Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

After explaining the three key factors, Luffy began to elaborate on each one in detail.

"Leave the defeat of Crocodile to me."

"Leave the task of stopping the war between the rebels and the royal army to Uta!"

When Vivi heard Luffy say that he would entrust the task of stopping the war to Uta, she looked puzzled and asked.

"Uta? She's an outsider, how could she possibly persuade the rebels to stop the war?"

“Luffy, I know the rebel leader Koza. If I tell him Crocodile’s secret, he will definitely believe it, and then we can stop the war.”

"Leave this to me!"

Seeing Vivi's eagerness to save the country, yet also her worried expression, Luffy shook his head and said...

"Weiwei, you're too naive."

"The news that we are about to arrive in Alabasta must have already reached Crocodile."

"How could he possibly let you meet Koza?"

"With so many members of the Kingdom's army and the rebel army, do you think Crocodile wouldn't have planted Baroque Works members among them?"

“If you contact Kosa, these people will definitely do everything they can to stop you.”

"It could even threaten your and Koza's lives."

Vivi was taken aback by Luffy's words. She only thought that as long as she could see Koza, Koza would definitely believe her.

I really hadn't thought about this kind of thing.

If, as Luffy said, even if she meets Kosa, she might be assassinated before she can say anything, or Kosa might be assassinated after she tells him.

In short, it won't be as simple as she thinks.

Upon hearing these words, Robin silently expressed her admiration and approval for Luffy.

She was already by Crocodile's side, so she knew that both sides' armies had indeed planted a large number of Baroque Works people in order to prevent any accidents.

At the same time, she became curious about Uta, whom Luffy had mentioned, and turned to look at Uta.

How can this girl stop this war?

Seeing Vivi fall silent and stop talking, Luffy said seriously.

"Vivi, do you believe I can save your country?"

Upon hearing this, Vivi looked at Luffy and saw boundless confidence in his eyes.

Having spent so much time with Luffy, she had long since developed a strong trust and dependence on him.

Even if she herself didn't realize it, she would feel at ease whenever Luffy spoke.

Looking into Luffy's eyes, Vivi nodded emphatically.

Seeing this, Luffy smiled slightly and continued speaking.

"Since you trust me, then let's proceed according to my plan!"

"And regarding the second point of the plan, I actually need your help."

Upon hearing that there was a place where she could contribute to saving the country, Vivi quickly asked.

"What do you want from me?"

Luffy said, word by word.

"I want you to stop the royal army from resisting and allow the rebels to successfully storm the capital."

Luffy's words puzzled not only Vivi but everyone else present.

"Luffy, what are you saying?"

"Aren't we supposed to stop the war? If we let the rebels storm the capital, wouldn't that mean the war has already begun?"

"Yes, Luffy! The Kingdom's army is already outnumbered by the rebels. If the rebels are allowed to break into the country, the Kingdom's army will be unable to resist."

Those who voiced these concerns were a few people who did not understand Uta's abilities.

However, those who understand Uta's abilities, including Uta himself, do not know why Luffy would allow the rebel army to attack the capital.

Uta's abilities can prevent war before it breaks out between the two armies.

Why insist on letting the rebels storm the capital?

Everyone's eyes were filled with various doubts. Luffy glanced at them, then suddenly smiled and explained.

"In fact, this is the third and most crucial step in the plan to save Alabasta."

"It is to expose Crocodile's true colors to the people of Alabasta."

When Luffy mentioned the third point of the plan, everyone immediately perked up their ears to listen carefully.

Luffy continued.

"Why do you think Crocodile, who manipulates so many things behind the scenes, can still maintain his good image as a national hero and enjoy the support of the people?"

Vivi had already informed everyone about Crocodile.

Crocodile has always protected the people from pirate invasions and has long been a hero in their hearts.

Everyone looked at Luffy, each making their own guesses.

Luffy didn't wait for their reply and continued.

"That's because he has always kept himself very hidden and never exposed his unknown side to the outside world."

"What he presented to the people was his glorious and positive image."

"That's why he was able to gain the support of the people and become a national hero."

"Now, if we want to expose his true colors, we have to make him stop hiding himself."

When do you think he will stop hiding himself?

Luffy looked at everyone, and they all looked at each other, like they hadn't been paying attention in class and had been called on to answer a question. Their faces all looked completely bewildered.

Only Weiwei seemed to suddenly realize something, and said excitedly.

"When he achieves his goal?!"

Crocodile has been disguising himself all along in order to achieve his goal.

Once his goal is achieved, he will no longer need to pretend.

Chapter Seventy: An Amazing Plan, Landing in Alabasta! (Thanks to song... for the monthly pass)

Luffy glanced at Vivi, smiled, nodded, and said.

"That's right! So we need to create the illusion that he has achieved his goal."

"To make him think that his plan has succeeded."

"Only then will he stop pretending and start to achieve his true purpose."

Suddenly hearing Luffy mention the "real purpose," everyone, including Vivi, the only one who had answered the question earlier, became even more confused and bewildered.

Only Robin glanced at Luffy with surprise in her eyes, wondering if Luffy knew something.

"The real purpose? Crocodile's purpose is to seize Alabasta, isn't it?"

"Yes, Luffy! Didn't Vivi already say that?"

"Why are you suddenly saying such strange things?"

Luffy had anticipated everyone's doubts, and with a knowing smile, he looked at them and asked.

"Do you really think Crocodile, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would go to such lengths just to conquer a single country?"

The question immediately sparked deep thought among everyone.

Of course, no one could figure it out.

Luffy continued to explain.

"Crocodile, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has the support of the World Government."

"We can openly engage in piracy and legally plunder."

"You could say that you have both money and status."

Why would he be so greedy as to seize a country?

"Don't forget, he's a pirate."

"What can a pirate gain besides money and status when he seizes a country?"

"He can't possibly be thinking of being a good king, can he?!"

After Luffy finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is just as Luffy said.

Crocodile had absolutely no reason to seize a country.

Because he couldn't possibly be thinking about being a king who is truly loved by the people.

For a moment, they were puzzled again.

He looked at Luffy and asked.

"If he wasn't after Alabasta, what was he after?"

Luffy smiled upon hearing this, looked at Robin, and said.

"Robin should know, right?"

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Robin.

Vivi, in particular, asked impatiently.

"What exactly is Crocodile's purpose?"

Why did he allow this country to teeter on the brink of destruction?

Looking at Vivi's eyes, which were filled with tears and anger, Robin couldn't help but glance at Luffy again.

This captain doesn't seem as simple as she thought!

Robin began to speak slowly.

"He's after the ancient weapon hidden in Alabasta, Hades!"

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted in the same way that the executives at Baroque Works had when they learned of it from Crocodile.

Everyone was stunned when they learned from Robin what Hades was.

"There really is something that terrifying!"

"So that's how it is! That Shichibukai's goal is to conquer the world using Pluton?!"

"If he actually gets his hands on this weapon, wouldn't the world be in danger!"

Everyone was amazed.

Only Weiwei couldn't help but burst into tears, her voice trembling.

"They're going to destroy our Alabasta for something like that."

"That crocodile is unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!!!"

Seeing Weiwei's heartbroken state, everyone couldn't help but feel sad and sympathetic for her.

At that moment, Luffy gently patted Vivi's back and said softly.

"Vivi, don't worry! We will definitely help you save Alabasta!"

The others then stepped forward to comfort Weiwei.

"Don't worry, Vivi! With us here, your country will definitely be safe and sound."

"Yes, Vivi! We will definitely help you."

“We will definitely help you teach Crocodile a lesson and drive him out of your country.”

"We're here..."
