Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

war.

What is war?

Crocodile is all too familiar.

At any rate, he spent some time in the underground world and had contact with many warmongers.

In Crocodile's concept, war is a group of old guys sending a group of young people to die for the gold coins in their pockets.

The exchanges between both parties are for the benefit!

But at this moment Crocodile was thinking about Rowan's words.

Although there is not much history about 800 years ago, through Rowan's narration and his performance, Crocodile can probably guess what kind of era it was.

Fight endlessly!

For Rowan, who has experienced countless wars, the meaning of the word war seems to be completely different from that of people today.

War is the end, not the beginning.

What does it mean?

Are you forced to accept war? Isn't that a waste of opportunity!

While Crocodile was thinking seriously, Rowan's figure suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly approached Crocodile, and at the same time his eyes widened.

"hiss……"

Rowan's speed was so fast that Crocodile subconsciously took half a step back, "What are you doing?"

"baby crocodile."

Rowan stared into Crocodile's eyes, and slowly said: "War is terrible!"

Crocodile couldn't help sneering, "Oh, how scary?"

"People will die."

Luo Wen replied earnestly: "Many, many people will die, both related and unrelated, will die."

"Dead people? Is it unusual?"

Crocodile shrugged. He is not a good person. In order to secure the title of "National Hero", he also killed many pirates.

But what Rowan said next made Crocodile shudder suddenly.

"Dead people are not uncommon."

Rowan's voice was calm, but he explained a chilling picture:

"But a desert of bones and ashes is most terrifying when it becomes commonplace."

...

After Luo Wen said this, he didn't lower his voice, so Weiwei not far away heard it clearly.

A desert of ashes.

These words echoed in the little princess's mind, making her pupils constrict, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

Crocodile took a puff of his unlit cigar and raised his chin at Rowan.

"Hey, why don't you go and comfort me? Be careful that Cobra will fight for you!"

Luo Wen nodded upon hearing this.

He came to Weiwei and rubbed the little princess's sky-blue hair.

"We have never been afraid of war, but we should not say that we like war."

"War is the end of everything, so remember to be prepared before the end comes."

Wei Wei listened to Luo Wen's words, thoughtfully, and nodded.

Crocodile is quite disdainful of Rowan's education method.

"Tsk, gaudy."

Luo Wen shrugged and motioned, "Are you coming?"

"Why should I teach?"

Crocodile turned his head and looked out the window, "I have experienced a lot, I have to know if I don't want to know!"

Rowan rubbed Weiwei's head, pointed at Crocodile and said:

"This is the little crocodile. The little crocodile taught you a truth just now. Say quickly: Thank you little crocodile."

"Thank you little... Mr. Crocodile!"

Crocodile: "..."

...

Boom boom boom!

Cobra knocked on the door of the study room, then pushed the door open and entered, and saw Crocodile frowning, the other party was obviously in a bad mood.

He couldn't help being taken aback, "Isn't it time for me to come?"

Rowan's voice came from behind the bookshelf.

"No, you came just in time."

He pushed the huge bookshelf away with one hand, cleared a space in the study, and put the materials on the table aside.

Then, he snapped his fingers lightly.

The gravel immediately gathered on the table, forming a map sand table.

The ability of the Shasha fruit user to create a sand table is indeed first-class. The location, shape, and details of each island are almost exactly the same as those on the world map.

Crocodile can do that.

But then came the point where he couldn't.

Rowan turned his finger, and the position displayed on the sand table also changed.

While the gravel was surging, the entire island of Alabasta was enlarged and then suspended in mid-air, with bits of gravel floating around, imitating the nearby sea conditions.

Crocodile looked at this scene, frowning, and a little bit of surprise deep in his pupils.

As a user of the rustling fruit ability, Crocodile is very clear about the difficulty of manipulating the natural devil fruit.

When he first tried his elemental abilities, he couldn't even keep himself stable in human form!

As for making sand tables, Crocodile can indeed do this, but it is only able to control the sand and gravel to condense together.

Whether it is a sandstorm or a gravel scimitar, they are all open and close moves.

Not only him, but also any natural-type devil fruit ability user known by Crocodile!

There is a saying in the sea: those with devil fruit abilities of nature are "nature" itself.

As soon as they made a move, it was like natural anger, and it was impossible for ordinary people to resist!

Any natural devil fruit user is thinking about how to make his moves more powerful, but Luo Wen is obviously an exception.

He seems to have gone to the other extreme.

In terms of the level of sophistication when using the fruit ability, Rowan may be the most exaggerated one Crocodile has ever seen.

Whether it's the gritty soldiers who are indistinguishable from real people, or the gritty black guns with clearly visible metal textures, they all prove this point.

Is this the pomp of the conceited? Or the useless pride of the strong?

At first, Crocodile thought so, but when he saw the "living" sand table in front of him, he suddenly felt that his previous thinking was wrong.

Rushing fruit ability, overlord-like domineering, armed-like domineering, and even the knowledge-like domineering that has not yet been fully displayed...

Among the abilities currently displayed by Luo Wen, the word "precision" runs through it all!

In order to find Pluto, Crocodile has almost mastered all the terrains of Alabasta, so he can be sure that the sand table created by Rowan in front of him is shockingly accurate.

Even a small corner raised by the coastline has been restored!

Is this useful?

It may be useless, after all, fighting is not a handicraft sculpture competition, no one will care about that small corner.

But what if Rowan uses this "precision" power in battle?

It is not difficult for Crocodile to imagine such a scenario:

Rowan's enemies will definitely feel a sense of despair that can't breathe!

Rowan noticed Crocodile's eyes looking at the sand table, and said with a smile:

"The rustling fruit, is it amazing?"

Crocodile glanced at Rowan, thinking about another thing in his heart:

Can I do this?

Crocodile has always been like this, he will not succumb to anyone, Whitebeard is like this, and Ryan Rowan in front of him is the same.

Rowan shrugged, and said to the surprised crowd in front of him:

"Now, let's discuss the first stop of establishing the Universal Alliance, shall we?"

...

After about an hour.

End of the meeting.

An island was suspended in the center of the sand table. It was not Alabasta, but the destination after their discussions.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I went to sea, it's really nostalgic!"

Luo Wen waved away the precise sand table, and his voice gradually became excited.

"Magnetic Drum Island, the country of medical treatment..."
