Sailing: Start by plundering Koby's entry!

"Lu, Lu En."

Weiwei looked at Luen's exposed muscle lines and handed him a towel with a slightly blushing face.

"Thank you."

Lu En took the towel and smiled at Weiwei.

Weiwei's pretty face turned red, and she was a little afraid to look at Lu En.

She wanted to be brave, but right now, the affairs of the country of Alabasta weighed on her mind.

Vivi has made up her mind that after completely resolving the issues in Alabasta, she will definitely express her feelings to Luen.

And Luen, through interacting with Vivi and observing her with his Observation Haki, also guessed Vivi's thoughts.

Luen was not in a hurry to make it clear, but waited quietly for the day when he would deal with Crocodile.

"By the way, I saw the sea cat you mentioned under the sea."

Lu En looked at Weiwei and smiled.

"Umineko! That means we have entered the waters of Alabasta."

Weiwei also looked surprised.

Sea cats are unique to the waters of Alabasta and are considered auspicious by the people here.

"Since we're almost in Alabasta, I'll give you a crucial piece of information, Princess."

Robin walked over and looked at Vivi.

"Crocodile's Utopia Operation."

Robin looked at Vivi and told her about Crocodile's battle in Utopia.

The so-called Utopia Operation is Crocodile's plan to overthrow the Alabasta regime in order to obtain Pluto, one of the three ancient weapons.

First of all, of course, he founded Baroque Studios and used the identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to package himself as a hero of Alabasta.

Under the cover of this identity, the power of Baroque Studio was allowed to infiltrate into the various forces in Alabasta.

Then they had the members disguise themselves as a transport team and transport a large amount of dancing powder into the royal city and hide it there, creating the illusion that the king was using dancing powder, arousing the hatred of the people towards the king and expanding the power of the rebel army.

And by infiltrating the Baroque Studio members in the King's Army and the rebel army, they expanded hatred and provoked war.

Finally, he kidnapped King Nefertari Cobra and used Mr. 2's ability of the Mimicry Fruit to pretend to be the king and attack the people directly, causing the situation to completely get out of control.

Let the king's army and the rebel army start an unstoppable war,

Completely overthrow the Alabasta regime.

Turning the Kingdom of Alabasta into a military state of Pluto that possesses one of the three ancient weapons is just a tool to fulfill Crocodile's ambition.

This is Crocodile's Utopia plan.

"How could there be such a vicious plan!"

After hearing this, Nami was extremely indignant. Looking at Vivi, whose beautiful eyes were red and her whole body was trembling, she put her hand on Vivi's shoulder and silently comforted her.

"I was wondering why those dancing fans entered the royal city. Sure enough, it was Crocodile who did it!"

Weiwei raised her head and bit her red lips tightly.

Such a plan is too vicious, pushing Alabasta into the abyss step by step.

It is conceivable that without the help of Rune and the others, under Crocodile's calculations, the Alabasta regime would have been overthrown, which is almost a hundred percent certain.

In a war that is triggered like this, there will surely be rivers of blood and countless casualties among the people.

"Then why didn't you tell us the news in advance so that we would have time to prepare."

Usopp was still a little wary of Robin.

"Telling her in advance will only cause the princess to fall into this mental state in advance."

Robin looked at Weiwei and said slowly, then looked at Luen.

"Besides, it's not too late to tell you now. Crocodile, who has been running Baroque for many years, has sufficient manpower to implement this plan.

However, most of the top-ranked senior agents have been dealt with by Mr. Tianwang.

Crocodile's subordinates are now a little short of manpower.

Plus, with Mr. Tianwang's wisdom, even in such a short time, he should have figured out how to resolve this crisis, right?"

Robin looked at Luen.

What Robin said was also the reason why Luen did not tell Vivi the news.

Under his and Nami's command, the Merry was already heading towards Alabasta at the fastest speed, so there was no need to make Vivi anxious in advance.

"Weiwei."

However, Luen did not answer Robin. He walked to Vivi's side and looked directly into Vivi's beautiful red eyes.

"Leave it to me. I won't let you show that expression again."

Lu En roughly ruffled Vivi's blue hair.

