Time goes back to earlier, in the royal palace of Albana.

The king of Alabastan, Kobra, was listening to a report from the guards, and Ian had no longer hidden his identity since he entered Albana, so the news of his appearance in Albana was naturally reported here.

It stands to reason that a member of the Seven Martial Seas who appears in the member countries of the World Government and knows a little etiquette should come to the palace to pay a visit, but the purpose of Ian's trip is not for the Neferutali family at all, so he did not come to the palace to meet Kobra at all.

However, Kobra was not annoyed, he didn't care about this etiquette anymore, he was thinking now about what Ian, the new member of the Seven Martial Seas, wanted to do in Alabastan.

Kobra is not young, he has been working for a long time in state affairs, and his face is full of old age, and Alabastan is really eventful now, not to mention the long-term drought, and now even the rebels have been formed, which makes Kobra can be said to be worried.

This kind of turbulent country often attracts pirates to covet, and during this period of time, the number of pirates making trouble in Alabastan has gradually increased, and if it were not for Klockdahl's help to suppress it, the strength of the guards of Alabastan alone would really be powerless.

Although every time Klockdahl exterminated the pirates, he would take away the property looted by the pirates as trophies, but no one questioned this, Klockdahl's reputation in Alabastan was very high, and even Kobra, without knowing the truth, was very grateful to Klockdahl for his action.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Ian's appearance in Albana came, Kobra immediately thought of Klockdahl, and he didn't understand Ian's true intention, so he was worried that Ian was here to trouble Klockdahl.

"Gaca!" Kobra turned his head and asked Gaka, the adjutant of the Alabastan Guard, who was standing beside him, "Do you know anything about this young man named Ian?" ”

The black-haired Gaka is a Devil Fruit ability in the form of a canine fruit jackal, and he, like another lieutenant of the guard, Hayabusa no Bell, has the same animal fruit that Alabastan has as a patron saint, so the entire royal family is very dependent on the two, and similarly, the two are also quite loyal to Kobra.

"Have some understanding!" Gaka nodded and said, "I think this new Qiwu Sea is a very dangerous person. ”

"How so?" Kobra asked, touching his beard.

Gaka said: "From the very beginning, he set fire to the Holy Land of Mary Joya, led the rebellion against the world nobles Draconians, and then fought with the admiral twice, especially since I just recently got the news that Valpo, the king of Magnetic Drum Island, was killed by a pirate......"

"Valpo!?" Kobra looked at Gaca in surprise: "He...... He's been killed!? ”

"Yes!" Gaka nodded very seriously and said: "Although I didn't like this king very much because of the grievances suffered by Princess Weiwei back then, this news is true, it is said that a very powerful pirate killed Valpo, and the Kingdom of Magnetic Drum Island is on the same route as our Alabastan......"

Kobra said thoughtfully, "You mean, the person who killed Valpo is most likely this new Seven Martial Seas?" ”

"It's just speculation!" Gaka said: "After all, he suddenly appeared in the country of Alabastan, it can't be flying......

Being explained by Gaca, Kobra also felt that Ian's suspicion was the greatest.

"Killed the king of a country...... Kobra's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy: "So, what did he want to do when he came to Alabastan?" ”

"Unpredictable!" Gaka shook his head and said, "So during this time, Bell and I will follow Your Majesty at any time!" ”

That's why Gaka said Ian was a dangerous man, and because he was suspected of killing Valpo, no one could have predicted that Ian would do this again in Alabastan.

However, I don't know why, Kobra's opinion of Ian is a little different from Gaca, if you carefully study Ian's past, you will find that the targets of his shots are all some evil people, Draco needless to say, although they are world nobles, but even Kobra is very unaccustomed to their behavior, and Valpo is the same, although he is the king of a country, but Kobra can't see any king in him.

As for what Gaka said, to protect him closely, Kobra was noncommittal, he felt that Gaca's worries might not be necessary, and of course, it was impossible for him to refuse Gaca's kindness.

He suddenly asked Gaca, "Weiwei, this kid, has she had any news back recently?" ”

Since the beginning of the drought in Alabastan, this abnormal climate has aroused the doubts of some people in the royal family, and at this time, Vivi, the royal princess of the Nephilitali family, found out about a mysterious organization Baroque Studio in Alabastan, and her intuition told her that this organization was not doing any ulterior activities in Alabastan, so she volunteered to join this organization as an undercover agent.

