Chapter 170 Reactions From All Parties!

Although changing to a constitutional monarchy may result in the loss of some real power, they are still supported by the state, and their status and identity have not changed. They are still the nobles of the country and can be passed down from generation to generation.

Although they will lose power, their status and property have not decreased.

Even if they are extremely powerful, they can still get involved in politics, just like Cobra, and participate in cabinet elections.

As long as they control the power of the cabinet, they are still the kings who dominate everything, but the title has changed.

In view of this, seeing that the domestic situation is becoming increasingly severe, many kings and nobles have begun to clean up the mess they left behind, trying to ensure that their crimes are not confirmed when facing public trials.

It's a pity that there are gods above their heads. These people think they have destroyed all the evidence of the crime, but they don't know that in the eyes of those law enforcers hidden in the world, this move is tantamount to deceiving themselves.

They can deal with all the evidence of the crime, but they can't deal with the sin index on their heads. When facing the executors of the world, the sin on their heads is their biggest evidence of the crime.

…

…

In the hospital of Marineford, at the Navy headquarters, Smoker lay quietly on the bed, wrapped in thick gauze, but his eyes were staring blankly at the news section about Shurima and the Queen in the newspaper.

At this moment, the ward was quiet and peaceful, with only Smoker's heavy and slightly hoarse breathing echoing in it.

In fact, shortly after Cobra reported Crocodile's crimes to the World Government, the Navy responded quickly and sent Smoker to arrest this ambitious and taboo-touching Shichibukai.

At that time, the outside world was full of expectations and confidence in this action-after all, Smoker was strong and highly anticipated, and some people even regarded him as one of the strongest competitors for the next Navy Admiral.

After all, this is the face of the natural devil fruit. The three admirals of the Navy are all natural devil fruit users, and Smoker is also a natural user. Therefore, among many Navy colleagues, there is common sense that Smoker is the Navy Admiral.

However, no one expected that the final outcome would be so tragic. In just a few rounds, Smoker almost died at the hands of Crocodile!

If Luffy had not arrived in time to rescue him, Smoker would have died at this moment. This tragic defeat not only caused Smoker to be seriously injured, but also completely defeated his inner defenses;

Even today, even though his body has gradually recovered, his mental state is still sluggish and it is difficult to restore his past style.

He really couldn't understand why he, who also had the ability of a natural devil fruit, would be defeated so miserably.

You know, he was able to compete with the extremely powerful "Fire Fist" Ace under the Whitebeard Pirates, and Smoker made his name by fighting on equal terms with Ace.

But only when facing Crocodile, he was defeated so miserably that he even lost the power to parry?

Moreover, what Smoker couldn't accept was that Luffy, the straw hat kid who was hung up and beaten by him in Rogue Town, defeated Crocodile.

Smoker is now in a serious EMO state. How can he still see the high spirits he had in the past?

Smoker has now fallen into deep self-doubt and can't extricate himself for a long time.

If you want to blame someone, you should blame Smoker for not knowing what fruit suppression is. The Sand-Sand Fruit can be said to be one of the abilities that counters the Smoke Fruit.

Smoke is most afraid of wind, but the Sand-Sand Fruit can control the wind in disguise and create terrible sand tornadoes.

'I must do something, I want to regain my confidence! '

Thinking of this, Smoker put on his coat, drove his sea motorboat, and prepared to fight the pirates. He must fight and win continuously to regain his heart of strength.

In the first half of the Grand Line, on Gaya Island,

the Straw Hat Pirates who left Alabasta continued their journey. They crossed the sea and experienced countless adventures.

However, one day, they found that the magnetic pointer was attracted by a mysterious force, and the pointer pointed straight to the sky.

In order to find the path to the Sky Island, the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Gaya Island near the sea, where the people living here were all pirates stuck on the Sky Island.

They lost their dreams, turned a blind eye to the Sky Island pointed by the pointer, and did some things that they thought were cool. Then, they laughed at those who were looking for the Sky Island, but forgot that they were not the newcomers now.

On Gaya Island, the Straw Hat Pirates not only asked around for news about the Sky Island, but also busy purchasing various necessities.

After a fierce conflict with the original pirates on the island, they unexpectedly received a latest bounty order of 100 million Baileys from Luffy!

At the same time, they also saw a news about Vivi becoming the first queen of the Shurima Empire.

In fact, Luffy was a little uneasy about the change of Alabasta's name to Shurima, but he had no way to solve it, so he could only choose to avoid it, which also caused a stone to be pressed on Luffy's simple heart.

But when Luffy learned that Vivi was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Vivi was fine, so he could continue his adventure with peace of mind.

In contrast, Robin, who sailed with him, knew the deep meaning behind this news.

Obviously, Alabasta has been completely destroyed, otherwise there would not be such a big change, and even the original kingdom name would not be abandoned.

Robin even saw the essence of constitutional monarchy clearly.

Today, Vivi is just a political puppet launched by Shurima. Rather than being a queen, she has completely become a symbolic mascot.

Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

If it weren't for the pursuit of the historical text, perhaps she wouldn't have agreed to let Crocodile destroy the harmony of Alabasta with her.

They wouldn't be involved in this storm, and Vivi wouldn't be in such a difficult situation, but it's all done, and she can only move on to find the real historical text.

'I just don't know how long I can stay in the Straw Hat Pirates this time, Sauro? Am I really worthy of finding the friend you said? '

Robin put down the newspaper and propped up his chin, looking at the coastline in the distance, his heart full of confusion and helplessness.

She has long been accustomed to betrayal and being betrayed. Robin has been wandering for more than 20 years, and her heart has long been numb to these things.

"Hey~, this is today's tea, Robin-chan!!"

Sanji brought the exquisite marble tea set and placed it elegantly in front of Robin.

"Thank you!"

Robin immediately responded with a perfect smile, bewitching Sanji so much that he began to spin around on the deck like crazy.
