Chapter 70 Amazing Plan, Landing In Alabasta! (Thanks To Song... For Your Monthly Ticket)
Luffy glanced at Vivi, smiled and nodded, and said.
"That's right! So we have to give him a false impression that his goal has been achieved."
"Let him think that his plan has succeeded."
"Next, he will stop pretending and achieve his real goal."
Suddenly, when Luffy mentioned "real goal", everyone, including Vivi, who was the only one who answered the question just now, became more confused and bewildered.
Only Robin looked at Luffy with surprise in his eyes, wondering if Luffy knew something?
"The real goal? Isn't Crocodile's goal to seize Alabasta?"
"Yes, Luffy! Didn't Vivi say this a long time ago?"
"Why do you suddenly say such strange things?"
Luffy had expected everyone's doubts, smiled inexplicably, and asked everyone.
"Do you think that Crocodile, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would go to such great lengths just to seize a country?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone fell into thinking.
Of course, no one could think of anything.
Luffy continued to explain.
"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile has the support of the world government behind him. "
"He can do pirate things openly and plunder legally.
"He can have money and status.
"Why would he want to seize a country?"
"Don't forget, he is a pirate. ”
“What else can a pirate gain from seizing a country besides money and status?”
“He doesn’t want to be a good king, does he?!”
After Luffy finished speaking, everyone in the audience fell silent.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed as Luffy said.
Crocodile has no reason to seize a country.
Because he can’t really want to be a king loved by the people.
For a moment, they were confused again.
Looking at Luffy and asking.
“If he is not trying to seize Alabasta, what is it for?”
Luffy smiled and looked at Robin and said.
“Robin should know!”
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes turned to Robin.
Especially Vivi asked impatiently.
“What is Crocodile’s purpose?”
“Why does he want to bring this country to the brink of destruction?”
Looking at Vivi’s eyes full of tears and anger, Robin couldn’t help but look at Luffy again.
This captain doesn’t seem as simple as she thought!
Robin spoke slowly.
“He is for the Ancient Weapon hidden in Alabasta, Pluton!"
When these words came out, everyone reacted just like the Baroque Studio executives when they heard about this from Crocodile.
When they learned what Pluton was from Robin, everyone was stunned.
"There is such a terrible thing!"
"So that's it! Is that Shichibukai's goal to dominate the world with Pluton?!"
"If he really gets this weapon, then wouldn't the world be in danger!"
Everyone was amazed.
Only Vivi couldn't help crying, her voice trembling.
"To destroy our Alabasta for that kind of thing.
"That crocodile, unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable!!!"
Everyone looked at Vivi's grief-stricken look and couldn't help but feel sad and sympathetic for her.
At this time, Luffy patted Vivi's back gently and said softly.
"Vivi, don't worry! We will definitely help you save Alabasta!"
The others also stepped forward to comfort Vivi at this time.
"Don't worry, Vivi! Your country will be safe as long as we are here."
"Yes, Vivi! We will definitely help you."
"We will definitely help you teach Crocodile a lesson and drive him out of your country."
"We are here..."
Vivi looked at these people with tears on her face. She was extremely moved and said in a choked and trembling voice.
"**......"
After Vivi's excitement calmed down a little, Luffy continued to speak.
"Let's talk about the plan just now."
"When Crocodile thinks that the war has completely broken out and cannot be stopped, he will relax his vigilance and start to capture this Ancient Weapon, Pluton."
"According to what Robin just said, this weapon should be a mysterious stone written in ancient literature.
"Vivi, do you know where this kind of stone can be found in your country?"
Vivi had stopped crying at this time and thought back carefully after hearing Luffy's words.
After a while, she remembered something and spoke.
"Behind the capital city of Albana, there is a mausoleum of our royal family, the Burial and Ceremony Hall!"
"I remember there was a stone with incomprehensible writing on it."
After Vivi finished speaking, Luffy suddenly raised his voice and spoke to everyone.
"Okay, now I will explain to you the specific implementation steps of this plan."
"First of all, Vivi, you need to write a personal letter telling your father about Crocodile and letting them pretend to resist and let the rebels invade the capital."
"Then, Uta took this letter and rushed directly to the capital Albana!"
