One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Kosha formally apologized to King Kobra, and the two shook hands and made peace, jointly vowing to rebuild their homeland together and safeguard the peace and future of Alabasta.

With this, Alabasta's biggest threat has been completely eliminated.

Although sporadic armed groups operating under the banner of the rebels continued to operate in the shadows, they had long since lost their popular support and legitimacy.

They were nothing more than bandits who sought personal gain amidst the chaos, and under the deterrent effect of the kingdom's new order, they could no longer stir up any trouble.

The world of Alabasta has finally regained its long-awaited clarity.

Day three.

Kingdom Guardian Day.

The large screen, which had just been off for less than half a day, lit up again.

This time, however, it was not His Majesty the King who appeared in the center of the screen, or rather, it was not just His Majesty the King.

On the screen, King Cobra was surrounded by the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

Under the intense Alabasta sun, their figures were bathed in a golden glow.

Cobra's voice traveled through the airwaves to every oasis and town in the kingdom.

He loudly proclaimed the Straw Hat Pirates' contributions to the country, describing how brave and fearless they were, risking their lives to defeat Crocodile.

Although they were pirates, they possessed a heart of benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, Cobra officially announced that, effective immediately, the Straw Hat Pirates will become a permanent friend of the Alabasta Kingdom, and welcomes them to establish their own base within the kingdom.

After the live broadcast ended, the entire nation of Alabasta was briefly stunned and bewildered.

After all, the Straw Hat crew are pirates.

The word "pirate" often signifies plunder, chaos, and fear.

For any ordinary person with conscience and common sense, it would be difficult to accept that a people who had just escaped Crocodile's conspiracy and suffered from war and drought would immediately accept a group of pirates as allies of the kingdom.

Doubts and uneasy whispers are quietly spreading across the country, and many people are even secretly worried:

Could this be the start of another conspiracy?

until--

Fourth day.

Kingdom Health Day!

The "National Health Action Month," spearheaded by the Kingdom Government and fully supported by the Straw Hat Pirates, has officially begun!

Starting today, any Alabasta citizen who has suffered physical disabilities, organ dysfunction, or long-term pain due to war, disease, or accident can register at registration points set up by local governments to participate.

After verification, participants will be arranged by the government to go to the temporary medical base built by the Straw Hat Pirates at the former site of the Eruma Oasis to receive free prosthetic repair and functional enhancement surgery.

After the transformation is completed, the former disabled and sick will regain their health, vitality and dignity as "new citizens with prosthetic bodies" and start a new chapter in their lives that truly belongs to them!

In an instant, all dissenting voices vanished, replaced by speculation and anticipation for the event.

However, for the Kingdom of Alabasta, the surprises brought by the Straw Hat crew are far from over!

fifth day.

Kingdom Construction Day.

With the technological materials provided by the Straw Hat Pirates, the Alabasta Kingdom has officially entered the era of large-scale infrastructure construction!

The kingdom will build hundreds of desalination plants in the surrounding calm waters and launch the "external water transfer to internal use" plan, laying a "sand-water road" pipeline network that runs through the desert to continuously transport fresh water to the arid inland areas.

This massive project will create tens of thousands of jobs, enough to absorb all the citizens who have lost their jobs due to the war, including even former rebel soldiers and low-level staff of the Baroque Works.

With the Straw Hat crew's technical guidance and the Kingdom's government's organization, Alabasta was like a giant ship restarting, with every citizen becoming a cog in the machine that propelled the nation's revival.

In just a few days, Alabasta has taken on a completely new look.

Many citizens have begun actively inquiring about the recruitment situation of this program, and the employment difficulties caused by the turmoil and drought in the kingdom have been successfully resolved.

sixth day.

Kingdom Education Day.

Yesterday's infrastructure plans do not seem to have satisfied anyone.

So on this day, King Cobra once again opened his live broadcast room and announced a brand new policy:

Compulsory education system!

Effective immediately, the Kingdom officially launches the national education system construction project.

