I, the dragon man!

Chapter 222 National Hero Crocodile

"Really!!!"

The moment Gawain finished speaking, Cobra's beard was so happy that it stood up.

He quickly stood up and asked Gao Wen solemnly.

"Gao Wensheng, can we finally set off!"

"It is indeed possible!"

Gawain nodded slightly.

After getting an accurate answer, Cobra took a long breath.

"This... this is really great!"

After the words fell, Cobra hugged Weiwei excitedly, and Icarem, who was standing behind them, also shed tears of excitement.

It's been six days, a full six days, do you know how they spent these six days?
During these six days, although they enjoyed the big fish and meat on Gawain's boat.

But regardless of the fish, they couldn't taste any flavor!

As a responsible king, the pressure on Cobra to leave his people alone in the country during the rebellion was too great!

Although Cobra knew that he came out to ask for help, but as for the people, he didn't dare to think about how the people would treat him at this time!
Even if he had left a message to ask for help, but the people rebelled, would they still believe that the king really went out to ask for help?

The more he thought about it, the more excited Cobra's expression became at this moment.

Just like novels that pretend to be aggressive, they will always be welcomed by quite a few readers.

Cobra has already imagined what will happen next!
When all his people felt that he had abandoned the country and went abroad directly.

However, as a king, he returned with a reputation of bringing the majestic Xuanniao and Danshui who could relieve the urgent need.

Just thinking about that scene makes Cobra almost explode!
And in Cobra's excited expression, the Black Bird also moved slowly according to Gawain's order.

The people who went to Sky Island and the forest of Gaya Island to collect supplies gradually returned, and one after another, the little blackbirds returned to the big blackbird's cabin.

Even Bell, who has not officially joined, but has started to learn how to raise birds with Xia Qi and Lu Qi, can feel the gradually active atmosphere of the Black Bird.

Three and a half hours later, the huge Xuanniao finally started to move. After all, the Xuanniao was too big, and its sailing speed and preparation speed were infinitely slower than those of small ships.

So much so that Gao Wen gave the sailing order in the morning and finally set off after three hours of preparation.

When Gawain and his party left, the survivors of Sandia and Kuli Keite's Ape Mountain Allied Army also stood on the shore to see them off.

While saying goodbye to Gao Wen, the Sandia warrior Weipa rubbed his head in confusion.

He couldn't help but ask the people around him.

"Master Gao Wen left just like that?

Does he trust us so much?

I thought they would continue to rule us!

They even left a considerable part of the gold! "

Having said that, Weipa couldn't help but look towards the center of the newly built Golden Town in the distance.

At the center of this small town under construction, it was the golden bell that was finally rang by Gao Wen after 400 years!
Look at the clock, and the materials around the golden clock that are processed into gold leaf, ready to be used to gild the golden town.

Weipa took a deep breath.

"How broad-minded is this lord? He just met a few times and gave us a few orders, but he can be so reassuring to us!"

"Relax what?"

Kuli Keite beside Weipa smiled and waved to the departing Blackbird, and he said to Weipa calmly.

"Don't forget, there are more than our two waves of teams on Gaya Island.

Master Gao Wen sent a small captain under him, the one named Gabra, to maintain the order of Gaya Island.

In fact, what they mainly look after is the gold on this island.

Although they need to be prepared, most of them are recent and upcoming tourists to Gaya Island.

But while they are looking at the tourists, won't they watch over us?

What's more, Lord Gao Wen has arranged patrol routes leading to Changhuan Island and the capital of seven waters on Gaya Island. From time to time, other members of the Black Ice Platform will wander among our islands!
Mr. Gao Wen is not the big-hearted fool you think, he is just kind enough not to put pressure on us.

He put all the pressure on his land, in his land, as long as we don't violate his rules, then we can all live well.

Thinking about it this way, tsk tsk, we really met a rare King Ni! "

……

……

……

Meanwhile, Alabasta.

Since King Cobra left with Princess Vivi and the three main captains of the guard more than ten days ago.

Crocodile has too many burdens on its shoulders.

He was actually in charge of the security and defense of the entire country of Alabasta after Cobra left!

It's just ridiculous....

……

A long time ago, when Crocodile was less than 24 years old, he traveled all the way across the world, crossed the great route, and finally came to the new world, and stood in front of Whitebeard!

