Alabastan, the capital of Nayalona.

It's a desert city that looks like a vibrant desert city from the outside, with frequent rainfall and a comfortable environment, and no one would not have embraced such a king, at least in the eyes of others. However, after the news of dancing fans came out, the city became the focus. I thought it was the king's special that brought rain to this city that was not found in other regions, but all this happened with the help of dancing fans, commonly known as rain-calling fans, to plunder the rainfall from other regions. Almost all of them pointed the finger at the king, and even the inhabitants of the city did not dare to speak out to help the king in front of the inhabitants who had been full of grievances after more than two years of drought.

The seemingly vibrant city has buried countless hidden dangers. If you look at a politician who knows all this, it is estimated that the country has a few years left at most without any push or change.

Under such a scorching sun, a large desert palace, one of the rooms in it, slowly lowered the curtains. This is a normal practice in the desert to block the sunlight coming in from the outside, as the scorching ultraviolet rays can burn the skin. However, the man was not worried about this, and the reason why he lowered the curtains was because he liked the dark, which made him feel like a qualified planner hiding behind his back.

"Very nice scene." The man boasted, unconsciously shaking the Bordeaux wine glass in his hand, like an elegant aristocrat, elegantly awakening the bright red wine in the glass. Contrary to this movement, his left hand was a hook that had not yet detached from the curtain, and through that slit the sunlight reflected on it, revealing a shining sheen and a shape—a golden hook.

"It looks like the country is almost over."

In response, it was a woman whose skin was not white, blended into the dim surroundings, dressed in clothes that exposed her skin, saying that she was debauched and kept in key places, and the corners of her mouth revealed a vague smile, giving people an inexplicable sense of mystery, like the mystery before the prize was revealed.

The man looked at the woman and grinned intimidatingly.

"Are you sympathetic? When did a woman like you have this kind of emotion? ”

The woman smiled, her emotions did not fluctuate at all, like a well-made doll, and there was still a hint of a smile in her mouth.

She paused before asking, "Are you kidding?" I don't remember, you're the kind of person who likes to joke. ”

This question caused the blazing heat in the entire room to drop sharply by a few degrees, and then dispersed again.

The man shook his glass a little faster, then took a few steps forward, and now he was only a few steps away from the woman, a distance that could be reached by his hand, and he slowly pulled up the hook and made an attacking stance. The hook had a cyan glow, and the woman knew it was smeared with poison, but she always smiled at the possibility of a deadly attack.

The man slowly lowered his hand, raised his glass and took a sip of wine, "I don't like jokes. Do you have something to report on more than that? ”

"Hundreds of millions of elderly people were attacked." The woman replied.

The man asked with a strange expression, "So what?" How many people should be replaced, if that's the kind of thing, .all sunday!"

Sunday, the person in charge of delivering the boss's message to the Baroque Work Society, and the person who can talk to her in this tone is obviously the boss of this Baroque Work Club, that is, the Seven Martial Sea Klockdal.

Sunday also has another name, a terrifying name, the son of the devil - Nicole. Robin.

Robin smiled lightly and replied, "Of course, boss." It's just that this time it was none other than the person you were looking for, the one you were looking for. ”

"Fang.. Yes!? Crocodall frowned, and the shaking glass stopped unconsciously, only to see the wine in the glass gradually fall, and slowly the glass was also disintegrated and dissolved.

Robin wasn't surprised, because the man in front of him was holding the rustling fruit, and it wasn't surprising that he could do that.

"What are you going to do?" Robin asked.

"What else can I do, of course, is to find him."

"You're going in person?"

Robin was a little surprised, Klockdahl has always given the image of a scheming politician, and for everything, he arranges it as a task for his subordinates to complete. In any case, his mystery is maintained, at least for the time being, and the fact that he is the mastermind of the Baroque Workshop has been exposed, and not many inhabitants will believe it, and the navy cannot be dispatched to arrest him. He is such a scheming person, and Robin feels like a scorpion lurking in the desert, using that tail thorn to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.

