From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

The headquarters also seemed to be intent on letting Dragon go. Plus, the affairs of the Songming Army had little to do with the Navy, and had always been handled by the CP agency...

As a result, I suddenly received information from Dorag today.

And I wonder if dangerous people like Dorag and M. Caesar are going to join forces?

Huoshaoshan was silent for a moment, then said, "According to the information previously provided by another intelligence agent of ours in Alabasta, M. Caesar. Kulang did indeed cooperate with Crocodile in Alabasta. If your witness is true, then there are at least two possible theories. First, Crocodile, Dragon, and Caesar have joined forces and are preparing to cooperate. Second, Caesar's cooperation with Crocodile is not a happy one, and he is looking for a new partner..."

There are at least two possibilities. I say at least because there must be other speculations, but these two are the most likely ones. Therefore, Huoshaoshan did not say anything extra.

Drake was stunned at first. Are there other agents like me in Alabasta?

But after a moment of hesitation, Drake understood. That was right. After all, the news that Caesar was hiding in Alabasta was reported to him by the headquarters, so Drake rushed here.

Then it seems reasonable that there are other agents in Alabasta.

As for why the agent did not follow up on this matter, Drake didn't know, but this was normal. Perhaps the agent's identity was not convenient for him to investigate Caesar, or perhaps that person had other tasks, so the headquarters sent him, Drake, to take over?

Just as Drake was thinking about these things, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan said, "Our Intelligence Analysis Department will collect this information and combine it with other intelligence to make deductions. 'Little Dinosaur', continue your mission."

Drake said solemnly, "Yes, number 1667, codename 'Little Dinosaur'."

Then, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan said in a slightly gentler tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Drake."

Huoshaoshan is such a powerful yet gentle navy officer, and he has a good reputation in the headquarters.

Drake was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's all for justice!"

Then, they both hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Drake continues his investigation in Alabasta.

General Huoshaoshan will quickly compile the intelligence and then send it to various analysts in the Intelligence Department.

Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan took a sip from the teacup, then took out another regular Den Den Mushi and fiddled with it twice. A voice came from the Den Den Mushi, saying, "Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, please give me your instructions."

"Major General Kong Ming? Come to my office. I have a task for you. Analyze the intelligence summary." Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan said.

"Yes!" Major General Kong Ming responded quickly.

Major General Kong Ming was born in the Flower Country of the West Sea. He joined the navy when he was young. However, due to his physical fitness and other related reasons, his strength seemed a bit awkward. He was neither strong nor weak, but his IQ was very high.

Therefore, when Diarmuid worked in the Intelligence Department, he transferred him to work there.

At that time, Kong Ming was still a small lieutenant colonel in the Navy Headquarters.

In fact, if Diarmuid hadn't appeared, Kong Ming might not have become a member of the Intelligence Department. He would have been promoted to Vice Admiral and became the commander of the Kirishima Naval Base, but was eventually overthrown by the Straw Hat Pirates...

At this stage, Chief of Staff Ahe is very optimistic about Kong Ming, because to work in the Intelligence Department, you don't need to be very powerful. You just need to be smart, good at planning, and be able to find out the secrets hidden in the intelligence. That's enough.

This was the case with Diarmait back then. At that time, the Chief of Staff was thinking of training Diarmait to take over her position in the future.

As a result, Diarmait is now her nominal superior, the admiral of the navy.

It’s so embarrassing…

Chapter 333: Chronicles of the Desert Kingdom, Cobra and Dorag!

Soon, Major General Kong Ming arrived at Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan's office.

Without any polite greetings or anything, Huoshaoshan smiled and then said, "Kongming, come and take down the intelligence from Alabasta and summarize it to see if there is any breakthrough."

Major General Kong Ming said very seriously: "Yes, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan."

"There's no need to be so rigid." Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan smiled.

Major General Kong Ming then smiled and said, "When you work, you must be serious."

What he had in his hands was not only the information given by Drake, but also the information that the navy had obtained in Alabasta before, a lot of which was given by Nicole and Robin.

Including some information about Baroque Works, Crocodile, the Alabasta rebels, the Song Army, the Nefertari royal family, etc.

Soon, Kong Ming took this information and went to gather his subordinates to analyze it.

Two days later, in Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

Although the situation in Alabasta is already very turbulent.

But these brewing storms have not yet reached Albana, the thousand-year-old capital.

The royal capital is still in the illusion of peace. This prosperous city alone has a population of more than two million. It can be seen how profound the foundation of Albana and Alabasta is.

In addition to the general permanent population, the floating population is also very large, and Albana also has a standing army of more than 600,000 to guard this thousand-year-old capital.

That night, Albana was dry and hot, but it became a little cooler at night.

Nefertari Cobra was still in his palace, handling recent official duties.

12 Judging from his diligence alone, Cobra is undoubtedly a qualified king.

He works until late at night almost every day, and his life can be described as simple. As the king of the oldest country in human history, he does not like any extravagant and licentious behavior.

Although the palace was built in an extremely magnificent manner, it can be said to be one of the most magnificent in the world.

But this was not created by him, but was gradually nurtured by the entire Alabasta civilization over thousands of years.

If his only luxury was anything, it was probably that he built a huge bathhouse in the palace.

Those were the foolish things he did when he was young and a prince.

After becoming the king of Alabasta, Cobra never did such a wasteful thing again.

A burst of light footsteps was heard, and Cobra looked over there. Then, with a smile on his face, he said, "Bell, is Weiwei asleep?"

