Although it was late at night, Cobra was still in the palace reviewing documents while waiting for Heka and others to arrive.

"Father."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Cobra put down the documents in his hand, walked quickly to Heka, and looked at his lost son carefully. At this time, he was no longer the wise monarch he usually was. At this time, Cobra was just an old father who was overjoyed to see his son return safely.

Atun and Atum first reported to Cobra about the situation of the diplomatic mission to the neighboring country, and then withdrew.

At this time, only Cobra, Heka, Poppy, Bron, and Samira were left in the huge palace, and the guards and maids in the palace were also gone.

"Father, I want the royal treasury!" Heka's voice broke the silence.

"Tell me the reason."

"The person who assassinated me was Crocodile's man. We need a lot of money to improve our strength."

Hearing Heka's words, the thing that Cobra was most worried about happened. Crocodile did have a plan to attack Alabasta.

"Do you have any evidence?"

"No."

"Then there is no way to ask for help from the World Government." Cobra sighed deeply.

"Father, we can't rely on the World Government alone. After the Age of Exploration, Alabasta's military force can no longer guarantee the stability of the country. We need to strengthen our own strength. Rely on the mountain and the mountain will fall, rely on the people and the people will walk. One punch will open the way, so as not to receive a hundred punches!"

"Hahaha!" Looking at the high-spirited Heka, Cobra laughed heartily, patted Heka's shoulder and turned to the crowd on the side.

"What you mean by strengthening your strength is to hire these strong friends." Cobra smiled and gestured to everyone.

"But isn't 1 billion a bit?" Cobra hesitated, and whispered to Heka's ear: "You know, the bounty of Shichibukai Crocodile before was only more than 80 million, and you know the situation in Alabasta."

Hearing Cobra's concerns, Heka hesitated for a moment and decided to confront Cobra.

"Father, it's not a hire, it's my ability."

"Da Da Da."

In the deep corridor, there were only the footsteps of Cobra and Heka. Cobra lit the oil lamps on the wall one by one, illuminating the hall at the end of the corridor. A large number of gold and silver treasures were neatly arranged on the shelves in the hall.

"This is it, the treasury cannot be moved. These are treasures collected by previous kings, you can choose here."

"System recharge 1 billion!" Heka waved his hand, and a small half of the treasures in the treasury disappeared.

"Change the canyon lottery."

Cobra's eyes widened, and his son waved his hand, and the treasures collected by generations of kings disappeared. You know, that was the collection of the previous kings. Any one of them would attract countless pirates. I couldn't help but worry about the future financial problems of Alabasta.

While Cobra was thinking about it, a golden card appeared in front of Heka. As Heka clicked, the card rotated and dissipated into countless golden light spots, and the golden spots slowly condensed into a burly man wearing armor and holding a big sword.

"Congratulations to the host for winning the lottery: Demacia Power-Garen."

Garen, the guardian of Demacia, is also a symbol of Demacia's glory and force. His tall and resolute image, powerful strength, and the concept of justice and honor make Garen a nearly perfect hero in Demacia.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing five heroes. Now the host randomly draws a hero's passive ability."

"Drawing is successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Trial of Fire."

Trial of Fire. Sure enough, everyone in the One Piece world can play with fire! Putting the newly added ability aside, he looked at Garen who stepped out of the golden light.

"This world needs heroes like you. Welcome, Garen!"

"Justice is with me. My sword will swing in the direction you point." Garen stood on the sword with both hands and performed a standard knight's etiquette to Heka.

At this time, Cobra was already standing there. From Garen, Cobra felt a strong momentum, which he had found in the senior generals of the navy. In just a moment, this momentum was restrained. At this time, Garen was like an ordinary guard standing behind Heka.

"This room will belong to you in the future." Patting Heka on the shoulder, Cobra was ready to turn around and leave. Today's impact on him was indeed great.

"Oh, father, there is one more thing." Heka took out the sleeping little Gua from his arms and chased after Koub like offering a treasure.

Pull's footsteps.

"The spies report that the Alabasta guards are back and are in the prince's mansion."

The woman with the cowboy hat handed the information in her hand to the people sitting on the sofa, who were Nico Robin, the son of the devil from Baroque Studio, and Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Mr. 5 failed. It seems that our prince is really lucky." Crocodile took the note and glanced at it, and the note turned into dry powder in his hand.

"Tell that rubbish to give him another chance. If he fails again, he doesn't have to come back. I will send someone else to take over everything in his hands, including his life."

Soon after, rumors spread from Albana, the capital of Alabasta, that the prince had received guidance from the gods of Alabasta and found a sacred spring under the royal palace. At the same time, two huge cracks appeared in the capital almost overnight. One extended westward to the wasteland in the middle of many towns, with a large pit with a radius of several miles at the end, and the other extended eastward, pointing to the original river of Alabasta. Cobra mobilized nearly half of the royal capital's guard troops, and within a few days, he built two ground rivers in the royal capital that extended from the pyramid-shaped royal palace to the outside of the city.

