Outside the rain dinner, Cobra's expression was very complicated.
After hearing Yami's simple narration, his fists were tightly clenched, his face was livid, and he was gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow Crocodile alive.
"Damn Crocodile, how dare he do such a thing!"
"Hehe, why wouldn't he dare?"
Hearing Cobra's incompetence rage, Yami sneered suddenly, "He is a Shichibukai, the plundering is recognized by the World Government, and he also has the status of a national hero on the surface. The most important thing is that he can take the entire Alabasta if destroyed, what's wrong with doing something like that?"
"Unfortunately for him we came early and got rid of him. If it takes a few more years for the dancing powder to fully play its role, I'm afraid that the whole of Alabasta will turn into a desert, and ordinary people with nowhere to go. As long as they are instigated by someone with a plan, they will unite and start rebelling."
"At that time, how many years can you be king?"
The cold words made Cobra's back feel chilly, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
Just thinking about that scene makes him shudder.
"I didn't expect Crocodile to be so daring, and even I was deceived by him. I, the king, have really failed in my duty. If I had discovered his conspiracy earlier and with the help of the world government, perhaps Alabasta would not have become what it looks like now."
"Thank you so much. If you hadn't killed Crocodile, everyone would still be kept in the dark. Please forgive my previous disrespect."
Cobra bowed to thank him from the bottom of his heart, with a very sincere attitude.
Although this guy is not qualified as a king, he still has nothing to say in terms of receiving people and things, and treating the people of his country.
However, Yami doesn't like his weak character.
"Don't give us a high hat. Why did I kill Crocodile? It's entirely because of my own reasons. It has nothing to do with Alabasta. I don't need your thanks. If there is nothing else, we will leave now."
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Yami was about to walk forward, Cobra quickly stretched out his hands to stop them.
"Please, strong ones, for the sake of ordinary people in Alabasta, clear the sky of dancing fans. In exchange, I am willing to agree to any conditions!"
"Oh? Are you willing to agree to any conditions?"
Hearing these words, Yami's eyes lit up instantly.
Seemingly aware of something wrong, Cobra felt a little dizzy from this stare, but he still nodded lightly and said: "As long as it doesn't endanger my country and my people, even if it is for treasure, I will try my best to put it all together."
"Whoever wants your treasure, everyone knows that Alabasta's oil and water have been squeezed out by Crocodile."
The dismissive belittling words made Cobra smile awkwardly.
"Sir, what do you need?"
"I don't need anything. As the king, you just need to announce Crocodile's crimes, and then credit the Lord God of my familia for the credit."
Having said that, Yami quickly steps aside, revealing the goddess of Hephaestus behind him.
"By the way, let me introduce you solemnly. This is my Lord God, Hephaestus-sama. She is a real god, just like the god in your impression, the god of fire and craftsmen. I need you to spread Hephaestus-sama name and let the whole of Alabasta believe in her, this is my condition.
After finishing speaking, Yami winked at his goddess calmly.
The red-haired goddess glared at him unhappily, but she still cooperated to reveal her divine power. The invisible thought that made people feel surrendered suddenly made Cobra's eyes widen.
Issho also showed the same expression.
This is the god, and the gap in life level makes it difficult for human beings to resist.
Even Yami, who has long been used to it, couldn't help but raise his brows at this time, completely unable to give birth to the idea of attacking the gods.
It is too foul to wear down the will subtly.
"God.....Oh my God..." Cobra trembled slightly, then realized his gaffe, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, lowered his head, not daring to look at Hephaestus in front of him.
"Get up!"
The voice of the red-haired goddess was very cold, completely revealing the posture of a god.
As the saying goes, God loves the world. In fact, this is just the biggest lie. Gods will only favor their favorite children. Most of the time, gods hate humans.
After the lower realm, the gods have gradually been subtly changed, and they will be more tolerant of human desires.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Cobra, who was about to be amnesty, hurriedly stood up, but his eyes still fell on the ground, not daring to go beyond the slightest, his forehead was almost covered with sweat.
"So, are you willing to agree to this condition? Cobra."
"Of course, it is an honor for the whole of Alabasta to believe in a true god!"
Hearing the question again, Cobra responded almost without hesitation.
Although Cobra is too weak, but as a king, he knows what an opportunity is. It is a great opportunity to believe in a true god, spread her belief, and obtain her blessing. If he misses it, he will not forgive himself.
"A very wise decision, you will be grateful for today's decision in the future, Issho-san, can I trouble you to get rid of the dancing powder in the sky, please."
"Of course. I have just joined the family, so it would be great if I can contribute a little bit."
Issho didn't refuse, but accepted the task very happily.
In fact, after hearing the truth about Alabasta from Yami, this righteous uncle hated Crocodile deeply.
Even if Yami didn't ask him, he would have done it.
"Then thank you for your hard work."
It is really a very comfortable thing to have such a sensible companion.
What's more, he is not particularly quick to deal with the dancing powder in the sky. On the contrary, for Issho who has the fruit of gravity, he is often more good at dealing with such things.
"There's one more thing, Cobra, that you may need to do."
"I will follow your orders!"
After learning the identity of Hephaestus, Cobra kept his posture very low, and did not regard himself as a king at all.
"For some reason, I will conflict with the world government, but don't worry, I don't need Alabasta to intervene. Although this country has a large number of troops, most of them are ordinary people. There is no ability to resist in front of the strong."
"It is very likely that I will change the dominance of the world government, but it is obviously irresponsible to change the world structure and leave the mess behind. At least not because of the fall of the world government, let a large number of innocent civilians suffer from pirate invasion, so during this period of time, the task of strictly training soldiers to stabilize the stability of the ten directions may fall on your head."
