Starting from pirates and burning the world

An earth-shaking explosion occurred deep in the desert, and air waves picked up sand and dust and spread in all directions.

Countless desert swords around the battlefield turned into scattered sand and flowed into the ground again in twos and threes.

Crocodile, who was covered in injuries, was breathing heavily and half-kneeling in the distance. The golden hook on his left hand has been chopped off, leaving only a ball.

"Damn it! How could there be such unreasonable swordsmanship?"

The feeling of powerlessness in Sand Crocodile's heart almost overwhelmed his reason. If it hadn't been for his home turf in the desert, he might have been killed on the spot. The opponent's sword power was beyond imagination. Whether it was a desert diamond sword or a crescent-shaped sand dune, it was easily chopped into pieces.

As long as you and your opponent stay in a stalemate for just a little longer, you will be knocked into a trance by that magical overlord-like will attack. The moment it touched, there was a huge wound, and the blood flowed endlessly.

And Noah was also amazed at Crocodile's tenacity at this time. It can be seen that many times he relied on perseverance to get through. Even if the blood was almost drained, he still looked like a big boss, and his big back was still the same. It was smooth and smooth, but it was a pity that the cigar was blown at the beginning.

Noah didn't want to drag it out anymore, so he killed him with the next blow. The noise here is so loud that no matter how generous the King of Alabasta is, he will send someone to check it out.

This time he carefully accumulated his strength, and the sense of danger on the sword increased to another level, and the red light became deeper and deeper. Seeing this, Crocodile also squeezed out the last bit of his strength. Even if he died, he would still do it vigorously. It could be regarded as his swan song.

The direct confrontation between the sword energy and the sandstorm lasted for less than a minute, and ended with the sword energy's complete victory.

After the condensed sword energy attacked the opponent, it was deflected by Noah, and most of the power was driven into the ground.

The desert boiled again, forced to bear the damage it shouldn't have to bear.

Throw away the dust. Crocodile lay on the ground, ambition lost in his eyes. Once again, once again he fell at the hands of others. Is this kind of me still qualified to compete for the position of Pirate King?

"Why did you let me go in the end? Pity? Still want me to join your ridiculous cause? Just kill me."

"That's not true. I just think you are doing a good job so far. I mean hunting pirates. In general, Alabasta has indeed been peaceful for a period of time because of your presence. As for the private things, I I’m still hesitating. After all, you haven’t really done it yet, so it’s very troublesome and hard to determine.”

"You know what I came here to do?"

Crocodile was very disdainful, you are stronger than me, how could you possibly know what I am going to do.

"Actually, Pluto is not here, and even if you get Pluto, you won't be able to become the Pirate King."

Actually know.

This sentence shattered his purpose and expectations.

Seeing Crocodile lying on the ground without speaking, Noah decided to take the initiative to chat. This time was particularly suitable for chatting. A person who has been beaten down always listens better.

"Roger knows the whereabouts of all ancient weapons, Pluto, Sea King, and King of Heaven. But he did not rely on these things to become the Pirate King."

Hearing what Noah said, Crocodile still regained his spirits. He felt that the guy who almost hacked himself to death seemed to know a lot, so let's listen to it.

"Do you know what conditions need to be met to become the Pirate King?"

"First of all, you need to be at least as strong as Whitebeard. Secondly, you need to know the secrets that many people don't know. Thirdly, you need to go to places that no one else has been to. Finally, you need to make the world government hate you very much. .”

Crocodile could understand the first three, but he didn't understand the last one.

"Because, the name One Piece can be spread all over the world. It is the handiwork of the World Government. He is respected as the Pirate King by the world, but the real world will not give him such a name.

Will Whitebeard recognize Roger as the king of all pirates just because he has been to Rafdru? The World Government gave Roger such a title in order to praise and kill Roger.

However, Roger's subsequent actions confirmed this title, breaking out of the World Government's calculations and making him the Pirate King. "

"One piece?"

"Yes, through the legend of the Great Secret Treasure, Roger started the era of great pirates and spread free will all over the world. From my point of view, this point is very complicated, so I won't go into it.

What do you think you can do? "

It hurts my heart, old man, why don't you just say that I have no hope? Crocodile rolled his eyes.

At this time, Noah's sense of sight and color sensed that someone was coming from a distance.

"Forget it, let's continue chatting somewhere else. I don't want to be seen by others just yet."

After saying that, he opened the door of Sand Crocodile and went straight to his Rainland headquarters.

Five minutes after Noah left, Bell flew over.

The noise in the desert before was so great that there was no need for traveler legends, it was just the bright wind and thunder rising from the plains. There were sandstorms that blocked the sky, huge gas explosion clouds, lightning and thunder under the dark clouds, and an inexplicable red light.

Kobra, who was accompanying his daughter, saw a vision in the distance and immediately summoned Bell the Falcon, Jaka the Jackal, and the ministers. This abnormal celestial phenomenon made them feel frightened.

After all, it is a superpower on the Grand Line. Kobra generally understands the meaning of humanoid natural disasters. The sandstorm in the distance was probably caused by the national hero Crocodile. It was obvious that he was fighting a powerful enemy.

It has to be said that Sand Crocodile's people have set up the team very well, and even the king trusts him for the time being. They were actually worried about the safety of the sand crocodile, especially when a sandstorm was completely suppressed by the red light.

Fortunately, their remaining sanity allowed them to know not to disturb a battle of this level for the time being, as it would be a hindrance.

After the dust settled, Bell was allowed to use his air mobility to conduct reconnaissance.

The scene that fell in front of Bell made him almost fall from the air.

The terrain was completely changed, and a deep pit with a diameter of several hundred meters appeared in the middle of the desert. The dark cave entrance is bottomless, and the fine sand around it is constantly filling in.

In addition to deep pits, various cracks are like scars, leaving traces in the desert area that will not be eliminated in a short time.

Apart from this devastated battlefield, Bell flew around for a long time and found no other living beings left here. What kind of battle is this?

He quickly flew back to report to the king.

Cobra frowned deeply after hearing what Bell said.

It's very difficult for a master of this level to come to Alabasta and start a fight with Crocodile.

This country has no capacity to resist such people.

I would like to apologize to everyone, but I have been worried about a lot of trivial matters recently, so I had a few extra drinks with my friends yesterday, which delayed today’s update.

I will definitely make up for everyone next week, a lot of it.
