After turning into lightning and landing on the ground, facing Crocodile's humble expression, Gawain nodded slightly to Crocodile.

Seeing this, Crocodile immediately whispered to Gawain.

"Saint Gao Wen is in peace, I am the Qiwuhai, and the sand crocodile will defeat..."

"

"No need to say more."

Gawain waved his hand, interrupting Crocodile's movements, and then he said softly.

"Come with me!"

After the words fell, Gawain didn't give Crocodile any time to react. He directly transformed into a wisp of thunder and lightning and teleported to a location 800 meters away!

In place, Crocodile was really confused by Gawain's behavior.

This... you haven't finished the routine greetings and etiquette yet?

Although he was confused, Crocodile quickly followed Gawain's movements. He turned into a ball of wind and sand and floated past the crowd.

However, before he could reach Gawain's position, Gawain continued to transform into lightning and teleport all the way to the desert outside the city!

In this way, Crocodile floated for more than 20 minutes, and finally saw Gawain sitting lazily on the ground on top of the tallest and largest sand dune, more than 110 kilometers away from Kotelna.

Now Gawain can sit no matter how he wants without soiling his clothes. Even if it's sandy ground, he doesn't have to worry about getting troublesome gravel in his clothes.

So he sat very relaxed.

Noticing Crocodile coming behind him, Gawain patted the sand beside him without looking back.

"Gene Era"

"Sit next to me, I have something to talk to you about."

"As commanded..."

Hearing this, even though Crocodile was puzzled, he still obeyed Gawain's order and sat near Gawain.

After Crocodile sat firmly, Gawain said directly to Crocodile.

“If you really take a boat and walk on the sea, you will find that time passes much faster than you think.

The time on the road is already quite long, and time should be set aside to carry out various tasks.

So, hey, I really don't want to do any more time-wasting stuff.

I don’t have much time.”

Having said this, Gawain turned his head and looked at the clueless Crocodile.

At this time, although Crocodile's face was as calm as ever, his heart was about to burst.

He really didn't understand what Gawain was trying to say to him in this way!

In his opinion, Gawain specifically sought him out, either to investigate his connection with Ace or to draw him into Gawain's team.

In fact, the possibility of pursuing the contact is very slim, because if Gawain wants to mess with him, then even he can only rely on getting into the desert to find a little chance to escape.

After seeing the legendary strength of the older generation like Whitebeard,

Crocodile feels stressed just looking at Rayleigh...

As for inviting him to join...

Gawain had already accepted three Shichibukai, and after seeing Gawain's newspaper, the remaining four Shichibukai were all mentally prepared for when it would be their turn...

Crocodile is no exception!

But at this moment, looking at Gawain's beginning, Crocodile always felt that what Gawain was going to say was probably completely different from what he thought!

Now Crocodile is just like this in his heart, constantly playing the game of you guessing, me guessing, you guessing, and I guessing you...

The key point of Crocodile's guess is what Gawain meant by not wasting time!

In Crocodile's confused and solemn eyes, Gawain said softly to Crocodile.

"Well, I'll tell you directly.

Ouranos, the king of heaven, is in Marigioa, Poseidon, the king of the sea, is on my ship, and Pluto, the king of Hades, is in the country of Wano.

So, you are going in the wrong direction."

"What?!

!

"

The moment Gawain finished speaking, Crocodile was completely stunned!

!

He guessed countless ways that Gawain could save time. He thought that Gawain would intimidate him, or induce him, or talk about his ideals with him.

But he never expected that Gawain's time saving would actually be saved in this place!

This is not saving time, this is clearly trying to mess with his mentality!

The secret he had hidden for more than ten years was actually revealed... directly!

And he said it in a way that directly announced his location, which was a way of humiliating himself!

!

The most important thing is, hell, it doesn't matter if the world government owns a piece of King Uranus, after all, it is the most powerful force that has ruled the world for 800 years.

But how could Poseidon, the king of the sea, be on Gawain’s ship?!

At the same time, Gawain actually let himself know about such a major matter!

For a moment, Crocodile looked around nervously, feeling that he was suddenly not far from death.

If he were Gawain, he would never tell such a secret to a living person!

On the sidelines, Crocodile looked at Crocodile who was shocked beyond words and at the same time instantly on guard.

Gawain chuckled and continued.

"The drought in Alabasta, in some ways, helped me a lot.

However, the drought should stop there. Dancing powder is good for temporary rainfall, but when used to create drought, the impact is too great.

The current situation in Alabasta means that even if the drought disappears, it will still take at least one season of planting time to completely recover.

I can support them for a quarter, but if it takes longer, my logistics support will also be under great pressure!

What do you think?"

"I, I, I..."

Facing Gawain's eyes and facing Gawain's question, Crocodile became completely panicked for the second time in his life.

The first time was when he was hit to the ground by Whitebeard!

As for now, what he thought he did without knowing it has been exposed in such detail!

Moreover, this person’s identity is one that he is absolutely incapable of touching!

Even the Four Emperors didn't dare to actually kill the Celestial Dragons, so how dare Crocodile?

What a joke, even if he falls into the quagmire, Crocodile will insist on getting up and making a comeback!

At this moment, Crocodile gritted his teeth and endured!

As long as Gawain doesn't want to execute him in the end, he will still endure the humiliation. Even if the plan is exposed, he is still young and still has time to create a new plan!

But if he is determined to kill the Celestial Dragons, then he will really be doomed!

On the sidelines, Crocodile watched as he gritted his teeth, but at the same time he tried his best to control himself, changing from a sitting position to a kneeling position.

Gawain waved his hand gently.

"No need to kneel down, I always feel that no one in this world is doing anything wrong.

After all, everyone has his own perspective and psychological activities. From that person's perspective at that time, what he does will always be what he feels is right for him.

As for the fact that you caused the drought in Alabasta and displaced millions of people in this country...

In the past fourteen years, haven't you been protecting this country as a hero, preventing millions of people from being harassed by pirates and other villains?

My identity and position are very special, so special that I have to look at things from a higher perspective like I do now.

Sometimes, people can accept that a person who has lived a life of evil will lay down his butcher knife. If an evil person dies because of doing good deeds, people will even feel sympathy and pity.

At the same time, it is difficult for people to accept people who have done good deeds throughout their lives but eventually did evil things. Not only can people not remember the good things they have done, but they will also curse them for the evil things they have done.

But my vision cannot be one-sided like other people's. I want to see more, and I have seen more.

Therefore, I recognize your title of hero in the past fourteen years until now, and I also recognize your identity as a hero.

As for the mistake you made, drought is a celestial phenomenon after all, and the drought you created only lasted for about half a year...

Even without you, this drought phenomenon is still possible, so you have not fallen below the bottom line that I must kill.
To be continued...
