"?"
Kosha looked back in some surprise. He knew about devil fruits, but why was he given one so suddenly?
"Why so sudden?"
Ikalem cleared his throat, seemingly imitating Cheng Lang's voice. "As a ruler, you don't really need the use of force, but don't forget, the business alliance you want to create, formed by life cards, is incredibly dangerous if everyone possesses a certain life card. Without force, who knows when you might suddenly die."
Kosha thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.
Personal bravery is no match for the country and the army. Even someone as strong as Barrett was defeated by the Demon-Slaying Order in the end. It was not because Barrett was not strong enough, but because he was exhausted of all his ammunition and food.
But at the same time, individual bravery can also change the direction of a country.
If Cheng Lang hadn't suddenly appeared at that time.
The rebel base was controlled by the CP organization and a man named Mr. 3 at that time.
At that time, he didn't even have the ability to resist.
He shuddered at the thought of such a scene.
"What kind of devil fruit is this?" Kosa asked curiously.
"Explosive Fruit, this fruit was specially selected by Cheng Lang."
"Choose? Does he have other fruits?"
Ikalem didn't say much, just nodded quietly.
"This devil fruit is very powerful. If someone gets close to it, it can cause its entire body to explode. Its power is stronger than a cannonball. Eat it and your safety will be guaranteed."
Kosha picked up the devil fruit and then looked at Ikarem: "Don't you need to give it to Cobra? He's in a very bad situation now."
The head of the royal family and nobles died, and many of their family members also died, but it is actually quite difficult to completely eliminate the nobles who have been rooted for thousands of years if the remnants appear.
Compared to Kosa, Cobra is obviously more needed.
"You don't have to worry about him. There is no need to worry about his safety now." Ikalem smiled. When he thought about the body that could not be hurt even by guns, with the strength of those remnants, how could they threaten Cobra?
too difficult.
"Is it."
Seeing Ikarem so confident, he didn't think any more about it. He picked up the devil fruit and bit it without hesitation.
Then his expression became wonderful.
It was at this moment that Ikareem's voice sounded like a devil's whisper: "Master Cheng Lang said that the devil fruit can only be fully exerted after it is eaten."
"?!"
Kosa swallowed the fruit pulp in his mouth. He was in disbelief. He wanted to eat the whole thing?
There is sweat on the forehead.
But in the end he still ate all the devil fruits bite by bite.
But after eating, Kosha's eyes were dull, which was a hundred times more uncomfortable than handling government affairs.
"Then I'll leave first."
Kosa waved his hands, feeling the power surging from his body.
He stretched out a hand, and an explosion rose above his palm.
Ikalem, who hadn't walked far, was not surprised and didn't bother
The first day of Alabasta's demagnetization.
The world hasn't changed.
No one cares either.
The first person who discovered and noticed the disorder of the permanent pointer thought that the magnet inside the permanent pointer was broken.
Although the permanent pointer is called permanent, it only means that the pointer always points to Alabasta, and it may also break.
Naturally, the first ones to feel the inconvenience and notice the real abnormality were the merchants.
Alabasta is a country with a large population and frequent trade. Now all the permanent pointers pointing to it are broken. It is not impossible to sail by referring to the nautical chart in the Four Seas, but this is the Grand Line, and you may go astray if you don't check the pointer for half an hour.
"What's going on? Is Alabasta Island destroyed?" A businessman looked at the broken Alabasta pointers in his hand with some confusion.
Some people with extensive channels and information immediately began to contact others, and the results were all broken pointers without exception.
Panic began to spread.
After all, doesn't this prove one thing: Alabasta has disappeared from the Grand Line? This terrifying speculation is spreading.
Fortunately, a businessman came out to refute the rumors.
It's not that Alabasta has disappeared, but that the island's magnetic force has disappeared due to underwater volcanoes, sandstorms, explosions, and other situations. If you want to do business in Alabasta, you need to get a life card.
Hearing that they could still do business, many people felt relieved.
More people are worried that this will lead to instability due to the relationship between population mobility and birth, aging, sickness and death.