"No, it's you." Klockdalmore shook the ring in his hand and gave orders as a matter of course.

Robin raised her eyebrows, she didn't understand why something was involved in her, if she could, she didn't want to go to that guy named Fang Xing, for this kind of criminal with a high bounty, she had always avoided it. But she knew that she had no right to refuse, because Klockdahl would not give her the right to refuse. Since she couldn't dodge, she turned to ask, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Go negotiate with that little ghost, if he has that thing, he will give it back to me no matter what the price is, and if he doesn't give it, then kill him." Lockdale Road.

Robin smiled wryly, "I don't think I have the strength to kill him, and what if he says he doesn't know?" ”

Robin's consideration is not reasonable, Robin still has value until he finds the news from those historical texts, and that little imp may not necessarily follow his ideas, at least if it is him, he will definitely answer that he does not know.

"Then this matter is arranged by you, if the other party is unwilling to say it, report the news back, and I will make another arrangement. Of course, if he says he doesn't know, then deal with it as if he doesn't know. ”

Robin nodded, complied with Klockdahl's order, and said, "I see." ”

Robin behaved like a well-behaved little milk kitten, but Klockdahl didn't think so, he knew that the little milk cat would stick out its hidden claws and stab at him at some point. Trust? Submissive? Friendship? He only knows that profit is the basis for maintaining everything, just as he wants to use her to interpret historical texts, what does she want to use him for? Just want to know the history and want to interpret the historical text? If it were that simple, Klockdahl would rather make it more complicated, so that at least the reason would be better when he dealt with her.

"One more thing, the princess of Alabastan is next to that kid, which means that there is a high possibility that our plans will be exposed."

Fang Xing consciously relinquished the power to make decisions and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"While that kid refuses, start the utopian plan in advance."

"The rebel army shouldn't be ready yet, and the leader of the rebel army is a childhood sweetheart with Princess Weiwei, if they meet, I'm afraid the plan is more likely to be destroyed before it is implemented." Robin analyzed.

At this moment, the originally dim room flashed with a vague light, and the curtains were stirring in the wind, or more precisely, they were rolled up by the sand. I saw the sand and dust surrounding Klockdahl's side, and everything around him, the floor and even the delicate decorations slowly dissolved. In the center, Klockdahl seems to show his power, showing a corner of his power.

"Then we need to add a hand, after the childhood sweethearts gathered, the great Princess Vivi killed the leader of the rebel army for the peace of the country, this is a rare good show, I'm afraid that under such a change, the rebel army may not be ready. In the face of such a 'cruel' princess, they have only one way out. ”

Combined with the sand and dust around him, Klockdahl is like a powerful but hot-tempered nobleman, gracefully wielding stratagem to hold human life firmly in the palm of his hand, making people shudder.

"You're such a good badass." Robin admired from the bottom of her heart that she didn't want to cooperate with such a person if it weren't for the historical text, which was dangerous and brutal.

Klockdahl grinned, looked at Robin and said coldly, "No! I'm a pirate. ”

……

"Is this really a city?"

Chopper stepped on the parched earth and made a bazbazz sound, which is the sound of the mud cracking of the parched land, because of the lack of rain for a long time, the land has long since lost its moisture and turned into dry lumps.

Vivi nodded, her heart heavy. She looked around, the city devastated by the loss of people, the weathered houses that no one cared for, and the plants that could see traces but had withered.

"This is the green city of Elmar..."

"Green City? But I didn't see any green. Chopper said.

Fang Xing said with a "stupid" attitude: "It's obvious that they're all dead." ”

"It hasn't rained in more than two years." Weiwei's tone was a little sad, as if she was recalling the lively streets in the past, and she was not like this when she came here.

Fang Xing looked at her with this look of remembrance, and then her words said to Chopper: "Ordinary people can only last for a week or two at most without water, and even if there is a reserve of water before, it can only last for a few months at most. After such a long drought, no matter how abundant the reserves are, they will definitely be exhausted, and if there is no water source in the desert, they can only leave here to find water. Chopper, imagine that you don't drink water for three days. ”

Chopper thought about it according to Fang Xing's words, the expression on his face was first stunned, and then he opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue, looking pained and desperately thirsty for water, and it took a long time to change back to the original state.

