Listening to the sound of the surrounding people cheer, Crocodile is happy
He was going to harvest the heads of these people when suddenly...
Um???
He suddenly noticed three figures from the corner of his eye
Those three figures do not belong to this group of pirates, but when he released a small sandstorm just now, these three people were also involved in his sandstorm at that time
For Crocodile, he has already reminded him of the phrase "those who don't want to die lie on the ground", if someone still insists on dying, then Crocodile won't care about them
Of course, Crocodile doesn't care about other people's life or death...
What he cares about is..., these three people can survive his sandstorm intact!!!
Suddenly, he stopped when he was about to cut off the pirate's head, and turned to look at these three people...
He asked with a look of scrutiny: "Who are you people???"
Before this, Crocodile didn't pay attention to these three people at all, so he didn't know how these three people survived the sandstorm
But since these three people can survive the sandstorm, it shows that they have certain strength!!
"Hi! Hello!! My name is Luffy!"
Seeing Crocodile greet them, Luffy responded politely.
Through the scene just now, Luffy can clearly see that the common people in this city are very supportive of the "Mr.Crocodile" in front of him. Obviously, the other party is a very good person!
As for the other party's "Shichibukai" identity, Luffy doesn't really care about it
Before he learned from Buggy that the so-called Shichibukai is equivalent to the pirates who were permitted by the World Government, and now they are working for the World Government.....
Luffy never judges a person based on the "identity" of the other party, he only believes the facts he sees!!
At least from the current point of view, Crocodile is indeed doing good man in this city
Although the sandstorm hit them just now, this level of damage is not even drizzle to Luffy
When the sandstorm came just now, Luffy immediately stood in front of Nami and Chopper, blocking them both
And Nami actually use her at that moment, she put her hands on Luffy and Chopper at the same time, and displayed the ability to smooth smooth fruit
In this way, when the sand touched the three of them, it slid away in an instant, and the actual damage caused was only zero
"Luffy???" Crocodile quickly searched for the name in his memory
After a while, he was sure that he had never heard of this name!!!
"Are you a Devil Fruit user???"
Recalling that Luffy and the other survived his sandstorm just now, Crocodile asked curiously.
"Yeah, you are also a Devil Fruit Use! Logia, a Sand-Sand Fruit user, right?"
Luffy now has a clear memory of the Devil Fruit illustrated book, and naturally he can recognize this rare Logia Devil Fruit at a glance.
"Ah!! He...they...they are pirates!!!" At this time, someone suddenly exclaimed!!!
The people around immediately looked at him
they saw this man raised the newspaper in his hand, and shouted in shock: "This is the latest newspaper I just bought today, and the bounty on it was also issued a few days ago!!! Look, these three people, Two of them are them!!"
Everyone takes a look...
they saw the bounty on the front page headline!!!
Monkey D. Luffy: Offer a reward of 50 million Berry!
Roronoa Zoro: Offer a reward of 50 million Berry!
Nami: Offer a reward of 50 million Berry!
The charges of the three people are the same. They all killed the king and the king's army of the affiliated countries of the world. They are all defined as vicious big pirates!!!
The surrounding civilians saw this scene
Oh!!!
Aren't these two people the two of the three who offered the bounty?
After doing such a vicious thing, tthey still dare to take their pets to go shopping, it's really lawless!!!
Luffy's arm stretched out, and with a swipe, he took the newspaper from that person's hand
Although the portraits of the three of them were drawn, he has to say that they are very similar!!!
Looks like the artist skills in Marine are amazing
As for their names, they were directly registered in the Marine Base when they exchanged for the bounty...
"It turned out to be two ferocious pirates..."
"Showing up on the street in broad daylight!! Don't you know that this place is defended by Mr. Crocodile???"
"Appear in front of Lord Crocodile, they will die!!!"
"Master Crocodile will clean them up!!!"
Although facing these two vicious big pirates, because Crocodile is here, the civilians in Nanohana are not afraid at all
In their eyes, Crocodile is God!!!
Smoker: "Such a stupid commoner! Thinking of Crocodile as a hero!! How stupid and hopeless civilian!!"
Hina: "You can't blame the civilians..., the main thing is that Crocodile's superficial work is really good, and everyone was deceived!!"
Shiki: "Don't blame the civilians, it should be you! Over there, you put a bounty on the straw hat Luffy and the three of them to become pirates, so the three of them are now villains in the eyes of the common people"
Gekko Moria: "Hehehe, the identities of the decent and the villain in the white border video before are completely reversed now!! It's so fun!!"
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Interesting? The Crocodile over there is about to cry!! Fufurfur...!!!"
Boa·Hancock: "Mr. Luffy over there is going to beat him to tears!"
When Crocodile learned of the "identities" of Luffy and the other, his eyes on Luffy suddenly turned into fierce
After a long time, it turned out that it was just two pirates who wanted to get close to him
Thinking of this, the sand on Crocodile's body started to move!!!
"etc!!"
With Observation Haki Luffy immediately sensed that Crocodile was going to make a move, Luffy quickly stretched out his hand and stopped him, "Listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!!! In fact, we are not pirates, and we have never done bad things"
Luffy's first impression of Crocodile is still very good. He thinks this guy is a "pirate hero" who is willing to stand up for the common people!!
Just like now, when the other party learned that he and Nami were also pirates, he immediately lost his enthusiasm and was going to arrest him and Nami
Luffy thinks Crocodile did nothing wrong!!
Of course, the fact that the other party did the right thing doesn't mean that Luffy will be caught without a fight!!!
