Duke didn't want to meet with the crocodile, but the crocodile came up desperately. He appeared alone in front of Duke and Robin in the edge of the port town.

"I'm so lucky. I just missed the two of you just a little bit. If you get on the boat, I'll have no choice." Clockdal was covered in dust and blocked Duke's way forward.

"Klokdal of the King of the Seven Warriors Sea is really an amazing figure! I wonder what you need to stop us?" Duke frowned slightly. Looking at the other party, he didn't seem to be looking for a place.

"Duke, the 'naval traitor' who offers a bounty of 800 million Bailey, you are the real big shot!" Clockdal sneered: "Take off your mask! In a small town in the border, no one is worthy of your identity."

"Oh, I've been seen through!" Duke held the mask under his hands and said calmly: "Why, is the great hero of Alabastan here to arrest me?"

"Hero? Guhahaha, that's just a clumsy trick to fool people. Don't worry, I don't mean to be an enemy of you." Clockdal shook his head and denied it, looking at the beautiful figure beside Duke: "This lady with a mask must be Nicole Robin, the 'Son of the Devil'! Two distinguished guests came from afar, and they should say hello to me, so that I can do my best to be a landlord."

"It's not a great honor to be recognized by the King's Seven War Sea at a glance." Robin took off his mask openly, and the captain was by his side, so she had nothing to worry about.

"It's you!" Clockdal narrowed his eyes slightly, and his greed could not be concealed in his gloomy eyes: "Nicole Robin, you have really found a good backer!"

Robin smiled indifferently and leaned half a step towards Duke: "I feel so too."

"Mr. Crocodile, you came to visit me all the way. Could it be that you are here to chat about family matters, right?" Before Clockdal finished her three words, she began to hook up with her beautiful crew member. Duke immediately became unhappy. In the original work, these two were partners. Robin served as female secretary for Clockdal for four years. If they had no impurities, they were purely mutually exploiting each other's superiors and subordinates... Who would believe it!

"Of course it's not that simple. Everyone understands people, so I just said it. The two secrets came to Alabastan and made a brief appearance in the capital. One of them could interpret historical texts. I know why you came... You have succeeded in the ancient weapon "Pluto", right?" Carlokdal did not hide his covetousness for Pluto: "Can you share it with me?"

"There is no 'Plain'. Didn't you see that we were empty?" Duke spread his hands and signaled that he had nothing but two swords on his body.

"How can such a huge weapon be carried with you? It must be hidden in a corner of this country." Clockdal smiled coldly: "I have made a frank announcement, but you pretended to be a big pirate with a bounty of 800 million, and he is not as powerful as the pirate who has a bounty of 800 million."

"Whatever you say! You have found the wrong person, I really don't know where 'Plain' is!" Duke said sincerely.

"Guhahaha... It's right, I won't tell anyone if it were." Clockdal smiled nervously: "If I guessed right, you found 'Pluto', but because it was seriously damaged and unable to start, so I planned to go out to sea to recruit a group of craftsmen. Am I right?"

Duke and Robin looked at Clockdal in surprise. This guy had such a big idea, his analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and he was clearly organized and didn't know how to refute it.

"Let's cooperate!"

The crocodile raised his hands, and the golden hook struck a terrifying spot under the scorching sun: "I have secretly controlled this country. I am the underground emperor of this country. No one can do anything against me! Whether it is materials, money, scientists, or labor, I can provide as much as you want. After practicing Pluto, we will conquer the world, rights, status, and money together... you can take all of these, I don't want any of them."

"It sounds very good, but we have taken all the benefits away. What are you looking for?" Duke sneered. The crocodile was so wise that he dared to praise such words as cheating children.

"One Piece!"

Clockdal said in a stern voice: "I just want to be One Piece, I don't need anything else."

Duke was stunned. He didn't expect the crocodile to have such awareness. He couldn't help but look up at him a few times: "I really didn't expect that you value One Piece's name so much!"

"How about it, think about it! I have controlled all the transportation in this country. Without me, nodding, a craftsman cannot get in. Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to benefit each other. After all, there is no conflict of interests between us." Clockdal said proudly.

"Sorry! The same thing, I don't know where Pluto is!"

Klokdal closed his smile upon hearing this and said furiously: "Don't take yourself too seriously. Do you think I'm afraid of your 800 million bounty? If you think so, you're very wrong. As long as I master this country and become the new king, I can find out where Pluto is sooner or later. I just don't want to waste time, otherwise you will not be qualified to cooperate with me at all."

Duke was immediately happy when he heard this: "Just because you want to control this country too? Hahahaha... Mr. Crocodile, you are so naive! Do you know what the Alabastan royal family represents?"

Clockdal's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Is there anything wrong with the Nafirutali family?"

"It seems you know nothing!" Duke shook his head and said with a pity: "If I were you, I would never have any idea of ​​the royal family."

Crockard asked sinisterly, "Tell me why?"

"The Nafirutali family is one of the 20 royal families that created the world government 800 years ago, but their family refused to move to the holy land and chose to stay in their hometown for generations to protect the Pluto..." Duke slowly spoke the shocking news: "The Nafirutali family is the descendant of the Creator!"

Thunderbolt from the sky!

It was shocked to hear that the Nafirutali family had a close relationship with the Dragons. Not to mention Clockdal, even Robin was shocked. They never expected that this barren desert country had such a big appearance.

"Although the Nafirutali family gave up their identity as a celestial dragon and did not become the 'Nafirutali Saint', the important task of protecting the Pluto for generations is to be with them. Once an unexpected happens, many people will be buried with them." Duke looked at Clockdal provocatively: "Mr. Crocodile, do you want to bear the thunderous wrath of the world government?"

"That incompetent king actually has such a origin..." Clockdal's face turned pale, but soon the ambition suppressed his fear. He sneered: "If I get Pluto, the world government can't do anything to me, what's there to be afraid of!"

How could a man who doesn't even care about the white beard fear the bullshit world government? In this sea, there are many pirates who are willing to give everything for their ambitions or dreams. How could a hero of Clockdal I retreat half a step because of the world government? The king defeated the enemy, and he would rather fight for his ambition!

"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry! Then you'll be in the yellow sand all over the sky, looking for your dreams!" Duke said, and was about to take Robin away.

Clockdal waved his hand and raised a sand curtain to block the way, saying gloomy: "I didn't say you can leave! Leave the place of Pluto, or leave Nicole Robin!"

Duke laughed furiously: "How dare you ask for my man? I'm so brave. Just rely on your 81 million Bailey's bounty?"

Clockdal laughed softly and said sarcastically: "Borrow... When has the bounty become the standard for measuring strength?"

The crocodile's words are very reasonable, and the bounty does not represent strength!

Judging from the level he has achieved in the war on the top, his bounty is far more than 81 million Baileys, which will be at least several times. Unfortunately, after becoming the king and going to the Seven Warriors Sea, the original wanted order will be abolished and the bounty will never increase again, so the crocodile will always have to bear less than 100 million bounty.

The crocodile is the first truly powerful enemy that Luffy encountered after going out to sea. When he first appeared, he was domineering and his fruit ability was also scary. If he lost to Luffy, he could only say that he was not lucky and even if he was unlucky, he would be stuck in his teeth when drinking cold water.

Natural rust fruits can turn one's elements into sand and ignore physical attacks. They can also absorb water from rocks or soil into sand particles, manipulate and produce sand storms. What's more, they can absorb water from the human body and turn their opponents into mummies.

In terms of ability, Clockdal developed the Shasha fruit perfectly, and had excellent attack power in close combat and long battles.
