The Grand Line, somewhere in the sea, the island where the Kingdom of Alabasta is located.
A pair of men and horses had just crossed the hot desert and arrived at the palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
The two people walking at the front were Captain Blake and Vice-Captain Cecil of the Fourth Team of the Sky Kingdom. Behind them were five givers of the Fourth Team.
"Blake, it's great to finally arrive at the palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta!"
Cecil next to Blake was overjoyed when he saw the palace in front of him. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then took Blake's arm with both hands and jumped up happily.
"Blake, what is going on with this island? A large desert, compared with the environment of the Sky Kingdom, it is really far different!"
"If I had known that the environment in the Kingdom of Alabasta was so bad, I would never have come here."
"It is really a sin to let this girl stay in such a strong sun for so long!"
When she thought of the group of people who had just crossed the endless desert under the bright sun, Cecil began to complain, completely forgetting that it was herself who was clamoring to come to the Kingdom of Alabasta.
After hearing Cecil's complaint, Blake, who was slender, wearing a blue dress and a black top hat, shook his head helplessly and said: "Meow!"
"I don't know who made the noise before, saying that they wanted to leave the Sky Kingdom and go out to see it."
"It seems to be you, Cecil!"
"Mr. Feng originally assigned this task to the second detachment, and you rushed to carry it out. Isn't it too late to complain now?"
"Hmph! Blake, are you blaming me?"
Cecil bit his lip, pulled Blake's arm, and looked at Blake pitifully, almost with tears in his eyes.
"Meow! Cecil, do you think you can get away with pretending to be pitiful?"
"If you hadn't forcefully accepted this mission, I would still be in the Sky Kingdom, enjoying my delicious fish!"
Blake obviously didn't buy Cecil's cuteness. If it were anyone else, he would have been turned into a cute person by Cecil.
"Hmph! Then what compensation do you want?"
Cecil rolled her eyes at Blake and thought to herself, "Damn it! I forgot that this guy is a fur tribe. He has different aesthetics from humans. It's really a waste of my girl's expression."
"Ten of my favorite delicious fish!"
Blake looked at Cecil with an excited look on his face and said that he was finally able to blackmail Cecil once, and he would not miss this opportunity.
Ever since he ate the best fish that only the world's nobles and wealthy businessmen could afford, he fell in love with the taste. If he didn't eat it for a day, he would feel like something was missing in his life, which was very uncomfortable.
As the captain of the Sky Kingdom Guard, he can receive a living allowance of two million beli a month, and the price of this top-quality fish is 50,000 beli.
This means that his living expenses are only enough for him to eat one delicious fish a day, and occasionally a few more.
Blake couldn't help but drool at the thought of ten delicious fishes.
"Impossible! One of your delicious fish costs 50,000 beli. Ten of them is half a million beli!"
"Five hundred thousand beli, enough for this girl to buy more than 20 beautiful clothes."
After hearing Blake's quotation, Cecil immediately changed her face. She usually likes to buy beautiful clothes. Basically, as long as she likes the new beautiful clothes from all over the world, she will buy them back. She will not care if the clothes are too expensive.
It's something that can't be worn too many times.
And the latest piece of clothing in her wardrobe only costs 30,000 Baileys. Blake, this guy, is not eating fish, he is simply eating Baileys!
"Two at most!"
"Meow! Cecil, you are too cruel! At least seven delicious fish!"
"No! Up to three!"
"..."
"Five items...Okay, deal!"
Cecil glared at Blake fiercely, and reluctantly agreed to Blake's five delicious fishes. It seemed that some of the clothes she had chosen this month were no longer available.
...
A pair of men and horses soon arrived in front of the palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
"Who are you!"
Seeing Blake and the others, the guards of the Kingdom of Alabasta stopped them and looked at them with vigilance.
"We are the captains of the Sky Kingdom Guards. We have something to ask of your king!"
Blake said.
"You, you...a talking cat!"
Hearing Blake speak, a young guard looked at Blake's face in surprise. This was not a human face, it was completely a cat's face, and the whole body was covered with fluff.
The old guard next to the young guard heard the young guard's words and slapped the guard's head hard, and said angrily: "What an ignorant guy, this is a Devil Fruit user."
"He is a Devil Fruit user just like Mr. Bell, the deputy commander of our Kingdom Guard!"
"I guess he ate the animal cat fruit!"
The old guard looked at the young guard proudly and explained.
"It turns out it's a Devil Fruit... I've learned a lot. As expected of the team leader, he knows more than us!"
The young guard nodded, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Hahaha, Blake, it turns out you are not a fur tribe, you ate the cat fruit!"
Seeing this scene, Cecil joked.
Blake's hair was covered with black hair, and lightning suddenly burst out from his body, covering his whole body. He held his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, looked at the guards, and said in a deep voice: "Go and report to your king!"
"OK!"
The guards felt a chill coming from their backs. They looked at Blake and said with a slightly trembling voice.
After the guards left, Blake put away the electric light on his body. The fur tribe's body can generate electricity and use it to wrap around the body or attack opponents with weapons.
They are famous for their strength. The old, weak, women and children are all powerful enough to defeat pirates of the rank of bastards. Even babies have basic self-defense skills.
Blake is also a swordsman, and he applies this power to his swordsmanship.
After the guards left, Cecil looked at Blake curiously and said, "Blake, isn't our mission this time to assist Trafalgar and deal with Crocodile?"
"What are you doing in the palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta?"
"Resolving Crocodile is just one of our tasks. Mr. Feng also wants us to bring back the historical text of the Kingdom of Alabasta!"
"Historical text, what is that?"
After hearing the historical text, Cecil became even more confused.
"Historical texts are stones that record some important history!"
"And this historical text from the Kingdom of Alabasta records the whereabouts of the ancient weapon "Pluto"!"
""Pluto" is said to be a terrifying weapon that can destroy an island with one blow."
Speaking of this, Blake's eyes flashed with a solemn look. When he heard Jiang Feng mention "Pluto" for the first time, he couldn't believe that such a terrifying weapon existed in this world.
After hearing Blake's words, Cecil realized the difficulty of their mission.
"Blake, why did you tell me such an important thing!"
The corners of Blake's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he looked at Cecil helplessly.
"I told you before I came here, but you didn't listen carefully!"
"And Cecil, when did you go out on a mission and seriously understand the content of our mission?"
"It... seems like you didn't listen carefully!"
Cecil smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, now I know, let's go on the mission!"
