One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of "all" living things.

But for an "individual", his instinct must obey his "nature" to a certain extent.

What is Evan Lindsay's nature like?

Crocodile thought all the way and finally came up with an answer.

Lindsay has a mixed nature of "transcendence" and "pureness".

Similar to "play".

If Lindsay finds something interesting, he will do it.

Whether it's playing as a big monster on the Red Earth Continent to rescue slaves.

Or, after setting foot on the real "first island", you will never allow yourself to remain unknown.

Everything seems to be for "fun".

Just like now——

…

"Hey, look, it's Crocodile Crocodile, one of the [Shichibukai]!"

"The World Government does not select people randomly, and there are still seven seats available."

"Tsk, a lackey of the World Government..."

"Keep your voice down!"

"..."

"By the way, do you know who the guy next to him is? The guy who destroyed a ship with one punch."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it.

Either fear, curiosity, disgust, or eagerness to try...

When Crocodile saw this, he only felt troublesome. He didn't want to be so high-profile!

"Tsk!"

After smacking his lips, Crocodile grabbed Lindsay's collar, turned into a sandstorm, and quickly left the sight of everyone at the dock.

When parting, Lindsay was still laughing and waving to everyone.

"See you later!"

"Don't go back, never see you again!"

Crocodile only felt his head was big.

He just wanted to end the business on the Shampoo Islands as soon as possible, and then take Lindsay to Alabasta to confirm whether the other party could crack the secret of the historical text.

If not, then part ways and let the whole sea worry about this primitive man!

To be honest, Crocodile is still very curious about how much a primitive man from an era a hundred years ago would mess up the sea.

While thinking.

Lindsay suddenly grabbed Crocodile's shoulder.

The word "catch" is accurate.

After all, Crocodile is in a semi-elementary state at the moment. Ordinary people cannot touch him at all. They can only touch his entity with "Armed Color Haki".

But now, Alvin Lindsay directly "grabbed" the gravel on Crocodile's shoulder with his hands!

"Devil fruit powers?"

Crocodile's pupils narrowed.

He still remembered Lindsay's words, which was that "the essence of the power of the Diqui form is the destruction and destruction of the land."

Crocodile's body is "gravel", which can also be regarded as a type of "land".

In other words, even if the Devil Fruit ability is not used, Lindsay can easily touch Crocodile's body in that "Dokui form"!

It's really troublesome...

Crocodile had no choice but to stop the elementalization and turn into a physical entity again.

"What's wrong?"

Lindsay didn't answer, but took out a stack of berries that Crocodile had given him before, then took out a few and swayed them aside.

Crocodile: "?"

Looking around, he roughly knew what Lindsay wanted to do.

This is one of the commercial areas of the Shampoo Islands.

The Chambord Islands are quite large and are composed of the root systems of 79 trees. One tree is a small island.

There are many areas on the island, including the residences of the navy and nobles, as well as lawless areas belonging to pirates.

But more importantly, it is a popular tourist area, as well as docks and shipyards that are essential for sailing.

At this moment, the island where Crocodile and Lindsay were located was one of the bustling tourist areas.

"Hey, little brother, the specialty of the Grand Line, the Great Steamed Buns, would you like some?"

"Fresh barbecue is out!"

"..."

Along the way, this was the first time that Lindsay saw so many light-hearted gadgets, and naturally she couldn't move her feet.

He ran to the street, bought two giant marshmallows, and then returned.

He ate one himself and handed the other to Crocodile.

Lindsay smiled and said: "Okay, let's go!"

Crocodile also took it.

"..."

fall!

Who wants you to buy me candy?

The majestic king is under the Shichibukai, and you want me to eat marshmallows on the streets of the Chambord Islands?

Lindsay ignored Crocodile's murderous gaze, looked at the ground with a hint of regret, and murmured:

"Who says masters can't eat sweets?"

"..."

Crocodile felt his scalp numb, grabbed Lindsay, and continued walking forward.

After thinking about it, he seriously asked:

"Listen to me, primitive man. If you want to use my ship to go to Alabasta, you'd better be calm and at least don't mess up the deal with me."

Lindsay was slightly curious: "What deal?"

"I'm going to get some money from the underworld and let it flow legally into Alabasta."

Crocodile explained.

He is not the kind of patient person, but judging from his previous performance, if this kind of thing is not made clear in advance, Alvin Lindsay will definitely cause even greater trouble!

"I'm going to set up an organization in Alabasta, tentatively named 'Baroque Studio'."

This is part of Crocodile's "conspiracy to steal the country."

But Alvin Lindsay is a primitive man, and he probably can’t understand it, so it doesn’t matter.

"do you know?"

"On this sea, the so-called 'military power' is the most credible."

"As strong as the navy and the 'Four Emperors' I told you before, domination does not rely on 'individual power', but military strength!"

"..."

Crocodile looked at Lindsay.

Lindsay is eating marshmallows.

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "You didn't understand, did you?"

Lindsay shook her head and said calmly: "I didn't listen."

He knew all the plot, even more than Crocodile, so naturally he didn't bother to listen.

Bringing up old things again, how can real marshmallows be interesting?

But in Crocodile's view, it was actually the primitive man's IQ that was not enough.

Come on!

Crocodile had a hunch that if he brought Lindsay to the transaction site and saw those underground people, and were provoked by others, there would probably be another fight.

what can we do about it?

Crocodile was thinking as he pulled Lindsay to the edge of the lawless zone.

While he was worrying, several nice voices attracted his and Lindsay's attention.

"Hey, hey guys, do you want to come to the store to play?"

When I turned around, I saw several enthusiastic dancers greeting customers at the door of the bar.

Located on the edge of a deserted area, the dancers here are naturally more enthusiastic and proactive than those in the tourist area.

Seeing this, Crocodile already had an idea in his mind.

He took out another stack of berries from his arms, gave it to Lindsay, and whispered: "The transaction is meaningless. You should go have a drink. I will come find you later."

"……also."

After looking at the smoky illegal area and looking at the dazzling dancers, Lindsay still felt that the latter was more interesting.

Life always likes better things.

If we have to talk about the so-called "restraint" or "equality", it is just a kind of "oppression" of beautiful things.

To maintain such a perfect figure, the dancers' daily exercise and hard work are also essential, and they are naturally worthy of that beauty.

So Lindsay smiled and greeted the dancers.

"Just let me taste the wine of the Grand Line!"

"..."

Seeing that Lindsay was finally gone, Crocodile couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and walked away.

…

And on Lindsay's side.

He arrived at the door of the bar surrounded by dancers.

Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by another person.

The person who came was a thin, middle-aged man with a mustache, wearing a suit, and was accompanied by two tall and thick-set guards.

The mustache pressed down on the top hat and grinned: "You have a good figure, little brother!"

"..."

Lindsay was silent.

He pointed at the mustache and asked the dancer beside him, "Is this a specialty of your bar?"

The dancers looked panicked and shook their heads.

"Oh, I get it."

Lindsay got it.

Mustache also explained: "See if you are exercising and are you interested in making a lot of money!"

Hearing this, Lindsay also grinned, looked at the malicious mustache, and said with a smile:

"You guys are fun for me too."
