But in retrospect, this plan seemed to have many loopholes.

The member countries of the World Government are widely distributed, and the time and routes for transporting Sky Gold to each country are different. It is difficult for El alone to grab a large amount of Sky Gold in a short period of time.

What's more, the naval generals are no ordinary people. Once the robbery of Tianshang Gold occurs continuously, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the navy and take more covert preventive measures.

Without any intelligence, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy to blindly search for the ship transporting heavenly gold in the vast ocean.

So Al decided to take a more daring tack.

That is to take action directly in Marijoa, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons, and snatch all the heavenly gold this year.

This not only avoids the problem of scattered transportation routes, but also ensures that all treasures are concentrated in one place for easy movement.

More importantly, if all countries have completed their tribute to the Celestial Dragons, then what happens on Marijoa will only be borne by the Celestial Dragons themselves, and they will not vent their anger on other countries.

The reason why El dared to take such a risk was largely because of the ability of Kerla's Meat-ball Fruit.

In addition, it is because the Navy Headquarters officially moved to the New World G1 Division.

Without Kizaru's quick support, he had enough time to use the teleportation ability of the Meat-ball Fruit to send the stolen Sky Gold directly to the moon.

After hearing what Al said, Weiwei agreed with the new plan. But after a moment's thought, she asked, "Do we still need to disguise ourselves as originally planned?"

"I will complete this operation alone," Al replied, "The Dark-Dark Fruit can only temporarily carry treasures and cannot preserve them for a long time. I will have Kerla to meet me on the Red Earth Continent. And you have a more important mission."

"What mission?" Weiwei asked curiously.

El smiled and explained, "I will have Nami and the others come to Alabasta. You just need to disguise yourself as me and appear in public with them, so that everyone will believe that I have been staying in Alabasta."

After hearing this, Vivi thought for a moment and nodded. "That's not difficult to do. Recently, the neighboring countries have heard that Alabasta has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they have sent envoys. As long as they can see you with their own eyes, it will prove your existence."

After convincing Vivi, El picked up the Den Den Mushi and prepared to contact Nami and her group.

Seeing that the snacks she had carefully prepared seemed to be of no use, Weiwei opened the lunch box and enjoyed these delicious dishes she had prepared with Al.

"This bun is delicious, fresh and juicy. The cake just now is also very sweet and tender, and melts in your mouth." Hearing Al's praise for the snacks she made, Weiwei's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Soon, the Den Den Mushi shook suddenly and changed into Nami's appearance, "El, what do you want to talk to us about?"

After experiencing the warm time in their hometown, Nami and Kaya specially visited Shields Town, the hometown of El.

Later, when they passed by the sea restaurant Barati, they enjoyed a sumptuous feast with the warm hospitality of Red-footed Zhepu.

Finally, under the leadership of Dashigi, they came to Roger's hometown, Rogue Town, and saw with their own eyes the square where the Pirate King announced the existence of the great treasure to the world and opened the great pirate era.

After completing this series of meaningful journeys, they set out from Upside Down Mountain again and headed to Twin Capes to visit Kaya's master, Kurokas.

There, Kaya told Crocus the story of their encounter with Brook, who, now a skeleton, has become a member of Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates.

After hearing this, Kulokas' eyes sparkled with joy, and he immediately conveyed the good news to Lab.

Upon learning that Brooke was still alive, Lab's heart was filled with hope, as if he had been reborn. He swam happily in the ocean, looking forward to meeting him again in the future.

Nami and her group, who received El's communication request, are now lying in Lab's body enjoying a unique holiday experience.

El swallowed the cake in his mouth, looked at the Den Den Mushi and said, "Nami, how are you guys doing over there? If it's convenient, I hope you can come to Alabasta."

Hearing El's call, Nami asked curiously, "What happened, Captain?"

In order to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, Al did not reveal the news directly, but simply said: "There have been too many things going on in Alabasta recently, and I am a little too busy. I would like to ask you to come over and help."

Smart Robin quickly understood the deep meaning of El's words. She took the Den Den Mushi and said, "Captain El, our vacation has just ended. We will rush to Alabasta as soon as possible."

After ending the communication, they left Lab's belly and said goodbye to Kurokas in the lighthouse.

The turbojet engines on the Orange Windmill started at full power, and the sailboat rushed towards the direction of Alabasta indicated by the Life Paper like an arrow.

Chapter 143: Heavenly Gold

The next afternoon, the Orange Windmill docked steadily at the Rapeseed Port in Alabasta.

The kingdom's guard stationed at the port discovered that it was the ship of the princess' companions, and immediately invited them to dock the ship in the military berthing port and sent troops to guard it.

