Chapter 164 - 3

Chapter 3 Usopp, Chopper vs. Ms. Merry Christmas, Mr. 4Vivi, riding her Lapahn, arrived in Alabasta, only to witness this scene:The bloody, dusty red sun of Alabasta hung over the desert, baking the plaza of the capital city, Alabasta, scorching hot.When the first cannon blast tore through the silence, the armor of six hundred thousand Royal Army soldiers and the scimitars of four hundred thousand Rebel Army soldiers simultaneously gleamed with cold light under the scorching sun.The conspiracy orchestrated by Crocodile finally ignited the war amidst the dust.The roars of the Rebel Army made the city bricks tremble. Koza, brandishing his longsword, charged at the forefront.The hands that once dug wells with Vivi in Yuba now tightly gripped the blade of vengeance—the 'King's Criminal Evidence' forged by Baroque Works had long since transformed the resentment of three years of drought into a raging inferno.They charged across the cracked earth, their eyes under rough headscarves burning with resolve. Weapons fashioned from farm tools clashed with standard longswords, emitting piercing metallic wails.The Royal Army's formation, meanwhile, was like a moving iron wall. Chaka's guard unit raised their shields to form a defensive line, and spears thrust out from between the shields, yet they inevitably hesitated when facing their former compatriots.A sandstorm swept in without warning; it was Crocodile's doing. The yellow sand instantly swallowed visibility, turning the battlefield into a chaotic slaughterhouse.Gunshots echoed intermittently through the sand curtain. Baroque Works' infiltrators, mixed among both armies, fired sneak attacks, and fallen soldiers couldn't tell if they were hit by friendly fire or killed by the enemy.A flag embroidered with the kingdom's emblem was barely planted on a broken wall before it was set ablaze by a Rebel Army torch. Charred scraps of fabric drifted into the sky with the wind, only to be slapped back down by the dust into blood-stained shell craters.The fountain in the center of the plaza had long since dried up, but now it became a contested high ground.Royal Army crossbow bolts rained down, while the Rebel Army, enduring the arrow shower, hurled fire bottles. The wooden fountain walls crackled in the flames.As a young Rebel Army soldier fell, half a piece of dry, hard bread dropped from his In my arms. It was three days' worth of rations he had saved, now stained with sand and blood.Not far away, an old Royal Army veteran was supporting an injured fellow villager. The short knife in the other's chest was actually a modified farm tool he had once given to a boy from a neighboring village."I must go to the palace, Black Duck. Can you still come with me?" Vivi's gaze was fixed firmly on the palace."Gaa... gaa," Lapahn, dragging its heavy body, still charged forward resolutely.However, a stray bullet made Lapahn's persistence futile. Its legs gradually bent, its body fell to the ground, as if it was carrying something incredibly precious on its back."Gaa... gaa!" Lapahn cried out wildly, as if warning Vivi to escape."Didn't I tell you? It's... useless! Ah ha ha ha, you stinky duck, who told you to interfere with my good business!! I'll take care of you properly!" Mr2 said mockingly."Gaa... gaa!" There was no plea for mercy in Black Duck's voice.Just then, two Lapahns crashed into the wildly laughing Mr2, sending him flying nearly ten meters away!"There's still a chance to stop the rebellion, Vivi!" A blond man wearing glasses appeared."Sanji!""You can step back. I'll handle that Okama!" Sanjisaid with a confident and calm expression....At this moment, a fierce battle was taking place at Alabasta's southeast gate.Ms. Goldenweek was a mole-human who had eaten the Mole-Mole Fruit, allowing her to dig underground; Mr4 was a baseball player; and beside him was a dog, or more accurately, a dachshund gun that had eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit.The dachshund used its snot to create baseball bombs, which Mr4 then hit with his extremely heavy bat, putting Usopp and Chopper in perilous situations and leaving them covered in wounds!From time to time, they also had to face sneak attacks from Ms. Goldenweek, making it impossible to defend against them all!At this point, Usopp was almost on the verge of death from being hit by baseball bombs, and Chopper was frantically fleeing with him."Oh, so you're a Zoan type? I thought you weren't an ordinary human!" Ms. Goldenweek was slightly surprised.Then, the dachshund snorted, and a baseball shot out from its mouth, which Mr4 then powerfully swung his bat at towards Usopp."Just hit it away!" Chopper used a rumble ball to enlarge himself, came before the baseball, and was about to throw a punch, but Ms. Goldenweek then used Earth Release to grab Chopper's feet, making him unable to move, and he could only watch the baseball grow larger in his eyes!Just as the baseball was about to hit Chopper, Chopper had a flash of inspiration and instantly shrank his body, dodging the attack.But Ms. Goldenweek, as a mole-human, had terrifyingly high mobility!As Chopper was caught in a dilemma, Usopp, holding an iron hammer, fiercely smashed Mr4, knocking him to the ground, and the '5t' on the hammer was clearly visible."How is that possible? A 5-ton iron hammer, where did this kid get so much strength?" Ms. Goldenweek was puzzled, shocked, and terrified!"People respectfully call me the King of Destruction, who has destroyed countless warships! Captain Usopp!" Usopp said calmly, swinging the 5t iron hammer."Now, it's your turn. Take my 5-ton heavy iron hammer!" Usopp easily swung the hammer in his hand and charged towards Ms. Goldenweek!"Waa, waaa!" Ms. Goldenweek quickly hid in a hole, leading to a delightful game of whack-a-mole!"Ouch," Mr4 touched his head at this moment, but anyone with eyes could see he was unharmed."Mr4's head doesn't even have a bump. Something is fishy!" Ms. Goldenweek said, puzzled."Achoo!" Just then, the dachshund sneezed, a burst of fire exploded, and the hammer in Usopp's hand turned to ashes.It turned out that this hammer was only made of two frying pans put together, with a total weight of no more than two kilograms!"Kid, you dare to trick me, I will never forgive you!" Ms. Goldenweek was furious. "Earth Dragon Escape Technique " She then burrowed underground, came behind Usopp, and delivered another "Banana Claw," instantly putting Usopp in a perilous situation."Usopp!" Chopper shouted anxiously."Four Hundred Bat Ultra Strike" Mr4 spun his bat at lightning speed, and baseballs flew one after another towards Chopper.'No, I can't block an attack like this, I have to go all out,' Chopper was very calm. "rumble ball - Brain Point," Chopper instantly transformed back into a small reindeer, using his powerful brain to dodge the baseball attacks and desperately search for the enemy's weakness!Meanwhile, Usopp was leading Ms. Goldenweek towards a wall, attempting to smash her head.With a bang, the wall collapsed!"Wahahaha, you stinky penguin old woman, you're finally dead from crashing!" Usopp said triumphantly."I told you, I'm a mole!" Ms. Goldenweek grabbed Usopp's legs and charged towards a wall, "Mole Mound... Highway" "Mole Crushing!"At this moment, Chopper also discovered their weakness. He came in front of the dachshund, kicked up a cloud of sand, "Achoo!" As the dachshund sneezed, he pressed its dog head into a pit and shouted to Usopp: "Get away from the mole!" After that, fire erupted everywhere!It turned out that the holes Ms. Goldenweek dug were interconnected, so there was no need to catch them. Everything seemed to be over...
