Chapter 386
"Listen carefully, Weiwei." Jackie Chan squatted down, put his hands on Weiwei's shoulders, looked into her eyes and said, "From now on, don't get close to him."
Weiwei asked in confusion: "Huh? Why?"
"It is very likely that the current king is not your father, but a very dangerous person in disguise." Jackie Chan explained, "Tatsuya said that among the enemies there is a person with the ability of the Mimic Fruit who can transform into the appearance of other people."
"If he is fake, then where is the real father?" Weiwei began to worry. Was her father captured by them? Or...
She wanted to run down and question the man, but Jackie Chan stopped her: "Don't act rashly, Weiwei, it's dangerous for you to go over like this!"
"But...father, he..." Weiwei was very anxious and struggled to do something.
"Calm down and listen to me. The king should be fine. He's just being hidden by them." Jackie Chan advised patiently, "If you go over and expose that person, it might make the king's situation even more dangerous."
Wendy held Weiwei's hand and whispered to comfort her: "Weiwei, let's work together to find a way to save your father. Everything will be fine."
Perona waved her fist and said confidently: "Why don't I kill him now and then find out where your father is!"
Xia Lulu stopped him and said, "Don't make trouble. Uncle Long has already told us not to act rashly."
Weiwei calmed down a little: "So, what should we do?"
Jackie Chan took out the Den Den Mushi and said, "I will contact Tatsuya first and tell them about the situation here. Then I will follow him secretly to confirm his purpose. I will also contact Mr. Bell secretly and ask him to investigate the whereabouts of the king."
Perona said, "Then you call first and we'll follow him!"
"No!" Jackie Chan stopped her immediately, "That man is a professional killer. It would be too conspicuous if so many people followed him. Besides, you are still young, so just go hide in your room and leave this matter to me."
Wendy looked at Weiwei and said, "But we want to help too."
Perona put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly: "That's right, you have seen our abilities, right? Don't treat us as ordinary children!"
Jackie Chan knew that Perona was right. He was not sure he could defeat the two kids if they really fought. He said helplessly, "Tracking and fighting are two different things. How about this? I will ask you to help me when I need to fight. Okay?"
"I understand." Weiwei thought for a while and nodded solemnly.
"Vivi..." Perona, Wendy and Xia Lulu looked at her worriedly.
Jackie Chan also looked at her in some surprise.
"I'm not smart enough, nor strong enough, nor do I have any magical powers, so the most important thing for me to do is not to cause trouble to everyone." Weiwei seemed to have grown up suddenly, and bowed to Jackie Chan, "Please leave the tracking of that person to us, and leave the contact with Ikalem and Bell to us. We are children, so we won't be suspected even if we run around everywhere."
"Yeah... ah, no problem." After she said that, Jackie Chan felt a little uncomfortable. "Then you guys be careful. Wendy and Perona, make sure to protect Weiwei."
"Yeah!" Wendy nodded and made a gesture to cheer herself up.
Perona patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
"Xia Lulu, please keep an eye on them more." Jackie Chan felt helpless. Other people's children grew up just like that, but his own children were still performing steadily. The two of them together were not as mature as Xia Lulu, a kitten.
"I understand." Xia Lulu agreed and turned around and went downstairs with the three lolis.
Jackie Chan also called Zhang Da and explained the situation before preparing to leave.
But he didn't take the stairs, but directly climbed out by holding the railing, and then quickly went downstairs by catching himself on the windows of the tower. After landing smoothly in a handsome posture, Jackie Chan slowly approached the "King" by rolling or crawling while looking for obstacles.
At this time, the little girls who had gone downstairs before him had just arrived downstairs. They stared at Jackie Chan's fancy moves in amazement, and could not recover for a long time: "So handsome..."
Perona, who had already learned Kung Fu for a few days, found it unbelievable: "This must be a lie, right? Can I really do something like this after learning what he taught me?"
She felt that what she learned might be fake kung fu.
Wendy said, "Uncle Long wouldn't lie."
Perona looked at her with half-closed eyes: "You always said that black-hearted bosses would not lie."
"That's because..." Wendy smiled awkwardly. She wanted to say that it was because you were always disobedient, but she was too embarrassed to expose it.
