Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Upon hearing this, Hancock had to believe it to some extent—she believed more in the emotional fluctuations she sensed through her Observation Haki.

He looked down at the permanent pointer in his hand.

As the two left, Hancock and the others began to discuss their next steps, whether to follow the direction of the Log Pose. Luffy, upon hearing this, felt that this damned thing that ruined the adventure should be destroyed, but Hancock kicked him aside, saying that if they didn't want to come along, then they could have the Log Pose from Nami, and they would head directly to the Alabasta Kingdom.

Subsequently, the Straw Hat Pirates held a vote and decided to follow the Justice Pirates' ship directly to the Alabasta Kingdom.

-

The Kingdom of Alabasta, with its capital in Arubana.

Deep in the desert, the streets and alleys here are relatively bustling.

Numerous street vendors hawked their wares, and the streets were teeming with pedestrians, making it impossible to tell that when the place first appeared, it was surrounded by the chaos of rebel forces.

"Fresh pears~!"

"Barbecue, delicious barbecue!"

"Pretty jewelry..."

As the vendors were hawking their wares, they saw a group of women dressed in strange clothes, followed by a man with long, spiky black hair.

The women were discussing the unusual sights around them, and the men that would never appear on Amazon Lily. Beside the man with long, spiky black hair ahead walked a woman in a naval justice robe, a cigarette dangling from her lips, as she walked across the sweltering land.

But next second.

The cigarette in the navy woman's mouth was taken away.

"what?!"

"Don't smoke. Your breath will stink."

"What's it to you...?"

Tina was halfway through her sentence when she saw Uchiha Bufan's teasing gaze. She immediately pouted, took out another pack of cigarettes she had just bought on the way, put it in her mouth, and muttered under her breath, "You'll stink to death!"

Before long, the group arrived at the heart of the capital city of Albana. A group of royal guards saluted Tina and Uchiha Bufan before welcoming them into the palace.

"My name is Bell, and I am the strongest warrior in the Kingdom of Alabasta. I am very pleased to have you here."

"No, no, no, we're just here to meet the local lords," Uchiha Bufan waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."

Ahead, Bell, dressed in a white turtleneck cape with a white hood covering his head, turned his head, revealing his clear and rather handsome face. "No! It is our honor to receive your help."

Even before arriving in the capital of the Alabasta Kingdom, Uchiha Fufan had infiltrated the royal palace and met with King Cobra of Alabasta using a shadow clone.

During the conversation, Uchiha Bufan demanded that the Kingdom hand over the Devil Fruits stored in its vault in exchange for the Kuja Pirates' help in eliminating the rebels after they had dealt with the Justice Pirates.

Cobra initially didn't believe that Uchiha Bufan possessed such strength, but after Uchiha Bufan revealed his identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Cobra had no choice but to believe it—most importantly, at this moment he truly didn't know what to do.

Although Devil Fruits are expensive, he is still willing to trade them for Devil Fruits.

Upon learning that the treasure vault contained only one, and it was a Zoan-type, Uchiha Bufan was somewhat disappointed, but it was better than nothing. He explained that this was considered interest, and they would discuss it in detail after they arrived in the capital the next day.

Therefore, knowing that this group of people had come to help the kingdom overcome its difficulties, Bell's attitude was very good.

While the others remained outside the palace, only Uchiha Fufan, Tina, and even Bell, who was leading the way, walked through the long corridor. Uchiha Fufan then formally met King Cobra from the original story.

"King Cobra, greetings."

"Miss Bufan, please don't stand on ceremony. And this young lady from the Navy."

"King Cobra, has something happened to your country? Why did Tina feel all sorts of strange gazes on her as she walked here?"

Tina got straight to the point.

Instantly, the palace guards, Cobra above, and Bell, who was leading the way, all wore complex expressions.

After a long silence, Cobra, who was on the throne above, stood up and slowly walked down:

"What you've encountered is probably the vision of the rebels."

