The way the crowds of people like mountains and seas looked at Gawain on the Cortlena Pier was not looking at God or looking at hope.
On the contrary, their eyes were as fierce as a wolf that had been hungry for months looking at a piece of bloody meat!
When Ace distilled water for them, no matter how hard Ace tried, the water could only flow slowly.
With the help of Crocodile, the man from Kotla learned to wait.
But now, looking at the water and food piled up throughout the belly of the Black Bird...
Especially the mountains of fruits and vegetables!
!
People who had barely satisfied their hunger and thirst felt the taste of hunger again!
In just a short moment….
Crocodile maintained discipline for more than ten days in the past, but it was about to disappear in the blink of an eye!
The crowd gradually turned from noisy to restless, and then from restless, slowly turned into... eager to push and swim towards the sea... eager!
As for Gawain.
There is a very interesting reality, because no matter what kind of big person is standing on the stage and speaking, people will only listen to what they want to hear!
And now, when the Kotla people heard the food and vegetables they longed for, they couldn't hear any other sounds!
If this were a world that was neither fantasy nor extraordinary, few people would be able to stop the current crowd.
What could stop such a group of people would not be Gawain falling from the sky, or a big shot arriving suddenly.
The one who can stop them must be the leader around them who has been their belief or hope for a long time.
But this is a fantasy world after all!
Looking at the increasingly restless crowd, Gawain gently closed his eyes.
I saw him raising his hand slightly, and then pressing his hand into the void.
Card!
!
With a loud bang, countless lightnings fell from the sky in an instant. Those lightnings split into electric arcs and accurately hit the gap between every two people!
The swimming arc filled the air with a paralyzing taste, and countless people's hair and body hair became fluffy in just an instant!
If someone could record that moment, people would see it.
At that moment, Gao Wenxin's network could only cover every inch of land within a range of 4.5 kilometers.
They were all covered by the surging thunder and turned into a blue sea of thunder!
And after this moment...
The crowd, who were about to be driven out of their sanity by temptation and transformed into beasts, finally regained the eyes of intelligent creatures.
On the dock, Gawain also opened his eyes and looked around with a smile.
He had to admit that the fruits of the natural system did have an inherent shocking power, just like natural disasters and thunder disasters!
Although the overlord color can also intimidate everyone here.
But the overlord-colored coma is somewhat inapplicable in the current scene.
After confirming that the crowd had returned to their senses, Gawain gently withdrew his hand.
Then, his gentle voice continued to spread from the thunder field in the sky.
I saw him speaking softly.
"Guys, it looks like you can't wait, water and food are right in front of you,
As long as you obey my orders and do a good job in counting the number of people, you can get it!
So, if we don’t start counting now, how long will we have to wait?
Wait until I get angry?"
After speaking, Gawain split a ray of thunder and appeared in Kalifa's ear.
Suddenly, Kalifa's ears heard a series of subtle electronic sounds.
After receiving Gawain's instructions, Khalifa immediately led all members of the logistics department and finance department to disperse the crowd of onlookers at the dock.
Then, they directly erected the Blackbird Regiment's flag in Cortlena, a city in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
Afterwards, people held flags and left from the pier, heading to various locations in the city.
When those people left, the man from Cote instinctively followed their footsteps, dispersed into countless tributaries, and came to one relatively empty area after another in the city.
At the same time, while watching the crowd disperse, Gawain also said to Kobra with a smile.
"King Kobra, now we just need to wait for the crowd to be arranged.
If you don’t want to sit on the sidelines all the time, then you can participate. If you are interested, just contact Kalifa or Luqi.”
Having said this, Gawain nodded lightly to Cobra, and without waiting for Cobra to answer, he walked away on his own.
When he moved, the Black Bird Group naturally ignored Kobra and Vivi and followed Gawain's footsteps.
Next to Cobra, Weiwei stared at the crowd in the distance with her eyes. In her eyes, even Uta and Bai Xing were following Gawain with great dignity.
In the eyes of the two girls who were about the same age as herself, Weiwei couldn't see the slightest bit of nervousness, let alone any trace of fear!
It's like, as long as they follow that person, no one in the world can hurt them!
