Early the next morning.

Between the rebel base of Katerea, and the capital city of Arubana, there is a river that runs through the entire Kingdom of Alabastan.

This is the key to the survival of the desert kingdom of Alabastan, and it is not an exaggeration to make it the "mother river of Alabastan".

It's just that today here in the "Mother River", there seem to be some small accidents.

……

……

"Rab, you've really gotten a lot bigger lately!?

It seems that the creatures of the Great Voyage have not lived a very peaceful life lately......"

Luffy, who rarely got up early to get here, said with a laugh while stroking Rab's exposed skin, which may be at the chin level.

"Bo Oooo~"

Rab, who was being touched by Luffy, suddenly let out an uncomfortable cry, as if he was complaining about something.

Immediately after that, the huge body struggled to writhe in the river twice, desperately.

The huge body with terrifying power was stunned to stretch out a small lake on both sides of the river, which was not very rich.

In an instant, the river that had been intercepted by Rab's body was connected again.

Convective waves rolled wildly, pouring into the crater beneath Rab.

Nourish the slightly wrinkled skin on Rab's body into a smooth and shiny appearance again.

"Wave Boom~"

Escaping the heat of the desert and returning to the cold deep water, Rab let out a cry of satisfaction.

In this newly-born small lake, the body directly turned over a 180-degree roll, and the area of the small lake was expanded by a few points.

Luffy showed a slightly helpless expression, and while falling backwards, avoiding the splash caused by Rab's movements, he looked at Rab playing in the lake like a child.

It was a long time before Rab had expanded the river that fed the people of the kingdom of Alabastan.

On the opposite side of the river bank where Luffy was, a puff of smoke and dust gradually rose in the sky.

The overwhelming sand quickly spread in Luffy's direction.

The location where Luffy is now was told to him by Klockdahl yesterday.

According to the intelligence of his agents planted in the rebel army, the leader of the rebel army today, Kosha, will lead an army of 600,000 people to cross the river.

And then directly attack the capital Arubana, intending to take the entire power of Alabastan in one fell swoop!

Six hundred thousand, a terrible number!

Even 600,000 ants are enough to make a huge noise.

What's more, these are 600,000 physically strong young people!

The earth-shattering footsteps trampled on the soft sand, bringing up waves of flying sand.

The wild sand that rolled up in the sky, like the power of nature, gradually enveloped the advancing army.

The dust curtain, which was even more terrible than the sandstorm, dyed the entire sky gray and yellow.

……

……

"Kosha, you're about to get to your chosen location.

Let the brothers prepare the tools for crossing the river! ”

At the front of the line, a man on a camel and wearing goggles suddenly sped forward and said to Kosha, who was in the lead.

Kosha raised one hand, his fingers together, making a flak, and propped it up on his eyebrows, immediately blocking the sky. The sunshine looked ahead, but said slowly:

"Hmmm! You get your brothers ready first! ”

I don't know if it's his delusion, but Kosha always felt as if there was something strange in their target.

It was dark, too far away, and he didn't see it clearly.

However, for a large army of 600,000 people, every time there is a pause, the waste of resources is a terrible amount.

Therefore, Kosha did not give the order to stop, but still led the team and marched straight forward.

He really didn't think that there was anything that their huge team couldn't solve.

Until......

They saw the mountain!

……

……

"This ...... What is it? ”

The rebels, who had been ready to cross the river, were laid out in a black patch and stopped in front of the river.

Kosha, who was at the head of the group, stepped off his camel and walked to the bank of the river.

I look at a small lake that is completely different from my impression, and in the middle of the lake, there is an unidentified object as huge as a hill.

"Ah~"

"You're finally here......"

Just as Kosha and the 600,000 rebels were curiously surveying their surroundings, a lazy voice suddenly came from the top of the hill.

The figure of a young man suddenly appeared on the top of the black hill.

Under the blazing sunlight, Kosha could only see a pure black figure, but his facial expression was completely unclear.

It was only from the man's condescending momentum that Kou Sha faintly felt a trace of unusual charm, as if he had seen a wild beast in the wild forest.

The anxiety in my heart has not stopped since the appearance of the dark shadow.

And the more he tried to see the whole picture of the man, the more intense the sense of panic became.

Luffy took advantage of Rab's smooth skin surface, directly like skating, and took advantage of the circular arc of Rab's huge body, and slid down directly.

When he was still a certain distance from the surface of the lake, he jumped lightly and jumped in front of the rebels and Kosha.

Swish!!!

Suddenly!

The muzzle of tens of thousands of guns was pointed at Luffy and the hill behind Luffy at the same time!

Just now, they seemed to see the hill and trembled slightly.

Several cronies near Kosha also suddenly grabbed their weapons and pointed sharp blades and spikes at Luffy.

"Who are you!?"

Kosha instantly drew his waist knife and shouted at Luffy who suddenly appeared.

Even behind him, there is an army of 600,000 people.

But at this moment, he still had a bad mood.

However......

Luffy, who was being watched by an army of 600,000, acted like no one.

It's just that after being a little amazed by the black overwhelming crowd of people, he shifted his attention to Kosha at the front of the crowd again.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

It is hard to imagine the scene of a team of 600,000 people standing up straight in unison, all the spirit concentrated in front of them, but not saying a word.

Just because ......

In the hearts of each of them, it was as if they were shrouded in a dark cloud of terrifying thunder and lightning at this moment.

But if they had the slightest thought of any movement, the power that came from the thunder and lightning would fall on their hearts.

It is a kind of fear that the lower creature will only have when it sees the superior creature.

After a slight glance at the composition of the rebel army, Luffy turned his gaze to Kosha again and said:

"You're Vivi's Kosha, aren't you?

The leader of the rebel army ......"

"Vivi......?"

"You said Vivi ...... her"

Kou Sha, who is with Weiwei's childhood sweetheart, is about to ask something.

But when he thought of his current identity and what he was about to do, he immediately stopped what he had already spoken.

His face changed instantly, hiding the deep concern in his heart, and replaced it with a resolute expression, and said to Luffy:

"So, you're sent by Princess Vivi......"

"I'm not going to kill you!

Go back and tell Princess Vivi that King Kobra has gone too far!

At this point, things can't turn around! ”

The blade glowing with cold light swung down hard, and Kosha motioned to everyone to put down their weapons in an extremely atmospheric manner.

It's just that Luffy was kindly "let go" by Kosha, and he was suddenly a little helpless and funny.

Staring at Kosha, who was still pretentious, thinking that he could save Alabastan.

Perhaps, if it weren't for Luffy's appearance, the power of this country might really be in the hands of another master.

It's a pity that he came.

With calm eyes, he glanced at the 600,000 army in front of him again, and Luffy muttered softly:

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon."

"It doesn't hurt at all~"
