The huge encirclement formed on the desert.
With the two armies facing each other from afar, a strange sense of oppression was generated, shrouding the entire desert sky.
Whether it was the Royal Guards or the poorly equipped rebel army, their expressions suddenly became unusually cautious.
It could be said that no one was willing to start a war unless they were forced to.
As the Royal Guards separated a path from the middle, while everyone's nerves were being stimulated, their gazes turned in unison and locked onto him.
Feeling this gaze of attention, Cobra secretly took a deep breath. He clearly knew that if this matter was handled improperly, what awaited him would be a catastrophe.
It was also the internal strife in the kingdom that he didn't want to see the most.
"Everyone, I am Cobra, the King of Alabasta. This time, I didn't come to start a war with you. I just came to resolve the internal strife in Alabasta, find out the mastermind who was harming the kingdom. At the same time, Vivi also invited someone outside of Alabasta to save our country, so I hope that someone among you can come out and talk to me face to face to handle the matter properly."
Cobra tightly grasped the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said in a deep voice.
At the same time, his gaze swept over the rebel army one by one, intending to find out the leader hidden behind the scenes.
"No need to look. I'm here, King Cobra!" A cold voice came from the rebel army.
Soon, they could see a young man wearing refugees clothes squeezing out from the crowd.
Looking at the somewhat familiar figure in front of him, Cobra's expression couldn't help but be stunned.
"You, are you Koza?"
He still had a slight impression of Koza, who used to follow his father in and out of Alubarna and then came to Yuba to develop it.
However, what Cobra never expected was that this inconspicuous young man was actually the leader of the rebel army.
"Yes, I'm Koza. I originally planned to kill you, but considering that you mentioned Vivi just now, I'll give you a chance to speak." Koza said in a deep voice.
"We don't actually believe what you said about the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, many people have personally seen you command people to use Dancing Powder to seize the rainwater from other places and shoot the refugees who opposed you."
"It can be said that we have a hundred reasons to kill you."
The slightly lengthy words echoed on the desert and couldn't be dispelled for a long time.
Hearing this, Chaka's expression sank. He was just about to say something, but Cobra reached out his hand to stop him.
"Koza, thank you for giving me a chance to speak. However, this time, it was Vivi who contacted me and asked me to come to Yuba, saying that she had found a savior for Alabasta, so I don't know too much about the matter. I hope you can let us wait for her to appear." Cobra said in a deep voice, meeting Koza's gaze.
Wait? However, as soon as these words fell, it immediately had the opposite effect.
Koza's face became gloomy and he said, "King Cobra, are you teasing us? Letting us wait here, do you think we're stupid enough to wait for your army to arrive and then be wiped out by you?"
"I'll give you ten seconds now. If you can't give a sufficient reason, even if my father pleads for you, I will cut off your head and hang it on the Yuba Tower."
"Toto?"
Hearing this, Cobra's expression couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the thin old man who was being stopped by the crowd behind Koza, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face.
After all, he had entrusted Toto to go to Yuba for development that day.
It was also because of him that this Alabasta oasis was directly destroyed.
Faced with the tearful old man in front of him, Cobra shook his head and said, "I really don't know. I also don't have the intention to fight to the death with you. If you really want my head, and then wait for Vivi's arrival, then you can take it."
As these words fell, the field immediately became agitated.
"Your Majesty, don't mess around. If Princess Vivi comes back and can't see you safe and sound, she will definitely blame herself very much." Chaka couldn't hold back first and persuaded him urgently.
"What Captain Chaka said is not wrong. Your Majesty, you must protect yourself. We will do our best to protect you."
"We will all protect Your Majesty with our lives!"
The scene suddenly boiled over. All the Royal Guards suddenly clenched the weapons in their hands.
Faced with this sudden scene, the atmosphere in the field was undoubtedly pushed and became tense.
Their gazes turned in unison and locked onto Koza.
It could be said that as long as he gave the order now, the war would break out at any moment.
"Koza, listen to me. Believe His Majesty one more time, otherwise I will commit suicide in front of you!" Toto suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
Watching the bright blade in his hand, Koza's face changed suddenly.
His gaze subconsciously turned and looked at Cobra and said, "Cobra, for my father's sake, I'll wait another ten minutes. If Princess Vivi doesn't appear, then don't blame us for being impolite."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that there are our rebel army's eyes and ears all along the way, so we can accurately close the net and surround you here."
"As for why I'm so sure that this is your lie, it's because the eyes and ears along the way didn't witness any information about Princess Vivi. Unless she can sprout wings and fly, she can't escape my control."
"What's more, I, Koza, have completely despaired of your Royal Army. No one but me can solve Alabasta's problems."
The awe-inspiring words echoed in the vast desert.
It made the faces of Chaka and the other Royal Guards turn ashen.
However, before they could react, a huge black shadow, with a strange oppressive force, projected down from the sky.
Roar! The sound of a dragon's roar exploded like thunder.
The hurricane that was stirred up without warning swept down like a raging tide.
As large swathes of yellow sand were stirred up, it gave people the illusion of flying sand and rocks.
Faced with this sudden scene, not to mention Cobra, even Koza, who had been full of arrogant arrogance just a moment ago, couldn't help but look up at the sky.
However, the behemoth that entered their eyes directly made their pupils contract suddenly, and their eye sockets were almost torn apart.
Some people couldn't help but exclaim in a lost voice.
"It, it's a dragon!"
"No, it's a group of bone dragons!"
The exclamations were like thunder, shaking everyone's nerves.
It could be said that they had lived for a lifetime and never thought that they would be able to see the existence of dragons in this world.
Moreover, they were bone dragons that seemed to be from hell.
Faced with the claim that Vivi could only descend from the sky just a moment ago,
the relationship between the four huge bone dragons that had suddenly appeared now was probably obvious.
