Usopp stared at the front of Luffy's fishing rod line, the white gloves that were tied.

"Ah, I just asked Link for it. It seems to be the best fishing rod. It is easier to catch fish than the [Effortless Fishing Rod]." Luffy grinned and mentioned Picked up the fishing rod in his hand.

"Listen to Link, this is called [Automatic Fishing Rod]."

Props: [Automatic Fishing Rod].

Introduction: Throw it in your hand, the white glove at the front of the fishing rod will automatically find the target in the water, and after locking the target, it will grab the target and bring it to the shore.

This [Automatic Fishing Rod] and [Effortless Fishing Rod] are completely two extremes.

The former is that you don't need to go fishing at all, just wait for the white gloves to grab the fish, and then pull the fishing rod up by yourself.

No fishing but it takes effort to pull the rod.

The latter is the front end of the sucker class waiting for the fish to be hooked in the sea, unable to take the initiative to catch the fish, but after catching them, they can catch them without any effort.

All in all, there are pros and cons~

"So there is absolutely no need to use bait."

As Luffy said that, he swallowed the last bite of the small bait hidden under his tongue, and glanced at Usopp's bait with some lingering thoughts.

wow wow wow~

Suddenly, the fishing rod in Luffy's hand shook.

In the blink of an eye, a huge grouper was caught by white gloves and caught.

"It can still be like this..."

Usopp smacked his mouth and glanced at the fishing rod in Luffy's hand with some envy.

"There are really all kinds of props in Link's hands, even fishing rods, there are all kinds of props..."

As soon as Usopp finished speaking, he saw the fishing rod in Luffy's hand, shaking violently again.

"Tai Erlian? This is so powerful!!"

Luffy didn't pay attention, and was almost thrown into the sea with him.

"This looks like a big fish!!"

Luffy firmly grasped the fishing rod with one hand and pressed the straw hat with the other.

"It looks like a big fish, let's help you!!"

Seeing that there was a new prey, Usopp also left those other emotions behind, and surrounded Luffy with Chopper.

"Work hard!!"

Usopp hugged Luffy, and Chopper, who was transformed into a tall standing man, hugged Usopp, and the three of them worked hard together.

They all blushed and their necks were thick, and there were a lot of blue veins on their arms.

However, with the strength of the three people, the huge fish hidden under the sea was finally unable to resist and was dragged out.

A huge black shadow crossed the sea.

"feed?!!"

A high-pitched cat meow resounded throughout the sea.

"This is... a cat?!!"

Luffy, Usopp Chopper and the other three looked at the sea king-like creature with a raised hand, like a beckoning cat, all white and fat, with cat pupils standing upright.

The white glove at the front of Luffy's fishing rod was catching on the claws of this sea king cat.

A group of people could not help but open their mouths there, feeling the sincere novelty of this creature.

"This is our Alabasta mascot called Sea Cat 〃II!"

Weiwei hurried over and asked Luffy to put away the fishing rod.

The sea cat fled in panic and was suddenly caught, making it not too scary for this group of people.

It feels like if you stay for a while, it may become a cat row.

Seeing the sea cat escape, Luffy was quite reluctant, but thinking that he still had Feng Clay, he happily hugged the glass fish tank and went with Xiao Feng chatting.

"Seeing the sea cat means that we have entered the waters of Alabasta and are not far from the coast."

With Weiwei's accurate words, everyone's hearts were lifted.

Is the final destination finally reached?

Just as the Straw Hat Pirates were slowly approaching Alabasta.

Another direction, also heading towards a certain sea area of ​​Alabasta.

A warship with a seagull flag flying on the mast is breaking the waves.

"Straw Hat Pirates, Item Master..."

At the front of the deck, a tall, silver-haired man with a ferocious face and deep eyes was holding three cigars in his mouth, and his tone was heavy.

Recalling the humiliation of being trapped in a small bottle that day, Smoker, who had deep impressions and unforgettable memories, could not help clenching his fists.

"Did you go to Alabasta? Then there, let's settle it!!"

Smokey looked deep into the sea ahead.

"But Colonel Smoker..."

Dasqi, the cute girl wearing black-rimmed glasses next to her, was a little hesitant:

"Alabasta is a member country of the World Government, and it is also a rare power in the world, and there is also Crocodile, who is the king of the Seven Wuhai Seas. We didn't have any orders and we didn't say hello to each other, just so recklessly. Come close, will you…”

Dusky couldn't go on talking, because she saw Smog's death stare looking over faintly.

"Alabasta is now overwhelmed by many rebellions within the country. As for Crocodile, there is only one Qiwuhai, and our navy's actions have not yet been reported to Qiwuhai!!"

Smog was serious about not dealing with these Qibukai, and he had known Crocodile before, so he didn't want to kill him.

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Dusky could only obey the order silently.

The warship slowly moved towards Alabasta.

