Chapter 95 Gods... no, but Nobunaga is one (Seeking first subscription)

Vivi raised her head...

Uvogin, Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan are excitedly playing rock-paper-scissors to determine who gets to hunt the top-ranked agents. Uvogin and Nobunaga are arguing fiercely about who will face off against Mr. 1, and are even about to come to blows.

Pike and Shalnark were discussing their invasion route while looking at a map of Alabasta. They seemed to be debating whether to eliminate the rebels first, take down Baroque Works, or go straight for Crocodile...

Franklin and Lev patted their chests and said things like "millions of elders, millions of elders, that's it," and that the grunts would be left to them.

Nami and Machi were discussing what to wear in the scorching desert below, and they had already begun experimenting with various outfits on Shizuku, their "tool person."

As for Bonnie... she was even more direct... She leaned against the fence, drooling as she gazed at the desert oasis below, endlessly reciting a menu...

"Hand-pulled mutton... roasted camel meat in a naan pit... rabbit in a clay pot... braised pork ribs... I want to eat them all..."

Vivi stared at this scene, a bewildered look on her face. Those were the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

Why do these people look so relaxed, as if they're just discussing what to eat tomorrow...?

Don't they know fear?

Kuroro found the scene amusing. He helped Vivi up from the ground, brushed the dirt off her, and said with narrowed eyes, "Sorry, my friends are just a bit reckless. They don't care who their opponent is at all~ Didn't scare you, did you~"

"Aren't you scared?" Vivi asked incredulously.

"You haven't read the recent newspapers, have you...? You don't really know who we are..." Kuroro smiled, offering no further explanation.

How could I be afraid...?

Apart from Bonney, none of the other members of the Phantom Troupe knew who the Seven Warlords of the Sea were.

Even if they knew, they'd just laugh and ask, "How many Shichibukai are there? Are they enough to fight..."

As for Bonney... after witnessing Chrollo hunt Shiki and fight Kizaru for ten minutes straight, she had a complete understanding of Chrollo's fighting strength...

What do you mean by "can't beat Locketall"... Is he stronger than Shiki? Or faster than Kizaru?

Don't you have the ability to know...?

Kuroro, on the other hand, is even less afraid.

Kuroro already knew the information Vivi mentioned, and Crocodile currently has a major weakness: he's afraid of water...

The problem now is how to find him. Once he is found, Kuroro is very confident that he can defeat him.

After sorting through the maps over the past few days, Kuroro has recalled that Crocodile's base camp is in Alabasta's dream city—Rainland.

With Vivi leading the way, it seemed they could finally get there smoothly.

But Crocodile isn't stupid. The Phantom Pirates' bounty posters are everywhere, and Baroque Works' people are all over Rainy Land. Moreover, the Black Whale is a huge target. After discovering that a large pirate crew like the Phantom Pirates has gone to Rainy Land, Crocodile, with his suspicious personality, will quickly associate it with Chrollo and the others coming to hunt him, and thus escape.

Kuroro was confident that Crocodile wouldn't escape his grasp, but he only had three days left.

Three days later, even if they capture Crocodile, the Door-Door Fruit will have refreshed...

Therefore, this method will not work.

Furthermore... hunting only Baroque Works does not maximize the reputation points gained.

Based on past experience and knowing the system's nature, Kuroro guessed that only by completely resolving the Alabasta riots could he maximize his reputation points in the system's rating system.

Therefore, he needs to use a more direct method... to both quell the kingdom's rebellion and force Crocodile to reveal himself.

Most importantly, you can also improve your relationship with Nico Robin and get her to join your crew!

Thinking of this, Kuroro looked at Vivi and said, "Miss Vivi, as the princess of Alabasta, I believe you know which route to take to fly through arid and water-scarce towns and reach the kingdom's capital, Alabasta, right?"

"I do know..." Vivi looked somewhat confused. She could understand going to Arubana; the rebels were gathering and heading to Arubana, and the royal army had been waiting there for a long time. A major battle was about to begin.

Therefore, to stop the war, one must arrive in Arubana before the two sides go to war and stop them.

As a princess of the kingdom, Vivi believed she could persuade her father and the kingdom's guards.

Meanwhile, the leader of the rebels is none other than her childhood friend, Koza. She believes that as long as she meets with Koza and tells him that it was all Crocodile's conspiracy, Koza will stop his attack.

only...

"Why go through those dried-up towns along the way?"

Kuroro patiently explained, "The most fundamental problem in the Alabasta civil war is still the lack of water resources."

"

"Even if Crocodile's plot is exposed and we stop this riot, there may be another ambitious person who will use the water shortage as an excuse to cause trouble in the future."

"Therefore, if we want to solve this problem once and for all and minimize the possibility of future internal strife in Alabasta, the most important issue is..."

'

A sharp glint appeared in Kuroro's eyes. "Solve the water shortage problem~"

Upon hearing this, Vivi's expression turned to shock. Like a drowning person, she excitedly grabbed Kuroro's hands, "You're saying you have a way to solve the severe water shortage problem in Alabasta?"

Then, suddenly, he calmed down, gave a self-deprecating laugh, but how could that be possible...?

Alabasta is located in a desert region, and its water shortage is caused by its hilly terrain, which is part of its natural topography.

That was... a real natural disaster.

Unless it's a god... how could human power possibly solve this?

"There isn't a god... but Nobunaga does have one."

Kuroro wore his signature deep smile. "Nobunaga hasn't had a moment's rest these past few days; he's exhausted."

He raised his hand and pointed with a smile to the sky above the Black Whale.

Weiwei looked up, her gaze piercing through the clouds...

Then her face turned utterly shocked as she witnessed a scene she would never forget:

In the clouds directly above the Black Whale...

Lines of seawater hang upside down in the sky, like floating oceans, filling the heavens. And below those seawaters... soil, tender shoots, green trees, seedlings, and countless other things in the desert that store water soar in the sky like birds.

Weiwei covered her mouth tightly with her hand, instantly losing her voice.

Tears of hope flowed silently; the scene before them was too dreamlike, like a dream.

She pinched herself hard, crying out in pain, but didn't seem to care.

His eyes shone with a dazzling light...

With these... With these...

Alabasta is finally saved!!!
