The palace.
The current king, Nafirutali Cobra, with a group of ministers at this time, hurried towards the tall building of the palace. Most of them were pale and sweating.
"Who can tell me why the head of the richest group is here?"
Cobra at the front had a gloomy face.
Usually, he was amiable.
But at this time, there was only trembling and anger.
Although the richest group acts arrogantly and overbearingly, it rarely provokes other kingdoms. Because in the eyes of the richest group, except for a few forces in the sea, the rest are small minions.
There is no need and no interest in taking the initiative to waste time.
But as long as the richest group makes a move, it must be these forces or kingdoms who took the initiative to provoke the richest group.
Then what awaits is destruction.
Alabasta claims to have 600,000 standing troops, which is one of the top powers even in the Grand Line.
But compared with the richest group, it is a fart.
Each and every one of them is a top powerhouse. They can make mountains collapse and the earth crack. Not to mention 600,000 standing troops, even if there are a million or ten million, it is not enough for them to kill.
At most, it is just a waste of time.
"Bastard."
Seeing that the ministers behind him were silent, Cobra knew that something must have happened.
The first thing that came to his mind was the gambling city, the red light district, the medicine shop, and the arms shop in the city. These were all where the richest group was located five years ago. They were not forcibly moved in, but paid taxes.
Not only Alabasta, but also the business of the richest group in other kingdoms.
To be honest.
With the size of the richest group, even if they forcibly do business in any kingdom in the world, no one dares to say anything.
Not to mention paying taxes.
The richest group is arrogant, but they still have basic integrity.
No need to think about it.
It must be that some ministers were jealous, or they did not receive bribes, so they colluded with some other forces to hinder the business of the richest group on the island.
And he knew nothing about the king.
Now the trouble is coming.
"Father."
In the garden outside the long corridor, a little girl and a running duck appeared, looking at Cobra and his people who left in a hurry, the big eyes were full of curiosity and doubts.
Her father had always been gentle. Why did he look so angry now?
"They run fast, let's follow them and see."
"Quack."
So one person and one duck followed behind.
At the same time, in the sky above Monarch City.
The pure golden halo that enveloped his body dissipated. It was Klokdal.
The reason he was here was because Betty had forcefully sent him here.
Since Stussy and Kaos went out to patrol, she and Bakara took over the work.
Whenever Betty was dealing with government affairs, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
I work hard every day, while Enel and the other guys are outside, I'm very unhappy.
He hit it off with Bakara, so he decided to let these guys do the work.
It wasn't just Enel, Archino, and Klokdal. Bear, Ivankov, and Bonis, who had been playing mahjong, had all been sent out and were now dealing with matters all over the world.
That was how willful she was.
Perhaps it was fate, so Klokdal came to Alabasta.
"It's Tsar Klokdal, the brainwashing director of the richest man's group."
"The bounty is as high as 3.58 billion Bailey."
"What?"
"3 … 3.5 billion?"
"Brainwashing is one of the most powerful forces in the richest group. He has many titles, such as the Tsar, the King of the Desert, the Great Emperor, the Environment Killer, the Thinker, the Philosopher, the Truth Emperor, the Light, the Missionary …"
"It is said that the Tsar has many fans and is a scholar who masters the truth of the world."
"It's over."
"It's the Tsar himself."
"Wait, he made a move."
Countless eyes looked at the sky because Klokdal made a move.
The swastika symbol rotating behind him suddenly stretched out four fine sand tributaries, piercing the sound and falling towards the four landmark buildings on the ground. Taking a closer look, it was the casino, the red light district, the medicine store, and the arms store.
"Damn it, have we been discovered?"
"I have long expected this day."
The casino manager, the owner of the red-light district, the medical store manager, and the head of the arms sales office were in charge of these four businesses. There were both men and women among them. When they saw the fine sand stream flying toward them, it was obvious that it was coming for them.
Just because they betrayed the richest man's group.
In the face of huge benefits, they still couldn't stabilize their mentality and chose to cooperate with some ministers, nobles, pirates, and thugs in Alabasta.
"I won't give up."
"Run."
The casino manager and the head of the arms store didn't choose to sit still and used Soru to quickly disappear on the spot.