But soon no one cared anymore.
After all, Alabasta's life cards have been spread out, and no one knows who the owner of the life cards is, but no one cares, as long as they can do business.
Some people who are worried will make life cards on their own and leave them in Alabasta.
After all, all the smart people realized that what happened to Alabasta this time was not a crisis, but an opportunity. An island without magnetism can naturally avoid pirates, and the safety factor soars.
Soon, the life cards that were originally distributed in the market began to decrease, and it was even difficult to find a card.
When those merchants who were late in getting the news found out, they beat their chests and stamped their feet, and then started buying up the life cards at high prices, even paying a lot of profit.
Trade on the Grand Line is quite profitable.
Chapter 147 Farewell before sailing
The merchant was the first to notice something was wrong.
Following closely behind are CP and the World Government.
Because the slogans Vivi shouted set a bad precedent.
Now I have a different view of the new country, the Republic of Alabasta, especially the intelligence obtained from the CP organization, and this thought has become somewhat out of control.
The World Government is considering eradicating ideas and extinguishing lights.
The Five Elders all voted in favor.
It was at this time that the CP department under his command reported that the magnetic force of Alabasta had disappeared.
Now if the World Government wants to go to Alabasta, they need the guidance of the Life Card.
This caught the Five Elders off guard.
The islands on the Grand Line suddenly lost their magnetism? There was only one possibility: the islands were destroyed.
It is complete annihilation.
This is different from the artillery bombardment of the Demon Slayer Order.
The land still exists after the bombing, and the magnetism will not disappear. The post-disaster work only needs to camouflage the island, turning everything that once existed into a deserted island.
Now it's gone.
And they could only think of one that could do it.
But if Lord Yim wants to take action, he should also tell them, right?
"So what happened in Alabasta?" Saint Satan asked curiously.
The CP that reported this time gave a more detailed report, summarized the rumors that had been spread before, and picked out several key suspected possibilities for detailed explanation.
"Okay, you go down."
Satan Saint waved his hand and asked the reporting CP personnel to leave.
Only the Five Elders were left on the field.
"Something's wrong. Even Dr. Vegapunk can't demagnetize an island, even if he has completely transformed it." The Environmental God of War, Saint Maz, looked at the Scientific God of War, Saint Satan, in confusion.
Satan nodded seriously, "It can't be done. Unless it's an island-eating monster or a super giant sea king that can swallow the entire Alabasta, it's impossible."
The land excreted by the island-eating monster is also called the barren land.
There is nothing on it, so naturally there is no such thing as magnetism.
Therefore, the sudden demagnetization of a superpower like Alabasta, a place with a vast land area, really made the Five Elders feel horrified and weird.
A subtle feeling appeared in the hearts of the five people, as if some terrifying existence was gradually devouring the world.
"Would you like to ask Lord Yimu for instructions?"
The one who spoke was the bald Saint Vochuli. As the God of Justice, he was the initiator of the Alabasta incident. Now he felt it was a difficult situation, and that absurd idea could not be erased from his mind.
So he felt that it was okay to ask the almighty Lord Yim about this matter.
But the other four people looked at him with expressions of concern for the mentally retarded.
This made Saint Vochuli somewhat baffled.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Although it's weird, for such a small matter as demagnetizing the island, you should ask Lord Im for help. If you want to go, go by yourself." Nasu Shoulang Sheng said in a cold and disdainful voice while holding the first generation of Kitetsu.
The other three agreed.
This made Saint Wochuli roll his eyes. The five people possessed abilities bestowed by Lord Im, and many things could be communicated through internal voice communication. However, because it was internal voice communication, some emotions and other information would flow out involuntarily.
So the five of them won't use it when they have nothing to do.
After all, everyone has their own life.
Although there was no team voice chat now, Saint Vochuli was very clear about the mentality of these four guys.
Everyone was very respectful when they asked for advice from Lord Yim, but they were all scared to death, fearing that their abilities would be taken away if they failed to do their job well.
Saint Vochuli figured it out and said, "Since it's not a big deal, let's just skip it."
