What a shocking scene it is to see a king of a country kneeling down and begging for death in front of ordinary people.
Luo Heng obviously underestimated the reaction of the people of Alabasta to this incident.
"King Cobra, you are of such noble status, how can you kneel down to us?" an old man said in a trembling voice.
"King Cobra, please get up quickly. We all know that you have already used all your money to help the victims."
"We know you have your own difficulties, so there is no need to kneel down and apologize to us."
"You are a good king, and we believe you were just confused for a moment."
"Rise up, King Cobra, and lead us to prosperity again."
Seeing that Crocodile had won the coup, everyone was out of danger.
Cobra originally wanted to die, thinking that it would be better to die at the hands of his own people than at the hands of pirates.
He really couldn't stand the humiliation of being a puppet, but he didn't expect that the people didn't blame him at all.
"King Cobra, if you continue to seek death, I guarantee that your beautiful daughter will meet a miserable end."
Luo Heng also saw through Cobra's thoughts at this time and couldn't help but threaten him.
He needs Cobra to continue to stay in the position of king and withstand the pressure from the World Government for him.
His current strength is still too weak.
He is not Doflamingo and does not have Celestial Dragon blood.
A pirate with no background becomes a king himself, which is a blatant slap in the face of the Five Elders.
I'm afraid he will die in a few days without knowing why.
"Father, you can't die. As long as you're alive, there's hope. One day we'll get back what belongs to us."
Weiwei, who was standing behind him, also didn't want her father to die like this, so she comforted him with words.
"I never expected that my people would be so tolerant of me." Cobra burst into tears.
"Get up, King Cobra, and tell the people your true decision." Luo Heng didn't want to delay any longer and couldn't help but speak.
Cobra then stood up, wiped his nose and tears, and said loudly in a low voice:
“Given the serious harm my foolish actions over the years have caused to the country and my people.
I have decided to entrust the administrative, judicial, and military powers of Alabasta to Mr. Crocodile, and to appoint him as Grand Archon to manage this country."
After Cobra finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face looked several years older.
"What? Crocodile taking over the country?"
"Although he has helped us a lot, does he really understand how to govern a country?"
"Yeah, after all, he's still a pirate."
"Crocodile is a national hero. I believe in him anyway."
"Can this country get any worse? Let him try."
This sudden change caught everyone off guard and everyone started talking about it.
Luo Heng had anticipated their reaction and didn't take it seriously.
"Citizens of Alabasta, be quiet and listen to me."
"The first thing I will do after becoming Grand Archon is to solve this country's water problem. As long as I exist, no one in this country will ever lack drinking water again."
"Is this true?"
"Mr. Crocodile really didn't disappoint me."
"That's great! I don't have to worry about water anymore."
"Long live Crocodile!"
"Long live Crocodile!"
After everyone cheered for a moment, Luo Heng spoke again: "Next is the second thing. Baroque Company will invest in the construction of a large oasis city based on the new water source."
"Citizens willing to join the construction of this city will receive generous remuneration and priority for residency in the new city. They will also receive a free house large enough for a family."
"Finally, from now on, agricultural taxes will be completely abolished in Alabasta."
"Long live Crocodile!"
"Long live Crocodile!"
The people cheered again, and many of them cried for joy.
"Next, all the royal troops will assemble. Some will work with the doctors to treat the wounded, and some will be responsible for confiscating the weapons of everyone present."
"Other residents can temporarily camp outside the city and wait for food and drinking water to be distributed. They will return to their original places early tomorrow morning."
"I will be touring the country in the near future to determine the location of the new city and develop water sources. Residents from all over the country can rest assured and wait for notification at home. Those who are willing to participate in the construction of the oasis can go there when they receive notification."
The King's Army had strong execution capabilities. After receiving the order, they began to assemble their troops and act separately.
The people also cooperated surprisingly well, throwing their weapons together consciously, and soon they piled up into several small hills.
Everyone happily left the city in a group, and no one caused trouble again.
Luo Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep breath. He had finally succeeded in taking control of the country, and Lao Sha's ass was almost wiped out.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Vivi felt that Crocodile was wrapped in a fog and she couldn't see through him at all.
"Crocodile, I will keep an eye on you. If you do anything to harm the people, I will go to Mary Geoise to seek justice for them." Vivi looked up and glared at Luo Heng.
"Oh?" Luo Heng looked at Weiwei with a smile, and gently stroked Weiwei's head with his big palm. "Then you better open your eyes and look carefully."
Vivi didn't expect that this vicious pirate would suddenly do such a thing. She forgot to dodge for a moment and stared with her eyes wide open, a little at a loss.