Bell, Bell of the Falcon, is the lieutenant of the Alabasta Kingdom's guard and one of Cobra's most trusted subordinates.

Although he is called an adjutant, in reality, Bell is almost a member of this withered royal family and is regarded as a family member by Cobra and Princess Vivi.

It wasn't just him, the other lieutenant, Jacka the Jackal, was in a similar situation, as were the captain of the guard, Ikalem, and others.

Because Cobra has a very easy-going personality, Vivi has grown up under the care of these people. In addition, the originally prosperous bloodline of the thousand-year-old royal family of Nefertari, in this generation, only Princess Vivi remains. Therefore, in this huge palace, from the royal family to the maids, everyone gets along like family.

This phenomenon is rare in the world.

It is for this reason that Bell and others have always been loyal to the Nefertari clan and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for them.

Vivi likes to stick to Bell, who often transforms into a falcon and takes her to fly in the sky. So most of the time, when Cobra is busy, it is Bell who takes care of the little princess Vivi, telling her some bedtime stories and coaxing her to sleep.

After hearing Cobra's question, Bell smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Her Royal Highness the Princess is already asleep." "I haven't had time to accompany her recently. She must have said a lot of bad things about me, right?" Cobra said with a smile.

Bell smiled with a slightly awkward expression. It was obvious that Vivi had said a lot of bad things about Cobra.

"Alas, the situation in the country is getting worse and worse. ... I'm not fit to be king," Cobra said with some emotion and helplessness. Hearing this, Bell said seriously, "Your Majesty, you are the most benevolent monarch I have ever met. Alabasta cannot do without you."

But after a brief pause, Bell suggested: "Regarding the domestic situation, I always think that Crocodile should be summoned to come to the audience. We set up an ambush and take him down, which may be able to quickly change the status quo." "Do you still suspect that he is the mastermind behind this?" Cobra said after a moment of silence.

"There is no doubt that he must be the mastermind behind this." Bell said firmly.

Cobra fell silent and turned to look at the window beside him. Outside was the bright moonlight of Alabasta, shining on the boundless desert.

"Your Majesty!" Bell couldn't help but urge again.

Cobra then sighed and said, "We have no evidence, Bell."

"Your Majesty, we don't need evidence. In this kind of thing, once we really start looking for evidence, everything will be too late..." Bell said anxiously.

Cobra's expression was a little hesitant and hesitant.

Finally, he whispered, "Wait a little longer, look for it again..."

In fact, few people know that it’s not that Cobra doesn’t want to move against Crocodile. He can also feel that the shadow behind this kingdom is Crocodile, the damned Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The reason why he was hesitant and lacked decisiveness was actually because he was worried that he did not have the ability to deal with Crocodile.

That's why he was so persistent in finding evidence. If he had sufficient evidence, he could ask for support from the navy and Mary Geoise.

Even though he knew that those bastards on Mary Geoise might be hoping that he would be in trouble, at least Cobra felt that the navy could still be trusted.

However, this requires evidence. If there is no evidence, according to the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act, the Navy has no right to take any action against the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

5/057 (Note

(Join the group) At the same time, if he attacks Crocodile without any evidence, Cobra is very skeptical. With the power in his hands, can he pose a sufficient threat to Crocodile?

You know, this is a desert country.

A single move could affect the entire body. If he fails to attack Crocodile, he will definitely completely enrage Crocodile and give Crocodile a reason to rebel against him. The Nefertari clan may come to an end, and these loyal subordinates around him will also die.

This is the reason why Cobra has never really made up his mind. He dare not act rashly. And because of his "merciful" character, he wants to pursue an ending where no one is hurt, which is too idealistic.

"Your Majesty's hesitation is due to a lack of confidence? A lack of confidence that you can deal with a terrifying pirate like Crocodile?"

A strange, calm voice suddenly reached the ears of Cobra and Bell.

Cobra was shocked, and Bell suddenly drew the sword from his waist, walked three or five steps to Cobra's side, and guarded him behind him.

I looked in the direction of the voice, but there was no sign of anyone, as if the one who had spoken was a ghost.

"Who!? Who is playing tricks? Come out!" Bell shouted angrily.

"I thought that as the oldest country of mankind, Alabasta, which has one of the strongest armies in the world, should have extremely brave warriors under its king. But at the moment, it seems that apart from your abilities, you don't seem to have any outstanding qualities. Has the domineering power been lost in Alabasta?" The strange voice once again reached the ears of Cobra and Bell.

But they still couldn't find any figure.

"Domineering?" Bell murmured with a serious look in his eyes.

Indeed, the domineering power of Alabasta has been lost, that was decades ago.

At that time, Bell had not yet become a member of the Guard.

But the so-called domineering power is actually not very precious. If the royal family of Alabasta wants to find it, they can find a mature way to practice domineering in the New World in minutes.

But decades have passed, and this matter seems to have been ignored. No one cares at all. It's outrageous.

This has led to the fact that individual strength in Alabasta is generally low, and Cobra's personal bodyguard Bell is no better than that.

There must be deeper reasons behind this, but the fact is that almost no one in Alabasta has mastered Haki.

Or maybe this is the trend in the first half of the entire Grand Line. In this environment, no one has ever been exposed to and used domineering power, so they naturally forget it?

"Who are you? What brings you here so late at night?" Cobra asked in a deep voice after calming himself down.

As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze blew in from the window and flipped over a few pages of paper on the table.
