Pirate: Eternal

Being a king not only enjoys the admiration of thousands of people, but also needs to bear the burden for millions of people and lead them to a future surrounded by tigers and wolves.

Kobra and King Riku are just cowards who indulge in praise and self-satisfaction.

As a few people talked, the war had reached a fever pitch, and both sides were completely red-blooded and no longer timid.

Life was passing by in seconds, and the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Weiwei, who was on the palace wall, had fainted from grief and cried. Kobra finally appeared, kneeling on the wall and kowtowing.

The sky became gloomy and covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed across the sky, thunder covered the sound of guns and roars, and light rain gradually fell.

It seemed that the sky couldn't stand it anymore and gave Alabasta a rain that had been in drought for a long time, hoping to stop the war.

The dense sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and the blood-stained eyes were washed away by the rain. People stopped and looked up at the sky, wondering why it had developed to this point.

The war has stopped.

Bodies on the ground, blood washed away by the rain, a racing heart and overwhelming weakness and exhaustion.

People fell to their knees one after another, hugging each other and crying, grieving for the death of their companions and regretting the stupid war.

After both sides calmed down, King Kobra met with the rebel leader Kosha and began negotiations on the future of Alabasta.

"What? There's not much food left?!"

Kosha didn't care whether there was someone leading this war. It was meaningless to hold the blame at this point. He just went straight to the point and asked Kobra for food. However, the answer he got made his heart freeze.

"The crops grown in Albana are only enough to supply this city. I live frugally every day and do not dare to be extravagant and wasteful."

Kobra didn't know why Kosha didn't even care about whether the war was right or wrong, and just asked him for food, so he had to tell the truth.

"impossible!"

Kosha grabbed Kobra's collar and growled.

"Whether you use dancing powder in Albana or not, it's impossible for Albana with enough rain to produce only this little food!"

Kobra looked embarrassed and explained: "There is only so much land to grow crops in Albana, and no matter how abundant the rain is, it will not be productive."

"you!"

Kosha was so angry that he could not speak.

In the past, most of the food in Alabasta was produced in Yuba, which is known as the desert oasis. Later, the dancing powder took away the rainwater and was hit by sandstorms one after another. Yuba turned into a dead place.

Kosha thought that Albana, who had taken away the rain from Juba, would open up land to plant crops, but he did not expect...

"You want food, right?"

Kosha's performance reminded Kobra of something, and his face became very ugly.

Kosha roared hysterically: "Yes! We don't have enough food! Except for Albana and Rainland, other cities in Alabasta have been dry for a long time! We have no food to eat!"

"how so......"

Kobra collapsed weakly on the ground, his eyes covered with despair and became dead.

He can already foresee that Alabasta will soon turn into a hell on earth, and the beast named Hungry will overturn this desert kingdom.

the other side

"Sir, now is a good time to go and help in times of need!"

Seeing Kobra and Kosha talking, Musk said impatiently.

"Are you still the same profiteer?"

Vlad looked at him strangely, feeling that this guy suddenly seemed to be a different person.

"Going on now will not maximize the benefits at all. We come to the door and they come to the door are two completely different concepts. I don't believe you don't understand this."

"Uh......"

Musk was speechless and lowered his head to explain.

"After all, this is where I grew up. No matter how much I pursue profits, I still want to contribute to my hometown."

"Okay." Vlad nodded, "Then you can go talk to them yourself, as long as you can meet the requirement of letting me control Alabasta for ten years."

Musk bowed and said thanks: "Thank you very much!"

"Mr. Impaler, Sengoku asked me to attend the appointment meeting of King Shichibukai. Do you want to go with me?"

Statham looked at the figure sitting in the shadows and asked.

"Go on your own and be safe."

Vlad, who was asleep, waved his hand in refusal without raising his eyelids.

Although he really wanted to go to the scene to see what the meeting of the King's Shichibukai was like, but he was just a minion on the surface and couldn't even enter the gate of the venue.

There's no point in following along.

"Okay, I'll pay more attention."

Statham nodded, turned and left.

"So, are you disappointed in this country?"

A voice sounded again in the darkness. It was Vlad speaking to Musk who was sitting in the corner.

Musk lowered his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations. I didn't expect that at this point, Kobra and Kosha would actually refuse our request."

"Haha, people, unless they are forced to a real dead end, they will always take chances."

Vlad smiled, not surprised at being rejected. The characters of Kobra and Kosha had already determined the outcome.

His demands were not excessive, he would provide food for all those who worked for him, Kobra would not stand in the way of any decisions he made in Alabasta, and he would ensure the safety of all those who worked for him, And will not do anything that violates the laws of the world government.

However, these two simple provisions were rejected without hesitation.

Perhaps it was a matter of Vlad's request to sign a contract. In order to prevent these guys from turning their backs later, Vlad requested that they sign an employment contract and a debt contract as King Statham's Shichibukai. Once someone violated the treaty, he would take force sanctions. .

It's understandable that they were vigilant because of Crocodile's past experience, but there was also a time when the fire was burning in their butts and they were still hesitating, which really made people question their leadership abilities.

“No one can speak for everyone.”

Vlad stood up, walked slowly to Musk, and said with raised lips.

"You spread the word. As long as someone is willing to sign a contract with us, we can give him food and ensure his safety."

"Everyone's life belongs to themselves. No one should make decisions for everyone for their own selfish desires. We should give everyone the right to choose!"

Just when Musk responded and was about to do it...

boom!

A hole about five meters in diameter suddenly opened in the ceiling. An invisible attack followed the hole and hit the floor of the underground room, creating a pit of the same size but bottomless.