Cobra couldn't stop her at all, so he could only send Ikalem, the captain of the Alabastan Guard, to join her in the Baroque workshop and protect her by the way.

And now, Princess Vivi has been undercover in this organization for a year......

Hearing Kobra's question, Gaka shook his head and said, "Princess Vivi sent back a piece of information, saying that this Baroque studio is very likely to be related to this drought, but there may be a very powerful person behind this organization, and she can't be sure who it is now......"

Kobra nodded, and was about to say something, but at this moment, a member of the escort suddenly ran into the main hall and said in some horror: "Your Majesty, Lord Klockdal and Ian, who is also the Seven Martial Seas, have fought in Albana City!" ”

"What!?" Kobra was startled and immediately stood up.

"There's also a huge sandstorm in the city!" The member of the Guardian continued to report.

Kobra and Gaka hurriedly ran out of the main hall, stood on the edge of the palace royal city, and looked towards the city of Albana, and sure enough, under the distant sky, a tornado suddenly appeared in the city, and the wind carried a large amount of sand, which was undoubtedly a sandstorm.

But the strange thing is that the sandstorm did not move, but just spun rapidly in place.

Not only the Kobra, but almost all the people of Albana saw the eye of the sandstorm.

"Quick! Evacuate the people nearby! Kobra was in a hurry and immediately gave orders to the guards.

The Alabastani guards rushed out and headed for the center of the sandstorm, while Kobra and Gaka could only look at the sandstorm in the sky.

At this time, Cobra didn't know why, and suddenly thought of the fact that in the past two years, Alabastan has often been attacked by sandstorms, so a thought suddenly popped up in Kobra's heart: "Is this sandstorm related to Klokdal!?" ”

Klockdahl is a Sandsand Fruit Ability, which Kobra knows, but Klockdahl has never shown the power to control a sandstorm in front of anyone before, and if it weren't for Ian's involvement this time, Kobra would not have witnessed a sandstorm suddenly appear in their capital.

There was a sudden sound in the sky, and Kobra looked up to see that another lieutenant of the guard, Hayabusa Bell, fell from the sky, and when he landed in front of Kobra, he had already changed back to his original appearance, and as soon as Bell landed, he said to Kobra: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go and see the situation at the scene?" ”

"No, don't go!" Kobra immediately opened his mouth to stop Bell's plan and said, "This is a battle between two Seven Martial Seas, we can't interfere!" ”

Gaka and Bell were stunned, not knowing why Kobra had made such a decision, but obedience made them nod their heads.

Kobra turned his head and looked at the sandstorm in the distance, at this time, Ian's black dragon wave had already soared into the sky, two black flame dragons were intertwined, and the huge heat melted the gravel, and soon the sandstorm was invisible, which made Kobra who saw this scene couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, it's him......" Now that the black dragon wave has become Ian's signboard, when Kobra saw this black fire dragon, he immediately confirmed Ian's identity, but the doubts in Kobra's heart were even worse.

Combined with the powerful behind-the-scenes figure mentioned in Vivi's message, and the sandstorm that suddenly appeared in the center of the city, Kobra became more and more suspicious of Klockdahl.

Ian didn't know that this fight between him and Klockdahl had become an opportunity for Vivi to investigate that the boss behind the Baroque Studio was Klokdahl, after all, with Vivi's low-level status, how could he find out the identity of his boss in the organization? So this battle, it can be said that they have determined a general direction for their investigation......

Suspicious, Kobra made the decision not to help him, and simply ordered the guards to evacuate the city's inhabitants as best they could.

Ian didn't know what was happening, and he was stunned at this time, because he didn't expect that Robin would ignore himself, but instead tried to rescue Ian from the bottom of the quicksand pit.

"Hey! What are you doing!? Ian was pushed to roll above the edge of the pit by Robin's flowery hand, and this tumbling feeling was really bad, so Ian couldn't help but say loudly: "Stop!" You're going to be drowned in quicksand! ”

However, Robin ignored Ian's cries, her body sinking little by little, but she kept pushing Ian to roll up.

At this time, Klockdahl suddenly turned into wind and sand and appeared in the pit, grabbed Robin's neck, and said coldly to Robin: "You dare to help him!?" Do you want me to kill you first? ”

However, although Robin's face was painful, he smiled and said, "You won't kill me, because I'm still useful to you!" ”

"......" Crocodall's forehead was bruised, but he didn't say it, Robin was really smart, and she pinched Klocodahl's death hole at once.