He tried to make the other party understand the truth in a reasonable way, so as not to embarrass the other party if he really did something later
After all, the other party is a great hero in the hearts of the people here. It would be bad if he let him lose face in front of everyone...
However..., in the face of Luffy's explanation, Crocodile sneered: "Hehe!! If explanation is useful, what do we, the Shichibukai, need?"
"If you have anything to say, go down and explain it to Shinigami!!"
Suddenly, Crocodile's entire arm turned into sand!!!
"Desert Sword!!——
He slashed out his hand, and the sand was instantly slashed out like a wave of air!!
Go straight to Luffy and Nami!!
Wherever it passed, the ground was cut into two pieces!!
Luffy lifts up the Chopper, turns to the side, avoids the blow casually
Nami also backed away for a while, and at the same time activated the Smooth Smooth Fruit ability, and the only bit of sand left was just wiped away from her body, leaving no dust...
???
Crocodile was taken aback when he saw that his blow did not cause any effective damage!!!
"Wait!! Listen to me, this is really a misunderstanding!!! The Wapol we killed and his king's army are actually the real pirates, but Marine didn't figure out the situation, so they mistook us for pirates."
Luffy explained again without haste.
When the surrounding civilians heard this, they started to sneer
"Obviously he is a vicious big pirate! But he is still arguing!! Do you think we are all fools? Do you think Mr. Crocodile is a fool!!!"
"Facing our great Mr. Crocodile, are you so scared that you dare not even admit what you have done!!"
"Cowards!! Admit it if you dare to do it!!"
"With the patron saint of Alabasta, Mr. Crocodile, even if you talk about breaking the sky today, don't even think about getting forgiveness!!!"
…
Crocodile was also lifted to a high place amid the cheers of blind worship from the surrounding people
In his plan, after completing the "Utopia Operation Plan", he will become the king of Alabasta!!!
So in front of the people of Alabasta, he must make a positive image!!!
Since everyone eagerly wants to see him get rid of the two pirates and the pet in front of him, then he doesn't bother to care whether the other party word is true or not
Crocodile's arm keeps pouring out sand, and he punches out!!
The moment the sand was swung out, it immediately turned into a crescent-shaped sand scimitar, covering the positions of Luffy and the other!!!
Luffy held Chopper in one hand, and hugged Nami's waist with the other hand, his feet burst out of elasticity, and he did a backflip immediately, jumping out of the attack range of the fox-moon-shaped dune1
Although Nami's Smooth Smooth Fruit ability has a very strong defensive ability, but Luffy doesn't know whether Nami can completely defend against this kind of attack, so he simply jumped away with Nami...
In short
In the face of Crocodile just
During the two attacks, Luffy has been able to determine one thing!!
That is..., as long as Chopper and Nami are in his hands, they must be 100% safe!!
Nami was very happy when she saw that she was hugged by Luffy
Chopper is so scared that his snot comes out...
"Hey!! Although my first impression of you is good, it doesn't mean that I will give you chance to attack again and again!! If you still attack indiscriminately, don't blame me for fighting back"
Luffy frowned slightly
Facing Luffy dodging his attack twice, Crocodile frowned too!!!
This kid is hard to deal with...
However, seeing that he has been protecting the women and pets, it is obvious that women and pets are his weaknesses
Thinking of this, Crocodile sneered: "If i compromise with pirates!!! That would be a disgrace to justice!!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahaha!!! This kid, he has lied so much that he even believes himself, right?"
Gekko Moria: "Hey hee hee hee!!! The shame of justice..., I don't know how he has the nerve to say it"
Donquixote Doflamingo: "You don't understand now!! Those who achieve great things, can they do it without a thick skin??? Fufurfur....!!!!"
Shiki: "Jie hahahaha!!! Well said....!!!"
Crocodile activated his ability again, this time, his whole body turned into sand, and he rushed towards Luffy and the others!!!
In the process of approaching Luffy, Crocodile suddenly spread his arms!!!
With his arms spread out, there is yellow sand flying all over the sky!!!
This yellow sand is extremely thick, but it is full of sharpness!!!
Like a four-winged butterfly, the yellow sand condenses into four incomparably huge sand blades
As Crocodile made another move, Luffy's face turned completely cold!!!
"HAH!!"
Seeing Crocodile's terrifying attack, Chopper was so frightened that he hugged Luffy's right leg
Nami's eyes lit up when she saw this!!!
She also imitated Chopper, showed a scared expression, hugged Luffy too
Luffy is speechless
Even Crocodile on the opposite side couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this scene
"Desert Spada!!"
Crocodile snorted coldly, and the four sand blades suddenly rush onto Luffy's body...!!!
boom!!--
The sand blades cut together and turned into extremely heavy sand and fell!!!
Sand dust falls, Crocodile is slightly taken aback!!
Huh? Where are the people?
Originally, the three people who he thought were destined to be dealt with by his blow suddenly disappeared at this moment!!
But at this moment, Luffy's voice came from above: "Hey! Are you looking for us?"
Nani???
Crocodile was startled, when did this guy get out of his attack???
Suddenly, he raised his head and saw that Luffy had fallen from the sky at this time, and stepped on him with his right foot!!!
"Hehe"
Although his attack was avoided by Luffy, Crocodile didn't panic at all!!!
Facing Luffy's attack, he even wanted to laugh...
"Stupid guy!!! Such an attack has no effect on me"
There was a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, Crocodile laughed contemptuously!!