For a moment, Weiwei couldn't help showing an envious look.
She is obviously a girl of the same age, why is she so nervous now?
Just because I don't have the black bird badge on me, and I don't have the qualifications to call that person my lord?
…
On the other hand, Gawain whispered to everyone while walking.
"Alabasta has been hit by the disaster for more than six months, and people's hearts have long since changed. It is difficult to restore the place to normal as quickly as possible using ordinary methods.
Therefore, I can only use a relatively tough and dangerous attitude to keep them calm as much as possible!"
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, he smiled and nodded gently.
"My lord is right. In special times, thunderous means should be used. What's more, your lord only gave them some pressure and didn't really hurt them!"
Having said this, I couldn't help but turn to the big bear not far away with a smile.
I saw him smiling and saying to the big bear.
"During the years I traveled downstream, I also met the elites of your revolutionary army, and even communicated with the commander of your Western Army.
Your attitude towards civilians is always to encourage them to launch rebellions.
This is bad, really, because when you teach people to rely on rebellion to get rid of the painful life of the past, you don't teach them what to do in exchange for a better life.
Perhaps, even you don’t know exactly what kind of life the people need.”
"this……."
Listening to Yixiao's words, Big Bear couldn't help but shook his head.
"Long and I have discussed this for a long time. I believe that regular management can make people live better.
But the dragon thinks that we are only qualified to guide people, not to manage them, because once we manage them, we will eventually become the evil dragon that we overthrow!
Of course, I don't think what he said is necessarily right, but I know better.
Whether managers are evil dragons cannot be determined by their own will.
I myself was a king and I had experience in management, but obviously I was not a good manager.
Even if I try my best to give them orders that will obviously make their lives better.
They also only like to call me a tyrant..."
Having said this, Big Bear couldn't help but frown, "Hey, what a bear!"
On the side, listening to Big Bear's words, Mr. Lei Li grinned.
"Don't be depressed, Xiong. After all, the hardest job in the world has never been the swordsmen like us who hang our heads on our belts, but the king sitting at the top.
If he does not know how to guide and manage the common people, then no matter how kind the king is, he can only be regarded as a fool who rides on the people and dominates them.
But we don't need to consider this issue. Gawain is an interesting leader and a qualified leader.
He is only gentle when he needs to be gentle, and he is cruel when he needs to be cruel. He is not a clear line, but a point that wanders in measurement, elusive but always just right.
Just like just now, those poor people who had been hungry for a long time looked at us as if they wanted to eat us when they saw the water.
But now, haven't they changed from dangerous wolves to gentle sheep in the blink of an eye?"
After the words fell, Mr. Rayleigh patted Gawain on the shoulder.
"For people like me and Roger, no matter what our overlord looks are like, all we know how to do is kill people.
Even if Roger knows more than me, he only knows how to lead others to kill people.
I don’t believe that there is any real Gensokyo in the world. As long as humans still have wisdom, that wisdom will lead to passion. Even those who have great enlightenment cannot avoid the desire to compare.
Therefore, there will always be hierarchies among human beings at any time and in any place. In unfortunate times, those are the times when bad people sit on top of others.
In other words, a lucky era is an era when suitable people like you can lead everyone!
Let those who truly deserve it do higher and live better, and this can already be called a perfect world."
I saw Mr. Lei Li clenching his fists excitedly.
"It's been half a year since I followed you, haha. My heart is getting stronger day by day. At least until now, I can't find anything wrong with you!
So, haha, what are we going to do in Alabasta?
With such a large population and such a large land, it really shouldn’t be wasted!”
"Not urgent!"
After listening to Rayleigh's words, Gawain waved his hand gently.
"We are currently not in a position to make a decision to compete with the world government.
Then, we cannot blatantly and aboveboardly turn the countries joining the world government into the land that truly belongs to us.
Therefore, with the help we bring to the Alabasta people in the crisis, let the Alabasta people get used to our presence and remember our flag.
Relying on the various types of water that we will send the Little Black Bird in the future, I hope that the Black Bird flag can fly throughout Alabasta, and in this way let people remember that the Black Bird can give them a better life than they have now.
This just requires a little guidance and subtlety.
