This Uchiha is really evil!

Crocodile said: "Okay, now let's start assigning tasks."

"In three days, King Cobra will give a public speech in the capital, Albana, explaining that he did not abuse the dancing fans, in order to salvage the situation that has become irreversible."

"What we have to do is to escalate the situation and ignite another spark in this frying pan!"

"The core role of this mission is you, Mr. 2."

Feng Clay laughed and said, "Wow! I get it!"

"Are you going to rely on my demon boxing skills to kill the king?"

Crocodile sneered and shook his head.

"Killing him won't be that easy!"

"What's more, keeping him will be of great use to me."

"No, what you need to do is use your Mimicry Fruit ability to transform into his appearance, and then..."

"In front of all the citizens, I publicly announced that I had indeed abused the dancing fans!"

Everyone was shocked and finally understood Crocodile's sinister intentions.

Sarah said in a deep voice, "If this happens, I'm afraid the rebellion across the country will be completely unstoppable..."

"Humph, that's exactly what we're aiming for!"

"Miss. All Sunday, you also have your own secret mission."

Nico Robin asked, "What is it?"

"Capture the princess of Alabasta alive, Vivi!"

"That little kid? What's the point of capturing her alive?"

Crocodile said coldly: "I will interrogate that old man Cobra, but he probably won't tell me. His daughter will be the final bargaining chip."

"Remember, you must survive. If you fail, you will die with her!"

Nico Robin nodded: "I understand."

"Mr. 4 and Miss. Merry Christmas, your mission is to infiltrate the rebels' base camp, lead them to witness the king's speech with their own eyes, and instigate the rebels to launch an all-out war!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Mr. 1, and Miss. DoubleFinger, your mission is..."

"Command all remaining members of the Baroque Works and keep an eye on that troublesome navy..."

"Uchiha Chiba!"

"If necessary, I will use my influence and mobilize the standing army in Alabasta to help you!"

The two nodded: "I understand."

Crocodile stood up and put out his finished cigar directly on the table.

"This is the final and most important mission of the Baroque Workshop..."

"Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"

"Yes, BOSS!"

……

then.

A few days later.

The city center square of Albana, the capital of Alabasta.

Now it is crowded with people, and there is no way to get through.

Not only the people in the capital, but also the people from all over Alabasta who were suffering from the drought came from afar, wanting to meet the king and ask him for an explanation.

This, of course, also includes Kosa's rebel army.

Kosha is a childhood friend of Alabasta's Princess Vivi.

However, due to the drought in his hometown and the people's miserable lives, he had to think about launching a rebellion and overthrowing the king. Soon, relying on his own strength, he became the leader of the rebel army.

At this time, he had just turned eighteen.

Kosha was wearing the unique clothing of the desert area, with a hood covering most of his face, making it difficult for others to recognize him.

He looked up at the platform in front of him, waiting for King Cobra to appear.

Precisely because he knew King Cobra, even now he found it hard to believe that such a kind and upright man would do such an absurd and evil act.

So today's speech will be a turning point for him to decide the future of the entire rebel army.

If the king could prove that he had done nothing wrong, the rebellion would naturally never have started.

However, if the opposite happens, then you can't blame yourself for disregarding past relationships.

"Chief, everything is ready."

"Even, a mysterious person sent us a lot of weapons and guns..."

"Oh?"

Kosha frowned slightly: "Who is it?"

"I don't know, but... at a time like this, it's always a good thing. Otherwise, no matter how many people the rebels have, without guns and weapons, they can't be a match for the kingdom's regular army."

Kosha felt a little doubtful.

Sending weapons at this time is indeed a timely help, but on the other hand...

It was as if someone was deliberately trying to make him, the rebels, and the king suffer mutual losses...

Being able to become the leader of the rebel army at such a young age, Kosa certainly not only has strong leadership skills, but also has first-class intelligence and decision-making.

He remained calm and said calmly, "I understand."

"Notify the brothers in various strongholds and wait for my orders."

"Yes, leader!"

That's when.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd, and the king finally appeared on the high platform in the square ahead!

Suddenly, the whole square was in an uproar.

Those people who still believed in the king cheered.

Those who believed that the king had committed a crime could not help but shout and curse.

"King Cobra" strode out under the protection of several standing soldiers.

However, his steps seemed a bit frivolous and weird, which seemed a little different from his usual self.

But that face was undoubtedly King Cobra's.

He seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so he quickly slowed down his pace and forced himself to calm down.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"King Cobra" coughed loudly, then pressed down with both hands to stop the noise.

"Fellow citizens, please be quiet and listen to me!"

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

Everyone is waiting for the king's speech, which will determine the fate of all of Alabasta.

"King Cobra" showed a somewhat funny smile.

This expression alone made many people angry.

The entire Alabasta was suffering from drought and the people were living in dire straits. As a king, he could actually show such a ridiculous smile while giving a public speech at this time!

He didn't take this terrible disaster seriously at all!

"Fellow citizens!"

"This time, I'm here to apologize to everyone in public!"

There was an uproar among the crowd.

"Apologize?!"

"Why, Your Majesty...what crime have you committed? Don't be carried away by rumors and say things you don't mean!"

"Indeed! All those sins were committed by the king!"

King Cobra said with a playful smile, "I admit it was indeed me who used dancing powder in the capital Albana to ensure good weather and prosperity, but it caused drought and flooding in other parts of Alabasta. This is indeed my fault!"

"But... you should be able to understand me, right?"

"After all, the capital, Albana, is the holy land where the king resides. If we want good weather and good harvests, we must first ensure the king's presence!"

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar. Shouting and roaring were like a tsunami. The anger spread rapidly, like gunpowder ready to explode at any time.

"Chief! Did you hear that too?!"

"It's a pity you still harbored any illusions about this king. Now that you've heard his ridiculous words with your own ears, what else is there to say?!"

"Give the order immediately! It's time to launch a complete war and overthrow the king's tyranny!"

Kosa was still hesitant.

He looked at that face, as if something was wrong...

"Is that man really King Cobra?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about! No matter how you look at it, that's King Cobra himself!"

Kosha said in a deep voice: "I always feel that he seems a little different from the original him..."

Everyone sneered, "Of course it's different! Back then, the king was a man of great talent and vision, and he was also kind and loving to his people. But now, for his own selfish interests, he has thrown the entire country aside, being licentious, tyrannical and cruel. How can he still be the same?!"

"Chief, you can't hesitate any longer. This is the moment to make a decision!"

Kou Sha couldn't help but sigh, and after a long silence, he nodded.

And just then.
