Chapter 846: All parties gather together
On the other hand, Luffy is in a terrible situation.
After asking Rundekuai to go north from Nahana to Albana to report the news, Luffy and his crew took a boat across the Santo River, which has a history of thousands of years and gave birth to the Kingdom of Alabasta, and landed at the Elmaru Oasis at noon the next day.
There lived a group of Kung Fu manatees near the Elmaru Oasis. They admired Kung Fu and attacked decisively and fiercely, but when they met Luffy, they were crushed and defeated. Then the group set out from Elmaru and walked across the desert to Yuba, where they saw Doto, a middle-aged man who insisted on digging for water.
Duotuo is Weiwei's childhood sweetheart and the father . Although his son has joined the rebels, as an old father he always believes that Youba will not lose to the sand. Day after day he digs the ground in Youba, which has become a desert, in an attempt to dig out water.
Time is a butcher's knife. The sandstorms that have been attacking Youba for many years have turned this fat uncle, who originally weighed more than 200 pounds, had a round face and a big belly, into a skinny and shriveled old man. This scene of completely different things and people made Weiwei feel so painful.
From Doto, everyone learned that the rebel base had moved to Katrea near Nahana. They were speechless for a moment, and after a night's rest, they had no choice but to turn back. But halfway through, Luffy didn't dare to go anymore, and even had a big fight with Vivi.
At this moment, Luffy showed a rare overall view and wisdom as a captain. He denounced Vivi, saying that the probability of persuading the rebels was slim, and even if she succeeded , it would be of no help to the rebellion in the kingdom. Only by reaching Crocodile could the root of everything be solved.
Finally, Weiwei was persuaded, and they set off again, heading north to the rainy land.
It takes one day to get from Nahana to Yuba, and another day to get from Yuba to the rainy land. When Luffy and his friends were walking to the rainy land, it was just when Gajeel and his friends were making a scene at the rainy banquet and conquering Baroque Works.
At the same time, the rebel army and the kingdom army were in constant friction, and the only thing away from the outbreak of war was a fuse.
In the original work, the fuse was that Mr. 2 disguised himself as King Cobra, confessed the "dancing powder incident" near Nahana, and designed a ship loaded with dancing powder to crash into the port, and let the crew lie that this was the cargo secretly shipped to Albania under the order of the king. He also brutally attacked the people and children, which led to the rebels launching a general attack on Albania.
But now, Mr. 2, Mr. 1 and other members of the Baroque Works will no longer do these things, so the fuse is gone, and the "king uses dancing powder" thing has not been confirmed, and the anger of the rebels is not that strong. Even though there is a plan to "launch a general attack after gathering", it has been delayed a lot compared to the original time, which undoubtedly bought time for Weiwei's action.
The capital, Albania, the royal palace.
Running fast with Vivi's letter, Cobra returned to the palace day and night. After learning that Crocodile was the mastermind behind everything, he directly ordered to ignore the rebel army's riot. Instead, he the soldiers and decided to rush to the Rain Banquet to defeat Crocodile. He also sent Bell, the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard and the user of the Falcon form of the Bird-Bird Fruit, to go to the Rain Banquet first to find out the news (to give himself a head).
On the navy side, Smoker had no good feelings towards Crocodile. Now that he received the news from Killer, whether it was for the purpose of investigating Crocodile, verifying Killer's news, or simply to capture Luffy and his crew, he led his troops to the rainy land.
The Royal Army, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the Navy, the three forces are all heading towards the rainy land, but unfortunately they don't know that their target Crocodile has now become a prisoner and is suffering inhuman abuse; and the purpose of the rebel army is different from that of others, just like a poor little thing that has been removed from the group chat.
In the rain, an airship landed outside the city. After the people on it got off, the entire airship disappeared without a trace with a "whoosh".
After a day of high-altitude travel in the desert and enjoying the desert scenery, Kira and his group finally followed the magic signal device and entered the city before other forces arrived at the rainy land.
On the street, Kira held the magic signal device and counted the red dots on it.
"One, two, three... There are actually five people here?! They are quite good at finding a good place. The Rainland is the richest place in the whole of Alabasta. The Rain Banquet in the center of the city is also the most famous gambling place in this country."
Wendy looked up and asked, "Are we going to the casino, Kilasan?"
Hearing this, Kira put his hand on the little girl's head and said seriously: "Don't joke, you are still a child! How can a child go to that kind of place? So it's better for us adults to go!"
Everyone: “…”
"What are you looking at? Are you doubting my words? Really... To be honest, I have never been to such a place, and I don't like gambling at all. It's because I know that even people like me can't guarantee that I can control myself when it comes to gambling, so how can I let you kids take risks?"
Gray unceremoniously exposed Kira's true colors and complained: "It sounds nice, but when there is something exciting in the guild, aren't you the first one to open the market?"
Kira did not show any shame on his face. Instead, he refuted seriously: "You are wrong. How can opening the market and betting be the same? The former is to make money, which is not shabby, while the latter is just indulgence!"
"Besides, who told me that the signal showed that my guildmates were inside? As the leader of the 'New Fairy Tail', I have to go in and catch them, and give them a good scolding. These guys just didn't learn their lesson after arriving in the new world, and I must punish them this time!"
After a while of chattering, the group split into two teams.
Since they were going in to find their partners, the leader Kira and the discipline committee member Erza must go in. Then Gray, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Wakaba, Eric and others who wanted to go in and take a look were taken along.
Of course, in addition to the purpose of finding partners, Natsu and others also pretended that they wanted to "see the world"; Wakaba was much more generous. During the time when he was away from the management of his wife, this middle-aged uncle completely let himself go and said openly that he was just in it to have fun; Eric was even more generous and directly said that he was in it to make money. With the sound magic, he could win ten times out of ten.
In fact, Wendy also wanted to go in, but was rejected by Kira on the grounds that "she is not old enough to enter". Kira also used the reason that "as a father, he should set a good example in front of his son", so Makao was left outside with Romeo and could only watch his old friend go in alone.
Urrutia had no interest in gambling, so he took Melty, Wendy and Xia Lulu with him, and they went shopping and had fun together.
"Where are they... where are they... where are the disobedient little guys in our guild?"
As the largest casino in the entire Alabasta Kingdom, the entire Rain Banquet is very large. In terms of floor space alone, it is more than four times the size of the Fairy Tail guild. In addition, its conical structure is similar to the Egyptian pyramids, but in terms of internal capacity, it is much larger than European-style guilds.
Here, Kira could use magic perception to find people, but due to the complex internal structure, it took some time to find the room where the people were.
“This is it!”
Ten minutes later, Kira, Erza and the others stood at the door of a room. He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. At the same time, a voice sounded -
"Let's put aside future plans for now. I need to find our guild mates first!"
Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
"No need to look for it, just make a plan! If you can't do it, I can do it!"
…
The appearance of Kira and others made everyone in the room stand up in surprise: "Who?!"
Seeing the face of the person who opened the door, Mr. 3 was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Kira... Mr. Kira?! And Ms. Erza, Mr. Natsu, and Mr. Gray?!..."
He calls himself "Sir", Erza "Miss", and Natsu and Gray "Brother". No wonder Mr.3 will be able to rise so fast in the future. His sharp vision can be seen just from the way he addresses these people.
The other high-level special attacks were all stunned when they heard Mr. 3's name, but then they quickly reacted: "Are they the companions of this group of people? Those wizards?"
Crocodile in prison: "It's over. We don't have the advantage in numbers anymore..."
