Great Voyage: The Beginning of Mary Joa

Chapter 25

The storm dissipated, and the whole world has returned to peace.

The huge armor Susanoo quickly dissipated. Even though it only lasted for a short period of time, Ivan’s forehead was already sweating.

The third stage Susanoo is still only suitable as a killer, and cannot be used casually.

Ivan thought.

The Susanoo dissipated, and Crocodile fell to the ground.

He said nothing, just staring at Ivan.

The strength of this kid reminded him of the man he used to be.

Douglas Barrett!

The same young age, the same strength!

But at that time, he could still fight Douglas Barrett, but now, he was ruthlessly crushed by the kid in front of him! He had no power to fight back! What on earth is he doing?

What on earth has he been doing in the past few years?

Crocodile almost bit his teeth.

“It has completely turned into a ruin.”

Ivan looked around and saw only a piece of yellow sand.

The originally prosperous port town had been destroyed by the storm, and the remaining half was also crumbling. The destructive power of natural ability users is no joke.

Even a weak ability like the Sand-Sand Fruit can easily do this.

Ivan lowered his head and looked at Crocodile who was lying on the side.

“So, what to do with you?”

“Kill me.”

Crocodile said coldly,”Do you still expect me to surrender to you?”

Crocodile’s anger and shame made his heart surge.

“Are you so impatient to die?”

Ivan just looked down at the man,”How ugly, Crocodile, it seems that Whitebeard has really defeated you completely.”

Crocodile’s eyes suddenly widened, and he tried hard to sit up, but all he could do was barely lift his body a little, and then he fell down again.

“What do you know, little brat!”

That kind of unrivaled power! That invincible man!

That white beard…

Crocodile was suddenly stunned.

This was the first time he suddenly realized.

Was he so scared?

This kid was right, he was indeed completely defeated.

Until now, he was still trapped in that failure.

Until now, he was still repeating that defeat.

Ivan couldn’t see Crocodile’s expression. After all, this guy had already become like a bloody man in the previous battle, and his expression was completely invisible. Ivan just slowly drew his sword,”Then let me take you there.”

“Wait!”

However, Crocodile suddenly said,”I suddenly don’t want to die.”

Ivan raised his eyebrows,”Are you talking to me? I don’t care what you think of me.” He covered the blade with his sword, ready to cut off the guy’s neck.

“Don’t worry, kid,”

Crocodile was clearly begging for mercy, but he used a very tough tone,”Just think of it as I owe you a favor.”

“Oh?”

Ivan curled his lips. He was so arrogant. If you didn’t know, you would think he was begging for mercy.

“If you still think it’s not enough, then I can share with you a secret that can subvert the world!”

Crocodile thought for a while,”Do you know Pluto?”

“This country hides the secret of the ancient weapon Pluto!”

It can be seen that he really doesn’t want to die. He is even ready to tell the secret he has been planning for a long time.

Ivan finally put down the knife.

Crocodile raised the corner of his mouth,”But this is all I know. I don’t know what the secret is. I only know that it is related to the royal family of Alabasta, the Nefertari family.”

Ivan said,”It’s really hard for me to imagine that you would actually beg for mercy.”

Such a proud man would actually bow his head.

Ivan originally thought that he would greet death with a smile.

“Begging for mercy?”

Crocodile looked at him with disdain,”Isn’t this a deal?””

Deal?

Ivan chuckled. He

‘s really tough.

“Since you owe me a favor, please help me do something.”

I just happened to be doing something very interesting next time, so you can help me.”

“What’s the matter?

Crocodile asked subconsciously.

Ivan leaned down and whispered to Crocodile

“Are you crazy?”

Crocodile’s tone suddenly became sharp,”Do you know what this means?””

Mad man!

This kid is definitely a lunatic! This is something that ordinary people can’t think of!

“Do you want to regret it?”

Ivan didn’t care and asked calmly.

“……”

Crocodile gritted his teeth, and then he finally nodded with difficulty,”Of course I will keep my word! Since I’ve agreed, then what’s wrong with me going crazy with you!”

“”Excellent.”

Ivan nodded gently and sheathed his knife.

He would not let Rayleigh, Shakira, and Hancock help him because he did not want to affect them.

But a scum like Crocodile naturally did not care.

“That’s all for today.”

Ivan looked around, ready to ask someone for directions, but there was nothing but a desert all around. Even those who survived the storm had already run away to who knows where.

He could only look down at Crocodile,”Do you know how to get to Albana?”

“Hahaha, are you so impatient?”

Crocodile naturally thought that Ivan was going to ask the Nefertari family about Hades,”Then take me with you.”

Ivan lowered his head and looked at this guy.

“Do you think anyone dares to stay nearby?”

Crocodile said as a matter of course,”And I also need treatment.”

“Let’s go to the nearest town, where there are moving crabs. We can easily cross the desert by riding them! Otherwise, how long are you going to run?”

The area of Alabasta is a full 10 million square kilometers! How long will it take to reach the destination by walking on your own?

“”Hmph.”

Ivan snorted and casually summoned a ghost ninja to carry Crocodile on his back.

This casual move once again made Crocodile look confused.

What kind of ability does this kid have?

A few days later, outside the city of Albana, the capital of Alabasta, a huge crab came across the desert.

Ivan was wearing a thin cloak to block the excess sunlight.

Looking at the city built on the high ground in the distance, Ivan was rarely shocked.

This is a real ancient city that has existed for more than four thousand years!

“We’re finally here!”

There was a cloaked man behind Ivan, it was Crocodile,”Are we going directly to the palace next?”

“Of course.”

Ivan did not hesitate.

Later,

Ivan walked on the streets of Albana.

As expected of an ancient city with an astonishingly long history, the city was filled with an absolutely ancient atmosphere.

Any house was probably much older than Ivan’s age.

However, it was just ancient.

Very shabby.

As the capital of a big country, Ivan could only describe the city as shabby.

There were not many shops on the streets, and pedestrians were even sparse.

Business was probably poor and pitiful.

“”It’s a country with nothing to offer except its large area and long history.”

Crocodile walked beside Ivan, joking,”But it is also because of its long history that it can hide many secrets.”

Ivan walked forward, heading towards the palace, and said calmly,”Can you still laugh? It’s already notorious in this country.”

Several days have passed, and the battle that took place in the port town of Rapeseed has spread throughout Alabasta, and even caused a little ripple throughout the world.

The hero of Alabasta, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, destroyed almost half of Rapeseed when fighting the enemy, and the people of Alabasta were instantly furious.

Countless people who survived the disaster accused Crocodile of his atrocities.

The hero of Alabasta became a sewer rat overnight.

There was even public opinion in the newspapers suggesting that the government deprive Crocodile of his status as a Seven Warlord of the Sea.

It is conceivable that the royal family of Alabasta is probably exchanging views with the government at this time.

Crocodile’s Seven Warlords of the Sea may really come to an end.

“”It doesn’t matter.”

Crocodile didn’t care about it. He didn’t even care about Pluto, so what was a mere Shichibukai?

Crocodile had found his original intention and recalled why he went to sea in the first place.

Pirate King!

That was the only goal he should fight for!

“”Hmph.”

Ivan snorted.
