When the legend came into reality, all that was left was panic. Some people threw away their weapons and armor, and their legs were trembling.

Especially when seeing the red dragon's unimaginable huge size and its ferocious and evil appearance which is exactly the same as the one in the legend.

The guards and rebels present stopped running for a moment.

"Energy person?"

"But this body size... is too exaggerated no matter how you put it!"

Kosa was much more sober and calm than anyone else present.

The first thing he thought of when he saw the red dragon was not the legend that had been passed down in Alabasta for hundreds of years, but the person with special abilities.

But no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw the blue-haired figure on the red dragon's back.

"Weiwei?! Damn it!"

As Vivi's playmate since childhood, although the two have fought many times, Kosa is very clear about one thing: Vivi's love for this country is no less than his own!

Besides, he had met Cobra before and knew what kind of person he was. One thing that he couldn't figure out in all these years was...

Why would such a benevolent king become like this?

"Is it because of this dragon? Or is it some other reason..."

There was no time for Kosa to think or hesitate. In the next moment, the red dragon hovering in the sky smashed directly into the center of the battlefield...

boom!
The huge body, which is over 130 meters long, brings a violent impact.

In just a moment, the ground in the center of the battlefield collapsed, raising a cloud of dust that blocked everyone's vision.

Everyone was at a loss.

Weiwei's firm voice came from the smoke and dust:
"This war was wrong from the beginning to the end. It was Crocodile and the Baroque Works who planned everything behind the scenes!"

"Kosa!"

"If you can hear me, stop this war!"

After a few breaths, the dust and smoke dissipated.

The huge red dragon had long disappeared, leaving only Weiwei and a tall and handsome man standing in the center of the pit.

"Why should we trust you? You're also part of the royal family!"

A discordant voice suddenly sounded, but no one dared to take any action.

The scene of the red dragon landing and destroying half of the city block has shattered the last bit of resistance in everyone's hearts.

With a body size and strength like that, the army present alone had no chance of resistance.

Gawain walked towards the source of the sound, and the crowd instantly scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only a Den Den Mushi that was still connected lying quietly on the ground.

Voices with obvious provocative meanings continued to come out of the Den Den Mushi.

"You are all in the same group. Only by destroying the Alabasta royal family can this country have a chance to be reborn..."

"It was the rebels who captured King Cobra, and it was they who kidnapped Lady Jakawiwi..."

Everyone who noticed all this was stunned for a moment, and immediately believed most of what Weiwei said.

Gao Wen looked at the Den Den Mushi that was still making sounds, his eyes cold:

"It was an unexpectedly simple tactic, but in that noisy and frenetic battlefield, it was surprisingly efficient."

Gawain looked around, and an invisible aura emanated from him, making everyone feel that the person standing in front of them was not a human being, but a human-shaped magic dragon.

Zheng!
Guanze Masamune is unsheathed.

A fierce and domineering aura, like a strong wind, spread out in all directions with Gao Wen as the center.

He did not use his domineering power, but among the people around him, some timid people were frightened by this scene and lost consciousness on the spot.
"If anyone else wants to continue, I'll fight with you!"

There was an eerie silence all around for a moment. Everyone looked at each other and put down their weapons without hesitation.

At this moment, even the most slow-witted person should have realized that the man standing in front of him was a creature from another dimension, and with his strength alone, he could defeat everyone present.

The huge hole in the center of the battlefield is the best proof.

Kosha slowly walked up to Weiwei and said:

"Are you telling the truth?"

Weiwei nodded heavily:

"I saw with my own eyes the people from the Baroque Works transporting dancing powder. Everything he did before was just a disguise to seize this country."

"Kosha, others may not know what kind of person my father is, but you should know!"

Kosa was silent for a while.

In fact, he had sensed something was wrong when the war began, but he was powerless to stop it.

"I believe you, but if this is still Cobra's lie..."

Kosa glanced at Gawain and gritted his teeth and said:
"Even if it's a world-destroying dragon, I will fight to the end. The people of this country have suffered too much."

"Ah."

The two join forces.

The rebels and royal guards in the city were quickly pacified.

As everyone took action, in just a few minutes, they cleared out a number of Baroque Works spies lurking in both sides.

Gaka and Bale, who were nailed to the cross, were also put down. The former had lost consciousness due to exposure to the sun, while the latter relied on his own physical strength to hold on.

now.

Bell didn't care about his own injuries, grabbed Weiwei's arm, and said anxiously:
"The people from Baroque Works attacked the kingdom and captured King Cobra. I saw them go to the north of the city just now."

"quick!"

"If I were a step slower..."

Bell lost consciousness before he could finish his words.

Weiwei's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Chengbei?"

"So Crocodile came here for that thing?!"

"I was wondering why this poor and arid country could attract bigwigs like the Shichibukai. Is that so?"

"Mr. Gawain."

"Crocodile should be in the sacrificial hall in the north of Alvarana City. Under the ground there, the original text of Alabasta's history that has been guarded for generations is hidden."

Gawain nodded, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He interfered in the affairs of Alabasta because of Crocodile!
Now is the perfect time to end all the grudges here!
"I'll leave this to you."

After saying this, the red dragon wings on Gawain's shoulders spread out, he leaped up, and roared towards the north of the city.
