Chapter 59 The Situation in Alabasta [VIP]
If the pirates' chef was here, Yale would probably wait patiently for them to make the Demon King into a delicacy.
Unfortunately, they were not there, and he did not have the patience to keep a lamb to be slaughtered.
Eating the Demon King dry is also good. Although it is a bit light, it is healthy and natural.
After assimilating the last key of the Demon King into his body, Yale looked at the subspace that began to crumble after losing its seal. After thinking for a while, he decided to keep it and not continue to let it collapse.
It would also be a good place to serve as a temporary landfill. All the useless garbage produced by the island group will eventually be buried on an uninhabited island on the edge.
The landfill method requires little investment and has low operating costs, making it the most suitable treatment method for island group development at this stage.
But this approach is not feasible in the long run and is also wasteful.
When the waste treatment plant is built in the future, the garbage will be used for incineration to generate electricity, and will be reused for the second or even third time.
However, plans are just plans after all. It takes time, cost and manpower to truly achieve them.
Yale was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time to watch the natives of the planet do these things.
A black crack suddenly appeared in the air.
Under the vigilant gaze of Hongo and Punch, a man walked out from inside, stretching lazily.
Unlike what they imagined, that he had experienced a fierce battle, Yale looked no different from usual.
Her gorgeous long hair was not messy even when blown by the sea breeze. Her metallic yet extremely soft blue and silver windbreaker was spotless without even a single messy wrinkle.
As they observed Yale, Yale's gaze also lazily fell on them.
The pair of golden eyes that seemed to be glowing all the time quickly retracted, but a lazy voice came towards them.
"Pirates of the Red Hair Pirates, your captain's adopted daughter has gone to Rare Beast Island. You've come to the wrong place."
They didn't expect him to be so kind to remind them. Both Hongxiang and Pangqi were stunned for a moment.
Hongo frowned and tentatively asked, "Why would she go to Rare Beast Island? Music Island should have been brought here just last night, right?"
"Yes, why?" Yale repeated his words.
"That's a really good question. Why don't you ask her?"
As he spoke, he brought up the screen and selected the entire building ruins on the Music Island.
High in the sky, the metal ball terminal responsible for monitoring the entire island scanned the entire terrain and simultaneously selected all the wreckage.
Hongo and Punch immediately felt the movement of the wreckage beneath their feet.
Both of them were very skilled. After quickly moving to the safe ground, they saw an extremely shocking scene.
Under the blue sky, the island that had been destroyed by the devil for ten years seemed to have returned to its former bustling days.
The remains of the building, which had merged with the earth and intertwined with the vegetation, made strange creaking noises under the heavy weight, like a prodigal son who wanted to escape from his family and go out to explore the world, and finally ended up quarreling and struggling with his family.
The family's desperate attempts to retain the prodigal son not only failed to win his heart, but also ended up hurting themselves.
The debris of the building flew into the air, carrying the uprooted vegetation with it, without even the soil and rubble falling back.
Everything from a small screw to half a building that survived the disaster gathered in the air.
Like all kinds of colorful plasticine, they are easily kneaded, compressed, and reconstructed by a pair of hands, forming an extremely huge, bizarre and brand-new aggregate.
Finally, the aggregate fell down, landed lightly on the ground, and stood steadily.
It is shaped like a giant musical note, and its shadow is filled with bones collected from all over the island.
A patch of white, scattered corpses piled up like a small mountain of bones.
If an uninformed person saw this, they would probably misunderstand it as some horrible sacrificial site.
But Hongo and Pang Qi were both eyewitnesses of the Music Island tragedy ten years ago, and they knew very well the origins of these corpses.
Precisely because they knew this clearly, after the shock, the looks they gave Yale became complicated.
"Wait!" Hongxiang called out to Yale who was about to leave.
When Yale looked over, he spoke in a complicated tone, "Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for Music Island."
Speaking objectively, at least on this point, they must thank Yale.
However, this thank you was responded with a disdainful sneer from Yale.
"If you really want to thank me, then stay. Red Hair Pirates, become my vassal. Only then can I truly feel your sincerity."
Of course this is impossible.
Hongxiang and Punch refused without hesitation and were even ready to fight with Yale.
But Yale was in a good mood and was too lazy to scare them anymore.
He still has to go back to watch the drama, and as for the rest, it would be better to wait until the Red Hair Pirates leave.
Thinking about what he would do when they left, Yale couldn't help humming a tune.
Giving people hope and then despair is something that always works.

The domestic situation in Alabasta has been getting worse recently.