The owner of the red light district and the manager of the medicine store were full of despair. They didn't intend to escape at all because they knew that they couldn't run away.
They are also very strong. At least they have mastered a few Rokushiki and Haki. They may be strong in Alabasta, but they are ants compared to the boss.
Why was she blinded by lard and chose to betray him?
It's too late to regret.
The four fine sand tributaries seemed to be alive, rolling up the owner of the red light district and the manager of the medicine store in one fell swoop, and the remaining two were like a sharp sword with a sonic boom. No matter how the casino manager and the head of the arms store escaped, they were nailed to the ground like a skewer.
"Mercy …"
Before the two finished speaking, they quickly dried up and turned into skeletons, and their lives came to an abrupt end.
This made many people tremble and swallow their saliva.
At the same time.
The owner of the red light district and the manager of the medicine store were also rolled in front of Klokdal, and both of them were pale.
"The pain of death or the pleasure of death, choose one!"
Klokdal lit a cigar and didn't even mean to ask.
There are only two choices.
Both are death.
The owner of the red light district and the manager of the medicine store were full of regret, but they still said everything.
They just want to die.
After that, the two quickly turned into dry corpses and fell from the air to the ground like skeletons.
As Betty's secretary group reported before, Alabasta suffered the betrayal of the manager, the owner, the store manager, and the director. They colluded with Alabasta's ministers and some pirates and swallowed a lot of money over the years.
He came here for only one purpose, to get rid of all the people involved, and the rest will be dealt with.
After the four insiders were dealt with, it was time to deal with Alabasta.
"Sir, I'm the king of Alabasta. I'm deeply sorry for the unfair treatment that Alabasta's richest group and I have suffered in Alabasta.
Please give me a month, and I will hand in a satisfactory answer. "
On the wall.
Cobra directly admitted defeat.
As a king of a kingdom, bowing to a pirate in front of many people will undoubtedly make his majesty suffer.
But Cobra is sober.
Compared to the majesty of the king, he cares more about the people.
If he doesn't give the richest group a satisfactory answer, he may end up like the Wine Kingdom.
He can't afford the consequences.
As for asking the Navy for help.
That's completely a distant water can't quench the immediate thirst.
Even if it can be solved, it's only for a while, not forever.
What's more, the Navy doesn't necessarily spend manpower and material resources to do these thankless things. It depends on the opponent.
If it's a general pirate force, it can be solved easily.
But the richest group is different.
Unless Alabasta becomes the headquarters of the Navy, like Marin Van Do.
"I don't have so much time to wait. Since Alabasta made a mistake, they must pay the price."
"Give half of Alabasta's finances every year, and the disappearance of the two oases is just a warning!"
Crocodile's face was expressionless. He spread out his hands and two mini sandstorms appeared. Crocodile threw them in two different directions. Suddenly, the two mini sandstorms soared with the wind. When they flew out of the capital, they became a huge sandstorm. It was like a natural disaster that disappeared at the end of the horizon.
The two sandstorms covered the clouds, and everything was destroyed wherever they went.
After doing all this, Klokdal didn't look at it, and his whole body was covered in pure golden light again, turning into a golden rainbow, leaving a long tail and disappearing into the sky.
"That direction is Juba and Eruma."
"Inform the people of Juba and Eruma to retreat."
Cobra almost lost his footing, looking at the sandstorm that stirred the clouds and the sky. In the face of this natural disaster, the two cities of Juba and Eruma would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Yes!"
"Blue … Blue!"
The Den Den Mushi's voice kept ringing.
At this time, the two sandstorms were getting faster and bigger!
Seven hours later.
When Cobra received the news, he fainted directly.
Juba and Eruma, which were originally oases, completely disappeared in the sandstorm. The number of casualties reached millions, and everything was buried in the yellow sand.
On this day, the whole country was sad.
But more than that, there was fear.
Some of the pirates who had personally experienced and escaped were even more frightened.
This was the strength of the wealthiest corporation. Destroying a city was as easy as blowing off a fly.
The sorrow of the weak.
They don't even have the right to choose death.
In front of those strong people, human life is like grass.
This is the cruel world of One Piece!
