Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

"Speaking of which, when I first had my surgery, you seemed to say that you would tell me some good news once I recovered? Now you can tell me, right?"

"of course."

Luo Feng nodded. He had come today specifically to wait for Crocodile to be cured and for everyone to be present, just to announce this matter.

This is the first major event in his plan, which he couldn't carry out before due to insufficient strength and manpower.

Now, it's time to really start preparing!

"Crocodile, do you know someone named Fire Fist Ace?"

As he spoke, Luo Feng tossed out a bounty poster.

'Portgas D. Ace!'

Nickname: Fire Fist Ace!

'Captain of the Spade Pirates!'

'A Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Flame-Flame Fruit ability!'

'Bounty: 550 million Berries!'

Chapter Twenty-Seven: After the initial hype, the real promises begin!

The group was stunned when they saw the bounty poster that Luo Feng had taken out.

"I know him."

Luo frowned slightly and said, "Two years ago, he was a super rookie who caused a great stir as soon as he appeared. At that time, he was considered a big shot on the sea."

"Even the World Government considered it, because there was always one vacancy among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The World Government once tried to recruit him and give him the title of Warlord of the Sea, but... he refused."

"It seems that not long ago, this person challenged one of the Four Emperors, causing quite a stir."

As a pirate who spends his days at sea, Law understands these things very well.

"Another brat. A bounty of over 500 million, that's really intimidating, hahaha..."

Looking at the bounty poster, Crocodile curled his lip, seemingly unconcerned.

He's even challenged a Yonko with a bounty of 5 billion, so a brat with a bounty of 500 million isn't really a big deal to him. Bounties are such a dubious thing.

The only people he cared about were those few emperors of the sea.

“You’re right, Luo, he is indeed challenging the emperors of the old era.”

Luo Feng looked at Crocodile and said, "But Crocodile, he's challenging the one you've been keeping an eye on."

"Of course, like you, he failed and was impressed by Whitebeard."

"Moreover, Whitebeard admired him greatly and took him in as his son. With his strength, he should be a captain in the Whitebeard Pirates now."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile sneered and said disdainfully, "Just a spineless brat. Why are you talking to me about him?"

"His true identity is the only son of the former Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!"

Luo Feng, true to form, revealed Ace's identity without hesitation.

Everyone was shocked this time. The implications were too great. The son of the former Pirate King was a terrifying and extremely sensitive identity!

If this gets out, the whole world will be thrown into turmoil!

Not only the Navy and the World Government, but also the other four Emperors who are also pirates, as well as some great pirates in the shadows, are very likely to take action.

"Such a high-ranking identity is probably unknown to most people, otherwise the seas wouldn't be so calm!"

Crocodile could no longer remain calm. He stared intently at Luo Feng and asked, "Are you sure you're right? This kind of thing..."

Seeing Crocodile, who is usually calm, now so emotionally volatile is quite surprising.

Luo Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course, when have I ever lied about something, especially something with such a big impact?"

At the scene, there was a party involved, Luo...

Having just been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Luo Feng and tricked into believing him not long ago, this is the greatest persuasive power!

Furthermore, Crocodile had already accepted that Luo Feng was an oddball.

You can know what's going on in the world just by sitting at home!

This phrase perfectly describes Luo Feng.

"What do you want to do?" Crocodile asked directly, now that he believed her.

Luo Feng's sudden mention of someone with such an astonishingly high status couldn't have been without reason.

"If I can find out his identity, then his father, Whitebeard, will find out sooner or later too."

"You know perfectly well who Whitebeard is, Crocodile."

"If the Navy finds out his true identity and captures him, do you think Whitebeard will go to war with the Navy?"

Luo Feng's words carried a hint of conspiracy.

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's body trembled, his expression shifting from shock to madness, and then to fanaticism...

Luo Feng's words were highly suggestive, but they were all to the point, and Crocodile naturally understood them.

He was excited; as an ambitious man, this sudden, explosive news made it impossible for him to remain calm.

If the Navy and the World Government knew Ace's true identity, they wouldn't sit idly by and would definitely try every means to capture him.

And who was Whitebeard? He knew it all too well.

