Pirates Never Work Overtime

Outside the royal capital, Albana.

Looking at Albana, which is still prosperous, there is no hint that war is about to happen.

Mers shook his head. What an incompetent king! Even at this time, he didn't realize that the rebels were about to attack the city.

"Smorg, I forgot to ask before, have you dealt with the Straw Hat guys?"

"There aren't any of those guys. We don't have time to deal with them now. The most important thing is to stop the plan of that talented guy in Crocodile."

"I know, in that case, let's go directly to the palace! That guy should be in the palace now doing the final touches on his plan!"

When they looked at each other, one turned into a cloud of smoke, and the other turned into pieces of cherry blossoms, quickly drifting towards the palace.

In the palace, Crocodile was smoking a cigar and sitting on the throne.

Kobra stood down in embarrassment. Beside him, Bell was bleeding all over his body and fell to his knees in a pool of blood.

Kobra glared at Crocodile above:

"If you do this, aren't you afraid that the government will revoke your Shichibukai status, Crocodile?"

"Hahaha! The World Government, the Shichibukai, after I get what I want, these identities will be useless. Cobra, why didn't you agree to my plan from the beginning and cooperate with me? Otherwise

As for the situation getting to this point, I must have told you a long time ago! I have never had any interest in this country, but why don’t you believe it!"

Crocodile's voice was a little mocking and even more angry.

"Oh! Can you tell us about your plan? Mr. Shichibukai Crocodile."

Before Kobra could answer, the voice of that damn fat man Narr came over first.

He frowned slightly and looked at Nar at the entrance of the palace, as well as Morse and Smog behind him.

"Well! It's you troublesome guys again. Now that we're all here, let's deal with it together! It saves me the trouble of finding the Desert Sword one by one later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving Gnar and the others a chance to react, he swung the golden hook of his left hand downwards, and a crack filled with purple thunder and lightning kept spewing out sand and dust and headed straight towards them.

Nal shouted exaggeratedly: "Brother, this guy is going to marry you."

After saying that, his figure quickly swayed, rushed to Cobra's side, grabbed Cobra and ran away.

"Brother Smoker, leave this guy to me. I've been getting beaten up recently, and I just want to find someone to vent to. I'd like to ask you to take that guy on the ground away with you first!"

As Mers spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and pieces of cherry blossoms perfectly covered the cracks in the ground, preventing Jaka from being killed by the cracks.

"Crescent Dune!"

When Crocodile saw Gnar and Smog rescuing people, he didn't stop them. He just waved his hands, and two half-moon-shaped sand blades quickly slashed at the two people, without caring about the result.

His attention was now fully focused on Morse, and he sensed a sense of danger in Morse that he had not experienced in many years.

Seeing that Morse stood there with no intention of rushing over, Crocodile raised his hands upward, and a piece of dust suddenly appeared in front of Morse, completely blocking Morse's sight.

Taking this opportunity, Crocodile moved, quickly transformed into sand in mid-air, and blended perfectly into the sand. The next moment, he appeared behind Mers, with a cruel smile on his lips, and fiercely waved his left hand with scorpion venom.

hook.

"Bury me here! You little brat from the navy, remember not to meddle in other people's affairs in your next life."

The hook passed through Mers' body very easily. Crocodile's pupils shrank and he quickly disappeared in a panic.

But it's still a step too late.

boom!

The semi-transformed body returned to human form again. The transformation failed, and the whole body slammed onto the throne, splashing dust all over the sky.

"Ahem! You really can't pry!"

Crocodile sensed something was wrong the moment he crossed Meres' body. It was too easy to succeed, so he hurriedly let his body turn into sand. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late.

"You Shichibukai are so arrogant! Iai One Line Sky"

After mocking the Sand Crocodile, Mers didn't stop at all.

Goodbye Senbonzakura, covered with domineering energy, flashed a dark light in the air, and appeared behind Crocodile instantly in conjunction with the 'Flash Flower'.

