Pirates: Ninjas On The Straw Hats

There are still about twenty hours before the official start of [Utopia], so there is no doubt that Team Luffy and Team Rapeseed can arrive.

Only the palace team, because the kidnapping operation was carried out before the plan started, was not sure whether they could catch up.

At this time, the palace team, Nami and Vivi, were riding camels. After a period of friendly exchanges, Chopper was allowed to lie on the camel's neck.

Shadow Clone No. 2 naturally couldn't squeeze in here. He turned into a little bird and stood on Nami's shoulder.

At the same time, he was still observing the surroundings. The camel's speed was too slow. It was best to find a beast to control and move forward at full speed.

Time passed like this in the actions of all parties. The Straw Hats rushed to various places in three groups. Mr.1 and Miss. were rushing to the port city Rapeseed with their fingers, and Mr.4 and Miss. Merry Christmas were rushing to the palace.

The rebels in Cattleya are collecting weapons and equipment. These items are provided to them by unknown sellers. Compared with the prices on the market, they are simply free.

Kosha, the leader of the rebel army, is not a fool. This seller is simply promoting the war. At the same time, his childhood experience makes him still miss the king.

But sitting in this position, whether the war started or not did not change his opinion alone, not to mention that all the evidence now pointed to the king.

Everyone in the rebel army couldn't wait to dismount the king and snatch the rain back.

Among them was a child named Capa, who was carrying a schoolbag filled with simple weapons such as hammers.

"Why!? I have the right to join the rebel army, right? I hate the king, let me fight with you!!"

It is naturally impossible for the rebel army to recruit child labor. Kosha rejected Capa's request to join the war and took him to a patient.

This man's hands were missing, and a large piece of flesh was missing from his right shoulder, as if it had been bitten by a beast.

"He became like this to protect me during the battle!!"

"If that's not enough, I'll take you to the hospital and visit the cemetery."

"This kind of thing..." Capa trembled for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to shout: "I'm not afraid at all!!"

“My friend in Eluma got sick and died, and it was all the fault of that guy who stole the rainwater!!”

"I also want to fight, get hurt, and die. I'm not afraid of any of it!!"

"Go back, we don't have the same views."

"We were all scared to death and didn't want to fight."

"...Then why are you still fighting!?"

"Because this country needs war, war is not an end but a means!"

"If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, who would want to start a war."

Seeing what else Kapa wanted to say, Kosha shouted:

"Go back!! This is not the place for a kid like you!!"

After Kapa left, Kosha calmed down his emotions, reconvened the various cadres of the rebel army, and issued the final order:

"As soon as the weapons are ready, launch a general attack on Arupana!!"

"yes!!"

...

"It's so annoying!! If I say no, I just can't!!"

Arupana, interior of the palace.

Kobra was sitting on the throne. He should have paid attention to etiquette and shouted regardless of his appearance:

"Do you have to fight back because you were hit!?"

"This is not a fight between kids!!"

In front of him were two ministers of the country, Jaka the Jackal and Bell the Falcon, who were also adjutants of the Kingdom Guard.

Jaka also temporarily serves as the captain of the Kingdom Guard, and he wants to let Kobra understand that the situation is urgent.

"Your Majesty the King!! This is related to the life and death of the country!!"

"so what!?"

"Are you going to let me watch the citizens kill each other!?"

"Listen, the most important thing in the country is not me, the king, but the people!"

"Ever since the dancing fans incident, this country has been controlled by someone;"

"What we have to do is to find the murderer behind the scenes, not to fight with the rebels!!"

"But His Majesty the King!!"

"Needless to say, if I say no, it means no!!"

At the end of the meeting, Gaka and Bell's initiative was still not adopted.

The maximum extent allowed by the king is suppression, that is, defense. While defending, you must also pay attention to killing as few enemies as possible.

Even with the comfort of Jaka and Bell, there is still a lot of resentment within the army. Even if they can't take the initiative to attack, they can't even use their full strength to defend.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the king's troops rebelled previously. The main reason may be that they lost trust in the king.

"Lord Ka!! Lord Bell!!"

A soldier hurried over and shouted:

"His Majesty the King is calling you to go to the palace!!"

"Karoo is back!!"

"What!?"*2

The two of them had watched Vivi grow up, so they naturally knew the relationship between Carew and Vivi, and hurried to the king's palace.

Karu, who was flying over, was drinking water crazily. Because he wanted to pursue speed, he didn't bring much water with him when he set off.

Fortunately, it successfully completed its mission and sent Vivi's letter to Cobra, which recorded the information she and Ikarem investigated.

Cobra finally understood who was behind the scenes, the hero who fought against pirates, Shichibukai, Crocodile.

"I was so careless! I never doubted him because he was on the side of the government!"

"Now that we know the enemy's true identity, prepare for the expedition immediately!!"

After hearing this order, Jaka and Bell, after reading the letter, hurriedly retorted:

"Your Majesty the King!! With all due respect, Sand Crocodile's reputation among civilians is higher than yours!!"

"If we act hastily it will only add fuel to the fire."

Bell added on the side: "And the Rain Land is too far away from here. If we go on an expedition, the rebels will take the opportunity to attack the palace..."

"What if the palace is captured!?"

"I said it right? The most important thing in a country is its people!"

"Even if the king's army is wiped out, even if the palace collapses, as long as the sand crocodile is defeated, the people will rebuild the country on the ruins!!"

With his back turned to his two loyal men, Kobra ordered:

"Jaka, convene a pre-war meeting immediately to gather the soldiers."

"Bell, you go to Rainfield to scout first."

"Let's go out tomorrow morning and march the whole army to the rainy land!!"

"yes!"

...

The current situation is that the rebel army is about to attack Arupana, the king's army will set off to attack Yudi tomorrow morning, and the Straw Hats are divided into three groups at Yuba.

The red line is Luffy and Xin, the blue line is the Royal Palace Team, the green line is the Rapeseed Team, the purple circle is where the Meili is docked, and the middle is the Santaola River Channel

This is a race against time. There are still seventeen hours before the [Utopia] project begins.
