From the moment he landed on the island, Yoriichi Tsugikuni could sense the surging emotions of the people of Alabasta.
There are actually remnants of the Alabasta Kingdom on the deserted island that should have been blocked by the World Government and the Navy. With a little thought, you can understand why these people stay here.
It is impossible for a normal person to stay on an island with such scarce supplies.
I think it is because of the pressure from the World Government and the Navy Headquarters that these survivors continue to stay on this island.
Yuan Yi couldn't understand for a moment why they didn't kill all these people to block the news.
I'm afraid this has something to do with the fact that the Nephite clan was originally one of the twenty kings, aristocratic family?
The depth of the circular island was not very deep. In just a few minutes, Tsugumi Yuichiro's figure appeared at the edge of the sinkhole.
In just a few years, the tiankeng has undergone tremendous changes compared to five years ago.
Standing at the edge of the pit, Jiguo Yuanyi could feel the scorching heat coming up from the pit, but strangely, the heat coming out of the pit also had a huge impact on the surrounding environment. The dense vegetation around the pit showed the characteristics of a tropical climate.
"Ancient weapons are surprisingly powerful to this extent."
After seeing this tiankeng with his own eyes, Ji Guoyuanyi had a clear understanding of the power of ancient weapons.
A giant kingdom like Alabasta has a land area far beyond that of an ordinary small island country.
Even if the current Yoriichi Tsugikuni were to use all his strength and kill all the people of Alabasta, it would be impossible for him to completely destroy the land of Alabasta and create a crater on the land.
Even Yoriichi Tsugikuni couldn't carry out this level of attack.
The power of ancient weapons has far exceeded the realm and limit that humans can reach.
"I didn't find that ancient weapon in Malinjoa."
"Is it because the weapon is floating in the sky?"
"Is it hidden on some sky island I don't know about?"
"Or is it buried deep beneath the soil of the Red Earth Continent, and only retrieved when needed?"
After witnessing the power of ancient weapons with his own eyes, Tsugikuni Yoriichi became completely fascinated by ancient weapons. At this moment, he frowned slightly, recalling his experience in the holy land. He had not found the ancient weapon that attacked the Kingdom of Alabasta at that time.
Although there was a secret room hidden in Imu's garden, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's observation Haki could not capture the same energy as that weapon.
I think that kind of weapon would not be able to be used a second time in a short period of time.
Otherwise, the World Government would not have sat idly by and watched the new navy develop in the New World.
Although the new navy under Zephyr's control did not demonstrate absolute dominance, according to the various intelligence analyses obtained by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni during this period, the expansion of the new navy was still progressing in an orderly manner.
If they are given enough time to develop, they will surely become a behemoth that threatens the world government.
In fact, if we ignore the strength of the grassroots navy, the combined combat power of the new navy's senior leaders alone can also pose a huge threat to the World Government.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi found no evidence of the New Navy and Vegapunk resuming contact in the various intelligence reports he received. It wasn't difficult to conclude that if the New Navy and Vegapunk had reestablished contact, the weapons they were using wouldn't be the same as they were five years ago, with no significant developments.
In the end, it still depends on Yoriichi Tsugikuni himself to find a way to kill Im.
But before that, Jiguo Yuanyi still needs to find back what he lost.
"call out--"
Ji Guoyuan took a light leap and jumped directly into the bottomless sinkhole in front of him.
The wind was howling, and his figure was swallowed up by the darkness of the pit.
On Oliva's side, unable to bear the cries for help from the survivors of Alabasta, he finally patiently listened carefully to the suffering these people had endured in recent years.
After the destruction of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the survivors were imprisoned on this isolated island with a shortage of supplies.
Originally, there were far more people who survived the disaster than there are now, but over the years, those who tried to escape from here were killed by the Navy Headquarters. At the same time, many people contracted diseases and died without receiving treatment.
After the population dropped sharply to a certain level, the supplies on the island were barely enough to support these people to survive until now.
Oliva was a young and passionate man who could not bear to see the people being oppressed and suffering such hardships.
There was no need to ask for Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's consent. Oliva immediately agreed to help them and take them away from the island.
The naval branch stationed here will also suffer a devastating blow from Oliva.
The bottom of the sinkhole in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
A golden stream of light descended from the sky, and then condensed into the figure of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and the ground under his feet was a little soft. The moment Yoriichi's feet stepped on the ground, cracks appeared on the ground, and hot magma flowed out from the cracks.
The magma touched the boots of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and instantly ignited his boots.
Yuanyi's bare feet were already stepping on the flowing lava, and a look of nostalgia and intoxication appeared on his face.
Although it was a remote place, Yoriichi Tsugikuni felt as if he was back home and felt extremely comfortable.
He likes this place very much.
The walls of the tiankeng are inlaid with sparkling diamonds and exposed gold. Under the reflection of the fiery red magma, the bottom of the tiankeng, which should have been pitch black, does not appear dark at all.
Ji Guoyuan looked at the empty plain and let out a sigh. All the hope in his heart disappeared at this moment. After standing still for a few seconds, he wandered aimlessly in the pit.
There are two purposes for being here. One is to personally measure how deep the sinkhole blasted by ancient weapons is and see what the bottom of the sinkhole looks like; the other purpose is to find the lost weapons.
In order to resist the attack of ancient weapons, Jigoku Yoshiichi gathered all his domineering power into his weapon, Dawn. If he was lucky, his weapon would have a chance to survive such an attack.
However, after seeing the scene before him, Yunyi no longer had any expectations.
There are not many troops stationed in the Alabasta Kingdom's naval outpost, and the leader of this force is just a major general.
Although he was born in the headquarters, the combat capability of this rear admiral can only be considered mediocre.
