"Eagle Eye Mihawk...what is your purpose here?" White Hunter Smoker finally found Eagle Eye Mihawk, pointing the weapon in his hand at him, and asked.
The purpose of the Straw Hats coming here is to defeat Crocodile and save this country, because the princess of this country is their friend.
Fire Fist Ace came to this country for Nico Robin, because Nico Robin is the daughter of their deputy captain Reiner.
So now the only hostile force that Smoker doesn't know about is one of the Shichibukai in front of him, Hawkeye Mihawk. This is why he changed his route halfway and did not continue to pursue Ace and the Blackbeard Pirates.
reason.
"Navy... don't disturb me... otherwise... I don't mind killing you!" Mihawk glanced at Smoker and said softly.
"Mihawk, don't forget your identity as the Shichibukai!" Originally, Smoker hated the Shichibukai organization the most. He thought it was an insult to the navy's ability, but now he can only use this
An excuse to remind Hawkeye not to mess around.
Because Alabasta is already quite chaotic now, and if Hawkeye joins in, it will be even more chaotic.
"His Majesty the Shichibukai? If the World Government hadn't begged me, do you think I would have joined?" Hawkeye Mihawk chuckled and said, "And I said, I just want to see Aokiji and the Whitebeard Pirates.
It’s just who the person is looking for, now...you can leave!"
Smoker took a deep breath, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a violent explosion outside the city, followed by a huge pillar of fire rising up.
Smoker's expression changed. He knew that Fire Fist Ace was already fighting with Blackbeard, and he had to rush over to take a look.
"Eagle Eye, this country is already in chaos. Stop messing around!" After saying this, Smoker turned around and ran towards the outside of the city.
Hawkeye watched Smoker leave and did not stop him. Instead, he looked up at the place where the flames had just erupted. After thinking about it thoughtfully, he turned around and left.
In the Albana Palace, the appearance of Navy Admiral Qing Pheasant made things more complicated.
"General Aokiji? Why did you appear here?" Crocodile squinted his eyes and stared at the sudden appearance of Aokiji and asked.
"Eh? Admiral? Weiwei, what is an admiral?" Luffy, who had met Aoji before, asked curiously after hearing Aoji's identity.
"The navy is the most powerful force on the sea, and the general is the one who is under the marshal and has the strongest combat power among all the navies! This person... is Qing Pheasant, one of the three generals of the navy!" Wei Wei said with an ugly face.
.
Because Crocodile is the king of the Shichibukai, neither she nor King Kobra like the navy very much.
Everyone looked at Qing Pheasant, as if waiting for his move.
"Nicole Robin! Do you still remember our agreement? When you show signs of threatening the world, I will come and take your life!" Qingzhi looked at Luo who was surprised by his appearance.
Bin, said softly.
"I'm just chasing history!" Robin said softly.
"But your current actions have caused harm to this kingdom and are showing signs of harming the world!" Aokiji slowly put away his smile and said seriously.
"Haha... If you want to kill me, just do it. You don't have to make so many excuses!" Robin said with a chuckle as he didn't seem to be afraid at all.
"In that case...then I represent justice...I will punish you right here! Two-thorned spear!" After Qingzhi said that, he directly used ice to create two tridents with his hands, and stabbed Robin.
"Desert Sword!"
"Navy! Don't go too far! Nico Robin is mine! According to the agreement, as the King of the Shichibukai, I have the full power to protect my subordinates! Do you, the Navy, want to break the agreement?"
Unexpectedly, Crocodile actually rescued Robin.
"Krokdal...as the King of the Shichibukai, I already know everything you have done in this country. When I return to the headquarters, I will apply to deprive you of your status as a Shichibukai!" Aokiji said calmly.
His words made Princess Weiwei and King Kobra breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the navy did not side with Crocodile, they would still have a chance in Alabasta.
"Guhahaha... Even if you want to deprive me of my identity, you still need the World Government to issue a document. Until then, my martial arts Shichibukai identity is legal. Once you do it, the Shichibukai system that the World Government has worked so hard to establish will be
Falling apart, such consequences...are you sure you can bear it!?" Crocodile said with a laugh.
Aoji's face turned ugly. Crocodile was right. The Shichibukai system established by the World Government had made many navy unhappy, but this was not the reason why they could attack the Shichibukai.
Once the other Qibukai think that this identity is useless because of his relationship, then the Qibukai will really become a joke, and then there will be real trouble.
But soon, Aokiji became calm again. His goal this time was just Nico Robin. As for Crocodile, it won't be too late to take care of him in the future.
Without the title of King Shichibukai, as a naval admiral, if he wants to deal with the opponent, wouldn't he be able to do it?
Seeing that Aokiji was silent and did not speak, Crocodile knew that he had made the right bet. As a naval admiral, Aokiji did not dare to attack him as the king's Shichibukai.
In fact, the current structure of the world has reached a balance due to the relationship between the Shichibukai, the Yonko and the Navy Headquarters, so Aokiji is unwilling to destroy this hard-won peace because of Crocodile.
If after a while, after this balance was broken due to Luffy, Crocodile still dared to say this to Aokiji, Aokiji would definitely teach him how to be a human being.