“... It was really painful. ”

"I think you can be a qualified actor." Fang Xing said sincerely.

"Huh?" Chopper looked confused, not understanding what Fang Xing meant.

"It's nothing, it's just emotion." Fang Xing said casually.

The originally boring journey was enriched a lot by the appearance of Chopper. Fang Xing finally understood why Luffy liked to find those interesting crew members to be his companions, because that would make the otherwise boring journey not so boring. Fang Xing focused his attention on Valpo again, only to see that he had already walked to the side and gnawed on the desertified building at some point. From a certain point of view, Valpo is a qualified miscellaneous person.

Fang Xing withdrew his gaze and saw Chopper's eyes looking at Valpo's side, this was not the eyes staring at Valpo, although Chopper's attitude towards Valpo was not so bad compared to before, but it couldn't let go of the indirect killing of his adoptive father Silk. It looked over there, just curious about the child-like labyrinth.

"What? Want to go inside and play? "Fang Xingdao.

Chopper was like a cat that was suddenly touched, suddenly exploded, jumped away, and had both the embarrassment of being poked and a little expectation in his mouth, "How.. How can it be! How could I be like a kid and want to go there to play. ”

The mouth says no, but the body is honest, and Chopper perfectly interprets the phrase "mouth and body integrity".

A gust of wind blew through the already broken Elmar, making a buzzing, ghostly sound that made people feel creepy.

Chopper listened to the voice, and the hairs on his body contracted.

Fang Xing asked with a smile, "Do you still go in to play?" ”

Chopper hurriedly shook his head from side to side, rejecting Fang Xing's "kindness".

"Stop teasing him." Vivi couldn't help but explain, explaining to Chopper, "It's the natural sound of the building when the wind blows through the sand. ”

Chopper was a lot relieved to hear Weiwei say this, as long as it wasn't a supernatural event, things weren't so terrifying.

"It sounded like a cry, like this city was crying."

"It doesn't matter if it cries or not, it tastes average." Valpodau.

The original solemn and sad atmosphere was ruined by a sentence from Valpo.

Fang Xing looked at him, shook his head and said, "You really can't speak." I don't know if Valpo will meet his Miss Universe because of the historical dislocation caused by his appearance, Fang Xing thought with a bit of bad taste, and after ending his cranky thoughts, he looked at Wei Wei, and then asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

Vivi pondered for a moment, roughly constructing a plan in her mind, before replying, "Next, let Karui bring back the news that I have returned to this country safely, and that Klockdahl is the main messenger behind it." ”

"Is it really good to let your father know the news too soon? I don't think Alabastan has any force to compete with Klokdal. ”

Vivi was silent for a while, and said: "However, it is better to know than not to know, at this moment, the people still treat Klockdahl as a hero, I don't think anyone would think that such a person is the main messenger behind the scenes." ”

"You're right, but what about us? Is it to find the rebels? "Fang Xingdao.

Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" ”

"With your brain circuit, I'm afraid you can know if you think about it a little, I also know that you and the rebel Kosha are childhood sweethearts, and I want to rely on him to get him to stop the rebellion, after all, you already have evidence and reasons now."

Wei Wei was stunned again, not only shocked by Fang Xing's prophetic foresight, but even a little afraid. She unconsciously came up with the idea that Fang Xing was a member of the Baroque Workshop, and only this thought could explain why he had so much information. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time and ability to investigate her deeds along the way.

"You're wondering if I'm a member of the Baroque Workshop, right? Don't be so boring and cranky. If I were a Baroque person, I would definitely take the safest way, which is to kill you, and not to be idle and bored to accompany you around in circles, after all, the country is going on like this, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses. ”

Wei Wei was silent, both emotional for what Fang Xing said and glad for its correctness, she changed the topic and said, "I'll let Karui prepare, and I'll leave immediately." ”
