One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

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

"political reform!?"

Words never heard before were broadcast to the public, immediately piquing their curiosity.

Everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed intently on Weiwei on the platform.

Then they saw Vivi, who was originally wearing a princess dress, suddenly put her hand on her collar and then yanked it open in front of everyone!

The next instant, the silky fabric fluttered in the wind and flew into the distance.

After the princess's attire was removed, a set of sky-blue knight's armor suddenly appeared before everyone.

Clear yet firm!

Clang!

A sharp royal sword was suddenly drawn.

The usually gentle and kind-hearted Weiwei suddenly revealed a warrior-like determination in her eyes.

The brilliant sunlight shone directly on the sword's edge, creating a golden flash.

Vivi spoke again:

"That's right! This is reform!"

"The Alabasta of the past was too gentle and too weak... so much so that we never had a chance to discover the worms hiding within the kingdom!"

"They were utterly powerless to resist!"

"After enduring these three years of hardship, I finally realized..."

"Bad people will never disappear from this world!"

"Being gentle and weak all the time will only attract more bad people to focus their attention on us!"

"We welcome friends with fine wine, but we meet enemies with hunting rifles!"

"Only in this way can we protect our loved ones and deter all enemies!"

"so……"

"Through discussions and decisions by the Alabasta Royal Court, I will be the one to usher in the first turning point in the history of the Alabasta Kingdom!"

"I will create a brand new Alabasta Kingdom!!!"

"Let the world know...that any who dare to invade the kingdom will meet the same fate!!!"

Swah——

A hanging corpse suddenly appeared out of nowhere, suspended high below a platform, its hair disheveled, displayed before everyone.

Upon seeing the corpse, the faces of the people in the square suddenly turned to horror.

"Crocodile... Crocodile!?"

Someone in the crowd gasped in surprise.

It was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a storm among the people.

"That's right! That's definitely Crocodile, exactly the same as in the newspaper!"

"Didn't His Majesty Cobra say just a week ago that this guy was the one who secretly used dancing powder, which caused the kingdom's three-year drought?!"

"Isn't he one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why has he turned out like this!?"

"........."

"........."

Everyone stared in shock at the corpse hanging upside down on the platform. Although they had some guesses, they still couldn't fully believe their own hearts.

Even the rebel leader, Kosa, stared at the sky in disbelief, speechless.

Just then, Weiwei's voice came through the loudspeaker again, answering everyone's question.

"As you can see..."

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

"At the same time, he was also the mastermind behind these three years of disasters!"

"And this is the reform I'm talking about today!"

"From this day forward, anyone who dares to violate the sovereignty of Alabasta or harm the people of Alabasta will suffer the same fate as him!!!"

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

Suddenly, the ropes binding Crocodile, who was hanging upside down, snapped, and his body flew violently toward Vivi's direction.

Pfft!!!

Vivi's longsword pierced through Crocodile's corpse and lifted it high into the air.

Preserved in ice, Crocodile's body is now lifelike, looking exactly the same as when he died.

Cold blood immediately sprayed down the sword's edge onto Vivi's armor and face.

Despite the fact that such a cruel act made her, who was always kind, uncomfortable.

But when she thinks of the people who have suffered and even died because of Crocodile over the past three years, Vivi's discomfort can be overwhelmed by anger.

Crimson is right!

The Nefit royal family absolutely cannot continue to be so gentle!

Whew!

A cloud of dust suddenly emanated from Vivi's body and covered Crocodile's body.

Due to the sandstorm's ability to absorb water, Crocodile's body suddenly became extremely dry.

In the end, only a skeleton remained, which instantly shattered into a pile of dust under Weiwei's powerful mental attack, scattering into the void.

Kou Sha guessed correctly!

Vivi did indeed eat the Sand-Sand Fruit that Nami found, becoming its new user!

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

In Vivi's view, Nami's actions were tantamount to giving her the Devil Fruit.

After all, he had neither the right nor the ability to collect taxes from the Straw Hat crew.

And she felt that the luckiest thing in her life was...

It was probably around that time that she was kidnapped by the Straw Hat crew and taken to the Going Merry.

After utilizing Crocodile's corpse, Vivi recalled the procedures Red had explained to her, and then shouted sharply, as if declaring to the world:

"This! This is the consequence of provoking Alabasta!!!"

In an instant!

The entire square in the holy city was silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the methods Vivi had employed.

Of course, many people are still immersed in the major event of the deaths of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Only at this moment did they truly realize...

The Kingdom of Alabasta is about to undergo a dramatic change!

Chapter 159 The Thirteenth Guardian Squad (Seeking monthly votes~)

In fact, the speed at which this wind of change has blown has exceeded everyone's expectations!

This time, the Nefit family changed its previous conciliatory policy.

On the afternoon the briefing ended, a series of new laws and regulations sprang up like mushrooms after rain in the streets and alleys of various towns and cities in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The changes were so numerous that even the local people were surprised and bewildered.

However, aside from a series of policies that ordinary citizens hardly understand, such as the closure of casinos in rainy areas, the nationwide conversion of casinos from private to public ownership, the desert oasis development and reconstruction plan, and the Pokémon theme park plan...

What people were most concerned about was Princess Vivi's announcement at the end of her presentation that she would select elite warriors from the Kingdom of Alabasta to form the Thirteen Guardian Squads.

After all, judging from Princess Vivi's words at the time, it seemed that she wanted to build a powerful army in addition to the Kingdom's army, in the name of the princess!

The duties of this army differ from those of the royal army, which was originally responsible for maintaining order in the kingdom.

In Vivi's explanation, although the 13th Division of the Guardians of the Nation is named after the nation, it is actually a team established with punishment as its main goal!

Its founding principle is: Anyone who offends our national prestige, no matter how far away, shall be punished!

It's obvious without even thinking about it.

This 13th Guardian Division was actually a unique department that Vivi was preparing to establish under the guidance of Crimson.

Even the vast majority of its members were originally members of Baroque Works.

People like Mr. 1 were directly recruited into this team by Akane and were assigned to the positions of captain and vice-captain of the first to fourth divisions, respectively.

The position of Captain-Commander naturally belongs to Vivi, who ate the Sand-Sand Fruit and awakened her superpowers.

First Division Captain Mr.1 Daz Bones, Vice-Captain Miss. Doublefinger Bora.

The second division captain is Mr. 2 Bon Clay, and there is currently no vice-captain.

There is currently no captain for the Third Division, and the vice-captain is Miss Goldenweek Mariano.

Fourth Division Captain Miss Christmas Dorothy, Vice-Captain Mr. 4 Bev.

The members were all former subordinates of the Baroque agents.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Baroque bounty hunters are like shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of the Straw Hat crew; a single punch could send a whole bunch of them flying.

Compared to the regular army of the Kingdom of Alabasta, they are far superior in terms of strength, wisdom, and overall capabilities!

Any two individuals could easily infiltrate various parts of the kingdom and create all sorts of panic.

Although they were enemies one second, they were to become close protectors the next, leaving many of Baroque's low-ranking agents completely bewildered.

But when Weiwei, in her capacity as captain, offered them a reasonable and guaranteed salary and benefits regardless of weather conditions, and when her superiors had already taken sides...
