days in the world of pirates

Alabasta.

This is one of the superpowers on the Great Line. It not only has a huge land area, but also has a strong military.

No country on this route is more powerful than it. Just thinking about the 600,000 garrison of Albana, the royal capital of Alabasta, can make countless people tremble with fear.

What is this concept?

You must know that the total population of many countries may not be as large as this number.

Lu Xun once said: Once a person exceeds ten thousand, there is no limit.

Multiplying this by 60, it can stretch for several kilometers on a flat surface.

Moreover, the capital that can support 600,000 troops is powerful in terms of financial, material and manpower.

It’s just that in recent years, especially in the past two or three years, the whole country has been causing trouble because of Lao Sha’s behind-the-scenes. As a result, only the royal capital in the kingdom has been raining, while other places have not rained for three consecutive years because of the ‘suspected’ royal family’s use of dancing powder.

After rain.

You must know that many places here are desert areas.

Coupled with Lao Sha's own abilities, as well as the natural erosion of the desert due to drought and lack of rain, other places except the royal capital are already suffering unspeakably.

The people who couldn't survive chose to break with the royal capital and started fighting each other under the leadership of the rebel army and with the weapons secretly provided by Lao Sha.

In the past two years, the entire kingdom has been ruined.

Recently, there has been an undercurrent in the kingdom, and Lao Sha's Utopia battle plan has reached the point where it has to be launched.

The only beneficiary after hiding this was the Sand Crocodile, one of the King's Shichibukai. Old Shakrokdal was obviously not a good person. Even though there was a warning from Mawson in the previous King's Shichibukai meeting, he still did not change his search for the world.

One of the ultimate weapons, Pluto's target.

Not to mention, a few years ago, a new woman who could support a genius came to his Baroque Studio-Nicole Robin.

It is even less possible for him to let go of his thoughts!

Lao Sha is a very ambitious guy, which can be seen from the fact that after he became famous overseas, he went directly to Whitebeard to challenge him and replace him.

At the same time, he is also a relatively pure pirate who will do whatever it takes to achieve his own goals. In this regard, he and Doflamingo are actually the same type of people and can be said to be of the same breed.

In the eyes of people like them, they can't see the life and death of ordinary people at all. They can ruin a country without hesitation in order to achieve their own goals.

This is very similar to Doflamingo. On the surface, both of them are unruly guys, but secretly they are full of evil.

All kinds of conspiracies and tricks are most handy to use!

The conspiracy to seize this country is just part of Crocodile's plan, and the ultimate goal is to find information about the ancient weapon Pluto, one of the world's ultimate weapons.

In the end, it is still to become the Pirate King!

It can be said that Lao Sha's starting point was correct. Even if he made detailed plans to seize this country, his ultimate goal was not to manage this country.

——Becoming the Pirate King is his ultimate goal, and the ancient weapon Hades also serves this idea.

It's just that Lao Sha ignored a big problem in this regard. The reason why the Four Emperors are the Four Emperors is that they are powerful enough. The same is true for the former Pirate King Roger.

That's why they can gather a large group of powerful people!

Look at Roger and the people gathered around the Four Emperors, and then look at Lao Sha and the people around him.

No matter in terms of strength or structure, there is no comparison at all. It can be said that it is still far behind.

The most powerful Mr.1 under Lao Sha is placed in the New World Four Emperors, and he is at most an ordinary cadre level. Even if Lao Sha fights against the strongest people under the Four Emperors, such as Ka Er, Jin and others are still inferior.

A lot of heat.

After all, in this world, one must be strong enough to be able to dominate the world. The so-called power of ancient weapons is just an illusory thing. In this era, no one has ever understood their true appearance.

And if the ability of the Shasha Fruit is developed to the extreme, the strength it brings to itself will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored.

Just like the current three generals of the Navy, they have completely transformed their own abilities into their own strength, and thus stand at the top of the world.

Crocodile is still too superstitious about so-called ancient weapons. His strength has not increased over the years. His improvement in recent years was because he was almost beaten into a younger brother by Doflamingo before he put getting stronger on his agenda...

That is, during the critical period of Lao Sha's plan, Luffy's Straw Hats arrived just in time.

As expected, he is worthy of being the biological son of the world in this period. No matter how much influence Mawson has had on the world, as long as there is no direct intervention, there will always be a strong inertia that will push things back to their original state.

The occurrence of historical events in the world is always inevitable, and it is the rule to make small changes but not to change the general trend.

Alabasta is also slowly falling into the abyss towards an unpredictable bad situation in the future - if there is no influence from powerful external forces.

but,

Before that, another major event happened in this land that had become silent due to the desert.

But it's just not known to ordinary people.

…

…

And the protagonist of the incident is not from Luffy and his group.

Instead, he met the great pirate from the New World, Ace, the captain of Whitebeard's Second Squadron, and Vincent, the commodore of the Navy Headquarters and Admiral Mawson's younger brother, whom he had met earlier.

This is a battle about the natural system.

There are not many people who are lucky enough to watch this battle, because the battle between these two people is not like in the plot, where ordinary people can watch at will.

