Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

"Alabasta, your emperor... is back!"

The calm and ancient voice fell into the ears of the people around, and one stone stirred up thousands of waves!

The yellow sand dissipated, and the five gravel soldiers stayed beside Luo Wen.

Seeing this, the king's army held weapons and stood beside their king and little princess.

The two lieutenants of the Kingdom Guard, Bell and Jaca, are ready to activate their devil fruit abilities at any time, and they are in a battle state!

However, as the king, Cobra walked out from the crowd again, and once again solemnly asked:

"Who are you?"

Rowan turned his head and slowly replied, "I'm Ryan Rowan."

When the words fell to the ground, the king's army did not react, but the pupils of Cobra and Weiwei suddenly constricted!

Ryan Rowan?

As members of the Neferutali family, they are all too familiar with this name!

When they were children, they all read the history of the Neferutari family.

Among them, the name of Ryan Rowan, and the founder of the Neferutali family, Neferutali, are listed first!

The two are close friends and sworn brothers.

The latter is the founding king of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The former is the only emperor of the Alabasta Empire!

The figure of the person in front of him gradually overlapped with the portrait in the history books.

Whether it's the outfit or the appearance, it's exactly the same as in the records!

"Are you... the ancestor?"

Cobra couldn't believe it, but the sense of fate made him unable to doubt it.

Hearing this, Luo Wen thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "If my sworn brotherhood with Neferutari counts, you are indeed my descendants."

"Wow!"

Vivi on the side suddenly became excited.

After all, he is only six years old, so he cares about something different from ordinary people.

"If you are of the same generation as the first patriarch, then wouldn't I want to call you Mrs. Mrs.... Grandpa!"

Rowan: "..."

After thinking about it, he corrected: "Actually, just call me ancestor."

Cobra nodded, and said solemnly, "Master Ancestor."

Rowan: "..."

When he died in exhaustion, he was younger than Cobra, so he was not used to being called ancestor by such an uncle whose daughter was six years old.

After thinking about it, Luo Wen changed the topic.

"What era is it now?"

Cobra replied: "1507 in the lunar calendar of the sea."

Crocodile let Rowan confirm that he was in the eight hundred years, and Cobra's answer let Rowan know the exact time!

"What a good time."

Rowan grinned.

Many major events that have influenced future generations are still in their infancy, and Luo Wen has enough time to adapt here, and enough opportunities to taste them one by one.

But first...

Rowan raised the spear in his hand, which was also the scepter that represented the identity of the former emperor of the Alabasta Empire.

The point of the gun pointed at the oasis highland where the king's army and the pirates were in a stalemate.

"The territory of Alabasta is not a place where mere pirates can run wild."

Luo Wen's voice was very calm, but it gave people an unquestionable feeling.

Jaca and Bell, the two vice-captains of the king's army guards, although they still have doubts, King Cobra's actions have already shown his attitude.

The man in front of him was the founding emperor of the Alabasta Empire, Ryan Rowan!

Known as the patron saints of Alabasta, they naturally did not want the current king whom they are loyal to lose face in front of his ancestors, so they immediately bowed and said:

"We will arrest immediately!"

"No need."

Luo Wen shook his head, moved his shoulders a little, "I have been asleep for eight hundred years, I have to do some exercise, otherwise I will be exhausted."

Do it yourself? !

Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help turning to the gravel soldiers beside Luo Wen.

He should be capable, right?

What kind of posture would the former emperor of the empire fight with?

Rowan walked towards the oasis, the gravel soldiers followed closely on the left and right, and the king's army, Cobra and others followed behind him.

What Rowan didn't expect was that Crocodile approached him on his own initiative.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious about why people who died eight hundred years ago suddenly came back to life."

Crocodile was smoking a cigar with a slightly gloomy smile.

Rowan was also laughing in a low voice, "Little crocodile, your desire is too obvious."

baby crocodile……

Crocodile is obviously not happy with this title.

Luo Wen continued: "You don't care how I live, you just want to try the upper limit of my strength, and then adjust your next plan."

Crocodile's pupils shrank, and he didn't answer, but his heart was trembling.

Could it be that the person in front of him is really an old monster resurrected from eight hundred years ago?

In any case, this man named Ryan Rowan's mental strength is far superior to that of Cobra and others!

But even so, surface work still needs to be done.

Crocodile immediately smiled and said, "What plan? I am Shichibukai, the king who has been recognized by the world government. I have been stationed in this country for a while and have protected many people."

From behind, Weiwei said loudly: "Yes, the newspapers say that Mr. Sand Crocodile is the hero of our country!"

Rowan smiled and nodded.

He didn't say anything more, and he didn't care about Crocodile's thoughtful gaze.

...

A group of people came to an oasis not far away.

Here, the pirates are guarding the high ground, confronting the king's army.

Seeing that Cobra had returned, the army commander in charge of this place seemed a little tangled.

"Your Majesty, the pirates have a caravan as a hostage, and we dare not attack!"

Cobra was about to answer when another voice spoke.

"No problem."

It was Rowan who spoke.

