He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

"Guxin! Long time no see!"

Enke was incredibly fast. One second he was waving, and the next he was standing in front of Guxin, pacing back and forth.

Perhaps it was his nature as a roadrunner, but he fell in love with Alabasta as soon as he arrived, because it was all desert.

It felt so good to have bird claws stepping on the soft yellow sand!

"It's been a long time, Enke," Guxin said with a smile.

Three months have passed since our first meeting. During this time, Enke has not yet been promoted, but he is one step closer to becoming the editor-in-chief.

After the two had greeted each other, [Run Fast] finally arrived in front of them.

"quack--"

[Run Fast] appeared extremely disappointed, with tears streaming down his face.

Chopper once again took on the role of the top-notch translator, sometimes nodding, sometimes expressing sympathy:

"Oh, I see. How pitiful."

"It couldn't even outrun a single human, what a disgrace to the running duck race! It's too ashamed to show its face..." That's what it said.

Before she could even pay attention to "Running Fast," Weiwei flipped down and looked at Gu Xin, who seemed completely unharmed. She hesitated for a moment, then said nervously:

"Is the matter...received?"

She knew that Gushin would be challenging Crocodile today, and she had just heard a loud roar in the distance.

It's obvious that a fight has broken out.

But?

If he really fought that powerful crocodile, how come Guxin didn't seem to have any injuries at all?

Even the corners of his clothes were spotless.

Having not witnessed the entire battle, Vivi had no idea what had happened.

Gu Xin nodded slightly: "It's been completely resolved. We're on our way to Baroque Works to nip it in the bud."

It actually succeeded?!

Weiwei was stunned at first, then subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, as if a long-awaited wish had come true.

What surprised her even more was that Guxin really had the strength to defeat the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"What? What are you talking about?" the lively Enke asked impatiently.

Even now, he still doesn't know what the "big news" Guxin was talking about is.

He traveled all the way to Alabasta simply because of his trust in Gushin, based on those few words.

Then Vivi picked him up and brought him here to see Gu Xin.

"Enke, I know you've always wanted to be editor-in-chief." Guxin placed his hand on Enke's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Now I'm giving you a very good news story!"

"Trust me, it can absolutely help you achieve your dream of becoming an editor-in-chief."

Upon hearing this, Enke's breathing quickened.

Although he only had a short time with Gu Xin, he had a keen eye for people and knew that Gu Xin was no ordinary person.

What could be so significant that would make him say that?

Is this even bigger than the last news about the Shichibukai's Kanebe colluding with the Navy?

Enke started to let his mind wander, but before he could think for long, Guxin snapped his fingers and pulled him back to reality.

The next moment, he held his breath.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was none other than Crocodile's corpse!

Crocodile looked as if he had suffered a terrible impact; a large chunk of his chest collapsed, and he twisted irregularly in various places.

Gu Xin said in a low voice, "If I told you now—"

"The drought that lasted for over a year in Alabasta was actually caused by Crocodile, a Shichibukai known as a 'Hero,' whose aim was to steal the entire kingdom!"

"Isn't this news sensational enough?!"

"And I have audio evidence of his own words, and I killed him to give the people of Alabasta a bright future."

"I think this kind of news is good enough for you to become the editor-in-chief."

Enke froze after uttering the first word from Guxin.

Immediately, a bone-chilling cold surged through his body, goosebumps rose all over his skin, and it was as if even his soul trembled involuntarily.

What followed was an unprecedented sense of excitement!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea attempt to steal the Alabasta Kingdom!

The one who killed the people was actually the highly revered hero Crocodile!

And, Gushin, a rising star among pirates, killed a veteran Shichibukai!

Enke's brain raced, and he instantly thought of these three sentences.

It's no exaggeration to say that any single sentence in it could be published on the front page of a newspaper, with a large, bold font as the headline!

"Guxin! You really helped me a lot this time!" Enke said, somewhat incoherently. He was so excited. "I don't know how to thank you enough."

For a journalist, reporting on major events is a pursuit that runs deep in my soul.

Gu Xin's intention in inviting him was quite clear: he was specifically giving him this reporting opportunity.

"No need for thanks, it's just a side thing," Gu Xin said earnestly. "But you must promise to use all your resources to make this news spread like wildfire throughout the world!"

"The bigger the reaction this matter generates, the more advantageous it is for me."

Enke was stunned for a moment, then he understood Guxin's purpose.

If I'm not mistaken, Guxin intends to take this opportunity to expand his fame and then take over the vacant position of Shichibukai!

Based on his understanding of the Navy and the World Government, Gushin is very likely to become the next Shichibukai. In other words, a future big shot is standing in front of him.

Enke quickly thumped his chest loudly and said with utmost seriousness, "Don't worry, I will do my best!"

"I'm sure my distant cousin would agree to do this."

Hearing Enke's assurance, Guxin nodded, completely relieved.

When Vivi and Icarus saw Crocodile's body, they couldn't help but feel a surge of joy at the relief of their suffering and gratitude towards Gushin!

Upon reflection, Gushin truly made numerous contributions to this country; it's no exaggeration to say he saved it.

He, Gushin, is the true hero of Alabasta!

Without Gu Xin, Vivi couldn't even imagine what the future would have been like.

After a brief conversation, the group headed to Baroque Works.

Baroque Works is located in the central area of ​​Rainland. It is an impressive building that is still brightly lit at night.

Seemingly eager to get the news out quickly, Enke was very proactive, kicking the closed door as soon as he stepped in.

boom!

The iron gate collapsed.

The roadrunner's well-developed leg muscles allowed him to easily kick open the tightly closed door.

The sudden loud noise also attracted the agents who remained inside the agency.

"You blind fool!"

"Do you even know where you are?! How dare you barge in here!"

A man with a thick, afro-like hairstyle and sunglasses walked out, yawning as if he was about to go to sleep.

The man's name is Jem, codenamed Mr. 5, and he is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the ability to make explosives.

"What an annoying bunch~ I'll crush your bones one by one." Above Jem's head, Michita, dressed in a lemon-colored dress, floated in the air, holding a yellow umbrella, and said in a sinister tone.

Michita, codenamed Miss Valentine, is Jem's partner.

Guxin glanced at it a few times, showing some interest in her fruit.
