General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 281 Desert Guardian God

On a long and messy street, residents were running away in a hurry, and children were running in panting and frightened.

The bearded pirate in front of him was tall and majestic. In Weiwei's eyes, he was like a mountain of meat.

Behind this pirate, there were hundreds of even more chaotic pirates, chasing some frightened women with a grin.

The pirates were holding large and small bags of property in their hands, and their faces were full of satisfaction.

"If you want to eat apples, go to the boat with your uncle. There are many apples there, so you can eat them every day and be full."

Sotok enjoyed the fearful looks from those around him.

He looked at the petite but very cute little girl in front of him with a smile.

This little girl is not as mature as the dancer in his arms, but she is a complete beauty. She will definitely grow into a beautiful woman who will conquer the country in the future.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the smile on Sotok's face froze.

"Who would go on the ship with a damn pirate like you! You evil guy, get out of Alabasta!"

The girl holding the apple in her hand did not have the fear in her eyes that Sotok expected. Instead, she pointed at his nose and shouted angrily.

The little girl's stubborn and clear voice echoed so abruptly through the chaotic long street.

For a moment, the huge chaotic street fell into an eerie silence.

Pairs of eyes focused on Weiwei who was angrily scolding Sotok.

"What a... rude brat!"

Feeling the countless strange looks coming from around him, Sotok's old face suddenly turned red.

He couldn't bear to be so humiliated by a little girl in public.

"Give me death!"

The huge single-edged ax was held in his hand, and he swung it towards the girl in front of him with a fierce look on his face.

"No! Weiwei!"

The children running from a distance suddenly looked desperate and screamed in fear.

The sharp ax blade quickly enlarged in Weiwei's pupils.

Weiwei wanted to run away, but Sotok's movements in anger were too fast, and a little girl couldn't escape at all.

In Sotok's arms, the hands of the desert dancer caught by him were intertwined.

On the street not far behind him, a young man with freckles on his face had a little fire coming out of his fingertips.

Hundreds of pirates had evil smiles on their faces.

The chaotic crowd on the long street showed unbearable expressions.

call!
Just when the cold blade flashing with the sharp light of death was about to cut the skin on the girl's face, a violent wind suddenly blew up on the long street.

The ground under Sotok and Weiwei's feet quickly turned into sand, and wisps of yellow gravel spiraled up, flew past the girl's ears, turned into a big hand of yellow sand, firmly held Sotok and chopped it down. ax blade.

Then, a deep and deep voice sounded on the long street.

"Hey, pirate, what do you want to do to the country I protect?"

"Who!"

Sotok suddenly raised his head and saw that at some point, a tall man wearing a black cloak, a cigar in his mouth, and a golden hook on his left hand appeared in the middle of the street in front of him, stretching out One right hand blocked the little girl's upturned cheek, holding the ax that chopped him down with one hand.

"You actually held the sharp ax blade with one hand! Who are you, this guy?"

Sotok's expression became serious.

He knew very well that he had not held back just now, and had the intention of killing Weiwei with an axe.

But this man who suddenly appeared suddenly grabbed the ax that he had chopped down.

He tried to pull out the axe, but to no avail. The opponent's fingers were like steel pliers, tightly grasping the blade of the giant axe.

"Crocodahl!"

Suddenly, the residents on the street shouted excitedly.

"The national hero of Alabasta, the patron saint of this desert land, the great King Shichibukai Mr. Crocodile is here! We are saved!"

The residents who were originally panicked and frightened all calmed down the moment Crocodile appeared. With admiration and surprise on their faces, they walked out of the house and gathered around Crocodile.

"You..." Sotok's face turned ugly.

He pushed the desert girl away from his arms, held his weapon and ax with both hands, and the muscles in his arms tried to pull it out.

He gritted his teeth and pushed hard, kicking his feet on the ground.

But the ax seemed to be stuck to Crocodile's right hand, motionless.

"He is Mr. Crocodile, the patron saint of Alabasta."

Weiwei's beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, and she looked up at the tall man who suddenly appeared with her cute little face.

There was a scar that divided the entire face horizontally, but it didn't look ferocious at all at this time. Instead, it made people feel an inexplicable sense of security.

"Captain Sotok!"

"Come on together! Kill him!"

The pirates behind him raised their swords and rushed towards Crocodile.

Crocodile didn't panic. He lowered his head and smiled gently at Weiwei who was looking at him. "Little girl, please hide in a safe place. I have to deal with these hateful pirates first."

"OK, all right!"

Weiwei blushed and ran towards her companions.

