After Rob Lucci said those words, several people were obviously stunned.
It would be okay if he was killed by Crocodile, and it would be fine if the World Government arranges a crime for Sakushi, and there would be no shame.
But if the Shichibukai were killed by ordinary pirates, it would not be a good thing.
The overall deterrent power of the Shichibukai and the dominance and influence of the World Government will be indirectly affected. Many people will even start to actively provoke the "Shichibukai" and no longer take the World Government's appearance seriously.
"Can it be saved?"
"No, he... is dead. He was killed by the 'Red Dog'. There were many people who saw him. I...can't kill them all."
Several people looked at each other and discussed for a while.
Finally, the bald star who proposed the "renewal agreement" spoke to the World Government officials standing by: "It is announced to the public that the 'King of Crocodile' Sakuzu no longer ceased to be a Shichibukai a month ago."
An old man with a beard spoke to the officer on standby on the other side: "Let the Navy clean up the bastards on Serenity Island. The news of the death of the 'King of Crocodiles' must be suppressed for at least two days."
The old man wearing a white robe, glasses, and holding a long knife pushed up his glasses: "Isn't this 'red dog' the one that the guy from the Warring States Period has always admired? It just so happened that after the battle, I asked Rob Lucci to give it to him first.
Verbally send an invitation letter to the Shichibukai."
"With so many people on Serenity Island, the news is absolutely unstoppable. In this case, with the reputation of 'killing the crocodile king', wouldn't he be a very suitable candidate to become the Shichibukai?"
"If the 'Red Dog' agrees, on the day when the Warring States Period takes office as Marshal, remember to reveal some information and say, 'It is to give the Warring States Marshal some face,' so that he can behave better in the future."
"If that guy doesn't agree, let the navy send people to kill him."
...
On the battlefield ten minutes ago.
Crocodile casually threw two small desert tornadoes to interfere with Saku Su's sight and actions. Although the effect was minimal, it did have an effect.
At this critical moment, any effect that seems insignificant in normal times can play a key role.
"Go to hell."
Crocodile finally spit out the cigar that had been sucked dry from his mouth, and it turned into a ball of yellow sand and rolled towards Sakushi.
Sakusu watched with a sullen face, ignoring the tornadoes around him and staring at Crocodile flying in front of him. From the corner of his eye, he saw Kazan turning into a red shadow and flying towards this side.
"...I'm really old...the young people today are really amazing."
Sakushi retreated from the state of the crocodile man and turned into his own body. He did not hide the fatigue on his face and pressed down his body. At this time, his face was full of indifference and smile.
He was very aware of his physical condition. He didn't have much physical strength left. After all, he was no longer what he was when he was younger. It was indeed difficult to continue fighting.
When he was young, he relied on his animal-type recovery ability to fight everywhere. Now that he is in his sixties and almost seventy years old, his body is full of internal injuries, and he can no longer sustain a long-term battle.
Saku Suzhen is neither a foreigner like Charlotte Lingling or Kaido, nor is he proficient in [Return of Life] like Garp and Sengoku. He is just an old man with stronger strength.
Even if an old man like Zefa, who was also proficient in [Returning Life], had his combat power reduced to that level after ten years, one can imagine Saku's terrible physical condition.
Saku Suzu could already predict what kind of... ending he would face next.
"Desert Greatsword!"
Crocodile's eyes were full of Sakusu's fear. This blow was destined to kill Sakusu. He had been thinking about killing someone for more than ten years.
The 'Crocodile King' is simply his biggest obsession under the white beard of the 'Sand Crocodile'.
Crocodile fell into the sand like falling sand in mid-air, turned into a golden sword flowing in the sand, and stabbed Saku's fearful chest.
But Kazan, who rushed to Sakusu's side at almost the same time as Crocodile, was targeting more than just one of them!
[Soul-hungry Demon-Sealing Slash]
Kazan came to the extended line between the two of them and stretched out his ghost hand. While opening his palm to create a huge suction force, Kazan shot out another [Earth Splitting·Wave Slash] with his right hand.
Sakusu was right between Crocodile and Kazan, and he wanted to take advantage of their tricks at the same time.
Sakusu glanced at the bloody vortex and yellow sword energy behind him, and then at the sand sword in front of him.
He raised his two dark arms with an expressionless expression, and his elbows were shiny black, which showed the high quality of his armed color domineering. Perhaps there was only a little distance left from the high-level armed color, or maybe it was the original one.
faded.
The yellow sword energy struck Saku Sucun's back, leaving a long scar directly. The flesh and blood were clearly visible, and the blood flowed down his back on the sand.
Saku Sukai had no intention of guarding against this move. He had put all his energy and domineering energy into these last two fists.
Kazan's bloody vortex failed to have much impact on the tall and strong Saku Suceng, but only made his movements a little slower.
The moment the whirlpool suddenly stopped, Kazan's ghost hand held the useless handle and lifted it up. At the same time, the golden sand sword transformed by Crocodile had already pierced Saku's fearful chest.
Bang!!!
When Crocodile penetrated his body and became temporarily stiff, Saksu took the opportunity to slam his elbow into the yellow sand in front of him.
"puff."
Crocodile was hit in the back of the heart by Saku Suzu's blow. His heart stopped for a moment, and he returned to his original form and lay on the ground vomiting blood.
He felt that he couldn't continue to lie down here, otherwise Sakushi would stomp on his head, but he felt that his body was almost falling apart and he had no strength to get up.
The blood sword that Kazan raised also reached its position at this moment, and directly struck the gash in Saku Suzu's back that had just been opened by his sword energy.
Not only that, the blood-stained uppercut also hit Crocodile who was unable to move on the ground. However, due to the relatively long distance, Crocodile was only brushed by the edge and flew out without suffering any further damage.
Serious injury.
"My whole life... is full of regrets. I didn't get to die on the sea... It's a pity, but... it might be good to use my name to support two young people with potential."
Saku's body slowly began to crack from his back. Before the body cracked completely, he recalled the death of his former rival Roger... but it directly ushered in a new era.
In comparison, it seems like nothing to him.
Really...I have never been better than you, Roger.