"When the rebels invade the capital and create the illusion that the king's army is unable to resist, it will be up to Uta to stop them."
"After the rebels invade the capital, this news will definitely reach Crocodile, and the rest of you will rush to the capital with Vivi at this time, pretending to prevent this war.
"At this time, the cadres of Baroque Studio should come out to intercept you."
"And Crocodile will also race against time to find Pluton's whereabouts before the war is stopped by you."
"So Crocodile will definitely find Vivi's father and ask about it."
"At that time, let Vivi's father pretend to cooperate, and when Crocodile found the stone and relaxed his vigilance, he "took the opportunity to induce him to reveal the things he had manipulated."
"Then what the rest of you have to do is, when you confront those cadres, make them admit that they are people from Baroque Studio, Crocodile's subordinates, and secretly record it with a video phone."
"Crocodile also asked Uta to hide the video phone bug in the funeral ceremony hall in advance."
“When the time comes, we will broadcast the words of Crocodile and all cadres live to the entire Alabasta.
"In this way, the secret of this country will be revealed."
"Ultimately it's just a matter of dealing with Crocodile and these cadres."
After Luffy finished explaining the entire plan, everyone looked at Luffy dumbfounded as if they had been baptized.
Nami couldn't help but pinched Luffy's head and kept pulling it back and forth, exclaiming.
"Let me ask you, how did your brain grow?"
"Why can you think of the other party's actions so clearly?"
"And aren't you usually quite stupid? Why did you suddenly become so smart this time?"
Luffy rolled his eyes at Nami speechlessly.
"You're the one who's usually stupid, right?"
"I was so stupid that I didn't realize that you, the captain, are the smartest person on this ship."
In fact, Luffy was able to come up with this plan because he knew something about Crocodile's plan in the original book.
Even if he took Robin away halfway, Crocodile would definitely not be able to make a completely new plan in just a few days.
Therefore, the overall plan must be very different from the original plan, which is why he made such a targeted plan.
After hearing what Luffy said, Nami suddenly grinned, as if she wanted to teach Luffy a lesson.
"What did you say?"
At this moment, Vivi suddenly spoke with a sad tone, and Nami also saw the opportunity and became quiet.
"In this case, wouldn't there be people in the king's army who died in the false resistance? The same goes for the rebel army, there will definitely be some sacrifices, right?"
Luffy looked at her seriously and said.
"Vivi, this is war!"
"A war involving millions of people is impossible without sacrifice."
There was sadness in Vivi's eyes, she lowered her head silently and nodded lightly to express her understanding.
During her time with Luffy, she really felt that many of her previous ideas were too naive.
It is impossible not to wish anyone to die.
Luffy didn't bother Vivi anymore and let her accept this fact silently.
Then he turned his attention to Robin and said.
"Robin, I want you to cooperate with our plan."
"Back to Crocodile for now."
"Didn't you say that? Only you can understand those words, so Crocodile will cooperate with you."
"So if you can come back to him, he will definitely feel more closer to achieving his goal, and it will be easier to tell everything he has done.
In fact, Luffy also has another purpose in doing this, which is to gain Robin's trust so that she can completely let down her guard and integrate into their Straw Hats.
After all, if a plan against the enemy is told to someone who is still on the enemy's side for the time being, there is definitely a possibility that it will be leaked.
The fact that Luffy is still willing to say it shows that she trusts Robin enough to make Robin trust them too.
Sure enough, after hearing what Luffy said, the others reacted in horror and exclaimed before Robin could answer.
"Wait a minute, Luffy! This woman is from Baroque Studio!"
"Yes! She heard our plan just now. If she goes back, wouldn't our plan be exposed?"
"You guys said you were smart just now, why did you suddenly become stupid?"
"Luffy, we must not let Ms. come back to Crocodile all Sunday!"
Even Vivi, who was silent, spoke out to dissuade her.
She still hates Robin a little.
Robin didn't feel angry when she heard everyone questioning her, as it should be.
She was just staring straight at Luffy now, full of doubts in her heart.
She couldn't figure out why Luffy was willing to let her go and trust her so much.
Then, Robin and everyone in the audience saw Luffy smile slightly and said.
