As soon as the guns of the uprising rang out, the people of the Royalist Regiment immediately reacted and mobilized the nearest troops to suppress the uprising.
But the rebel army is a force with a clear goal of struggle, and it will not be defeated.
The fighting lasted two days, avoiding areas of the city where crowds gathered, and the gunfire barely stopped.
"Victory!" After two days of fighting, the rebels finally captured the last position of the old army, which also represented the liberation of the port city.
"Victory!"
"Even~~"
"Hooray!!"
Saori was also on the front line, and a smile appeared on her face, "Herald, report that our rebel army has liberated the city, so let the soldiers not disturb the citizens and maintain order." ”
"Yes!" the herald's face couldn't hide his smile.
Now that the first step is complete, it's time to see how many cities will respond.
The news soon reached all corners of the city, while continuing to spread outward, and the whole country was boiling.
Revolutionary activists from all over the country responded to the call of the rebel army, either directly to revolt or rushed to this holy city to complete the revolution.
For a time, there was turmoil everywhere in Alabastan, and some of the great nobles who had fallen to the king began to associate themselves with the revolutionary party.
And the loyal royalists also began to put themselves in danger.
At this time, the king gave a foolish order, that is, all the nobles and city leaders who were still under the king's power should organize their own armies to surround the land, and not let the rebels rob it.
The king did not have an army in his hands, and Alabastan was originally vast and sparsely populated. Later, after Duran injected capital, the king's life was very comfortable, and Duran built an airship base to connect the whole country. It has also invested in the establishment of several new cities. The king only had to collect money, and as for the construction of the army, it was only in a few new cities. And now the newly created new army has turned into an insurrectionary army. The rest of the army was formed a long time ago, and it was better to say that it was an army than an escort to protect the royal city.
So now the king's army is only the king's, and that army cannot be mobilized.
So with this, let the leaders of the localities organize their own armed forces. However, it can also be difficult, because of the lack of weapons, although Alabastan is not poor now, it still lacks an industrial base. Even the guns have always been given by Duran, but the amount given by Duran is enough for the king.
Therefore, if the leaders of various places want to build their own armies, weapons must be purchased from other countries. And the most convenient is the full-time Hunter Guild.
Shortly after the rebels' success, the Hunters' Guild received a lot of orders for weapons. Duran refused to accept orders, they were not arms dealers, and they bought weapons against their daughter, so of course they couldn't cause trouble for her.
There is no Hunter Guild Shutdown Weapon, and I don't know which powerful person actually contacted the Sand Crocodile, one of the Seven Martial Seas.
At the same time, Robin announced to the nation the establishment of a new coalition provisional government, announcing the establishment of an independent government in six cities, including Port City, from the Kingdom of Alabastan.
In short, the country is in turmoil, and several forces have emerged, and of course the strongest is the rising new union. Although there are only six cities in the new union, they are all very wealthy cities, and the new union also has several new armies, and the power is strong.
There is also the Royalist Order, with the king as the core, who governs most of the land and people of Alabastan. Although the military strength was weak, those people were accustomed to the rule of the king.
The third strength is the nobleman of the Sand Crocodile who has the ultimate combat power fruit ability.
The others are just negligible.
In this case, Princess Weiwei returned, she sat on the Golden Merry, and had become Luffy's friend.
Luffy and the others did not stop at Haikou City, but went directly to the river that ran through the kingdom.
"If you're going to take the exam, it's the closest road, dock on the east coast, then do the airship, and walk northeast for half an hour to the Hunter's Arena. "Princess Vivi used to take different routes to see the Hunter Exam.
"Airship?" Luffy wondered.
"That's the most famous means of transportation in Alabastan, and you can get there by airship wherever you go. Princess Vivi said proudly.
"Really, it's amazing, can you get to the end of the great voyage? Chopper asked silly.
"I'm talking about anywhere in our Alabastan. Princess Vivi laughed.
"I haven't seen a real airship yet, but my senior sister told me!" Luffy said. Robin is the same sister to Luffy as Magino, and when he was a child, Luffy liked to listen to Robin tell her what she saw.
"You will soon be able to sit down, and then I will invite you to the kingdom for a great meal. ”
"Yay!"
Everyone was happy to hear that they were going to have a big meal.
Luffy and the others didn't eat any big fish and meat all the way out of Drum Island, although Sanji's cooking skills were very good. But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice.
This river is the mother of Alabastan, and the kingdom of Inner 6 depends on this river for its survival, but even so, most of Inner 6 is still desert.
There are several large cities on the banks of the river, and the Golden Merry is such a place. Princess Vivi's appearance was not immediately revealed, because no one thought that Princess Vivi was not her own ship, but a pirate ship.
Fortunately, at the request of Princess Vivi, the pirate flag was lowered and slowly slid into the small port.
"Welcome to Alabastan!" Princess Vivi is the host, and she will be the guide for the rest of the journey.
"Let's go on an airship. Luffy shouted.
"Good!" Princess Vivi replied, but soon felt pressured, "Do you have any money?"
"......" silence.
Nami exaggeratedly covered her purse, "We didn't go, aren't you a princess?
"Of course I'm not short of money, but I don't have any money on me!" Princess Vivi said embarrassedly.
"Nami, get the money out. Luffy stared at Nami.
"Don't!" A boatload of people, only Nami is rich.
"Nami, go back to the palace, and I'll give you back the money you spent. Princess Vivi said.
"No, you have to calculate interest. ”
"Okay, calculate the interest!" Princess Vivi agreed very simply.
Five people and one pet don't cost much, but now it's the time for the hunter exam, so there is a shortage of tickets to the hunter arena.
Later, they still found a scalper to get a ticket, but Luffy, of course, they didn't pay, but punched the scalper away. Because Princess Weiwei is here, there is no problem at all, and she is a scalper who breaks the law anyway.
Then they got on the ship and went to the Hunter's Arena.
