Chapter 65: The Kingdom of Alabastan
After leaving the Island of Weapons, William and his men drove directly towards the Kingdom of Alabastan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
During the three days on the Island of Weapons, William was the one who benefited the most, not only harvesting the two supreme fast knives of Muramasa and Longquan, but also adding a new member, Oji Lin.
With the exception of Nokigao, Kella, and Baozai, the weapons of the other three have been improved.
Due to Arrita's habit of using a large iron rod, Oji IV inlaid a sea tower stone on the large iron rod, which became a weapon that could be harmful to anyone with any ability. Although Hailou stone is very rare and difficult to process, there is a channel for swordsmiths to find materials. Of course, when stationed in William's body, it is impossible to let Hailou Stone touch the castle, otherwise William will be exhausted.
Then Lynn re-forged a good knife for Anne, after all, her previous saber was not even a good knife, but just an ordinary high-class knife.
Mary, on the other hand, buys a more accurate spear from a famous gun shop on the Island of Weapons, after all, she uses a spear that is not suitable for long-range sniping.
And William also bought two machine guns on the island, as well as some other weapons, anyway, the castle space in his body is very large, and these weapons don't take up much space.
"There is no problem with the route, we should be almost to the Kingdom of Alabastan. Kerra said, looking at the permanent record compass in her hand.
"Is it finally here?" William stood on the bow of the ship and looked out over the boundless sea, as if the Kingdom of Alabastan would come into view in the next moment.
At this time, William's heart was a little nervous and a little worried about their situation.
He was nervous that this was the first time that the Straw Hats had faced an opponent with the strength of the Seven Martial Seas in the real sense, and this was still looking for trouble on the territory of the Seven Martial Seas. For the Straw Hats, Crockdahl is undoubtedly their springboard to become a great voyage powerhouse.
And William is worried about the strength of Crockdahl, although the strength of the Straw Hats has improved a lot under his repeated instructions. But in the face of a veteran pirate like Crockdahl who can be recognized by the world government, the Straw Hats who have just debuted are still a little tender.
In the face of the entire Baroque company, the only one who can be dangerous to the Straw Hats in William's eyes is Crockdahl himself, but he believes that with Luffy's character, he will definitely directly challenge Crockdahl. This kind of thing is difficult to avoid, and if you stop Luffy, it is equivalent to denying Luffy as the captain.
So in order to ensure that Luffy can defeat Crockdahl, he has not been able to analyze the ability of the Rustle Fruit these days. Whether it is combat experience, intelligence, or even his own strength, Krokdal is not at the same level as Luffy. No matter how lightly Krokdal is, he won't stand still like a target and let Luffy beat him up.
"I just talked to Luffy on the phone, Nami's illness has been cured, and I brought an interesting ship doctor on board!"
Previously, everyone was very worried after learning that Nami was accidentally infected with an ancient virus in the "Little Garden" of the Ancient Island, but fortunately, Luffy found a doctor who could treat this disease on Magnetic Drum Island, the country of medicine, and successfully invited a new partner, Tony Tony Chopper, to board as a ship doctor.
"Nami is fine!" Knowing that her partner was safe and sound, everyone felt much more relaxed.
"And we finally have a ship doctor!" said William. Although William knew that Luffy didn't consider that he would become the Straw Hats' ship doctor when he invited this new partner on the ship, it could be regarded as a mistake to find the right person. William was worried about Nami's life, he knew that the ancient virus was deadly, but luckily he was able to catch up with the treatment.
"With the addition of partners, then we have one more chance of winning against the Seven Martial Seas!" Kella said happily.
According to the information she received from the revolutionary army, the situation in the Kingdom of Alabastan is very uncertain today. The root cause of the rebel uprisings was the occasional skirmishes between the king's army and the rebels, as well as the fact that the Kingdom of Alabastan has been suffering from drought for many years, and there is a shortage of food and water.
"But it's not good for us to go head-to-head!" Although Nokigao doesn't know how terrifying Crokdal's strength is, at least from his status and the original bounty amount, it can be guessed that his strength is definitely not ordinary.
"What we're going to do is just break up Crockdahl's power, not fight Crockdahl!" William said this just because he didn't want everyone to worry, and among all the people present, he was probably the only one who was not afraid of Crockdahl.
"The wind and the weather seem to have stabilized!" said Lynn suddenly, who was acting as a makeshift lookout. She knew it was a feature near the sea of an island.
"Yes, this means that we have entered the climate realm of the Kingdom of Alabastan!" Kerra took the telescope and began to observe, saying, "You can already see the land, and in front of you should be the port city of the Kingdom of Alabastan, 'Rape Flower'!"
"The ship that appeared behind it is also evidence that we are about to enter the Kingdom of Alabastan!" said Arrita, pointing to the dozens of large galleons with the Baroque Company logo behind their ship.
"Are those ships the emblems of the Baroque Company?" Mary and Anne were astonished, for it was the first time they had seen a fleet of this size, and they were a little frightened. And Nokigao has lived under the rule of the Evil Dragon Park since he was a child, but he doesn't have many surprised expressions.
"Are we going to kill them, then?" the excited Bao Zai actually started to warm up on the spot, as if he was really planning to do a big job. I have lived alone on the reef for fifty years, and I have never had a good fight since I came out, and I am still very depressed.
"Don't worry about these little minions!" William directly ignored the fleet of the Baroque Company behind him, they only had 8 people now, even if they could take out these low-level members of the Baroque Company, but they were obviously at a disadvantage when facing the high-ranking members of the Baroque Company or even Crockdahl. And they shouldn't be scared now, the first thing they need to do is to gather intelligence in the city of "Rape Flower" and join Luffy and them.
"Then let's go ashore!" When the boat approached the shore of Rape Flower, everyone remained in the castle inside William as usual, and William was the only one in the eyes of outsiders. But they didn't know that William was always carrying a not weak, not weak, not weak army by his side.
"Before Luffy and the others come, let's gather information first!" The best place to gather information is naturally a crowded place, so William tried to go to a restaurant or something like that. Of course, he still wore that cap as always, but he knew very well that Colonel Smoka of Rogue Town was a persevering man, and if he learned that Luffy would appear in Alabastan, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.
However, one thing is very fortunate that since the last time he was recognized by the beautiful Colonel Estanba Cheng, there has been no movement on the side of the Navy Headquarters, and it is obvious that Estanba Cheng did not report his matter.
In a restaurant on the coast, a pockmarked-faced man took out Luffy's wanted warrant and asked the boss about Luffy's whereabouts, and William walked over curiously and asked, "Are you looking for Straw Hat Luffy?"
"Huh, his brother, do you know him?" said Mako.
When he got close to Mako's face, William had already recognized this person as Luffy's brother-in-law, Portcas. D. Ace.
And the Whitebeard logo on his back is evidence of his identity as the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"He's my captain!" William laughed. However, his heart was not happy, because according to his recollections, Luffy in the original book should have appeared at this time, but in fact, Luffy and they had to sail on the sea for at least two days before they could reach the Kingdom of Alabastan.
"Captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, why are you here in this country? D. Ace!" asked a navy man with a cigar in his mouth.
"Sorry, the troublesome man is coming!" After apologetically, William immediately slipped away from the back of the restaurant. Because the person who came in was none other than Colonel Smocha the Smoker from Rogue Town, and although Smoka hadn't seen his appearance, William's hat had never been changed. Now William was just begging Smocha to focus his attention on Ace, rather than suspecting his identity from a hat.