Just as the whole country was shocked by the miracle of the terrain change that occurred overnight, two huge clear streams gushed out from the palace gate, rushing east and west along the existing river channels and cracks in the earth to the royal capital, gradually forming a huge lake in the deep pit on the west side, and greatly increasing the water volume of the river that was about to dry up on the east side.

"Now the water supply problem in towns across the country has been basically solved. The lake on the west side has been named the God Lake. It is said that people have spontaneously built a temple by the lake." Atun was reporting the recent situation to Heka in the new royal palace.

"Any news about Garen and Poppy?"

"Garen and Poppy have been fighting pirates who are harassing the people in Alabasta recently. Some people have called them heroes of Alabasta."

"Any news about Crocodile?"

"Crocodile showed up in the rainy land yesterday and repelled a group of pirates who wanted to go ashore. Garen and Poppy have already set off for the rainy land."

"Well, is there any other news?" Heka opened the window and looked out. Not far away was a magnificent pyramid. Two rushing rivers flowed out of the pyramid gate, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot capital. Now, the divine river on the ground of Albana has become a pilgrimage site in Alabasta, and a large number of people come to admire the miracle every day.

"The caravan has set out to trade food and find drought-resistant seeds for the countries in the Grand Line."

The climates of the islands in the Grand Line are different, and there are many drought-stricken islands. I have heard that some countries cannot survive because of pirate invasions, oppression by nobles, or oppression by heavenly gold, but none of them is like Alabasta. As a big country, the king is wise, the officials are honest, and the people are desperately digging for food in the land, but they are still struggling on the poverty line. If the whole country is not too poor and its ability to cope with drought is too poor, Crocodile will not be able to make the whole of Alabasta fall into turmoil with a little trick.

"Ask whatever you want to ask."

"Your Highness, we have solved the hidden danger of drought now, and the people will not go hungry anymore. Why do we have to spend so much to find these crops?"

"Aton, when Alabasta was prosperous in the past few years, almost everyone in the country could only barely eat enough by farming. But I don't just want them to be full. I need to make some people in Alabasta stop farming. There is enough food for the whole of Alabasta. These people can go to business and work. I need to make Alabasta rich."

Heka stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. Atton felt that his eyes seemed to contain the whole of Alabasta. What was contained in his eyes...

"It's money, money! We have to make Alabasta rich quickly!" Heka roared in his heart.

When thinking about Xiaogua's placement before, Heka remembered that there was a historical text under the royal palace! That was the clue of the legendary Hades. If this news spread, Alabasta would face endless troubles. After discussing with Cobra, Heka asked Bron to break through the basement, introduce seawater, sink the entire historical text in the seawater, and let Xiaogua purify the seawater.

Although in the original work, Alabasta did not seem to be disturbed by the historical text after Crocodile, Heka did not dare to gamble, especially with powerful lunatics like Kaido and Big Mom.

Alabasta, rainy land.

"Kill, little ones!"

"Everything here is ours!"

"Cry, run away, haha

"Ha!"

A group of pirates attacked the soldiers guarding the rainy land while attacking the surrounding vendors and shops. The pirate captain wearing a captain's hat stood in the middle of the street, admiring the chaos caused by his men while raising his gun to knock down the soldiers who resisted stubbornly.

"Ha, thank you, Captain!"

Watching his opponent being knocked down, the pirate used his sleeve to wipe the blood off the blade and turned his eyes to a mother and daughter huddled in the corner.

"Bang!" A round shield flew out from the corner of the street, knocking the pirate who was about to reach out to grab the mother and daughter away.

"Evil will eventually be punished!"

Waving the greatsword in his hand, Garen rushed into the pirates and chopped down the nearest pirates in a blink of an eye.

"It's Knight Garen! "

Garen's sudden joining greatly relieved the pressure on the soldiers. As if they had found a backbone, the soldiers who had been struggling to resist gradually gathered behind Garen and began to follow Garen's charge to counterattack the pirates.

The pirate captain saw his brothers disintegrating towards him, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to be about to condense into a solid and overflow from his pupils.

He casually chopped down a pirate who escaped to his side and shouted loudly.

"Waste! He is alone, let's kill him together!" He rushed towards Garen who was killing everyone with a knife, but saw a child with twin ponytails holding a giant hammer blocking him.

"Get out of the way, kid!" The pirate captain was also impolite and swung a knife at Poppy who was blocking the way.

"Zeng! "

Poppy held the shield in his left hand and swung it back, blocking the pirate captain's attack. He then grabbed the giant hammer with his backhand and smashed it on the pirate's head.

Seeing the giant hammer that was bigger than his head falling, the pirate didn't care about anything and rolled back with the power of Poppy's shield swing to avoid the hammer.

"Bang!"

The huge force of the giant hammer hitting the ground instantly shattered the stone slabs on the street.

"Hey, hey, wait, I think we can talk!"

The fallen pirate captain didn't care about his face at this time and begged for mercy loudly.

"Oh, then tell me, why are you acting wild in my territory?"
