I, a Celestial Dragon!

Having said that, Gawain smiled and looked towards the pier and dock in the distance, although he couldn't see Crocodile's appearance because the distance was too far.

But Crocodile has already helped him a lot...

Thinking of this, Gawain clapped his hands lightly.

"There's no need to stand here and talk about the sufferings faced by the people of Alabasta. Even though we know that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, we must at least give them hope!

Kalifa, have Franky activate the jet device to increase speed. We should get to the dock as quickly as possible and give them the prepared vegetables, water, and various types of fuel.

After that, we will introduce our great immigration plan to them!"

"As ordered!"

Kalifa immediately took the order and left, and soon after, the Xuanniao suddenly accelerated.

A few minutes later, the Xuanniao, which had consumed a large amount of Coke, finally arrived at the designated stop.

While the boat was stopped, Gawain and his companions took Cobra and boarded the little black bird and headed towards the shore.

Everyone left so quickly that after Ace, who had arranged rooms for his companions, left the cabin and residential area, he couldn't even find a single officer from the Xuanniao!

Not to mention Ace's roar on the ship at Rayleigh for breaking his promise, the Little Black Bird finally stopped at the dock.

At the same time, Gawain and his companions also walked along the ship's side passage towards the countless civilians waiting around them!

At this moment, Crocodile stood in the center of all the civilians. He faced Gawain and knelt down heavily.

Seeing that even the great hero Crocodile had knelt down, the civilians, one after another, were all shortened like dominoes being pushed over.

As for Gawain, he gently raised his hand towards the kneeling crowd.

“Everyone!!!”

The moment Gawain opened his mouth, tens of thousands of dazzling lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the sky behind him!

Under Gawain's control, these thunder and lightning shook the atmosphere with a regular rhythm, and the sounds they made were exactly the same as the words Gawain said!

So, the moment Gawain opened his mouth, his voice also came out from the brilliant thunder in the sky.

Such a scene made everyone, including Gao Wen's men, look incomprehensible.

Yixiao couldn't help but even muttered softly.

"What is going on? Such a loud noise almost made me blind and deaf at the same time...

Why does your development of your Thunder Fruit always make me feel weird?

On the one hand, adults can somehow influence our actions a little.

If this ability is extended to a stronger level, it might even be able to control people's movements.

On the other hand, how did the adult use the sounds of thunder in different shapes to form his own voice?

"Your Excellency's application of the fruit has never extended to combat, has it? Is his talent for development focused on various interesting functions?"

After saying this, he smiled and did not wait for everyone to answer, because everyone was shocked by Gawain's voice, which was so huge and like a god's voice coming from the sky.

They all thought the same as Yixiao. They really wanted to know how Gao Wen's brain circuit worked.

What kind of brain is needed to turn the Thunder Fruit, which has the strongest attack power, into an auxiliary ability that seems to be omnipotent?

……

As for Gawain, he ignored everyone's confusion and shock, and continued to speak to all the civilians around him.

“Perhaps some of you have learned about my identity through newspapers.

I'm Gawain from Marijoa!

Just half a month ago, your king Cobra came before me.

For the sake of you now, he knelt before me that day just like you are now!

He told me tearfully what had happened in Alabasta, and he explained to me his own mistakes in tears!

He knew clearly that drought was a natural phenomenon that could not be controlled by human power, but he would rather take everything on himself!

Because in his opinion, as long as you are not doing well enough, it is his fault!!!"

When Gawain said this, the civilians around him had already shown moved expressions. They looked at Cobra in disbelief, who was following Gawain with tears on his face.

Facing the emotional expressions of countless civilians, Gawain continued to speak to them after a brief pause.

"I learned the whole story from your King Cobra.

It was not until then that I realized that in Alabasta, a country I had not yet reached, such an unimaginable tragedy was happening!

For six whole months, you have been struggling to survive in an increasingly drier desert!

The land no longer grows crops, and water sources are drying up under the scorching sun.

The sunshine that once bathed everyone has now become a murderous blade, shattering your lives and plunging you into an endless fight for a sip of water and food!"

Having said that, Gawain suddenly raised his right hand, and the belly of the Great Black Bird suddenly opened in the distance.

In the opened belly of the Xuanniao, countless barrels and mountains of various vegetables that were relatively easy to preserve were all seen by the civilians of Alabasta!

Suddenly, the civilians started to make a commotion; they knew what was going to happen.

And then, Gawain continued to speak to them who were extremely excited.

"That's right. Following King Cobra's reminder, I quickly gathered all the supplies I could get and loaded them onto my Xuanniao!

Because from the moment I left Mary Geoise, I knew that I would let the black bird in my heart bring what all those who need me need!

So, from now on, everyone obeys my orders!

You must count the current population of Kotlaina City as quickly as possible!

I will distribute the first batch of life-saving fresh water and food to you according to your number!

I will not charge you a penny, because your King Cobra has already paid everything he could!

