I, the dragon man!

Chapter 223 Ace and Crocodile
At this moment, Crocodile is quietly thinking about the utopia plan.

He must constantly fine-tune and change his plan according to the changes in form, so that this plan can be implemented perfectly.

Just like the reason why King Cobra left, Crocodile cared very much!
When Cobra entrusted him with national security work, Crocodile already knew Cobra's intention to leave. He didn't choose to flee in fear of the rebellion in Yuba City.

He directly set his sights on further assistance, and he directly asked for assistance from the Tianlongman who was not too far away from Alabasta!

If he hadn't known the reason for Cobra's departure, Crocodile would never have worked so hard to suppress the rebellion in Juba City.

If he hadn't been worried about that special Celestial Dragon and his frightening subordinates, he would have directly promoted Cobra as a waste king who abandoned his country and fled.

After he learned of Cobra's intention to leave, Crocodile carefully investigated Gawain's information.

Although it is unclear about Gao Wen's specific character and purpose, Crocodile is very clear that Gao Wen is a big man who is keen to participate in big events and maintain a positive image in big events.

No matter Murloc Island, or Whitebeard and Gaya Island.

The image that Gao Wensheng portrayed in the newspapers was a good man.

Therefore, with a simple judgment, Crocodile knew that Alabasta would definitely receive Gawain's assistance.

Therefore, he worked extremely hard to suppress the rebellion in Juba City. He didn't want his plan to be seen by Gao Wen's special guys!

As for Gawain's temporary help to Alabasta, Crocodile didn't take it seriously.

The plan I implemented in Alabasta was not a simple conspiracy, but a pure manipulation of natural disasters!
Although his fruit ability has not yet awakened, he can still block and absorb the water vapor from the sea while attacking domestic pirates everywhere, so that the coastal part of Alabasta remains dry.

At the same time, the dance powder, which has been buried by the world government for countless years and almost no one knows about it, is used to concentrate the water vapor inside Alabasta in the capital of Albana.

Even in the face of any investigation, these two incidents can be said to be without trace.

Even if some clues are found, the investigators will only focus on the current and extremely hidden Baroque work club!

More than ten years ago, Crocodile abandoned the past crew of the Pirates in the process of becoming a hero.

Then, he searched around the world for some people who had nothing to do with his past, but had great strength and potential, and formed an organization that had nothing to do with him on the surface.

This organization is the Baroque Work Society!

Over the years, whether it was helping him to become famous for Crocodile, or secretly collecting dancing fans, or even the previous rebellion in Juba City, Baroque Works worked behind the scenes.

But even the members of the Baroque Work Club, there are less than three people who know that Crocodile is their leader.

Other ordinary members only know their boss, a mysterious man named Mr. 0.

Thinking of Baroque Works, Crocodile couldn't help but frown. He was worried that Baroque Works would be exposed in front of the coming Gao Wen group.

Although Crocodile is confident that with his ability to control people, he can keep a few people who know his identity silent about his plan.

And even if the Baroque Work Club disappears, it won't let him be exposed.

But Crocodile is still very concerned about the existence of the work club, because this work company has just joined a very important person!
Just a year ago, Crocodile finally found the son of the devil who was hiding in XZ and also running around, Nicole Robin!

The reason why Crocodile had been lurking in Alabasta for more than ten years and did not carry out his own plan to find out was because he hadn't found Nicole Robin at that time.

His goal is the country of Alabasta, and the historical texts guarded within the country, in order to obtain and master the legendary Hades Pluto.

But even if he succeeds in getting everything, and there is no one who can read the text, what he gets is nothing more than a spectacle.

Therefore, in the past ten years, Crocodile has maintained his status as a hero, and at the same time desperately searched for O'Hara, who was offered a bounty of 900 million Baileys as soon as he debuted. remnant.

Until a year ago, Crocodile found Nicole Robin and coerced her into joining his organization.

Therefore, a year after Nicole Robin joined, and even after Crocodile felt that he had the ability to properly control Nicole Robin.

Only then did he finally begin to create an arid environment in Alabasta to fully implement his plan.

Therefore, in Crocodile's calculations at this time, it doesn't matter whether the Baroque Works exists or not, and only Nicole Robin is meaningful.

