Pirate's Nest Order

Chapter 248 Alabasta's Killing Intent

Great Waterway, Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

In the windy city, the passing streets were crowded with people wrapped in scarves and holding signs to demonstrate. All the signs were pasted with various slogans against the king, and angry abuse was everywhere.

This arid desert country has not had a drop of rain for a whole year and a half except for the capital, and the source of all this seems to be the result of His Majesty's use of dancing powder.

Dancing powder, also known as "rain-calling powder", can be used for rainfall, but once this powder is used, the cities living below will suffer from drought. And moisture has taken its place.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why only the capital of Alabasta has been raining year after year, and other cities are about to be swallowed up by the desert, such an extreme natural phenomenon that is completely opposite.

These demonstrators basically poured into the capital from all over the country. They gather here like a powder keg that is constantly accumulating strength. The scorching heat wave seems to dry up the air and scorch the ground. chapped.

"Make the king stop using dancing powder!"

"Give us back the rain!"

Waving the slogan vigorously, shouting and cursing, more and more people crowded the street, and the shops on both sides of the street were tightly closed, a scene of depression and desolation.

bang bang bang...

The parade team approached towards the palace, and at several intersections, garrison troops began to pour out, quickly blocking the advancing road, holding shields and sticks in their hands, shouting loudly at the parade crowd.

Roaring, cursing, and even crying sounds intertwined into chaotic tunes filled every corner of the country.

On the top floor of a tall building not far from the main street, the closed window was pushed open to reveal a face with a cross-cut scar on his face. In the scene below, some fine powder in the five fingers fell silently in the air, and was swept into the clouds in the sky by the wind.

"President, we have noticed that someone is investigating the dancing fans, and the navy seems to have begun to notice." The voice came from behind Crocodile, it was a senior agent of Baroque Studio.

"Finally started to notice it!" Crocodile stared at the hot air in front of him, his hoarse throat spit out a murderous intent: "How many raw materials have you collected?"

"Enough ore has been reserved, and at least 300 tons of dancing powder can be refined to produce at least 300 tons of dancing powder. Given the state of the country, 3 tons of dancing powder is enough to push the country into the abyss. Except for the capital Albana, other cities will Completely swallowed by the wind and sand." The guy who spoke showed his appearance, with a hair that looked like a candle poured on his head and was combed into a "[-]" hairstyle, he held a coffee cup in his hand and took a sip and replied.

"how long will it take?"

"1 to 2 years!"

Crocodile closed the window, and the sunlight in the entire room was blocked. He turned around, and the outline of the whole person seemed to melt into the darkness. "The fewer people who know the secret, the safer. Every link must be cleaned up."

"Understood!" Mr. 3 drank the coffee and put it gently on the table, "Other links are easy to deal with, and the traces can be cleaned up without going out of Alabasta; The other end of the Shishang Company is in the East China Sea, do I need to follow it?"

"I said clean."

"Ok!"

That's the end of the conversation.

On the other side, just sailing out of the East China Sea and passing the entrance of the Great Channel, it is expected to arrive in Alabasta in seven days. On a group of sea ships with the logo of the Longshi Trading Company, Lombard stood on the main ship and looked back to line up The seven huge sea ships lined up on the sea couldn't help but show vigorous smiles on their faces.

"After the colored stone mine transaction is completed this time, we will be able to lick two more big ships, and there will even be enough left in the Great Channel to recruit some really good sailors to escort them."

Kaba held the rudder with one hand, and the whistling sea breeze made a sound of "hunting" on the flag. He saw Lombardy's slanted eyebrows, and felt uneasy in his heart.

These few smooth transactions and the sudden expansion of capital seemed to make him feel complacent and inflated, and he lost the care and prudence of the past.

He felt that Lombardy's state was quite dangerous. Unlike Lombardy's rebelliousness, the more he had contact with the 153rd branch of the Navy, the more he could feel the unfathomableness of Yarlin. Both scheming and wrist are above Lombardy.

"I have to find a time to persuade Long Balie, and tell him to get rid of his dangerous idea of ​​trying to completely escape the control of the 153rd branch as soon as possible." Kabbah thought so in his heart, but he never expected that this time quietly approaching The ferocious killer has opened its bloody fangs at the destination of their trip.

The time at sea always passes extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the seven-day course has reached the end.

In the port off the coast of Alabasta, the ships of the Longshi Trading Company sailed into the port to berth and dock one by one. Lombard stretched his waist and watched the boatmen unload boxes of ore into the dock warehouse. He breathed wet and dry The mixed wind, sand and air, said to Kaba: "The wind and sand in this place is really getting bigger and bigger. It feels like the whole port seems to be submerged by sand again."

"Maybe the next time I come here, the whole port will really be buried in the sand." A parasol quickly landed on the top of the head, and Miss. Valentine appeared behind Lombaret amid exaggerated and sharp laughter. He pursed his lips and stared at Lombardy's stern side face, the pity in his eyes flashed away.

"Beautiful lady, what kind of wind is blowing here." Lombarie turned his head with a look of suspicion on his face. Except for the first joint, the people sent by the buyers in the next few transactions were not so important. character of.

The buyer of the colored stone mine is still very mysterious in the eyes of Longbalie. After careful inquiry, he only knows that Miss. Valentine's Day and Mr. 5 are quite high-ranking figures in the other party's organization.

"This transaction, the upper management attaches great importance to it, and there can be no mistakes." Miss. Valentine still wanted to talk, and the smell of gunpowder poured into Lombaret's mouth and nose, and Mr.5 was lingering with the smell of gunpowder Answer the words.

Lombarie looked at Mr.5 with a fierce expression, and instinctively sensed something was wrong in his heart. Kaba standing behind him suddenly changed his face. He stared at the desolate port, and suddenly realized that they seemed to be the only ones in the entire port. The boatmen who loaded and unloaded the goods, behind those warehouses seemed to be empty and quiet, and people seemed to have been cleared out...