According to the National Education Revitalization Plan, while ensuring educational facilities in large cities, resources will also be rationally allocated to ensure the educational foundation of small and medium-sized cities and residential areas.

Cities with a population of over 10: Establish a three-tiered system of educational institutions: "basic primary schools," "advanced secondary schools," and "specialized universities."

Cities with a population between 1 and 10: establish at least one "basic primary school" level school to ensure basic education coverage.

All citizens under the age of 12 must receive and complete compulsory education from primary to secondary school.

Citizens aged 12 to 18 must participate in "night school supplementary courses" offered by educational institutions to the public, complete the required study hours and pass the graduation exam in order to be considered to have completed the educational requirements for this stage.

Citizens who are 18 years of age or older may, based on their personal wishes, voluntarily choose whether to enter a school to continue receiving higher education or vocational training.

Effective immediately, the Kingdom of Alabasta officially implements a three-year free national education system.

In an instant, an unprecedented wave of public opinion swept through the entire Kingdom of Alabasta.

Forced education?

This was unprecedented in the entire history of the One Piece world.

But more importantly...

Funded by the government, and even those from impoverished families can apply for subsidies from the school, with all food and accommodation provided by the school.

The whole country erupted in cheers, which surged like a tidal wave.

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

"Long live the Straw Hat Pirates!"

The seventh day.

Kingdom Miracle Day.

On this day, without the need for sheriffs to go out and inform the public, citizens had already gathered in advance in front of the large screens in the squares of major cities, waiting for the live broadcast to begin.

As expected—

Just as noon arrived, the large, dark screen lit up on time.

However, this time, the scene was not the familiar Capital Square.

The scene then shifts to the depths of a desolate desert.

Three years of drought have left Alabasta with such a desolate landscape.

For a moment, no one could tell where the camera was pointed.

But soon, the crowd's attention was drawn to a massive building in the center of the image, resembling a towering pillar.

It was a tall, silver tower shaped like a giant chimney, standing majestically amidst the yellow sand.

At the very top of the tower, a line of bright red characters blazes brightly under the scorching sun:

【Straw Hat No. 1 Satellite Launch Rocket】

Chapter 89 Invincible in the Desert, Enemies Coming from the Sea!

satellite?

Rocket?

What is that?

The crowd in the square held their breath, and all the noise came to an abrupt halt at that moment.

After the first six days of trials, even if no one said a word in the live stream, they subconsciously felt that something big was about to happen.

The silver-white rocket standing in the desert reflected a cold light under the blazing sun, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

The skull and sombrero logo on the side of the rocket is clearly visible, with a line of smaller text printed below it:

"Dedicated to the Dawn of Alabasta".

Just as the people of Alabasta were wondering what it was, a commotion suddenly came from the screen.

People instantly recognized the owner of the voice.

It was V, the Straw Hat Pirates member who, during the "National Health and Wellness Action Month" and "Compulsory Education System" live broadcasts, explained the details of every pro-people policy with clear logic and a firm tone!

"It's Lord V's voice!" A boy in the crowd couldn't help but whisper.

"Shh—! Quiet!" The old man next to him immediately gestured, but his cloudy eyes shone with the same burning expectation as the boy.

On the other side, a strong, able-bodied man sighed regretfully, "It's a pity I'm not missing any limbs... otherwise I might have been able to go to Eluma and see Lord V in person."

These scattered whispers vanished instantly, as if a mute button had been pressed, after V's voice rang out.

Throughout Alabasta, in thousands of squares, streets, and homes, all citizens held their breath and stared up at the screen.

On the radio, V's steady and powerful voice clearly resonated throughout every corner of the kingdom:

"Countdown, ten seconds."

ten--

Nine--

eight--

In the square, many citizens subconsciously held their breath, and some even unconsciously started silently counting down with the V.

The children stared wide-eyed, gripping their parents' arms tightly; the elderly, on the other hand, shakily raised their heads, their dim eyes reflecting the blinding silver light of the screen.

Four--

three--

two--
