He suddenly smiled sullenly and said:
"Since he doesn't want to go to war, let us help him."
"A great country is born out of a strong leader, and even more out of war and blood."
"Let Mr.2 go there."
In the shadows, Nicole Robin frowned slightly, but quickly dissipated.
"Yes, President."
Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke,
"Are you sure you don't want to stay?"
"There is no place for you in this sea, you should be very clear about this."
"My dream is about to come true, and the whole of Alabasta will be in my pocket!"
"Combined with the ancient weapon Pluto, I will lead this desert country and completely conquer this sea!"
"And you...Nicole Robin, as my most capable assistant, will stand by my side and witness the glory and splendor of all this with me!"
Nicole Robin shook her head lightly and said:
"No, thank you, President."
Crocodile looked at her seemingly casually, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Alright, since you've already made a decision, I won't stop you."
"However, before you leave, accompany me to the ruins of the underground royal tomb again. I want to take a look at that stone slab again."
Nicole Robin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw the gently moving gravel in the corner of the dark room, she nodded and said:
"No problem, Lord Crocodile."
……
……
Boom! !
The sound of footsteps and horseshoes sounded like a thundering drum in the vast desert land.
The billowing yellow sand, like roaring dragons, rises and rolls outside the city wall.
On the city wall of Alabasta's royal capital, the members of the King's Army wearing armor looked at the mighty army that tore through the yellow sand and the strong wind with horror, and the hands holding the weapons were trembling uncontrollably .
"The army... the army of the rebel army..."
"many……"
"This... I'm afraid it has exceeded one hundred thousand!?"
"Oh my God……"
The dust billowed, and the wind and sand filled the sky.
The dense rebel army swarmed under the city wall, spreading from the bottom of the city wall all the way to the far end of the distance.
The dense horseshoes roared like war drums, and the unsheathed knives and guns roared like thunder.
Black smoke billows.
Seen from a very far distance, beyond the towering city walls of Albastan's capital Alba, there is a vast army.
The king's guards on the city wall looked at this huge army in horror, with chills running down their spines.
Years of drought have already caused many cities in Alabasta to fall into a desperate situation of crop failure. The people fell into a vicious circle of drought, famine, and disease, and countless families were torn apart.
Just like what Ron and the others saw in the "Green City" El Baru, the huge Alabasta was already dying of illness.
In the face of such "natural disasters", ordinary people can't resist the storm of disaster at all. If they want to survive, joining the rebel army is their only way out.
Therefore, among the huge number of rebels, most of them are hungry victims with faces like dead wood. They may have weapons in their hands, but their clothes are ragged, and they don't seem to have the combat effectiveness of a regular army.
Even so, the astronomical figure of 20 is enough to make the nearly thousand king's guards on the city wall despair.
Even with the addition of nearly ten thousand troops in the capital, it was only a matter of time before the angry rebel army invaded the city before the huge gap in numbers.
Just as the king's guards were at a loss and panicked, angry and accusing voices suddenly exploded from below the city gate:
"Open the city gate!!"
"Let that hypocritical King Cobra come out!!"
"We need an answer!!"
"Why is he blatantly using dancing powder in the capital!!"
"Did he give up Alabasta for the pleasure of the royal family!!"
"He is not qualified to be the king of our Alabasta!!"
"..."
The hunger, anger and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time erupted suddenly when these disaster victims and rebel army came to the capital.
The so-called dancing powder, also known as "rain-calling powder", was invented a long time ago by an unknown country in order to pray for rain.
Only need to use dancing powder, you can let the generated smoke float into the sky, so as to artificially rain.
However, the use of dancing powder will cause drought in the neighboring countries located in the west wind, so the neighboring countries who discovered the disadvantages of dancing powder started wars one after another. Since then, the world government has banned the manufacture and possession of dancing powder.
The name of Dancing Fan is full of goodness in essence. It is hoped that the people will dance and celebrate happily because of the rain.
But not long ago, many people witnessed Alabasta's "King Cobra" himself openly using dancing powder to make rain in the capital.
This scene was nothing more than a sharp dagger piercing the heart, which made the civilians in other drought-stricken cities in Alabasta completely lose their trust in the king.
Under the instigation of some people, the news that "King Cobra disregarded other city disasters for the enjoyment of the royal family" completely ignited the anger of the disaster victims in Alabasta, and made all the people respect and believe in the royal family. It completely collapsed overnight!
This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing them to take up arms and join the camp of the rebels.
The crowd is raging, and the people's grievances are boiling!
"Get that hypocrite Cobra out!!"
"Open the city gate!!"
"Get in!!"
"..."
Just when the anger of the people gathered at the top and kept hitting the city gate,
suddenly--
Boom! !
The heavy city gate of the royal capital suddenly opened!
Everyone was stunned.
They couldn't believe their eyes.
Whether it was the rebel army or the king's guards, seeing the figure slowly walking out alone under the city wall, there was a huge wave in their hearts.
Robes, a golden crown, and a golden scepter in his hand that represents the kingship of Alabasta.
Cobra! !
King Cobra of Alabasta! !
He actually dared to walk out of the city gate! ! ?
He's crazy! ?
He is not afraid of death! ?
There are 20 rebels here! !
Anyone who spits at random can drown him!
For a time,
Outside the huge city walls of the royal capital, hundreds of thousands of rebels were staring at that figure, and they were stunned, not knowing what to do.
The world suddenly became quiet, only the heavy footsteps of the King of Alabasta slowly sounded.
Amid countless pairs of astonished, unbelievable and shocking eyes, the fifty-year-old king with pale temples and a stooped figure slowly walked out from under the city gate.
He walked in the wind, sand and gunpowder smoke, without any guards around him, just alone.
In front of them is the 20 murderous rebel army, and behind them is the empty city wall.
But his face is resolute and calm, wearing a crown on his head, holding a scepter high, and walking with his head held high!
There was a dead silence.
This is... the majesty of the king!
"My people, your king... has come."
Cobra said loudly.
Chapter 57
What is the majesty of a king?
For such a profound question, perhaps today, at this moment, King Cobra of Alabasta gave a pretty good answer.
Even if the people of the whole country no longer believe in you;
Even if thousands of people criticize and thousands of people revil;
Even if there is no one behind, unarmed;
Even if in front of him is a huge rebel army of 20,
He is still standing extremely straight!
He wears a golden crown on his head and holds a king's scepter in his hand. He is obviously alone, but he seems to be carrying a million soldiers!
He...is Neferutari Cobra!
