Chapter 303: The stage is ready, the actors are in place
The people of Alabastan cherish water more than anyone anywhere else.
Every time it rains, it's a carnival for Alabastan.
But this time, whether it was the rebel army or the kingdom army, feeling the rain falling from the sky, they were only at a loss in their hearts.
They were finally able to distract themselves from looking at the girl standing on the high platform of the palace and listening to each other's voices.
"It's over?"
No one put down their weapons.
"No kidding! This is Albana, and who knows if it's rain made by burning dancing powder again! β
Some rebels shouted with hatred on their faces:
"Who wants this false rain!"
"Those who have fallen because of the drought, who have fallen in this war, can they laugh at the end of the sentence!"
"This country is hopeless!"
Listening to the shouts of hatred below, and the kingdom army and the rebel army that began to rattle again, Vivi shouted anxiously:
"Not false rain!"
"It's raining now, and it's going to fall again as before!"
"Because, because I have found the torch of this country, he will bring light to everyone!"
The rebels shouted, "How do you make us believe you?" Do you think we will forget what the king did? β
"Kingβ" Vivi covered her heart as she covered her heart and said, "My father, Neferutali Kobra, loves this country as much as all of you! β
"I am sure you will not forget the long days, the peaceful and beautiful times β and everything that has changed because there was no rain in this country since three years ago."
"Your doubts, your despair, your pain, the king can sympathize! How could someone like him use dancing powder to hurt this country and hurt you? β
"All this is a conspiracy!"
Wei Wei clenched her fists and shouted, "The Seven Martial Seas of the King who came to Alabastan three years ago, the conspiracy of Klokdal!" β
There was an uproar in the square.
"How is that possible-"
"It must be a lie!"
"Mr. Klockdahl is the patron saint of Alabastan, how many times has he helped Alabastan repel pirate attacks in the past three years? How many people's lives have been sheltered in the rain where he is located? β
"It's ridiculous, you still want to deceive us with lies? Princess Vivi, you just want to inherit the rights of this country, what is the difference between what you are doing now and your father? β
Klockdahl, the prestige in this country is too strong, especially in these three special periods, in the hearts of many people, his status even overshadows the king.
Sitting on the top of the eaves, Klockdahl showed a smile, it seemed that his business had been quite effective in the past few years, but when he thought of the plot that was going to happen next, the corners of his mouth drooped again.
"If you can make the country better, what does it matter who has the so-called power?" Vivi shouted, "I can guarantee that everything I said is not a lie!" β
"The deliberately destroyed waterways, the sandstorms that are always facing Juba, and the rumors that suddenly spread about dancing fans, and at the height of the rumors, they suddenly found dancing fans in the harbor by coincidence. Don't you have a trace of doubt in your hearts about all this? β
Wei Wei spoke quickly, and her emotions became stronger and stronger, until at last, she shouted loudly:
"It is not nature that has caused all this tragedy, but Klockdahl, who has taken the rain from Alabastan, who has used his powers to turn the oasis into a desert, who has tried to subvert the country for his own despicable purposes!"
"He's everyone's enemy!"
The crowd in the square began to hesitate.
But how can empty words dispel that deep-seated hatred?
"What about the evidence?"
Someone shouted, "Is there any evidence for all this you are saying?" β
Vivi was stunned for a moment.
How could there be any evidence, even in the Baroque work society, there are only a handful of people who know that the head of the work society is Klockdahl.
This man is too cautious.
"Please trust me!" Vivi could only shout: "Anyway, I want everyone to evacuate the square first, Klockdahl has planted a bomb in the square, and there will be an explosion here soon!" β
"Bombs?" There was a brief panic in the crowd.
"This must be her reason to trick us into retreating!" One of the rebels shouted: "We will take the palace soon!" How can you leave at this time! β
"The palace or somethingβit doesn't matter at all in front of everyone's lives!" Vivi gritted her teeth and shouted, "All the kingdom troops, please evacuate first, if the rebel army doesn't believe me, then enter the palace." β
"Anyway, don't stay in the square anymore!"
The kingdom army hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in Weiwei, they all began to slowly evacuate, and the rebels were stunned for a moment, except for some die-hard people, others also began to evacuate outside the square with suspicion.
The tide is beginning to turn for the better.
"It's a lot of work."
Klockdahl stood up.
"It's clear that such a good stage has been built, but it took so long to barely convince these fools."
"If it weren't for acting, these idiots would have been wiped out a long time ago."
"It's time to play."
He raised his hand, and yellow sand rolled up around the square.
"Sandstorm?"
"Why is there a sudden sandstorm in this direction, this is in the town!"
"I've got that too!"
"Be careful, Albana is on top of a rocky hill, tens of meters above the desert below, if you are swept away by a sandstorm, you will definitely fall to your death."
The people who wanted to exit the square were suddenly forced back by the sudden sandstorm.
Then, they heard another voice coming from the loudspeaker.
"I really didn't expect you to get this far."
"Unfortunately, it's too late."
On the high platform of the palace, Klocodahl's figure emerged from the yellow sand, and with a flick of his hand, Luffy's body was thrown in front of the Straw Hats.
"Luffy!"
The crowd was shocked.
"You actually did this kind of thing to Luffy-"
Zoro slowly tied his turban: "Absolutely unforgivable!" β
"One Knife Stream, Lion Song!"
The long knife splits the rain curtain in two.
Klockdahl's eyes narrowed, he raised his left hand, and slashed down with a wave of his hand.
Bite.
The blade was split in two, and Sauron dodged in a hurry, but there was still a deep scar on his chest.
"Vulnerable."
He took a puff on his cigar and commented, "The Straw Hat Boy was able to delay me for so long, and it was a surprise to me." β
"But, at the end of the day, you're just doing some pointless struggle."
Vivi's body trembled, and she shouted, "Klockdahl, your plot has been exposed, and your plan in this country has failed!" β
"What are you talking about?" Klockdahl showed a mocking expression: "Princess Vivi, why are you still so naΓ―ve so far?" β
"That's right, I single-handedly brought about the civil war in this country, whether it was a drought, a sandstorm, or the death of a king."
"The purpose is to seize the country."
