Chapter 246: Alabasta Pirate Rebellion
Alabasta, the most famous country in the first half of the Grand Line.
The place where the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Carnpent, resides is almost the richest country outside the Holy Land of Mariacho, and it is also one of the few safe places in the world; everyone in Alabasta knows that their patron saint, Carnpent, hates pirates very much, and has a team of special ability users to deal with pirates.
Thanks to these people, even several nearby countries have become much safer. After learning about this, the nearby countries are very envious of Alabasta.
The citizens living here are definitely the richest civilians in the first half of the Grand Line, because they have benefited from the Carn Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, in two years, Alabasta has changed dramatically.
It used to be the famous country of sand, but now 60% of the country has become an oasis, and there are wide roads between several major cities, and even two bridges of more than 20 meters wide have been built between the Santa Dora River.
In the battle of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce captured thousands of pirates. Although the strong ones among them were taken away by the Kahn Chamber of Commerce, the remaining pirates were not weak either. After being handcuffed and shackled, they dug the ground, planted trees, built roads, and built bridges, etc. They did a lot.
And they only needed to give them one bite of food every day. If they were only four-tenths full, they would not die from hard labor. If they died, they would be exchanged for bounties to recover their blood. However, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce did this for half a year, and finally the branch navy near Alabasta could not stand it anymore . They came to record all the pirates in Alabasta and then changed them to slaves
. There are more than 6,000 pirates in Alabasta, and there are 5,000 people in the Creek Pirates alone. If they all come here to exchange their bodies for money in the end, the Navy Headquarters will feel distressed.
After the Navy did not recognize the identities of these pirates, the Kahn Chamber of Commerce reluctantly increased the food of these people a little, from four-tenths full to six-tenths full, but even so, some pirates still died.
But these people have no value after death. Without Kahn, there is no one in charge of the experiment.
"That Ajin just now is really a good person. And Vivi, Nami, when are we going to find Vivi, she still owes me a meal."
When Luffy talked about the meal, his mouth was full of saliva, and his eyes turned into the appearance of barbecue.
However, Nami punched Luffy to the ground with one fist, and pulled Luffy's rubber face with an angry look: "Idiot, you just did that kind of thing, and you dare to find Vivi, she is the princess of this country, and she specializes in catching pirates!"
"Well, four blades of Vivi..."
Luffy's mouth was stretched long, but he still said this sentence with difficulty; good people will keep their words, so there will definitely be that meal.
As for releasing Ajin just now, Luffy felt that there was no problem. That Ajin was also a good person. When they just came here, he told them a lot of things to pay attention to, and he didn't want their meat.
Zoro helplessly knocked Luffy's head with his knife, "Luffy, you are messing around in Vivi's country. We may have been wanted by now. How can we have time to find Vivi for dinner?"
Even he knew how serious the consequences of releasing the pirate named Jin would be, but Zoro saw that Luffy was serious at the time. Since it was the captain's decision, he did not stop him.
"What? You bastard, it's all your fault that I can't see Vivi!"
After hearing this, Sanji was furious and pulled Luffy over and shook him hard. Such a beautiful and heroic sister Vivi came to Alabasta but couldn't see her. Sanji felt his heart bleeding.
Dong, Dong.
Nami punched everyone angrily and warned, "Behave yourself now. You know, we may have been wanted..."
"Mom, Nami, don't worry so much."
Usopp looked relaxed and complacent, with his nose raised high, and said, "When Luffy let go of that Ajin, I was observing with the eyes of a sniper. No one around saw Luffy's behavior. Maybe Alabasta hasn't discovered it yet.
We can go east without worry. Nami, the super long-range sniper rifle you promised me before is here."
Nami laughed easily after hearing this, "Really? Then I'm relieved."
Before Nami could finish, a team of Alabasta guards suddenly ran over and said as they hurried, "Hey, why did you suddenly issue a call?"
"Don't mention it. There was a bastard in a straw hat who let a pirate slave go, and then that slave let many people go. Maybe all the slaves were released!"
