Who made him the Pirate King?

Crocodile was born in the Valley of the Gods in the Western Sea!

This is a bold assumption made by Storm based on all the intelligence information currently available.

Crocodile had just shown his unabashed hatred for Buckingham Stussy and the Rocks Pirates.

Storm took note of all Lao Sha's performance.

And the only people who can have a hostile relationship with the Rocks Pirates, who have disappeared for decades, and even have been obsessed with the Rocks Pirates, are probably the residents of the Valley of Gods.

In the year 1486 of the Haiyuan calendar, the Valley of the Gods incident broke out.

The Tianlong people chose this island called "Valley of the Gods" and decided to launch an "Aboriginal Hunting Competition" on the island.

The world's nobles plan to kill more than 100,000 indigenous people in the Valley of the Gods within three weeks, including the poor slaves who were captured and sent to the Valley of the Gods.

The Rocks Pirates came after hearing the news, followed closely by the Roger Pirates, and Garp, then Vice Admiral of the Navy, also arrived...

Many powerful men from the sea gathered in the Valley of Gods.

final.

Roger teamed up with Garp to defeat Rocks.

However, of the more than 100,000 innocent civilians and slaves who originally lived in the Valley of the Gods, only about 500 survived in the end.

Not one in a hundred can be saved!

And after the Valley of Gods incident ended.

It's not just the World Government that has forcibly covered up the truth of this incident.

Even the island of the Valley of the Gods itself has completely disappeared within the scope of the Western Sea...

If Crocodile is a native of the Valley of the Gods.

Then many doubts about him can be explained clearly.

For example, why does the Sand Crocodile hate the Rocks Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates so much...

For example, why does Sand Crocodile dream of establishing a military state that is unrivaled and even surpasses the world government...

For example, why does the Sand Crocodile know information about ancient weapons that ordinary people cannot have access to, and even directly targets Alabasta...

For another example, why did the Demon King Ivankov seize Crocodile’s little excuse...

After all, Ivankov was also a personal experiencer of the Valley of the Gods incident!

It was also because of Ivankov, the Demon King.

Strom felt that Crocodile's gender could be switched between "male" or "female" at will.

Who allows [Superman Hormone Fruit] to change a person's gender at will?

As for "prince" or "princess"...

That wasn't something Storm said casually.

Crocodile's dream height lies here.

Form a powerful force, search for ancient weapons, create a military country, and build a dream utopia...

This is a "dream" that requires a certain amount of "insight" to have.

If Crocodile was just an ordinary resident of the Valley of the Gods, unexpectedly survived the Valley of the Gods incident, and then dreamed of regaining his homeland... it would not be completely impossible.

It’s just that the probability of the latter is relatively small.

Facing Storm's last few questions, Crocodile said nothing, but cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and even his back was completely wet with sweat.

"Ivankov..."

Crocodile suddenly announced the name.

"What did he tell you..."

"It seems that there is no big problem with my guess."

Storm smiled slightly and then said calmly.

"Actually, I just know Ivankov, and he hasn't told me anything related to you.

"Also, one more thing, I know Bartholomew Bear.

"You may not remember the name, but you should know [Meat Ball Fruit], right?"

【Meat Ball Fruit】!

Crocodile fell silent.

Storm was indeed right.

He does still remember this superhuman devil fruit.

More than thirty years ago, the "Aboriginal Hunting Competition" took place in the Valley of the Gods.

The "contest prizes" prepared by the World Government for the Celestial Dragons include two rare and powerful Devil Fruits!

[Superman type·Meat Ball Fruit]!

[Animal type·Fish Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Azure Dragon Form]!

It was because Big Bear took advantage of the chaos and ate the [Meat Ball Fruit] that he was able to use the ability of the [Meat Ball Fruit] to help five hundred people escape from the Valley of Gods.

Otherwise, the number of deaths in the Valley of Gods will continue to increase!

"It seems you really haven't forgotten the [Meat Ball Fruit], Lao Sha."

Storm watched Crocodile's expression carefully, not missing the slightest change in his expression.

"So you are really a native of the Valley of the Gods, right?"

"……boring."

Crocodile just squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.

Then he turned around and left without looking at Storm.

What the White Dragon, what the Cross Guild, what Edward Weibull...

At this time, everything was forgotten by Crocodile.

What he wants to do most now is to leave this golden island, leave the East China Sea, and return to Alabasta!

