I, a Celestial Dragon!

First of all, Ace's attack was not successful. Secondly, it would be a good idea to use this opportunity and Gawain's identity to get rid of Ace who has been destroying his drought plan!

During the days that Ace stayed in Kotlaina, he attracted countless people to flock to Kotlaina. Even the original rebels came to Kotlaina after learning that there was distilled water in Kotlaina that could keep people alive.

All their thoughts of rebellion disappeared!

In this world of Alabasta, if life is not really unsustainable, how many people would rebel against the usually extremely kind King Cobra?

In short, Crocodile was annoyed to death by Ace, and if he could get rid of Ace with the help of Gawain, that would be a perfect result for him.

Thinking of this, Crocodile looked at the Xuanniao with more and more ease.

But soon after, the relaxed Crocodile received a call from the guard captain Ikalem.

The call lasted only half a minute, and when Crocodile put the phone in his pocket.

There was no sign of relief on his face!

I saw him grit his teeth and exhale heavily.

“Damn it, that Ace is actually the son of Pirate King Roger!

how can that be!

The photos of me and that guy working together to distill water to save civilians are about to be spread throughout Alabasta by Baroque Works!

If others see me and Ace arm in arm..."

Having said that, Crocodile took a long puff of his cigar in frustration.

"Oh no, I'm about to become the evil accomplice of the Pirate King's son!"

Chapter 227 Gao Wensheng is here!

On the Xuanniao, Gawain raised his head thoughtfully after hearing the conversation between Cobra and Ikalem.

"Cobra, I just happened to be talking to you about Crocodile, and you mentioned him."

After he finished speaking, Gawain looked towards the dock of Cotlaina from afar.

"Before, you asked me how much I would have to pay to make up for the help I brought you and repay the efforts I made for you.

Then let me tell you, you don’t have to pay much at all.

Because what you have paid for is probably only one person and one thing!"

"Who and what?"

Cobra immediately became nervous!

Looking at the nervous Cobra, Gawain waved his hand gently.

"Don't worry, the person you are going to sacrifice has no special relationship with you. He is the Crocodile you just mentioned!"

Having said that, Gawain raised his hand and pointed at Hancock who was playing tennis not far away.

“Look, there are three Shichibukai on my ship, so you should know exactly what I want.

Since I already have three, how can the remaining four slip away from me?"

Gawain leisurely raised the wine glass in his hand, and after lightly clinking it with Cobra's, he put the glass to his lips.

At the same time, he said softly.

“Although there are one or two Shichibukai whose styles are not very close to mine.

And the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will eventually have to be replaced in my hands.

But Crocodile, he shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't match my style, right? "

After saying that, Gawain smiled and drank the whole glass of wine.

At the same time, Cobra nodded heavily.

“Indeed, Gao Wensheng, ever since you left Marijoa, you have been bringing a lot of help to the islands you passed by!

And Crocodile is also famous for helping the people of Alabasta, the national hero of Alabasta!"

On the side, listening to Cobra's words, Gawain nodded slightly.

“Yes, I am a kind person, and Crocodile is a kind hero.

So for me, it is really a waste to let Crocodile, who possesses the natural Sand-Sand Fruit, continue to stay in your country!

What's more, as a king, you should also have the most basic gratitude towards the heroes who have helped you for more than ten years.

I want to send your hero to a bigger platform so that he can have higher achievements and a better future.

This is only natural!"

After he finished speaking, Gawain stood up on his own, leaving Cobra, who looked helpless and wanted to know what that thing was, alone here.

Then, Gawain walked towards the side of the ship where he was going to disembark.

Seeing Gawain approaching the disembarkation point, the group of people, who were busy with their own things, immediately gathered around Gawain.

Hancock and Gion stopped playing tennis, and Hancock came to Gawain.

"Gawain, we are still about seven or eight nautical miles from the coast. Why are you here so early to wait for disembarkation?"

As soon as Hancock finished speaking, Bai Xing, who was not far away and looked excited, answered Hancock's question on behalf of Gawain.

Bai Xing said with great excitement.

“Your Excellency must be just like me, eager to see the legendary desert!

