The sky is clear and the sun is high.

There was no sign of rain.

That's right, rain is scarce in Alabasta, not to mention that dancing powder was used here many times a few years ago, but now it has suffered a certain degree of backlash, and it hasn't rained for a long time.

The rebels moved very fast. As soon as Luffy and others arrived, they saw countless cavalry and infantry, holding sharp swords and axes, or more lethal firecrackers, artillery shells and other objects.

, shouted and came in to kill.

Smoke and dust were billowing in front of them, shouts filled the sky, and all the people they could see were dressed similarly and had similar expressions. Their eyes were firm and their faces were solemn. They were neither happy nor sad, only full of anger.

"How many people are there?!" Nami's eyes froze when she saw a war of this scale for the first time.

Chopper said: "I heard from that Lili that the number of rebels exceeds 2 million..."

2 million, there are only 10 million citizens in the entire Alabasta, and the Royal Army has about 600,000, which means that this war directly involves more than a quarter of the country's population, and this does not include the old, weak, sick and disabled

If you are young, then maybe more than 80% of the country's young and strong people are here.

Hearing this terrifying figure, even Luffy and others couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, but they would not make any concessions on what they had decided to do.

High in the sky, Marcus was eating grilled chicken wings and lying on the edge of the flying carpet looking down. When his eyes fell on Luffy and the others, he felt a heartfelt admiration.

"They dare to directly intervene in a large-scale war involving 2.7 million people for the sake of their partners. These people really value love and justice..."

Romeo lay next to him, constantly putting potato chips in his mouth with his hands. At the same time, his eyes were dazzled and he exclaimed: "So awesome! So handsome! Are all pirates like this?"

"No! They are just an exception!" The old father Makao hit his son on the forehead with his fist, and then blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth, "But they are indeed handsome!"

Old smoker Wakaba echoed: "That's right! Whether it's the group of young and chivalrous pirates or the princess who is constantly striving for self-improvement, they are all equally touching!!"

The two middle-aged men started crying as they talked, which made the girls feel dizzy.

"Kira, how long do you have to prepare?"

At this time, Kira was sitting cross-legged on the flying carpet with his eyes closed and concentrating. If his back was not straight, it would be basically the same as falling asleep.

But in fact, Kira really wasn't asleep, he was just feeling the energy in the air and trying to use it freely.

Suddenly, Kira suddenly opened his eyes. His sky-blue eyes complemented the blue sky behind him, as if he had become one with nature. His body was full of rich magic power, and he looked extremely moving.

"Almost! Look at me next... Huh?! They've already started fighting??"

Below, the leader of the rebel army, Kosha, led the charge.

This time, no members of the Baroque Working Group deliberately caused trouble and provoked war among the royal army. Weiwei's figure appeared directly in front of the rebel army. She spread her arms wide and shouted loudly, vowing to single-handedly stop the thousands of people in front of her.

Thousands of troops.

‘Weiwei?! Why is she here??!’ The moment he saw the person blocking his way, Kosha’s expression suddenly changed.

Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, the long flowing blue hair and the stubborn and resolute face have always lingered in Kousha's heart and have never been forgotten. The two used to be playmates and close friends. Unfortunately, they haven't seen each other for many years. Now one of them is still a princess.

The other one has become the leader of the rebel army.

Although they were less than a hundred meters apart, they seemed to be separated by a sadly thick barrier.

"Everyone stop! Listen to me..." Weiwei opened her mouth and shouted loudly. Unfortunately, the shaking ground beneath her feet and the roaring in front of her completely drowned out the sixteen-year-old girl's voice.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Charge forward!!"

"For the future of the country, we must not let the king go!!"

"This is the last battle!! Charge!!"

"..."

On the city wall, Bell, who had just arrived, met Gaga and brought back the news that "Princess Vivi has returned after defeating Crocodile with the help of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"You said Princess Weiwei is outside the south gate?!"

When Jaka learned from Bell that Weiwei was preparing to persuade the leader of the rebel army to stop the war outside the south gate, his expression suddenly changed, he stepped forward, grabbed his old friend by the collar, and shouted angrily, "You

How could you let her be in such a dangerous place?!"