Then, Crocodile blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth and sprayed it on Sotok's face. The expression in his eyes became cold, and his tone was cold: "Alabasta is the country that I, Crocodile, protect. This is my hometown. I No one is allowed to run wild here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, sharp knives and spears came from all directions, cutting directly into his body and piercing his body.

Another pirate raised his flintlock gun and shot him.

Only banging gunshots were heard on the long street, and several large holes appeared on Crocodile's tall body.

The left side of his head was pierced by a spinning bullet and blown to pieces.

"Mr. Crocodile!" Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Hahaha! It makes you arrogant and arrogant! Bastard King Shichibukai!"

The pirates laughed.

But Sotok couldn't laugh.

His face turned pale and cold sweat rolled on his forehead.

Because in front of him, Crocodile, who had been penetrated by bullets and cut into his body by swords, was still standing indifferently.

In the large hole exposed in his broken body, there was no bloody flesh, only thick gravel.

Wisps of flying gravel flowed back from the side of his blown-out left eye, gradually replenishing half of his head.

"Natural... Devil Fruit user!" Sotok's mind went blank, and he was about to beg for mercy.

But the next moment, Crocodile moved, and swept his right arm outward in a circle. Wisps of yellow sand flew out from his arm, forming a crescent-shaped blade that extended for more than ten meters. Ten pirates passed through his body!

"Arc Moon Sand Dunes!"

Crocodile snorted.

Wherever the crescent moon sand dune passed by, the pirates screamed in terror.

Under the excited and adoring gazes of countless residents around them, the bodies of the pirates who had been arrogant and ferocious a second ago quickly shriveled up and turned into mummy-like bodies, falling one after another.

The same goes for Sotok, who has a bounty of 5500 million beli.

The water in the originally tall and majestic body was quickly drained, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a skeleton-like skinny man, who knelt in front of Crocodile with a thud.

The neck drooped without muscle support.

The arc-shaped sand blade on Crocodile's right hand did not stop and passed by Sotok's skinny neck again.

Click!

A skull-like head flew high into the sky and rolled down onto the street.

At this moment, Crocodile was wearing a black cloak, with yellow sand flying all over his body. He was tall and had a calm and heavy aura.

He took off the cigar from his mouth and looked up at the crowded residents on the street with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. As long as I, Crocodile, am here, Rainland Oasis and the Kingdom of Alabasta, no pirate can run wild here!"

"Uh oh oh! Long live Mr. Crocodile!"

"So reliable! Mr. Crocodile!"

The residents were moved to tears and chanted Crocodile's name.

The crowd came like a tide and surrounded Crocodile, and the stars surrounded him like a moon.

Someone brought him fresh fruit to express his gratitude.

Crocodile smiled the whole time and nodded to the people from time to time.

In the distance behind him, the freckled young man looked at this scene with a surprised look on his face.

"Unexpectedly, this Crocodile is not as cruel as other pirates at all. Instead, he is a guardian who loves his people like a son."

The desert girl who was caught by Sotok also put down her intertwined hands and stood silently aside, looking at Crocodile who was surrounded by cheerful crowds.

At the street corner, Weiwei took a few apples she picked up from the ground and handed them to her companions. She also turned to look at this scene, and a touching smile appeared on her face.

"Look, even though Alabasta has suffered from drought and unprecedented difficulties over the years, there are still people who are silently guarding this country. Crocodile, the patron saint of the desert, when will I be able to protect it like him?" What about this country..."

After the excited crowd dispersed, Crocodile still maintained a gentle smile, holding a lot of apples and bread in his arms, and followed the Desert Girl into the Rainland Casino ahead.

When he entered the casino, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his expression became cold.

He impatiently threw the apples and bread in his arms into the trash can in the corner.

Following the woman walking in front into the room at the end of the passage, Crocodile sat on the leather sofa behind the table, lit himself a cigar again, and started puffing away.

"Nicole Robin, how are the preparations for the new batch of dancing fans?"

He said casually, and just as he was about to pick up the red wine on the table, the woman standing next to him reached out and took it, and poured him a glass of red wine as red as blood.

Watching Crocodile take a sip of red wine, a smile appeared on Robin's face, and he said softly: "It's been prepared and is on its way to be transported. It will be transported by a new pirate group who just came from all over the world to ensure that It will catch the attention of anyone who cares.”

"Very good! When the dancing fans arrive, we can officially start to implement the Utopia battle plan. Let Mr2 rush to the capital as soon as possible and imitate Kobra's appearance." Crocodile put down his wine glass with satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

Robin immediately walked to the door, looked outside, and then opened the door.