That’s a desert. There may be forests in the ocean, but there really is no desert. I’m really looking forward to it!!!”

"cut!"

After Bai Xing finished speaking, Uta, who was sitting on her shoulder, shook her head in disdain.

“Do you think Gawain is a kid like you? He wouldn’t do it for the desert!

Right Gawain, you must have other plans, right? "

"maybe."

Gawain nodded gently.

Hearing this, everyone around looked towards Gao Wen.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Gao Wen said to them with a smile.

"Take a good look at Alabasta. It is one of the most populous islands in the world!"

Speaking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but think of the original plot of One Piece.

Three years later, when Luffy and his crew arrived in Alabasta, this country had experienced three years of severe drought and famine, and countless wars and fighting had broken out within the country.

They were able to gather two million strong rebels and launch an attack on Albanas capital!

That’s a full two million rebels!

Not just mobs and refugees!

What's more, three years later, the population of Alabasta had been greatly reduced by the persistent drought!

Some things never seem strange when you see them in comics.

But put it into reality...

When the Yellow Turbans revolted, there were only 600,000 people who could be called soldiers...

Therefore, the Alabasta rebellion, which seemed to be understated in the comics, was actually three times the size of the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

From this we can see that the population of Alabasta alone definitely exceeds the total population of the Han Dynasty during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

……

Thinking of this, Gawain raised his hand with interest and pointed towards the land in the distance.

"There are at least tens of millions of people living on this land, and this vast island can also be ranked among the top ten largest islands in the world.

Facing such a piece of land, shouldn’t I have a special feeling? "

After saying that, Gawain looked at everyone with a smile.

Facing Gawain's eyes, Rayleigh and others immediately understood that their captain had indeed dropped the fishing line next to this entire country.

Only Shirahoshi and Uta...

After hearing Gao Wen's words, the two of them looked at each other, then looked at Gao Wen in confusion.

"grown ups……"

Uta couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

“But, Alabasta seems to be Vivi’s country.

How big is her country and what does it have to do with us?"

When saying this, Uta couldn't help but look at Weiwei who was a few hundred meters away.

In her eyes, Weiwei was talking to Cobra with reluctance on her face.

On the side, listening to Uta's question, Gawain thought about it for a moment with amusement.

Then he raised his hand, and a hand made of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

The hand came to Shirahoshi's shoulder and patted Uta's head.

“They certainly have nothing to do with us, but they have a lot to do with the help we need to provide.

Don’t forget, we are here to save them!”

"I understand!"

Hearing Gawain say this, Uta frowned suddenly.

“It turns out that you are not looking forward to it, but worried.

Because there are too many people in Weiwei's country, and this place is too big, we...can't we save them all?"

Uta said this with a sad expression on his face.

Seeing Uta's sad look, Gawain gently rubbed Uta's hair.

“It’s the best if you can think like this, but don’t worry.

No matter how terrible the disaster is, as long as those in power and those in high positions, that is, those who control the vast majority of resources, are truly willing to work together and make rescue a top priority.

Then they will definitely be able to overcome those disasters.

Throughout history, any disaster that gradually evolved into a more severe one was not a real disaster, but the result of the inaction of the powerful! "

After he finished speaking, Gawain let go of Uta and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

There is no need to let a child know too many realistic things. She will naturally understand many things when she grows up.

As for what I said...

Gawain turned to look at the crowd, and saw that except for the two children, everyone else looked at Gawain with an understanding look.

Oh, by the way, Yixiao should also be excluded here.

After all, Mr. Yixiao has no eyes...

And then, after a moment of thought, Kalifa spoke softly to Gawain.

“Sir, since Alabasta has such a large population, can we help them immigrate in the face of such a disaster?

After all, whether it is Gaya Island or Changhuan Island, they are both vast and sparsely populated.

Gaya Island is okay, it can only accommodate about one to two million people.

But if the ten huge islands of Changhuan Island were developed into farms, they could at least feed eight or nine million people, right?"

"you're right!"

As soon as Kalifa finished speaking, Gawain responded to Kalifa's words, and he simply nodded.

"With such a large population, our relief alone cannot provide them with enough food and clothing.

Therefore, compared with relief, immigration is the best method. "