Although the action was a bit rough, Weiwei felt extremely relieved and nodded heavily to Lu En.

"Ok!"

Tears flowed down Weiwei's pretty face.

When a person has someone to rely on, the strength in his heart will become soft at some point.

After all, Weiwei is still an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Let's go to Alabasta."

Lu En looked at the sea in the distance, his eyes flashing wildly with violent red and black.

"Oh!"

Everyone stared into the distance with murderous looks on their faces.

Weiwei had already been regarded as a companion by them.

They could never forgive what Crocodile did.

...

Under the joint command of Nami and Rune, the Merry soon saw the territory of Alabasta.

Along the way, we encountered many ships of Baroque Studio, and on them was the billionaire captain of Baroque Studio.

The elite forces of Baroque Studio are gathering towards Alabasta.

Ignoring these trash, the Merry arrived at the first city in Alabasta.

"This is a large port city, Narohara. We can restock our supplies here first."

Weiwei pointed at the port city.

Although she was anxious, Weiwei believed in Luen and also had to replenish supplies.

Even though food can be solved by relying on the fish that Luen brings up from the sea, it is still necessary to stock up on fresh water if one wants to move around in the desert.

"Wait, wait! Why are there so many navy ships here?"

Usopp suddenly pointed at the navy ship docked on the coastline, sweat on his forehead, and exclaimed...

"Also, they are completely different from the naval vessels we have encountered before."

Zoro also looked at these warships with a serious expression.

These warships were much larger than the naval warships they encountered in the East China Sea.

The deck of the warship was made entirely of steel, and there were rows of huge cannons on the warship.

These warships are like giant sea beasts on the sea.

"Navy, headquarters' warships! And they are definitely not small fry!"

Zoro's expression was extremely solemn.

"Interesting. Not only is he not a minor character, he's a big shot in the navy."

Luen looked at these warships with an interested expression.

In the original novel, Smoker, who was chasing after him, was no longer able to enter the Grand Line after all his power was plundered by him.

Unexpectedly, Smoker didn't come, but the Marine Headquarters came, which brought stronger manpower.

Even ordinary vice admirals of the naval headquarters do not have such warship configuration.

Lu En already had some guesses about who the person coming was.

Because there was a peach-colored pattern painted on the sail of the most central warship.

In the Naval Headquarters, there is only one person who uses this pattern.

"Big, big shot?!"

Usopp was so frightened that his legs began to tremble.

Being called a big shot by Lu En means that he is a Marine who is no joke!

"But don't worry, that person won't do anything rash."

Lu En smiled lightly.

If they were the only ones here, Lu En might really be able to avoid contact with this person.

After all, the most important thing for Luen now is to obtain Crocodile's luck.

But they are not the only ones here, there is also Luffy's brother, Portgas D. Ace.

With the two of them around, even if this person really gets into a fight, he won't be able to escape unscathed.

"Let's go buy some supplies and materials to make desert vehicles. I'll leave the procurement to you, Usopp."

Luen looked at Usopp.

Lu En does not intend to waste time on the road like in the original book.

With the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit and Usopp's inventor attribute, Rune can quickly create a tool that can travel smoothly in the desert.

"Let it go, leave it to me!"

Although Usopp was still a little scared, he patted his chest and said.

It's finally time for Usopp to show his power.

"Wait, wait a minute! You're attracting too much attention!"

Usopp exclaimed.

"Lu En, you have to know that you are a super rookie with a bounty of 100 million berries! You are hailed as the future king of the ocean, a super dazzling man whose fame shakes the ocean!"

Usopp walked up to Rune, cold sweat on his forehead.

"Sgei!!!"

When Chopper heard this series of names, his eyes popped out of his head in shock.

Then he looked at Luen with admiration.

Luen, so awesome!

"Hey! I'm also a wanted criminal worth 4500 million berries!"

Luffy suddenly became unwilling.

"That's why you have to hide better! If you cause a commotion, won't that big shot in the navy be the target?"

Usopp said seriously.

"Makes sense."

Lune nodded approvingly, much to Usopp's delight.

"But just let Vivi disguise herself. As long as Crocodile doesn't know Vivi's whereabouts, it will be fine."
