Your Majesty Shichibukai!
Why does this system exist? !
With the approval of the World Government, there are countless pirates using the name of the Shichibukai to commit evil all over the world. This is the so-called "legal" crime!
With an in-depth understanding of the current situation of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Luffy can basically determine that the target of this mission, the mastermind behind the attempt to resurrect ancient weapons, is Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai!
Therefore, their ultimate enemy is Crocodile, and the first priority at the moment is to solve Crocodile.
But now, why do they have to cross the desert to go to Juba? What will happen if they go to Juba? What will they do if they stop the rebel army? In the end, they are just a group of bewitched civilians.
The real culprit behind the scenes is still at large.
Along the way, although Luffy was laughing and joking and acting very brainless, he had been quietly observing Vivi, the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
He could see all the changes in Weiwei's expression along the way.
There is something I want to say but I can't say it out. There is always a heavy sadness between my eyebrows, as if I have been worried about something.
To sum it up in one word - hesitation!
Luffy didn't know what Weiwei was hesitating about, but he could guess what Weiwei was worried about. She was worried that a battle would break out between the rebel army and the king's army, causing many people to lose their lives.
As for what Weiwei was hesitating about...
As everyone advanced towards Yuba, where the rebel army was located, Luffy gradually understood Weiwei's hesitation. She clearly knew that even if everyone went to Yuba and stopped the rebel army, they would not be able to fundamentally solve the problem. To solve the country's problems, he did not tell the public directly and kept secretly concealing the matter.
for what?
In order to prevent your own citizens from being harmed!
Because of this incident, Weiwei has been hesitant and unable to tell everyone the truth!
The only way to fundamentally solve the country's problems is to defeat Crocodile. Stopping the rebels is undoubtedly a waste of time, and may also give Crocodile time to breathe and completely subvert the country!
But Weiwei, in order to prevent her citizens from dying, concealed the matter and hoped that everyone would help save her citizens first instead of defeating Crocodile first.
A group of people walked into the desert.
When Luffy finally figured it out, his eyes filled with determination, he suddenly stopped, no longer took a step forward, and said calmly: "I'm not leaving!" "Eh? Luffy, what's wrong with you
? , are you thirsty?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but murmured, wondering what happened to the captain.
"Weiwei, after walking for so long and talking so much about the tragedy of your country, do you have anything else you want to say?" Luffy stared at Weiwei's eyes seriously.
"Luffy-san..."
Weiwei was startled, her eyes evasive, not daring to look at Luffy.
"Weiwei, let me ask you, who caused the destruction of the Green City? Who caused the division between the people and the king? And who turned Alabasta into the dry and barren state it is now, almost on the verge of destruction?" Faced with it
? Luffy asked coldly,
Weiwei's delicate body trembled, she lowered her head involuntarily, and gradually became silent.
"Is all this caused by the rebels? No! In this critical situation of drought, hunger and thirst, what's wrong with people taking up arms in order to survive?!" Luffy said seriously: "
This Everything was caused by Crocodile! And now, you have avoided this problem and instead chose to take us to stop the rebellion of the rebels. So what if we stop the rebels? The real enemy, Crocodile, is still fine. Stay alive! Our actions now are just a waste of time..."
Everyone couldn't help but be startled after hearing Luffy's analysis.
"That's right. Can't we just go and deal with Crocodile directly? Why come to Yuba!" Zoro nodded seriously and agreed with Luffy's words.
Ace, Nami, Sanji, Chopper and Usopp all nodded in agreement. Only the Guards Captain of the Kingdom of Alabasta was traveling with him. Ikarem remained silent, as if he had something to hide.
"No! We must stop the rebels first! If it's too late, it'll be too late!" At
this time, Weiwei, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised her head and stared at Luffy anxiously.
"Why?" Luffy asked.
"Because if a war breaks out between the rebel army and the king's army, many people will die!" Weiwei said sadly.
Luffy stared at her calmly: "Everyone is mortal!"
"Shut up!"
Who knew that the usually gentle Weiwei suddenly turned into an angry tigress, staring coldly at the road, as if a sore spot had been touched? Fei: "Don't say such things. Human life is precious. I am the princess of this country. I cannot give up the life of any of my subjects." Luffy said word by word: "A
person who is unwilling to give up anything." , Nothing can be done!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Weiwei's body hard, causing her soft and delicate body to shake!
"When I made up my mind to become the Pirate King, I already put life and death aside. Even if I sacrifice my life for it, it doesn't matter."
Then, when Luffy said these firm words seriously, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, There are times when my own captain can be so serious.
Bet on your life...
How can someone who is unwilling to bet on his life deserve to win!
"Haha, I didn't expect that my stinky brother could say such sensible things, but Luffy..."
But at this moment, Ace showed a wicked smile, stared at Luffy seriously, and reminded him: "You seem to Not pirates, but navy..."
Luffy was stunned.
Everyone was also stunned.
The next moment, a burst of laughter rang out: "Hahahaha!"
"Ahem, don't laugh! Understand the spirit..."
Luffy coughed awkwardly and glared at everyone.
What bad luck!
He accidentally let something slip, instantly shattering the majestic image he had just established.
Luffy felt depressed for a while.
"No! I don't agree! Risking your life or something..."
Weiwei shook her head desperately, staring at Luffy, tears welling up in her eyes, and said angrily: "What's wrong with the citizens? Why should they pay their lives for this?" The price, no...I can't allow a person to die, absolutely not!"
"Idiot! You are still stubborn!"
Luffy's eyes turned cold, he raised his right hand, slapped Weiwei hard on the face, and slapped Weiwei on the face. The kind-hearted princess was slapped away...
"You bastard Luffy, what are you doing?! You actually attack a girl, but you are still not a man!" Sanji was furious and quickly walked forward and grabbed her It caught Luffy's collar.
"Shut up!"
Luffy's eyes were as cold as freezing point, and he shouted back the angry Sanji with his eyes.
He calmly walked to Weiwei's side and said seriously: "When you sneaked into Baroque Works, didn't you risk your life to fight..."
