Chapter 22: The Verge
The Intrauras, on the tower of Albana. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the first and last line of defense against the rebels, Albana's walls were built extremely well. Although it was a time of peace, the kings of Alabastan never stopped maintaining the city walls. Even because it is located in the middle of the desert, the maintenance of the walls is extremely expensive.
At this time, Gaka the "Jackal", who was the supreme defense chief of the King's Army, was patrolling the city walls. His heart was full of sorrow and resentment about the battle that was about to break out, but he was just a guard chief, but he couldn't do anything. We can only do our best to defend this line of defense as we do now.
As long as the walls remain, the fighting will not affect civilians. This is the persistence he holds to today.
"What? What did you say? Crockdahl in Albana? Gaka frowned and questioned his subordinates, once again confirming the news.
"Yes, at the most critical time for the country, the hero of Alabastan, Mr. Crockdahl came to Albana's aid!" The person who said this happened to be the captain of the patrol team that had just separated from Crockdahl. After meeting Crockdahl, he resisted his excitement and hurried to report to his captain. If you want more soldiers of the King's Army to know the good news, the low morale will definitely improve.
However, it is clear that his immediate boss is not happy, but rather frowns.
"Your Excellency...... It's offensive, but ...... Wouldn't it be nice to have news of Crockdahl joining? The team leader asked in a whisper.
"Well, you should step back first. By the way, the matter of Crockdahl must be kept secret and not let too many people know. Gaca said with a frown.
"Yes......" Although he was very confused by his boss's order, the team leader nodded and left. However, there was nothing he could do about the news of the blockade of Krokdal. Because, equally excited, his team members have already spread the news. There are even rumors that Krokdal has brought many reinforcements. For a while, the morale of the king's army really became high.
"Lord Gaka, you ......" After the team leader left, Gaka's deputy couldn't wait to express his doubts.
Interrupting his deputy's words with a wave of his hand, Gaka said categorically: "I just don't like this sinister crocodile, nothing else, don't think about it." The most important thing now is to think about how to meet the upcoming decisive battle, there is no way to win by Krokdal alone, so it is better to take care and not expect too much. Moreover, the best situation is a peaceful settlement, isn't it? ”
"Ah......h Because he knows that the four words of peaceful settlement, in this case, can only be an illusion.
The battle has reached the brink of an outbreak.
"Hmph...... Crockdahl, I hope you don't play tricks, otherwise, my jackal's gaka will definitely not spare you......" Gaka touched the badge on his shoulder, which was the emblem of the acting captain of the Alabastan Kingdom Guard.
The disappearance of Captain Ikalem of the Guard has placed him with greater responsibility.
"Report!" Suddenly, a rapid shout came from far and near. Then, a huge vulture swooped down, and a man in an earthy yellow cloak jumped down on the vulture's back and fell to his knees in front of Gaca.
"Report to Acting Captain Gaca, we have found traces of Vice Captain Bell, but Vice Captain Bell seems to be under siege, and the situation is not good......" The man's voice was fast, and the report was finished like a jumping bean.
"Hayabusa no Bell? Hahaha, great, finally have news from you! Well done, Bram. You Birdclaw Troopers have worked hard! Gaka exclaimed excitedly, "Found you, Bell, I finally have a chance to learn the truth of everything, don't die until I arrive!" ”
Less than twenty kilometers from Albana's battlefield, a huge hermit crab was speeding through the desert, and the dust raised formed a sandstorm behind the hermit crab. If it weren't for the hermit crab's speed, he might have been drowned in a sandstorm himself.
On the hermit crab's body, where a pair of typical lust-obsessed eyes stared, Nami was wearing sexy hot pants and a bikini-like vest, dancing, and screaming unpleasantly as she danced.
"Hey! How can there be such a crab, it's so **, and the more you show him sexy things, the faster you run, hey, Shanzhi you die! ”
"Ahh It's coming soon! Luffy put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and it seemed that he could see Albana directly.
"Humph! Not good at all! Nami screamed in displeasure, but she didn't dare to stop dancing. Otherwise, this ** crab should strike.
"Hmph, when I get to my destination, I must eat braised hairy crab!"
