Chapter 22 _ respective opponents

At the gate of the capital city of Arabasta, the king's army is waiting in full force. They got the news from the captain of the guard, Carter, that there will be a rebel army attacking today.

Leading the charge is the army commander of the King's Army, Galio. He was pacing up and down the city gate. He has been hesitant since Kart came back from Yuba yesterday.

　　" You said, if the rebel army is really here, who are we helping? " Galio asked his lieutenant Baker with a frown.

　　" How many times have you seen the king in the past six months? " Baker asked a question he didn't want to do. " What state was he in when he saw the king? "

Galio was lost in thought. In the past six months, he did not see the king as much as when the old king was on the throne, but he still met once a week, as if … it was no different?

　　" Every time the king sees us, I have a feeling that he's holding back, " Baker said. " Besides, Lord Beards is by the king's side every time we meet. This kind of thing has never happened before. "

　　" You mean …" Galio understood Baker's meaning. " Then do we still need to intercept the rebels? "

　　" It should be intercepted or intercepted, but it's better not to start a war easily. Let's talk about it. Doto, you are not unfamiliar, he must have guessed something. " Baker's logic is very clear.

Behind a sand dune not far from the gate of the royal capital, everyone jumped off the fast running duck and gathered together to discuss the way to enter the city.

They decided to pretend to be a business traveler from afar to enter the city, then Carpenter and Nusi went to collect healing power, and the three of Bit went to the palace.

Everyone left the fast running duck and swaggered towards the city gate.

　　" Who are you! Galio at the city gate shouted and asked.

　　" They are passing merchants who are planning to come here to buy some specialties to take home! " Carpenter shouted from under the city gate, " I am Carpenter of El Maru! The tour guide they hired! "

　　" There's going to be a war here! Go somewhere else! " Galio continued from above. He was thinking about the safety of the group.

　　" What! There's going to be a war! " Bit yelled suddenly . " Good sir, please let us take refuge in the city! "

Galio was about to refuse when he was pulled by Baker. " Promise them, that Carpenter has studied the seawater for months and can be trusted. "

Galio nodded, then notified the guard to open the door and let the group in.

　　"I didn't expect them to be so deceiving! " Roger said with a smile. " It's so easy to let us in! "

　　" No, it's not that they are easy to deceive, they did it on purpose, " Van Pica said. At this time, his hand unconsciously rubbed the long cloth bag in his hand. His sniper rifle is hidden inside.

　　" Okay, then let's split up and act. You go to raise funds for healing power, and we go to defeat cp9 . " Roger took two quick steps, turned his head to look at everyone and said.

　　" Then you have to be careful! " Nusi said worriedly. The espionage agency cp9 under the world government is terrifying to hear.

　　" Be careful too, don't forget that CP9 has a pub in the city. " Bit also reminded.

At the entrance of the palace, the three of them looked a little confused at the unguarded palace. The king's residence has not even a gatekeeper?

Moreover, there is only one breath of life in the palace. They had an ominous foreboding. Could it be …

Roger stepped forward first and pushed open the gate of the palace.

A bloody smell rushed to the face, and even these three men with big hearts could not help but sniffle. The three of them burst out with a huge murderous aura almost at the same time, and Roger, who has always been hip-hop, was no exception.

　　" I've never wanted to kill someone as much as I do today. " Roger said as he took the lead as he walked inside. " O evil world government! "

Everyone walked through the square in front of the palace, and along the way, there were corpses that had cut off their lives, including the guards, servants, female relatives, ministers, and everyone of the kingdom. Everyone in the palace was tragically killed by the sword.

When the three pushed open the gate of the palace, a more dignified smell of blood floated out from inside. " Intoxicating taste, isn't it? " A voice came from the hall, it was Carter.

Carter sat on the throne, and the two piles of corpses displayed on both sides of the hall were all guards. " I asked them to assemble here, and they did assemble here, " Carter said, shaking his head. " It's so stupid. "

Bit tore off his big robe, revealing the big black knife behind him. " you go first roger and I'll take his head off. "

He pulled out the big black knife and walked to the front of Carter step by step. " I didn't die in the desert, so it's your turn. "

Carter jumped off the throne and confronted Bit. "I didn't expect you to be alive, you won't be so lucky this time. "

　　" Where's the king? " Bit asked.

Carter raised his chin toward his left side. " Where's the King's Tomb in Arabasta. What, can't your buddy wait to die? "

　　" My partner, it's not your time to worry about it! " Bit snorted, rushed up and slashed with a knife. Carter raised his arms to cover Bit's attack.

Roger and Van Pika took advantage of the situation and rushed out, leaving the palace. They have to race against time to rescue the king.

In the small square in front of the mausoleum, Roger, who was walking in front, suddenly had a new warning sign, his entire face suddenly turned black, and then a shock hit him on the forehead.

Van pika, who was behind him, also reacted quickly. Following Roger's action, he fired a shot, and a figure collapsed from the grass.

　　" Bildas said someone might come here, let me block it here, and sure enough someone came. "

Jumping out of the grass was a thin, lean man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a neatly sized black suit.

　　" Introduce myself, I'm Beasley, the king's advisor. This is the private cemetery of the Alabasta royal family, please move to another place. " Beasley said politely. There's no way anyone can connect him to the guy who just shot the black gun.

　　" Can you handle it? " Roger asked in a low voice. Based on his ability to hide his breath just now, Roger could sense that the person in front of him was not simple.

　　" Yes ," Van pika replied . A burst of rapid fire followed Beasley. Roger also took this opportunity to run over. Not surprisingly, only the king and the Minister of State Bildas, who had heard about it several times, were in front of him.

The main spiritual room of the mausoleum was getting closer and closer, and Roger also sensed that powerful aura, that was his opponent.

When Roger found the entrance to the underground palace following the breath, Bildas had already walked up. He also carried the dying Alabasta king Kobra in his hand.

　　" I know you, Gol D. Roger , the pirate with a bounty of fifty million. " Bildas, who had been lurking in Alabasta for ten years, knew Roger's identity very well. It has to be said that it was a miracle.

He casually threw Cobra aside. Roger ignored him. Because under the influence of Roger's domineering experience, he is still alive.

　　" My bounty just came out a few days ago, how did you know? " Roger asked.

　　" Ah, the news from the world government said that the legendary hero of the navy, Garp, asked the intelligence department to focus on searching your tracks. " Bildas looked a little excited.

　　" You said, what kind of expression does Garp have when he sees your head! Hahahaha! " Bildas laughed wildly.

It was as If Roger was already in his pocket.
