Pirates of my own way

"That's why I hate the King's Shichibukai system. The fall of one Shichibukai means the birth of another new and more evil Shichibukai." Smoker, who was preparing to leave with Crocodile and Mr. 1, said to Lu Shen Said, "Now that the Sand Crocodile has fallen, and you are hiding behind and don't want people to know, it's a question of who will be the new Shichibukai."

Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "Let the navy and the world government have a headache. Besides, who is the new Shichibukai, does it really matter to the world?"

Smoker was stunned, then boarded the ship in silence and left Alabasta. He seemed to be no longer so confused about what "justice" was and what kind of path he wanted to pursue.

"Let's set off too."

As soon as Smoker left, Lu Chen and others were about to leave.

The conditions promised by Weiwei on the negotiation table included land, taxes, etc. Coco, Linda and others in the East China Sea would naturally arrange manpower and other matters. After reporting Lu Chen's agreement, they came to Alabasta to formally hand over to the royal family.

"Hey, boss, where are you going now?"

The speaker was Mr. 2. As he spoke, he transformed into Lu Chen.

Being out-of-touch by nature, he seemed not to notice that the surrounding cadres of the Arakaze Pirates were wary of his ability to imitate the fruit.

If he impersonates Lu Chen at a critical moment, the Arakaze Pirates might be in huge trouble.

Lu Chen gave Mr. 2 a flat look and said, "Xiao Feng, don't be like me all day long. I have enemies. If one day you accidentally become my scapegoat, don't blame me."

Feeling Lu Chen's dissatisfaction and beating, Fon Clay angrily changed back to his original state.

"Go to the magnetic drum country." After tapping Fon Clay, Lu Chen finally revealed their next destination.

According to the news, similar to the Kingdom of Alabasta, that small island country is also currently experiencing war.

It is said that a group of extremely powerful pirates attacked the island country inexplicably and then left. The king who fled in a panic returned again, causing the entire country to experience internal war.

Of course Lu Chen knew about the Ciggu Kingdom. Before coming to Alabasta from the East China Sea, he had to pass through the Ciggu Kingdom.

But at that time, such news had not yet spread, and Lu Chen did not dare to board the Cigu Kingdom to inquire. He even specifically asked to stay away from the Cigu Kingdom as much as possible when sailing, and pay attention to avoid all ships near the Cigu Kingdom.

According to the original work, it was Blackbeard's gang who attacked the Drum Country.

There should be five people, and the current Blackbeard should not be a bug-like dual-fruit ability user.

But Lu Chen would never gamble on luck. In his opinion, Blackbeard in the original work was simply an anti-hero, the opposite of Luffy.

Although he has confirmed that Luffy is still in the East China Sea, his goal is to become a pirate hunter, and there is no sign that he has obtained the Straw Hat, but the absence of Luffy who wants to become the Pirate King does not mean that Blackbeard's luck will weaken. .

That kind of guy is destined to have a strong luck buff.

There is another problem. If Lu Chen wants to control the Drum Country, it will be difficult for him to form an alliance because this country is too closed and backward. He cannot find allies like Weiwei of Alabasta, so he will You can only go out in person.Occupy the magnetic drum country.

And that might arouse Weiwei's alertness and affect his "heroic performance" in Alabasta.

Therefore, Alabasta must be taken care of first, and then the Drum Kingdom can be planned.

And now, King Valpo is back, which means Blackbeard and his gang are gone.

Like the Kingdom of Alabasta, a war-torn country can easily become prey for careerists.

As a country not far from the East China Sea and the Kingdom of Alabasta, Lu Chen did not intend to let go of such an opportunity.

Except for the Kingdom of Goa, the rest of the East China Sea has basically been captured, and Alabasta has now become a reliable ally to advance and retreat together. Since the Kingdom of the Drum is not far away, Lu Chen does not intend to have any power that he cannot control on his side. .

Big Horn, a village in the Drum Country, where Luffy entered the Drum Country in the original work.

As soon as they got off the boat, Lu Chen and others felt strong hostility.

Every household in the village looked at them with hatred, and some even threw stones at them!

The cause of the turmoil in this country was that a group of powerful pirates attacked them.

This is what the villagers think. They don't think about the deeper reasons at all. They only think that they could still live together, but everything changed after that group of powerful pirates came.

Crowe is essentially a cold and selfish person. If it weren't for Lu Chen, he would still be playing the role of a polite butler in Xiluobu Village. The hostility of these Big Horn villagers has no impact on him.

Yamaguchi is a calm guy, always very reliable, and a few stones are not enough to anger him.

As for Nicole Robin, although she is only a young girl, she has been homeless since she was a child and has experienced more tragic and darker scenes. This little thing does not touch her much.

Only Von Clay was more emotional. At one moment, he scolded the king of this country for being nothing, and at another, he angrily wanted to fight with the villagers who threw stones at him.

Lu Chen was a little curious, how could such a generally kind and sentimental guy keep following the Sand Crocodile guy to do evil in Alabasta? Is it true that there is so-called villain charm like in many comics?

After restraining Fon Clay from running around, Lu Chen led everyone slowly towards the Drum Castle.

As a winter island, the entire island where the Drum Kingdom is located has cold winters all year round.

Even in this world where the per capita physical fitness is extremely strong, such a winter island can be called a bitter cold place.

The Drum Castle is located thousands of meters higher than an edge village like Big Horn. Getting there is not an easy task.

Even if they are as powerful as Lu Chen and his party, it will take some time.

And Lu Chen didn't want to go too fast. According to his understanding, at the moment, the former King Valpo was leading the so-called Brickik Pirates, and they were fighting fiercely with the army led by Dalton, the former Guard Captain of the Drum Kingdom.

Valpo and his gang were extortionate, cruel and tyrannical. They had already bankrupted their credibility in the Cidgu Country. When Blackbeard's gang attacked earlier, they simply gave up resistance and chose to go into exile, which made the people completely abandon any illusions about them.

But Dalton has a very tall and positive image among the people. Lu Chen wants to get involved in the Drum Kingdom, and the person who can cause obstacles is not Valpo, but Dalton.

When the bad guys are in power, just kill them and then act like a good guy. This is what Lu Chen did in Alabasta.

But if there are good people on the field, things are not so straightforward.
