"Dead?"

Vivi reflexively took a step back.

"How could my father be in Albana. Under the protection of the Kingdom Army."

Townsend lowered his eyes and sighed.

"It's my fault that I couldn't stop this."

"After I took over the Baroque Workshop through SUNDAY, I also learned about the details of the Ideal Country Project implemented by the Baroque Workshop."

"Klockdahl intends to rely on the imitator of the fruit, that is, MR.2 von Clay, to disguise himself as a king, to ignite the fuse of civil unrest, so that the rebels will completely break out and attack Albana."

"When I heard the news, I rushed here non-stop, although von Clay has been defeated by us, but I know that Klockdahl will never give up the plan, he will think of other ways to provoke a war in this country, and the key to provoking a war is the rebel army."

"I didn't expect Klockdahl's methods to be more vicious than I imagined, and his actions to be more decisive than I imagined."

"He no longer relied on the Baroque workshop, but took matters into his own hands, went to the royal palace and captured the king, and controlled the king's mind with drugs, so that the king led the kingdom army here, and said a lot of excessive things in front of the rebels."

"By the time I arrived, the situation was irreparable, the conflict had occurred, the kingdom army and the rebel army were fighting in the city, Klockdal took the opportunity to set fire to the rebels' food and grass, and secretly manipulated it, so that the king died in the indiscriminate guns."

Speaking of this, a pained look appeared on Townsen's face.

"The fuse of the war was completely ignited, and the rebels were completely desperate for the royal family because of the king's words, coupled with the loss of food and grass, and the accidental killing of the king, they had no way out."

"So, they decided to break the boat and set off directly for Albana, intending to overthrow the royal family in one fell swoop."

"I only had time to rescue the king's body, but I couldn't stop the rebels."

Weiwei's body shook, slumped to the ground, and burst into tears.

"He, my father, where is he?"

Tang Sen stepped forward to help her up, and said in a low voice, "Come with me." ”

"The climate in Alabastan is too hot, and I'm worried so I prepared an ice room."

The Straw Hats followed silently, such a sudden news made the most out-of-the-box Luffy speechless, although they had never met the king of Alabastan, and the rise and fall of a country had nothing to do with them as pirates, but the partner they identified, Vivi's sadness, could also make them empathize.

Entering the basement, Vivi saw the corpse lying on top of a flat block of ice.

Her vision blurred all at once.

It's her father, and although she hasn't seen her for three years, Vivi can't admit it.

Townsend patted her on the back, and Vivi stumbled forward, looking at the cold and stiff corpse, she wanted to reach out and touch the other person's face, but stopped.

"Klockdahl" she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and let the tears fall: "Unforgivable. It must not be forgiven! ”

"Klockdahl has more to do than that." Tang Sen said in a low voice: "I have seen Klockdahl's plan, he has prepared a bomb with a huge range, and intends to launch it directly into the center of the battlefield when the rebel army and the kingdom army are fighting, and when the time comes, all those who can fight in Alabastan will be directly eliminated." ”

"Then, he can directly seize power in this country with the worship of the remaining people, and when the time comes, he will recruit pirates and make this country his ideal country."

"The bomb was originally placed in the clock tower next to the palace square, but the people from the Baroque Workshop came with the news that the bomb was gone, and it was probably hidden somewhere else by Klockdahl."

Nami gasped.

"Kill everyone? Is this the ultimate goal of Klockdahl? ”

"Why. Why would anyone be so cruel! ”

Vivi wiped away a handful of tears and turned around.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her sadness, and a determined look resurfaced on her face: "I will definitely make Klockdal's ambitions public, this country will never be destroyed at the hands of such people!" ”

"Mori-kun. Thank you for letting me see my father for the last time. Next, the responsibility of this country is shouldered by me! ”

"And us!" Luffy lowered the brim of his hat and said in a rare seriousness: "This time, you must definitely stop the sand crocodile!" ”

"We are running out of time, the rebels are already on their way to Albana, and we must arrive before the bomb is detonated at Klockdahl." Wei Wei said quickly: "Sen-kun, there should be a means of transportation in the Baroque Work Society, right?" ”

"It's been ready for a long time." Tang Sen hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you need to bring your father back to the royal capital?" ”

Vivi was silent for a moment.

"The future of this country is more important than the funeral." She looked at Kobra and said, "This is also the land of Alabastan, so let my father sleep in this land." ”

"This is his wish before his death, he said that he does not want to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, he just wants to be buried with his own people."

"Please, Mori-kun."

Tang Sen nodded heavily: "I will inform the members of the Baroque Working Society lurking in the rebel army to find a way to slow down the rebel army, but the current situation wants everyone to believe that everything is a conspiracy of Klockdahl. I'm afraid only you have this convincing. ”

"I know." Vivi walked out of the basement quickly: "Leave it to me." ”

The Straw Hats followed, leaving only Townsend and Nicole Robin in the basement.

"She's a nice princess." Nicole Robin sighed: "Don't you think it's too much for Mr. Tang to deceive her like this?" ”

Tang Sen snapped his fingers, and the corpse on the ice bed suddenly changed slightly, and the corpse, which originally looked stiff, reappeared with vitality at this time.

"It doesn't matter if the means are despicable or not, what matters is what the result is." Tang Sen said calmly: "Lock up Kobra, you do this matter yourself, don't let others know, including the sand crocodile." ”

"The reason you told Klockdahl not to kill him was that you thought he was still useful. Not really, right? Nicole Robin said.

Townsend glanced at her and walked out of the room.

"You're talking a little too much, Nicole Robin."

Looking at the disappearing back, Nicole Robin pursed her lips slightly.

"Not a bad person."