On one side are the rebels, on the other side are the drought, and on the other side are the navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Ever since the navy decided to immediately capture the disobedient Shichibukai, the atmosphere in the port of Alabasta has become strange.
The people spontaneously kept a close eye on the naval ships. Once a navy came down from above, they would notify the surroundings and throw various objects to drive the navy back to the deck.
No one asked them to do this, but everyone said that if the navy took Lord Crocodile away, life would be even more difficult for ordinary people like them.
The navy had no way to deal with this.
This is a government member state, they have no reason to attack civilians.
However, they stayed here only to conceal their tracks. Vice Admiral Kake, who really wanted to capture Crocodile, had already secretly disembarked from the ship one night.
Ordinary navy officers are useless when fighting against the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and would die in vain if they went.
Kake was well aware of this, and if a group of navy men set out in large numbers, Crocodile might have already escaped by the time they crossed the desert.
In order to avoid disappointment, he ordered the navy ship to stay at the port and went to the rainy area where Crocodile was stationed alone to capture him.
Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are very powerful and Crocodile is a user of natural abilities, Kaji is still confident when facing them.
His strength is not weak either, and he can be considered as a first-tier level among lieutenant generals.
In this way, Kake crossed the desert and arrived at the city of Rainland where Crocodile was stationed.
During these few days, he had heard a lot of intriguing news—Alabasta had suffered a three-year drought, and the cause was surprisingly the once wise king; domestic rebels were entrenched, and it seemed they were about to clash with the king's army...
Perhaps ignorant people who had personally experienced the drought would believe these rumors, but Kake, who was able to become a lieutenant general, would not believe everything he heard.
This is definitely not normal. Whether it is the drought or the speech, it is very likely to be man-made.
As for who this person is, the only person that Kake could think of is Crocodile.
He had always thought that Crocodile's heroic name was strange, and if it was intended to overthrow the royal rule of Alabasta, then that made sense.
Many pirates have occupied a country.
However, compared to those upright pirates, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have to maintain their image of justice on the surface because they cooperate with the government.
And it is precisely because of the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that the Navy cannot openly investigate the intelligence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and turn a blind eye to what the Seven Warlords of the Sea do in various places. This leads to the Navy being completely unaware of what the Seven Warlords of the Sea are doing.
Thinking of this, Kaji sighed.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are a government system, and the navy has no choice but to abide by it even if they are reluctant.
I just hope that after this incident, the government will realize the dangers of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The outline of the rainy land can be vaguely seen ahead.
Kaji stopped and looked at the yellow sand rising not far away.
The yellow sand condensed and gradually turned into the outline of a burly man.
Crocodile, holding a cigar in his mouth, smiled at the wary Kake.
At the same time, in the port city of Rapeseed, a cargo merchant ship docked at the dock.
The next moment the pedal was lowered, a group of people hurried off the boat, breathing in the fresh air.
Dadan took a deep breath and spat a few times, but still felt like there was still sand in his mouth.
After a period of bumpy journey, the group of bandits finally arrived in Alabasta.
But it seemed that they arrived too early. No matter how they asked with Luffy's bounty order, they didn't find out that anyone had seen them.
"Boss, shouldn't we go eat first?"
After the bumpy ride, the bandits' stomachs were growling with hunger.
Dadan was also hungry. Hearing this, he covered his stomach and put away the reward order.
"Okay, let's go find a restaurant to eat first."
"Wuhu, the boss is awesome!"
The bandits cheered and followed their boss's footsteps. When they were about to enter a restaurant, they were blocked outside by a crowd of people inside.
Passersby watching nearby reminded them.
"You guys want to eat? Go somewhere else. Something seems to have happened here."
Dadan's curiosity piqued, "What happened?"
"It seems like someone was poisoned to death!"
"Hiss!" All the bandits gasped when they heard it.
Wow, running a restaurant and poisoning people is quite possible.
After thanking the kind-hearted man, Dadan led the bandits to another restaurant.
The cheers and shouts of the bandits reached the restaurant where the incident had occurred. Soon, a young man who had buried his face in his food and seemed lifeless suddenly raised his head among the crowd.
This scene scared many onlookers.
Amidst the screams, the young man patted his hat, grabbed the clothes of a bystander nearby to wipe his face, and muttered something in confusion.
"Strange, why did I feel like I heard Dadan's voice just now..."
Ace has been waiting in Alabasta for a few days. If Luffy doesn't come, he will have to set off and continue to track Blackbeard.
After capturing the other party and bringing him back to the Whitebeard Pirates, he had to go back to the East China Sea. He had to check on the situation of Dadan and the others.
...By the way, was that really not Dadan’s voice just now?
