Chapter 578 Dark and windy night
...
The two of them just lay on the roof and stared at the starry sky for a while.
The starry sky in the desert at night is dazzling, scattered like diamonds on the vast sky. The stars are dotted like countless pairs of eyes watching this mysterious land, which makes people intoxicated.
"What a beautiful starry sky! Do you like it?"
Geer couldn't help but sigh.
"dislike!"
Ayusa answered without giving any face.
"Cough cough!"
Gel coughed tactically, somewhat awkwardly.
Ayusa explained with a smile.
"If you ask anyone here about this, no one will say they like it, because the brighter the stars and the moon are at night, the less likely it is to rain tomorrow. We prefer rain to the beautiful starry sky. 'Ayu' and 'Sha' are the sounds of rain. Even my name means I hope it rains!"
"I see. Don't worry, the rain will definitely fall."
Gel suddenly realized and then started to ask about the business.
"By the way, Ayusa, do you know how far this place is from the capital of Alabasta? Or which city is closer?"
Ayusa looked a little disappointed, but she didn't seem surprised that Geer would leave her soon. She thought about it and spoke.
"We are very far from Aruba. I don't know if it will take a month to get there by foot. The nearest city should be the port city of Rapeseed in the west, but I heard that it has been occupied by a company. It's very dangerous!"
"company??"
Ger looked puzzled.
"Yes! It's a criminal company called Baroque Studio. I heard from others that they recruited a lot of pirates and criminals to form a rebel army. Their goal is to overthrow the rule of the Alabasta royal family and establish an ideal kingdom of freedom and democracy."
"what?"
What's happening here?
Isn't the Baroque work of the Sand Crocodile a secret criminal gang?
How did it all come out in the open? Did it just flip the table and jump the other way?
Ayusa continued.
"They have now occupied many towns on the east bank of the Santa Dora River, and on the west side of the Santa Dora River, except for the "Rainy Land" which has not fallen because of the protection of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, all other places have been occupied by the company's rebels!"
Geer was confused and quickly stood up and grabbed Ayusa's shoulders and asked.
"What does the flag of the Bra Chamber of Commerce that you are doing business with look like? Ayusa, tell me quickly."
Found that this Alabasta was completely different from the plot in his memory? Gol was anxious to confirm whether he had traveled to another parallel pirate world?
"It's a red flag with a whale pattern on it. It's golden and very pretty."
Ayusa held Geer's hand and drew on his palm with her index finger.
That’s right, this is indeed the Labu Chamber of Commerce that I founded, and I didn’t go to the wrong set.
It seems that although I have disappeared for a long time, the impact I have caused to this world has still led to some inevitable changes in many plots.
Gel breathed a sigh of relief, as if he hadn't woken up alone.
"I don't know why, but in the past few years, Alabasta has been divided by the Saint Dora River. The west has had plenty of rain and the harvest has been getting better and better. But here in the east, we haven't had a drop of rain in three years and can't grow a single grain of food. The rebels are spreading the word that it's because the Nefertari royal family did a bad job and angered the gods, so the gods are punishing them! They're calling on the people to go to the west and join the rebels to overthrow the Nefertari dynasty."
"There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. It's obvious that the Baroque Studio has done something to stop it from raining in the east."
Ger spoiled.
"Yes, that's what the mayor said. I think everyone should know it clearly in their hearts, because His Majesty Cobra has always been very good to the people. It's not as bad as they say. But everyone is forced to do so. It hasn't rained in the east, so they either go to the west to join the rebels or stay here and starve to death. If it weren't for the supplies brought by the Bra Chamber of Commerce, there might be no one left in the east of Alabasta now."
Ayusa said helplessly with a bitter face.
Gel nodded without asking what Cobra and the King's Army were doing since half of the country had been occupied.
In the face of absolute strength, strategy can only play a very small role. What's more, Crocodile not only crushes Cobra in strength, but also lags far behind him in strategy. So it is inevitable that he is played around by the opponent.
"Alas~ Now we can only hope that His Majesty Cobra and Lord Crocodile can put down the rebellion as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if it really rains, it won't solve Alabasta's predicament."
Ayusa shrugged and said.
"Well, Ayusa, you might be disappointed. If I say that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is actually the boss behind Baroque Studio, would you believe it? I guess his purpose is to wait for the rebels to kill the king's army, and then pretend to defeat the rebels and become the savior of Alabasta, and naturally rule the country."
Gel calmly told a shocking secret, thinking in his heart that Crocodile really knows how to play.
"what?"
Ayusa was shocked at first, then spoke in a firm tone.
"Is that so? I didn't expect that Crocodile was actually a bad guy? No, I have to tell the Royal Army and His Majesty Cobra about this."
"It's normal for you not to believe it... huh? Why did you believe it so quickly?"
Ger was a little surprised.
"Well, because I believe you, you will definitely not lie to me."
Ayusa said seriously.
"Ayusa, there is one thing I haven't told you. I am actually the big boss behind the Bra Chamber of Commerce."
Ger twitched his eyebrows and said in a joking tone.
"what!"
"That's great. Can I get more supplies in exchange for saving their boss?"
Ayusa said happily.
Ger was stunned.
I didn't expect this little girl to be so conscious. She believed everything I said. This made me feel a little embarrassed to trick her into going home with me in the evening to see my pet cat.
...
Late night
in the dark
"Ger, hurry up, please hurry up."
"No, Ayusa, you are so amazing!"
Gol gasped.
The two took advantage of the dark night
...
Walking in the vast desert.
Gel didn't expect that when he learned that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of Baroque Studio, Ayusa really decided to rush to the front line to tell the Royal Army the news, and packed her luggage overnight and set off immediately.
The mayor originally didn't believe Ayusa's words that there was urgent military information and they had to notify the royal army. Later, after Gel searched for a long time and found a token of the Bula Chamber of Commerce, the mayor immediately said that the information from the Bula Chamber of Commerce was absolutely reliable, and told the two to go without worry, as he would take good care of his old mother at home.
