The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Well……"

Weiwei hummed drowsily and woke up from the bed.

The sun shone from the window onto Weiwei's bed, causing her sleepy eyes to lie on the bed in a daze, then she slowly sat up against the back of the bed.

The sun shone warmly on her body, making her feel comfortable.

"I am..."

Weiwei stroked her long aqua-blue hair, confused.

Wasn't he already very old?

Was it a...dream?

There was no one else in the room. Weiwei climbed out of bed lightly in her loose pajamas and looked around to confirm that this room was exactly where she lived before leaving Alabasta.

"But hasn't there been no one living here since I left? Why is the layout so...familiar?"

Weiwei looked at it blankly, did she really have a long nightmare?

She silently walked to the window and looked out.

A gentle breeze blew outside the window, rolling up her long hair. An eagle owl flew past in the clear blue sky, making a neighing sound.

In front of her, in the deserted central square of Albana, dense crowds of people were working tirelessly. They were all actively participating in the reconstruction of the square, and it was a lively scene.

Not only in the central square, there are also many people busy on the streets that were destroyed during the war.

Among these busy people are the royal guards led by Bell and Jaka, the rebels with fierce auras, and the martyrs wearing all kinds of fancy clothes who came from all over the world to support them.

Of course, the people who have the most support are the people of Alabasta.

"……Ha ha."

Weiwei stared blankly at the scene outside the window. After a long time, she couldn't help but smile with relief.

It turns out...it wasn't a dream.

That battle really happened.

And looking at the scene now, Alabasta has won.

"Where is Lady Mary?"

Weiwei realized what had happened after a moment.

Logically speaking, he has given almost all his life force to Mary, so that she can have the power to fight Crocodile.

However, now that she was young again, Weiwei naturally thought about whether Mary had done something.

Moreover... she would wake up in her room, which was beyond her expectation.

…

"Are you leaving now? Why don't you stay a little longer?"

On the top of a house in Alabasta, Mary and Smoker were sitting there chatting.

When Smoker told Mary that he was leaving soon, Mary was a little surprised.

Ace left secretly on his own, which Mary could understand. After all, news from the Navy Headquarters had come, and Garp and Zephyr would arrive in Alabasta in the near future. Although compared to Crocodile, they arrived a little late.

But this doesn't mean that Ace doesn't need to worry about it. If he is caught by Garp in Alabasta, it will be impossible to return to the Whitebeard Pirates if he wants to avenge Thatch.

So he slipped away so neatly that even Mary didn't notice when he ran away.

Of course, even if she knew, Mary wouldn't do anything. She agreed with Ace on this point, that is, Ace could not be caught by Garp.

After all, Mary still needs to let him trigger the war. If Ace is caught by Garp, with Garp's character, it's hard to say whether Ace will be used by Sengoku.

At least for Garp, the meaning of his grandson being captured by him and the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates being sent to Marinevando by the pirates as a surrender letter have completely different meanings.

Just in case, it would be better for Mary to let Ace run to catch Blackbeard.

But Smoker left so quickly, which really surprised Mary. When Smoker walked up to her and said this to her, Mary immediately asked him to go to the rooftop to talk in detail.

"Well, it's indeed time to go. I originally came here just because of the bad things in Alabasta. Now that the entire Donghai facade is being watched by Dasqi, I'm not worried."

Smoker said matter-of-factly.

Mary was silent for a moment and said to him: "Instructor Zefa is also here this time. Don't you want to meet your teacher?"

"No." Smoker said with a self-deprecating smile, "As a student, I didn't get any good grades. I didn't do anything big in the East China Sea. I didn't have anything to say when I met the teacher. To be honest, I didn't do anything this time.

Coming to Alabasta is considered AWOL, and it's impossible not to get scolded."

After that, Smoker stood up, put out the cigarette in his mouth, and said naturally:

"Okay, I just came here to say something to you. I'll be leaving right away. It's not good to leave without saying goodbye."

Seeing this, Mary stood up with a wry smile, shrugged and said:

"Okay, then when you go back, remember to say hello to Dasqi for me."

"Um."

After pondering for a moment, Smoker looked back at Mary, considered for a moment, and then said:

"Mary, although I don't know how you defeated Crocodile, I know that your current strength is probably far greater than mine."

"The speed of your progress is really beyond my expectations. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the most talented person I have ever seen."