How could the king of a country not know about the rebellion?

However, he still held onto hope that the conflict between the people could be resolved without resorting to armed struggle.

However, Baroque Works has more than 3,000 people, and each of them has a mouth to spread rumors. Even if you, as the king, want to prove your innocence, it will be very difficult, and you may even be assassinated when you go out. This is why Vivi took the risk of going undercover in Baroque Works.

"Rebels." Tina frowned slightly, thinking to herself, why isn't the king making a move? But before Tina could ask if she needed the navy's help, Uchiha Bufan's voice rang out from the side, immediately suppressing Tina's thoughts.

"I know a little about this matter."

"But to avoid any spies among the kingdom's guards, please give the order, Your Majesty."

Uchiha Fufan's gaze swept over the kingdom's guards. The guards looked at each other, and one of them suddenly felt a chill. The next second, a golden flash appeared on Uchiha Fufan's finger.

call out!

"Uh-huh——"

Sharp, golden lines, shaped like fishhooks, shot out from Uchiha Bufan's fingertips.

In the blink of an eye, the hook pierced the guard's chest, narrowly avoiding a fatal wound.

The guard looked on incredulously; he couldn't fathom how Uchiha Bufan had managed to find him.

"The Grand Line has always been rumored to have three types of Haki."

"Among them, when one's Observation Haki is cultivated to a certain level, it is possible to foresee the future."

"I accidentally saw your future~ You don't mind, do you~" Uchiha Bufan stroked his face and said with a smile.

Tina: ?

It's true that you can foresee the future, but how far in advance are you predicting?!

Tina stared blankly at the man clutching his chest, a half-lit cigarette dangling from her lips.

Soon, all the guards came to his side, their sharp weapons pointed at him.

"All the kingdom guards are selected; how could there possibly be a spy among them!"

"Why don't you ask him?"

Upon hearing the extraordinary words, Bell looked at the man, only to see him smile coldly: "That man promised me a generous reward and reassurance for my family. Compared to you, this incompetent king, I trust him more..."

boom! ! !

Bell, his face grim, pressed the man's head down onto the floor with one hand.

In an instant, the floor was dented and cracked by the man's sturdy skull.

"Traitor! Has the kingdom ever mistreated your family?"

At this moment, the guard was speechless, having been knocked unconscious by Bell's attack. If Uchiha Bufan hadn't known that Bell was definitely one of their own, he would have suspected that he had deliberately knocked the man unconscious to prevent him from revealing information.

The farce ended abruptly. Faced with absolute self-interest, even the most loyal guards who once protected the kingdom could be corrupted.

"I apologize for making you laugh, Miss Bufan."

"Your Majesty, there's no need to call me Miss Bufan. To tell you the truth, I'm a man."

Upon hearing this, Cobra looked shocked, then nodded slightly, smugly understanding Uchiha Bufan's meaning: "I see, so you call yourself male so you won't lose to boys?"

"No, no, no—I'm really a man. Pretending to be a woman all the time is so tiring." Uchiha Bufan waved his hand, looking helpless. Tina next to him twitched her lips, thinking to herself that another person had found out about this secret.

"That's impossible! As far as I know, the inhabitants of Amazon Lily, and even the members of the pirate crews, should all be women!"

"then you......"

When Cobra saw Uchiha Bufan, who was now using 'Reality Shift' to appear as a woman, his expression was somewhat strange: "Then what's going on with you?"

"It's complicated to explain."

"I'm telling you this secret because I want to establish a longer-term partnership with Wang."

“Of course, if my secret is leaked…” Uchiha Fufan said with a grim face, feigning a fierce expression, “I will kill you first, no matter what.”

Under Uchiha's extraordinary control, Conqueror's Haki manifested as a power that, while not causing dizziness, conveyed a sense of terror and powerlessness, instantly striking Cobra, who was not far ahead.

At this moment, Kobra felt dizzy and lightheaded. He stumbled backward several steps, bumped into a staircase, and sat down heavily on the steps.

