Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 141 The Conspiracy Unfolds

Picking up where we left off, Goten used his stored water to irrigate the entire Alabasta, finally causing the rebels and the King's army to temporarily cease their battle. Seeing this, Goten decisively resumed his pursuit of Crocodile...

While Goten was chasing Crocodile, Vivi arrived in front of the people of Alabasta and began to expose Crocodile's conspiracy. Meanwhile, a Baroque Works spy was preparing to take a shot to stop Vivi, but the next second he suddenly discovered that his boss Crocodile was being beaten up.

After getting wet, Crocodile could no longer use his sand form to dodge, so every punch Goten delivered landed squarely on Crocodile's face. Seeing that he was completely at a disadvantage, Crocodile suddenly removed the outer shell of his hook, intending to use its poison to launch a sneak attack on Goten. However, before he could make a move, Goten stomped on the hook, causing it to break...

Just as Goten was about to unleash his killing move, Crocodile hurriedly revealed his other plan—"Wait a minute, brat, you don't think defeating me will save Alabasta, do you? Well, I'll just tell you straight now, somewhere in this country, I've planted a bomb powerful enough to destroy the entire nation. Even if you defeat me, you won't have time to stop the explosion, so..."

Before Goten could make a decision, Luffy arrived just then. Goten and Luffy immediately switched roles, with Luffy continuing to fight Crocodile while Goten set off to find the bomb...

Once back above Alabasta, Goten quickly spotted the other Straw Hat crew members who had finished their battle. He immediately shouted to them, "Everyone, Luffy's gone to deal with Crocodile! Now hurry up! That bastard Crocodile planted a bomb in Alabasta that's powerful enough to destroy the kingdom. It's about to explode! Go find the bomb! Send the signal as soon as you find it! Hurry!"

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew's nerves, which had just relaxed, had to tighten again. Goten's words were also overheard by the rebel army and the King's army. Even the Baroque Works spies showed incredulous expressions. According to Goten, wouldn't their group also perish? So these spies simply abandoned their mission and fled for their lives.

Time ticked by, and extreme fear gripped the Kingdom of Alabasta. Vivi, who had just persuaded the rebel leader, was now searching for bombs in Alabasta with him...

Meanwhile, Luffy accidentally let Crocodile escape, so he chased after him and entered the area beneath the Alabasta Palace. There, he encountered Mrs. Sunday, who was injured for some unknown reason, as well as King Cobra and Crocodile. Behind them was a large, square rock covered with dense, unintelligible ancient writing...

However, Luffy didn't bother with her. After all, Luffy was only there to defeat Crocodile. So, leaving Mrs. Sunday and King Cobra of Alabasta aside, Luffy launched another attack on Crocodile...

Back on Goten's side, while he was racking his brains and searching blindly, he suddenly saw Usopp imitating Crocodile, grinning maliciously: "Hahaha...you bunch of ants!" Goten immediately punched Usopp on the back of the head, demanding, "What are you doing? What time is it...?"

Usopp, after being hit, retorted defiantly to Goten: "Why did you hit me? I was thinking like Crocodile. If it were him, where would he place the bomb!"

Upon hearing this, Goten realized what was going on. After thinking about it carefully, he found it made sense. Theoretically, the best place to destroy Alabasta was in the center of the kingdom. Goten suddenly understood, flew back into the sky to take measurements, and decisively locked onto the clock tower in the very center of the Alabasta Kingdom...

Goten fired an energy blast, shattering the clock tower's outer shell and immediately discovering the cannon hidden inside. He then shot out and charged straight at the clock tower. Although two Baroque members suddenly emerged from behind the cannon and fired rockets at Goten in an attempt to stop him, Goten simply teleported behind them and chopped each of them off with a hand chop...

Goten dealt with the two troublemakers, opened the cannon, and discovered that the shell was a time bomb. However, it made no difference to Goten. He picked it up, flew into the sky, and with a slight effort, hurled the bomb thousands of miles into the air, followed by a "Final Storm" that destroyed it on the spot...

After the bombs were dealt with, the ground in Alabasta suddenly shook. Just when everyone thought something was about to happen again, Crocodile's figure was blasted out from underground. After spinning in the sky, it was discovered that Crocodile had lost consciousness.

When Crocodile landed, it started to rain. Seeing the rain, the people of Alabasta finally laid down their weapons. Crocodile's grand conspiracy in Alabasta was completely destroyed, and Alabasta ushered in a long-awaited peace.

Except for Goten, the rest of the Straw Hat crew collapsed on the ground, exhausted. The Marines who arrived at this moment planned to take advantage of the situation and arrest the Straw Hat crew as well. However, Captain Tashigi scolded them: "Idiots, we haven't helped at all, and now we want to arrest the country's heroes ourselves? Let's go, arresting Crocodile and his group is enough to go back and report..." So the Marines were taken away by Tashigi.

As for why Tashigi spared the Straw Hat crew, another reason was that she had just watched helplessly as Mrs. Sunday of Baroque Works took King Cobra away, and she was unable to stop her, even being instantly defeated. Her pride was hurt, and she didn't want to do anything so undignified again.

After the Navy left, the Straw Hat crew immediately received treatment from the Alabasta Kingdom. To their surprise, Icarus, who had previously had the decoy ship blown up by Mrs. Sunday, reappeared unharmed, giving them quite a shock...

However, for treatment and rest, the Straw Hat crew stayed at the Alabasta Palace for a few days. During this time, the mischievous Straw Hat crew caused quite a few hilarious incidents that made everyone in the palace burst into laughter, filling the palace with joy and laughter...