But even with a little guidance, relying solely on what we did in Cortlena is not enough.
We will eventually need to use enough personnel to spread news about us throughout Alabasta."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Rayleigh nodded slightly.
"This doesn't sound like something we are good at, haha, we are still good at fighting and killing.
So, do we still have to leave these matters to Lu Qi?"
"No."
Facing Rayleigh's question, Gawain chuckled and waved his hand.
"To Alabasta, we are just a powerful dragon crossing the river.
If it comes to fighting and killing, our powerful dragon can naturally handle it easily.
But if it comes to human nature.
It’s better to let local snakes do it!”
Gawain turned back and waved gently to everyone.
"I'm going to meet a senior local snake who has been here for more than ten years now, and I want to talk to him about some things...
Haha, even you are not suitable to listen to those words, because once the second person finds out, I don't care, but that snake is a bit difficult to deal with.
So, everyone, please help us get busy in this city.
Take a look at the security and maintain order, and by the way, take Bai Xing and Uta to enjoy the scenery of the desert."
Having said this, Gawain said to Uta beside him,
"By the way, Uta.
I'm afraid the concert in Alabasta won't be held for a while. After all, people here have a hard time even eating.
Art may be enough to cultivate people's mood, but only after they have eaten enough can people be in the mood to be cultivated by art.
So, before I solve the problem of survival for them, you should prepare some songs suitable for people after the disaster."
"OK!"
At this moment, Uta nodded extremely seriously and looked at Gawain with admiration.
"You have given such a promise that you will definitely solve their disaster, so of course I will not hold you back in music!
Wait for me, Gawain, I will write a new song right now!"
Hearing this, Gawain smiled happily, and then nodded encouragingly to Uta.
"Then, come on."
"Received~~."
Uta sat on Shirahoshi's shoulders and responded solemnly.
At the same time as Uta responded, Shiliu, who had been itching for a long time, also asked Gawain softly.
"Sir, in a city that has been imprisoned by disaster for a long time, there must be some people in it who can no longer be called human beings.
So, hey hey hey, let me go to those dark corners and deal with the local black market or something.
Otherwise, even if we distribute the water, it may be taken back by those in the black market and made into something disgusting!"
As soon as Xi Liu finished speaking, Lei Li, Da Xiong and Yixiao immediately showed interest. These people smiled and said to Gawain.
"Xi Liu is right. Looking at it this way, I and the others can also participate. Maybe..."
“No no no!
!”
Before they finished speaking, Shiliu quickly shook his head desperately.
"It's just a trivial matter, there's no need for everyone to take action together, haha.
Just leave it to myself!
If you are still not at ease, then I will bring that Grand General robot and let it help me wash the floor!
!”
Xi Liu said quickly, and then he looked at Gawain expectantly. When he saw Gawain nodding, he immediately rushed away excitedly.
Seeing that Xi Liu had found his favorite job, everyone suddenly remembered that they could all do something.
Reilly and Xia Qi met and walked towards the slums of Cortlena, and Yixiao walked towards the casino.
Daxiong was directly involved in the work of Khalifa and others.
Jinbei took Shirahoshi and Uta to the desert outside the city to collect wind.
Only Gion and Hancock, you look at me, I look at you.
"The Aijia consider themselves not people who know how to help others, so, haha, let's find a place to have a fight!"
"I didn't learn how to provide disaster relief in the navy, so I won't be presumptuous in doing anything to help. As expected, it would be more comfortable to move your body!"
At this point, the two of them met and walked towards the distant desert.
After everyone left, Gao Wen shook his head leisurely.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Crocodile, who was only more than eighty meters away from him.
At the same time, Crocodile also looked at Gawain with the same respect.
So, in the next moment, Gawain turned into thunder and lightning and appeared next to Crocodile.
Seeing this, Crocodile's expression froze...
If we talk about the previous kind of lightning control, there may be some other fruits.
So now this kind of incarnation of thunder and lightning can only be the legendary thunder fruit!
And as soon as this Lord Tianlong appeared, he showed his fruit ability...
What exactly does he want to do?
Crocodile tried hard to guess what Gawain might say to him, and prepared several drafts in his mind in response.
