Pirate collector, obtains the Conqueror's Haki talent at the beginning

The first time, the last time I saw him was when he was about to leave.

(Thank you for your tips, dear readers!)

Alabasta.

Hearing the question from behind, Crocodile had to pull himself back to reality from his proud fantasy.

Who was so bold as to disturb Mr. Sand's interest?

He turned his head with an unhappy look, wanting to see who was the person who didn't know how to live or die.

Then,

He was scared and dropped his cigar.

An old man with a somewhat ferocious face, his eyes closed, but he seemed to be able to see through everything.

He was looking at Crocodile with expectation, hoping to get the location of Alabasta from him.

A trace of cold sweat slid down Crocodile's forehead, and he felt endless coldness under the scorching sun.

What happened?

Admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Fujitora "Ichisho".

Wasn't he fighting with his boss in the North Sea?

How did he suddenly appear in Alabasta?

Did he discover the headquarters of the organization?

No, no.

Ichisho didn't wear the admiral's cloak, and no intelligence was sent back.

He should have traveled alone, so he didn't make a big announcement.

This explains why no one informed him.

"Mr. Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, why are you here?"

Ichisho's voice was calm, but with an invisible sense of oppression.

"This is King Cobra's Alabasta."

Ichisho was also surprised. As a navy admiral, he knew the nature of the Seven Warlords of the Sea very well.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, as seven pirates officially recognized by the World Government, each of them holds a powerful force that is enough to shake the foundation of the country.

Not only do they have legal status and are exempt from the wanted and hunted faced by ordinary pirates, they are also granted special status and power.

Despite their connection with the World Government, they enjoy a high degree of freedom of action and are not subject to daily government interference.

Pirates outside often regard them as puppets of the government, but the truth is much more complicated than that.

The relationship between the Shichibukai and the World Government is actually a delicate one of mutual exploitation, with both sides relying on each other for their own goals.

The World Government needs the power of the Shichibukai to help deter other pirates, while the Shichibukai need the legal identity granted by the government to achieve their own goals.

However, this status and power is not without cost, and members must respond to the call of the World Government to a certain extent, and sometimes even need to serve the interests of the government.

At the same time, their status may be threatened by the government's strategy or other factors.

Shichibukai members are sometimes used by the World Government as part of political transactions to achieve certain political goals.

Overall, the existence of the Shichibukai is conducive to the World Government's rule over the world.

However, this system is a disaster for the people of non-member countries and countries plundered by the Shichibukai.

The Shichibukai only needs to hand over part of their gains, and the World Government will ignore it or even provide help.

This is a system that should be abolished.

Yixiao, who was already dissatisfied with the Shichibukai system, saw with his own eyes that one of the Shichibukai was showing off in front of him, with a bohemian look on his face.

He was immediately furious, and the overwhelming pressure swept towards Crocodile.

Crocodile felt the strong sense of oppression brought by Yixiao's pressure, but he was not panicked at all.

He had an emergency Den Den Mushi in his arms. As long as he pressed the button of the Den Den Mushi, support would be sent out.

Besides, who was he?

The third person in the organization, the No. 1 after the boss and Lao Ba, once he lost his status as a Shichibukai.

My bounty will definitely surpass that kid Enelu and become a pirate with a bounty of over 2.5 billion.

Fujitora?

Humph, even if I can't take him down directly,

It's still easy to fight him 50-50!

"How dare you disturb my pleasure."

"No matter you are Fujitora or Fujineko, this is my home ground!"

"Kneel down!"

Sand Crocodile smiled coldly.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

He had to transform his hands into four sharp sand blades and attack Yixiao fiercely.

Yixiao's face changed, not because of the sudden attack, but because of what Sand Crocodile said.

Crocodile's home ground?

What does this mean?

Has King Cobra been replaced by Crocodile?

That's right.

Otherwise, why would Crocodile appear here?

A Shichibukai in the first half of the Grand Line Paradise, quietly

The appearance of the black fire line must be a conspiracy.

The worst case scenario is that the entire Alabasta has fallen into Crocodile's control.

This is simply unforgivable!

The anger in Yixiao's heart burned even more fiercely.

He decided not to hold back and go all out.

Pulling out his black fire line, the air around him seemed to solidify.

The purple domineering flowed around him, full of oppression.

The sand blade of the sand crocodile rushed forward, Yixiao swung the black fire line, and the heavy domineering collided with the sand blade, making a harsh metal friction sound.

The two powerful forces clashed in the air, sparking countless sparks.

"Gravity Blade Tiger Collapse!"

Yixiao jumped high, poured the power of the gravity fruit into the black fire line, and slammed it into the sand crocodile.

The huge gravity formed an invisible pressure, as if to crush the sand crocodile completely.

The sand crocodile sneered, and his figure flashed. The elements turned into countless sands, which quickly dispersed and avoided this fatal attack.

"Desert Sword!"

The sand crocodile gathered countless sand grains behind him again, and turned his arm into a giant sand blade. With the sharpness that could cut the ground, he rushed straight to Yixiao.

"Gravity field!"

Yixiao shouted, and the gravity around him instantly increased. The huge sand blade was firmly suppressed in place by the invisible gravity and could not move.

Even the elemental sand crocodile was slowed down.

"Hell trip!"

Yixiao once again increased the gravity of the surrounding ground to an unbearable limit.

This gravity was enough to press people firmly to the ground and make them unable to move.

As the scabbard was gently closed, the ground seemed to be unable to withstand this force, and instantly collapsed into a huge pit, swallowing the sand crocodile mercilessly.

The sand crocodile was firmly pressed under the pit by gravity, and the whole person seemed to be crushed by this force.

The strong sense of oppression made it difficult for him to breathe, as if the air was sucked out.

Under this extreme pressure, his body gradually lost the power to resist, and the whole world became blurred in his vision.

Before falling into the last moments of his life, Sand Crocodile's last thought flashed through his mind:

Boss, why am I always the one who gets hurt?

WHY ALWAYS ME?

But he forgot that

Since joining Longyuan, he has rarely had the opportunity to take action. He is busy with heavy government affairs every day and neglects to exercise. He is no longer the 50-50 God of War...