After Nami and the others left the rapeseed flowers, they rode on the giant bat that Tashigi transformed into and flew towards Alpana.

Looking down from the air, this land is no longer the barren desert in our memory, but has turned into lush green grasslands and dense forests, a vibrant scene.

The miraculous changes in this land made them sincerely admire Al's generosity.

At nightfall, they finally arrived at the palace, and Vivi, El and Kerla greeted them in the attic.

Everyone hugged each other happily, and laughter echoed in the corridors of the palace.

Weiwei had already made sufficient preparations and a welcome party had been carefully arranged in her room.

At the party, Kerla shared with everyone her and Al's story on the moon.

Hearing that the mysterious moonlight city of Bruel might be a relic from the ancient times, Robin's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She walked to Al and whispered, "Al, I also want to go to the moon and see the history of that city."

Al looked at Robin and said with a smile, "I plan to drive the Orange Windmill to the moon together after this operation is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have set a flag, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

His actions attracted everyone's attention, and Perona asked curiously: "Captain El, what are you laughing at?"

Al rubbed his head and found a light-hearted topic to divert everyone's attention: "I thought of asking Vegapunk to make a technological product. I don't know if he has finished it. When it's done, everyone will have a share."

Hearing that Al had prepared gifts for them, everyone laughed happily, and the laughter filled the whole room.

Halfway through the party, Al finally turned the topic to the concerns he had previously discussed with Vivi about Aramaki.

He felt that Aramaki's enthusiasm for transforming Alabasta seemed a little too much, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Al knew that Aramaki, who later became the admiral, would still act on his own regardless of his orders even when facing Akainu, whom he admired.

However, he could only keep this information in his heart and could not reveal it to others.

Despite this, when the girls heard that the power to transform this land came from a strong man with the strength of a general, they couldn't help but feel a little incredible.

Vivi smiled and recalled the time when she met Huangmu in the Taya Kingdom Prison. At that time, he was imprisoned in an ordinary cell.

Robin pondered for a moment and then said, "Although everything is moving in a good direction, his thinking is too unique and hard to understand. I can't imagine such a powerful person being imprisoned in an ordinary cell for so long. I think we must remain vigilant and not let our guard down because of his current behavior."

Robin's analysis was exactly what Al was worried about. He nodded in agreement and continued: "We still need to use his ability to transform the land, but if he has any abnormalities during my absence, you must work together to fight him."

Nuo Qigao asked worriedly: "You said he is as strong as Qing Zhi. Can we really resist him?"

El smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, with you here, everyone's safety is guaranteed. His power cannot penetrate your barrier."

Nojigo's heart finally settled down after hearing Al's affirmative answer.

The only way to break Nokiko's barrier is to stun her with Conqueror's Haki, or to use Domination to attack her directly without any contact.

However, Aramaki does not possess the Conqueror's Haki, so breaking the barrier is almost impossible.

After the party, Al took the disguise props that Weiwei had carefully prepared for him and said goodbye to the girls together with Kerla.

Kerla used the ability of her fruit and rushed towards Sabaody Island with El. The two of them were like two shadows, silently crossing the star-dotted sky.

When they arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, Al brought Kerla to Shaqi's Knock Bamboo Bar in District 13.

Although Xia Qi has been away from here for some time, her bar is still intact. It is obvious that Xia Qi, who has lived here for forty years, has established a great reputation that scares away the surrounding criminals.

Al took out the key that Xia Qi had hidden in the backyard with familiarity, gently opened the door, and led Kerr in.

In the next few days, Al went out alone, transformed into a little dragon and hid in the clouds, silently observing Mary Joa's every move.

Kerla stayed alone in the cabin. She didn't turn on the lights or make a fire. She just ate the food that Al bought for her, and was careful to avoid being discovered by outsiders.

After several days of patient observation, Al became familiar with how the navy transport ships placed the heavenly gold into different treasure houses.

In order to ensure that the operation was foolproof, he patiently waited for all the heavenly gold to be safely stored in the warehouse, and only took action on the night when the Tianlong people cancelled the record points.

It was a night with thin moonlight and darkness as ink, providing a natural cover for his actions.

Returning to the bar, Al quickly put on a carefully prepared disguise and disguised himself as a burly man. The cloak and cape tightly wrapped his body, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes flashing in the dark.

He brought Kerla quietly to a hidden coastline of the red earth continent.

This place is some distance away from Marijoa, and there is a platform large enough to release the collected treasure. In addition, due to the dim night, the treasure ejected by the Meat-Ball Fruit will not be easily discovered.

After confirming the action plan with Kerla, he told her to wait patiently, and he flew towards Mary Joa like a ghost in the night.

He cleverly circumvented the heavily guarded guards and quietly made his way to the back of the treasury where the treasure was stored.