"This is Princess Weiwei's decision! You know her character, I won't listen to my advice at all, and those pirates are also following her in their mischief!"

After Bell finished conveying the news, he turned into the falcon form again and turned around to fly in the direction of Weiwei. "Anyway, you heard it. No matter what happens, you must not launch an attack! This is Princess Weiwei's order!"

"hateful!"

…

'Damn it!! Why are you in that place... Weiwei?!'

With his old friend in front of him, Kosha had no time to think. He gritted his teeth and made a decision that shocked even him.

I saw him quickly pulling out the sword in his hand, and then loudly commanding to the rear: "Don't scatter, everyone! Concentrate your fire on the south gate! Then open all the doors from the inside!!"

Weiwei was stunned. At that moment, her heart felt cold.

The girl fell to her knees with a 'pop' sound, and tears as big as pearls fell from her eyes unsatisfactorily: "Why... why..."

Why is it that no one among the 2 million rebels in front of her can hear her voice!

Endless despair wanders in the girl's heart, but fortunately, she has a group of reliable partners behind her.

Snap!

A big hand pressed on Weiwei's shoulder: "Your voice... we heard it!!"

The familiar voice stopped Vivi's crying. She raised her head suddenly and looked ahead in disbelief. She saw Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper, all lined up in a row.

Stand tall before him.

There are only five people, but their backs look so reliable, and their weight is far greater than even the strongest gold barrier in the world.

"Everyone...wait! Everyone, don't you want to fight them?"

In an instant, Weiwei's nose became sore and tears flowed again, but soon she realized the decision made by Luffy and others, which was to risk their lives to stop the two million people in front of them, so Weiwei's heart suddenly

Be firm again.

"Let me try again! They are..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Luffy: "Weiwei, I said it before! This is war! Immortality is impossible!"

"If someone must die, then I should do it! I am the princess of this country. If my death can bring the war to an end..."

"Your death may not quell the war, but may intensify it! If you die, everything you have done before will be meaningless!!"

Luffy's words made Weiwei stunned.

"We agreed before, you have to put our lives on the line! Besides..."

Under Weiwei's crystal moist gaze, Luffy pressed the hat on his head, and then suddenly grinned, "I won't die!"

…

As they gradually approached the south gate, the rebels at the front finally discovered the anomaly ahead: "Chief! Those people in front..."

"Don't worry about them! Go around! Our goal is only the south gate!!"

"Ah...but that person seems to be Princess Weiwei!?"

"This is war! Don't you even have this awareness??! We... are already enemies!!"

The closer they got, the stronger the rebel army became. The horses and camels galloping in the desert, without any sign of stopping, sprinted straight towards the south gate, until the moment when the two sides intertwined...

"Rubber rubber..."

"Three-sword style..."

"Shourou..."

"Must kill..."

"Strengthening..."

At the critical moment, there were 2 million rebels, tens of thousands of soldiers stationed at the south gate, and the Straw Hats. The world in everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, then darkened, and then thousands of thick blue thunders surrounded by three people fell from the sky.

The thunder pillars split several times in mid-air, turning into dense thunderstorms that were a thousand times more numerous but thinner. They fell scatteredly on the rebel army like a violent storm, causing the 2 million army to stop in an instant.

Boom!!

A thick bolt of lightning without splitting struck accurately between Luffy's group and the rebels who were about to collide with them. Sand and rocks flew instantly, and a plume of smoke and dust several meters high exploded on the desert.

"Nani?!"

"lightning?!"

Everyone looked horrified. The strange weather they had never seen before made them lose their minds for a moment: "What is going on??! There has never been such weather in Alabasta!!!"

The next moment, everyone saw dark clouds like ink above their heads, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The pitch-black cumulonimbus clouds with extraordinary dimensions seemed to be one unified body, rising from the nine heavens and pressing down towards Albana... no, towards the entire Alabasta.

The sky has fallen??

Everyone was dumbfounded, raising their heads and staring stupidly at this scene that was beyond imagination.

A sidekick rode a camel and came to Kosa to report: "It's not good! Chief! I just received the news that this dark cloud seems to have covered the entire Alabasta!!"

Another young man who was playing a minor role asked cautiously: "Are you a dancing fan..."
