The son of the dragon who walks

Charles had no intention of troubling Crocodile at first.After all, Crocodile has fallen rapidly since he failed to challenge Whitebeard.

Crocodile once fought to a draw with the Devil's Successor Barret, and was considered by the world's governments to be a pawn to check and balance the Four Emperors. No one could have imagined that Crocodile's strength would plummet in just a few years.

A natural ability user was defeated by a newcomer who didn't know how to be domineering in his own home environment. If it weren't for the appearance of Hawkeye earlier, it would really make people doubt the gold content of the Shichibukai.

Even if the opponent has the protagonist aura activated, Crocodile's poor performance in this battle cannot be concealed.

After the fight with Kaido, Ciel had a good idea of ​​the level of the world's strong men, so naturally he looked down on the current Crocodile.

However, through Mr. 5, Ciel could probably guess what happened.But someone from Baroque Studio saw Charles flying in Chongming and reported it to his superiors.

Whether it is a big bird that can carry people and is kept as a strategic weapon for air power, or it can be used as a rare creature to exchange for money, it is quite tempting.

I don’t know if it was Crocodile himself who gave the order, but Baroque Studio decided to snatch Chongming away.The weak eat the strong, and this is how the law of the strong has everything is followed in the sea.

But Mr. 5 sent by Baroque Studio was far weaker than Ciel.

Mr.5 just wanted to pick more noses, but he couldn't move his raised hand.

He was locked, like a small animal targeted by a monster. He even forgot the instinct of survival and could only huddle up and wait for death to come.

Miss Valentine just blinked her eyes, only to find that Mr. 5 beside her was missing, and the sound of something hitting the ground came from behind.

Miss. Valentine opened her mouth and looked at Ciel who put his legs down in front of him.

'Hit the iron plate! 'This is the only thought in Miss Valentine's mind right now. She didn't see clearly how Ciel got from the back of the big bird to Mr. 5 and kicked him.

There is only one possibility, and that is that the opponent's strength far exceeds his own, and the gap is beyond his imagination.

Subconsciously, he was about to activate the ability of the light and heavy fruit he had eaten. By adjusting his weight, she could float like a feather.

But as soon as her feet left the ground, her body was pressed back.Looking at the hot sword on her shoulder, Miss. Valentine's face turned pale.

Stella said with a kind smile: "Miss, please don't move, otherwise something very dangerous will happen!"

Ciel's feet rubbed on the ground, as if they were stained with something dirty.Then he looked at Miss Valentine and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now, so I won't talk nonsense.

Do you have the eternal pointer to Alabasta? Please hand it over! "

The smile on Ciel's face was quite sunny, but Miss. Valentine's Day felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

……

Alabasta, Rainland.

As drought spreads across the country, the rainlands are one of the few well-preserved oases.

And because Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, is stationed here, neither pirates nor civil strife have affected this place.

So in recent years the Rainlands have become the paradise city of Alabasta.

But no one knows that Rainland has now become the headquarters of the famous Baroque Studio.The reason is simple, because the real boss of Baroque Studio is here.

Under the Rain Banquet of the Casino, a huge ocean view tank serves as a wall, giving this office under the desert a dreamy feel.

A huge crocodile with a banana on its head swims lazily in the water, and the fangs exposed from its open mouth from time to time show the ferocity of this beast.

A man wearing a coat is sitting on a chair. From the back, only the man's big back head can be seen exposed from the backrest.

"Miss.Allsunday, Miss.Wednesday...no, it should be Princess Vivi Naferutali. How is the situation handled?" The phone bug on the table has long turned into a cowboy hat with a light smile on his face. A woman's voice came out from the smile.

"The execution failed. She got involved with the Straw Hat Pirates. And she also knew your identity, Mr. 0."

Crocodile whispered: "The Straw Hat Pirates? What are their origins?"

The phone bug replied: "They are new pirates from the East China Sea, but they are quite strong. All of us at Whiskey Peak have been defeated."

Crocodile looked at the swimming banana crocodile and said angrily: "You have always been there! They are just a group of fish pirates from the weakest sea, why don't you deal with them!"

Although I have long known that the person opposite the phone bug has different intentions, this kind of aboveboard fishing behavior is really annoying.

The simulated expression of the phone bug did not change at all, and he said calmly: "I am just a scholar, and the other party is not that easy to deal with.

In addition, they have already gone to the small garden, and the unlucky duo has also made the portrait. If you want to deal with them, arrange for someone to go there! "

Reminding himself that the other party was indispensable to his plan, Crocodile suppressed his anger and said: "In that case, just go back to Alabasta! I will let the idle senior agents go to the small garden to deal with them.

By the way, if you're on your way, you can go and see Mr. 5. He took on a mission but hasn't replied yet. "

"understood!"

The phone bug only replied with this sentence before hanging up, and the office became quiet.

Crocodile didn't know that the two things he said on the phone would cause quite a lot of trouble.Especially the second thing he only mentioned once, it will make him understand what it means to have disaster fall from the sky.

And now even if Crocodile knew what happened, it was already too late to regret it. Ciel was already on his way to Alabasta.

But even if you fly, traveling on the sea is not always smooth.

Ciel encountered a storm on the way. Although there was no danger to Ciel, the matter of fighting Crocodile was not so urgent that he had to brave the rain.

So Charles and Stella stayed on an island for three days, waiting for the rain to clear before continuing on their way.

What Ciel didn't know was that the Straw Hat Pirates had just left Drum Island at the same time he set off.

After the chaos at Whiskey Peak, the Straw Hat Pirates set out with Vivi, the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, who revealed her true identity.

The historian Nicole Robin, who had the code name Miss.Allsunday in Baroque Studio, also appeared at that time.

Because Luffy didn't want to take the route arranged by others, he crushed the eternal pointer to Alabasta that Robin gave them for unknown purposes.

So the group of people followed the guidance of the record pointer and headed to the next stop, the small garden.

There they met two former captains of the Giant Soldier Pirates, Aki Oni Broki and Aoki Tori, who had been fighting each other for 100 years.

After defeating the pursuers of the Baroque Studio, he left the small garden under the command of two giants.

But Nami was accidentally bitten by a bug in the small garden and contracted the ancient virus.For treatment, the group went to the Drum Kingdom, a powerful medical country.

Another series of events happened. Luffy defeated the former king who abandoned the kingdom and fled, allowing the "Sakura" of Drum Island to bloom.And Chopper, the blue-nosed reindeer, the ship’s doctor, also boarded the ship there.

In order to save Alabasta at Weiwei's request, the Golden Melly began to move towards this desert country.

Of course, Ciel arrived at Rapeseed Town, a seaport city in Alabasta, before them.
