The next day.

Sales of World Economic News exploded again.

But this time, the headlines were still occupied by the 18th branch.

[The Eighteenth Branch of the East China Sea welcomes its second princess]

Originally, the royal family and nobles of those kingdoms had always looked down upon the navy. It was rare for people from the royal family or nobles to join the navy.

Therefore, when Violet joined the East China Sea Navy, it already caused a small sensation.

But after all, King Riku has been out of fashion for a long time, so Violet has almost no reputation in the world. Although it caused some small-scale sensation, that's all.

But this time it's different.

Princess Weiwei's popularity is not low, especially since she went to the World Conference with her father when she was a child. At that time, there were many reports and photos about Weiwei.

In the past hundred years, there have been only two cases like this. The royal family members of the participating countries joined the navy, and they were all concentrated in Li Yan's Donghai Eighteen Branch.

How could this not be sensational?

The person who was most dumbfounded by this incident was Vivi's father, Nefertari Kobra.

How could my daughter become a navy officer just by running away?

The point is, it's okay to be a navy, but what the hell is it like to go to the East China Sea if you don't go to the headquarters?

And at the same time.

Alabasta, the largest bar in the rainland, Rain Feast.

"Things are starting to get interesting. Let me see if this unique lottery winner can be my last resort!"

In an office, a woman sat in an extremely seductive posture, looking at the information in her hand, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

------

Naval Headquarters, Marineland.

Marshal's Office.

"Pfft hahahaha, this guy Li Yan is really capable. This is the second princess under his command, right?"

"You guy, can't you see that this guy Li Yan has other purposes?"

"Warring States, you said you just think too much. Even if Li Yan has other intentions, it is definitely not a bad thing. Haven't you understood it in the past year?"

Glancing at Sengoku, Garp said indifferently.

Despite his rough and arrogant appearance, Garp seems to do things without thinking, but in fact, Garp is the one who understands the most in his heart.

"Well, that certainly seems to be the case."

"It's just that the situation in Alabasta is not good now."

"According to our intelligence, except for the royal capital, the rest of Alabasta has not rained for many years. Most people believe that King Kobra used his dancing fan relationship to prevent rain in the past few years.

The public dissatisfaction became more and more boiling, and even rebels appeared."

"And now, the rebel forces are getting stronger and stronger, and they have the ability to confront the Royal Army. If this continues, this former superpower may inevitably have a civil war!"

"At this time, Li Yan's idea of ​​accepting someone else's princess is probably not simple!"

Thinking about the information he had seen over the years, Warring States analyzed it carefully.

However, Garp on the side seemed completely uninterested in this and kept throwing senbei into his mouth.

"Wait a minute, Garp, this bag of senbei is..."

"Oh, you said this, I just found it under the sofa!"

"Garp, you bastard, I hid it there, why can you still find it?"

"Tch, there are just a few places you can hide here and there, I don't even have to look for it!"

Hearing this, Warring States frowned, but there was nothing he could do about his old friend.

"I said Warring States Period, you seem to have forgotten one thing!"

And just when Sengoku was speechless, Garp suddenly spoke.

"What's up?"

"The sand crocodile went to Alabasta, right? And it seems that Alabasta started to have problems starting from that time, right?"

"Garp, what do you mean..."

"I didn't say anything, that's it, hahahaha!"

Standing up and continuing to stuff senbei into his mouth, Garp strode out of Sengoku's office.

However, even though Garp left, Sengoku frowned even more.

Alabasta...

Crocodile...

If Crocodile did all this, what is his purpose? Is it to steal the country like Doflamingo?

However, Crocodile's character shouldn't want to be the king of a country.

So, if it's not the throne, what is it about Alabasta that attracts Crocodile?

"Someone's coming!"

"marshal!"

"Go, let Staff He come to visit me!"

"Yes, Marshal!"

------

A few days later.

The Eighteenth Branch of the East China Sea, Military Port.

The reason why Li Yan didn't let Weiwei leave immediately after he officially joined the navy was to wait for this day.

Today is the day when two destroyers and five frigates are launched. Like the Kingdom of Goa, these five warships are also ironclads.

Therefore, after handing over the five warships of the original East China Sea Fleet to Akainu and Sengoku respectively, the East China Sea Fleet also had enough warships and reorganized the fleet.

One battleship, two destroyers, five frigates, and all were ironclads built with a hybrid power of steam and cola.

While the sailors were boarding the ship in an orderly manner, Weiwei stood at the military port, dumbfounded.

"These are warships?"

After all, these days, ironclad ships are really hard to see anywhere except the East China Sea.

Even Tezzolo's Grand Desolo, although it uses a lot of steel, is still made of wood.

"Of course it's a warship. This is a unique ironclad ship of our East China Sea Navy!"

"The ironclad ship... is obviously made of steel, but why can it float on the sea?"

Weiwei didn't understand at all what the principle was.

But okay...

You don’t need to understand it yourself.

"Weiwei, what you announced to the outside world this time is that you, as the fleet commander, went to Alabasta to visit King Kobra. I did not accompany you."

"So, I won't show up until I find the real evidence of Crocodile's crime!"

"But you don't have to worry, it's just Crocodile. Even if I don't show up, with Luffy and the others here, he will never be able to hurt you or King Kobra!"

Li Yan patted Weiwei on the shoulder and said.

It's just Crocodile, Luffy is enough to take care of him, right?

You know, Luffy is stronger now than he was two years after the original plot started.

And myself...

Just act in secret.

Go talk to Robin and see if you can find the Pluto, one of the three ancient weapons.

Although even if it is found, it is impossible to get Pluto out now.

But at least, if you know where Pluto is buried, you can dig it out at any time when you need it in the future. Can it be used as your own combat power?

After all, according to legend, this can destroy an island with one shot...

Even before Li Yan traveled through time, he didn't have such a powerful cannon. Even the destructive ultimate weapon might not be able to do this.
Chapter completed!
