The Reincarnation Journey of an Minecraft Player

The decision not to kill Crocodile was intentional. Firstly, it was to test the Seastone handcuffs' ability to lock in health, and secondly, it was because of Crocodile's identity.

Judging from the later plot, Crocodile is acquainted with Whitebeard, Shanks, and others in the New World, although it's hard to say whether they are friends or enemies.

However, Crocodile must have some undisclosed secret, so killing him directly would be a waste.

Gao Ge plans to change worlds and first seal Crocodile away; keeping him in the lower realm is a good decision.

Seastone can weaken Devil Fruit users, but it also provides an opportunity for them to focus on training their Haki.

That's how Kai-sensei taught Luffy.

Therefore, in addition to the sea stone handcuffs, a boat also needs to be prepared for him to be sealed.

To prevent Crocodile from starving, while he's unconscious, put a cleverly designed backpack on his back containing feeding upgrades. A backpack full of bread will be enough for Crocodile to eat for several years.

After settling Lao Sha in, Gao Ge finally had time to check on the battle situation in the other places.

None of the beacons went out, indicating that there were no major problems anywhere.

Gao Ge took out a pre-prepared signal flare and lit it, indicating that Lao Sha had been captured.

Soon, signal flares indicating the completion of the mission were also raised in several other locations.

Before Zoro got lost, Gao Ge quickly brought him back.

Not long after, the rest of the people also returned.

Everyone bore the marks of battle; their damaged clothes and bloodstains showed that the fight they had gone through was equally intense.

Gao Ge and Luffy weren't worried at all. Under the protection of the life recovery effect, everyone's health was at full. Even if they were injured during the battle, they had all fully recovered by now.

Being able to recover blood doesn't mean it won't hurt.

Because the health level remained within a safe threshold, the adrenaline didn't have time to kick in, which actually made the pain sensation during combat even more sensitive.

Zoro's eyes held a gentleness he had never shown before, but upon closer inspection, there was an indescribable sharpness within that gentleness.

It's about the realm of swordsmanship. Clearly, Zoro has reached the level of cutting through steel, and his swordsmanship is far superior to Koga's.

But Gao Ge didn't care. He didn't follow that mysterious route; he could cut through steel just by relying on sheer strength and throwing bricks. Obviously, even if Zoro used "One-Sword Style Iai - Lion's Song" now, he wouldn't be as strong as Gao Ge.

Although the others hadn't grown as much, it was also the first time they had faced an opponent of cadre level on their own.

Especially Usopp, who had already fought independently quite a few times in the original storyline, but this was his first time in this timeline.

Vivi looked at the chaotic capital and still couldn't quite believe it.

"So, it's all over?"

"I've already taken Crocodile into custody, so it's all over now."

Gao Ge added a sentence,

"But the resistance..."

These words made Weiwei's heart jump again.

Yes, Crocodile and his Baroque Works have come to an end, but the Rebel Alliance has not disbanded; they still have 50,000 combat-ready soldiers entrenched in Katrea.

Or in a sense, the people singing in front of them are their true leaders.

Will Gao Ge be the next Crocodile?

Seeing Weiwei's nervous expression, Gao Ge waved his hand.

"Don't worry, the rest is up to you. Who can say what the future holds?"

Vivi didn't understand what Gao Ge meant, and she planned to ask her father, the King of Alabasta, later.

Nami, however, seemed somewhat concerned about the matter. A scene inexplicably flashed through her mind of Gao Ge leading the villagers in judging the Arlong Pirates.

I always felt that Gao Ge often paid attention to things that they had never noticed before.

"You intend to let the rebels try Baroque Works?"

Nami asked somewhat uncertainly.

Upon hearing Nami's question, Gao Ge chuckled and shook his head.

"For the rebels, Baroque Works, even Crocodile, are unimportant. Guess what matters to them?"

Nami seemed lost in thought.

In order to seize the kingdom, Crocodile's public image is actually positive, and he usually suppresses invading pirates.

On the contrary, the country's royal family has been heavily criticized because of the dancing fans, and even the king has been labeled a tyrant.

"They want to put the king on trial?! But Vivi's father didn't do anything wrong; it was all Crocodile's doing!"

"You're wrong, Nami."

Gao Ge patted Nami on the shoulder, "Regardless of whether her father was right or wrong, the only one who can become the king of this country is Vivi, who can turn the tide. Because as a king, her father has lost the dignity that a ruler should have."

Royal power is built upon authority, and over the years, under Crocodile's manipulation, the old king's face has been humiliated countless times.

"...What do the rebels want?"

Yes, what do they want?

As Gao Ge watched the sandstorm gradually subside, he figured that if the kingdom didn't interfere with Katariya, there shouldn't be any major trouble in the short term.

But if the kingdom takes a hard line against the rebels...

There's a 70% chance that kings and nobles are born with their titles, and a 30% chance that the kingdom is already corrupt. Comrades, follow me to liberate the suffering people!

"Let's not worry about things here. If we have the chance, we'll come back and take a look. Maybe we'll see some scenery we've never seen before."

The navy finally arrived after everything had settled down.

Looking at the astonishing sword mark on the street, Smoker felt a slight pain in his gums and a chill run down his back.

Back in Loguetown, this guy went way too far in holding back.

If I had known you had this ability, who the hell would have dared to stop you!

"Hey, smoking guy, busy at work?"

Smoker gritted his teeth, forcing a look that was more like a grimace, and began to speak.

"If you're going to leave, then leave now. If you intend to do anything to this country, I'll stop you, even if it costs me my life!"

Gao Ge reached out and took Smoker's cigar.

"Who cares? Our goal is the end of the Grand Line; we'll be leaving soon. As for you, whether you smoke or not is fine, but don't set a bad example for your lovely subordinates!"

Of course, I'm talking about Tashigi, the girl with glasses. It's fine for you as a user of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, but how could anyone else stand having a cigarette in their mouth like you every day!

In the original storyline, there was a naval fleet chasing the Straw Hat crew, but this time there isn't a single ship on the sea.

Smoker also knew that with a great swordsman like Gao Ge around, it would be pointless for any number of marines of this caliber to go.

It has to be at least a naval fleet from the New World.

Without any hindrance, Gao Ge and the others returned to the Going Merry smoothly.

On the deck of the Going Merry, Robin was looking at the black crack in front of her with curiosity. Noticing that Gao Ge and the others had boarded the ship, she turned around and asked,

"This is very interesting. Do you know what this is?"
