Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

After two days and two nights, the ships of the Universal Alliance arrived in Alabasta smoothly.

Boats dock at Yaruga pier.

It is in the process of being expanded, but already has the capacity to accommodate three or so large sailing ships.

Cobra had already learned the news from the phone bug, and personally led the crowd to the port pier to greet the visitors, as a show of respect for the visitors.

No matter which country you are in, "doctors" and "scholars" are always an admirable group of people.

As the representative of Drum Kingdom, Kureha had a formal meeting with Cobra, with a rare smile on his face.

Her usual personality is very arrogant and weird, but Cobra, as the king of a country, greeted them in person. This behavior made Kureha's impression of the Alabasta royal family much better.

"He is the father of the little blue-haired princess..."

Kureha put on her favorite sunglasses, grinned and sighed secretly: "The royal family is like this, there must be something to look forward to in this country!"

On the side, Hiruluke noticed the murlocs who were helping to unload the goods not far away.

"Hey! There are murlocs living here!"

He ran over excitedly, held the hand of one of the murlocs, and said with a big smile, "My friend, my name is Xiluluke, and I'm a doctor. Do you want me to help you with a physical examination?"

It was the murloc Wall who was captured by Hirulukla.

He scratched his head in embarrassment.

Although the performance of this Hiruluk in front of him was similar to that of other humans when they saw the murloc for the first time, as if they had seen a rare species, Wall felt that the other party was not malicious.

After all, I already called him a "friend" and even gave him a medical examination!

Coincidentally, Wall recently felt a little uncomfortable due to the climate in Alabasta, so he planned to nod.

But Kureha pulled Shiruluk away in time, and at the same time taught: "Stop messing around, we still have business to do!"

Wall could only shrug his shoulders with a slightly disappointed expression.

This stern-looking mother-in-law didn't seem to want her people to come into contact with murlocs.

But then, Wall was stunned by Kureha's words.

"Whether murlocs or humans, we all bleed the same blood, what's so strange about it!"

"I know, I know, don't grab my hair, I'm going bald!"

Hiruluk was caught by Kureha's hair, so he could only nod repeatedly, and at the same time shouted to Walgao: "Hey, friend, I'll find you for a drink when I'm free!"

Wall carried the goods on his shoulders and couldn't help laughing.

What a happy day!

...

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The establishment of the fixed route went smoothly.

According to incomplete statistics, in the first week, the masters sailing with the big ship repelled more than ten pirate ships, killed hundreds of pirates, and let go of a dozen on purpose.

In the second week, the number of pirates attacking the ships of the Universal Alliance decreased by 50%.

In the third week, it was almost gone.

The pirates in this sea area know very well that attacking those ships with strange blue flags means courting death!

Since then, the sailing route of the ships of the Four Seas Alliance has become much more stable.

As for the group of doctors and scholars, part of them stayed in Alabasta, intending to use the abundant resources of the superpower to establish a medical research institute.

This was something that Wapol had expressly forbidden before, but Cobra welcomed it.

The rest of the people returned to Magnetic Drum Island with Kureha and Shiruluk, and occasionally communicated with the boats.

...

a month later.

After dealing with the domestic affairs of the Drum Kingdom, Dalton was invited by Rowan to set foot on the land of Alabasta for the first time.

But Dalton was a little nervous inside.

He was born without the temperament of a king, and an overly grand scene would only make him feel uncomfortable.

But for the sake of everyone on Drum Island, Dalton could bear it.

But at the moment Dalton was very happy.

Outside the Murloc Village.

People from Yaluja, Murloc Village, and Magnetic Drum Island formed a large circle, and Dalton and Murloc Huoka were in it.

Both were shirtless, with excited smiles on their faces.

They met in Yaruga's tavern and had a good chat, so they planned to do something to digest after the meal.

Alazama - a traditional activity of the murlocs.

The two growled each other.

"Come!"

"Oh! It's coming!"

Immediately, the soles of their feet stepped on the ground and rushed towards each other.

There is a big difference in height between the two, and there is a difference between murlocs and humans. It stands to reason that the winner should be determined quickly.

But Dalton, as an animal-type devil fruit ability user, even if he does not use the half-orc form, his physical fitness is still far superior to that of ordinary humans.

Coupled with the strong body that has been trained for many years, it was even a match with Huoka for a while!

The two hugged each other, neither of them could shake the other, and they were deadlocked in place.

Suddenly, the two twisted their waists and abdomen at the same time, exerted force in their cores, and threw each other's bodies heavily to the ground.

boom!

The bodies of the two landed on the ground at the same time. Although there may be a slight sequence, no one cared.

Dalton and Huoka stood up, patted the dust off their bodies, held their two thick hands together, and laughed loudly.

The surrounding onlookers were also cheering.

Huoka sighed: "The guests on Drum Island are all very nice!"

Dalton also nodded, "I didn't expect that there was a murloc village in Alabasta. To be honest, murlocs are so powerful!"

"You're not bad, brother!"

The two talked and laughed, and sat together on the steps not far away, drinking and chatting.

They are waiting.

Who are you waiting for?

Rowan.

A few days ago, through the phone bug, Rowan invited Dalton to Alabasta, saying that they had to discuss important matters and that they might go out together for a while so that he could handle domestic affairs.

At the same time, Rowan asked Huoka to meet Dalton, saying that he would introduce a new friend to him.

Sure enough, because of their temper, the two got along very well.

Huoka has been waiting here with Dalton for a day.

He elbowed Dalton and asked, "Brother, why do you think Mr. Rowan called us here?"

Dalton thought for a while, then turned his gaze to the pier, "I think, maybe we want to go to sea together to do something?"

At the pier, there is a well-equipped ship docked with the flag of the Universal Alliance, which seems to have been docked for a long time.

Huoka also nodded.

At this moment, there was commotion in the distance. The two stood up and looked around, and saw several familiar figures.

It was Rowan, Crocodile, and Falcon Bell, the deputy captain of the Alabasta King's Guard, plus dozens of Alabasta's elite King's Army.

It's a pretty big team.

Dalton and Huoka waited for a while until Rowan led the crowd to the Murloc Village.

"Awaited."

Luo Wen nodded to the two, then smiled and said, "Is there a problem, let's talk on the way?"

The two were a little surprised, but still nodded.

Crocodile on the side knew Rowan's plan a long time ago, so he couldn't help being very curious.

He grabbed Rowan's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Without the top navigators, how do you go to Sky Island with just ordinary sailors?"

Rowan pointed to the ship docked at the distant pier, and replied with a smile:

"Go by boat."

Crocodile: "..."

nonsense!

But then, Crocodile noticed something strange.

He looked at the ship, squinted his eyes, and finally realized something was wrong.

There was obviously no one on that ship, but the draft was huge!

What's on it...?