"Miss-allsunday, there is the latest newspaper from the World News Agency. On... above..."

There was a trace of panic that could not be concealed on the visitor's face, which made Robin frown slightly.

"You go down."

Robin took the newspaper, closed the door again, then turned and walked towards Crocodile sitting behind the table.

Her eyes briefly scanned the newspaper, roughly scanning the news about Rorschach, and then when she saw the death list in the corner of the newspaper, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Has anything big happened recently? Has the conflict between the Four Emperors in the New World come to an end..."

Crocodile held a thick cigar in his mouth, slowly swaying the red wine in the glass with his right hand, and took the newspaper handed by Robin with his left hand.

When he saw the complete contents of the newspaper, the smile on his face solidified little by little.

Clap!

There was a crisp sound of glass breaking, and the goblet held in his right hand was crushed between his fingers.

Scarlet bloodshot eyes appeared in Crocodile's eyes, and he clenched the newspaper in his hand tightly.

An angry growl erupted from his throat, causing Robin standing next to him to tremble slightly.

"Mr1! Dead!"

boom!
The table in front of him suddenly flew forward, smashed into pieces on the wall of the room, and turned into splinters on the floor.

Crocodile stood up with an extremely gloomy expression and stared at the contents of the newspaper in his hand.

'...The heroic naval warriors, under the leadership of Commodore Rorschach, successfully defeated the invading pirate fleet of 12 people.The pirates killed include: Qingjiao, the 1th generation pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy, Gulliver, the former vice president of the Bounty Hunter Guild, Absalom, a senior cadre under Moonlight Moria, and Baroque Co., Ltd. Senior member, West Sea Killer Dazbonis, codenamed Mr[-]...'

Daz turned out to be dead.

I thought I was just letting him go to Spring Queen City for a formality, but I didn't expect that he went in at a loss.

Although Crocodile worked hard to establish the Baroque Working Club, he did not pay attention to the members he recruited except for Dazbonis, whose strength was barely enough to catch his eye.

Although there are quite a few capable people inside, they are all a bunch of trash.

Even if all the members inside died, he wouldn't feel bad.

Only Mr. 1 Dazbonis was recognized by Crocodile because of his calm nature and loyalty, and was regarded as his only confidant.

But now, he saw the news of Daz's death in the newspaper.

"Damn Gulliver! Where is the guaranteed one? That bastard who deserves to go to hell! And the Bounty Hunter Guild, and this Commodore Rorschach!"

Crocodile fell into a state of rage, and suddenly looked at Robin with a pair of scarlet and bloodshot eyes.

The ferocious aura rushed towards him, making Robin's heart tremble.

"Give me the order to have Mr. 2, that loser, go to the royal capital immediately. I want to start the Utopia battle plan now! Also, ask others to go to Whiskey Peak and bring me all the heads of those bounty hunters. One Do not stay!"

"But, Mr0, the last batch of dancing fans has not arrived yet..."

Before Robin could say anything, his slender white neck was pinched by a big dry hand, and his whole body was lifted into the air.

Crocodile grabbed her neck and lifted her up, his voice cold as ice: "I said, start the Utopia battle plan directly, I don't want to wait any longer!"

"Yes..." Robin nodded in a difficult tone.

Bang.

Crocodile dropped her to the ground and continued to look at the newspaper in his hand.

Suddenly, the phone in his arms rang rapidly.

Crocodile took out the phone and answered it with a gloomy expression.

"Krokdal, I am Moria!"

Moglia's eerie voice came from the phone bug in Crocodile's hand, causing Luo Bing, who was holding his neck and coughing, to tremble.

Moonlight Moria, another king of the Shichibukai!

Crocodile frowned and said in a low voice: "Moonlight Moria, why are you contacting me? There is no business relationship between us..."

"Ahem, hehe, I'm not looking for you to discuss business. I just want to join forces with you to do something together."

Moria's ferocious face full of fangs was vividly imitated by the phone bug.

"Then you have found the wrong person, I will not join forces with anyone!"

Crocodile blew out a mouthful of cigar smoke, looked indifferent, and was about to hang up the phone.

Moria's cold voice came: "Wait! Don't you want to avenge your subordinates?"

"What do you mean?"

Crocodile's movements paused in mid-air.

"Did you see the news in the newspaper?"

Moria gritted his teeth, and his entire face was distorted with excessive anger, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"My subordinate Absalom was killed by that navy! You also lost an effective subordinate, right? That Western Sea killer Dazbonis."