"But when you are under Teacher Zefa, Mary, don't even think about hiding your clumsiness."

"The Navy Headquarters is a place with extremely fierce competition. Only by showing one's potential and even strength can one obtain a high enough resource tilt."

"I shouldn't have said these words, but I still want to remind you."

"Your record of defeating Crocodile is not remarkable enough. The reason is naturally that Crocodile was too scientific before he awakened. In the eyes of many people in this department, he is not actually a very strong person. And you are still with your colleagues.

Ace, the natural-type fire fist, and I are fighting Crocodile together. People who don't know the specific battle situation will inevitably underestimate your strength."

"Even teachers are not exempt from vulgarity."

"So when you get to the Navy Headquarters, take action when it's time to take action, don't hold back..."

Smoker kept talking nonstop, and although Mary felt like it was going in one ear and out the other, she never interrupted him.

After a long time, Smoker let out a long sigh.

"Are you finished?"

"Well, that's it."

"..."

"I am leaving."

"Bon Voyage."

Smoker turned into a puff of white smoke, drifted away, and finally disappeared from Mary's sight.

Mary looked at Smoker's disappearing figure and said with a smile:

"I understand these things without you having to tell me...I'm not a patient person."

After that, she suppressed her smile and turned back towards the city center.

…

"Luffy, leave quickly! We won't be able to leave until that marine comes to his senses!"

Usopp pulled Luffy, who was eating and drinking, with a horrified look on his face, while the others held their foreheads helplessly.

Luffy is a foodie...

The reconstruction of the city after its destruction requires a lot of manpower. At the same time, these people who volunteered to participate in the city's construction were provided by Alabasta officials and served themselves in the city center with a full range of dishes.

Luffy was a very old-fashioned person, so he stayed here to help move some things. The workload of one person can be enough for ten or twenty people, and the appetite is naturally the same.

How can I put it, the palace chef is very good at cooking, and there is no limit to the food, so Luffy is very happy with it.

Sanji ignored this and silently ran to the chef Tira Gotan to exchange cooking experience. Zoro, on the other hand, regarded carrying materials as strength training and had no objection to Luffy's approach.

After Nami received a large sum of money from the Alabasta royal family as a thank you to the Straw Hats, she became sublime and of course she didn't care about it. Only Usopp was always worried that Mary would come to trouble them.

After all, Mary's cruelty towards pirates was obvious to all. Although Usopp believed that he and his team had done nothing bad, since he was carrying the name of a pirate, he still felt unsure when facing Mary.

"It's okay, Usopp..." Luffy ate the meat and said vaguely: "If she comes to trouble us, I will definitely beat her away this time!"

Usopp's face turned pale when he heard these words, and just when he was about to cover Luffy's mouth, the terrifying sound that sounded to him like a death sentence suddenly came out.

"Oh, Straw Hat boy, you are really arrogant."

Usopp's movements stopped immediately, and he stiffly turned his head to look at Mary, who was walking towards him.

Zoro glanced at Mary and continued moving bricks. Nami was still immersed in the small money and couldn't extricate herself.

And Luffy just stopped for a moment and continued to eat like crazy, not paying any attention to Mary's arrival.

When Mary came to stand in front of him, Usopp quietly moved a few steps away, but after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and stood next to Luffy.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Usopp said with a trembling voice.

Mary glanced at Usopp, looked at Luffy who was immersed in eating, was silent for a moment and said:

"I owe you a favor this time and give you a piece of advice——"

"Luffy, don't get involved in some things casually."

"Of course, I know you won't remember if I tell you this."

Mary shook her head as she spoke, turned to Zoro and said:

"Green Algae Head, thank you for teaching me swordsmanship. I also wish you can defeat Hawkeye as soon as possible and become the world's greatest swordsman."

Zoro nodded to Mary noncommittally.

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

Mary closed her eyes and nodded in approval.

Then, she took out a few bottles from her waist and threw them to Zoro.

Zoro ended them lightly and took a look. There were some unfamiliar words on them.

"These are my thank you gifts for you. They are some wine from the northern country. Take it easy, this stuff is much stronger than the wine you have drunk before."

When Zoro heard this, he looked at the bottle in his hand and grinned.

"Wine? That's really nice. Thanks."

Mary nodded and turned to leave.

Suddenly, she stopped and seemed to remember something interesting. She turned back with a narrow expression and whispered:

"Oh~ By the way, I almost forgot to mention it. The famous Lieutenant General Garp will be coming to this island soon. I wonder if Mr. Garp will take action against the pirates on this island."

