The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The name Alabasta is already a thing of the past. As for the name Saudi given to the desert country by the new king, the tribal people living outside the royal capital are still accustomed to using the old name of the country.

The new kingdom under the rule of Baroque Studio can only radiate its ruling power to the capital and the land around the capital. As for the oasis areas scattered in the desert far away from the kingdom, it cannot be effectively ruled.

Before the former king met with disaster, he relied on his benevolence and good reputation to make the tribes living in the oasis obey his orders.

With the outbreak of the dancing powder incident, the entire Alabasta Kingdom was plunged into a war for water. In the end, the fight between the people allowed outsiders to gain an advantage, and a pirate successfully stole the country.

Crocodile and his team reaped half of the fruits of victory. As long as they could maintain their rule, a former pirate would not care how many people died. No matter how many people died, they were just a string of numbers in Crocodile's eyes.

The people living in the royal capital had no way to escape, and the lives of the tribesmen outside the royal capital who had close contact with the demons were even darker. Oases, big and small, became pastures for the demons to keep humans captive.

Demons with great wisdom, such as Naraku, try their best to avoid exhausting the resources. Demons can use their abilities to improve the natural environment that is not suitable for survival, allowing humans to gain benefits while also handing over humans as sacrifices on time.

The moving crab Scissors ran wildly across the desert, bringing the survivors back to the nearest gathering place, which was an oasis that had recently been liberated.

Previously, the demons strictly prohibited humans from entering or leaving this large oasis. While improving the environment and providing food and water, they also threatened the men and women to grow rapidly, creating more people in a short period of time to satisfy the demons' appetite.

The tribesmen living on this land were kept in captivity as livestock, a humiliation they had never encountered before. The men rose up in resistance but were violently suppressed by the demons.

A full half of the resistance fighters were killed, and their bodies were dragged away by the demons. As for what they were going to do with the bodies, asking would only give you nightmares.

Just when the land was plunged into an endless tide of demons, Denise raised the banner of the Black Cult, broke through the demons' ranch, and rescued mankind.

For the lucky ones who managed to survive, the appearance of Denise was like an angel coming. There was no need to preach the teachings of the Black Church, and they all rushed to join the church organization.

The Black Order sent non-combatants and exorcists to the desert country to help Denise quickly stabilize the situation and establish a branch of the Black Order in this land.

"Come back here, you are safe, live here without worry, don't be too sad and dwell on the past, look forward to everything", Denise's gentle words flowed into the minds of the survivors, and each of these people had tears in their eyes.

The moving crabs entered the oasis and quickly ran into a place shaded by the hillside. After stopping, the humans on their backs came down one after another. The members of the Black Cult who were waiting there received these newly arrived sufferers.

"All of you come line up here and register your names and occupations. After registration, the Black Cult will distribute today's water and food. Food will be provided every day. Don't be in a hurry and line up. Everyone can get a share of supplies," a staff member of the Black Cult shouted to the crowd.

When they heard that food and water were available, they were very willing to line up. After saying goodbye to Lady Denise, everyone took the initiative to follow the rules and line up in a long queue.

The survivors had been frightened for so long. After getting food and water, they temporarily lived in the tents designated by the Black Order for a while.

This green area has a relatively limited number of houses, most of which are warehouses used to store supplies, and there are also important offices. The Black Order is building a branch base in the desert country from scratch, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stages.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Denise!" A girl with dark green twintails, wearing the uniform black and white uniform of an Exorcist, took the initiative to talk to the strongest greatsword.

"Li Nali? Marshal Makima is willing to send you here. It seems that the East China Branch is really short of people." Denise recognized the little fan girl in front of her.

Li Nali is an exorcist belonging to the East China Sea branch. She has met Denise several times in her memory. She was a little girl who was not yet twenty years old. After seeing the beauty and power of Denise, her heart was captured by the older sister. Who doesn’t like a strong and beautiful sister?

"The desert country is on the front line, not as comfortable as being in the rear. Li Nali, you must always be careful. When you encounter an invincible monster, don't try to be brave and save yourself first," Denise said with a smile, stroking Li Nali's hair. Li Nali benefited a lot from the elders' teachings to the younger generation.

Claire, who was standing behind Denise, felt very unhappy. Her adoptive mother was so popular that there were always strangers who came up to her and showed their affection.

"Did Marshal Machima tell you? This time we will send Dajian to carry out a new mission." Li Nali was sent here to replace Dajian. The desert country was left with a lack of strength after Dajian left.

Claire didn't know yet that she had been sent to Marinford by Marshal Machima. When the three women entered the same building, which was the venue for a temporary meeting of important figures of the Black Cult,

Denise informed her adopted daughter of the Exorcist Marshal's transfer order. Claire didn't expect the order to come so suddenly, and she didn't want to leave her adoptive mother's side.

The difficulty of the mission that Greatsword is going to carry out this time is something that Claire has never encountered since she became Greatsword. A Greatsword is fighting against the demonized Blackbeard Pirates. Does Claire really have a chance of winning alone?

"Don't worry, Sister Claire. Marshal Makima has fully considered this. There is also a female exorcist from the East China Sea branch who will accompany you to the Navy Headquarters." Li Nali's words were filled with a lot of longing. She was also full of admiration for the female exorcist senior.

When Denise saw Li Nali's expression, she guessed who Makima would send. With that woman's strength, and with Claire's assistance, there was still a 50% chance of capturing Blackbeard Teach.

Li Nali also talked about a small matter. The Navy's Sword secret team appeared near the gathering point. It seemed that in addition to collecting intelligence on the Black Cult, they probably also wanted to meet the smiling Denise.

Explain the relationship between the Sword Secret Team and the Navy. This is an elite team used by the Navy to do dirty work, such as spying, decapitation operations, provoking wars, etc. It is not responsible to the entire Navy but only to the Navy Marshal.

"Since they want to see me and Marshal Machima is cooperating with the navy, we have no reason to refuse. Just give the signal and let them in when we meet again." Denise had already roughly guessed the navy's request.

The Navy Admiral sent out the Sword Secret Team before the war to carry out the most important mission. In a land covered with yellow sand like the Desert Country, there is only one "person" who can attract the attention of the Navy - Naraku.

Zhan Guo is still thinking about the future General Zangtun. Naraku has not shown up since he defeated the Whitebeard Pirates and saved Teach and fought with Denise.
