Chapter 306 The Stage Is Ready and the Actors Are in Place

The people of Alabasta cherish water more than anywhere else.

Every time it rains, it’s a carnival for Alabasta.

But this time, both the rebel army and the royal army felt the rain falling from the sky, but they felt at a loss.

They were finally able to distract themselves from looking at the girl standing on the high platform of the palace and listen to each other's voice.

"it's over?"

No one laid down his weapons.

"Don't be ridiculous! This is Albana, who knows if it's rain caused by burning dancing powder again!"

One of the rebels shouted with hatred:

"Who wants this fake rain!"

"Those who have fallen due to drought, those who have fallen in this war, can they just laugh it off just because the sentence is over!"

"This country is hopeless!"

Listening to the shouts full of hatred below, as well as the royal army and the rebel army starting to become at war with each other again, Weiwei shouted anxiously:

"Not fake rain!"

"The rain that falls now will fall again just like before!"

"Because, because I have found the torch of this country, he will bring light to everyone!"

The rebels shouted: "How do you expect us to believe you? Do you think we will forget what the king has done?"

"King -" Weiwei felt pain in her heart, she covered her heart and said: "My father, Nefertari Kobra, like all of you, loves this country deeply!"

"I believe that you will not forget those peaceful and beautiful times in the long days - but everything changed because there was no rain in this country three years ago."

"The king sympathizes with your doubts, your despair, and your pain! How could someone like him use dancing fans to hurt this country and you?"

"All this is a conspiracy!"

Weiwei clenched her fists and shouted: "The King's Shichibukai who came to Alabasta three years ago, Crocodile's conspiracy!"

There was an uproar in the square.

"How can it be--"

"It must be a lie!"

"Mr. Crocodile is the patron saint of Alabasta. In the past three years, how many times has he helped Alabasta repel pirate attacks? How many people's lives have been protected in the rainland where he is?"

"That's ridiculous. Are you still trying to deceive us with lies? Princess Weiwei, you just want to inherit the rights of this country. What is the difference between what you are doing now and your father?"

Crocodile's reputation in this country is too strong, especially during the special period of these three years. In the hearts of many people, his status even surpasses that of the king.

Crocodile, who was sitting on the eaves, showed a smile. It seemed that his management in the past few years had been quite effective, but when he thought of the plot that was going to happen next, the corners of his mouth dropped again.

"If it can make this country better, what does it matter who holds the so-called power?" Weiwei shouted: "I can guarantee that everything I say is not a lie!"

"Those deliberately destroyed waterways, those sandstorms that are always heading towards Yuba, and the sudden spread of rumors about dancing fans. When the rumors were at their peak, dancing fans were suddenly discovered coincidentally in the port. In all of this, don’t you have a trace of doubt in your hearts?”

Weiwei spoke very fast, and her emotions became stronger with each sentence, until finally, she shouted loudly:

"The cause of all this tragedy is not nature at all, but what Crocodile did. He took away Alabasta's rain. He used his power to turn the oasis into a desert. He tried to subvert this country to achieve his own despicableness. Purpose!"

"He is everyone's enemy!"

Everyone in the square began to hesitate.

But how can empty words eliminate deep-rooted hatred?

"Where's the evidence?"

Someone shouted: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

Weiwei was startled.

How could there be evidence? Even in the Baroque Working Society, there are only a handful of people who know that the president of the working society is Crocodile.

This person is too cautious.

"Please believe me!" Weiwei could only shout: "No matter what, I hope everyone will evacuate the square first. Crocodile has placed a bomb in the square, and there will be an explosion here soon!"

"Bomb?" There was a brief panic among the crowd.

"This must be the reason why she deceived us into retreating!" Some rebels shouted: "We can capture the palace soon! How can we leave at this time!"

"The palace or something like that - is not important in front of everyone's lives!" Weiwei gritted her teeth and shouted: "All the royal troops, please evacuate first. If everyone in the rebel army doesn't believe me, then come in Come to the palace.”

"Anyway, don't stay in the square anymore!"

The royal army hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in Weiwei, they all began to slowly evacuate. The rebels were stunned for a moment. Except for some die-hards, others also began to evacuate outside the square in doubt.

The situation began to turn for the better.

"It's so strenuous."

Crocodile stood up.

"Obviously we have set up such a good stage, but it still took so long to barely convince these idiots."

"If it weren't for acting, these idiots would have been wiped out long ago."

"It's time to play."

He raised his hand, and yellow sand rolled up around the square.

"A sandstorm?"

"Why is there a sudden sandstorm in this direction? This is inside a town!"

"I have it here too!"

"Be careful, Albana is on a rocky hill, tens of meters high from the desert below. If you are swept away by a sandstorm, you will definitely fall to death."

People who wanted to exit the square were immediately forced back by a sudden sandstorm.

Then, they heard another voice coming from the loudspeaker.

"I really didn't expect that you guys could actually come this far."

"Unfortunately, it's too late."

On the high platform of the palace, Crocodile's figure emerged from the yellow sand. With a flick of his hand, Luffy's body was thrown in front of the Straw Hats.

"Luffy!"

Everyone was shocked.

"To do such a thing to Luffy——"

Zoro slowly tied up his turban: "I will never forgive you!"

"Itto-ryu·Shishigege!"

The long knife split the rain curtain into two.

Crocodile narrowed his eyes, raised his left hand, and slashed with his hand.

Ding.

The blade was split into two, and Sauron hurriedly dodged, but his chest was still cut with a deep scar visible to the bone.

"Vulnerable."

He took a puff of his cigar and commented: "The Straw Hat boy was able to delay me for so long, which is beyond my expectation."

"But, in the final analysis, you are just making some meaningless struggles."

Weiwei's body trembled and she shouted: "Krokdal, your conspiracy has been exposed, and your plan in this country has failed!"

"What are you talking about?" Crocodile showed a mocking expression: "Princess Weiwei, why are you still so naive until now?"

"Yes, I caused the civil war in this country. Whether it was drought, sandstorms, or the king's death, it was all my plan."

"The purpose is to seize this country."
