I got the Seshomaru template and Luffy invited me to board the ship

“Luffy, take care of him!”

“Okay.”

Since the hostages have been rescued, and Luffy is clearly in a dominant position at the moment.

Then Zangetsu decided to let Luffy defeat Crocodile.

After that, Luffy shouted to the sky, covered his fists with the last Armament Haki, and rushed towards Crocodile.

The weak Crocodile was unable to resist and could only passively take the beating.

Spitting blood one mouthful after another.

The seriously injured Crocodile felt this near-death experience.

Recalling a scene.

It was a scene of a young Crocodile fighting.

Covered in blood, he glared at the tall man in front of him holding a long-handled broadsword.

His eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

“Whitebeard, I must defeat you.”

Regardless of the pain all over his body, the young Crocodile activated his ability and used all his strength to cover his scorpion venom needle with Armament Haki.

He launched an attack on Whitebeard in front.

He was at an absolute disadvantage in speed and strength, and was knocked away by Whitebeard in a moment.

Even the Four Emperors Whitebeard did not use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

But Crocodile at that time was different from now.

On the contrary, his behavior was more like Luffy.

He tried to stand up after falling down, and then continued to attack.

Over and over again, until he completely lost the ability to move.

The seriously injured Crocodile was left on this uninhabited island by Whitebeard’s crew to fend for himself.

After waking up, he still had the idea of ​​challenging Whitebeard, but those clips of being beaten always suddenly flashed back in his mind.

The huge gap in force made him desperate.

As long as the consciousness of resistance appeared, he would be dominated by the fear of powerlessness.

Gradually, he fell and returned to the Grand Line.

He became a loser who bullied newcomers.

The pleasure of killing the weak with his ability made him addicted.

Crocodile repeatedly experienced the pleasure of Whitebeard’s complete abuse of him.

Unfortunately, the so-called pleasure of Whitebeard was just what he thought of as Crocodile.

Later, he was addicted to external forces and pursued military power obsessively.

Crocodile believed that one day, he would be able to return the humiliation given by Whitebeard in multiples.

This is trauma.

It can also be understood as a demon in the heart.

But at this moment, he was silent, without any resistance, and was attacked by Luffy punch after punch.

He didn’t understand why such a weak Luffy could beat him.

Is hard work really useful?

Over and over again, repeatedly failed, still stood up and continued to challenge.

The gap between Luffy and him is actually not much smaller than the gap when he faced Whitebeard.

But Luffy did it.

Regardless of whether this straw hat boy has help from outsiders.

But he is about to defeat himself.

Does it mean that if he had worked harder for a while, he could have defeated Whitebeard?

At least, if he continued to practice, there would be a chance, right?

Whitebeard had reached his peak at that time, and he was still in a period of rapid growth.

Why did he give up?

Thinking of this, Crocodile smiled self-deprecatingly.

He activated his right hand ability and forced Luffy back.

He started talking to himself while trying to support his unstable body.

“I was once scared by the strongest man in the world.”

“Since when did I become so sure that my talent is not as good as others?”

“Back then, I was the man who wanted to become the Pirate King.”

“I started from a weak position, defeated many powerful enemies, and became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”

When he said this, Crocodile’s voice suddenly rose.

“How could my talent be worse than others?”

He looked at Luffy.

“Straw Hat Boy, I should actually thank you.”

Luffy looked solemn. He felt that Crocodile’s momentum had changed dramatically compared to before.

Although Luffy couldn’t see where the change was.

But the crescent moon in the distance was very clear.

At this moment, Crocodile showed the kind of self-confidence that I am invincible.

It’s not that his strength is invincible, but that his mentality has changed.

If that’s the case.

Cang Yue said to himself slowly.

“He’s going to wake up!”

…

Crocodile looked at Luffy in front of him and suddenly felt the mentality of Whitebeard at that time.

He was not afraid of the challenge.