An uninformed guard soldier cursed angrily, "Which bastard is it? He is so bold that he even dares to release Lord Pent's slaves?"
"The man with the straw hat, three knives, a long nose and a woman." The voice was getting farther and farther away. Nami, who turned her back and covered her back with gauze, almost burst into tears. Didn't the other party see everything?
Boom!
Usopp and Luffy were punched twice more, one for bragging and the other for being too close.
"Listen, let's let Sanji and Chopper go to replenish the food now, and then leave here quickly. If we stay any longer, we might all be caught..."
After hearing what Nami said, Zoro turned his head and said to Sanji: "Hey, cook, buy more wine!"
"Oh, three knives, I only buy cooking wine!"
Zoro and Sanji looked at each other coldly, their faces almost touching.
"What did you say? Don't you know that wine is the life of a swordsman!"
"Cooking wine is also the life of a chef. Do you want to eat substandard food?"
Boom!
The One Piece punched Zoro and Sanji twice again, leaving a big bump on their heads. "It's already this late, and you're still arguing!"
However, through the conversation just now, Nami and the others also knew that their situation was very difficult. Now, let alone the meal that Vivi promised, they even had to stay away from each other, because their stupid captain made such a big mistake as soon as he came here.
Alabasta is a very tolerant country, but because of the incident with Crocodile and Doflamingo two years ago, Alabasta has no good feelings towards pirates.
Luffy, Nami and the others still have to hold the pass given to them by Vivi to dock near the port.
They could have stayed in Alabasta for a while longer, but now they can only replenish supplies and leave in disgrace. Fortunately, the person just now did not mention Sanji and Chopper, otherwise it would be a bit difficult for them to buy things.
"Pirate riot? How did they get rid of the handcuffs and leg irons?"
Cobra asked hurriedly after hearing the news, but he was not too worried about the civilians, because two years ago, he dispersed 600,000 national standing troops to various cities at Kahn's suggestion, and most of them are now equipped with new firearms.
Except for Rainy City, there is no standing army stationed there, because it is the headquarters of Kahn Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce has its own armed forces.
Cobra is just a little worried that those stupid pirate slaves will impact the business environment of Rainy City, so that he will have nothing to explain when Mr. Kahn comes back.
Igram reported the news he heard and also said the culprit who released the pirates.
"What? Igram, you said that the one who released the pirates was the one wearing a straw hat? Is it this guy?"
Vivi, who was standing by, was shocked when she heard what Igram said, and then took out the Luffy wanted poster she had taken before and showed it to Igram.
Vivi has been saving money for the past two years, and her way of saving money is to catch pirates. However, influenced by Kahn, Vivi is used to investigating before arresting people. When she met Luffy and his group in the Drum Kingdom, she had a fight. She couldn't do anything to the other group, but thanks to the new energy fighter, Luffy couldn't do anything to her.
After the fight, Vivi also received intelligence about the Straw Hat Pirates from the Intelligence Department of Kahn's Chamber of Commerce. She was sure that they had no crime and were good people, so she gave them a pass to Alabasta.
But I didn't expect Luffy and his group to destroy the peace of Alabasta!
"Princess Vivi, I'm not sure either. The Kahn Chamber of Commerce hasn't sent any photos yet."
Igram had just said this when a guard soldier ran in from outside, holding the surveillance photos from that time and reporting to the people in the palace: "Your Majesty, this is the Straw Hat photo sent by the Kahn Chamber of Commerce."
Before the guard soldier finished speaking, the photo in his hand was snatched away by Vivi. After seeing that it was really them, Vivi bit her lip in anger and said, "It's really you, Straw Hat bastards! !
Father, let me take care of this matter."
Vivi said loudly, and then ran out of the palace; if she catches all of this group of people, she can save enough money to upgrade her armor, and then she can go to the New World to catch pirates.
The third update, I'm very sorry for being so late, I was too hungry and had a midnight snack.