In a battle between truly strong men, one careless move may kill countless other ordinary people.

Therefore, most people are afraid to avoid any battle involving this level, let alone come forward to watch.

Except for some daring journalists, few would take such a risk.

The battle started in the desert. Ace originally wanted to pursue Whitebeard and did not want to cause trouble here.

But Vince didn't think so. He had been escaped by Luffy because of the dragon before, but now he had encountered a bigger fish here, so there was no reason to let him go.

As a result, a collision about a powerful natural system broke out here.

In the endless desert, a patch of snow-white and a patch of red occupy the sky here.

It just seems that compared to the rising flames, the wind and snow are somewhat suppressed here.

Tropical deserts are not suitable for ice and snow to survive, especially since the desert temperature during the day has been in the 40s and 50s, not to mention Ace's flames, which can be regarded as the nemesis of ice and snow.

And this is half of Ace's home court, and Vincent's real strength seems a little weaker.

Unlike Ace and Luffy, Vincent's talent can only be considered average, while the former two are undoubtedly one of the most talented people in the world.

When the wind and snow meet the fire, they turn into water and are absorbed by the sand on the ground.

After all, this land has been wild for a long time and is in urgent need of a lot of water to nourish it. Well... the snow is good snow, but I don't know if it turns into water and is good water.

On one side of the desert area, some areas have been burned by the blazing flames into a kind of gravel that is almost crystallizing.

On the other side, there is white snow and ice covering the ground.

At this time, both Ace and Vincent were much less powerful than the two Sakaski Kuzan who completely changed the topography of an island in the plot.

But the power of the natural system is already foreseeable.

The two people in the desert didn't hold back much, and within a radius of a hundred meters around them, the weather was completely different.

The scene of a snowy sky and billowing flames looks quite spectacular from a distance.

The danger can only be seen from the inside.

"Hey, Navy, you are no match for me. I am not here just to fight with you. If you really want to fight, I can spend as much time with you as I want after I catch that hateful guy."

Ace's body was surrounded by blazing red flames with white hints, and he made a hissing sound in front of him because of the heat of the flames and the stimulation of the ice and snow.

The steam is constantly rising, and as soon as it is evaporated by the fire, other steam continues to be added, and the cycle goes back and forth, making it look like steaming clouds and mist.

In addition, the blizzard in front blocked the line of sight, so even the two parties involved in the battle could not see each other.

Fortunately, they all have mastered the skills of seeing and hearing, and are not afraid of the embarrassing situation where they operate as fiercely as a tiger in a battle, and their results are completely empty at first glance.

Moreover, both of their moves are large-scale AOE, but one is a fire man and the other is a snow man.

"It's not my style to let the pirates who run in front of me go. Unless I lie down, I will never let you go."

Vincent's voice was a bit breathy in the wind and snow. The two of them did not fight for a long time, but the consumption was completely different from that during training.

Ace scratched his head, a little helpless: "What a stubborn person. If it weren't for the sake of my boss...for the sake of your brother, I wouldn't be polite to you, but now I don't want to be targeted by a naval admiral.

.

Now it seems that I can only complete my work by letting you fall down. Then you can try my newly developed trick..."

In honor of that guy!

[Sacred Fire. Big Fire Ball Technique]

This was the weirdest name among all Ace's moves, but he heard Mawson reciting it many times before, so he remembered it in his heart.

I won't mention the name for now, but this move is indeed a very powerful move that he has mastered so far.

It's one of his trump cards!

A sun seemed to suddenly appear in the sky, and the blazing temperature completely vaporized the wind and snow around him, so that even water vapor could not be seen.

The air seemed to be extremely distorted by the temperature of the white fireball, making it look somewhat unreal.

Vince could naturally feel the power of this move. There were faint stains of sweat on his forehead in the ice and snow, which showed the intensity of the battle just now.

At this time, his expression became more solemn, even slightly pale.

Countless blizzards appeared out of thin air, and then all the blizzards gathered in front of him, blocking the way of the huge incandescent fireball like a small sun.

【Qianxue.Mushan】

boom!!

The violent explosion roared, causing a huge deep crater to be blown out of the place where the two of them were.

The extremely dazzling light was infinitely brighter than the fireball just now. The nearby snowflakes and sand were all vaporized by the energy and temperature that exploded at this moment. The distant snow and sand were vaporized.

An extremely powerful shock wave flew all over the sky.

Covered the entire sky!

a long time.

Everything dispersed, and there was only a figure lying there in the huge pit. The clothes on his body were torn in many places, and there were many places where blood was stained and the skin was scorched black by the high temperature.

But he was still trying not to let himself pass out, and there were already double images in his vision, as well as some vague shouts.

"Victor!!"

"Sir Vince?!"

"..."

However, the place he was staring at had become empty!

far away.

A figure wearing a cowboy hat appeared. He was wrapped in a cloak, completely covering himself.

All that was left was a young face with many freckles under the cowboy hat.

"Speaking of which, the attack you just took was a bit harsh. This is that guy's younger brother. If he knew about this, I would be in trouble given his character."

"Never mind, I can't afford to offend you, just run away!"
