Chapter 338: Achilles heel
Lets go back in ti a little bit, in the royal palace of Alubarna.
King Cobra was listening to the report of the Guard. After entering the kingdom, Ian didnt intend to hide his identity, so the news of his presence was naturally reported to his majesty.
It is reasonable to say that when a Shichibukai appears in countries within the alliance of the World Governnt, and if he has a little etiquette, he should co to the palace to pay them a visit, but the purpose of Ians trip was not related to the Nefertari family, so he did not co to the palace and et Cobra.
However, Cobra was not annoyed by this. He doesnt care about such etiquette. What he is thinking about now is what Ian, the new Shichibukai mber, wants from his trip to Alabasta.
Cobra isnt a young immature king. He has been working hard, taking care of his country, for a long ti. His face alone shows how much he had experienced Alabasta was having a hard ti this period. Despite the long-term drought, even the rebels have established an organization that got to a threatening point and they started moving, which worries Cobra a lot!
Such a turbulent country often attracts greedy people. During this ti, the number of wicked pirates in Alabasta has gradually increased. If Crocodile had not helped suppress it, the guards alone would found themselves powerless against such disorder
Although Crocodile takes away the goods robbed by the pirates as booty every ti he exterminates a group, no one has minded this. Crocodiles reputation in Alabasta was very high, even Cobra, in the absence of the truth, was very grateful for Crocodiles help.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Ians presence in Alubarna reached his majesty, Cobra first thought of Crocodile. He couldnt figure out Ians intentions, so he was worried that Ian was looking for Crocodile.
Chaka! Cobra turned his head and asked Chaka, one of two head guards in the Alabasta kingdom, which was standing beside him. Do you know anything about this young man called Ian?
The black-haired Chaka is a Zoan-class Devil Fruit user that allows him to transform into a jackal. He and Pell the Falcon has the sa rank, and they both have Zoan-class Devil Fruits that Alabasta regarded them as Guardian Gods, so the whole royal family relies on them very much, and the two are also quite loyal to Cobra.
I have gathered so information regarding this matter! Chaka nodded, and said: I think this new Shichibukai is a very dangerous person.
How is that? Cobra asked as he touched his beard.
Chaka said: When he first appeared on the surface, he started by setting the Holy Land on fire, went on a war against the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragon, and then fought against an Admiral twice, plus I just got so news recently that the King Wapol of the drum island was killed by a pirate
Wapol!? Cobra looked at Chaka with surprise: Hehe was killed!?
Yes! Chaka seriously nodded: Although I didnt like that king because of what he has done to our beloved Princess Vivi, the news is true. It is said that a very powerful pirate killed Wapol, and the Drum Island is on the sa route with Alabasta
Cobra thoughtfully said: You an, the person who killed Wapol is probably the new Shichibukai?
Its just a guess! Chaka said: After all, he suddenly appeared in Alabasta, its not very likely that he ca here flying
As explained by Chaka, Cobra also felt that Ian was the most suspected for this cri
Killing the king of a country Cobras face was a little gloomy: So what does he want to do in Alabasta?
Thats unpredictable! Chaka shook his head: So during this ti, Pell and I will always be by your side!
This is why Chaka said that Ian is a dangerous person. Because he was suspicious of killing Wapol, no one can predict Ians will by coming to Alabasta.
However, he didnt know why, Cobras opinion on Ian was sowhat different from that of Chaka. If they focus on Ians past carefully, they will find that his targets were all evil people. Celestial Dragon needless to say, although they are World Nobles, even Cobra is very uncomfortable with their behavior. Wapol was the sa, although he is a King of a country, Cobra doesnt see any qualifications of being a king in him.
Regarding what Chaka said, to protect him personally, Cobra felt indifferent, he thinks that Chakas concerns may not be necessary, but of course, he could not refuse his kindness.
He suddenly started talking and asked his royal guard: Have you heard anything from Vivi recently?
Since the beginning of the drought in Alabasta, this abnormal climate has caused so doubts in the royal family, but at this ti, Princess Vivi has found a mysterious organization, Baroque Works, operating in her country, so her intuition told her that this organization may be carrying out so shady activities in Alabasta, and she volunteered to join them as an undercover.