Whitebeard valued his so-called sons very much, and given Ace's special status, if he were to be captured and executed by the Navy, it could very well lead to a world-shaking war!

All things considered, this war is almost impossible to avoid!

The Navy is no pushover either. If a major battle breaks out, it will be much easier for them to take down Whitebeard's head!

The more Crocodile thought about it, the more excited he became; this was something he had always longed for.

The gloom in his heart seemed to be completely dispelled, and the breath he had been holding in for many years was finally exhaled at this moment...

Just then, Crocodile's fist, which he had been clenching tightly due to excitement, suddenly changed, becoming as black as iron and filled with boundless power!

In the next instant, this phenomenon also appeared on his other limbs, with all the taut muscles covered in a layer of black iron substance, which looked extremely exaggerated.

Armament Haki!

It was Armament Haki! Upon hearing this shocking news, Crocodile's long-suppressed feelings vanished completely.

Upon learning of the opportunity to kill Whitebeard, he was extremely excited, his spirits were completely restored, and all his hidden injuries were healed. Naturally, his Armament Haki, which had disappeared for many years, was also restored!

"Hahaha... Luo Feng, this isn't good news at all! You've given me a real gift!"

Crocodile laughed heartily, his fighting power completely restored to its peak!

No, not the peak, but even more than the peak. After all, all that weight training over such a long time was not for nothing!

To say that Crocodile was cured by Law before is at most an assessment that Crocodile's body has recovered, but the things that were suppressed are still there, and his true fighting power cannot be shown yet.

But now, even his domineering aura has reappeared, which proves that everything that should belong to him has returned!

Seeing Crocodile laughing almost maniacally, Luo Feng was taken aback at first, and then he laughed too.

He never imagined that these words could restore Crocodile's Haki and allow him to fully recover his peak strength.

This is just one step in the plan. The reason for bringing it up now is twofold: firstly, it's time; secondly, it's to get Crocodile to focus and understand that some things can only be accomplished by following him, Luo Feng.

This should be considered a pleasant surprise!

"Congratulations, Crocodile. It seems our team's strength is about to be elevated to another level."

Luo Feng said that they could come back a few more times for this unexpected event.

After all, Crocodile challenged Whitebeard at his peak!

Even though he failed, one can still imagine how strong he was at the time.

Anyone who dares to challenge the world's strongest man is either truly powerful or a complete idiot.

Clearly, Crocodile belongs to the former category.

Now that he has fully recovered to his peak, his true strength is at least comparable to Doflamingo's!

No wonder he kept yelling at Law that as long as he was healed, he could kill Doflamingo.

The key point is that this guy's specialty is going 50/50!

Once you get back to your peak, wouldn't you just let loose and be yourself?

They probably wouldn't back down even when facing a general!

It seems the nickname "50/50" is about to be firmly established...

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Awakening Conqueror's Haki!

Seeing Crocodile regain his Armament Haki, Robin and Law, who were standing to the side, were also somewhat unsettled.

Robin has followed Crocodile for so many years; how could she not understand his true strength? Now, not only are his internal injuries healed, but even his Haki...

The more Robin thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. How could a single sentence have such an effect!

Thinking this, Robin turned to look at Luo Feng beside her and saw that he remained calm, showing no unease even when facing Crocodile at his peak.

This put her completely at ease; she had to admit, he was incredibly reliable!

For Luo, what Luo Feng dropped was undoubtedly a bombshell!

The thought of soon facing off against the Navy, the World Government, and even the Four Emperors—top powers on the high seas—was overwhelming.

In his previous opinion, this was absolutely insane, a decision to rush to one's death!

But at that very moment, Crocodile also returned to his peak condition!

Luo Ke treated him personally for a whole day, using all her strength. Although she couldn't fully understand him, she had a general idea of ​​what level he was at.

As a doctor, he felt that the possibility of Crocodile directly returning to his peak was zero, which was a psychological issue.

Even getting rid of psychological repression is very difficult. In his view, there is only one way, which is to cultivate domineering aura again!

After all, too much time has passed, and it's not so easy to recover.

But now, Luo Feng's words have directly restored Crocodile to his peak condition!

That's unbelievable!
