The Strong Enemy Has Arrived
In a desert in Alabasta, giant crabs are speeding forward, kicking up clouds of sand in their wake.
These crabs are one of the animals unique to this Sand Country, called Hermit Crab. The inhabitants of the sand kingdom have domesticated these large crabs to transport supplies in the desert.
However, at this moment, the crabs were not carrying goods on their backs, but people.
One by one, armed naval soldiers!
On the back of the giant crab at the very front are officers with general ranks on their shoulders.
A man wearing a navy cap and a dark red suit stood at the front, his gaze deep and unfathomable as he silently looked out at the boundless desert.
He was none other than Marine Headquarters Admiral Akainu Sakazuki.
"Mr. Sengoku really knows how to send people around. He didn't even verify the other party's identity, yet he made such a big fuss."
Behind Akainu, a man in a plaid coat with a lewd face sat cross-legged, complaining, "I'm in a hurry to get back to my date with Gion."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Akainu was cold, and his voice was cold too, "Even if they're not Black Wolf's crew, they're still pirates who must be wiped out! And, Tokikake,"
"How many times has Gion rejected you? What date are you talking about?"
"Wow, Sakazuki, you--"
The man in the plaid coat clutched his chest, looking as if he had been seriously injured, and said indignantly, "How could you say such a thing! From today onwards, we're no longer friends!"
Akainu completely ignored him and coldly asked, "Where's Crocodile? How far is he from Alubarna?"
"Who knows? It's still uncertain whether he'll even come."
"He'd better not come! We can take him out too."
Inside a restaurant in Alubarna.
"I never imagined that such a thing was recorded on that stone," Luo said with some amazement.
After Sirius finished deciphering the text of the Poneglyph, they immediately left the cemetery. Although the place was historically significant, there was really nothing to see there.
After wandering around the city for a while, the four of them found a restaurant to eat at.
"The Ancient Weapon Pluton, the Strongest Weapon in legend, capable of obliterating an entire island with a single shot!" Hiyori exclaimed. "Now do we know its whereabouts?"
"Strictly speaking, it is I who know it," Sirius emphasized, highlighting his intellectual property rights.
"So, Sirius, where is that thing stored?" Yamato asked curiously.
Sirius thought for a moment, then leaned close to Yamato's ear and whispered a few words.
"Haha, it itches so much!"
Yamato and turned.
However, at least she heard Sirius's words clearly. "So that's where it is! No wonder it hasn't been discovered for so long."
"So, where is it?" Luo rolled his eyes.
You're ordering a couple's set meal, right?
Yamato suppressed a laugh. "Sirius said that if we told everyone beforehand, they wouldn't be surprised later."
"Then why can you tell Yamato?" Luo glanced sideways at Sirius.
"Because she's an idiot,"
Sirius said calmly, "Fools always find it easier to be happy."
"Sirius!!"
Enraged Yamato clamped Sirius's head under his armpits.
After lunch, we took a stroll around this ancient city.
The city of Alubarna is like a living history, with ancient buildings everywhere.
The thought that what I see is the same as what people lived a thousand years ago gives me a profound sense of history.
The tour continued into the afternoon, and it was time to leave.
Black notified everyone to assemble, and then Sirius three companions returned to the location of the Sirius.
Since Black arrived, there's no need to leave anyone on board the Sirius to guard it. According to Black, if anyone really wants to take over the Sirius, he'll give those fools a big surprise.
Shortly after Sirius and his companions returned, Jack, Maria, and Black also returned.
Finally, there's Ulti, Page One, and Bepo, and of course, Vivi Koza and Bell.
Are you leaving?
Vivi sniffed, her eyes slightly moist.
Although they had parted ways once before, this time their friendship was much stronger than before.
We'll meet again.
Page One laughed and said, "No need to be sad, my friend."
"That's right!"
Bepo wiped away her tears, "Don't be sad, Vivi, we'll definitely meet again!"
Page One glanced at him sideways. Didn't you say you weren't sad?
"Okay, stop crying, Vivi,"
Koza smiled and said, "Let's bid farewell to our friends with smiles."
The little princess wiped her eyes, then nodded solemnly, "Yes!"
"That's really good!"
Sirius sat on the gunwale, smiling, and said, "Friendship is pearls, memories are Diamond; this has been a memorable journey."
He raised his voice, "It's about time to leave, Pay-tan, Little Ulti, Bepo."
If we don't leave soon, my friend's family will start to worry.
Page One and the others didn't notice, but Sirius sensed it clearly. Behind the sand dunes in the distance, someone was waiting, probably extremely anxious.
"Here I am, big brother!"
Page One responded loudly, then said to his friend, "Well then, goodbye--"
"Kindness?"
Sirius suddenly turned his head.
Yamato also turned his head away.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked in surprise. "Is something coming from over there?"
"Still a little slow, they arrived really quickly."
Sirius stood up and stretched leisurely.
"Sirius, shall we fight?"
Yamato asked.
"Then let's play along with them."
Sirius laughed and said, "Anyway, we can retreat anytime we want, right, Black?"
Black calmly stated, "Our current top speed is about five times faster than before; no one should be able to catch us."
That's exactly the point.
Sirius smiled and nodded. He looked at Yamato, "Your training with Conqueror's Haki Infusion is almost complete. How about we seize this opportunity and go all out?"
"Kindness!"
Yamato nodded emphatically, "There won't be any problems today!"
She was full of confidence.
No wonder, Haki Coating's training had already begun before he even left the Beasts Pirates.
Now, it's just one final step away from victory.
In the distance, a plume of smoke suddenly appeared and then rapidly approached.
Before long, the smoke and dust had traveled from a distance directly to the front of Sirius and his group.
During the vehicle inspection, a figure leaped up and crashed onto the soft sand like a cannonball, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Black Wolf Sirius! I've finally found you!"
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Admiral Akainu, huh? In that case, it seems we've already fought all three Admiral of Marine Headquarters."
Without a word, Akainu's arm instantly transformed into magma, billowing smoke rising and the pungent smell of sulfur filling the entire area.
"Ready to die?"
But at that moment, a shrill voice rang out.
"Wait! Sir! Don't do anything! I'm the princess of Alabasta, I've been kidnapped! Please save me!"
After watching the Rubber Fruit for over a decade, it turns out to be the Human-Human Fruit! Mythical Zoan are the best, okay?
