Chapter 131 The Mythical Beast Sea Cat and the 1-for-2 Plan
The general plan has been finalized, and the next step is how to specifically lure the snake out of the hole.
However, the situation in Alabasta is changing randomly, so everyone has been talking for many days based on intelligence and finally came up with a reasonable action plan.
Five days passed quickly, and this powerful fleet finally arrived in the waters near Alabasta.
On the morning of the sixth day, Roger stood on the deck of the Victory Banner.
The surrounding dry sea breeze is constantly blowing on his face, and now he has reached the sea near Alabasta.The air here is extremely dry.
Also on the deck, Sanji and Weiwei, Chopper and Usopp were observing the surroundings.
Usopp kept talking to Chopper.
"The air here is getting drier and hotter. It's very different from the air on Magnetic Drum Island." Chopper touched the fluff on his face and said.
Usopp put his hands on his chest, looked around and said: "The weather here is also very dry, it seems that there are few clouds in the sky. I'm afraid the precipitation will not be too rich. It's like the one where Captain Usopp was born. The island, where the climate is warm and the precipitation is abundant, but the heroic Captain Usopp couldn't bear the loneliness and insisted on going to the sea for a great adventure."
With an expression of appreciation on his face, Chopper said, "You are so brave."
"Of course, Captain Usopp is no ordinary person. You are from the Ice and Snow Kingdom, so you must have adapted to the climate here." Usopp said.
"Ah, it's true that my body is not heat-resistant. After all, I have too much hair. But it's okay. Because I have a strong endurance. And I will drink some body nutrients to make the body in a dry and hot environment. It's still cooler in the middle," Chopper said.
Usopp looked at Chopper and said, "You look like a child, but are you capable?"
Chopper added: "The Alabasta we are going to is a desert kingdom. Can we encounter any adventures there?"
"Adventure? For Captain Usopp, I have encountered almost all kinds of adventures. But this is my first time in the desert area. However, there are legendary desert thieves and man-eating demons in the desert. , there are sand that can dry people out, ants that eat people, and even plants that eat people." Usopp said.
After hearing this, Chopper's expression changed and he said with some fear: "It's so scary."
Usopp patted his chest and said again: "It is bound to be dangerous in the desert. However, I, Captain Usopp, will resolutely protect everyone."
During the surprising discussions between Chopper and Usopp, these two living treasures were looking forward to the desert adventure, but also a little scared.
Compared to the conversation between Chopper and Usopp, Luffy jumped to the top of the mast to look at it.
This lively guy is never tired.
Sauron practiced his sword on the flat area at the stern, and used the three blades in his hand in turn. In this hot and dry air, the blades could meet more quickly.
"The climate here is not bad. It is really tiring to wield a blade in the Drum Kingdom. So much wind, snow and cold air have weakened my sword skills." Sauron said, staring at the word "Hedao" in his hand.
Rogge, Sanji and Weiwei were all watching the distance from the front of the ship's deck.
Looking north from here.
In the distance where the sea and the sky meet, a shadow of land slowly appears.
Roger saw the land, and then said: "It seems that we are almost there."
"Well, is that Alabasta?" Sanji also asked.
Weiwei looked at the land in the sky.
"Indeed, this is Alabasta. My motherland." Weiwei said with a heavy tone.
It had been a long time since she had seen this coastline again.
In the eyes of everyone, this land is getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Vers, who was wearing the uniform of the fleet commander, also came over.
"Is this Alabasta?" Vers asked.
"Indeed." Vivi said.
"Then we can follow the plan later..." Vers was talking.
Before the conversation was over, suddenly the sea ahead shook.
A huge object protruded from the sea mixed with sea water.
Rogge, Sanji, and Vers all had weird faces, as if an unknown creature came out of the sea.
Usopp and Chopper were a little surprised.
Weiwei's face was complicated, as if she remembered something.
A huge creature, more than fifty meters tall, protruded from the sea.
The body of this creature is a torpedo, covered with scales.The head and upper body are a giant cat.
This is the sea cat, a sea king creature.
"Oh my god monster" Chopper shouted as he jumped on Usopp in surprise.
"Cat-headed sea monster" Usopp said in surprise.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Sanji's eyes widened too, his curly eyebrows curled up.
"What is this?" Sanji asked in shock.
Rogge looked at the huge sea cat, and sighed in his heart that such an exaggerated creature existed.
Vers and some nearby officers looked at Sea Cat in shock.
"It's the Sea King type, prepare the bow artillery," Vers ordered using the phone bug he carried with him.
The bow of the Victory Banner has a double-mounted double-door heavy-duty battleship turret with a diameter of one meter and a length of more than ten meters.Immediately locked onto the huge sea cat that appeared in front of him.
Two heavy battleship guns aimed straight at Sea Cat.
The sea cat had a dull expression at the beginning, but quickly felt that it had caused some trouble, and acted a little scared.
"and many more"
Weiwei quickly stopped Fans from giving orders.
"Look, it won't hurt others. This is a sea cat, a mythical beast in Alabasta. It's very docile, as gentle as a real cat. Don't hurt it, it's a mythical beast of the people of Alabasta. Often Help maintain the balance of marine life here." Wei Wei explained to Vers and others.
Rogge looked at the bewildered sea cat, and quickly said to Vers: "Please stop the attack order immediately."
Vers looked at the sea cat, it didn't seem to be aggressive.
"Pause Attack"
Vers lifted the attack order.
The sea cat in front of it was only now recovering, and when it realized something was wrong, it hurriedly threw itself into the sea again and stayed away from the fleet.Never dared to approach these powerful warships again.
After a crisis was resolved, Weiwei also took a breath.
"Okay, everyone. Let's move on." Weiwei said.
Vers also nodded, and said: "Okay, according to the plan we have discussed over the past few days. We will divide into two routes and head to Kingdom Newport on the northwest coast ahead. The other route will continue to Rapeseed Flowers."
There are two large ports on the southern coast of Alabasta.
Among them, the one to the east is the old port rapeseed flower. To the west is Kingdom New Port, a new port built by the kingdom before the tragic civil war.
It is precisely because Kingdom Newport is closer to the inland rainlands that it is more likely to attract Crocodile here. And because we want to alleviate the civil war situation, we need to go to Rapeseed Flowers. So the fleet split into two and took action.