After that, Mary left without caring about Luffy's reaction.

Luffy also looked stiff and couldn't eat anymore.

Looking at Mary walking away, Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Huh, fortunately, this navy girl is still very reasonable..."

"let's go!"

Usopp was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Luffy who stood up solemnly with a confused look on his face.

"Eh? Luffy, what's wrong..."

Usopp asked in confusion.

Luffy shook his head and said firmly:

"let's go!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Luffy let out his trademark silly laugh, grabbed Nami and Usopp, and drove wildly with the two people's blank eyes, causing a commotion on the street.

"This idiot captain..."

When Zoro saw this, he covered his forehead with a headache.

He shouted to the kitchen in the distance:

"Sanji, hurry up and get going!"

In the distant kitchen, Sanji poked his head out unhappily and said loudly:

"What are you doing? I haven't finished discussing it yet!"

"Then you can continue the discussion, we are all leaving!"

"Huh? Huh... wait a minute, Ms. Tila Gotan, I'm sorry, I have to leave first! I look forward to having the opportunity to exchange cooking skills with you in the future!"

…

Deep in the palace, a heavy door gradually opened.

"This is it, Your Majesty Weiwei, Your Majesty Cobra."

Icarim opened the door and led the way for Vivi and Kobra.

"Icarim, there is no need to call me Your Majesty from now on."

Cobra smiled gently and said to Ikarem.

"I am no longer the king of this country. I am just an ordinary Alabasta man now."

"Maybe he's still a sinner."

Ikarem didn't know whether he believed this, but Weiwei smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Father, the most difficult period is now over, and I no longer need the iron-blooded character to cover up. The rebel army has gradually been consolidated, and Father, you no longer need to bear these charges."

"And...in fact, when it comes to running the country, I'm not as good as you."

Vivi explained to Cobra.

But now Cobra was a weather-beaten old man. He just smiled and shook his head.

"No, Weiwei, you have done a good job. I am relieved that you rule Alabasta."

"From now on, Cobra will disappear. I will serve as your staff from now on. If you have anything difficult to decide, just come and ask me."

"Haha, I haven't relaxed for a long time. I also want to have tea with Ikarem and study opera later."

Ikarem smiled, bowed his head slightly and said:

"Extremely happy."

Weiwei looked at the two singing harmoniously and shook her head helplessly, then straightened her face and strode into the dark room, while Ikarem and Kobra looked at each other and quickly followed.

Go up.

Walking to a solid wood coffin that exuded cold air, Weiwei lowered her head and looked down.

Crocodile was covered with poison, and his strangely half-broken corpse was lying peacefully inside.

"Krokdahl's body was discovered by soldiers at around 1025 Ninth Street. Crocodile was lying in this posture in the middle of the road at that time."

Ikarem explained, paused, and then continued:

"Based on the narratives of Lord Smog, Lord Tina, Lord Ace and others, the person who killed Crocodile should be Miss Mary."

Hearing this, Weiwei smiled as if she had expected it.

"I know……"

She spoke softly in a voice that no one could hear clearly.

After coughing, Ikarem looked at Crocodile's body and asked seriously and cautiously:

"What should I do with this body...?"

The room fell silent, and Ikarem remained silent after saying this, while Cobra narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Vivi with a smile, and waited for her to make a decision without saying a word.

.

Weiwei pondered for a moment and said:

"...Let him sleep here forever."

"Um?"

Icarim and Kobra were both stunned when they heard this, with some confusion in their eyes.

Weiwei chuckled in relief and said:

"Although Crocodile is hateful, he can cholera our country. Fundamentally speaking, the problem still lies with us."

"It was our lack of control over the country and insufficient understanding of the people's living conditions. It was our constant mistakes in decision-making and the combination of various reasons that led to the final disaster."

"From now on, I will leave Crocodile's body here and write this piece of history into the history of Alabasta."

"When successive kings were crowned, prime ministers and generals came to power in the future, they would all be asked to take a good look at this body."

"Let them remember this painful history."

"As for killing and exposing corpses..."

Weiwei sneered disdainfully.

"We are a big country and we don't do this kind of price reduction."

"This is my decision."

Ikarem chuckled and shook his head with emotion. Kobra couldn't help but applaud with joy.

You have really grown up...
