The Pirate Garen

Something happened here, and Robin was already exhausted physically and mentally when he returned to the rainy land.

Robin couldn't figure out why Galen wanted to kill those high-level agents who could have been recruited, so he could only regard everything that happened that day as the mental cleanliness of the "Justice Knight" to punish evil and promote good.

The completely incomprehensible behavior of his own boss made Robin's sense of security that he had built up with great difficulty become precarious.

What makes Robin even more insecure is: his former boss, Crocodile.

Crocodile now pins all her hopes on Robin's undercover operation, so naturally she won't easily let go of her vital pawn.

He is like a shadow, always lurking near Robin, watching Robin's every move in the dark.

But Galen did pick a good place to meet:

The meeting place for the senior agents was a vast ocean, and Crocodile, who was on guard against Galen, would naturally not put himself in danger.

After Robin returned to the rainy land, Crocodile couldn't wait to find him and asked the undercover agent to report to him.

However, the first thing Crocodile opened his mouth to ask was not the situation of this gathering of senior agents, but the ancient weapons he was most concerned about:

"How about it?"

"Did that guy let go of the history text?"

Seeing the eager look in Crocodile's eyes, Robin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Galen's tone has indeed changed, and it seems that he is interested in 'Pluto'."

"However, he also said that he will study the historical text after the Alabasta matter is settled."

"hehe."

Crocodile smiled disdainfully:

"This hypocrite who pretends to be a knight of justice still can't resist the temptation of ancient weapons."

"Fix the Alabasta matter?"

"It seems that he failed to pry out useful information from that foolish princess. He is planning to coerce the royal family after controlling the country!"

Crocodile translated Galen's behavior with his own thinking, and the situation fit perfectly.

Anyway, there was only a thin line between the hero who saved the country and the thief who stole the country.

"Since that guy has already shown his interest in ancient weapons, he can't help but make a move."

"When the time comes, ask him to help us find out the whereabouts of the historical text."

Crocodile faintly showed a look of winning, and asked Robin again:

"Then have you found out what he's going to do next?"

"Next step?"

Robin frowned slightly, and said somewhat incomprehensibly:

"He wants dancing fans."

"Not only the dance fans that our work agency needs to stockpile, but also the channels for us to buy dance fans."

Dancing powder is a prohibited substance that is banned from production and circulation by the world government.

Its function is to condense water vapor and artificial rainfall, and its effect is extremely overbearing, and the success rate of rainfall is almost 100%.

But its biggest disadvantage is:

Its ability to condense water vapor is too strong, so strong that it can absorb all the water vapor in the surrounding cities. While allowing itself to receive rainfall, it transfers the drought to other regions, which eventually leads to the bad influence of "harming others and benefiting oneself".

Crocodile created a large-scale drought in Alabasta by secretly releasing dancing powder in the capital of Alba.

And the whole country is suffering from drought and struggling to survive, only the capital where the king lives has abundant rain because of dancing fans, the citizens will naturally feel hostile to the scapegoat King Cobra.

However, after Crocodile's plan to steal the country suffered a huge setback, he no longer had much thought about helping the capital with artificial rainfall.

Now when Robin mentioned it suddenly, Crocodile asked in a puzzled way:

"What does he want dancing fans for?"

"I don't know."

Robin shook her head, she really couldn't figure out what the new boss was thinking: "It is said that it is for a new wave of propaganda."

"Propaganda offensive?"

Crocodile faintly recalled the weird news that he saw before, and couldn't help shaking his head with some amusement and sighed:

"This guy makes all this shit."

"Then cooperate with him! Anyway, dancing fans don't have much effect on us anymore."

"OK."

Robin responded obediently to the command of the sand crocodile, but after a moment of pondering, he frowned slightly and asked:

"Boss, don't you want to ask about the situation of this gathering of senior agents?"

"Ha ha."

Crocodile showed a disdainful smile on his face, and put on the appearance of holding the wisdom pearl again:

"How can it be so easy to embezzle my work agency and recruit my subordinates?"

"Just accompany him to perform this play well, and let him be happy first!"

"But."

Robin said with a strange look:

"The senior agents have almost been killed by him."

"The mid-level agents were also tricked out by him afterwards, and then..."

"What?"

Crocodile, who was unknowingly hacked into a bare-handed commander by Galen, turned dark involuntarily.

Rapeseed, a port city in Alabasta.

Unlike Rainland, which is the most prosperous inland port, Rapeseed Flower is positioned as a coastal deep-water port with a larger throughput than Rainland, and it is also one of the busiest ports in Alabasta.

And here is also an important performance venue in Crocodile's original plan to steal the country.

Just over half a year ago, Crocodile specially arranged for a group of actors to pretend to be the servants of King Cobra, and staged a scene in the Rapeseed Port where "the king secretly transported prohibited dancing powder, accidentally overturned and was caught by the public".

