Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Bartolomeo was somewhat bewildered at this moment, having become extremely excited after arriving at the Baroque headquarters.

He became even more excited after seeing Crocodile!

This was a formidable pirate whom they could never have imagined before. The name of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Fei Lu, was indeed renowned.

No matter how much they're criticized as government lackeys, one thing is certain: they are powerful, absolutely powerful!

At least in the first half of the Grand Line, he is an existence that no one dares to provoke, except for that scoundrel Buggy, of course.

But now, he has actually been defeated by Luo Feng and has become his subordinate!

Now, as their first mate, working alongside these 'little guys' in the same team, it's simply a dream come true, which makes him admire Luo Feng even more!

Zoro, standing to the side, also looked solemn. Having been at sea for many years, he had always been known as a bounty hunter, and as a fellow traveler, he had naturally heard of Baroque.

I never expected that the mastermind behind this mysterious assassin organization would be such a person!

Before arriving here, the two had already learned a little about their fellow passengers whom they had never met before, but seeing them in person still felt somewhat unbelievable.

Nami and Nochiko, however, didn't react much. After all, they knew less about the situation and couldn't feel the difference. They were currently giggling as they looked at the headlines of the shocking news published by the department.

Bartolomeo's fiery gaze left Crocodile somewhat speechless. He turned around and looked at the unconventional green-haired thug with a strange expression. He was also puzzled as to what kind of oddballs Luo Feng had brought back from his trip.

The two green-haired guys weren't very strong, and the two girls were basically powerless as well. But the girls were understandable; the two green-haired guys were just a bit baffling...

That's why he didn't know what Bartolomeo was thinking, otherwise he would probably be speechless on the spot and would want to give him a Sandstorm to kill this green-haired bastard!

"Hey kid, the captain's talking to you. What are you staring at me for?"

Crocodile couldn't help but speak up, feeling a chill run down his spine from those bull-like eyes.

"Ah... I'm so sorry, Senior Luo Feng, I'll release it right away!"

Bartolomeo snapped out of his daze and put down the large wooden stake he was carrying on his back.

Then, in front of everyone, the wooden stake was opened, revealing the gruesome golden lion...

"Oh my god, it really is him!"

Looking at the legendary great pirate in front of him, Law was completely shocked. He even felt a little horrified and that it was unreal!

People of this caliber are now lying at their feet like dead dogs—it's unthinkable!

Crocodile, standing nearby, was in no better shape, his scalp tingling with shock!

Of all those present, he was the only one who had ever felt the terror of such a person. After all, he had overestimated himself and challenged Whitebeard, who was of the same level, and was instantly killed. He had been in a slump for many years and had only recently recovered.

Now, Luo Feng has actually brought the Golden Lion back, and in such a half-dead state that he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

They weren't unaware of Luo Feng's strength; on the contrary, they had truly experienced his abnormally powerful abilities.

Moreover, the two believed that with Luo Feng's talent, reaching the top was inevitable; it was just a matter of time.

Even so, it was still hard for the two of them to accept that he had killed a great figure of the same level as the Four Emperors after only a year and a half of training!

"Guhaha... You're getting more and more terrifying, Captain."

Crocodile chuckled a few times and asked, "This guy shouldn't be dead yet, right? If someone like Shiki wakes up, he'll cause quite a commotion. Why doesn't the captain just kill him?"

"You're overthinking it, crocodile."

Before Luo Feng could speak, Luo said directly, "The captain's hand... was too heavy!"

“His current condition is such that I’m not even sure I can cure him. His injuries are much more serious than yours. He’s basically on the verge of death.”

As a doctor, Luo naturally saw things more clearly than others; Jin Shizi's condition was basically one foot in the grave.

If Luo Feng had returned any later and hadn't received proper treatment, there was a high chance he would have died on the way!

Upon hearing Luo's analysis, Luo Feng was also secretly surprised, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he hadn't continued wandering around, or he would have almost ruined everything!

This is where the importance of a ship's doctor becomes apparent.

Next, under Luo Feng's instructions, Luo performed some healing techniques on the Golden Lion.

Of course, it wasn't to save him, but to keep him alive for a few more days.

After Luo finished his operation, Luo Feng said, "Let's go to the royal family and see Cobra."

"Weiwei, we need to use your family's altar this time."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Luofeng, my father will definitely be willing to cooperate with your request."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile and Law exchanged a glance and both gasped. Only now did they understand why Luo Feng hadn't simply killed the Golden Lion, but instead chose to bring him back!

This is a move to strip the Golden Lion Fruit of its power!

"There's no time to lose. Even though we've extended his life, it's best not to delay. Let's prepare to set off for Arubana!"

As soon as Luo Feng gave the order, everyone began to respond, their eyes filled with a certain fervor!

Not only the veteran crew members like Luo, but also the new recruits were greatly intrigued!

They were all aware of this matter and knew very well what it would mean for their team if the Devil Fruit extraction experiment were successful!

The improvement in strength can hardly be described as a leap forward; it should be called a wild growth! An unreasonable increase in strength!

Not only men like Crocodile who crave power, but also girls like Nami are all very excited at this moment!

After all, they were a group of girls who hadn't seen much of the world. How could they not yearn for such a strange and powerful ability?

The most composed person present, besides Luo Feng, was Zoro. He was really not interested in this kind of thing; only a sword could arouse his interest!

