Chapter 167 The End of Alabasta! (Update, My Friends!)

Therefore, Xiao plans to try it himself to see if he can find a way to integrate the two.

If this move is successful, then Xiao will not only gain the ability to absorb the energy of stars, but also achieve energy expansion with the help of this special matrix.

In other words, the most powerful part of the solar sail energy matrix is ​​that it only needs to expend one amount of energy to explode hundreds of times of power.

…

…

While Xiao was concentrating on retreating to develop and update the foundation-building realm, the Straw Hats in Alabasta experienced many hardships and finally reached the royal capital of Arupana.

And launched a fierce battle with the Baroque Working Society led by Crocodile. The process will not be described in detail.

Luffy, who originally had no chance of winning, gave up his strongest fruit ability and chose to compete with Luffy in martial arts due to Crocodile's manipulation.

The result was that Crocodile was beaten so hard by Luffy that he lost consciousness and passed out completely.

Luffy defeated the arrogant Crocodile, and the Straw Hats successfully completed their rescue of Alabasta.

However, Crocodile's defeat did not slow down the progress of the rebels, and they did not even need provocation from the traitors hidden in the royal army. The rebels' determination to overthrow the royal rule did not waver at all.

This firm belief is unprecedented, and as the distance between them and the royal capital shrinks, the resistance becomes more and more convinced that Alabasta will become better without the king.

What's more, the development of the revolution has already become unstoppable.

Is it possible that just a few impassioned declarations, claiming that they have defeated the masterminds behind the scenes and that they no longer have to worry about water shortages, can make people willingly give up the struggle and return home?

The answer is obviously no.

When the number of rebels reached two million, their target was no longer in sight.

What they want now is all of Alabasta, they want to take the power away from the Crown,

Princess Weiwei watched the fierce fighting between the enemy and ourselves, her heart filled with endless pain and helplessness.

These people are all citizens of Alabasta, but now they are forced into the tragic situation of killing each other.

Weiwei, who has received "people-oriented" education since childhood, feels extremely tortured at this moment, but there is nothing she can do. She could only kneel on the battlefield, crying helplessly.

Perhaps after hearing Weiwei's cry, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just defeated Baroque Works and were covered in scars, began to sit up and recover their blood.

When all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates rushed to Vivi's side dragging their broken bodies and stood firmly in the center of the battlefield.

An invisible pressure suddenly came and quickly separated the two sides who were fighting fiercely.

"Stop it, everyone! Don't fight anymore. Crocodile has been defeated and the water source will be returned to everyone!"

Weiwei burst into tears and shouted to the rebels at the top of her lungs, trying to explain the current situation.

"If there are still guys who haven't had enough trouble, come on, let us be your opponents!!"

At this moment, Luffy also stepped forward at the right time. His words revealed such incomparable majesty and domineering that it actually made both armies feel timid. For a moment, no one dared to take even half a step forward easily.

After all, the rebels had witnessed Crocodile's strength with their own eyes, but the real strength of the man who defeated Crocodile in front of them was really elusive to them.

Therefore, in the face of the obstruction of the Straw Hat Pirates, the resistance finally wisely chose to avoid the edge rather than confront them head-on.

Since Luffy longed for everyone to coexist peacefully, the resistance army did what he wished and gave him the peace he desired.

Anyway, the Straw Hats and the others cannot stay in Alabasta forever. As long as they wait for a while, Alabasta will naturally be back under their control after they leave.

As a result, not only did not one of the millions of rebels leave, they even wandered around the royal capital all day long. Instead, they spent the whole day arranging their troops and looking for a suitable location to attack.

As for the so-called orders from the Royal Army, such as requiring them to hand over their weapons and disband on the spot, these were all ignored.

If the Royal Army dared to use forceful measures to drive them away, they would immediately bite back and cry to the Straw Hat Boy.

"Hey, you told us not to resist before! But now the Royal Army is still attacking us. Why is this?

Woo hoo hoo, we already long for peace so much, but why are the Royal Army still pushing each other so hard?

Why are the city gates closed to prevent us from entering?

We just want to drink water. Is it wrong to do so?

In fact, we were also deceived by Crocodile before we rebelled... Do we have to kill them all? "

In front of this superb display of tea art by the rebels, Luffy was completely disoriented and fell into deep confusion and confusion.

Luffy felt as if he was in a fog, at a loss, and didn't know how to deal with what was happening in front of him.

On one side is his best friend Weiwei, and on the other side are the rebels who followed his orders and stopped resisting, but were brutally suppressed. Luffy was in a dilemma at this time, and he really didn't know how to choose.

After all, he had never experienced anything so complicated before.

He is just a pirate. A wild boy who has never gone to school and has been around wild beasts and bandits since he was a child. How can he be expected to take charge of the overall situation?

According to common sense, since Luffy has defeated Crocodile and returned the water source to the city, the conflict between the two sides should be resolved, and everyone should let go of their past grudges!

But why is the hostility between the two sides not only not reduced, but has intensified?

This is completely different from the difficult problems that have been solved in the past.

Luffy, who has been thinking hard but to no avail, finally chose to give up thinking and escape from reality.

Just at this time, news came from Nami: the magnetic recording work of Alabasta has been completed.

So, Luffy immediately issued an order to set sail.

Originally, Cobra hoped that Vivi could leave with the Straw Hat Pirates.

Because he has deeply experienced the rock-hard faith of the rebels, and at the same time clearly realized that the Nafit royal family's rule over Alabasta may really come to an end in his hands.

Therefore, he made up his mind to entrust Vivi to Luffy and his party.

He firmly believed that as long as Luffy and his companions were by her side, Vivi would be able to leave this country safely and live a happy and carefree life.

However, although Vivi verbally agreed, she did not actually board the ship and leave. Instead, she stood alone on the shore and waved goodbye to the Straw Hat Pirates.