If you want to kill me, I’m waiting for you at any time.

Suddenly, the sand and stones within a radius of 1 kilometer began to tremble violently.

As if welcoming the return of their king.

Crocodile clearly felt that his ability to control the quicksand had greatly improved.

The strength of his moves was completely different from before.

The long-forgotten domineering returned to its peak.

Now he is even stronger than when he challenged Whitebeard.

At this moment, he looked at Luffy with eyes full ofIndifferent, as if the guy in front of him was no longer worthy of being his opponent.

“It’s over, Straw Hat Luffy.”

As Crocodile waved his hand, the sand and gravel under Luffy’s feet gathered and instantly wrapped him up.

As Crocodile’s ability was activated.

A thin line made of quicksand connected Crocodile’s right hand with the quicksand that wrapped Luffy.

The terrifying power of the Sand-Sand Fruit began to show.

At a long distance, the wind dried and turned into sand.

10 meters away, Luffy became a mummy again.

Crocodile used the quicksand to control Luffy and threw him into the sea in front.

Sand Crocodile looked calm, he did not kill Luffy immediately.

Just like Whitebeard did not kill him at the beginning.

“Straw Hat Boy, if you can still survive, I will still accept your challenge.”

“But for now, the most important thing is to take down Pluto.”

“Self-strength, external combat power, I want them all.”

After saying that, Crocodile looked at Robin with a sinister look like a crocodile.

“Nico Robin, I hope you won’t make any more small moves before completing our agreement.”

“Go across the sea by yourself, I will go to Albana first to complete the plan.”

“Don’t think about running away, you will die.”

Crocodile, who regained his confidence, changed the way he addressed Robin.

At this moment, he no longer concealed anything and was extremely confident.

After saying that, Crocodile’s lower body turned into gauze and flew towards Albana in the distance.

After he left, Cangyue came to the beach.

He stretched out the Time Whip to pick up Luffy, who had been full of water again.

He turned his head and looked at Robin.

“What are you going to do?”

Cangyue wanted to confirm Robin’s thoughts.

After she saw such a powerful Crocodile, did she still want to cooperate with her?

Or did she completely surrender to Crocodile.

Robin’s reaction also satisfied Cangyue.

“He is an ambitious man.

For him, there are no partners.

Only interests.”

“Also, I don’t like him.”

Cangyue nodded, Robin’s words were very true.

She didn’t deliberately lick herself to survive.

She just said what she really thought.

After looking at Robin again, Cangyue spoke.

“You three help me watch Luffy, I’ll go deal with Crocodile.”

After that, Cangyue took off the mask and threw away the cloak.

He got up and flew into the sky.

He chased in the direction where Crocodile left.

…

One hour later, on the other side, the negotiations began.

Cobra no longer played the role of ‘fake Cobra’ at this moment.

Instead, he swaggered out Crocodile’s entire plan.

Hearing this, the rebel leader Kosha opened his eyes wide and was very surprised.

Kosha was also a smart man. After a brief shock, he made a simple deduction.

Sure enough, everything matched.

When he learned that Cobra contacted the navy to rescue the 200,000 rebels captured by Crocodile.

Kosha smiled happily.

Sure enough, this is still the king in his memory, the kind and wise king who loves his people like his own children.

At this moment, a huge change occurred.

“I never expected that you, the demon swan, would fall?”

The four king’s guards suddenly took off their veils. The voice came from a bloated middle-aged woman.

“Miss Christmas, it’s obvious that our plan has been exposed.”

“MR.1 is right. The one standing here is the real King Cobra of Alabasta.”

“But the result will not change. As long as Cobra and Kosha are killed here, everything will remain the same.”

Four cadres of the Baroque Studio rushed towards Kosha.

Almost at the same time, three of Kosha’s 20 guards drew their guns, pointed them at Cobra, and were about to pull the trigger.

At the critical moment.

Nami gave an order.

“Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, do it.”
