Chapter 588 That Year, That Month, That Boy

On the east bank of the Saint Dora River, in the camp of the king's army
"This is a great opportunity for a counterattack. The reinforcements have arrived and will be ready to fight after a day of rest. His Majesty Cobra hopes that we can capture Eruma on the other side directly! Draw the rebels' firepower for our allies in the rainy land!"
A man with short straight hair, dark skin and a serious face spoke.
"I understand, Gaka! I'll fly over to scout the positions on the other side. Once we're sure there are no ambushes around, we can prepare to attack!"
Said a man wearing an Arab-style headscarf, dark purple four-pointed star makeup on his eyes, and a white robe with a black four-pointed star pattern on it.
"Well! Then I'll leave it to you, Bell!"
"As the guardian of Alabasta, it is my job to defeat the invaders and find a way to end this war and restore peace to Alabasta!"
Bell said seriously.
"You're right. If we had strong enough power, Alabasta wouldn't have fallen into turmoil. I just blame myself for being too weak as a guardian angel. I can't wipe out the damn Barot Workshop on my own!"
Gaka said a little frustrated.
"Jaka! Baroque Studio has so many powerful senior agents, and there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary members who are now coercing disaster-stricken people from all over the country to join the rebels. The total number is probably hundreds of thousands. How can anyone solve it on their own? The power of one person is limited. You are not fighting alone. Look at it more positively and don't make it too hard on yourself."
Bell patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Uh-huh!"
Jiaka nodded and did not continue to argue, but he did not completely agree in his heart.
The power to easily destroy a country with one's own strength is real! He and the deceased old man Kit had the honor of experiencing it personally. No, he had only seen it. Only old man Kit had experienced it personally. He was defeated by a mount.
Jiaka often couldn't help but think, if he could be as strong as that guy, then he would definitely be able to wipe out the Baroque Studio on his own!
Damn it!
He had clearly felt the huge gap between his own strength and the truly powerful ones on the sea a long time ago. In order not to experience that feeling of powerlessness again, he had never dared to relax for a moment in the past twenty years. He tried his best to catch up with those guys who caused him psychological trauma, but he found that he could not reach them at all.
It seemed like something had changed and yet nothing had changed. I had indeed become much stronger than before, but I was certain that if I met those guys again, I would still be ruthlessly killed instantly. Moreover, so many years had passed, and it was impossible for the other party to have made no progress. They must have become stronger. I saw in the newspaper that the guy who looked like a devil seemed to have become the emperor of the sea who even the World Government and the Navy were unwilling to mess with.
"Master Gaka, Master Bell! Two civilians came outside and said they have important military information to report to you two masters!"
Just as Gakka was in a daze, a soldier came to the tent to report.
"Civilians? Important military intelligence?"
Gaka and Bell looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"Yes! They said it was... extremely urgent."
The soldier lowered his head and whispered.
He touched the 100,000 Baileys that the other party had given him in his arms, and thought that they must be very anxious for such a large sum of money.
After exchanging glances, Gaka and Bale nodded to reach a consensus.
"Bring them here!"
Gaka ordered.
"Yes!"
As soon as the soldier received the order and left, the two men began to check the weapons on their bodies. They had already guessed that the person coming might be an assassin, because assassinating commanders was a common tactic used by the Baroque Studio.
"Da da da!"
The sound of footsteps came from far to near.
Seeing that a man and a woman walked in, Jaca and Bell became more convinced of their judgment, because according to the intelligence they had investigated, the senior agents of the Barlotte Studio all worked as a pair of men and women.
"Wow? What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect it would be you two."
The man with a turban on his face said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jaka and Bell put their hands on the handles of the swords at their waists.
It's really a thorn...
"Hey, Ayusa, you should be able to rest assured after you tell them your information, right?"
Ger said with a smile.
"Hmm! Great! It's the two guardian gods, Jacka the Jackal and Bell the Falcon, themselves!"
Ayusa said excitedly.
"My two guardian gods, I have important information to tell you. The Shichibu Haisha Crocodile is a bad guy. He is the boss behind the Baroque Studio! You must be careful!"
"what?!"
Gaka and Bell both widened their eyes in surprise when they heard this.
Crocodile is the boss behind the Baroque Studio?!
Just by hearing such explosive information, they could not help but break out in a cold sweat, and thinking about it in detail was even more terrifying!
Bell asked anxiously with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Impossible! Crocodile has been helping us fight against Baroque Studio for so many years! How could he be the boss of Baroque Studio? How did you get this information?"
Ayusa turned around and pointed at Geer and told the truth.
"It's true, he told me personally, he wouldn't lie to me!"
? ?
There is a question mark over Gaca and Bale?
I thought, are you guys kidding us?
Geer somewhat helplessly summarized the following six points...
"Oh, this is such a headache, Ayusa, how can anyone believe you if you say that?"
Ger sighed, then slowly took off his headscarf and said.
"Jaka, right? Do you remember me? We met many years ago."
"you are?"
Jaka looked puzzled at first, then his whole body trembled. He was even more shocked than when he heard that Crocodile was the owner of Baroque Studio!
"Yes! It's you! How could you…"
Jiaka opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Twenty years ago, the leader of that "terrorist gang" was the young man sitting on the head of a whale under the moonlight in the desert!
"Hahaha, it seems you still remember it, but your respected Majesty Cobra didn't seem to remember what I said at that time!"
Ger smiled.
"Clang!"
"Gaka? What's wrong? Who are they? Are they enemies?"
Seeing that the usually steady Gaka was so panicked and out of control after seeing the other person's face, Bell couldn't help but frown, and he vigilantly drew the sword at his waist.
"Stop it, Bell! Don't!"
Jiaka was horrified and hurriedly shouted to stop him.
