Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 108 The Silence of the Crowd

two days ago.

The Kingdom of Alabasta.

In the city's rainy landscape, in the underground space of a massive casino called Rain Banquet.

"You mean the target hasn't been found yet?"

A man with slicked-back hair, wearing a black fur coat and a cigar in his mouth, sat in the boss's chair, looking expressionlessly at the Den Den Mushi on the table in front of him.

And this man is none other than Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the schemer who manipulated the turmoil in Alabasta!

Upon hearing his question, a cold, stern male voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Yes, Mr. 0, Miss Golden Week and I have been guarding the small garden for two days, but we haven't seen the target group come here."

Crocodile narrowed his eyes and lightly tapped the table with the golden hook in his left hand.

Under normal circumstances, the target should have already arrived at Little Garden, since Little Garden is the first island that must be passed through after leaving Cactus Island in order to return to Alabasta.

Unless, of course, the other side doesn't follow this route and instead targets Alabasta directly.

Thinking of this, his gaze shifted to Robin, who was leaning against the wall not far away, and he asked coldly, "Miss AIISunday, are you sure they don't have any other permanent pointers pointing to Alabasta?"

To lock onto Alabasta, you need a permanent pointer that points to it, and Robin previously stated that she had already obtained the permanent pointer for the target.

Robin crossed his arms, raised his eyes, and said calmly, "Mr. 0, since they chose to use Icarus as bait to attract our attention, they certainly won't follow the same route as him."

"Moreover, just in case, I've also had people patrolling this route. If they had been spotted, our people would have informed us long ago."

Upon returning to Alabasta, she reported to Crocodile that she had killed Ikaram, the decoy sent by the enemy, and had also obtained the permanent pointer in their possession, suspecting that the target would return to Alabasta via the normal route of the recorded pointer.

Hearing her answer, Crocodile's face remained expressionless; he simply looked away and pondered something to himself.

After a while, he gave the command to the Den Den Mushi, which had been silent since answering: "M"

R.3, You and Miss Golden Week will continue to guard the small garden. Do not leave without my orders. Report to me immediately upon spotting the target.

After hanging up the call, he made a series of phone calls.

"Miss Christmas, there's a mission for you and Mr. 4. Go immediately..."

1

"Mr. 1, I have an urgent mission for you. Go immediately..."

"Mr. 2, search the route from Cactus Island to Alabasta..."

"Once the target is spotted, kill her immediately! She must never be allowed to return to Alabasta!"

Crocodile's face was gloomy.

His plan, which he had been scheming for several years, was almost ready. At this crucial juncture, he could not allow any changes to occur. Princess Vivi, who knew his identity, could not be allowed to return to Alabasta alive!

On the nameless island, Goku and his friends had no idea that their mysterious disappearance had prompted Crocodile to mobilize a large force, dispatching many of his capable henchmen to search for them.

And to this day, it has still not been found.

Having eliminated the dangers of the island, they had set up a grill and were preparing to have a barbecue.

After all, it takes time to build up magnetic energy. Taking advantage of this time to eat something delicious and relax can help you recharge for the intense mission ahead in Alabasta.

However, now, besides helping Sanji prepare the barbecue, Nami and the others are also keeping an eye on Goku, who has run into the nearby stone forest and is throwing punches.

"Haaah!!"

In the stone forest, Wukong clenched his fist and slammed it into a huge rock that was at least two stories high.

When the fist, carrying a strong wind, touched the boulder, the boulder cracked instantly, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out densely from the point of impact.

Two seconds later, with a loud bang, the massive boulder shattered into many pieces right in front of Wukong.

Goku withdrew his fist, looked at it, and muttered to himself, "Is this all the power I have now?"

Then an interest flashed in his eyes: "Then let's try the effect after covering it with Armament Haki."

He looked around and found another boulder about the same size as the one before. Then, with a thought, a black energy emanated from his fist and enveloped the entire fist.

Immediately afterward, with a determined look in his eyes, he hurled the boulder forward once more.

"Haaah!!"

boom!!!

This time, the boulder instantly shattered, and fragments of varying sizes rained down all over the ground.

Not only that, an invisible shockwave also passed through the boulder and slammed into several other rocks behind it in the same direction, shattering them into dust and creating a blank path filled with billowing dust!

Standing before the shattered stones, Goku stared at the billowing dust, his mouth agape in astonishment: "Has covering it with Armament Haki made you this powerful?"

He recalled what Garp had said—that Armament Haki could greatly enhance attack power—and nodded in deep agreement: "Grandpa Garp is right, Armament Haki is indeed a wonderful thing!"

"But what about that energy, and the energy from my Kamehameha wave?"

Over the past few days, he gradually discovered that the energy condensed from the Kamehameha wave and Armament Haki seemed somewhat similar.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on where they were similar or different. He thought about it for a long time and figured it was probably because he wasn't familiar enough with these two energies.

"Well, never mind. Once I get more familiar with them, I'll eventually discover what they're similar and different about."

After scratching his head for a few seconds, he shook his head and put the question out of his mind.

"I'm hungry, it's time to eat."

He held the back of his head and slowly walked towards where Nami and the others were.

When he returned to the group, he found that everyone was looking at him with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He tilted his head in confusion.

Nami looked at him with a complicated expression: "Goku, have you noticed that the gap between your strength and ours is widening?"

After witnessing the astonishing sight of Goku smashing a series of boulders with a single punch, they all fell silent.

If this was done by Wukong using his Ruyi Jingu Bang, they could accept it, since it involved external force. But since it was done solely by physical strength, it seemed exaggerated to them.

The other party was just a child, a child who was not even thirteen years old. Such strength at such a young age really made them feel a mix of emotions.

As for Sanji, he felt even more that he had wasted all these years.

At his age, he was just a weak child with almost no ability to protect himself.

"Isn't this because you haven't been cultivating properly?"

Wukong was even more puzzled.

If you practiced diligently every day like I do, you wouldn't have fallen behind me.

Little did he know that his simple and honest answer was like a sharp blade, piercing deeply into the hearts of everyone present.

Nami, Vivi, and Sanji all recalled Goku's training methods over the past few days and twitched their lips in unison.

With your utterly perverse cultivation methods, who could possibly accept them?!

Even if we could accept it, are you sure we could really become as strong as you?

We're not some kind of freak with extraordinary talent like you!