Just when he was about to show off his sword and put it into its sheath, he felt a sand blade rapidly slashing at him from behind. He immediately stopped sheathing the sword and struck it with a cherry blossom-colored slash with his backhand.

"Is it desertification again? Natural fruits are really rogue." Looking at the sand on the ground behind him, Mers murmured in a low voice.

After a brief confrontation, the two exchanged positions and looked at each other. The initial contempt was no longer in Crocodile's eyes.

"Shalan!"

Only then did he realize that the navy on the opposite side might become the biggest obstacle to his plan. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, he decided to bury the opponent here at all costs.

A small sandstorm slowly gathered in his right hand, and the golden hook in his left hand continued to swing half-moon-shaped sand blades at Mers above.

Suddenly, he felt that Mers couldn't dodge and was hit by a small sand blade. He waved his right hand violently and rolled away the sandstorm in his hand.

"Looking at the scenery? Senbonzakura scenery Yan"

Just as he threw the sandstorm in his hand, Morse's annoying voice came to his ears.

Pieces of cherry blossoms slowly fell behind Crocodile, forming Morse's body.

When Crocodile was about to turn around, he found that he was tightly wrapped in a group of cherry blossoms. Before he could react, thousands of cherry blossom blades quickly slashed across his body.

After continuously melting into the sand many times, I escaped from the giant ball formed by the cherry blossoms.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Looking at the bloody wounds on his body, Crocodile panted heavily. The constant desertification consumed a lot of his energy. He looked at Morse in disbelief.

"How could you possibly hurt me?"

There was something strange about these cherry blossoms. He looked at the surrounding cherry blossoms warily. Crocodile was a little afraid to do anything easily for a while.

"Flowers that have not dried up are full of water." Mers' words explained Crocodile's doubts.

This guy was really difficult to deal with. Crocodile suddenly realized that there seemed to be no way to quickly deal with Morse.

With a flash of inspiration, his right hand quickly formed a desert sword, and he threw it towards Mers. At the same time, he quickly inserted his hands into the ground.

"The cycle of erosion"

Suddenly, the entire palace seemed to have been sucked dry of water, quickly dried up and cracked, collapsed suddenly and became a ruin, while splashing dust all over the sky.

Just as Mers dodged the huge desert sword, he found that the entire palace suddenly collapsed.

"Ahem!"

Slowly waving away the dust in front of his eyes, he found that Crocodile's figure had disappeared, just when he was about to catch up.

"The destructive power is really astonishing! You guys have destroyed this beautiful palace into ruins. Let me tell you, Kobra, our world government will not compensate for this loss. If you want compensation, go to the navy.

"Nar came over from nowhere with Kobra, and started to hurt Morse with his mouth.

Mers was a little embarrassed for a moment and just scratched his head.

I just let Crocodile run away due to carelessness, but I didn't expect that guy to destroy Kobra's palace before leaving.

Cobra quickly shook his head: "It doesn't matter. As long as we can drive Crocodile out of Alabasta and restore my country to its previous peace, this loss is really nothing. I would also like to thank the two of you who saved me and me.

The guard is alive! It’s a pity that the palace was destroyed and we really can’t entertain you two properly.”

"Where's Smoker! Aren't you with me?" Meres looked around and found that Smoker was no longer there.

"No, when you just started, he ran outside and didn't know what he was doing. Did you think he had discovered some treasure and was going to devour it all by himself? King Kobra, don't you think so?"

If Naru pointed out something, he looked at Kobra with a smile on his face, wanting to wait for the other party to give a reasonable explanation.

Only now did he realize that Crocodile had not done such a big trick just for the so-called stealing of Alabasta's political power.

Cobra immediately hesitated, lowering his head and not daring to meet Nall's eyes. He had already vaguely guessed what Crocodile's purpose was.

But this matter must not be told to Nar, he is worried that it will cause greater trouble.

Fortunately, Mers came to the rescue for him at this time.

"Let's go, prepare to defend the next attack of the rebels first! And that guy Crocodile will not suffer this boring loss. The matter is far from over yet! Nar."
