One Piece: Inheriting the Shendu Template, I Summon Demons

Crocodile could not gain his approval at all.

But defeating Admiral Kizaru was a completely different story.

Even he could never have done that.

"A bounty of four hundred million?" Shanks suddenly realized the blind spot and said in disbelief.

The Navy Headquarters only offered a bounty of 400 million for someone who defeated a Navy Admiral in a head-on confrontation.

Their strength is completely disproportionate to Luo Xiu's.

Could it be... that the Navy is intentionally lowering Rosh's bounty?

There's something fishy going on here!

"This Luo Xiu is definitely not just someone with the formidable strength he has displayed!"

"Perhaps there are other secrets hidden behind him!" the redhead said in a deep voice.

"In the meantime, keep an eye on the movements of the Marine Headquarters! And also on Luo Xiu's whereabouts!"

"I have a feeling that something big is about to happen!" Shanks said with a serious expression.

do not know why.

The sudden appearance of a new pirate with strength comparable to an admiral on the high seas made him feel uneasy.

The previously stable situation at sea now seems likely to be disrupted.

Chapter 49 The Shattered Dao Heart! Recent Developments in the Kingdom of Alabasta!

Donghai, Rogge Town.

Colonel Smoker's office.

After a period of recuperation, Smoker's injuries caused by Rosh have almost fully recovered.

But at this moment, he was in a very bad mood.

Because he learned that after defeating him, Luo Xiu actually left the East Blue and entered the Grand Line.

Furthermore, in the Alabasta Kingdom, he defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Smoker was furious about this.

Since Luo Xiu left the East China Sea, it would be much more difficult for the colonel in charge of the headquarters there to arrest him.

It is even more impossible to wash away the previous humiliation.

Being defeated by Roche and pounded to the ground will be an indelible stain on his life.

"hateful!"

"Even if you reach the Grand Line and defeat Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so what!"

"One day, I will surpass you!" Smoker's face hardened, and he slammed his hand on the table, the cigar in his mouth trembling.

Although he was defeated by Luo Xiu, he did not believe that Luo Xiu was invincible.

With diligence and hard work, Smoker believed that one day his strength would increase significantly, and then he would crush Rosh on the Grand Line.

Boom boom boom!

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Smoker composed himself.

Tashigi strode in with her long legs, holding a newspaper published by the World News Agency.

"how?"

"Is there any news about Rosh?" Smoker asked when he saw Tashigi enter.

Since his defeat, he has paid particular attention to news about Luo Xiu.

So that one day it will be convenient for me to take revenge and personally arrest him.

"Some are colonels!"

“It’s news about Rosh in Alabasta!” Tashigi nodded.

"Tell me about it!" Smoker's expression softened upon hearing this.

"Latest news from World News Press!"

"After defeating Crocodile, Roshka then, with an invincible aura, defeated Admiral Kizaru... and finally escaped safely..."

"..."

"What?" Smoker looked astonished and jumped up from his chair.

"What did you say?"

"Luo Xiu defeated Admiral Kizaru?"

Tashigi was startled by Smoker's reaction and nodded weakly.

Then, she placed the newspaper in her hand in front of Smoker.

The latter looked at the contents and swallowed hard.

The large, gleaming words in the title shook Smoker's fragile heart to its core.

“Defeated Admiral Kizaru…” Smoker murmured, the cigar he was holding falling to the ground with a thud.

His eyes were lifeless, and he slumped in the chair.

Click!

In a trance.

It seems something suddenly broke.

Smoker's Daoist heart.

At this moment, it shattered into pieces...

........

Kingdom of Alabasta.

A scene of bustling activity.

The people, armed with all sorts of tools, built this city after the war.

Although the process was arduous, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

After Rosh defeated Crocodile in the royal city, the conspiracy behind Baroque Works was gradually brought to light.

People finally realized that the three-year drought wasn't due to the king secretly using rain-inducing agents, but rather because the so-called people's hero Crocodile was plotting everything in secret.

The goal was to incite infighting among them, thereby seizing the throne.

After the Navy delivered Crocodile to Impel Down, the rebels, who were originally at odds with each other, laid down their weapons.

After a long-awaited downpour.

Everything went back to before Crocodile came to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

The kingdom, which had long suffered from rebellion, has returned to peace.

The only difference is.

There was a pirate named Luo Xiu who was often talked about in the royal city.

Inside the royal palace of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Princess's Room.

Weiwei sat on the edge of the bed, her cheeks puffed out, one hand supporting her chin, her face filled with worry.

Where did Luo Xiu go?

she muttered.

For more than two days after leaving Kizaru that day, Luo Xiu never appeared again.

They didn't come to collect the three Devil Fruits they were promised.

This made her start to think.

As Rosh had said, after defeating Crocodile and resolving the kingdom's crisis, he would take the reward from the palace.

But now there's not a single word from the palace.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and the King of Alabasta strode in.

"Father!"

"Is there any news about Luo Xiu?" Weiwei asked, her eyes lighting up as she saw her father arrive.

The King of Alabasta shook his head, then took a newspaper out of his pocket.

"The Navy has issued a warrant for Roche's arrest!"

"The bounty is four hundred million!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Weiwei's eyes.

"A four hundred million bounty!" she murmured, her tone heavy with self-reproach.

If Luo Xiu hadn't been trying to resolve the crisis within the kingdom, he wouldn't have faced Crocodile, let alone Admiral Kizaru, and naturally wouldn't have had a bounty of 400 million.

Although it was a fair deal when it was discussed, in Weiwei's view, Luo Xiu's ability to restore peace to the country was more valuable than anything else.

"Do not worry!"
