One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Ode!

Crocodile turned into several sandstorms, scattered in the surrounding sand, dodging back and forth.

As a user with natural Devil Fruit abilities, and in a home field that matches his "element", Crocodile's mobility is unrivaled.

He has no interest in fighting close combat with primitive people!

The best option is to use speed control from a distance to slowly consume the primitive man's physical strength.

"Hehehehe..."

Crocodile held a cigar in his mouth, flashing around and waving a few sandstorms at Alvin Lindsay in the center.

It feels just right!

But in the next second, Crocodile, who was retreating, suddenly felt that he had "bumped" into something.

"?!"

Crocodile turned around and looked, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

When I lowered my head again, I was surprised to find several "inward arrows" under my feet!

"This is……"

"!"

Crocodile Dalton felt bad and looked around.

I saw that with Alvin Lindsay as the center of the circle, there was a circle of inward arrows on the surrounding ground!

The flow of force changes.

From being naturally distributed evenly everywhere, to being all directed inwards, pointing towards Alvin Lindsay!

"Aha!"

Lindsay stood up straight, clasped her illusory arms and clapped her hands together.

Snapped!

Visible fluctuations spread around, squeezing the arrows inward.

"Tsk!"

For a moment, Crocodile only felt the "force" pushing him, forcing him to reduce the scope of his actions and go straight to Alvin Lindsay.

The sense of confusion that he was unable to control himself caused Crocodile's expression to change, and he instinctively launched an attack with all his strength.

The gravel surged and formed a sharp long-handled sword, which he swung at Lindsay.

Desert Great Sword!

Uh-huh!

The blade was about to hit Alvin Lindsay's body, but at that moment, it hit the "finger" of the illusory arm first.

The arrows that formed the illusory arm spread on the sword, further invaded Crocodile's body, and were distributed on the surface of his body.

The arrows are messed up, and the flow of force is scattered everywhere.

Lindsay opened her eyes suddenly, the arrows wandering in her pupils, and finally locked on Crocodile.

Stretch out your finger and tap lightly.

boom!

The arrows scattered in all directions, and Crocodile's body was torn apart!

…

The outcome has been decided.

The gravel reunited and turned into the appearance of Crocodile.

He simply put on a new cigar, sat cross-legged on the ground again, and recalled the battle just now.

There is no doubt that the development of Shasha fruit has gone further.

But even so, it still can't match the speed of evolution of Alvin Lindsay!

"Renren Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Devil Form..."

Crocodile murmured the name and thought silently:

"Is there really a 'demon' in this world?"

"No, the ability of Devil Fruit does not necessarily exist in reality!"

"For example, [Wise General] Warring States Period, his Renren Fruit, Phantasmal Beast Species, and Great Buddha Form, there is no real 'Buddha' in this world."

"So...where does the devil fruit's ability come from?"

Crocodile recalled what happened before.

"What is the relationship between the true infinite earth and the source of Devil Fruit's abilities?"

"What did the ancients discover?"

"..."

The more you think about it, the more questions you will have, and even many fantastic ideas will pop up!

Crocodile, a pragmatist through and through, didn't like this feeling.

"Isn't this the same as primitive people!"

"..."

At this moment, Alvin Lindsay also sat down.

He had just sweated so much and was in a good mood, so he took out the last two bananas.

Hand one to Crocodile.

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "Alas..."

He took the banana and peeled it while planning to talk about something more pragmatic.

"The information on Infinite Land comes from Enelu."

"On the other side, I found something more interesting in the Golden Lion's base camp."

Crocodile took a bite of the banana and slowly spit out the name:

"[Ancient Weapon] - Hades."

Crocodile had no intention of hiding this from Lindsay.

In fact, he is no longer too lazy to compete with primitive people.

Anyway, the goal is to find "ancient things". Instead of wasting energy, it is better to explain it clearly at the beginning.

as expected.

After hearing this, Alvin Lindsay just ate the banana silently and did not show any surprise.

Crocodile continued:

"The whereabouts of Pluto's 'original body' are unknown, but there are more primitive records in the Golden Lion's base camp."