Considering that Gao Wensheng seems to like to investigate, whether it is investigating the cause of Princess Othime's death on Fishman Island, or investigating the truth about the big talker Rolando on Gaya Island.

That guy probably has a curious enough heart.

So Crocodile prepared for the worst.

He wondered if that Draconian had really become interested in what was behind the drought while aiding Cobra.

Then he can throw out the Baroque Works as a fake bait.

Mr. 1, his most trusted subordinate, can pretend to be himself when necessary, and get himself out of this matter!
As for Nicole Robin….

Thinking of this, Crocodile stood up and walked towards the top floor of the house where he was.

When he pushed open the door of the library on the top floor, an extremely light female voice came from the library.

"Even you, are you worried about the person whom Cobra asked for help, Gao Wensheng?
Otherwise, you wouldn't suddenly run over to see me, would you? "

Listening to this female voice, Crocodile frowned sullenly and looked towards a large bookshelf in the distance.

In the middle of the bookshelf, a woman wearing a black crop top and black shorts, but with a gold pendant on a white background, looked at Crocodile expressionlessly.

Facing the woman's question, Crocodile shook his head disdainfully.

"Who do you think I am? Fear is far from impossible."

Speaking of this, Crocodile's brows became more and more wrinkled.

"I just want to remind you, Nicole Robin, after the Tianlong people arrive, you'd better not walk around casually.

After all, you should know more about the meaning of that identity than me! "

"Ha ha."

Hearing Crocodile's words, Nicole Robin nodded with a chuckle.

"Of course I won't walk around casually, because I'm not the child of the devil now, but the Miss Ideal Day of Baroque Works!"

Here I have to mention Robin's code name, her code name is Miss·All Sunday, literally translated as All Sunday.

However, the code names of the female cadres in the Baroque Work Club are all the seven days of the week and the holidays in the world!
Just like Miss·two fingers, the literal translation is two fingers, but the actual code name is two ones, that is, January [-]st.

And January [-]st is also New Year's Day in Japan.

Therefore, the real translation of Miss·Two Fingers is actually Miss·New Year's Day.

And the meaning behind the literal translation of Robin's code name Quan Sunday is actually an expectation that all days are rest days.

That is to say, it is bound together with Crocodile Ideal Township, the Ideal Day that Crocodile himself wants to establish, or the Ideal Festival!

After all, in Crocodile's view, Nicole Robin, who can read the text of history, is the most important factor in realizing his ideal township plan!
Closer to home.

After emphasizing her identity to Crocodile, Robin narrowed her eyes a little, and she continued to talk to Crocodile.

"Although I don't know if you are worried about my safety, or you are worried that I will run away and betray you.

I always feel that instead of worrying about these things, you might as well worry about that Tianlongren's little hobby.

Although I haven't met him yet, I can tell from the news that he will never be an easy person to get along with.

That person not only has the hobby of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, but also has the status and conditions to be able to do it all... "

"indeed……."

Listening to Robin's words, Crocodile couldn't help but nodded.

"I'm afraid that guy is a real problem, but he's not our problem.

He's just a passerby, and a passerby won't affect my plans.

As for the conditions I promised you, hehe, I will let you see the text of the history.

After all, the higher the eyes are, the less they can see the questions from below... "

"Poo-boo-boo!"

Just in the middle of Crocodile's speech, his words were suddenly interrupted by a phone bug.

Hearing the sound of the phone bug, Crocodile took a deep look at Robin, and then he left the large library with the phone bug.

As he walked into the distance, a cloud of sand kicked up behind him, and the sand directly closed the door of the library heavily.

Meanwhile, he picked up the phone bug.

"Hey, is it Lord Crocodile!!!"

The caller came from a border city that had not yet rebelled, that is, the city of Cotelina, which had just entered the port in the Alabasta region.

"I'm Yuta, the city defense officer of Cortellina City, a new pirate ship has arrived in our port!
If it's just general little pirates, then I'll try to figure it out myself.

But the pirates who came this time are very difficult to deal with. Their banner is the recently very famous natural ability user, Fire Fist Ace!

This pirate group is the spade pirate group of Fire Fist, and we can't solve him as a flame at all! ! ! "

Speaking of this, the city defense officer You He looked nervously at the distant pier. At this moment, the ships of the Spades Pirates were slowly approaching the pier.

