I, the Fruit Snatcher

The King's Army and the rebel army, who had been immersed in the bloody battle, gradually woke up at this moment.

The people of the two camps looked up in horror at the sandstorm that was overwhelming the city, and cried out in shock:

"Oh my god! I have never seen such a big sandstorm!"

"Oh no, how could there be so many tornadoes? Can we still escape?"

"Such a big sandstorm is enough to bury the entire royal city! what should we do!"

"The king is indeed a sinner! You see, even the God of the Desert wants to punish him!"

""Hurry up and find a solid shelter. After the sandstorm passes, only the solid areas can be preserved!"

The wounded people were horrified at this time.

They didn't know when they were already in the sandstorm hell.

The violent sandstorm that covered the sky and the earth had completely surrounded the royal city of Arubana.

No living creature could get out alive.

At present, the only way to survive the next violent sandstorm is to find a solid shelter.

The atmosphere began to get weird. It is very likely that a survival battle for shelters will break out in this city.

"Look above the palace, there are people fighting there……"

But suddenly, for some reason, everyone had the same idea at the same time.

This was the collective hint that Qin Lang had planted when he used the power of the [Whispering Fruit].

After people stopped the frenzy of fighting, they could not help but notice the two people fighting fiercely above the palace.

Those with better eyesight shouted in surprise:

"Look! There are two people fighting in the palace, and one of them is our country's hero! Crocodile!"

"It is indeed Lord Crocodile!"

The rebels raised their weapons high and cheered:

"Come on Lord Crocodile! Hurry up and defeat that weird guy with extendable arms!"

In the air, the figure of a huge falcon swayed across the sky.

An angry voice sounded.

"madness! You are still kept in the dark until now!"

Someone recognized Peru and said in surprise:

"It's Peru! It's the strongest warrior of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Peru the Falcon!"

The rebels were surprised to find that the man sitting on Peru's body was covered with bandages.

It was the leader of the rebels, Kosha.

"It's Mr. Kosha! Mr. Kosha is still alive! That's great!"

"Could Mr. Kosha be held hostage by Peru?"

The noise resounded throughout the square.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels once again clenched their weapons and showed ferocious looks at the surrounding king's army.

The king's army gritted their teeth and supported each other, wary of the surrounding rebels. them

"We have made an irreparable mistake!"

Kosa, who was sitting on Peru, who was also covered in wounds, panted and shouted loudly:

"Put down your weapons! Rebels! We were fooled!"

I don't know why, Koshana's not-so-loud voice actually reached everyone's ears.

"The culprit who caused the three-year drought in the Kingdom of Alabasta and took away the rain was not the king, but Crocodile!"

"How is this possible?

The rebels stared with their eyes wide open, and all stood there in a daze.

"Is Crocodile the culprit? What on earth is Mr. Kosha talking about?"

"I don't believe it! At Rapeseed Harbor, we clearly saw that it was King Cobra who ordered the King's Army to shoot at us, and even the child was injured by him."

Questioning voices were heard among the rebels.

"Could it be that Mr. Kosa was bribed by the king?"

For a moment, voices of suspicion that Kosa was bribed by the king came one after another.

Kosa shouted with difficulty:

"That's because Crocodile's subordinates have a magician who can imitate the king's appearance.

He disguised himself as the king and performed a deceptive magic trick on us! The king has never been to the rapeseed flower garden!"

The king has never been to the rapeseed flower garden!

Wow!

The rebels in front of the entire palace square were all in an uproar of disbelief!

"It was Crocodile who used his special powers to cover our oases and cities with sand! Taken away the home we depend on for survival!

The sandstorm in front of you was also caused by him!

He did this just to kill us and bury us in Aruba!

Take complete control of the Kingdom of Alabasta!"

Kosa's words made many rebels realize that

"Oh my god! It's like this!"

"It turns out that those sandstorms that are not consistent with common sense and cause yellow sand to rush into the city are all artificially created and controlled!"

"No wonder I always feel that sandstorms of the same scale appear every once in a while."

