The son of the dragon who walks

Because Rainland was once the headquarters of the Baroque Studio and was run by Crocodile for a long time.

Therefore, although this is a rare oasis in the country and is regarded as a paradise, there are not many permanent residents.

So after Yuyan was forcibly demolished by Shire, most of the tourists left.Most of the entire rain land has turned into an empty city, as if this place is destined to become a battlefield.

Ciel, Ace, Luffy, and Zoro stood on the highest clock tower in the rainy land, looking at the approaching crowds in the distance amid the flying dust.

Mere Crocodile was nothing to Charles, so Stella took Weiwei and the others to have tea with confidence.

Of course Usopp and Chopper wouldn't join in the fun here, so they naturally went along.Naturally, Sanji chose the side with the girls and went to prepare snacks for them.

"It's really spectacular! But Crocodile sent so many miscellaneous fish here, and it's really disappointing that he still wants to rely on the advantage of numbers." Ciel said.

After saying this, I am afraid that most people in the sea will think that Ciel is arrogant.

Crocodile is a Shichibukai, who would have thought that someone would completely comment on him from the perspective of a weakling.

But when Ciel said it, he felt inexplicably taken for granted.

Ace hugged his shoulders and said, "So what are you going to do?"

Ace previously mentioned that the reason why he returned to the first half of the Grand Line this time was to hunt down Marshall D. Teach, the blackbeard who killed his companions.

Ciel finally decided to intervene in this matter, after all, it would become the trigger of the war on the top.

Ciel was not interested in how the world would develop, but he still wanted Ace to live.

Not only because Ace's death was a regret from his previous life, but also because Ace was a younger brother who had troubles with him, and he also had the same awareness of being an older brother, so Ciel had a good impression of him.

In fact, if Ace wants to hunt down Blackbeard, following Luffy is the easiest way.

In the original plot, the bounty skyrocketed after Luffy defeated Crocodile, and Blackbeard did notice it.

But now Blackbeard should be considering which pirate to use as a pledge in exchange for the identity of the Shichibukai, so that he can carry out the next plan.

If Ace hadn't been worried about Luffy, he would have left to hunt down Blackbeard.

According to Ciel's memory, it will be some time before Ace catches up with Blackbeard. Before that, Ciel has time to intercept Blackbeard first.

After all, Luffy and the others' next stop is the Demon Valley Town under the Sky Island, and that's where Blackbeard first appeared in the original plot.He also made a powerful statement there, "Human dreams will never end."

Ciel estimated that the butterfly effect he caused had not yet affected Blackbeard, which meant that he would probably still appear there when Luffy landed in Demon Valley Town.

Whether in Black Bull, Fairy Tail, or the Hephaestus Familia, Ciel is determined to protect the path.

Therefore, for people like Blackbeard who would not hesitate to kill his companions for the sake of ambition, Ciel rejects him from the bottom of his heart and cannot feel any so-called charm!

It just so happened that Charles was planning to go to Sky Island, so he decided to take a look at the special nature-type devil fruit that was rated as the most vicious devil fruit.

Thinking in his mind, Ciel replied to Ace: "Don't worry, isn't there a navy in Rainland? They must protect civilians like me from being harmed by the criminal organization Baroque Studio!"

Ace couldn't help but have a weird expression on his face. He saw the expression on the sailors' faces when they left.One can imagine what attitude Ciel had towards them, but now he wanted them to protect him?

And... civilians?Ace has never seen civilians as strong as monsters anywhere else!
Luffy put his hand over his eyes and said, "Where is Crocodile? I must be the first to knock him away!"

Ace held down his overly active brother, looking helpless.

Seeing this scene, Charles couldn't help but smile knowingly, and said: "It must be hard to take care of such a younger brother! I also have a younger brother who always does things that make people worry about, and I am often troubled by him!"

Ace nodded with deep sympathy. The feeling of "sympathetic" made him completely put down his hostility towards Ciel.

While everyone was talking on the bell tower, people from the Baroque Studio contacted the navy outside the town.

Although Baroque Studio is a criminal organization, they are not enemies of the navy and even cooperate in catching pirates.