"Hmph~ What~ I thought you were a good person, but it turns out you are also with him!" Luffy over there saw this and said dissatisfied.
Hearing Luffy's words, Aokiji was speechless. It was hard for him to explain this kind of thing, so he could only say: "Nico Robin, I have to take you away no matter what today, so... Crocodile, you want to
If you dare to stop me, I won't mind taking you back to Mariejoia, and then you can explain what you did to the Five Old Stars in person!"
Crocodile was speechless with a cigar in his mouth. If Aokiji really wanted to take action, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him, but in interpreting historical texts, he still needs the help of Nicole Robin. Otherwise, what would it matter even if he occupied Alabasta?
use?
And this is exactly Aokiji's way of stopping Crocodile.
"Wei Wei, what should we do now?" Luffy asked Wei Wei.
Because of the relationship with the king, Luffy has been suppressing himself and not taking action. Now because of Aokiji, Crocodile has left the king's side, so Luffy asked this question.
"Let's do it later. I'll pester Crocodile, and the king will leave it to you. Do you have any questions?" Before Weiwei could answer, Jaka on the side spoke first.
"Yes! That guy... must be beaten away by me!" Luffy shook his head and stared at Crocodile and said.
Jaka was speechless. Between dealing with Crocodile and saving the king, it was obviously easier to save the king, so he specifically asked Luffy to save the king. Unexpectedly, Luffy refused.
"Okay, then it's up to you! Your Highness Weiwei, please pay attention to Nico Robin and the navy over there. If you can, don't let Nico Robin die on our land in Alabasta!"
Jaka nodded towards Luffy and said.
"Please wait... Lord Jaka...!!" Just when they were about to take action, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the door.
Because Robin's organization was missing, the gate of the palace was breached by the king's army.
"Who?" Crocodile looked sideways and saw four tall Alabasta guards walking in with weapons.
"It's the Sharp Claw Troop!" Weiwei recognized the other party immediately, because the other party was a troop that had served as a royal guard for a long time.
"The door has been breached by the Sharp Claw troops. Let's go up and save the princess and the king!"
"They are indeed an elite unit. Although there are only four of them, they are really powerful!"
Outside the palace, the cheers of the king's army came in.
"Oh~ It's quite popular! I'll just let you go and go home!" Crocodile glanced at Qing Pheasant and said softly.
Because Nico Robin had no intention of escaping, Aokiji did not move. He believed that Nico Robin would not be able to escape as long as he was here, so he also planned to see the outcome of this country.
"Your Majesty the King... I will protect you to the death... It is the mission of the four of us. Now that you are like this, how can we stand idly by?"
"Although the opponent is the Shichibukai..."
"I will never run away from battle!"
"So...please let the four of us..."
The four members of the Sharp Claw Troops said as they walked: "Let's deal with this guy together!"
"Oh? In that case...I can help you! Are you sure you don't want to leave? It's still too late to leave now!" Crocodile said with a look of disdain.
"That can't be done...there's a reason why we can't retreat!" the tallest among the four replied.
"Oh? Reason?" Crocodile tilted his head and asked slightly curiously.
"If you are really the culprit of such a war..."
"We can't just retreat like this!"
After the four of them finished speaking, the muscles on their bodies suddenly swelled, and some strange lines appeared on their bodies.
"Wait...Jia Ka, something seems wrong with them!" Princess Weiwei said in surprise when she saw the state of the four of them.
"Those guys... those markings... are unmistakable!" Jaka clenched his fists and seemed to become angry, saying: "In order to gain temporary strength, they drank luxury water... It was a kind of consumption.
Water that increases your vitality and strength over a period of time... Once you drink it, your life will only be a few minutes left!"
"How is that possible!?" Princess Weiwei said in disbelief.
Luffy, who was still a little eager to try, also stopped and waited for the sharp claw troops to fight.
As Jaka finished speaking, the four sharp claw troops had already attacked Crocodile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I knew they were risking their lives just to challenge me!" Facing the attack of the four men, Crocodile had no intention of dodge, but stood on the spot and said with a chuckle.
"I'm sorry... Lord Jaka, forgive us for our willfulness! But... we must let this man know... the pain of this country and the... anger of this country!!!"
"Pfft..."
The weapons of the four men split Crocodile's body into countless fine sands, but soon, the fine sand flew and formed Crocodile again above the palace.
"You idiots!" Jaka lowered his head and tried not to let his tears flow down.
"Guhahaha... You are so ignorant of current affairs. You should cherish life! But it seems to be too late... Guhahaha... Anyway, you are almost dead, so there is no need for me to take action!" Sit down!
Crocodile, who was above the palace, looked at the people below and said with a smile.
"Forehead……"
Seeing that due to time constraints, the sharp claw troops could not attack Crocodile, and their bodies began to wither and fall. Jaka said in a deep voice: "Faced with such a warrior... you don't even bother to fight?"
"Ah~~ah~~Jaka...sir!"
As the last member of the Sharp Claw army fell, Jaka could no longer control his anger and rushed directly to Crocodile, shouting: "Asshole... you bastard... I will make you pay the price!"