Under the Buddhist management methods of King Cobra, who neither controls public opinion nor strictly investigates rumors, nor comes forward to clarify and investigate the truth, the people of the whole country are soon deceived by Crocodile's small tricks, and the cauldron of drought in the whole country is detained. On the head of King Cobra, who loved his people like a son.

Today, two other more professional actors have also stepped onto the stage of Rape Flower Port.

Although the heroine, Weiwei, was a little bit embarrassed, she was still tangled in front of Galen and asked before she took the stage:

"Galen, are we really going to act like this?"

"Isn't this deceiving the public?"

Galen will naturally not waver, he has long been a professional in this regard:

"How can this be said to be deceiving the public? This is guiding public opinion!"

"If we don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, those rebels and conspirators will."

"Do you want to watch the domestic rebel forces continue to grow?"

Weiwei immediately stopped talking, but lowered her head with a complicated expression.

Because of Crocodile's secret promotion and the continuous large-scale drought in the country, the rebel forces in Alabasta have reached an astonishing 100,000 people.

If there are a hundred thousand well-organized rebels in a country and they are supported by the majority of the people, there will be a disaster of national subjugation.

In such a situation where national security was at stake, the overly kind-hearted King Cobra was not only unable to put all his heart and soul into suppressing the rebellion, but he also could not even show his determination to suppress reactionary speeches and control unfavorable public opinion.

Because King Cobra, who loves the people like his son, has always insisted on keeping the people's lives free from the influence of power, and is used to giving the people the greatest freedom.

But freedom without restrictions is definitely not true freedom.

Cobra's good governance can be said to be one of the culprits for the current turmoil in Alabasta.

"Vivi."

Galen persuaded again in a deep voice:

"Only in this way can the reactionary sentiment of the people be calmed down as quickly as possible."

"Your father and king have agreed to cooperate, so what are you worried about?"

"kindness."

Vivi nodded heavily, and finally made up her mind to perform the play well according to Galen's ideas.

Thus, a big drama on the propaganda front opened.

The beginning of the plot is similar to the one arranged by Crocodile before. A convoy secretly transporting dancing powder "accidentally" overturned on a crowded pier, and then let the people find out that this is a forbidden law that made them suffer from drought. things.

"Dancing fans?!"

The emotions of the people were quickly ignited by this contraband, and they questioned and cursed loudly:

"King Cobra is still using this harmful thing!"

"No wonder the drought in the country can't stop!"

Then when the scene fermented to a certain level, a pair of eye-catching men and women appeared in front of everyone, and immediately became the focus of the audience.

The man is naturally Galen, the knight of justice who has recently been in the limelight in Alabasta, and whose reputation far surpasses that of Crocodile.

And Weiwei has recently changed her habit of living in seclusion, and has been frequently appearing in various public welfare activities hand in hand with Galen.

Relying on newspaper propaganda, noble status and sweet appearance, Weiwei has changed from a princess raised in a boudoir to an idol known and admired by all the people.

"Who are these dancing fans?"

As soon as she appeared in front of the public, Weiwei immediately asked about the origin of these contraband.

"Yes, it belongs to King Cobra."

The arranged actors took the lines.

"What?"

Weiwei showed another look of disbelief:

"How is this possible! How could my royal father do such a thing?"

Just the tangled and painful expression on her face is enough to arouse the sympathy and pity of the people.

In front of this Princess Weiwei, who is absolutely popular in the country and whose appearance is so weak that people feel distressed, none of the people can show the violent emotions when they denounced the king before.

"Everyone."

After Weiwei's painful performance, the expression between her brows gradually became resolute again.

Under the guard of Galen, she stood on a high place and said to the people:

"Please rest assured!"

"I am the princess of Alabasta, and I must not turn a blind eye to this!"

"Even if the main messenger behind it is my father, I will definitely seek an explanation for everyone!"

The people were slightly taken aback, and immediately cheered for the righteous speech of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

There was a wave of hope in everyone's heart:

Even if King Cobra's reputation is not good, Princess Vivi, who bravely stood up for the people, is definitely a lotus flower that emerges from the mud and is a kind princess worthy of everyone's trust.

This is what Galen came up with:

Crocodile has not yet torn his face and blatantly stolen the country, and he has not left a shred of evidence in the Baroque Works, so it is difficult to pin the blame on him, the real conspirator.

So simply let King Cobra, whose reputation has been ruined, sacrifice himself to take the blame, and then create another "virtuous king" Princess Vivi to restore the credibility of the royal family.

So, the next day Crocodile learned an unheard of new vocabulary from the newspaper:

"Princess Weiwei pleads for the people's orders and bluntly admonishes the people, and King Cobra issues a 'crime order' to sincerely apologize"
