Chapter 17: Shocking the Nation

The Kingdom of Alabastan, once an oasis, is a small town of Juba.

"Brubru, brubru......" The yellowish, snail-shaped phone bug called listlessly.

An old man with a wrinkled face picked up the receiver on the back of a snail-shaped telephone bug in the mayor's office in the center of town.

The phone bug's insect face immediately changed to the expression of the caller on Aruma's side, and he said happily: "It's raining on Aruma!" ”

The old man was very surprised and couldn't wait to ask, "Really?!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince ...... today" After the person on the other end of the phone worm finished talking about the series of events that happened in Eruma today, the old man digested it for a few seconds, put down the receiver excitedly, and rushed out of the mayor's office to spread the good news to the townspeople.

Kosha's father, Shen Ming's savior, Doto was digging the well as always.

Suddenly, the town, which had always been deserted, suddenly became noisy.

Puzzled, he put down his tools, patted his calloused hands, rubbed his stiff waist and stood up, took two steps, and looked out towards the center of town.

At this moment, a slightly young man hurried up and told Doto the good news from the mayor.

After hearing that Shen Ming was raining in Aruma and revealing the truth that the kingdom had not rained for three years, Doto fell into a long silence.

After a long time, his eyes were moist, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his rough big hands, and said happily to himself: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you will definitely be able to become a generation of Ming Jun!" ”

……

The kingdom's port city, Rape Flower Market.

In a well-decorated two-story building, a group of editors and printing and dyeing workers are listlessly printing today's newspapers.

"Brubru ......" is a light blue phone bug that symbolizes auspicious water.

A steward with his legs crossed on the black desk lazily picked up the phone bug, and after listening to the news from the phone bug, his spirits were lifted.

Putting down the phone bug, he stood up excitedly and shouted: "Cheer up, everyone, our newspaper has big news!" ”

"This issue of our newspaper will definitely break the best sales record in previous years!"

……

Inland of the kingdom, Katerea, the base camp of the rebels.

On the edge of the city, in a battle tent made of army-green linen, an encrypted radio was heard.

An intelligence agent wearing round, black-rimmed glasses changed his face as he deciphered the code.

With a nervous expression, he stooped over to the captain's desk in the middle of the tent and whispered something.

"What? The leader was captured by the prince?! The captain jumped up from his chair at once, his face gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, "Do you want us to assist the prince in issuing a proclamation throughout the army, and asking the soldiers to pass on this information to their families?" ”

The agent nodded with an ugly face.

"Too much deception!" The captain slammed the book in his hand on the table.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" The intelligence officer asked in a trembling voice.

The captain fell back into his chair and sat down weakly, sighed and said, "Military orders cannot be violated. ”

"Understood!" The intelligence officer gave a military salute and hurriedly walked out of the battle tent.

……

The capital of the kingdom, Albana.

In the palace, King Naferutali Kobra sat on the throne, his face full of righteousness, and he read some information about the current state of the kingdom with a slightly bitter face.

A man wearing a white robe with black crosses, an Arabesque turban, a pale face, two black lines extending from the outer corners of his eyes to his chin, two large yellow necklaces, and a long black sheath knife in his hand, walked from outside the palace with a complicated expression.

"Bell, what's wrong?" Kobra asked casually.

Adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, the strongest warrior of the Kingdom of Alabastan, one of the two guardian gods of the Kingdom, and an animal of the Bird Fruit Falcon Form Ability, Bel walked quickly to Kobra, knelt down on one knee and said, "King, there is news of the prince. ”

Kobra looked shocked, put the information in his hand on the armrest on the left side of the throne, and asked with concern, "How is it?" ”

"He's currently in Aruma." After saying that, Bell's face was very strange.

"Is there something wrong?" Looking at Bell's expression, Kobra was a little worried.

Bell shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince is fine, and MR.2 of the Baroque Studio was publicly exposed and defeated by His Royal Highness when he was on a mission to discredit the image of the royal family." ”

"MR.1 rushed to hear the news and was wiped out on the spot by His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness the Prince has exposed a series of evil deeds in the Baroque workshop, and accused the hero of the kingdom, Klockdal of the Seven Martial Seas, of the king, of being behind everything. ”

After a pause, Bell continued: "The most incredible thing is ...... His Royal Highness the Prince didn't know what method he used, but it actually rained heavily in Aruma! ”

Kobra froze.

The prince was frail and sickly since he was a child, and after his disappearance, Kobra was very worried, and even deliberately recalled the captain of the kingdom's guard, Ikalem, who was lurking in the Baroque workshop to obtain information, to find the prince's traces.

All this time, the prince rested in the palace and never fought.

MR.2 and MR.1 are very powerful existences, and even the two great Hayabusa guardians of the kingdom and the Devil Fruit ability are not their opponents, and they can only fight with them. Captain Ikalem, the captain of the guard, was only ranked eighth after infiltrating the Baroque studio, codenamed MR.8.

The prince, who had never fought before, was so sick that he defeated them both?

This surprised Kobra, especially the fact that it rained on Aruma, which made Kobra feel even more unbelievable.

If he had known that the prince had this ability, why would he be so sorrowful every day?

"Haha!" Kobra laughed, "My son has finally done something!" ”

Smiling and laughing, Kobra suddenly coughed, he covered his mouth with a purple sleeve robe, and when he put it down, there was a blood stain!

"King!" Bell worried: "Over the years, the drought in the kingdom and the problems of the rebels have troubled you, so you should pay more attention to your health." ”

"It doesn't matter." Kobra waved his hand and continued to ask Bell for details.

……

A day later, inside the streets of Albana, the capital of the kingdom.

After reading the newspaper in their hands, people immediately went to find people they knew and ran to tell each other, and for a while, the newspapers in the hands of the newspaper stalls and newsboys were almost out of stock!

"That prince actually has the ability to rain? Why didn't he rain in the capital! ”

There are well-informed people who are incredulous: "The rumored top agents of the Baroque studio, MR.1 and MR.2, were actually defeated?" You know, even an ordinary mid-level agent of a Baroque studio has the combat power to fight with one against five! That sick prince can actually defeat the two aces of the Baroque studio? ”

In the rape flower market, tourists and citizens are talking about it.

"You say, Kingdom heroes...... Really a conspirator? ”

"The overlord Baroque studio at the front end of the Great Shipping Route has such a long hand that it has almost controlled the Kingdom of Alabastan? The boss behind the scenes is still the King's Klockdahl of the Seven Martial Seas?! ”

"The prince wants to defeat His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas?" After seeing the newspaper, a traveler passing by on the Heavenly Dragon Heavenly Gold Merchant Ship said disdainfully: "His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas are the seven most powerful sea thieves in this era of sea pirates, except for the Four Emperors, each of them has the strong combat power to single-handedly destroy a country!" Even a little prince who wants to defeat him? ”

"MR.1 was defeated by the prince." There were royal army guards beside him who were not convinced.

The passenger sneered and said: "MR.1 can only be majestic at the front end of the great route, and in the first half of the great route, he can be regarded as a relatively strong person at most." But His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas can also be said to be the strongest in the whole world! Defeated MR.1 and wanted to fight against Klockdahl? You princes of the kingdom are still too young and short-sighted. ”

In more small towns and cities, people don't care about whether the prince can defeat Klockdahl.

They are all wondering, is the hard life finally coming to an end?

Kingdom...... Will it really rain soon?

Countless civilians don't care about these disputes at the top, they have yellow skin, chapped lips, and some even need to distill their own urine to stay alive.

"Heaven bless, His Royal Highness the Prince must succeed......" countless people prayed from the bottom of their hearts.
