Luffy and they meet Robin's acquaintance in Albana, Carpenter, a mechanic who was once a member of the One Piece ship.

As he traveled the world, he discovered a cost-effective way to desalinate seawater, so he returned to Alabastan and perfected Alabastan's water system. By the way, he also developed something like running water.

Tap water is centrally produced and then transported by pipeline. This can lead to significant cost savings.

The places in the desert where the army is stationed are the places where fresh water is produced. Those locations are a top priority in this country. Naturally, there are soldier handles.

When Robin asked Carpenter if he knew what Crocodale was up to, she was surprised to get the answer.

Carpenter said he probably knew what Crocodall wanted to do. But he didn't bother to bother at all.

Robin then asks why. Carpenter said Crocodall was just trying to get a shot at the Navy. He did not harm the interests of Alabastan. And he, Carpenter, used to be a pirate too.

In fact, what about the Navy? What about pirates? The only thing that has really done damage to Alabastan is the World Government.

The pirates in the first half of the Great Voyage were no less than a few opponents of the King's Army. Even the occasional few who were able to outlast the King's army were not interested in burning and looting the things that would cost ordinary civilians.

Now that Klockdahl is under protection, it's even harder for pirates to inflict losses on them.

As for the droughts that broke out later, Robin cleverly pointed out that Klockdahl was responsible.

But it can be seen that Carpenter doesn't mind much of this. Even though Alabastan has been dry for so many years, there is no shortage of water. The lives of civilians have remained largely unaffected.

In this case, it would be nice for Carpenter to be neutral with Alabastan and not to target the navy.

Besides, without tangible evidence, how could civilians believe that Klockdahl was the culprit of the drought in Alabastan for so many years?

Even Kobra doesn't necessarily have a clear idea of this. But Kobra isn't necessarily unclear. But he's just a king.

All he needs to do is be accountable to his people. He did suspect that there was something wrong with Klockdahl as well. But there is nothing left in their country to covet Klockdahl.

Albana, where the navy's supply ships were on board, Kobra also knew. But it was as if nothing had happened.

He could not have risked provoking the anger of the people by ordering the King's army to attack Klockdal.

Of course, it is impossible to get him to want the Navy to be held accountable. This is not the Navy's business. He Kobra knew that in his heart.

It is unlikely that he will have a clear conscience to detain this pot to the Navy. Therefore, he could only helplessly stand by and watch what happened in his country.

But fortunately, except for the cities, all the landforms in their country are basically desert areas without human settlements.

And with Crocodall's temperament, it is impossible for him to leave the rain and hide in other towns in Alabastan.

Now that he had made up his mind to sit idly by, Kobra really ignored the matter. He didn't even care about the gathered civilians who were going to call the World Government accountable for the Navy.

As the king of Alabastan, he really restrained the king's army and let it all develop......

……

Luffy, who was going to leave here, ended up getting involved in this turmoil. However, he did not count any of the living naval forces of Klockdahl.

He is a third party, a third party that is incompatible with both parties. That is, he also fights with Klockdahl's people, and he also fights with the people in the navy.

The reasons for getting involved are also bizarre. The group was attacked by a saloon roll as they left Albana.

Sharon did not know who attacked them. There is also a more prosperous town. This incident irritated Luffy.

So Luffy planned to stand up for the townspeople. In fact, not even the people of that town blamed Klockdahl!

In their eyes, Klocodahl is standing up for them! The Navy's unauthorized use of dancing powder has led to a drought in their country.

Even their king can't get justice for them, but their hero Crockdahl is standing up for them! Clean up the navy that oppressed them for them!

So, Luffy didn't know anything, and led his people to break into the battlefield between Smoggatina and Klockdahl, or when the two of them were basically defeated.

After Luffy and the others joined, the battle was over quickly. The Navy didn't win, but neither did the pirates.

Klockdahl left Alabastan with the men of his Baroque work community on board the ships they had prepared long ago. Replaced by Luffy, they and Smoker went to war.

This kind of thing was actually something that Klockdahl had thought about a long time ago. Against Tina, he was sure to win. Even if there was a little surprise in the plan, he would still win with one more Smog.

But even if you win, what if you win? Stay in Alabastan as a target? He's not that brainless.

He is not the king of Alabastan. The Navy was under no pressure to deal with him. Even if the people of Alabastan can't stand it, it doesn't matter if they want to help him. There is no problem with the Navy to clean up in one piece!

Therefore, he had long planned to pack up the navy and tie it up and throw it to Albana and then leave.

In that case, even if the navy is killed by the angry Albanans, it will not matter to him.

But he didn't expect that a troublemaker would appear in the end and help the navy force a draw with him.

But it doesn't matter. Although there was a slight flaw in the final plan, Alabastan was not dragged into the water. But it doesn't hurt.

So, Crockdahl alone dragged the navy and let his men prepare for the sea.

Now, with a cigar in his mouth, Klockdahl stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the drifting Alabastan with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Reluctant? Dazbonis, with a thick bandage on his chest, walked up behind Crockdahl and spoke.

Crocodall didn't answer his question, he wrote down the little cigar in his hand in one gulp, and waited it out into the sea.

Crocodall let out a long puff of smoke and turned to walk towards the deck. He rubbed shoulders with Dazbonis.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. But at least the people of Alabastan won't trust the Navy news anymore. ”

At the same time, out of the harbor of Alabastan, in a remote corner, a pirate ship with a clown bow image turned out.

"Captain Bucky, this guy with a straw hat seems like an idiot. He also helped the Navy fight pirates. ”

Mochi stood behind Bucky, touching his chin with a thoughtful look.

"It's capricious. In that respect, he seems to be a good deserving of that straw hat......"

Bucky's movements were the same as Moki's, and he was rubbing his chin as well......

On the other side behind Bucky, Kabaji had just raised his hand and put it down again. Rubbing your chin is a good pose.

But he didn't want to pose with the two big idiots in front of him and beside him!
