Arresting this man would mean provoking the World Government. They could exclude Alabasta from its ranks.
But that's not the main issue; the real problem is that the World Government and the Marine Patrol are likely to send troops against Alabasta!
That doesn't matter.
Ezekiel looked at the progress indicator, which showed less than 100 GB.
It seems you are ready for everything, so what do you ultimately plan to do? - Neptune said with a sigh of relief after hearing Ezekiel's words.
This time, we need to completely erase Crocodile from the territory of Alabasta.
Ezekiel checked the news on his phone; Crocodile's capture had just succeeded, and a large number of Baroque Works members were still under siege.
If you cannot hold Alabasta, you might have to head to sea, - Rayleigh sighed.
He remembered that the young King had a younger sister who might be able to return and become the Queen of Alabasta.
Exchanging the throne for a Shichibukai who harms the Kingdom might not be the worst option, but without this King, Alabasta wouldn't be the same!
Rayleigh also thought that perhaps it wasn't so bad. This sea also needed such a King!
Jinbei and the others suddenly came to their senses, thinking that Ezekiel might already have a plan to go to sea, but how could he be away from Alabasta at this time?
Go to sea? - Ezekiel smiled. In this life, it's impossible to go to sea and not become a pirate. Moreover, you can't be a King of a country and a thief simultaneously. - Rayleigh, you once said that you owe me. "Is that still valid?"Ezekiel asked.
"Of course," Rayleigh, who always kept his promises, replied.
"Then tomorrow morning, we shall go to Alabasta together."
After saying this, Ezekiel returned to his room and didn't come out again.
Rayleigh and the others looked at each other, strongly sensing that things weren't as simple as they seemed, but they didn't know what the King was planning.
Thus, overnight, news spread across the seas that Alabasta had arrested the Shichibukai, Crocodile. This news was everywhere, not just on mobile phones but also in newspapers. However, since the newspapers were under the control of the World Government, the information was somewhat biased. For example, they accused Alabasta of "arresting Crocodile without reason," and so on.
[The Power of Poseidon]

Upon hearing this message, Ezekiel immediately felt a strange power within his body. His Observation Haki and this power naturally blended together, and he sensed a kind of arbitrary control arising within him. He realized that within the range of his Observation Haki, he could command any Sea Kings at will!
No wonder Shirahoshi's control over the Sea Kings wasn't strong. It seems one must see, hear, and feel the power of Poseidon to truly harness the strength of the Ancient Weapon.
Rayleigh and Ezekiel waited for their coated ship. Neptune was supposed to say goodbye to Ezekiel . Jinbei, who was scrolling through a large mobile phone, suddenly shook all over and exclaimed incredulously:
"How is this possible?! Are they insane?!"
Rayleigh suspiciously looked up and saw a news headline displayed on the phone, which was almost as large as a tablet:
"Alabasta to publicly execute Shichibukai Crocodile at the Royal Fleet Headquarters in Erume in three days!"
A public execution of Crocodile?!
This is madness!
Even if the World Government and Marine Patrol did not want to act before, now they must take action!
Could it be that the World Government is planning a massive battle with Alabasta in Erume?
At this moment, a coated boat finally appeared before them.
"Your Majesty..." Rayleigh was at a loss for words for a while. "Are you confused?" asked Rayleigh.
Ezekiel looked at him with some excitement.
"Is it not fear, but madness?" Rayleigh was shocked.
"How will we get there? By boat, it must be too late already," Rayleigh continued.
Will snapped his fingers, and thanks to the Observation Haki, the sound of the snap traveled over hundreds of kilometers, creating waves in the quiet ocean depths.
Everyone stood in confusion.
Roar!!!
It was as if a growl from ancient times, from the deepest part of the sea, from a dark cave untouched by sunlight for billions of years, rose up as a terrifying monster.
More than a dozen massive Sea Kings, each 10,000 meters long, were swaying their bodies beyond the boundaries of Fish-Man Island.
Fish-Man Island was the size of their heads, which slowly rose above the edge of the island.
Such a scene was hard to imagine, with pairs of black giant eyes staring at them.
Rayleigh's breath halted for a moment.
What terror!
These aren't just kings of the sea; they are the mighty Sea Kings!
A force akin to sight and sound spreads through the air, like circles of dense sound waves. Rayleigh's pupils narrowed: they were speaking... answering the call.
Under the astonished gaze of Neptune and the others, Ezekiel slowly raised his hand, and these creatures, larger than Fish-Man Island, immediately lowered their heads and obeyed!
Ezekiel turned, looked at the stunned Rayleigh, and said:
"Rayleigh, regardless of whether I have the right, let's say 'no' to the World Government!"
With Poseidon's power, Ezekiel now realized he commanded a dozen super massive Sea Kings capable of destroying islands.
"Come on, World Government, I await you in three days!"
