The cold sweat on Cobra and others all flowed down in an instant.
The four most powerful pirate regiments of New World, Yonkō (Four Emperors), are the headaches of the World Government and it is nearly impossible for anyone to destroy them. No matter where they appear, they will cause great storms.
"Four ... Yonkō (Four Emperors) ..."
The Guard Captain was sweating coldly, and he took two steps back and almost fell down.
Cobra took a deep breath and said, "Calm down, that guy ... saved Vivi before, maybe things aren't that bad."
"What would we say to the World Government?"
Bell asked in a deep voice.
Cobra said: "Marines should be coming soon. Don't rush to report this, but Marine's coming over may cause some problems."
Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the Marine Headquarters are enemies and just one or two troops or armies will have no effect on them at all. If they fight in Alabasta, the kingdom will be destroyed.
Fortunately, Ross didn't seem to have any hostility towards them. He saved Vivi on his way. The only thing that was not clear was what Ross wanted in Alabasta.
"Try not to alarm anyone."
After thinking deeply, Cobra said slowly, "Don't go looking for them too much, send someone to look for them secretly, and report to me when you find them."
"Yes."
Bell nodded before turning around and walking out.
...
And just when Cobra gave the order.
To the west of Alabasta's palace, the burial hall at Alabasta, also known as the royal tomb, was a solemn scene to see.
At this moment, the figures of Ross and Robin are standing on both sides of the Royal Tomb. Both of them are searching for the underground secret road leading to the underground hall.
Since Robin was not lurking in Alabasta before, she naturally did not know the location of the hidden staircase but both Ross and she are observant and thoughtful characters, and finding a secret passageway in this fixed area isn't difficult.
Besides.
If they can't find it, Ross can split the whole Royal Tomb with a sword.
He didn't want to do that because he didn't want to attract any attention and since he had saved Vivi, it was better not to dig graves on her ancestors.
"It's here."
After searching around, Robin finds an unusual place. Sure enough, it turned out to be the location that they were looking for. After opening it, a secret passage to the Underground appears.
Ross came over and took a look around before saying, "It should be here. Just go down and have a look."
And he stepped in first, not afraid of traps or anything like that.
Robin is curious about how Ross knew that there was a secret passage in the Royal Tomb. Ross knowing that Alabasta has clues to the Ancient Weapon Pluton is natural because this is one of the intelligence gathered by their intelligence forces.
But the intelligence forces had no idea where the clue was, and she had no idea either, but Ross seemed to know all about it.
Fortunately.
She got used to Ross getting weird news from time to time. After a little curiosity, she slightly shook her head and followed him.
After they get to the Underground area, a solemn structure appeared in front of them. Right in front of them is a square stone tablet.
Poneglyph.
When Robin saw this, her eyes flashed and she walked towards the stele, looked at the text above, and went through it word by word.
Today, she has seen many pieces of Poneglyph, including several pieces of intelligence Poneglyph. She has learned a lot about the Void Century's hundred years of history, but many parts are still unknown and in speculation.
"Well? Where does Pluton's clue lead to?"
Ross came over and glanced at the Poneglyph stone and asked Robin.
Robin walked forward while stroking a string of text in the corner of the stele, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Then she nodded thoughtfully and said:
"There is indeed a Pluton clue here, whose location is at..."
...
Alabasta.
Coast.
A Battleship came slowly and stopped at the coast.
"What's going on, didn't the Princess was kidnapped?"
A Marine Captain on Battleship, clutching two cigarettes, frowns at the Pirate Ship not far away, and at a large number of Pirate corpses being carried ashore.
"We had a hard time here but the Princess is fine."
The Alabasta guard, stationed on the shore, came up and the Leader opened his mouth to Smoker and others who had come up and down from battleship.
He pointed to the bodies over there and said, "The pirates has been completely destroyed, we were just waiting for you before dealing with the bodies."
"..."
Smoker frowned.
For the average marine, they would have been very happy to meet this kind of thing, because they don't need to fight and they don't need to work hard to get credit, it's like a pie falling from the sky.
But for Smoker who had hurried over here and found out that the matter had been resolved, leaving him only the job of dealing with the corpse made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But even though he was unhappy, he didn't bother to say anything.
"Captain Smoker."
Behind Smoker was a young girl with glasses. It was Tashigi. At this moment, she had just joined Marine and her rank was just Sergeant.
Smoker looked at the corpses and said, "Check them."
"Yes."
Tashigi nodded and led a team of Marines towards the piled up corpse.
It was okay for her not to check it. After this check, she was startled, only to feel that her back was a little cold, and there was a faint cold sweat on it and she couldn't help screaming.
"Captian Smoker!"
"What happened?"
Smoker was already feeling a little uncomfortable and when he heard Tashigi's scream, his eyes crunched up and he began to walk towards her.
Tashigi took a deep breath while suppressing the shock in her heart and said solemnly, "These bodies ... all of them had their necks broken and they were killed in a single attack."
"So?"
Smoker looked down at the corpses with no surprise expression. He had seen this kind of thing a lot, he had even seen corpses on a ship where the throat was cut out.
Tashigi said: "No, look at this. This is 'Jackal', the overlord of West Blue with 42 million Berries bounty. His death is similar to everyone else here meaning he died in the same way!"
"Hmm?"
Smoker's complexion changed slightly, and he squatted to look closely.
After seeing it, there was a depreressed look on his face. The pirate with 42 Million Berries bounty on his head was nothing to him, but it was not so easy to break the neck of such a pirate in a single blow.
It is possible to say that a sneak attack is possible, but the entire ship was killed in one move and they all died in the same way. The possibility of a sneak attack is very small.