Cobra couldnt stop her, so he had to send Igaram, the captain of the Alabasta royal guard, to join with her the Baroque Works, and protect her.
Up to now, Princess Vivi has been working undercover in this organization for a year
Hearing Cobras question, Chaka shook his head: Princess Vivi sent back a ssage saying that the Baroque Works is likely to be related to this drought, but there may be a very powerful person behind it. But she still cant determine who it is
Cobra nodded, and was about to say sothing, but at this ti, a mber of the guard suddenly ran into the hall and said with a horrified tone: Your Majesty, the two Shichibukai, Sir Crocodile and Ian, are fighting in the city of Alubarna!
What!? Cobra was shocked and imdiately stood up.
There is also a huge sandstorm in the city! The guard continued his report.
Cobra and Chaka ran out of the great hall, standing on the balcony of the palace, looking toward the city. Sure enough, a tornado suddenly appeared there, carrying a large amount of sand
But strangely, the sandstorm didnt move, but rotated rapidly in the sa place.
Not only Cobra, but almost everyone in Alubarna saw the storm.
Hurry up! Go imdiately and evacuate the people nearby! Cobra was anxious and imdiately ordered the guards.
Alabastas guards were dispatched urgently, moving towards the sandstorm, while Cobra and Chaka stood and watched the storm in the sky.
At this ti, Cobra suddenly thought of the frequent sandstorms in the past two years, then he placed two fingers on his forehead and said: Could it be that this sandstorm is related to Crocodile!?
Everyone knows that Crocodiles power cos from the Sand-Sand Fruit, but Crocodile has never shown what hes capable of in front of anyone, and no one saw him launching a sandstorm. This ti, if it wasnt for Ian, Cobra wouldnt witness the sudden occurrence of the sandstorm in the capital.
Afterward, a clear scream ca from the sky. Cobra looked up and saw another head guard, the Falcon Pell flying down When he landed near the king, he went back to his human form, then he said to the king: Your Majesty, would you like
to check the situation of the battle?
No, dont go! Cobra imdiately stopped Bells plan, saying: This is a battle between two Shichibukai, we cant intervene!
Chaka and Pell dont know why Cobra made this decision, but their obedience made them nod.
Cobra turned back and looked at the storm in the distance. At this ti, Ians Black Dragon waves have already rushed into the sky, and they were rotating around each other. The sand got evaporated, and soon the sandstorm disappeared. This made Cobra feel a bit relaxed.
Sure enough, its him Now that the Black Dragon Wave has beco Ians signature, Cobra has confird his appearance when he saw the raging dragons, but Cobras doubts got even worse.
Combined with the powerful behind-the-scenes figures ntioned in the news from Vivi, and the sandstorm that suddenly appeared in the center of the city, Cobra beca more suspicious of Crocodile.
Ian didnt know that his fight with Crocodile turned out to be an opportunity for the royal family to investigate the president of the Baroque Works. After all, as a low-level agent, Vivi could never find out the identity of her Boss!! So this ti, they can say that their investigation has determined a general direction
Because of such doubts, Cobra made a decision not to interfere, he just ordered the guards to evacuate the residents of the city.
Ian didnt think of these things at the mont. He was concerned about another matter he didnt expect Robin to ignore herself and try to rescue Ian from the bottom of the quicksand pit!
Hey! What are you doing!? Ian was getting rolled over by the hands of Robins ability, pulling him out of the pit. This rolling feeling made him a bit dizzy, but he still shouted: Stop it! You are going to be drowned by the quicksand!
However, Robin did not pay attention to Ians shouting, her body was sinking a bit by bit, but she kept pushing Ian up.
At this ti, Crocodile suddenly erged from the sand in the pit, grabbed Robins neck, and coldly said: How dare you helping him!? Do you want
to kill you first?
Although Robin was in a lot of pain, he still smiled and said: You wont kill
because Im still useful to you!
Green veins appeared on Crocodiles forehead, but he didnt say a word, Robin was really smart, and she imdiately poked his Achilles heel