"Wow~ Nami-san is so beautiful!" Sanji squirmed around Nami like a noodle, and Nami was unmoved by Nami's kicking and shouting. At this time, Sauron, who usually provokes him, completely ignores him, and the reason is that Sauron is sleeping.
"Sanji, you will die for me!"
"Hehe......" Princess Weiwei looked at the few people interacting, and the slight tension in her heart couldn't help but relax.
"They can do it, they can do it! Although they look unreliable, they are all very reliable partners......" thought, Princess Weiwei caressed the bandage on her arm.
"Boom!"
The sudden loud bang interrupted Princess Weiwei's thoughts, and at the same time surprised several other people on the hermit crab. Then, as if it had lost its footing, the giant hermit crab rolled forward, folding the Straw Hat Pirates in unison. However, in the midst of this huge tremor, Sauron still maintained his perfect sleeping position, falling to the ground smoothly, and the snoring sound did not sound slowly.
"This is ......" The Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other, puzzled.
However, their doubts did not last long, and then in the huge sand and dust brought up by the fall of the hermit crab, two shadows, one tall and one short, gradually appeared.
"Yo~mr.4, is this the goal, it's really vulnerable! Hahahaha, it seems that the first credit is mine! Don't you rob me! The dust cleared, and the short, man-turned-old woman, who looked like a mole, burst out like a machine gun. And it seems to be a mantra, there will be some swear words between sentences from time to time, but they are blocked by her extremely fast speed, but there is a strange sense of harmony.
If this old woman is a very impatient, foul-mouthed, and harmonious person, then the other tall person, Mr. 4, is the complete opposite.
Mr.4 appears to be tall, fat, and clumsy, and like his counterpart, he speaks so slowly that he is snatched away by the other party as soon as he utters a few words.
"Ah, yes, rrychristams......"
Ignoring the other party's shouting, Luffy pressed his straw hat so that it would not be blown away by the wind, and turned his head to ask Princess Weiwei.
"These people are enemies, aren't they?"
"Hmm."
"Well, let's just beat it up......"
"Luffy ......"
"If you are an enemy, it would be good if you beat it off!" Luffy pulled up his non-existent sleeve and said with a gloomy face.
"Luffy......" Seeing Luffy's appearance, Princess Weiwei couldn't help but exclaim worriedly.
"It's okay, I haven't seen Luffy lose to anyone, hehe, rest assured!" Nami's hand appeared on Princess Weiwei's shoulder, patted it gently, and said with a smile. I don't know why, Princess Weiwei, who was a little worried just now, suddenly calmed down because of this.
"Hahahaha, did you hear that? He said he was going to beat me up? Beat me up! Is it possible, absolutely impossible, hahahaha, it's funny! Hey, you laugh too, what a funny thing to be like this idiot, it's really embarrassing for me, shame! The old woman, like a mole, kept whining, and her short hands kept jumping and beating her partner's tall and fierce shoulders, which was indescribably funny.
"Ahh She was greeted by her partner's slow, goofy laughter, as if laughing word by word.
"Idiot, idiot! Shame on me, you idiot! Rrychristams angrily slapped Mr. 4 on the shoulder, making a "snap" sound.
"Hey......" When these two people interacted, Usopp couldn't help but hang a drop of sweat on the back of his head, "These two people can't be comedians......"
"This ...... This ......" Chopper, who was in cute form, stammered as he stretched out his hooves and hands that were divided into two petals.
"Uh......" Usopp continued to sweat, and he, who had not expected a response, actually got Chopper's answer, albeit specious.
"By the way, Chopper......" Usopp squatted down, put his palm next to his face, and whispered to Chopper, "Looking at the two guys, they don't look strong at all, and according to the plot in the novel, generally the sooner the guy appears, the weaker the ......"
"Huh? Usopp, what do you want to say? Chopper asked confusedly.
"Why are you so stupid!" Usopp said hatefully, "The next trip will definitely become more and more dangerous, since we all have to fight, of course we have to choose the weak one!" These two guys were the first to appear, and they didn't seem to be strong at all, so ......"
"Huh?" Chopper continued to be confused.
"Uh......" Usopp said bluntly with black lines hanging on the back of his head, "we will fight them, and of course we must choose the weakest one!" And you can say that after the fight it was too badly injured and then stop, haha, I'm so witty! At the end, Usopp couldn't help but laugh proudly, and his long nose was cocked.