At the same time, in the direction of the capital Albana, Crocodile nodded solemnly.

"I see, please wait a moment, I will rush to Cotelina immediately!!!"

After the voice fell, Crocodile hung up the phone directly, and then he turned into sand and rushed out of his room, rushing all the way in the direction of Cotelina in the form of a sandstorm.

Before his plan reaches the final step, he must maintain his identity as a hero!
As a qualified Alabasta hero, he will not let any pirate wander in Alabasta!
Even if the opponent is another natural fruit ability user!
……

Meanwhile, Cotterina, on the bow of the Rocket of Spades.

Ace stretched out his hand to block the sun, and looked towards the distant pier.

"Hey?"

He muttered a little strangely.

"Isn't Alabasta a big country with a population of tens of millions, why is the port facing the great shipping route so desolate?"

"Maybe it's because of the drought..."

Ace aside, Deus replied with a sigh.

"Look, even the land near the pier has turned into a desert and Gobi!

It's outrageous, this is the seaside, and the sea is everywhere here, but we can't even find a piece of slightly wet land when we leave the pier! "

After the words fell, Deuss stopped the boat on the pier, fetched the cable to tie the boat, jumped to the pier, squatted on the extremely deserted ground, and dug deeply with his hands.

Immediately afterwards, he showed Ace the extremely dry sand in his hand.

"Look, even if we dig down to a depth of tens of centimeters, the sand here doesn't show even the slightest sign of being wet.

Even though it's right by the sea, it seems like it's completely cut off from the water source.

As expected of a great route, any strange celestial phenomena and geography may appear, and every island on the great route has its incomparably magical place! "

"Yeah, it's amazing and exciting, haha!"

Ace on the boat responded loudly, and he jumped excitedly to Deus's side.

Opening his arms facing the dazzling sunlight in the sky, Ace continued excitedly.

"I like the weather though, the bright sun and dry air make my body go crazy lol.

So, Seuss, and everyone.

Let's find a tavern first, have a good drink, and record our record pointer by the way!
Then we can go through Alabasta to our target Gaya Island!
The supreme black bird Gawain, the red-haired Shanks, the king of the underworld Rayleigh, and countless Shichibukai, they are waiting for me to challenge, haha!
One Piece, I am determined! ! ! "

After the words fell, Ace raised his fist excitedly.

On the side, hearing Ace's words, Deus smiled softly.

"It's really full of energy, captain, but if you do this, you must eat more these days.

It's going to be a big battle in a few days, we must build up our strength!
Right, Ace....

Ace? ! ! "

Finding that Ace didn't answer himself, Deus quickly looked at Ace.

In the end, Ace actually fell asleep standing up!
That's right, right after he cheered excitedly, he fell asleep with snot bubbles in the next second!

Looking at the sleeping Ace, Deus shook his head helplessly.

"What the hell is this physique that can fall asleep anytime, anywhere?
Hey, how did I meet such a captain....

But it's really heartless to be enviable! "

While speaking, Deuss punched Ace hard on the head.

Accompanied by the scene of sparks flying, Ace slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, I fell asleep again, don't blame me, the environment here is really comfortable.

Ever since I ate Shao Shao fruit, whether it's water, rain or snow, everything bothers me.

Well now, sunny day!

Hurry up, tavern, tavern, tavern! "

While speaking, Ace strode towards the town outside the pier.

Although the desertification here is extremely serious, with sand and dry soil everywhere, it still looks like a town.

Along the deserted street, Ace managed to find a tavern.

The plaque of the tavern looked extremely tattered, with the words Sand Scorpion Tavern written on it, and after Ace pushed open the door of the tavern, a female boss wearing a headscarf immediately yelled at Ace.

"Hey, the nearest tavern is closed, and if you really want to drink, we don't accept Bailey either!

Water, we only need fresh water. You are pirates, right? Do you have spare fresh water on your boat? ! ! "

After the words fell, the proprietress looked at Ace with piercing eyes, and Ace...

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked the proprietress.

"Hey?

Can you exchange fresh water for wine?
Simply exaggerated!
Quick, Deus, get all the fresh water out of our boat!

We have met a conscientious businessman! "