Just like the dream of every young pirate, in addition to wanting to become the Pirate King, Crocodile also wants to defeat the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!

But it's a pity that Crocodile didn't awaken any special ability that could turn the tide of the battle in front of Mr. Bai's air shock and sea shock.

First, he didn't learn to predict the future, second, he didn't learn to flow, and third, he didn't learn to be tyrannical.

Poor Crocodile, I haven't met any good teachers worthy of praise in the first half of my life...

At the same time, the fruit he ate was just a simple rustling fruit.

Even if half of his head was smashed by White Beard, he survived with great difficulty relying on the rescue of the She-Monster King.

He also failed to awaken his natural-type rustling fruit into the animal-type human fruit phantom beast species desert emperor form...

In short, after that, Crocodile's dream in the first half of his life was completely shattered!
He, who has not been able to awaken any special abilities, after seeing the strength of monster-level powerhouses like Whitebeard.

He finally understood why a strong man of that level would be called a monster!
His three-color arrogance is flawless, no matter what his abilities are, it is impossible to cause any harm to them before his physical strength is exhausted!

Even relying on excellent knowledge and knowledge, Crocodile can hardly get a hit even with a body as huge as Whitebeard.

Every monster-level powerhouse is comparable to a real war machine. They are all monsters who will not necessarily get tired after fighting for days and nights.

And before they lost their strength, each of their blows was far more powerful than Qi Wuhai's ultimate move!

When he had no power to fight back, lost to Whitebeard more than a dozen times in a row with the attitude of being almost instantly killed, and was told by Whitebeard that he wanted to adopt him as his son... After humiliating him.

Crocodile inevitably felt desolate.

In this way, he changed from an ignorant brat who thought he was invincible to a frustrated middle-aged man covered in scars, who lost a hand and lost his original dream.

After that, Crocodile really didn't know how to continue to improve himself. He knew a little bit of domineering, and a little knowledgeable, but he was far from being self-taught!

At the same time, his proud character does not allow him to humbly ask others for advice.

In this way, after being defeated by Whitebeard, Crocodile was in a frustrated state for several years.

Until he found the clue of Pluto!
Just when he was wandering in the kingdom of Alabasta in confusion with his remnant soldiers forgiven by Whitebeard.

He learned of a legend inside Alabasta.

It is said that there is a historical text hidden under the palace of Alabasta!
Many people know about the historical text. After all, it is so big and it is placed in many prominent places.

In addition, no one in the world can understand the text of history, at least after the destruction of O'Hara, there are almost no scholars in the world who understand the text of history.

Therefore, many historical texts are circulated in the world in the form of legends.

If it were an ordinary person, after they heard the legend of the main text of history, they probably laughed and ignored it.

The attitude of people in One Piece World to the historical text is probably similar to the attitude of people in the world before Gao Wen traveled to Sanxingdui cultural relics.

On the one hand, it is said that this cultural relic looks like an astronaut, and that cultural relic looks like an angry bird.

But word passed around that no one took it for real, people were just sitting around listening for fun.

Most of the people in Pirate World just read the historical texts for fun.

It's not that they are ignorant, but that all the information they have access to tells them that historical texts are fun.

Anyone who says that the historical text makes sense is a boring conspiracy theory.

Therefore, if ordinary people hear the legend of Alabasta, they will not take it to heart at all.

But at that time, Crocodile happened to be in a state of emergency!
Especially when Crocodile heard that the historical text inside Alabasta was guarded by Naferutali, a family descended from twenty kings, and was related to the ancient weapon Pluto.

Crocodile immediately hit up the idea of ​​the main text of history!
Because in Crocodile's view, cultivation alone could no longer bridge the gap in strength between him and Whitebeard.

In his view, people are born unequal, and the talent at birth almost determines the upper limit of everyone's strength.

Just like even a strong man like him who ate the fruits of the natural system couldn't understand why White Beard could be so strong to such an unreasonable level.

Therefore, Crocodile set his sights on Pluto, the king of the underworld, and at the same time, he also focused on wisdom and strategy!

