114 The turbulent royal capital

After dropping down Gabra and a squadron of sailors in the port of rape flowers.

The warship continued westward, then turned around when it reached the entrance to the Santa Dora River, following the river all the way north.

In less than half a day, you will be able to reach the destination of the trip.

"Major General, the latest information from Alabastan has arrived."

"The Straw Hats had been attacked in Juba, and after defeating the attackers, they continued north, arriving in the Rainlands two days ago."

"Later, they were captured by Klockdal in the casino in the Rainlands, and his companions escaped."

"But yesterday, Luffy was rescued by his companions again, and his whereabouts are unknown!"

Good guy, this guy is destined to be caught by Klockdahl once.

But it's normal, at his current age, to touch Klockdahl, undefeated is a ghost.

Even if Klockdahl's strength is rubbish.

"After arriving at the destination, let Kalifa and the other four enter western Alabastan and be responsible for finding and monitoring the traces of the Straw Hats."

"By the way, you go with you, otherwise, if you run into Klockdahl, the four of them won't be domineering and can't deal with it, after all, it's a natural ability!"

"Kaku took the remaining two squadrons and stayed behind to guard the warship."

"After that, I'll go to Albana once to meet Cobra, and I'll arrange the rest when I'm done with Cobra."

After a moment of deep thought, Sean said.

"Yes, Major General!"

------

Next.

The capital of Alabastan.

Albana.

At this moment, a large number of civilians living in the capital were blocked outside the royal palace.

Although the king's army did their best to keep them out, there was still chaos in the palace.

"No way, I haven't left the palace at all today!"

"Of course we know this, king, but the people don't know, and even if we go out and explain, they won't believe it."

Three hours ago.

Countless residents of the capital saw with their own eyes that Kobra appeared in a certain market with a group of king's guards, directly reprimanded all the people to kneel to the king, and declared that the right to drinking water belonged to the king, and the people needed to pay a drinking tax of 10,000 baileys per month to drink water.

What?

Let's kneel, after all, no matter which kingdom, there is a ritual to kneel to the king.

Although Kobra had not asked for this before, they were still acceptable.

Is there a tax on drinkable water?

That's...

Even though many people protested, the guards of "Kobra" were unequivocal and fought directly.

Where can these ordinary civilians do anything to them?

It didn't take long for a large number of people to be injured and several more killed.

But it also completely infuriated everyone.

So, more than 3,000 people gathered in the market at that time...

It broke out directly.

That's more than 3,000 people, and there are only about 20 guards around "Kobra".

This was not right, and the guards immediately protected the "king" and ran away.

Soon, the news spread throughout Albana at an extremely unusual rate.

It's just three hours.

More and more people gathered in front of the palace to ask the king for a tax law.

Especially the group of people in the market before, carrying more than a dozen corpses, were placed at the front.

Upon learning of this, Kobra was stunned.

I haven't left at all today, why did this happen?

"The most important thing now, the king, is to disperse the gathered crowd quickly, otherwise at this rate, I am afraid that in less than a day, more than half of the inhabitants of the capital will gather here."

"That's millions

and there are only 1,000 king's guards and 50,000 king's troops in the whole of Albana, and the situation will be out of control!"

Ikalem is well aware.

Since someone framed Kobra like this, it won't end with just that.

When the number of people gathers to a certain number, there will definitely be something that will fan the flames, and eventually it will evolve into millions of people storming the palace.

Although all of them are civilians, 50,000 kings*** can hold on for a long time, and then wait for the king's army from all over the country to arrive.

But how many people will die in the process?

Tens?

Several hundred thousand?

Or even millions?

And that's not all!

And most importantly...

If this happens, the rebels in Catlea are likely to use this event to quickly expand their strength.

And Kobra will become...

Tyrant in the mouth of all the populace!!

I don't know who did it, but their trick is really vicious!

"No, repression is not okay, they are all people of Alabastan, I will personally go out and explain to them!"

"The King... We can let the King's army try not to hurt people when suppressing it, but we really can't waste time!"

Ikalem persuaded again.

Interpretation?

Does it work?

Seeing is believing!

Thousands of people witnessed it in the market.

Do you say they will believe you, or will they believe their own eyes?

Isn't that obvious?

The king of his own country is really good everywhere, but he is too forgiving.

If it is in a peaceful era of peace and contentment, such a king is indeed a good king.

But in the event of unrest, such a king would...

"Looks like you're in a lot of trouble!"

"Who is it? Quick, protect the King!"

The sudden sound made Ikalim suddenly alert.

It is the royal palace of Alabastan and is protected by more than 50,000 people.

How did the other party get in, and what did they want to do?

The next moment, the elite escort immediately went into action.

Some of them surrounded and protected Kobra.

The other part of the people surrounded the figure that suddenly appeared, and raised their weapons one after another.

At this time, Ikalem also saw the person who was coming.

It was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was dressed in the righteous coat of an admiral, and he carried a comatose fellow in his right hand.

Such a young general, as far as he knows, there is only one person.

And that person was indeed in contact, and would come to visit the king in the next few days.

"You're... Rear Admiral Sean Campbell?"

"Yes, can you get them to lay down their weapons?"

"I'm sorry!"

Instantly, Ikalem waved his hand, and all the guards retreated.

"Major General Sean, we'll talk about the previous matter later, and now there are some things here that need to be dealt with first."

Kobra spoke.

Although Sean came this time to talk to him about Klockdahl.

But after all, in this situation, it is clear that dealing with the riots outside the palace first is the highest priority.

"King Kobra, your current situation is not difficult to solve."

"What does Major General Sean mean, do you want to persuade me to suppress it too?"

"No, no, I mean, King Kobra is lucky, I happened to run into a group of men when I arrived, and I took the lead in capturing them."

Sean shook his head.

Then he threw the guy he was carrying in his right hand to the ground.

"You

It's—"

"This is the guy who impersonated you in the market, and when they left Alba, I happened to run into them, so they caught them."

"What !!?"

Kobra and Ikalem were shocked.

This is the guy who pretended to be the king and caused unrest in the capital?

Good guy, Sean happened to run into it when he came, and then caught it?

If it's true, then the whole thing is settled.

"Major General Sean, I don't know who this person is?"

"Von Clay, a member of the Baroque Working Society, codenamed Mr.2, his Devil Fruit is a superhuman imitation fruit that can transform himself into anyone he comes into contact with, and it is very easy to impersonate you, King of Cobra."

"Baroque Workshops..."

"Yes, do you know who the president of the Baroque Workshop is?"

"I don't know, although we have investigated this Baroque workshop, we still know very little."

Kobra shook his head.

"Their president, codenamed Mr.0, is truly His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas, Klockdahl!"

"Crockdahl, is it really him... But why is he?"

Although Ikalem has said that Klockdahl's behavior is questionable.

But what Kobra had never understood was what reason he had to do it, even if he really wanted to seize a country, like Doflamingo.

The target shouldn't be Alabastan, either.

It's big and populous, but it's poor!!

"King Kobra, Klokdal's target is not your country, but what is written in the text of history."

"Well, in the Baroque workshop, Klockdahl's partner is a woman named Nico Robin, you should be able to understand what I say?"

Historical text...

Nicole Robin...

Cobra's eyes widened.

Once the historical text of Alabastan falls into the hands of Klockdahl, plus the presence of Nico Robin.

What this will bring, Kobra knows all too well.

Originally...

Is this the truth, that's why he's eyeing Alabastan?
