"Good heavens! There are really a lot of people! Vivi, you guys have really broken the heavenly laws!"
Zhong Chen said with emotion as he looked at the rebel camp in the distance.
Although Zhong Chen knew the whole story, it didn't stop him from teasing Vivi.
"I'm going to see Kohza! I'm going to tell him that all of this is Crocodile's plot!"
Vivi looked at the distant rebel army camp with a determined expression.
Although she knew that words alone were not proof, she still had to go, because this was the last chance to prevent both sides from going to war.
"Hehehe! You really don't need me to act! If I were to do it, I could help you deal with all two million of them!"
Zhong Chen asked Vivi with a standard villain's smile.
"Mr. Zhong Chen, you don't need to trouble yourself. You just need to act when we can't deal with Crocodile!"
Upon hearing Vivi's words, Zhong Chen could only shrug helplessly:
"Alright! Since you've said so!"
Then he muttered in a low voice, "What a pity for so many customers of the human emperor banner! There's not much stock left now!"

Zhong Chen looked at his panel, and a twitch flashed across his lips. 250 leibi (lei bi - a parody drink), wasn't the system cursing him?
"Ding! Host, it seems you haven't called me out for a while! You just sign in every day! An uninformed person would think this system had disappeared! ＜ ( ￣ ﹌ ￣ ) ＞"
"Oh! Am I not busy!"
"Busy! Everyone's busy! Being busy is good!"
"System, you're taking advantage of me!"
"Heh..."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, sign in!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Dimensional Gate sub-gate * 1!"
"System, are you rigging the results again!"
"Tch!"
Zhong Chen found that the system was too lazy to even pretend now, and immediately wanted to transform into an Azunian Berserker.
But after thinking about it, he decided against it. After all, the system was rigging the results for him.
"By the way, I wonder if Diablo has taken care of Falmus Kingdom yet. That also seems like a considerable income!"
"Damn it, am I becoming more and more indifferent to human lives now!"
Zhong Chen felt that his mentality seemed to have a problem now. His first reaction upon seeing people was, 'You are fated with my human emperor banner.'
But the actual situation was that he had no problem at all; it was entirely because he had tasted the sweetness.
After all, the feeling of using souls to madly upgrade his subordinates, it could only be said that whoever used it knew how good it was.
As the saying goes, cheating for a while is cool, cheating all the time is always cool. Now that his cheat was about to expire, how could he not be anxious?
"A Chen! A Chen! Let's go find that sand Crocodile!"
Just as Zhong Chen was doubting himself, Rimuru's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Looking at Rimuru's bright smile, Zhong Chen thought, 'To hell with a problematic mentality, my mentality is perfectly fine.'
"Let's go! Let's go observe the classic scene firsthand, and go see Kohza, the Jesus of Alabasta!"
"Kohza, the Jesus of Alabasta?"
Vivi seemed to have heard her father's name, but also not.
"Cough cough... It's nothing. Go do whatever you want. We're going to play... and meet that sand Crocodile!"
"Little ones, knives in hand, follow me! I'll take you to see goldfish, bah, bah, bah, to see Crocodiles!"
After saying that, Zhong Chen took the lead and walked towards the capital, followed by a bunch of little kids.
To be honest, if he held a small red flag now, he could totally cosplay as a black tour guide at a tourist attraction.
As for why he was a black tour guide, what decent person carried a human emperor banner with him?
"Chen Gege! Why are there Crocodiles in the desert!"
Aihara Enju asked curiously.
"Hehe! Follow me and you'll understand! Why do I feel like someone is missing? Never mind, it probably doesn't matter!"
Zhong Chen looked around carefully and suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing, but since he couldn't remember, he stopped thinking about it.
At this moment, a certain forgotten cowardly dragon was still lying in the desert enjoying a desert bath.
As for why he became like this, that will be discussed later.
"Alright, Luffy, please help me find my father. I'm going to see Kohza!"
"Alright, leave it to us. I'll definitely find your father and bring him back safely!"
Vivi looked at Luffy and the others, who were making promises, and bowed deeply to them with tears in her eyes.
"My father is entrusted to everyone!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
As everyone headed towards their respective goals, the situation in Alabasta was about to undergo huge changes.
In fact, some people might ask at this point, since Zhong Chen clearly knew where Cobra was and was heading there, why didn't he just tell Vivi?
This is actually very simple. Zhong Chen and Vivi had just met.
At most, when watching anime, he might say something like, "Vivi's character design is so good." But in reality, their relationship was that of familiar strangers. To use Zhong Chen's favorite phrase: "None of my business."
Besides, he could just save Cobra directly when the time came. Saying more wouldn't do any good, right?
"Cobra, where is Pluton!"
Crocodile asked coldly, cigar in mouth, looking at Cobra, who was nailed to the wall.
"Where did you hear about Pluton from, you fellow!"
Cobra's pupils constricted when he heard Crocodile's words, and he couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Hmph! I've been lurking in this country to find the whereabouts of the ancient weapon Pluton! As for how I knew..."
At this point, Crocodile glanced at Nico Robin, who was leaning against the wall, without answering the question, and continued, "As long as I obtain Pluton, I can use it to build an incredibly powerful military nation."
"Don't you think Alabasta is a ready-made nation?"
"All the common people of the entire nation consider me a hero!"
"After I've cleaned up all of you royals and those in the know, I can easily control this nation!"
Upon hearing this, Cobra shouted angrily:
"You wish! The citizens cannot be deceived by you forever. They will discover your true colors sooner or later!"
Hearing Cobra's words, Crocodile showed a disdainful smile and said to Cobra:
"Hmph! At this point, you can only be stubborn. I'll ask you one more time, where is Pluton!"
"I don't know!"
Looking at the incredibly stubborn Cobra, Crocodile finally ran out of patience and said in a cold tone:
"Since you refuse to speak, then I'll go find someone else. I think Princess Vivi, as the princess of the kingdom, should also know!"
Cobra's expression changed drastically when he heard Vivi's name. Just as he was about to say something, a childish voice suddenly came from beside him:
"So this is the Kohza, the Jesus of Alabasta you were talking about, Chen Gege! He really does look like Jesus..."