"Anyway, seeing how professional he is, we should be relieved." Xia Lulu interrupted their conversation, "Weiwei, where should we go to find Mr. Bell?"
"Bell should have a mission now, let's go find Ikalem first." Vivi knew that if a sandstorm had just occurred, Bell would definitely go to help with disaster relief, but Ikalem was injured and should be resting in the medical department, so she could contact Bell through him.
"Okay." Several people followed Weiwei to find Ikalem, and handed the place over to Jackie Chan with great confidence.
…
"The situation is not good. The king in the palace is pretending to be someone else. The real king is probably in Crocodile's hands." Zhang Daye said to Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan after hanging up the phone.
"This guy... why on earth would he do this?" Huoshaoshan frowned. He was a little confused about Crocodile's thinking. "His plan has been exposed. Does he still want to seize power and usurp the throne by force? This makes no sense at all..."
Zhang Da also guessed that Huoshaoshan probably didn't know about the connection between Alabasta and Pluto, so he made up a story based on Doflamingo's plan: "Maybe he took the risk because his plan was exposed. Maybe he wanted the fake king to give up his throne to him.
Or let the fake king expel those of us who are in the way, and then do some things that anger the people as a king, and finally he comes to the rescue at the critical moment, letting the people expel the Nefertari clan, and then nominate him to take over Alabasta or something like that. "
Huoshaoshan thought about it seriously and found that the feasibility of this matter seemed quite high. Although it was inappropriate for him to become a king as a pirate, he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. As long as the people of Alabasta did not have too many objections, the World Government's attitude would probably be to let nature take its course.
"The situation is really terrible!" Huoshaoshan felt that the threat posed by the Seven Warlords of the Sea was getting more and more serious. He looked at Albana who was getting closer and closer and said, "I will order the marines to search for the king's whereabouts in the surrounding area..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard an eagle's cry from the sky, and a huge falcon swooped down from the sky, aiming for the south of Albania!
"Towards the south gate!" Zhang Da also patted the head of the running duck he was riding, "Go over there at full speed, or Bell might be dead if it's too late!"
They are now heading towards the west gate of Albana. The south gate is not too far away. Zhang Da can only pray that Bell can spend a few more words with Crocodile.
"Quack!" After realizing the seriousness of the situation, the running duck quickly turned around and suddenly increased its speed. This was the speed of a full sprint. Normal long-distance running would not be so fast.
It was so fast that Tom's head didn't react. His neck was pulled long and hung behind him. Tom blinked innocently until Zhang Da reached out and pulled his head back.
Zhang Da also took the lead, and the other four fast-running ducks quickly turned around and chased after him.
Huoshaoshan was too worried about Cobra's safety that he didn't notice the unusual behavior of Tom and Zhang Daye. The others were already used to it and silently held on to the saddle... the duck saddle.
"I'll go first." Artoria greeted him, activating her riding skills to the fullest, with the assistance of the Wind King's barrier.
"Quack!" The running duck ridden by Altria felt its body lighten and ran with more strength. Even the oncoming wind resistance became much smaller. It quickly overtook Zhang Daye and left in a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough cough..." Poor Tom and Zhang Da also had mouthfuls of sand in their mouths and spat it out.
"What is that?" Huoshaoshan looked at Altria's back in amazement. He seemed to have seen the duck deformed? Was it an illusion?
"It's Altria's ability." Zhang Da also knew the principle. It was probably because the Wind King's barrier changed the refractive index of the air, causing the duck seen by people's eyes to change, but it was actually still the same duck.
But he didn't explain. It's just his ability. You can guess the details yourself.
Huoshaoshan nodded silently. This was not the point. Anyway, the intelligence said that this Altria was very powerful. She should be able to stop Crocodile, right?
When Zhang Da arrived at the scene, Altria was confronting two people.
He has a slicked-back hair, a scar above his nose that runs across his cheek, a cigar in his mouth, a golden hook in his left hand, and a fur coat on his body. It is obviously Crocodile.
As for the other one, he had a monk-like hairstyle, his eyebrows were connected like blades, he was wearing a dark sleeveless coat, and there was a tattoo of the word "壱" on his exposed chest. He should be Mr. 1.