"The plan I just mentioned is the fastest way to save Alabasta and start its revival.
"If the plan is leaked, then we will go directly to kill Crocodile and his gang."
.......*****……..
"They are the chief culprits that endanger this country. As long as we get rid of them, this country will slowly recover in the future, but it will take a little longer."
"So, either way, this country will not fall into the hands of Crocodile."
"Besides, Robin is our partner now, and we should trust our partners, right?"
After Luffy finished speaking, everyone calmed down.
It is indeed as he said, as long as they are here, it is only a matter of time before Alabasta is saved, and it will not fail because of a plan.
In this way, they no longer block it.
Robin, on the other hand, looked at Luffy blankly. She was shocked as if Luffy's last words touched her heart.
As a wanted criminal on the run to avoid being pursued by the world's government, Robin has been with countless pirate groups and experienced countless betrayals.
But she has never felt trust.
Even as Crocodile's most senior cadre, she knew that Crocodile didn't trust her.
But now, a new pirate group, this man wearing a straw hat whom she had just met, showed absolute trust in her.
Suddenly, Robin grinned and nodded.
"I see!"
She had no intention of telling Crocodile Pluton's secret. She had already planned to break up with Crocodile at the last minute.
But now, Luffy can help her escape from Crocodile, and is willing to trust her and accept her as a partner.
This is the best development for Robin at the moment.
And one more thing, she feels that she is very happy in this pirate group!
After arranging all the plans, the Golden Merli continued sailing for a certain distance and finally arrived at Alabasta.
They sailed the ship to the city closest to the coast, Rapeseed Flowers.
After hiding the Merry in a secret location, everyone disembarked and officially landed in Alabasta.
As soon as they got off the boat, Vivi handed Uta the letter she had written long ago and asked Karu to lead the way for Uta.
This is the most urgent matter at present and cannot be delayed.
"Karoo, Uta, please!"
Vivi looked at Uta and Karu with strong expectations in her eyes and said.
Uta smiled and said.
"Leave it to us! Nothing will happen!"
"Gah!"
Karu also shouted.
"It says it's guaranteed to get the job done!"
Chopper translated from the side.
As an animal, he understood what Karoo said.
Afterwards, Uta rode on Karu, waved goodbye to everyone, and set off directly towards the capital Albana.
After Uta and Karu left, Robin also spoke at this time.
"Then I'll leave first. Bye..."
Without even waiting for anyone to respond, Robin left Luffy and his group.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Luffy and asked.
"What do we do next?"
Luffy touched his belly, laughed, and said casually.
"I'm a little hungry, let's find a restaurant to eat first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, questions rang out.
"I said, you guy, is it time to eat now? We are being watched by the Baroque Studio. If we show up like this, we will definitely be hunted down."
"Yeah! Luffy! We need to at least change our clothes first and go there dressed as ordinary people here. This way we won't attract the attention of the Baroque Studio."
"That's right, Luffy! It's very dangerous to walk out on the street like this."
In response to everyone's dissuasion, Luffy waved his hand directly and said.
"Need not!"
"We are now trying to attract people from Baroque Studio to hunt us down."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned again [looking at Luffy in confusion.
"Why?"
"Isn't Vivi very dangerous? They will definitely come to assassinate Vivi."
Luffy explained.
"Although we have a response plan now, we don't know when Crocodile will start implementing his plan."
“We want to attract people who come to the Baroque Studio and find out the news from their mouths.
"In this way, we can determine the timing of our action."
After listening to Luffy's words, everyone looked suddenly enlightened, and everyone looked at Luffy with eyes filled with sighs.
Compared to Luffy, they simply can't think.
While everyone was stunned, Luffy continued.
"Let's split up first!"
"Go to this town to attract people from the Baroque Studio, and then pry out information from them.
"We will meet back here in three hours."
After receiving Luffy's instructions, everyone dispersed.
Zoro is in a group with Chopper, Sanji is in a group with Usopp, and Nami is in a group with Noki.
Because Vivi is the most dangerous, she follows Luffy.
Four groups of people dispersed at the same time and went to various parts of the town, looking for opportunities to inquire about the time of the Baroque Studio operation.
