Chapter 157 Kosha
Vivi, Sanji, Nami and the cooperating officers entered Cattleya's city under the escort of the rebels.
The inside of the city is still relatively shabby.Many old-fashioned buildings along the street are simply repaired and continue to be used.Residents in the city also serve the rebel army specifically, helping the rebel army transport and manufacture various needed items.
Weiwei can use the cloak she is wearing to cover her face.After all, many people here still know her.When Alabasta was peaceful in the past, people from all parts of the country went to the capital Aruba to worship the king.
So many people in the kingdom know what Weiwei looks like.
If he was exposed casually here, it might trigger an attack by some people who extremely hated the king.
In addition, Weiwei also needs to beware of the people in the Baroque studio, because Wei Wei is the person who knows the culprit of the Alabasta civil war, so the Baroque studio does everything possible to get rid of her.
It is impossible for the Baroque studio not to have placed an undercover agent here with the rebels.
After passing through a section of the urban area, the team passed through a very wide square.Enough to accommodate thousands of people.
Countless people were gathering in this square at this time, and someone was giving a big speech in the center of the square.
"This is..." Weiwei said suddenly, she suddenly remembered something.
Weiwei has also been to most of the cities in the kingdom, and she has also been to Katleaya.However, after the vicissitudes of the civil war, and Cattleya is an old city, it already looks very dilapidated.
But Weiwei can recognize this square.
This square was built by her father, Neferutali Cobra.
It is called "King's Renaissance Plaza".That is to say, Cobra once built this square in order to revive old Alabasta cities like Katlaiya.
Unfortunately, civil war broke out not long after the construction of this square.
The whole country is in terror, not to mention the construction of these old cities.
At the King's Fuxing Square at this time, the speaker stood on a high platform and spoke to thousands of people below.
"Everyone, the king's stupidity has put the country into crisis. We have to resist. A king who only cares about himself and commits absurd acts is not worthy of ruling this country. Neferutari Kobra, a hypocrite, His misbehavior on the throne caused Alabasta to fall into crisis. So we have to overthrow him. In order to monopolize precipitation and strengthen his rule, he actually used dancing powder."
A loud rebellion officer was there relentlessly preaching against the populace the evils of King Cobra's rule.
This is the propaganda offensive of the rebellion. In addition to the battle on the battlefield, the rebel army has incited countless people to hate the king through various propaganda and mobilization.Tens of thousands of people served the rebel army because of this mobilization, which made the strength of the rebel army continue to expand, and eventually it was on the offensive in the civil war.Even a large part of the king's army has become a rebel army.
Weiwei's heart twitched for a while when she heard this, and she turned her face away.
The propaganda on the square continued, and the high-pitched voice of the officer continued to be heard through the loudspeaker.
"Dear people, King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom was overthrown in a revolutionary war. He himself also died a violent death. This is also an inspiration to Alabasta, which is also facing a tyrant's rule. We must let Neferutali. The tyrant Kobra will meet the same fate as Wapol. Please cheer me on."
After the officer's propaganda, thousands of people on the square raised their fists and cheered.
"Down with Kobra"
"Tyrants must die"
"Long live the rebels"
"Justice belongs to us"
"Capture of Arupana"
The shouts were earth-shattering, as if they were about to push everything down.
Weiwei, who was sitting in the carriage, tried her best to cover her ears, but those voices kept coming.
Her beloved father, Dr. Wang, worked hard for the prosperity and development of Alabasta.But because of the evil done by the murderer behind the scenes, the people regard him as a tyrant, and everyone can't wait to get rid of him.
This pain is worse than a thousand cuts.
Sanji looked at the excited crowd with his eyes, and quickly sat down beside Weiwei.
"Vivi, don't be like this. Remember what our purpose is." Sanji said comfortingly.
Weiwei gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back her tears.
"Well, I'm fine." Vivi said.
The procession continued on, passing through some more blocks.It's finally the end.
They came to a white marble building that was full of bullet holes and cracks. Apparently it had been destroyed in the previous civil war.
"Everyone, we have arrived." The officer in charge of escort said.
Vivi, Sanji and Nami looked at the building ahead.
The three of them got off the carriage, and the cooperating officers also got off their horses.
Sanji always vigilantly observes the surroundings, beware of possible dangers.
"Follow me, everyone." The officer continued to lead the way.
This white building was also heavily guarded. The officer walked to the front, and after talking with the fully armed officer, he was allowed to pass.
Vivi, Sanji, Nami and the cooperating officers were able to enter.
Entering the white building, you will soon arrive at the hall.
This hall is full of documents, and some officers of the rebel army work here.
When they saw someone coming in, they all stopped working.
There was a big table at the end of the room, and a young man was sitting there behind it.
He looked at everyone with eyes full of persistence and scrutiny.
Sanji also looked at this man with his right eye under the curled eyebrows, the other's face was very resolute, even a little rough.Obviously it was caused by wind and sand in the desert.He has short hair very neatly. He is wearing a dark red coat behind him, holding a very long sword in his hand, but the sword is always in the scabbard.But the most obvious thing is the scar on the left eye.
Nami on the side was a little uneasy seeing the aura of the people around her.
But to Sanji's surprise, Vivi kept covering her head with her cloak.
The military officer who led the way said: "The leader of Kosha, and other officials, the mediation envoy of Drum Kingdom has arrived."
Kosha waved his hand and said, "Go down."
The officer hurried down.
Sanji looked at this young man named Kosa, who did not expect that he was the leader of the rebel army that swept across Alabasta at a young age.
Kosha looked at everyone, but when his gaze fell on Weiwei, he suddenly trembled for a while.This feeling in the dark is like seeing an old friend.
"You are the mediators of the Cigu Kingdom," Kosha asked first.
Sanji nodded and said, "Exactly. We are here to mediate the civil war in Alabasta."
Kosha looked at Sanji. Although he was the leader of the rebel army, he clearly felt that the other man was a man full of momentum. Able to knock down powerful opponents suddenly.
"You want to mediate, but I can tell you directly that it is still impossible." Although Kosha's tone was calm, he did not mean to waver at all.
"Then you might as well listen to what I have to say." Suddenly Weiwei's voice sounded.
Kosha was stunned.
He was surprised to see that the man Silk had known before pulled the cloak away from his head.
Weiwei, the princess of Alabasta, looked at him right now.