He leaned on the scepter and moved his fingers lightly, and all the gravel soldiers disappeared in place for a while, turning into a few pools of yellow sand.

Under the surprised eyes of the soldiers, he walked to the high ground alone, and looked at the pirate leader.

The pirate leader was stared at by this weird man who suddenly appeared, and felt uncomfortable.

He first asked his subordinates to line up to defend to ensure that they could not be attacked quickly, and then shouted:

"Don't come here again! Prepare the boat and supplies for us to go to sea. We will let people go when we leave Alabasta's waters!"

Very simple, very plain appeal of the kidnapper.

But Rowan didn't answer him.

The scepter shaped like a spear was swung out, and Rowan roared: "Soldiers, attack!"

All the king's soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay.

He...was calling us?

Obviously not.

Before Luo Wen's words fell, the four gravel soldiers gathered together again!

Holding long spears in their hands, they charged upwards at an astonishing speed from under the high ground!

The unity of its movements is perfect!

Swish!

In just an instant, the seemingly solid line of defense of the pirates was washed away, and the spear tip made of gravel pierced the shields of the pirates, defeating their formation!

In a panic, the pirate leader came near the kidnapped businessman and swung his knife to kill him.

Suddenly, the fifth gravel soldier jumped out from the side, pierced the pirate leader's hand with the tip of his spear, and then swept away!

"Whoa!"

The pirate leader let out a scream, was shot flying out, and was captured alive by the king's army swarming up.

Cobra wanted to block Vivi's eyes, but the expected bloody scene did not appear, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He understood that Luo Wen was taking care of Weiwei.

Weiwei couldn't help sighing: "My lord ancestor, it's amazing..."

"That's no longer a level of 'powerful'."

Crocodile was beside Cobra, his brows were furrowed, and there were even a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

Also as a person with the ability of rustling fruit, he can feel more things than others!

"The ability of the natural devil fruit is the most difficult to control. I have never heard of anyone who can master elementalization to such a fine level!"

Manipulating elements into human form? It's unbelievable!

Crocodile's heart became more and more vigilant.

Ryan Rowan, no matter whether this man is the founding emperor eight hundred years ago, he is overwhelmingly powerful!

That is a terrifying power that should never appear at the front of the great route!

...

After finishing off the pirates, Rowan asked curiously, "This is inland, why are there pirates?"

"They are not pirates, strictly speaking, they are chaos troops."

Cobra said helplessly: "They failed the coup and were kicked out by neighboring countries. They took the opportunity to sneak into Alabasta and occupied an oasis station called Santana."

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can only besiege and then wipe out the fish that escaped the net."

"Master Ancestor..."

Cobra paused, and said solemnly, "Sorry."

After all, Cobra thinks it's all his fault.

But Rowan shook his head.

After all, the times have changed, and the era when the nations competed for hegemony has passed.

Today's Alabasta Kingdom has a standing army of 600,000, but in the final analysis it is still a country dominated by commerce and trade.

The king of Hades is easy to pass, but the imp is hard to guard against.

With such a vast coastline, it is really difficult to guard against a gang of desperate troops.

But it's not that hard to kill them.

"Bell has checked, and there are no civilians there."

Cobra explained: "But a strong attack will cause a lot of casualties. They are just a group of rabble. They only need to be besieged for a few more days, and they will naturally surrender."

Luo Wen nodded, approvingly said:

"A very steady tactic, in the style of Neferutari."

Then, the topic changed, "But, it's not my style."

In just a split second, Rowan's words reminded Cobra of the man recorded in the history books.

It was a time when the sea nations fought for hegemony and fought for hegemony, bearing the immortal legend of the Alabasta Empire!

Wow...

The gravel rubbed against the ground, and then began to float along with Rowan's thoughts.

One gravel soldier after another stood up from the ground.

They lined up neatly, with solemn expressions, filled with an invisible oppressive force.

As the number of gravel soldiers increased, this oppressive force became stronger and suffocating!

Gradually, the number of gravel soldiers increased to an exaggerated level, far beyond the imagination of Cobra and the king's army.

The last soldier stood up and froze in place.

Their formation is unusually neat, so it is easy to judge their approximate number——

Ten thousand people!

That is an army of 10,000 people composed purely of gravel soldiers!

Huh...huh...

In the desert, only the whistling wind could be heard, mixed with the sound of a few king's soldiers swallowing their saliva.

Many are asking themselves, are they capable of defending against such an army?

The answer is: no!

Such an army is even enough to rampage in Alabasta!

Crocodile looked at the scene in front of him, his face stiffened for a moment, but then he regained his composure.

Cobra remembered several comments about Ryan Rowan in the history books.

The most concise of them is only four words——

One man becomes an army!

...

"Exercising my muscles and bones, it really feels very comfortable."

Looking at Weiwei with her mouth wide open, Luo Wen rubbed her head and couldn't help laughing.

It feels like an elder looking at his granddaughter.

Afterwards, he recovered his calm expression, waved his scepter, pointed in the direction of the Santana Oasis Station, and said in a low voice:

"Soldiers, go forward!"
