Great Voyage: Luffy’s voyage is revealed at the beginning Chapter 064

Chapter 64: Ling Long’s Fury

Two days later.

Ling Long, who was taking a nap in the hotel, was suddenly woken up by Nami, who quickly said, “Ling Long, the King of Alabasta is here.”

“The King is here?”

Ling Long’s sleepiness instantly vanished. She sat up abruptly from the bed, her eyes glinting slightly, and she smiled, “Then let’s go take a look too.”

…

The street was packed with people. King Cobra, leading a large group of soldiers, was confronting the residents of Nanohana.

At this moment, King Cobra stood at the forefront, while the soldiers behind him looked at the enraged civilians opposite them with mocking expressions.

On the rooftop of a tall building on the street, Nami turned to Ling Long, frowning, and said, “Ling Long, the atmosphere seems a bit off.”

Because she arrived late, Nami didn’t know what had happened before, but looking at the King’s attitude, it seemed like he was deliberately provoking the civilians.

So, why would the King do this?

Was he unhappy that the war wasn’t breaking out fast enough?

Ling Long took a deep look at Cobra below and smiled, “We’ll know if we keep watching.”

“You ignorant commoners, do you have an opinion of me, your King?”

Cobra spoke slowly with an arrogant expression, “That’s why I came to Nanohana to apologize. What else do you expect?”

A civilian glared at Cobra opposite him, resentfully saying, “My younger brother died in Yuba.”

Cobra ignored him and said, “I came here specifically for another purpose. As you know, Dance Powder is forbidden by the World Government.

If this matter is leaked, Marine Headquarters will dispatch forces, and Alabasta will be destroyed. Therefore, this must be avoided.”

“Two years ago, a large amount of Dance Powder smuggling was discovered in this city. I must erase this matter. Do you understand what I mean?”

As he spoke, Cobra’s face grew colder, his emotionless gaze sweeping over the civilians opposite him, as if looking at a group of dead people.

“Could it be?”

The civilians’ faces were extremely grim, their backs drenched in cold sweat, and their hearts filled with fear.

“That’s right, to forever bury that disgusting incident…”

Cobra stared at the nervous citizens opposite him, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he loudly declared, “Therefore, I will erase you along with this city.”

“What?”

“Even if it’s the King’s order, we cannot obey…”

…

On the rooftop, Nami frowned deeply, growing more and more puzzled. According to rumors, wasn’t Cobra a rare wise ruler?

Why would he do such a thing?

Was it all an act?

However, Cobra’s actions were too strange. At the brink of a civil war, even if Cobra was an idiot, he wouldn’t do something like this, would he?

This would incite the anger of the entire nation, pushing himself to be an enemy of the people. Was Cobra unhappy that he wasn’t dying fast enough?

“Bang~”

Just as Nami was thinking, a small boy was kicked away by Cobra, landing heavily in front of the civilians.

Nami saw the blood at the corner of the boy’s mouth, and her face instantly turned cold. This Cobra was truly beyond saving. It would be better for such a kingdom to be destroyed quickly.

Nami stopped thinking and watched quietly. Not long after, a man named Koza came galloping on a reddish-brown horse.

It was clear that the man named Koza seemed very angry, constantly questioning King Cobra, his words filled with disappointment.

Soon after, a gunshot rang out, and Koza fell to the ground.

With Cobra’s command, the Royal Army began to act, rushing towards the civilians opposite. Flaming rockets were shot towards the surrounding buildings.

For a time, the entire street descended into chaos, with shouts of battle and screams rising and falling.

Houses on both sides of the street burst into roaring flames, and thick smoke continuously billowed into the sky.

…

Nami looked at the massacre below, sighed slightly, and said, “Ling Long, this country is beyond saving.”

Ling Long narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled, “Do you remember something I told you? The eyes are an organ that can deceive people.”

The eyes are an organ that can deceive people. What you see may not necessarily be the truth!

Nami was startled and carefully scrutinized Cobra below, asking, “Ling Long, are you saying this Cobra is fake?”

“I don’t know if he’s real or fake, but since Cobra is known as a wise ruler, he certainly can’t be an idiot.”

Ling Long picked up a Den Den Mushi for photography, took a few photos, and said, “Cobra isn’t stupid, how could he do something self-destructive at such a critical moment?”

Ling Long certainly knew that this Cobra was fake, and also knew that he was impersonated by Mr. 2 using the abilities of the Clone-Clone Fruit, but it wasn’t appropriate to say it.

This was the fuse for the outbreak of the major war, and Ling Long naturally wouldn’t expose it.

Nami nodded thoughtfully and said, “So, this Cobra is fake, or is there another hidden reason?”

Suddenly, Nami’s eyes lit up slightly, and she said, “Ling Long, could it be that Cobra doesn’t want too many people to die, so he deliberately did this?

If Cobra’s reputation is ruined, the entire Royal Army will defect. Then Cobra alone will bear all the blame, and a major war won’t break out.”

The more Nami thought about it, the more sense it made. If the entire Royal Army defected, Cobra would have no army, and then there would be no major war, and no one would have to die.

At that time, Cobra would only need to announce his surrender and bear all the blame, and Alabasta would safely pass through this disaster.

This Cobra truly deserved to be called a wise ruler. For the lives of his citizens, he didn’t hesitate to ruin his own reputation. This was truly rare.

“…”

Ling Long was speechless. If he didn’t know the inside story, he might have been convinced by Nami.

Ling Long was silent for a moment, then vaguely said, “Perhaps, that’s how it is?”

“Boom…”

Just then, a huge crash came from the direction of the port. A giant sailing ship crashed into the port, flew up, and smashed towards the street below.

Port?

A red light flashed in Ling Long’s eyes, and he instantly activated his Observation Haki. In an instant, Ling Long’s face became extremely grim.

“How dare you, you actually dared to damage my news ship!”

A cold glint flickered in Ling Long’s eyes. The long sword at his waist instantly unsheathed. In a flash, the blade was covered in golden energy, emitting an incredibly dangerous aura.

“Hakoku!”

The world instantly lost its color. Amidst the howling winds, a golden light illuminated the entire sky.

People looked up to see a golden spiral-shaped sword energy streak across the sky in an instant, like an enormous golden light pillar, fiercely striking the giant sailing ship.

“Boom…”

With a loud bang, the giant sailing ship flying in the sky was instantly pierced by the golden light pillar, then exploded with a roar, turning into countless fragments that scattered onto the street below.

“They just died? That’s too easy for you.”

In Ling Long’s Observation Haki, Mr. 1 and his partner on the ship didn’t even have time to escape. They were instantly hit by Hakoku and crushed into dust.

On the street, Cobra’s face changed drastically when he saw such a terrifying scene. He looked up at Ling Long on the rooftop and hurriedly ran towards outside the city.