"Another point, you can also contact peace-loving and closely related countries and let them start training soldiers. It will definitely be beneficial then, do you understand what I mean?"
"Ah?"
Cobra said he didn't understand.
His mind is a little dizzy now.
God knows what he heard. Someone actually said that he wanted to overthrow the world government in front of him, the king of the world government alliance country. This joke is too bizarre to be true.
However, when he thought of the identity of the red haired goddess, he took it for granted.
No matter how powerful the world government is, it will definitely not have the power to oppose the gods!
Although Cobra has never seen the true power of the gods, he firmly believes in this idea.
"Any questions?"
Seeing Cobra's eyes glaze over, Yami frowned slightly.
I always feel that the so-called king of Alabasta in front of him seems a bit unintelligent. Can this kind of person actually become a king and manage such a big country well?
"No, there is no problem at all. I will let the people below train well. Don't worry, little brother."
The extremely firm tone surprised Yami.
Originally, he thought that Cobra would give a little thought to the Alabasta nationals' issues, and even hesitated to refuse, maybe he would secretly report this matter to the World Government, but he didn't expect that the other party actually agreed so easily.
For a while, Yami couldn't come back to his senses.
He also prepared a lot of threatening words, which turned out to be completely useless.
"If it's about training soldiers, I can do my bit. I can also help King Cobra solve some big problems. I can stay in Alabasta for a while longer, but it's a pity that I will not be able to walk with Hephaestus-sama and you little brothers."
Issho's words suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Yami didn't think of this, but with Issho's very insistent attitude, he finally agreed to such a proposal.
After all, with his current strength, where can he go unhindered?
On the contrary, if Issho follows them, it will affect the time when his strength reaches its peak, so it is better for him to stay in Alabasta and do what he wants to do.
This is also what he said before, that he will not prevent the members of the family from doing what they want.
Therefore, after unanimous approval, Issho finally decided to stay in Alabasta, wanting to change the world. Compared with the power of an individual, the power of a country is obviously more influential.
Goddess Hephaestus naturally did not forget to help him portray the grace of God.

A very simple panel
Even the Gravity Fruit has been turned into magic, but no matter its strengths or weaknesses are preserved, no one dares to underestimate Issho strength.
As we all know, when an adventurer is given a favor, the initial level is one, and the ability value is also zero.
However, they still have the power they had before becoming adventurers, so the strength of an adventurer can't just depend on the level of the adventurer, other factors are equally important.
If you only believe what your eyes see, you will definitely suffer in the course of the battle.
So far, Issho has officially become a member of the Hephaestus family.
After doing all this, Goddess Hephaestus refused Cobra's hospitality. If it was her own children, she might still like to stay with them, but if it was just a group of people without any connection, then there is no need for her to stay.
Therefore, after a brief farewell, Yami left the rain dinner with Hephaestus and Kuina.
Just like when they came here before, everyone flew back to the port city of Rapeseed Flower.
Their ship is still there, which is undoubtedly good news. After some replenishment, the ship quickly left the dock and headed for the depths of the sea.
Their journey has just begun, and it cannot be stopped yet.
Although the battle with Issho has some insights, it is still far from enough. Whether it is the way of swordsmanship or the accumulation of great achievements, it is still slightly insufficient.
He still needs more intense fighting.
"Hephaestus-sama, maybe we have to speed up this time."
On the deck, Yami's words were very plain, but Hephaestus still heard the faint fluctuations from his tone, and also understood the deep meaning of the other party's heart.
She smiled calmly and nodded in response: "No problem, just do what you want."
After getting permission from his red-haired goddess, Yami naturally didn't hesitate.
The sacred text worked again, the sails were agitated, and the ship sailed towards the distance again at an uncontrollable speed, bringing a terrifying gust of wind to the passing ships.
No one could see what was going on, only that something rushed over suddenly.
After that, more and more sailors encountered this situation, and almost no one successfully understood the specific situation. After word of mouth, things became more and more mysterious.
In people's mouths, an invisible sea beast has already appeared at this time.
Its speed is so fast that you can't see its figure clearly at all. Every time it appears, it always makes a lot of waves, but it has no tendency to attack humans.
Many daring pirates formed a group to capture this so-called 'sea beast', but they failed every time. Gradually, this incident became a legend in the sea.
But as the instigator, he knew nothing about it.
Navy Headquarters, Marine Ford.
At the highest point of the office building, in the office of the Marshal of the Navy.
At this time, almost all the top navy admirals are here, besides the three navy admirals who symbolize force, there are also two old buddies of the Marshal, the "Navy Hero" Monkey D. Garp, and "Navy Great Staff Officer" Tsuru, this kind of lineup gathered together, obviously something big happened.
"Since everyone is here, I'll make a long story short."
Sengoku sat behind the office desk, counting the papers on the table with his fingers, the first page was a drawing portrait of Yami, and it was a picture of him sinking Nezumi and his party.
No one knows where the Navy got the news, but they did know about it.
"Sengoku, why are you calling everyone in such a hurry?"
Garp ate the donut with a calm face, and from time to time he picked his nostrils with the hand that grabbed the donut, with an expression of indifference, but that disgusting movement was unacceptable.
Sengoku, who was planning to tell the whole story, suddenly felt his veins bulge.
"Garp, stop eating, we're in a meeting!"
"What's the matter? Anyway, it's not an important thing to think about. By the way, do you want donuts?"
While speaking, Garp took out a donut from the bag and handed it to the others around him. It was the hand that had picked his nostril.
"No, Garp-san, you'd better enjoy it yourself."
Kizaru quickly waved his hand, his expression twitched slightly, matching his wretched appearance, he looked even uglier at this time.
"Really?"
Boom!
"Garp!!!"
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Sengoku became even more angry, and slammed the table, making a loud noise.