On the other side, on the sea, a small boat was also driving along.

On the boat, there was a man with a red fruit on his upper body, wearing only a pair of black shorts, and some freckles on his face.

He was sitting there with a grilled fish in his hand, and he had already brought the food to his mouth, but his mouth was wide open and there were bubbles from his nostrils.

"Hu? Huhu?"

A series of grunts came out of his mouth.

Judging from the appearance, it should be eating and eating, and fell asleep there.

Snapped!

The bubble burst suddenly, and the freckled man's eyes also opened.

"Ah, are you asleep again?!"

He rubbed his timid eyes, then raised his arms lazily and pressed the cowboy hat on his forehead.

On the front of the hat, the blue circular crying and smiling face logo looks so special in the sun.

"Is it almost there, Alabasta?"

The freckled-faced man opened his mouth to bite the grilled fish, and found that he was already cold when he fell asleep.

A flame instantly rose from his fingers, wrapping the grilled fish again.

"I wonder if Luffy and the others will go there too... Haven't seen him for several years? I'm really looking forward to it. I seem to have remembered something, and the corner of the freckled-faced man's mouth raised an optimistic and warm smile.

The boat underfoot is also slow, heading in the direction of Alabasta.

"You mean hero?!!"

Nami confirmed that she heard correctly, and looked at Weiwei with a surprised expression.

"Crocodahl is your hero of Alabasta?"

Approaching Alabasta, no matter how the group despised Crocodile strategically, they still had to give the most basic respect to the big pirate in tactics.

Anyway, the other party is also a member of the Seven Wuhai under the king.

After asking Vivi for specific information about Crocodile, the result was quite surprising to everyone.

"King Xia Qiwuhai is actually the seven big pirates selected from the navy by the world government in order to increase its deterrence and consolidate its rule."

"In other words, these seven big pirates are considered to be recognized by the world government, and with the world government to endorse, then the people will naturally believe a little." Rather than saying that the people believe that pirates become heroes, it is better to say that they are Believe that people recognized by the world government become heroes.

Simple pirates and Shichibukai are actually different.

Qiwuhai seems to be on the planet of Link's previous life, in a certain big counselor, those green forest heroes who were recruited by the imperial court became Jiedushi.

They all rely on their own strong soldiers and horses, or strong strength, in exchange for recruiting security and official status.

However, no matter how you say it, it can't change the basic fact that they are essentially pirates.

and……

"Even if he behaves with a sense of justice, it's only been less than four years, right?"

Suddenly, the eyes of Usopp who had been listening beside him were slightly subtle,

"A group of citizens would rather believe in a pirate who has been with them for less than four years, but they just don't want to believe in the Alabasta royal family who has treated them kindly for decades or even hundreds of years...

"Are these people so stupid?"

The little Chopper next to him also blurted out his doubts.

Indeed, according to the thinking of normal people, pirates become partners of justice. Isn't this a very abnormal thing, must there be some tricks?

Moreover, the Neferitaru royal family of Alabasta has been conscientiously and diligently managing the country for so many years, bringing comfort and peace to the people.

The result?~~

Hundreds of years of sincerity, can't you exchange the disguise of a pirate for four years? ! !

To be honest, even Link can't describe the thoughts of the citizens of Alabasta.

It can only be said that they are too stupid... honest.

And most importantly, the Neferitaru royal family didn't notice anything wrong.

After the riots occurred in the country, there was no effective action to be taken.

Such a royal family is merciful, but...

"It just seems a little too useless."

This sentence was too hurtful, and Link took it to heart and didn't say it.

Weiwei could only show a reluctant smile, the idea of ​​the people, her princess is really hard to evaluate.

"That is to say, the root of the problem lies in Crocodile, doesn't it?"

When Sanji was thinking about the problem, he still lit a cigarette for himself first.

"It's pretending to be a hero to win the crowd, and it's forming a secret criminal company in the dark, framed and framed against you, causing national turmoil and rebellion. He breathed out a breath of smoke." Problems are solved, right? "

"??\'In this analysis, it is indeed the case."

Nami nodded slightly.

"As long as you chop him up (beat him), it'll be fine."

Luffy and Zoro, two guys with very simple thinking, this is the only idea that pops up in their minds.

However, this is also a very direct, rude, and easiest way to solve problems.

Of course, the difficulty is almost the most difficult one.

"It would be great if the rebellion could be quelled without fighting, and the citizens would realize the true face of Crocodile, and then drive out the Baroque Society."

Wei Wei also sat down and hugged her legs, still holding unrealistic fantasies there.

She was still reluctant to face the reality, and it was not until she was in Yuba that she was completely awakened by Luffy's words "there is no war without death".

Thereby realizing the cruelty of reality and becoming mature.

In other words, Luffy before the new world was completely wise and foolish, and he knew very practical truths.