Storm looked at Crocodile's leaving figure and said one after another.

"The Rocks Pirates have been destroyed..."

"..."

"The Valley of Gods was also completely destroyed..."

"..."

"This is fake."

"!"

Crocodile paused, turned around, and looked at Storm with an extremely complicated expression. Anger, resentment, shock, expectation, fear...all kinds of emotions appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Don't play dumb with me! White Dragon!"

Crocodile strode over, his right hand stretched out to Storm, trying to grab the latter's collar.

Storm patted lightly and directly opened Crocodile's right palm.

"Talk properly, don't make a move."

"You just said, what happened to the Valley of Gods?"

"Intelligence news, one for one."

Storm said lightly.

"I'll ask you first, then you ask me.

"First of all, are you a native of the Valley of Gods?"

"...Yes!"

Crocodile clenched his right fist, and then let it go weakly.

"What happened to the Valley of Gods?"

"Although the Valley of Gods has completely disappeared in the West Sea, it has not been completely destroyed. "

Storm gave a half-answer, and then continued to ask.

"Where did you know about the ancient weapon [Pluto]?"

"Rocks D. Gibeck!"

Crocodile uttered a name, and then asked impatiently.

"Where is the Valley of the Gods?"

"Paradise."

Storm also gave a two-word answer.

Then.

Storm and Crocodile stared at each other.

Finally, Crocodile couldn't help asking.

"Hurry up! Don't you have anything else to ask?"

"No, I'm not really interested in you, so why would I have so many questions."

Storm spread his hands and said honestly.

"Although I have another question to ask...

"But I think if that question is asked, it may affect my opinion of you.

"So Lao Sha, let's stop here! "

The last question Storm wanted to ask but didn't want to ask was -

Is Crocodile a man or a woman?

Trivia.

Although Crocodile has a slicked-back hair, a thick cigar in his mouth, and looks like a leader of a villain party.

But he can ride a camel called "Eyelash" in Alabasta that is only allowed to be ridden by women... (not comics/anime, but character song cover, and some hints)

So Storm feels that Crocodile really has the possibility of becoming a "transgender"!

But if Crocodile becomes a woman...

Storm always feels a little weird, so he simply doesn't ask.

"You bastard! "

Crocodile was so angry that he almost wanted to cut Storm into pieces with the "Desert Greatsword".

People who only speak half of the words are really damned!

Where is the Valley of the Gods in Paradise!?

Crocodile took several deep breaths and suppressed the irritability in his heart.

In any case, he got a very valuable intelligence.

As long as the Valley of the Gods is still in Paradise.

Then the agents of Baroque Studio can find its location!

Crocodile decided not to waste time with the bastard Bailong.

He was about to turn around, but suddenly he remembered something and dropped the last sentence.

"The two giants who stayed in the small garden before, and their two subordinates on the Judicial Island, disappeared in the Devil's Triangle, which is the territory of Gekko Moriah!"

After leaving this sentence, Crocodile no longer hesitated and turned around and left.

"Red Demon Broki, Blue Demon Touri, broke into the Devil's Triangle? "

Storm's brows slightly frowned.

He thought about the strength of Gekko Moriah, and then thought about the level of Red Demon Broki and Blue Demon Dongli.

"There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Storm led Red Demon Broki and Blue Demon Dongli out of the small garden because he felt that the strength of these two giants was good.

And Red Demon Broki and Blue Demon Dongli were both from Elbaf, which is known as the "world's first power".

Whether from the perspective of "themselves" or from the perspective of "power".

Red Demon Broki and Blue Demon Dongli can be regarded as good hands.

But the intelligence information given by Crocodile made Storm very concerned.

Red Demon and Blue Demon, could they have capsized in the horror three-masted sailing ship?

Storm thought for a while, and then stopped entangled in this small problem.

Because He had already made an action plan to go to the Thriller Barque.

After going to the Thriller Barque, it would be almost time to set off for the New World...

In fact.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Edward Weeble's news.

Storm would have already set off for the Thriller Barque.

But now.

There is one last problem to deal with.

Storm watched Crocodile's Baroque Gustav sail away from the waters near the Golden Island.

He pinched out a blue-eyed white dragon, flew high into the sky, and then took out a Den Den Mushi.

"Moshimoshi... Admiral Aokiji... Can you help me contact... Mr. Zephyr?"
