Planting the World Tree From Pirates

Losing, Crocodile was not without experience, he was once defeated by Whitebeard.

but.

Just lost in the hands of Makino, but Crocodile was unusually unwilling.

Whitebeard, after all, is a world-class powerhouse famous in the sea since Roger's time!

Even if he lost to Whitebeard, Crocodile always believed that one day he could beat him.

After all, while Whitebeard is old, he is still young!

This is inevitably suspected of bullying the elderly, immoral and cruel.

But this is the price for Whitebeard to bear the world's strongest!

As long as he is still in that position, he still occupies such a large territory in the New World as the Four Emperors.

It is inevitable to be constantly challenged by latecomers and young people!

Losing to Makino means a completely different meaning.

Muye is a junior, younger than him, and losing to Muye also means that he loses to the new era.

The most important thing is that losing to Muye also means that he may never have a chance to regain his position!

"How can you just lose in the hands of a junior?"

After losing to Whitebeard, Crocodile has made up his mind that he will never lose to anyone else!

Crocodile started desperately, and the golden hook in his right hand also removed the outer shell, revealing a small silver hook coated with poison.

Perhaps in order to deter Makino and create psychological pressure on Makino, Crocodile deliberately dropped a few drops on the ground.

With the sound of zizizi, the sand grains on the ground were corroded, showing the severe toxicity.

feint, feint, feint...

After several feints.

Crocodile looked at the opportunity, semi-natural, a flickering, actually went around behind Muye, and the poisonous hook in his hand hooked directly to the back of Muye's head.

"Successful!"

Crocodile with a cigar in his mouth was overjoyed,

But the next second, he suddenly felt his body sinking suddenly.

Every grain of sand on his body is as heavy as a mountain.

Without any accident, Crocodile's body fell directly on the sand ground, and even smashed a hole in the ground.

Crocodile was horrified, he had already become naturalized, but because of the overwhelming gravity, his body could not escape.

how can that be?

Crocodile had difficulty accepting his eyes, completely unacceptable.

When he recovered a little, Crocodile found Makino standing beside him with a sword in one hand.

And the endless gravity is endless. For a while, Crocodile only felt like a giant mountain was pressing down on his body.

No matter how hard he struggles, it doesn't help!

"What kind of fruit power are you?"

Crocodile couldn't accept the fact in front of him, and felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, feeling that his defeat was too unfair!

The rustling fruit has developed to his level, and for the situation of the devil fruit, Crocodile is clear.

Natural type, animal type, superhuman type, a person can only eat one, and one has only one ability.

After eating the devil fruit, it will be rejected by the sea and become a landlubber, afraid of sea water and sea floor stones.

This is the iron law!

Isn't Makino the one with the Barrier Fruit ability? Where does this ability to manipulate gravity come from?

If Crocodile is a transmigrator, what he most wants to say at this time is probably - you are so crazy!

Hearing Crocodile's words, Makino smiled and instantly understood what Crocodile meant.

Makino: "I am the one who can plant trees and fruits!"

Plant fruit?

Crocodile kept thinking, but racking his brains, he could not remember any record of the so-called "fruit of the tree."

Devil fruit, as the secret treasure of the sea, has been around for a long time!

In fact, there has never been a lot of research on Devil Fruits, and the "Devil Fruits Big Picture Book" has been published.

Sanji has always dreamed of eating transparent fruits since he was a child because he had read the big picture book!

Could it be that Makino's previous barrier was also formed by changing the density of the air?

Crocodile thought.

If it is to change the density of air, it can indeed become gravity, and if it is compressed, it seems that it can also become an air shield.

But what does this have to do with the word "planting a tree"?

However, being a prisoner at this time, he couldn't help thinking too much.

Makino: "Crocodahl, you lost!"

Crocodile looked ugly, "Yes, I lost. According to your rules, I agree to sign the "Pirate Code" and promise to quit the kingdom of Alabasta!"