After waiting for the patrolling guards to pass by, he reverted to his human form and placed his hands on the cold stone wall.

As the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit was activated, a thick darkness instantly swallowed up the wall, forming a hole.

Inside the treasury, the rooms are neatly arranged, each one is locked and contains countless gold, silver and treasures.

Al did not hesitate for a moment. He placed his hands on the ground, and the dark acupoints slowly spread out, covering the entire treasury and swallowing everything in the treasury into the endless abyss of darkness.

Under the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the entire treasure house was looted almost in the blink of an eye.

As he left, he pretended not to notice the surveillance Den Den Mushi hanging from the roof.

He needed to leave some clues and lead the matter to the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit in order to eliminate his suspicion to the greatest extent.

As for the time when he truly displays the power of the Three Fruits, the World Government should no longer be able to pose a threat to him.

Chapter 144: Jialin Sheng Takes the Blame

Because he had to do his best to suppress the compression and crushing of the treasure by the black hole space, Al could not transform into the form of a blue dragon. He could only use the Moon Step to jump down from the red soil continent and quickly run along the sea towards where Kerla was.

His figure flashed across the water like a bolt of lightning, leaving brief ripples on the surface with every step.

Before he left for long, a huge alarm suddenly sounded on the Red Earth Continent, breaking the tranquility of the sky.

When the patrolling guards passed behind the treasury, they discovered a hole as high as a person in the originally solid wall.

When the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, Fegaland Galinsheng, arrived at the scene, the treasury had been surrounded, the soldiers were facing a formidable enemy, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was almost tangible.

The adjutant quickly reported the situation: "Lord Garin, the Knights of God have blocked all external channels of the entire Marijoa, and arranged for the navy to be stationed at all docks on Sabaody Island, and strictly prohibited any ships from sailing. The warships of the Navy Headquarters are also on the way, and they will block the nearby sea."

After hearing the adjutant's arrangements, Jialin Sheng nodded, first checked the door of the treasury, and then went around to the back to carefully observe the situation at the hole.

He looked at the broken surface and gently stroked the damaged edges with his fingers. "This was not broken by brute force. It should be some kind of fruit ability. What did the patrol guard say?"

Upon hearing the question, the adjutant said, "All the guards have been interrogated separately tonight. Their testimonies are consistent. They did not hear any noise, and when they bypassed here ten minutes ago, the wall was still intact."

"In other words, within ten minutes, someone destroyed the wall of the treasury and emptied it?"

Feeling the strong pressure from the commander, the adjutant immediately replied seriously: "Yes, Lord Galin."

Hearing the adjutant's answer, Jialin Sheng stared at the broken surface with a frown.

Then he stepped into the hole and walked into the treasure house.

The treasury was now brightly lit, but also extremely empty.

After confirming that the scene was not damaged, he began to observe every detail carefully.

The original buildings in the treasury have all disappeared, leaving only some irregular and twisted marks on the ground.

These twisted surfaces are somewhat different from the tearing marks on the gap walls.

In addition to his own footprints, there was also a strange shoe print at the scene. Based on the size of the shoe print, he judged that the person who robbed the treasure house was about three meters tall.

Apart from this, he did not find any other valuable clues.

He looked up at the surveillance Den Den Mushi on the roof and asked his adjutant, "That Den Den Mushi is not damaged. Bring me the footage."

The adjutant had already prepared to play the Den Den Mushi and said, "Master Garin, we can only see blurry black shadows in the Den Den Mushi video. We can't tell how the other party took away all the valuables."

Garin Sheng stared at the picture played on Den Den Mushi. In the darkness, he could vaguely see the wall being demolished, and then a tall black shadow walked into the treasury.

The dark shadow seemed to be lying on the ground, and then the picture became extremely dark.

When the dark scene ended, the original buildings disappeared.

He turned around and walked to the last place where the man in black stayed in the surveillance, but did not find anything unusual, as if nothing had ever happened here.

His lieutenants were also constantly checking the reports from the Knights of God to see if anyone had found any new clues, but it was all in vain.

At this time, Al had already released the treasures in batches to the open space where Kerla was, asking her to teleport the treasures to the moon.

Faced with such huge wealth, even Kerla, who had seen the national treasury, was shocked. Money lost its meaning in her eyes.

She repeatedly wrapped large amounts of money and treasure in flesh-cushion bubbles and sent them to the moon.

When the last batch of treasures was sent into the sky, El used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to instantly crush the ground where they were into fine sand, and let the sand sink to the bottom of the sea, completely eliminating all traces.

After doing all this, the two wrapped themselves in pitch-black cloaks and flew into the sky with the help of the power of the Kerla Fruit.
