The king of Alabasta was in a hurry.

At night, the Alabasta Palace.

"The magic pot." The young Cobra lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

As the crown prince, Cobra was actually very clear about the little tricks that Yuhe had been doing behind his back these days.

But he had no choice. Yuhe had worked in the kingdom for many years and had long held the military and financial power in his hands. Now he had used the topic of "the curse of the previous king" to reduce the prestige of King Tikola to the lowest level.

At this point, everyone with a discerning eye knew what Yuhe was going to do next.

But his father had to hold back at this critical moment, studying those ancient books in the palace every day, and he had a completely indifferent attitude towards the current situation.

"No, I have to go and see." Cobra got up, took his coat from the hanger beside him, and hurried out.

He also knew that the key to breaking the current situation was the "magic jar". As long as it was really inexhaustible, the rumor of "the curse of the previous king" would subside.

And without the high-priced water-selling channel, the private armies raised outside would soon be unsustainable.

On the other side, in the minister's mansion in the eastern district of Albana.

"In other words, you can't pay the monthly fee this month?" Yuhe, with a face full of flesh, was embedded in a narrow leather chair like a mountain of meat.

Several water merchants in the surrounding cities gathered together, trembling and looking at Yuhe, and no one dared to respond for a while.

"Lord Yuhe, it's not that we don't want to pay the monthly fee. Because of the "magic jar", we can't sell the water in our hands. We really have no money." A man wearing a yellow turban hat said with a sad face.

"Hmph! No money, don't think I don't know how much you have embezzled from me in the past few months. I didn't care before, but now my life is not easy, you have to spit out the money for me." Youhe held the handle of the chair and looked around like a wolf.

After the voice fell, all the merchants turned pale, but no one dared to touch him because of Youhe's power.

As a politician with extremely skillful tactics, Youhe naturally knew the principle of hitting a stick and giving a date, so he cleared his throat again and continued to say: "Don't worry about the magic jar. I have sent someone to deal with it. You can continue to sell water tomorrow."

"Moreover, as long as we get the magic jar, the water of the entire kingdom will be under our control, and then we can have as much money as we want!" Youhe licked his lips, his eyes showing greed.

"That's really great." The merchants were overjoyed, and a touch of joy squeezed out of their ugly faces.

Although they were ripped off, they could accept it if they could solve the problem of the magic jar.

After all, as long as they could continue to sell water at a high price, their money would be back soon.

"But, those travelers don't look easy to mess with."

A businessman stroked his beard, his words full of worry. In fact, they had sent people to test them a long time ago, but they couldn't even find out the details of the other party.

But who would have thought that these guys who provided water to help refugees in Alba would actually be a group of pirates!

"Don't worry, I have asked Sid to take the guards over. If they dare to resist... hehe." Yuhe stood up from the chair and said with a ferocious face.

The sight turned back to Darrow.

"Captain, do you think we are still pirates like this?" In the backyard of the hotel, Xiong carried a wooden barrel for distillation and poured the distilled water into the water tank.

In Xiong's opinion, even if the pirates are not evil, they can't provide water to the people every day, that's not doing their job properly.

"Why? Do you find it boring to help those people?" Da Luo asked while compressing the clean water in the water tank into the bucket.

"Not really... I'm actually very happy to help so many people survive." Xiong waved his hand and quickly denied it.

"It's just... if others hear that our pirate group actually does these things, will they find it strange..." Xiong scratched his head and said.

Strange is a milder word. A more appropriate word should be ridiculous. After all, in this era, plunder and violence are synonymous with pirates.

After listening to Xiong's words, Da Luo smiled, then put the full bucket on the ground, patted his right hand on the

Fang's shoulder:

"Pirates are not the kind of people who care about what others think. As for why they help those refugees, it's just because Blackie and I want to help them."

"Because I want to, I did it. Pirates are just so free-spirited." Darrow wiped his nose and explained handsomely.

Just as Xiong and Darrow were talking, there was a sudden noisy noise outside the door.

Several soldiers wearing special kingdom armor rushed into the hotel and directly controlled everyone at the front desk.

"No! We can't let them get caught." When the owner of the hotel found out that the other side was actually going to arrest the group of tourists who were giving out free water, his face suddenly fell, and he asked the clerk next to him to quickly inform them.

The owner of the store was a grateful person. When he knew that Darrow was giving out free water in the west of the city, he immediately waived all the accommodation fees for Darrow and his friends, and even vacated the entire backyard to prevent Darrow and his friends from being disturbed.

Now, seeing the King's Army coming aggressively and looking like they were going to arrest Darrow and his men, how could he just sit there and watch?

"Catch him for me." Sid waved his hand and ordered his men to pin the hotel owner who refused to cooperate to the front desk, while the other soldiers rushed into the backyard.

"Darrow, what should we do?" Olbia found Darrow as soon as he got the news from the clerk that the King's Army was coming to arrest them and asked him.

"What should we do? What should we do? We have been waiting for so many days, just to wait for this fish to take the bait. Now that the fish is here, of course we have to take it and have a good meal!" Darrow twisted his arm and said with a ferocious face.

Darrow is not a pedantic guy. He just didn't have any evidence before. If he took action directly, it would easily cause the private army raised by Yuhe to cause a riot, so he didn't rush directly to the palace to forcibly capture him.

Now that the other party has come to the door, it is natural to investigate one by one until the mastermind behind the scenes is found.

A few minutes later, Sid and his team found the building where Darrow was.

"Are you the group of liars? Where is the magic jar?" Sid drew out the sword from his waist and pointed at Darrow and said unceremoniously.

"I say, you are accusing us so quickly, is this okay?" Darrow raised his eyebrows and looked at Sid and responded with amusement.

"Humph, Lord Yuhe said you are liars, then you must be." Sid snorted coldly, then waved his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Go, catch them."

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers behind Sid rushed up together.

On Darrow's side, Izumi Reiqian also drew out Izumi no Kami Kanesada in his hand, killing the soldiers alone, and soon chopped the other side into pieces.

"You guys dare to resist arrest. Aren't you afraid that Lord Yuhe will lead the army to attack you?" Looking at the few soldiers left on the field, Sid questioned Darrow angrily.

"..." Olbia panicked when she heard that the other side was going to send out troops, and looked at Darrow with worry.

In her opinion, no matter how good Darrow and his men were, they could not face an entire army alone.

"Haha, are you scared? If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently, so that I can spare your life." Sid was proud when he saw the expressions of Olbia and his men.

Just when Darrow was about to comfort the uneasy Olbia, a loud and decisive voice suddenly came from the door of the hotel.

"Army? Let's see who dares!" Cobra walked quickly to Sid and questioned with a frosty face.
