MTL - Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!-Chapter 249 One Piece
The alliance of pirates is the "Pirate Alliance"!
The so-called pirate alliance, as the name suggests, is an alliance between pirates to achieve a certain purpose.
This seems like a very efficient and reasonable way, but it is not.
Most of the pirates are not "good people" in the conventional sense, so in the pirate alliance, the goals they want to achieve are often different...
Do not.
Strictly speaking, the "first purpose" of most pirates is surprisingly consistent.
- That is "self-interest"!
The pirates of the alliance often look for everything that is good for them in their actions, and strive to push the entire alliance to develop in a direction that is beneficial to them.
In this way, the seemingly indestructible Pirate Alliance has essentially become a loose action that collapses at the touch of a button, and it cannot raise any storms at all.
...
Of course, this is only the "most" case.
The crux of the problem is that those "very few" pirate alliances are true alliances.
The pirates participating in the alliance have a clear purpose and equal strength, and there is no possibility of face-to-face reversal.
At that time, that level of "Pirate Alliance" will be one of the most unstable factors in this sea!
This is a situation that the world government, the navy, and even other pirates don't want to see!
Of course, this naturally includes the Alabasta's messenger.
...
The messenger has served in the Alabasta army for many years, and his knowledge is much wider than that of ordinary people.
That's why he was so surprised by what Rowan just said!
"Who said that the only 'alliance' at sea is the Four Seas Alliance?"
"Pirates...you can also join the alliance..."
——Rowan spoke slowly while sorting out the models of various forces on the sand table.
Of course, the messenger would not think that it was his own ancestor who was trying to confuse him, because he had never seen Ryan Rowan with such a frown.
All along, the [Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan gave others a smiling and kind expression.
When facing the enemy, Ryan Rowan will show a terrifying dominance that is almost crushing, but even so, he is still a gesture of ease during the battle.
The messenger had participated in the battle in the Devil's Triangle Sea.
Even in the face of the legendary pirate——【Golden Lion】Ski, Rowan still had that smiling expression, as if everything was under his control.
...
Of course, it is indeed "as if".
Because after defeating the golden lion, successfully picking up Tom the murloc and the [Son of Demon] Nico Robin, and then returning home, Rowan already showed a certain degree of fatigue.
Indeed, [Golden Dawn] Ryan Rowan is a legend above the sea, but is it not so with [Golden Lion] Skee?
"Legend" is "legend" in the end, it will not fade because of the long history, but at the same time it will not become greater because of time.
"Legend" is not a fine wine!
All in all, the battle of the two sea legends really amazed everyone watching the battle.
...
Time goes back to the present.
The messenger saw Rowan's frown.
The other's eyes stared at the sand table in front of him, as if thinking about something.
"Do not move."
Rowan suddenly opened his mouth and said to the messenger: "Tell the garrisoned troops all over Alabasta to keep their troops on hold and continue their defensive mission!"
"Yes!"
Today's messenger is still full of confusion, but after the conversation with Rowan just now, his heart couldn't help but be covered with a layer of fog.
...
In fact, in the hearts of the messengers, the whole incident was actually very "simple".
The Four Seas Alliance killed the Don Quixote family.
The Don Quixote family has a deal with the Beast Pirates.
The Four Seas Alliance indirectly disrupted the deal between the Beasts Pirates and the Don Quixote family, causing the Beasts Pirates to suffer huge losses or their plans to be completely disrupted.
Therefore, the Beast Pirates will launch a revenge operation against the Four Seas Alliance.
Kaido, the captain of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, is a crazy big pirate.
He did not choose other indirect means to retaliate against the Four Seas Alliance, but directly launched a large-scale war against Alabasta!
- It's over.
It's that simple.
At least the messengers - and even most of the people who stayed in Alabasta to participate in this defense battle thought so.
But now, Rowan's words have provided another possibility for the messenger.
This battle around the siege of Alabasta is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
...
The messengers communicated Rowan's orders to all parts of Alabasta through telephone bugs.
Such a strange order naturally puzzled many soldiers.
The murlocs guarding the village are the warriors of the murlocs and the current king of Alabasta, Kobra himself.
The king could have escaped the war by entering a safe undersea sanctuary, but he chose to stay here and witness the end of the war.
At this moment, the other soldiers were puzzled by Rowan's order.
Even in the fishman village, these soldiers can still feel the strong presence of rapeseed in the port city!
That kind of breath that can't be ignored came from a distance, so that the soldiers couldn't move their eyes at all.
"We...really don't go to support?"
The murloc soldiers hesitated.
With the characteristics of the murlocs themselves, the soldiers of the murlocs will gain extremely strong mobility in the sea.
Therefore, even if they travel far by sea and land, the murloc warriors should be the first reinforcements to arrive.
This is also the main reason why the murloc warriors are only stationed in their own murloc village.
They are not selfish, but they are completely confident that they can rush to the battlefield as soon as the battle breaks out!
But now, because of Rowan's order, these murloc warriors who had already prepared for support were unable to start their operations at all.
"Mr Rowan..."
The murloc warriors are waiting.
"Master Ancestor..."
Cobra, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was thinking.
The ancestors did this, why?
Cobra narrowed his eyes~www.novelbuddy.com~ and began to think about Rowan's intentions.
As the king of a country, Cobra certainly understands the so-called "balance".
Therefore, he is also thinking, since Rowan has shown enough strength to deal with the Beast Pirates, why does the world government still arrange for the navy to come here to step in?
Does the World Government really want to defeat the Beast Pirates?
No, if that were the case, the balance of power on the sea would be disrupted in an instant!
Could it be... that there is another force that intends to intervene in the war that broke out around Alabasta? !
If this is the case, then it can only be a force of the same level as one of the "Four Sovereigns"...
An unpleasant feeling came to Cobra's heart.
And almost at the same time, there were bursts of singing in the ears of Cobra and everyone present.
- That is, a nursery rhyme?