What an incredibly powerful aura!

Bell and even the guards outside were completely unaware.

......

Half an hour later, the palace gates slowly opened, and Bell saw Cobra and Uchiha Bufan walking out chatting and laughing. He thought to himself that this negotiation should be a sure thing.

"My lord, then I'll have to trouble you."

"No, no, it is I who should be troubling you, Wang."

Tina yawned, just as she took out her lighter to smoke, when she looked up and saw Uchiha's unusually friendly smile. "Tch."

Tina silently put the lighter away.

—In this unfamiliar place, Uchiha Bufan dared not be careless at all, and used his Observation Haki over a wide range the whole time.

Most people would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Having completed the transaction, Uchiha Bufan was well aware that he had secured a favorable alliance, ensuring that he would never lack resources or money in the future. After all, the Alabasta Kingdom was a superpower, and by adjusting the climate and environment, it would undoubtedly become a highly popular economic and diplomatic superpower.

Amazon Lily can also use the money obtained from its cooperation with Alabasta to purchase and search for the power of Devil Fruits.

"Lady Snake Princess! First mate Santasonia, who is heading to the Rainlands, has sent a reply."

Uchiha Bufan arrived at a corner of the outer courtyard of the royal palace, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and before he could answer, it transformed into a Den Den Mushi with scars.

"Can you hear me? The new empress of Amazon Lily."

"What did you do to Santasonia!" Marie Goth, standing next to Bufan, roared at the Den Den Mushi. Bufan appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with rage.

The largest casino in the rainy area.

At this moment, Crocodile, in a room on the basement floor of the casino, was looking at Santa Sonia and several members of the Kuja Pirates inside the iron cage with a smile. The group of people all had some wounds, and were obviously no match for Crocodile and had been captured.

"Actually, there's a business deal I'd like to discuss with you."

"But you should be in the royal palace in the capital right now."

"Let's wait until you come to Yudi, then we can talk in detail when we meet."

"Are they still alive?" Uchiha Bufan's face was filled with anger, but he still suppressed his anger and asked: These two were the people who helped him become the Empress, he could not be ungrateful!

"Of course. How could I dare to kill a subordinate of the Empress of the Sea, who is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Damn it!" Santasonia tried to pry open the sturdy iron cage from its position.

Suddenly, a feeling of powerlessness washed over her from the iron bars.

"It's sea stone! And there's so much of it..."

Santasonia lay back down on the ground. Crocodile glanced at her and said, "Don't struggle. You are my valuable assets; it wouldn't be good if you got hurt."

These words reached Uchiha Bufan's Den Den Mushi, and he was able to hear Santasonia's voice, which made him slightly more relaxed.

"see you later."

"Very well, then I will await the Empress's arrival."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Uchiha Fubuki couldn't believe that Crocodile would dare to attack his people, especially under orders from the Navy.

Tina, standing next to her, was equally shocked.

"Let's go. We're heading to Rainfield immediately." Uchiha Bufan glanced at the crew members and said with a grim expression, "To rescue Santasonia."

"Yeah!"xN

Chapter 173: Before the Navy's plan even begins, two Shichibukai have already broken up.

The rebel stronghold is located in an oasis town in the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

—Katleya.

There was virtually no diplomatic activity within the town. After the rebels entered, almost all the remaining residents, and even those who arrived, were supporters of the rebels.

"Is the next step the start of war?" Samui didn't expect this day to come so soon. She stayed behind in this camp as a supporter and collaborator of the rebel revolution. The other four women had gone to the small world several days ago and even found a reindeer spirit beast.

This summoning beast was originally a human, but is now a Devil Fruit user and a doctor.

The war required doctors, and it seemed that a lot of time had passed. The deer then agreed to come and help the rebels treat the wounded.

The reason they helped the rebels was more to help the rebel forces take over the country and obtain the intelligence and rewards they wanted before heading to the Sky Island.