Weiwei's voice suddenly rang out from the square.

It turned out that the loudspeaker that was previously destroyed by the Baroque Works had been repaired by the King's Army.

"Please stop fighting! I am Princess Weiwei, and I beg you all to give up the weapons in your hands and don't let our casualties increase any more!"

Under the protection of Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and Nami,

Vivi came to the square bravely.

Peru supported Kosha and fell next to Vivi.

Vivi stared at the square The dead bodies lying on the ground and the injured people were all over her body.

Her tears couldn't stop flowing down, and her voice trembled:

"King's troops, in order to express our sincerity, please take the lead in laying down your weapons. please!"

Dang!

Dang!

Dang!

The king's soldiers decisively discarded their weapons.

They loyally trusted their princess.

"this……"

Facing the unarmed king's army, the rebels hesitated, not knowing whether to drop their weapons.

Kosa's weak voice echoed throughout the square:

"Throw down your weapons! Don't let the mistakes continue!"

Dang!

The first one to drop his weapon was a young resistance fighter covered in blood and with a tired expression.

All his family members died of drought.

He hated the king who took away the water source that his family relied on, so he joined But it was only now that he realized that he hated the wrong person and became a tool to realize other people's conspiracy. After the first person to discard the weapon appeared, more The rebels abandoned their weapons. The weapons on the ground, which were covered in bloodstains and scratches and had claimed the lives of countless compatriots in this conspiracy civil war, had completely lost their value.

"Thank you for your trust. Please look at the battle at the palace."

Vivi pointed at Luffy who was still fighting with Crocodile on the top of the palace and said excitedly:

"The one fighting Crocodile there is Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.

It was he and his crew who helped me escape from Crocodile.

And now, our hope of surviving this sandstorm also falls on him!

Once he loses, most of us will be buried in this sandstorm"

"……"

The square was completely silent.

""Come on, Straw Hat Boy!"

Suddenly, a hoarse shout rang out.

Then, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of voices rang out like a tidal wave:

"Come on, Luffy!"

"Come on! Kill Crocodile, the culprit, quickly!"

"Come on Straw Hat Luffy!"

……

"Hoo, ho, ho……"

In the palace, Luffy, who was fighting Crocodile to the death, heard a voice calling his name in the distance.

Luffy, who was covered in scars, had no time or energy to pay attention to these.

Luffy held his hands that had turned blood into pulp, gasping for air, watching Crocodile's every move in the distance.

Crocodile grinned and said:

"My scorpion venom has seeped into your body, and you are going to die! Straw Hat Boy!"

……

Luffy.

When you think it's the final blow, use this move.

Otherwise, Crocodile will be prepared in advance.

……

"Final blow!"

Luffy, who realized that his body had reached its limit and could no longer consume it, took a deep breath.

He was sure that the moment of the final blow that Qin Lang said was coming.

"Crocodile, I will definitely beat you away!"

……

Qin Lang once told Sauron and Sanji that Luffy had a very good advantage.

This advantage is what Zoro and Sanji lack.

That's concentration.

Once Luffy fights a powerful enemy, he will fully immerse himself in the battle.

You will not be distracted by external factors, nor will you be overly nervous or excited.

Therefore, after Luffy fights a powerful enemy, he will become stronger than before.

Sanji is easily attracted by external factors such as women, which distracts most of his attention.

Therefore, Sanji is not a person suitable for growing up in battle.

His growth was all developed through easy exploration when he had nothing to do.

Zoro is the other extreme.

He will be overly immersed in the battle and has exceeded the level of concentration.

But, it's more than enough.

Sauron's bellicosity can easily lead to his excessive mental state.

In turn, the opportunity to learn and grow in battle and summarize the shortcomings of combat is lost.

When Zoro realized stronger sword skills and increased his strength by leaps and bounds.

Most of them were when he was seriously injured and his mental condition was not as good as it was at the beginning.

Zoro, who was injured, had to save his energy and curb unnecessary fighting spirit.

Just at this time.

Sauron began to focus on fighting and understanding combat skills instead of being fanatical about fighting.