It's a pity that the current navy commander of Rainland is Smoker, who is known as the thorny one in the headquarters training camp.

After arriving in Alabasta, Smoker keenly discovered the anomalies in this country, and soon thought that Crocodile was manipulating everything.

However, due to Crocodile's identity as the Shichibukai, he was unable to investigate directly.But facing the Baroque Studio, he would naturally not be polite.

I don’t know what he said to the people at Baroque Studio, but the two sides soon started to conflict.

Although this is the era of great pirates, the navy is the strongest force on the sea.The navy's suppression of the sea relies not only on the most powerful admiral who can compete with the emperor of the sea, but also on countless elite naval soldiers.

In the soldier class, a navy with a complete training system and resources cannot be compared with a ragtag group of pirates and other forces.

The quality of the baroque studios that flaunted their prowess at the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line was far inferior to that of the navy who had undergone formal training.

So at the beginning of the battle, Baroque Studio fell into a disadvantage.Then the numbered senior agents came on stage.

As soon as the senior agents joined the fight, the situation was reversed.

After all, Smoker only led the navy stationed in Rogge Town, and he was still unable to deal with the senior agents Crocodile had recruited with great effort.

Smoker, a natural ability user, came on the scene in person and withstood the attack of Baroque Studio.

Zoro's shape is very special. The three knives slung around his waist are in the most suitable position for shooting, and there is a knife hanging on the back of his waist.

He scanned the entire battlefield, looking for an opponent suitable for him.Then his eyes were attracted by a battle.

One of the fighting parties was a girl. Zoro couldn't help but change his expression when looking at the face that looked so eerily similar to his childhood sweetheart.

Dasqi was in a tough fight at this time, because his opponent was Mr. 1, a user with the quick-cutting fruit ability.

Mr.1 calls himself the Swordsman Killer for no reason. His ability to turn any part of himself into a blade comes with a steel-like defense all over his body.

Without understanding Zante and becoming a swordsman, any swordsman can only let him be his prey.Dasqi is naturally no exception.

However, the Quick Slash Fruit does not pursue the sharpness of cutting everything in two but instead develops defense. No wonder Mr.1 can only show off his power in the first half.

Zoro sighed and said, "It's too boring to watch here. I want to go down and do some exercise!"

Charles said: "It doesn't matter, just act according to your own ideas."

Zoro nodded and jumped directly from the bell tower. After landing, he rushed directly to the location of Dusqi and Mr. 1.

I don’t know if he was trying to save someone or if he was interested in his opponent.

Luffy unexpectedly did not follow him, seemingly determined to wait for Crocodile to appear.

Ciel and Ace have already begun to exchange their experiences in taking care of their naughty brother.

The natural system in the first half of the Grand Line is really unsolvable, and Smoker alone took care of most of the high-level agents.

Coupled with the fact that Zoro stopped the strongest Mr. 1, Baroque Studio's camp gradually began to collapse.

However, Zoro never drew out the new sword made by Ciel at his waist even though he was in a tough battle, showing his consciousness as a swordsman.

Of course, he was not far from the realm of Zhan Tie, and Ciel could feel that his Qi was getting calmer but sharper.

The conflict with the navy was unexpected by Crocodile, so as expected by Ciel, Crocodile was forced to take action in advance.

In the sky filled with yellow sand, Crocodile approached Smoker.The yellow sand and the smoke were entangled for a few seconds and then separated, revealing a cold-looking Crocodile and a slightly embarrassed Smoker.

Sure enough, it's really not easy for Smoker to win once.

Just when Ciel felt quite rude to Smoker, Luffy also noticed the fighting over there.

Luffy stretched his arms, grabbed the building in the distance, and launched himself like a slingshot.

"Krokdal, I'm going to beat you away!"

Luffy flew over and smashed Crocodile's body into pieces and fell to the ground.After seeing Crocodile recover, he showed a clear and stupid expression.

Ciel turned to look at Ace and said, "Have we told him about Crocodile's abilities before?"

Ace covered his face, it was hard to describe how rough his brother was.

And as the confrontation between Luffy, Smoker and Crocodile ended, the real melee began.
