From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Then, Cobra suddenly discovered that a figure was standing next to him.

He was startled and took two steps back, but the sharp blade in Bell's hand had already slashed down, cutting the figure in half.

But there was no blood, nor any sound of pain.

"Look, with such moves and methods, how could 667 possibly defeat someone like Crocodile in the desert country of Alabasta?" A calm but slightly hoarse voice appeared behind Bell.

When Bell turned around, the figure grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

At the same time, Bell also saw the figure's appearance clearly, and said with anger in his eyes: "It's you!"

"Monk D. Dragon!" Cobra was also shocked.

That’s right, the person who subdued Bell at this time was this guy Dorag.

After his identity was recognized, Dorag let Bell go again, then smiled and said, "First time... no, I should say, it's been a long time since we last met, Nefertari. Your Majesty Cobra." Cobra's eyes were a little complicated, but he still nodded at Dorag and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, Dorag." The last time he saw Dorag face to face like this was a long time ago, when he participated in the World Conference in Mary Geoise.

At that time, Dorag was still a navy officer, and he visited Mary Geoise as a prince.

"Your Majesty, this guy is very likely an accomplice of Crocodile. He might have bad intentions today. I will stop him..." Bell said quickly.

Even if it is a bit presumptuous, this loyalty is unquestionable.

But before he could finish his words, Drago smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with Crocodile. In fact, I came to Alabasta this time because he offended our Song of Life Army. I heard that the situation in Alabasta is very strange because of our Song of Life Army's involvement. I can tell you responsibly that before this, the Song of Life Army had no cooperation with Crocodile. All of this is Crocodile's conspiracy."

Cobra's expression lit up and he asked in surprise, "Really?"

In fact, another reason why he didn't dare to touch Crocodile was that he was worried that Crocodile would become a team with the Songming Army.

Once Crocodile is attacked, the Song Army might launch a retaliatory action in Alabasta.

Now, after hearing from Dragon, the leader of the Song of Life Army, that Crocodile had no connection with the Song of Life Army, Cobra breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 334 Those who dwell on the past cannot control the future!

"Don't you want to invite me to sit down?" Dorag suddenly smiled.

Cobra was silent for a moment, then said, "Excuse me, Mr. Dorag, please take a seat..."

Seeing this, Bell took a few steps away from Cobra. Soon, Dorag and Cobra sat face to face on the sofa, while Bell stood behind Cobra with a very alert look.

"It's been a long time since I sat down with a true king of a country and had a peaceful face-to-face conversation like this." Dorag said with a little emotion.

Cobra looked at Dorag and said with some emotion: "After all, you are now the most vicious criminal. As far as I know, the number of kings who died at your hands is already in the double digits."

"To be precise, there are seventeen." Dorag said with a smile.

"Yes, the kings of the seventeen member states were overthrown and killed by you. So, facing someone with such atrocities and experiences as you, how could there be any king willing to sit down and talk with you so calmly?" Cobra said.

"Isn't there such a king right in front of me?" Dorag said meaningfully.

After a brief pause, he added, "Not all kings are as likable as Your Majesty Cobra. In fact, the vast majority of royal families are disgusting."

"It's amazing to be praised by you," Cobra said.

After a brief pause, Cobra continued, "So at least now it seems you're not here to overthrow my throne?"

"The so-called overthrow of the throne is just a means. My goal has never been here." Dorag shook his head and said.

"So, what is your purpose? I have always been curious about what you, the Songming Army, are going to do?" Cobra asked with great interest.

For a moment, this strange meeting did not involve Alabasta or Crocodile. The leader of the Song Army and the King of Alabasta seemed to be peacefully discussing some metaphysical things.

"A new era, or perhaps a new world?" Dorag said, stroking his chin. Then, without waiting for Cobra to speak, he continued, "Marijoa's rule lasted eight hundred years. Even without me telling you about the current decadence and darkness, I believe you, Your Majesty Cobra, are aware of it, right? And as a descendant of the twenty kings, you must also know that the world the twenty kings who created the World Symbol expected wasn't what it is today, right? The void throne hanging high above Marijoa represented equal rights, but what about now? Although no one sits on that throne, it has already lost its meaning!"

Cobra was silent for a moment. As a descendant of twenty kings and a member of the Nefertari clan, Cobra knew some of the secrets of Mary Geoise, and one of them was particularly important.