At the same time, he has to pay more, that is, time and energy, to help me bring you hope for the future!

Before tonight, I want to see you guys do a good headcount!

Then, I will raise my flag with the black bird pattern at a fixed location in this city!

All you have to do is follow the pattern of the black bird, and that is where we will distribute drinking water to you!

Remember, starting from tonight, as long as you complete my requirements and count the corresponding number of people!

The black bird will bring you hope for the future!"

Chapter 228: Strong Dragon, Local Snake

On the Cotlaina Pier, the crowds of people, as big as the mountains and the sea, looked at Gawain, not as if they were looking at God or as if they were looking at hope.

On the contrary, their eyes were as ferocious as a wolf that had been hungry for months looking at a piece of bloody meat!

When Ace was distilling water for them, he was faced with a water source that could only provide a trickle of water no matter how hard Ace tried.

With the help of Crocodile, the people of Cotlana learned to wait.

But now, looking at the water and food filling the entire belly of the Xuanniao...

Especially the mountains of fruits and vegetables!!!

The people who had barely solved their hunger and thirst experienced the feeling of hunger again!

In just a few moments...

The discipline that Crocodile had maintained for more than ten days was about to disappear in the blink of an eye!

The crowd went from being noisy to being agitated, and then from being agitated, they slowly evolved into... being so anxious that they wanted to push and jostle to swim towards the sea!

As for Gawain's words.

There is a very interesting reality, because no matter how big a person standing on the stage and speaking is, people will only listen to what they want to hear!

And now, when the people of Cortlaine heard the food and vegetables they craved, they could hear no other sounds!

If this is a world that is neither mysterious nor extraordinary, few people can stop the current crowd.

The person who could make such a group of people stop would not be someone like Gawain who dropped from the sky, or a big shot who arrived suddenly.

The only one who can stop them is the leader around them who has existed as their belief or hope for a long time.

But this is a fantasy world after all!

Looking at the increasingly restless crowd, Gawain gently closed his eyes.

He just raised his hand slightly, and then pressed his hand into the air.

Click! ! !

With a loud bang, countless lightning bolts fell from the sky in an instant. Those lightning bolts split into arcs and hit the gap between every two people accurately!

The moving electric arcs made the air feel numb, and in just a moment, the hair and body hair of countless people became fluffy!

If someone could record that moment, then people would see it.

At that moment just now, Gao Wenxin's network could only temporarily cover every inch of land within a radius of 4.5 kilometers.

All were covered by the surging thunder, turning into a deep blue sea of ​​thunder!

And after this moment...

The crowd, who were about to be overwhelmed by desire and transform into wild beasts, finally regained the eyes of intelligent creatures.

On the dock, Gawain also opened his eyes and looked around with a smile.

He had to admit that the fruits of nature did have an innate power to shock people, like a natural disaster or thunderstorm!

Although the domineering color can also intimidate everyone here.

But the domineering coma is not suitable in the current scenario.

After making sure that the crowd had regained their sanity, Gawain gently withdrew his hand.

Then, his gentle voice continued to spread out from the thunder field in the sky.

He just said softly.

"Guys, it looks like you can't wait any longer. The water and food are right in front of you. As long as you follow my orders and do a good job of counting the number of people, you can get them!

So, if we don’t start counting now, when will we start?

Wait until I lose my temper?"

After saying this, Gawain separated a ray of lightning and appeared next to Kalifa's ear.

Suddenly, Khalifa's ears heard a series of subtle electronic sounds.

After receiving Gawain's instructions, Kalifa immediately took all the members of the logistics and finance departments to disperse some of the crowd at the dock.

Then, they raised the flag of the Black Bird Group directly in the city of Kotlaina in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Afterwards, people holding flags left the dock and headed to various locations in the city.

When those people left, the people of Kotlena instinctively followed their footsteps, splitting into countless branches and coming to relatively empty areas in the city.

At the same time, Gawain smiled and said to Cobra as he watched the crowd disperse.

“King Cobra, for now we just have to wait for the crowd to be arranged.

If you don't want to just sit there and watch, you can participate. If you're interested, just contact Kalifa or Lucci."

Having said that, Gawain nodded slightly to Cobra, and without waiting for Cobra's answer, he walked away on his own.

As he moved, the members of the Xuanniao Group naturally passed Cobra and Vivi and followed Gawain's footsteps.

Beside Cobra, Vivi stared at the crowd in the distance with fascinated eyes. In her eyes, even Uta and Shirahoshi were following Gawain in a dignified manner.

In the eyes of those two girls who were about the same age as her, Weiwei could not see any nervousness at all, let alone even the slightest trace of fear!

It was as if, as long as they followed that person, no one in the world could hurt them anymore!

For a moment, Weiwei couldn't help but reveal an envious look.

We are girls of the same age, so why is she so nervous now?

Is it just because I didn’t bring the black bird badge and I don’t have the qualifications to call that person sir?