It's OK for dealing with the "rookie pirates" in the first half of the Grand Line, but it's not so good for dealing with talented ancient survivors like Oliva.
Oliva didn't have to spend any effort to subdue all these navy men. Being kind-hearted, he had no intention of killing them all. Instead, he handed these navy men over to the Alabasta survivors on the island for disposal.
But for the remnants of the Alabasta Kingdom, how could they possibly let go of these guys who killed their families?
Revenge when revenge is needed, and seek justice when injustice is needed.
Even though these people who had been held captive for several years were somewhat afraid of the Navy Headquarters, driven by hatred, they still chose to execute these Navy Headquarters. Even Cobra, who had retained his sanity, did not want to dissuade these crazy people at this moment.
I wonder if the headquarters navy who followed the World Government's orders to seal off this island will feel some regret in their hearts at this moment when they are about to die?
All the navy stationed on the island were killed, and the people rushed into the watchtower, opened the granary, and started a party.
Oliva, who helped these people take revenge, was also regarded as a benefactor by them and given the highest preferential treatment.
At this moment, even the prestigious Cobra was marginalized by these people who had completed their revenge.
These people also know what will happen to them after killing their own navy. It is precisely because they know the consequences of killing their own navy that they respect Oliva and hope that Oli can continue to lead them and lead them away from here.
Oliva, like them, is also a criminal who attacked the Navy Headquarters. Now they are actually tied to the same rope.
Although the meticulous Oliva didn't know what Yoriichi Tsugakuni's attitude towards these people was, he knew that Yoriichi's new navy was against the World Government and the Naval Headquarters. If it were Yoriichi Tsugakuni, he would probably be able to accept these people.
But now Oliva has gone somewhere for some unknown reason, so he can only appease these people and find some work for them.
The warship docked in the port naturally became their trophy. If they wanted to lead these people away from here, they had to be able to drive this warship.
Oliva originally wanted to rely on his knowledge of navigation to teach these people a lesson.
Who would have thought that most of those who survived the attacks of ancient weapons were fishermen who went out to sea to fish all year round.
This actually saved Oliva a lot of training time.
Jiguo Yuanyi was away for two full days.
After the enthusiasm of the carnival subsided, the remnants of the Kingdom of Alabasta also began to think about the future. Oliva took the opportunity to let them board the warship to familiarize themselves with the operation first, and also asked them to move the supplies in the sentry tower base onto the ship, ready to leave here at any time.
Now that they have physical work to do, the slightly impetuous people finally settle down.
One day, at noon, Oliva, who had just finished lunch, was on the deck enjoying the sea breeze to digest his food when a skinny middle-aged man approached him:
"Captain Ekber, are you free now? I have something to tell you."
This middle-aged man was called Garcia. He was in his early fifties, with dark skin and a thin build. He was now alone, his wife having died in the disaster, her internal organs shattered by the aftermath of the ancient weapon.
A few years ago, his son joined forces with some young people to build a ship and go out to sea, but he was discovered and taken away by the navy on the island and has not been heard from since.
After capturing the navy's watchtower the day before yesterday, he did not see his son in prison. He thought he had died.
"Oh! Garcia, what's wrong?"
Garcia enjoys great prestige among the remnants of Alabasta. He was one of the leaders in the execution of the naval prisoners. That incident also made him one of the decision-makers among the remnants, and he was even more loved by the people than the former king Cobra.
Oliva also had a deep impression of Garcia. When he saw him coming to him, a simple and gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Captain, there is something I think you need to know."
As he spoke, Garcia carefully looked at the people who were resting on the deck. The nearest few people were several meters away from them, so they probably couldn't hear their whispers.
Feeling relieved, Garcia lowered his voice and whispered:
"Nefert Cobra, that guy is the former king of the Kingdom of Alabasta."
"It's a noble."
"Although he has lived on this island with us for these years, I don't think he and we are on the same page."
"Back then, my son teamed up with some young people on the island to build a ship to leave the island. The ship had just taken shape when it was discovered by the local navy."
"Before this, the navy had never paid any attention to us."
"I think my son was reported for building a boat!"
"That person must be Cobra!"
"This island is short of supplies, and many people starved to death in the early years. He and his daughter have survived to this day. If it weren't for the navy's supplies, they would have died long ago!"
"It must be him. He's the one who's acting as the Navy's insider!"
"Captain Oliva, you must be careful!"
Garcia's words revealed a lot of information. As he said, the reason why Cobra and his daughter were able to survive on this island was also due to the support of the navy.
After all, he is the king of a member state of the World Government. Even if he is imprisoned on the island, the treatment he receives cannot be the same as that of these civilians.
This differential treatment also deepened the conflict between Cobra and the survivors.
After Garcia's son was captured, he tried to gather some people to attack Cobra, but the kingdom was destroyed, and in just a few years, the old king Cobra's power was still there, so he did not succeed and was easily resolved by the other side.
This time, Garcia also wanted to use Oliva to get rid of the person who killed his son.
In his heart, Cobra, who had always been treated differently by the navy, was the culprit who killed his son. His hatred did not dissipate because of killing the navy on the island, and his deeper hatred was transferred to Cobra.
"The King of Alabasta?"
"An insider?"
Oliva gently stroked his chin, with a simple and confused expression on his face, but what Garcia didn't know was that while Oliva showed this expression, he was also carefully observing the little old man.
There is no blind listening and blind belief.
Just as Oliva was thinking about how to deal with this matter, a slight sound of breaking air was heard in the sky. The next moment, a figure in a black robe and holding a broken sword landed on the deck.
Seeing this man, Oliva's face showed deep joy. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiguo Yuanyi make a gesture to stop him from saying the next word.
Oliva understood what he meant and changed his words:
"Sir, you're back!"
