(In order to avoid readers who have not read the original book or have not read it for a long time, this chapter contains some introductions to the power system.) ）

"It's a mess."

Townsend put down the newspaper and rubbed his eyebrows.

The usurpation of the country is not a simple matter, the sand crocodile Klockdahl has been plotting on this land for a long time, on the one hand, he is constantly improving his status in the eyes of the people as a disguised protector, and on the other hand, he secretly provokes a civil war, trying to kill the royal family, officials, soldiers and all those who can fight in Alabastan through war, and then re-establish the country and rule the land with his high prestige.

I have to say that although Klockdahl's plan is vicious, it can be called thorough, and in the original book, if Luffy hadn't disrupted the situation, I'm afraid he would really be able to usurp the country smoothly.

But this plan suited only Klockdahl and not himself.

He didn't have so much time, and he didn't have the strength of the other party strong enough to suppress this land.

There is no need to gain a shattered kingdom at the cost of so many lives.

"Luckily, I still have the characteristics of the Dark Lord's mark."

"If I disguise myself as the king of Alabastan, then I can easily gain the loyalty of the upper echelons of the kingdom, and if I master the upper echelons of the kingdom, I will naturally have a way to cannibalize the people of the entire kingdom."

"The premise is that I have to stop and control Klockdahl first, stop the other party's scheme, and maintain the stability of the situation, otherwise, even if the people of the whole country are given the Dark Lord mark, it will not make any sense."

"Come to think of it, if it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of the World Government and the Navy, he wouldn't need to plan for so long, and he would be able to easily destroy Alabastan and slaughter everyone here with his own strength."

"The number of people doesn't mean much to him."

This world is like this, ordinary people in front of the strong, there is no way except despair, there will never be any ants bite to death, even if the real strong man stands still, ordinary people have no way to take him.

Klockdahl is not a top powerhouse, and his strength almost depends on his Devil Fruit ability, but in the land of Alabastan, his Devil Fruit ability is enough to be inexplicable.

Nature-based Devil Fruit, Rustle Fruit.

Devil fruits are broadly divided into three categories, superhuman, animal, and natural.

Superhuman Devil Fruits can make people have various magical abilities, many of which can even be called regular, for example, the Shock Fruit owned by Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, belongs to the Superhuman Devil Fruit, and he can directly shake an island into pieces with one punch.

And the animal-based demon fruit can make people transform into animals and gain strong physique and strength, and, in addition to ordinary animals, such as cats and cows, there are also rarer phantom beasts and ancient species, such as Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, has the form of fish and fish fruit, phantom beast species, and green dragon of the animal phantasia beast species, so that he can directly incarnate into a dragon and call for wind and rain.

As for the natural Devil Fruit, this is the most incomprehensible category for ordinary people.

A person who eats a natural Devil Fruit can be "elementalized", such as Klockdal, whose body can be turned into sand, whether it is a sword, a fist or a firearm, it will not hurt him in the slightest.

Not only that, but he can also control the power of sand, easily dry up the earth and turn it into a desert, set off a huge sandstorm at will, and even easily suck up the water of the human body, turning the other party into a dry corpse.

Of course, the natural Devil Fruit is not inexplicable, in addition to those who can restrain the ability of Hailou Stone, the strong man who has mastered the domineering power of the armed color can also ignore the characteristics of the natural system and attack the opponent's true body.

Domineering is a unique power system in the One Piece world, which is also divided into three categories, armed color domineering, seeing and hearing color domineering, and overlord color domineering.

The armament color can harden the body, increase defense and attack power, and can even be wrapped around foreign objects when practiced to a high depth, or directly attack outside.

Seeing and hearing colors can strengthen perception, predict the opponent's movements, practice to a high depth, and even predict the future and listen to the voice of all things.

And the overlord color domineering is even rarer, people with the overlord color domineering can directly deter the weak and make them fall into a coma, of course, the top overlord color domineering can even be condensed into substance, wrapped around the attack, causing unparalleled destructive power.

The famous Kaido teacher once said that domineering overrides everything.

For those who have cultivated domineering to the extreme, the ability of the Devil Fruit is dispensable. Of course, in the first half of the Great Voyage, the Kingdom of Alabastan had very few people who mastered domineering.

This is also the reason why the sand crocodile Klockdal is almost invincible here, and the natural Devil Fruit gives him this confidence.

"It's too risky to try to deal with Klockdahl directly."

Tang Sen kept coming up with various plans in his mind, whether it was a sneak attack with Hailou Stone bullets or a trap arranged by Hailou Stone, there was no way to be foolproof, after all, Klockdahl was not a fool, on the contrary, he was obviously a smart person to be able to plan such a sophisticated usurpation plan.

What's more, Tang Sen wasn't sure if the other party had cultivated domineering - although in the performance of the original book, he didn't show that he would be domineering at all after eating the loss of appearing too early, but this was a real world, and Tang Sen had to take into account the possibility that the other party might meet and smell domineering.

"To be on the safe side, you still can't do it yourself."

Townsend had long been accustomed to using his mind to achieve goals when his own strength was insufficient, and in the first world, in order to confront David Jones, he almost used the resources and information at his disposal.

At present, he needs to face more strong people in this world, and his strength is more terrifying, but he is no longer an ordinary person like he was at the beginning, and he has many more means than at that time.

"I need a thug."

Townsen's fingers tapped on the table: "A man who will deal with Klockdahl instead of me." ”

"Mr. Luffy should be happy to do this, and I can give him some help."

"However, I can't let the plot end like the original book, Klockdahl can't be arrested by the navy, and his identity as the Seven Martial Seas also needs to be preserved, so that I can have the opportunity and enough power to contact the navy in the future, and even participate in the top war for greater benefits."

"So, Mr. Crocodall may need some help too."

A plan slowly became clear in Townesen's mind.

"Let's think about the details slowly, although I don't know the specific timeline, but judging from the content of the newspaper, the outbreak of the rebellion is only a few days away, that is to say, Luffy and his group should be about to arrive in Alabastan."