In fact, '壱' is an alternative form of the Chinese character '壹'. The fact that he has the code tattooed on his body shows that he really likes the Baroque Works organization.
In addition, Zhang Da also noticed that Mr. 1's chest seemed to have an extra slanting scar compared to the original novel, which seemed to have been caused by someone using a move like "Cassock Slash". Moreover, the suture technique of the wound was not very good, which looked very bluffing.
Behind the two men was a car pulled by a turtle. The roof of the car had been destroyed. Cobra was sitting in the car at the moment. He looked seriously injured and had little strength to move.
As for Bell, his current situation is not much better. There are two crossed X-shaped scars on his chest. He lies motionless on the sand behind Altria.
What happened at the scene was relatively clear. It was probably that Bale found the target, Bale rushed up, and Bale was killed in seconds. His only contribution might be to remove the roof of the car and confirm that the King was indeed here.
Judging from the wound alone, Crocodile didn't even make a move.
In this situation, Artoria should be considered to have successfully saved the situation, at least she prevented Bell from being killed.
Everyone jumped off the running ducks, and the running ducks wisely retreated a distance. They usually did not participate in the battle without explicit requests. But at this time, their eyes were all fixed on the king, as if they were looking for an opportunity to save people.
The general in the burning mountain drew his sword and said, "That's it, Crocodile!"
Zhang Da didn't rush to talk nonsense, but squatted beside Bell to check his injuries, bandaged his wounds with Tom, and then used healing magic to help stop the bleeding when no one was paying attention.
Rui Mengmeng and Ye Yan silently went around to both sides of Crocodile, one took out the dark alloy sword and the other took out the soul-calming hammer.
Although Crocodile's plan was disrupted, he still looked fearless. He looked at the people present, switched the cigar from one side to the other, and said with a smile: "The Navy, the Amber Tour Group, all the troublesome people are here at once?"
Huoshaoshan also held a cigar in his mouth and said seriously: "Crocodile, you intend to overthrow the regime of the Allied Powers and kidnap the King of Alabasta. I declare you arrested in the name of the Navy. Just surrender!"
Crocodile laughed, "Arrest me? Hahahahaha... I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea appointed by the World Government. I should be an ally of your navy, right?"
Huo Shaoshan said: "The privileges of the Shichibukai do not include kidnapping the king of an allied country!"
"Really?" Crocodile suddenly turned around and waved his hand, "Crescent-shaped sand dunes!"
His arm instantly turned into sand, transforming into a three to five meter long crescent-shaped sand blade that swept across the bottom of the turtle car.
Crash! The turtle car was completely destroyed, and Cobra fell to the ground.
"Wow~~" A dark green flag monster was swept away by the sand blade and rolled several times after landing.
It was Jin Erpeng. Following Ye Yan's order, he transformed his true body into mist and lurked underground, wanting to rescue Cobra first, but unfortunately he was discovered by Crocodile.
Ye Yan could only temporarily take Jin Erpeng back to the Huang Yao Banner, and continued to think about the next move without changing his expression. He initially judged that this guy was much stronger than him, so he was not sure how long the Soul-Suppressing Gong could suppress this guy, and it would not be good to anger him again.
Crocodile glanced at Jin Erpeng who had turned into a cloud of smoke. Was it a spirit-like thing created by a person with special abilities? Anyone hit by this move would be instantly drained of all the water in their body. Unexpectedly, this strange thing was fine.
"Don't play these little tricks." Crocodile put the golden hook of his left hand against Cobra's neck and looked at Altria with some fear. "You'd better think carefully before taking action."
"You should think it over carefully." Huoshaoshan said, "If you release the king now, you still have a chance to keep your current position. If you really kill him, it will be irreversible."
Although Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan looks a bit rough, he is actually a lieutenant general who leans towards the moderate faction. Now the most important thing is to save the king's life.
After Zhang Daye treated Bell's wound, he called a running duck to take him back. Then he and Tom stood beside Altria.
Crocodile ignored him. Since he had been exposed, the life and death of a small figure like Bell was not important. The important thing was to find a way to get a copy of the historical text.
Now there are two options before him. One is to delay time and wait for Mr. 2 to find the historical text. The other is to kidnap the king to the palace, but the success rate of this option is not high.
Crocodile thought for a moment and made his choice.