"——Pluto's design!"

Crocodile's eyes narrowed.

"I asked Robin to translate it. According to ancient documents, the so-called 'Pluto' is actually a terrifying battleship beyond the imagination of the world."

“It was built by people, and the place where it was built still exists today!”

"To be honest, I don't like that place very much..."

"With too much 'water' and 'sea', it will be difficult for the Shasha Fruit to exert its power."

Crocodile paused and said the name:

“Once the world’s number one shipyard—the capital of the Seven Waters!”

"..."

…

The next target is determined.

Alvin Lindsay, Crocodile, and Nicole Robin were traveling together.

Needless to say about the first two, Robin must also go with him.

She couldn't completely trust Crocodile, and she always felt that Alvin Lindsay was a little too open-minded, and even his brain circuit was not right.

It's about an [ancient weapon] that can destroy the world, and Robin must find out the truth.

But on the other side, the three of them were not in a hurry to leave.

The impact of this incident is too great, and countless eyes are staring at Alabasta.

If we set out at this time, I am afraid that every move will be monitored by others, and it will be difficult to have the opportunity to operate secretly.

So the three of them chose to wait patiently until the superficial turmoil subsided.

…

About two months later.

The situation in Alabasta is gradually improving.

Except for Arupana, the royal capital that was hardest hit, most residents in other places have returned to normal life.

As for the reconstruction of Arupana, the progress has been greatly accelerated with the assistance of many Devil Fruit users.

Crocodile continued to search for any information that might have been left behind, and at the same time sanded down the useless wreckage to make it easier to transport.

Lindsay, in Diqui mode, helped stabilize Arupana's foundation and excavated a large amount of stone.

Uta, Robin and others had nothing to do, but they also did their part.

Until early that morning, everyone was ready to set off and arrived at the port city "Rape Flower" early.

Another voyage, another separation.

Another new adventure.

set sail.

…

Kobra, Gordon, and everyone from Alabasta and Elegia were at the dock to bid farewell to the three of them.

Cobra has a good political vision and a kind heart, so he will naturally not refuse Gordon's request.

Alabasta has formed an alliance with Elegia, and the former will fully support Elegia's pioneering project.

Cobra even promised that he would try his best to assist Gordon in restoring Elegia's status as a franchised country in the future world conference!

…

Gordon stood at the pier, looking at the ships gradually leaving, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Ah, that's great!"

"In this way, the country of music will not disappear into the sea, and the destinations of many musicians will not disappear either!"

"I have completed half of Your Majesty's commission [Red Hair]."

"The rest is to teach Uta well and make her become a top musician..."

"Um?"

After sighing at this point, Gordon was suddenly startled, and then looked around, his expression suddenly changed.

"Where's Uta?"

"Lord Kobra, Uta is missing!"

"..."

"that--"

At this moment, a small figure poked its head out.

It was Weiwei, the little princess of Alabasta. She was hiding behind Bell, raising her hands with a guilty look on her face and saying:

"Uta said she likes adventure the most, so she asked me to hide her in a wine barrel on the ship..."

"..."

…

on board.

Crocodile couldn't stand the noise on the deck, so he simply hid in the cabin, planning to eat something first.

When I came to the cabin, I saw a wine barrel jumping back and forth. Finally, a small figure broke through the lid of the barrel and jumped out.

"Wow!"

Uta jumped up, and then landed firmly on the ground. He raised his eyes and saw the stunned Crocodile.

Lindsay and Robin also noticed the movement and stuck their heads out from both sides of the hatch to look inside.

Uta waved vigorously to the three of them and said excitedly:

"Hey, everyone!"

"..."

Seeing this, Crocodile couldn't help but take a puff of his cigar and asked gloomily: "How did you get up here?"

"Ah this..."

Uta opened his mouth, his purple eyes moved back and forth, and he argued bravely:

"Take the freight elevator!"

"..."

Crocodile took another deep breath, said nothing, and turned away.

This ship can't wait any longer!