That is, even Dorag believed that the Void Throne, which was unoccupied, actually had an owner.

However, Cobra didn't need to tell Dragon about this. He glanced at Dragon and asked, "So your philosophy is to break the rotten and corrupt world and create a new order, just like the twenty kings did back then?"

"Pretty much. Actually, when I was young, I had many novel ideas. For example, judging from the current situation, the path of the Twenty Kings has come to an end and is obviously incorrect. So I thought back then that if the path of the Twenty Kings was wrong, then could the force, country, or person that had been the enemy of the Twenty Kings, hidden in the blank for a hundred years, be the right one? Therefore, for a while, I considered whether I should unearth that history, let me see the truth, and see where the path blocked by the Twenty Kings led..." Dorag said with a slightly sighed tone.

"If you have thought about this before, then what this sentence means is that you did not do it in the end, right?" Cobra asked again.

"That's right." Dorag nodded, then smiled and said, "Because I met a friend. In fact, I really want to call him a close friend. In my opinion, his thoughts are far superior to mine. His talents and wisdom, his strength and skills are all better than mine. Well, although I didn't think so back then, I agree with it now. If he could have cooperated with me and become a member of our Songming Army, perhaps the world would have undergone earth-shaking changes long ago." Dorag said with a smile, and there was indeed some regret in his tone.

"Then I guess this person should be the current Navy Admiral. Rodriguez Diarmuid, right?" Cobra asked.

"That's right." Dorag nodded, then smiled and said, "It's a shame that we can't be close friends. We clearly admire each other, but we still scheme against each other."

In fact, Dorag did not think that Smoker was on Mary Geoise's side as he had said to Diarmait.

In fact, he had already discovered long ago that Smoker was a member of the navy, and he had even suspected the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan for a long time.

However, through these calculations, he finally felt that no matter what the navy wanted to do, at least at this stage, there would be no conflict with his Ge Ming Army. On the contrary, it could even help the Ge Ming Army to a certain extent.

Moreover, once the navy leaves the system of World Zhengfu, it would seem that it would be easier for the Songming Army to deal with and fight against Mary Geoise?

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Dorag finally decided to pretend that he had not seen through it. On the contrary, he could take advantage of this trend to gain some benefits for the Geming Army.

"That's a pity." Cobra responded.

"Fortunately, at least he's not an enemy. To be honest, even I would feel uneasy about being an enemy of someone like him." Dorag teased with a smile.

Cobra just nodded and didn't respond.

Then, Dorag continued, "Because of meeting Diarmait, that guy has brought me many new ideas. Maybe there is a sentence he said, but he has forgotten it. But he certainly doesn't know the great impact it had on me."

"What?" Cobra asked with great interest.

"If you want to create a new order and world, then those who are obsessed with the past are bound to fail. Those who can truly change the world will never be bound by the past. What they pursue is the present and the future." Dorag said in a very serious tone.

Cobra frowned slightly, and after pondering it for a while, he nodded and said, "There is some truth to it."

"Yes, it was these words that completely shook my previous thoughts." Dorag said.

His eyes grew vague, and he continued, "Those who dwell on the past can never create a new future. I suddenly realized that my previous desire to pursue that blank century of history, to seek the so-called 'correctness', was so meaningless. Born in this era, why should I force the results of eight hundred years ago? Therefore, I chose the present and the future... Just like him, he is now doing something that no one has been able to do in the past eight hundred years..."

Soon, Dorag gathered his thoughts and looked at Cobra with sincerity. "I've said all this because I want to tell His Majesty Cobra one thing: today, I'm here for the sake of my future."

Cobra looked at Dorag in silence, then said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I don't intend to put my future on the shoulders of your Songming Army..."

"This answer is not beyond my expectations." Dorag nodded first.

In fact, most kings would not entrust their future to the Songming Army, and it is even more impossible for Cobra to bow down just because Dorag came over and said some specious words.

"But I still came." Dorag continued. After a brief pause, he looked at Cobra and asked, "Then Your Majesty Cobra, why did I still come even though I knew you would give this answer?"

"Why?" Cobra asked with a slightly heavy look in his eyes.

"Because you have no choice." Dorag said with a slightly evil smile on his face.

"How dare you!" Bell shouted angrily.

Cobra raised his hand to stop the angry Bell and continued, "Mr. Dorag, why do you think I have no choice?"