Since the strength is not as good as others, then be smarter than others, and use your mind to erase the gap between strengths!
In this way, 14 years ago, Crocodile resolutely disbanded his pirate group with only remnants and defeated soldiers!
Even though the rest of his crew missed him terribly, he, who was beaten by Whitebeard and lost the Pirate Dream, only felt that his weak subordinates were a burden!
In this way, the King of the Desert Pirates, which were famous in the West Sea and the great sea route, completely disappeared into history.

After disbanding the King of the Desert Pirates, Crocodile found what he was most satisfied with after thinking about it.

A way to let him get Pluto, the king of the underworld, or even simply occupy the entire Alabasta kingdom!

He named his method the Utopia Project!

So from 14 years ago, Crocodile, who was alone, completely settled in Alabasta!

At the beginning, people in Alabasta were afraid of Crocodile, who was a pirate, but as the contact time got longer, the image of Crocodile as a good man was almost collectively welcomed by the Albanian civilians.

At the same time, Crocodile also used his own power to completely solve the thieves caused by the era of great pirates in Alabasta!

All of a sudden, Crocodile, the reclusive pirate, brought news of peace to Alabasta. It spread throughout the seas of the past, and even reached the World Conference 11 years ago.

It was in that world conference that King Cobra expressed his appreciation for the prodigal pirates like Crocodile!
At the same time, King Cobra also raised an issue at the World Conference that year. He called on all countries to recruit good pirates with good personalities and a style close to adventurers.

Cobra believes that this kind of action can allow more pirates like Crocodile who have accidentally embarked on the pirate road to know their way back and become the shield of each franchise country.

Regarding Cobra's proposal, 70.00% of the kings of the fifty countries participating in the World Conference expressed their affirmation.

They don't really have a good impression of the pirates, they just think that if their country can be more stable, then they can apply for less assistance from the world government and pay less money from the sky!
So, when this news reached Wulaoxing's ears, Wulaoxing made a decisive decision!

Before the world conference over there was over, the Shichibukai policy was officially introduced!
That is, 11 years before Gao Wen's arrival, Crocodile became the No.1 Shichibukai in the world with the image of a benchmark!

Many people may think that Qiwuhai is a helpless act of the world government's lack of troops to suppress pirates.

Or, Qiwuhai is a major decision made by the world government to split the pirates and let the pirates consume each other.

But in fact, Qiwuhai is a policy that prevents pirates from returning to a stable life through the channel of the franchise country!
After the Qiwuhai policy was introduced, the old pirates who lived in seclusion in various countries in the world also received a wave of assassinations.

Wu Laoxing wants to tell the pirates in the whole sea that even if you want to wash your hands in a golden basin, you must obtain the position of Qiwuhai through the channels of the world government, or live in seclusion under the surveillance of the world government!
The franchise countries cannot become the backing force of the reclusive pirates!
Just like Raleigh also lives in the Chambord Islands under the eyes of the world government....

The Five Old Stars will not give the franchise countries any chance to grow stronger, and even the possibility of them attracting pirates has been snatched away by the Five Old Stars.

When Qiwuhai's order was just promulgated, the five old stars did not give Qiwuhai such great power as it is now. At that time, Qiwuhai was actually only equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death and an iron coupon for the book of pills.

And the world's first Shichibukai Crocodile, also became the good man among the pirates, and the little red flower winner in the kindergarten.

He even became... a national hero of Alabasta! ! !
Even before Cobra left Alabasta and turned to Gaya Island to see Gawain, he, the king, had a special meeting with Crocodile.

As a national hero, Crocodile, who has guarded Alabasta for 14 years and defeated more than [-] pirate groups, has long been recognized by the king Cobra and the common people of the country.

So, after Cobra left, Crocodile was actually managing Alabasta...

How funny!

But he said it was funny, but in fact, Crocodile did really well.

He rushed to Juba as soon as possible, and resolved the first civil strife in Alabasta under the watchful eyes of all the civilians.

With the cheers of national heroes, Crocodile returned to his residence.

Sitting on the sofa, listening to the sounds around him, he showed a smug smile.

This is his plan, he is going to use his identity as a hero to succeed Cobra to take charge of Alabasta in the future!
As long as he keeps on keeping the drought going, and keeps smearing Cobra!

One day, he will help Cobra suppress the rebellion today, and lead the rebel army to capture Albana, ending the Naferutali family's rule over Alabasta!
As long as he is recognized by more people, he will definitely succeed!

This is Crocodile's dream town plan!
