Roach really doesn't intend to interfere with the CP9's conspiracy against Mayor Iceberg.
Anyway, they will still fail in the end, because the iceberg always keeps the last trump card. As long as Robin is not involved in this matter, the development of the situation will not be too serious.
Roach is determined to focus on the work he has at hand.
After taking the gold ship brought back from Sky Island at a low price, he received a letter from the albatross.
The letter was sent by Princess Vivi.
The letter mentioned that the neighboring country, Yitere, launched a small-scale harassment against Alabastan and that a large number of troops were mobilized. She suspected that this was a sign of the large-scale invasion of Yitere and hoped that Roche could return to Alabastan to help.
Because Roach still has the title of Alabastan military adviser.
Of course, both Vivi and himself knew very well that this title actually had no value, because Roche was originally just an adventurer and had no military experience at all.
Is Vivi doing this a rush to seek medical treatment?
Alabastan was originally very strong in its national strength, but it had become very weak under the struggle of the sand crocodile. After the war between the rebels and the king's army ended, the kingdom's military strength also suffered great losses. At this time, it was the darkest moment when the people were exhausted and the country's government was in chaos. Faced with the fierce robbery of neighboring countries, Vivi would be anxious.
Although she is an extremely strong person, as the ruler of a country, she naturally has to consider this country.
Once the war begins, the people will definitely be severely damaged again. If the war fails, the entire country will bear an unbearable burden.
Such pressure is undoubtedly too heavy for a newly appointed queen.
In this case, she would definitely think of Roche.
Because Roach defeated the conspiracy of the Baroque Working Club and miraculously saved her kingdom in the hands of the sand crocodile. Since he had created a miracle, Vivi would naturally have more expectations for him.
That is a habitual dependence.
And after sitting on the throne, when Roche and others set sail to sea again, in some gaps in government affairs, in quiet nights and sunny afternoons, she always thinks of Roche from time to time.
She would think of the quiet night they spent together, the moment when Roach tried hard to create an escape opportunity for her from the hands of the sand crocodile.
She had to admit that she really wanted to see him again.
So she finally decided to ask him for help. The letter did not use polite words or polite greetings, but just told her current situation directly, hoping that he could come back to help her.
She firmly believed that Roche would come back to help her.
And Roach did not disappoint her.
After reading the letter, he had learned about the current situation and ordered his return to Alabastan without hesitation.
None of the crew opposed his decision.
So after buying a permanent pointer in the store in the Water Capital, the Meli, who had decoupled from the stern of the golden ship, turned the bow, raised the white sail, and sailed towards Alabastan.
However, problems arose not long after leaving the port.
A leak broke out on the bottom cabin of the Meli, and the surging sea water poured in.
After some emergency repairs, Roche and others were forced to dock at the port of the Water Capital again and invited boatmen on the island to inspect. Fortunately, the ship had no fatal problems, and the keel was still intact. The problem at the bottom of the cabin was that it was not properly maintained during the previous sailing and suffered some hidden injuries.
But repairing takes time.
It was seen that the invasion of Yitele was just ten days, and the distance between the Water Capital and Alabastan was not close. It took a lot of time to deliver the letter to the albatross itself. If you wait here for the Meli to be repaired, it might be too late to arrive in Alabastan.
So Roach made another decision.
He left Guina, Nami and others behind, and decided to take Robin to set out first, because Robin's flower fruit ability is very suitable for intelligence and assassination, and is extremely useful to Alabastan's current situation.
Moreover, with the ability of flower fruits, Robin can transform into many sailors to paddle quickly, which is conducive to quickly reaching his destination.
In order to set off immediately to Alabastan, Roach directly bought another ship.
And named it the Black Pearl.
The Black Pearl has three layers in total.
Above the deck is the first floor, with a complete cabin in the center. In addition to a steering room and a meeting room, there are two living rooms and a captain's room, and all of them have been installed.
There are gangways on both sides of the deck, which lead to the negative floor below the deck.
There are three main areas on the negative floor.
The bow of the ship is an anchor rope storage library, with lifebuoys and spare cables, and a front gun deck. Next to the storage library is an arsenal, which houses many knife holders and sword buckets, but there are currently no swords or swords.
That all needs to be provided by the buyer.
Opposite the arsenal is the storage room, where the supplies purchased by Robin are all here, mainly fresh water buckets and grain bags, some fresh fruits and vegetables are placed in the freezer, and other canned foods are all in the corner.
If you walk further along the storage room, you will reach the middle of the negative floor.
The kitchen and dining room are located here.
Turn right after leaving the dining room, there is a medical room, with four beds, an operating table, and some essential equipment and medicines. Unfortunately, there is no doctor on the boat, so these things are just like decorations.
The medical room goes further forward to the stern.
There is a public bathroom at the stern and a huge warehouse. Apart from the rear-air deck installed here, most of the rooms here are vacant.
The crew members' housing was designed at the bottom.
Roche left the dining room and turned left, followed the wide gangway to the bottom: "The bottom floor has two main areas, bounded by the main mast in the middle, and behind is the living area of ​​the female crew, each room has an independent bathroom and toilet."
“What a very considerate design.”
Robin has the habit of taking a bath every day, so he is naturally very satisfied with this arrangement.
"See you tomorrow."
Roche took Robin to the room, then turned around and climbed the gangway along the corridor and returned to the first floor on the deck. At this time, he had sailed with Robin for a night, and it was almost time to take a break.
Tonight he will sleep legitimately in the captain's room.
There are two rooms inside and outside in the captain's room.
In the center of the outer room is a long square table with a sextant and a telescope on it, and a leather seat, and a huge chart hanging on the wall behind the seat.
After entering the door, there is a knife holder and several display cabinets against the wall on the right side.
Of course it is also empty.
There is a thick iron door on the wall on the left. After entering, you will arrive at the luxuriously decorated inner room. It is not only covered with expensive burgundy carpets, but also a craftsmanship wine cabinet and bookshelf, followed by a comfortable large bed, soft cloth sofa, and essential independent bathroom and toilet.
