At this time, a middle-aged man in a white robe in the audience took two steps forward, his posture was slightly bent, and he responded with some respect and excitement, "Sir, this is what I saw with my own eyes. Shichibukai·Crocodile was beaten violently by Gol D·Allen, and he had no power to fight back the whole time!"
There was an indescribable joy in his words, a sense of joy that long-suppressed emotions were finally released.
It's just because they have already discovered Crocodile's secret activities, the severity of which can only be described as unconscionable.
Alabasta, Affiliated Nation as World Government, should have developed in peace and tranquility, but Crocodile, as Shichibukai, dragged this country into Endless's Abyss for his own selfish desires.
He was restricted by World Government and could not directly attack the royal family, so he actually came up with a vicious plan - using his own ability to prevent Alabasta from having any rain fall for several years.
The consequences of this move were disastrous. Countless civilians lost their lives in Drought, starved to death everywhere, and the people lived in dire straits.
But his vicious plot goes far beyond that.
He stored the precious water resources collected through his abilities, and then, like a high-ranking almsgiver, regularly provided rain to the people.
He tried to use this to create a false image of his savior and blind the eyes of the people.
After he established his prestige in the hearts of the people, he began to secretly slander the current king and wantonly spread rumors about the king's incompetence.
Soon after, Crocodile's fanatical followers formed Rebel Army, and he controlled the puppet behind the scenes, causing Rebel Army to constantly conflict with the country. His ultimate goal was to destroy Kingdom of Alabasta and ascend to the supreme throne himself.
Starting from this month, the conflict between the Rebel Army and the national army has become more and more intense. It is no longer the petty fight of the past, but has evolved into a cruel life-and-death war.
King Cobra faces this dilemma and has been unable to find a good solution.
Although he knew that Crocodile was the mastermind behind it, there was someone else behind the scenes who was the leader of the Rebel Army. Even if he reported the matter to World Government, they would just choose to stand by and ignore it.
However, just today, news came that Crocodile was defeated.
This should have been a moment of national celebration, but new worries arose in Cobra's heart.
The person who defeated Crocodile was Gol D. Allen, a man with an extremely bold behavior. Will his appearance bring about a new crisis?
After all, Gol·D·Allen is far trickier than Crocodile.
As Crocodile, as Shichibukai, he is somewhat restrained by World Government, and he does not dare to act too blatantly.
And Allen, even Celestial Dragons dared to beat and kidnap, while World Government could only pay the ransom obediently every time. If such a person has evil intentions towards the Alabasta royal family and wants to become the new king, I am afraid World Government will only turn a blind eye.
Bell in the audience was keenly aware of the strangeness of Cobra on the throne.
He saw that the king's face not only did not show the slightest excitement because Crocodile was knocked down, but instead frowned, he couldn't help asking with concern, "Sir, what happened?"
Cobra looked at the confused look on his confidant's face. In desperation, he had no choice but to express all his concerns. "I'm afraid that this guy D·Allen will become the next Crocodile!"
Bell's IQ is online. As soon as he heard this, he immediately understood the stakes, and a look of worry immediately appeared on his face.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.
The two people in the hall looked outside the door at the same time, and saw a middle-aged man in a green robe hurriedly arriving.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he shouted loudly, "Sir, something serious has happened!"
"Chaka, what happened? You are so panicked!"
Cobra asked calmly.
The man named Chaka was so nervous that his voice trembled. "Sir, Gol D. Allen and his party came to the city gate and said they wanted to see you for something!"
Cobra was shocked. Could it be that he had really been right?
But after all, he is a person who has seen the big world, and he quickly calmed down. After all, this is just his own conjecture, and it may not be true.
Seeing that Cobra did not respond immediately, Chaka asked, "Sir, what should we do?"
Cobra thought for a moment and asked, "Is Crocodile coming?"
Chaka quickly replied, "I didn't see him, only Gol D. Allen and three girls."
Hearing this, Cobra nodded, thinking to himself, now that things have happened, there is no other way, we have to see them, right?
This Allen, even Shichibukai dares to do something, who knows what he will do.
Thinking of this, Cobra said, "Please invite them in quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
Chaka took the order and left quickly.
Then, Cobra ordered to Bell, "Quickly notify us and let the kitchen prepare a dinner to entertain the distinguished guests!"
"Yes, sir!"
Bell also left quickly to notify the people in the logistics department to start preparations.
Not long after, Chaka led Allen and his group towards the main hall.
Still far away, Cobra began to carefully look at Allen, who had multiple identities.
After everyone entered the main hall, Yamato looked around at the decorations curiously, and then couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, what a poor kingdom!"
As soon as these words came out, Bell and Chaka were stunned for a moment. They really didn't expect that the first thing someone said when they entered this place was to complain about the poverty of this country.
However, this cannot be blamed on Yamato. In her opinion, all Royal Palace should be resplendent and full of luxurious decorations, but the decoration of Alabasta Royal Palace in front of her is too simple, and it is rare to see even a few gems and antiques.
At this time, Cobra had a gentle smile on his face and responded politely, "Miss Yamato, right?"
"You don't know, but Kingdom of Alabasta has always adhered to the concept of using money to improve people's lives, so the decoration of the Royal Palace seems simpler."
"What we care more about is whether people can live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life, rather than pursuing superficial luxury."
Hearing this, Yamato curled his lips slightly. Although he didn't say anything more, his thoughts may not have changed.
And Allen, since entering the main hall, has been quietly sizing up the Alabasta king Cobra in front of him.
There was a wave of emotion in his heart, and he secretly complained: This guy is really careless. His daughter wants to work as an undercover agent in a dangerous place like Baroque Works. He doesn't stop such a dangerous thing. Isn't he afraid that Desert Crocodile will attack his daughter?