As the saying goes, it is often your enemy who knows you best.

The same as Shichibukai, Crocodile can be said to be the most wise and strategic person among all people.

His research on Makino can be described as profound!

Crocodile knew that after Makino defeated the pirates, he would generally not kill the pirates immediately, but would ask the pirates to sign the "Pirate Code".

Using what Makino said in an interview, it's called "abuse without teaching"!

but.

Once the "Pirate Code" is signed, if the core principles of the code are violated again, Makino will come to him and kill him.

This has become a well-known norm!

Although Makino is called "the enemy of pirates", so far, the principle issue has not been violated.

For this, Crocodile, as an enemy, somewhat admired.

However, even if he is lucky enough to survive, Crocodile is still ashamed!

This time he failed, and his years of planning went straight to the ground, and his hope of challenging Whitebeard became a dream come true.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

Crocodile did not expect that Makino's strength would be so strong.

You know, this is... a desert, even so, he still failed miserably!

Seeing Crocodile's gray face, Makino smiled and took out the parchment.

Crocodile said nothing, and immediately pressed the bloody handprint on the parchment.

contract into.

For a moment, the blood light rose into the sky, and everyone felt that the net of the sky was tight for a few points.

Crocodile's eyelids twitched wildly.

The moment the contract was completed, he fully understood the original text of the "Code of the Pirates Revised Edition" carried by the parchment scroll, as well as the series of functions possessed by the parchment scroll.

The most obvious and most famous one is the so-called "red name" ability!

This, Crocodile already knew in the newspapers.

This is also Makino's... ability?

After thinking about it for a while, Crocodile once again had doubts about Makino's so-called "fruit of planting trees".

It's so unreasonable!

The abilities of Devil Fruits are all kinds of strange, but basically there are traces to follow.

For example, the shasha fruit he eats, all the abilities are related to the properties of the sand.

Even sandification, erosion, and water absorption are all properties of sand.

Even Makino's barrier and gravity are caused by changes in air density, but this is not comparable to the ability of the "Pirate Code" sheepskin scroll.

Could it be... Makino ate two Devil Fruits?

At the moment of thinking of this answer, Crocodile felt unlikely again.

If the law can be broken, it is not called a law.

He has been across the sea for so long, and he has never heard of anyone who has eaten two Devil Fruits.

Some people speculate that there is a devil living in the devil fruit, and it is recognized by the devil.

For this, Crocodile agrees more, because Devil Fruit also has a higher level called "awakening".

Crocodile: "Now, can I go?"

After signing the code, many years of hard planning came to nothing, and Crocodile felt disillusioned and never wanted to stay in this sad place again.

Makino: "Not yet."

Crocodile's eyes narrowed abruptly, and a dangerous breath suddenly rushed toward his face.

"You want to break the promise?"

"how come?"

Makino extended an olive branch to Crocodile, "How about joining us, Crocodile, to join us in this grand event?"

Crocodile was stunned.

"I am the King's Seven Martial Seas!"

Makino smiled and said, "Does the king go down to the Qiwuhai, has something to do with the promotion of the "Pirate Code" in the whole sea? The world government has not stipulated that you must stay there!"

Crocodile thought for a while, and said, "No need. I'm not used to being subservient to others. Besides, I still have important things to do."

Muye: "The main thing you said is to find the ancient weapon Pluto, and then defeat Whitebeard?"

Crocodile's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, murderous, and even naturalized for the first time.

It's no surprise that Crocodile wasn't even aware of it, except for him and Nicole Robin.

How did Makino know?

Not only that, looking for ancient weapons is quite taboo.

Maybe, the world government may send a general to strangle him!

Although he also prides himself on being strong, he can't hold back even a few generals who make a move!

Crocodile said dangerously, "You threaten me?"

Makino: "I know the blueprint of the ancient weapon Hades... do you want it?"

Crocodile's eyes widened, and he suspected for a moment that he had auditory hallucinations.

What are you kidding?
