Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

As any experienced traveler knows, the desert at night is very different from the daytime.

After nightfall, the temperature in the desert quickly drops below zero.

For ordinary people, such a temperature difference can be fatal if they are not well prepared.

But now, there are two men walking in the desert at night wearing thin ordinary clothes.

They climbed over dune after dune, walking slowly.

The cold wind of the night was blowing on them, but their expressions showed no signs of discomfort.

One person, wearing a set of golden light armor with dark purple ribbons, holding a scepter.

The other, with a beard, wore a navy uniform, and on his back was a justice cape representing the navy.

Rowan and Karp are walking.

When they came out of the palace, they had been walking together, but it was puzzling that they didn't say a word along the way.

It was not until he was far away from the city of Albana that Karp took the lead in provoking the topic.

"What a coincidence, you also take a walk?"

"It's really a coincidence."

Rowan smiled and nodded, and asked an inexplicable question:

"Just here, or keep walking?"

"Keep walking." Karp scratched his head and grinned, "It's still too close here."

Rowan nodded in agreement.

The two continued to walk side by side in the desert.

They climbed over a dune and saw a ruin that was mostly buried by gravel.

Rowan has investigated the current geography of Alabasta, and there should be a palace built one or two hundred years ago.

With the passage of time, the once glorious palace has long been ruined by the wind and sand, leaving only the ruins.

The two walked through the ruins, Rowan's hand caressed a broken wall.

He smiled at Karp: "I think it's good here."

Karp looked at the shadow not far away and seemed to notice something. He scratched his head helplessly and said, "Would you like to stop walking? If you destroy too many ancient ruins, the old man's report will be written in a thick pile!"

Hearing this, Rowan couldn't help but make a joke.

"Speaking of relics of civilization, I should be the oldest here."

"Yes!"

Karp reacted and sighed, "Ah, to be able to chat and walk with the ancients 800 years ago one day, this sea is really amazing!"

The two walked onto a sand dune again, and their footsteps finally stopped.

All around, there was nothing but gravel and ruins, and only the whirring of the wind could be heard.

Rowan and Karp just stood there, facing each other.

…

In the distance, in the shadow of the corner of the ruins, Granny Crane, wearing a cloak of justice, quietly leaned against a pillar.

She raised her eyes and silently looked at the scene that happened on the sand dunes.

Suddenly, Granny He noticed the movement around her and coughed a few times.

"Come out, young brat, you're not old enough yet."

After the voice fell, the surrounding gravel surged, and a figure in a black fur coat slowly appeared from the gravel.

With a cigar in his mouth, Crocodile nodded to Granny Crane and said with a smile, "As expected of the top staff member of the Navy Headquarters!"

Granny Crane glanced at Crocodile, "Put away your compliments, crocodile kid, you didn't want to hide at all, did you?"

"Hide? Why should I hide?"

Crocodile deliberately showed a very innocent expression, "I am also recognized by the world government as the king of the Shichibukai, and helped clean up a lot of pirates. The navy should thank me for that."

Granny Crane didn't answer, but her dark blue pupils stared straight at Crocodile.

The latter suddenly felt that everything was seen through, and he couldn't help shivering.

"You smart kid, beware of showing off."

Crane focused his attention on the hill again and said calmly:

"Our target this time is not you, but if you want to try it, I don't mind playing with you as a kid."

Crocodile snorted softly, feeling unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to easily provoke the mother-in-law in front of him.

As one of the seven seas, Crocodile knew how terrifying Crane's true abilities were!

He doesn't want to go back and forth with a top think tank in the sea now, and he cares more about what happens on that dune now.

Luo Wen and He, these two can talk about a lot of unspoken meanings and communicate through words.

And Rowan and Karp—

What can these two people "talk" about?

…

"The Navy's report is so hard to write!"

Karp sighed: "I usually ask Xiaohe to help, but this time Xiaohe also has to write a report, so I can only write it myself."

Rowan thought for a long time, not knowing how to comfort the other party.

Karp grimaced, "Can you understand?"

Rowan shook his head, "Usually Neferutari handed me the written battle report, I don't write it myself."

Karp: "…"

He rubbed his temples and sighed: "So, I hope I can write less reports this time."

Now, Rowan initially understood what Karp meant.

"So... don't fight?"

"No, that guy from the Warring States Period emphasized that he said that the pressure from the Tianlong people is too great, and he needs to explain it to someone."

Karp stroked his beard and recalled seriously: "According to the words of the Warring States period, what kind of 'ceremony' and 'solitary' are they?"

Luo Wen guessed: "First the ceremony and then the soldiers?"

"No, not that one."

Kap waved his hands again and again, slapped his head sharply, and laughed loudly: "Yes - polite and military!"

"That's it, I understand."

Rowan nodded and suddenly asked, "How many minutes?"

This was an inexplicable question, but Karp instantly understood what Rowan meant.

"Ahahaha, what an empathetic emperor."

Karp touched his chin and thought, "A rare opportunity, very?"

Rowan smiled and refused: "Hey, I don't want the whole of Alabasta to break apart, and in that case, your report may not be finished in a hundred pages."

"Well, it makes sense."

Karp nodded and asked tentatively, "Seven points?"

"It's still too big, and it will spread to Albana."

"Five points!"

"A ten-page report."

"How about three points?"

"A one-page report is about the same. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Okay, that's it!"

Karp clapped his hands to finalize the final result.

The discussion between the two was very loud, so the other side of the ruins could hear it clearly.

Crocodile couldn't help but wonder, "What are the two of them talking about?"

"The two of them are discussing how hard to fight."

Granny Crane sighed helplessly, "It's really two men who will cause trouble for others!"

How much force do you use to hit?

Crocodile reacted, combined with the previous conversation between the two, only then did he realize what the crane meant.

Crane and Garp were ordered to come to Alabasta to communicate with Ryan Rowan, but the tasks they received were different.

Crane and Rowan communicated on the chessboard. The two sides said a lot of inexplicable words, and they both understood each other's overtones.

As for Karp, his communication method is much simpler and cruder—

fight.

Both sides used three-point strength to fight.

Crane will witness the result of this battle with his own eyes, and then report the result to the Admiral Sengoku based on his own judgment, and finally decide the attitude of the Navy on Ryan Rowan!

…

The moonlight is fading.

At this time, it was still a long time before Crocodile carried out his original plan, and the dancing powder had not been used, so it would occasionally rain all over Alabasta.

But today's clouds are obviously a little too thick, and the black pressure is sinking down, covering the moon.

Two black silhouettes stand above the dunes.

The two males leaned down respectively, and the whistling wind became more and more violent.

The storm is about to come, it's about to break out!