Crocodile didn't speak, just looked at the phone bug indifferently.

Few outsiders know that he is the boss behind Baroque Works.

Even the members of the Baroque Working Society themselves did not know who they were serving.

Crocodile has been hiding behind the scenes, with Robin, codenamed Missallsunday, giving the orders.

But Crocodile did not show much surprise that Moonlight Moria, who was also a Shichibukai, could know this information.

Although Moria lives in the Devil's Triangle all day long, he is a king of the Shichibukai, and he still has many of his own information channels and business opportunities in the outside world.

"I will not cooperate with anyone. He is just a commodore and a navy kid. If he dares to come to my territory, I will make him live or die." Crocodile still refused.

"Not a brigadier general, but a major general. Hehehehe, I know you are arrogant, Crocodile." Moria smiled strangely, and the smile looked very ferocious, "Me too. But... I think we have to Admit the fact that this young Rear Admiral Rorschach is already a very troublesome guy."

"I don't know how strong Qingjiao is. But I think you should have some idea of ​​the strength of that old guy Gulliver, right?"

Crocodile was silent.

He did fight Gulliver.

A few years ago, Gulliver came to Alabasta to discuss matters with him.

That time, he was forced into a very embarrassing situation.

If it weren't for the fact that the battle took place in the great desert of Alabasta, where he had ample environmental advantages, he would have been defeated by Gulliver.

"That old guy Gulliver is dead. If we don't take this Major General Rorschach seriously, we are looking down on ourselves. Moreover, the newspaper said that he is also a user with the ability of the animal type Phantom Beast. Phantom Beast You should know what kind of characteristics it is.”

At this point, even Robin could hear the anger in Moria's tone.

After a long silence, Crocodile said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple. The three parties cooperate to find the most suitable place to kill him, and kill that Major General Rorschach with the power of thunder!"

"Three-way cooperation?" Crocodile frowned.

"Ahem, hehe, have you forgotten that Qingjiao from the Kingdom of Flowers also died in the Queen of Spring City? They were the ones who contacted me first. The Kingdom of Flowers in the West Sea has dispatched two of the most powerful naval forces in the country. , rushing towards the paradise."

A terrifying smile finally appeared on Moria's face, as if she had seen Rorschach's body fall.

This time, he didn't want to capture Rorschach alive and harvest his shadow.

Moriah just wants to kill Rorschach, avenge Absalom, and then turn Rorschach's body into a zombie.

"The pirate navy of the Kingdom of Flowers?" Crocodile pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Yes, but it will take some time."

"How long?" Moria didn't ask why.

"Two months."

"Okay, it just so happens that the large army from the Kingdom of Flowers will arrive, and it will take a long time."

The Devil's Triangle, on the terrifying barque.

Moria hung up the phone bug in his hand, grinned in a huge arc, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, and looked at Hogback at his feet.

"Hogbark, have someone move the ship. I'm going to the sea to find a shadow strong enough to resurrect Oz!"

"Yes! Lord Moria!" Huogubak took the order and left.

Perona, who was holding the stuffed bear in her arms, had red eyes and ran to Moria with tears in her eyes. She asked in a crying voice: "Lord Moria, Absalom... is he really dead?" Yet?"

"He's really dead! Damn Gulliver, he turned into me, deceived him, and was killed by the damn navy! But don't worry, Perona! I will definitely help Absalom get revenge. , don’t be too sad, just go back and take a nap, and I’ll ask Huo Guback to make some more puppet zombies for you.”

Moria stretched out her huge palm and touched the crying Perona. The strange tone in her mouth seemed unexpectedly soft at this time.

"Yes." Perona pursed her lips, tears falling down, and she turned around and left Moria's castle.

When Moria was the only one left at the top of the huge castle, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

The huge and bloated body slumped down, sat down on the ground, and leaned against the wall, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

His bloodshot eyes were vaguely glimmering with crystals. He clenched his hands and punched the ground in front of him hard, making a dull sound.

tick.tick.

Groups of tears dripped from his eyes and shattered on the ground.

Absalom, Hogbark and Perona have been his companions for a long time.

Among them, Absalom has followed him the longest.

In order to become stronger, that guy even asked Hogback to transform his body.

However, just like more than ten years ago, my incompetent self once again lost my companions.

"Damn it!! Navy Rorschach! If you dare to kill my comrades, I will absolutely, absolutely, never let you go!"

From the top of the gloomy and dark castle, the beast's heart-rending roar rang out.

　Thanks to the brothers for their monthly votes, and thanks to Muye for the coin reward.