"The Nefertari clan is a traitor to the twenty kings. The people on Marijoa hate you to the core. Although I don't know why they tolerate your Nefertari clan to continue in Alabasta until this era, I think they must be happy to see you in trouble, right?" Dragon asked with a smile.

Cobra didn't speak.

Drago didn't care, instead continuing, "Although Crocodile failed in the New World, that failure made him more meticulous and rigorous. Therefore, with his methods and abilities, it's difficult for you to compete with him. At the same time, it's also difficult to find any leverage against him. Without the ability to compete, and lacking any leverage to check and balance him, you can't get any outside help, and your relationship with Marijoa is extremely poor..."

With every word Dorag spoke, Cobra's expression grew uglier.

Because what Dragon said was exactly the problem that Alabasta was facing.

Isolated and helpless, unable to protect himself.

"The fall of Dressrosa, Tenyasha, Donquixote, and Doflamingo became the new king of Dressrosa. I believe that when His Majesty Cobra saw this newspaper, he must have felt very heavy. In my opinion, this may be the hammer that breaks the last backbone of Alabasta." Dragon said in a very relaxed tone.

In contrast, Cobra's expression was very heavy.

That's right, Doflamingo became the king of Dressrosa in a grand manner. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with Alabasta, but it brought extremely heavy pressure to Cobra, because it set a precedent for pirates to usurp the country, and Marijoa had no intention of intervening at all (Wang Wang Zhao) Hold on!

In other words, Doflamingo is Crocodile's role model.

The fate of King Riku is the same as that of Henaferutali. Cobra!

"That's enough..." Cobra interrupted Dorag with a heavy tone.

But Dragon didn't care, still muttering to himself, "King of the Desert. Crocodile and King of Alabasta. Your Majesty Cobra, your duel will soon reach its end. No matter how I look at it, I don't see any chance of you winning. If this continues, one day, Nefertari will become Alabasta's past and history, and Crocodile will become the new future... So, kind-hearted Your Majesty Cobra, do you wish to hand over this most ancient of human nations to pirates? Or do you wish to work with me, the 'world's most vicious criminal,' to find a new future, a new order, and rebuild Alabasta?"

When these words fell, Dorag's figure had turned into a breeze and disappeared from Cobra's sight.

"I'll come again in a week. I hope that Your Majesty Cobra can spend this week thinking carefully about the future of the Nefertari family and the future of Alabasta..."

When the room became quiet and silent, Cobra's breathing seemed so heavy.

Bell looked at his king with some reluctance and said softly, "Your Majesty..."

"Bell... let me be quiet for a while..." Cobra waved his hand and interrupted Bell.

Chapter 335: A call for help from Nico Robin.

An ancient island. A small garden.

Two huge figures are fighting around the erupting volcano, holding old battle axes and machetes, venting their power wantonly.

These two figures were none other than the former captains of the Giant Pirates who had disappeared from the world for almost a hundred years.

Green ghost. Dongli, red ghost. Brockie.

More than a hundred years ago, their bounties were each 100 million berries.

Although it doesn't seem that great in today's era, that's because of inflation. Nowadays, Bailey is worthless, especially the bounty of pirates, which changes every year. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry, who makes some news and acts a little brutally can get a bounty of hundreds of millions of Baileys.

But more than a hundred years ago, one hundred million berries could definitely be called a true pirate.

For nearly a hundred years, Dongli and Brocki had been fighting each other, competing for who had the biggest prey and who was stronger. … This sounds like a boring thing.

But there is no doubt that after fighting for more than a hundred years, the strength of Broki and Dongli is obviously stronger than a hundred years ago.

Outside the battlefield where the two giants were fighting, there was a small river.

Diarmait was sitting leisurely on a stool, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing idly.

On a hillside not far away, a triceratops fell to the ground with some black iron pillars stuck in its body. This was Tina's ability.

Tina was standing on the head of the Triceratops, looking at the two huge figures fighting fiercely in the direction of the volcano in the distance.

"They are much more powerful than the giant troops in our headquarters. Maybe Sauro can fight against them, but it seems that Sauro is not as powerful as them." Tina commented while watching the battle.

Vergo used a small dagger to drain the blood from the Triceratops' abdomen. After the blood was drained, the unfortunate Triceratops became their dinner.