"Crocodile, what's gotten into you?" Just then, Luo Feng suddenly spoke, looking at Crocodile with a strange expression, and continued, "Don't tell me you want to come along too..."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile was taken aback at first, then his expression showed a rare hint of embarrassment. He naturally knew what Luo Feng was referring to... 8.

Chapter 100: The Defeat of the Golden Lion Leads to Old Sand's Psychological Transformation

They once plotted such a huge conspiracy in this country, and now, although they have reconciled and the royal princesses have become their allies.

However, it's best for both parties to avoid meeting to prevent unnecessary awkwardness.

“I’m fine, Mr. Luo Feng…”

At this moment, Vivi, who was directly involved, was the first to react and said understandingly, "Although that kind of thing happened, it's all in the past now, and Mr. Crocodile didn't cause us any real harm."

"Let bygones be bygones. I believe Father and the others will understand."

Obviously, it's unlikely that there's absolutely no resentment between them. It hasn't been long, and it's inevitable that their relationship will be completely repaired in the future, especially with Luo Feng involved.

But in such a short time, it's impossible to completely let it go. Weiwei's statement at this time is just to avoid putting Luo Feng in a difficult position!

Moreover, now that "987" has become a group of people, they'll be on the same boat in the future, seeing each other every day. Are they really going to keep grumbling like this? How can they be partners then?

Weiwei naturally understood this principle. She had always been very sensible in the face of the big picture, a fact that had been demonstrated long ago.

When she was just a few years old, she accompanied Cobra to the World Conference and was bullied by King Wapol of the Iron Bucket Kingdom. Vivi generously forgave him to avoid conflict between the two countries. It wasn't until she was in front of her own people that she cried and felt wronged.

This level of vision is something that most people can't match!

Hearing Vivi say that, Crocodile became even more embarrassed and fell into self-doubt. "Damn it, am I really not as good as a little girl?"

"Ahem... Well then, I'll find a suitable time later and have the captain take me to apologize to your father."

"No matter what, Guhaha... I did something bad for your kingdom."

Crocodile chuckled dryly and said, "The captain is right, let's just let it go for now!"

These words were completely out of character for Crocodile, and even Luo Feng looked at him in surprise.

Is this still the same Crocodile? Would he say something like that? Apologize to a little girl?

In fact, after Luo Feng returned with such explosive news, Crocodile completely understood and considered himself a member of this group!

As he originally said, if Luo Feng could help him take Whitebeard's head, he would join this ship and become Luo Feng's first mate.

But that's just a way for him to save face!

After all, he had been in a position of power for so long, and now he was going to be subordinate to a kid who was not even twenty years old. Even if the kid was ridiculously powerful, it would still be hard for him to get over that hurdle.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the thought of testing Luo Feng after his hidden injuries were healed and his domineering aura was restored. However, seeing Luo Feng's calm reaction, he stopped himself in time and didn't dare to make any rash moves.

Ultimately, they haven't truly committed themselves!

And now? Luo Feng has actually retrieved the head of a big shot on par with Whitebeard!

This was something Crocodile hadn't expected at all; in the face of absolute power, age is completely negligible!

With such terrifying strength and potential for growth, Luo Feng has already become this powerful. What's there to be confused about?

Crocodile was a pure profit-seeker, and he figured out this logic almost immediately!

Rather than waiting until then, it's better to build relationships early and integrate into this group; it will surely bring many benefits in the future!

Because he had already seen it. The two famous swords hanging at Zoro's waist might not be familiar to others, but he knew them very well. They were the two swords of Shiki the Golden Lion!

In the previous era, how many people were terrified by its name?

And now, it has appeared in the hands of such a weak swordsman, and two of them at the same time!

Anyone with a brain knows it was Luo Feng who gave it to him!

What does this mean? As long as you can consistently align yourself with Luo Feng, not only will you be able to take revenge, but you'll also have a high chance of achieving things you've always wanted but couldn't have in the past!

Therefore, Crocodile changed his previous cold attitude of only treating Luo Feng normally and ignoring everyone else. He took the initiative to integrate into the team, which led to the scene where he took the initiative to apologize to the little girl Vivi!

As a transmigrator, Luo Feng naturally had a much broader perspective. Looking at Crocodile's drastically changed personality, he pondered for a moment and figured out the reason behind it.

Then he smiled and didn't say anything more. It would be best if Crocodile could figure things out on his own and return to the fold ahead of schedule.

Among the core members of his ship, Robin and the other four women, needless to say, are all of the same mind as him, so Bartolomeo was not surprised.

As for Law, given his personality, as long as Luo Feng keeps his promise and helps him defeat Doflamingo, he will naturally abide by the agreement and will not break it..

The fact that Law maintained his alliance with Luffy and his crew all the way to the end without ever betraying them, and even took on the role of the one who worked the hardest and was the most responsible, shows that Law is definitely the kind of person who strictly adheres to his promises!

The remaining two, Zoro and Crocodile, one the most difficult to subdue and the other the most unstable element, are now 100% loyal to the team, which is definitely the best change for the team!

Since we haven't gone to sea yet, it's normal for everyone to have their own thoughts. But once we go to sea, the team must be absolutely united, otherwise there will always be hidden dangers!

This is something that all pirate crews sailing the seas fear most.

Now, Luo Feng's team has completely wiped them out, so there's no need to worry about the future; the prospects are bright!

Upon hearing these words, Weiwei was clearly taken aback.

After all, Crocodile has been in this country for many years and has always been regarded by them as an inhuman and violent crocodile. It would have been absolutely impossible for him to apologize in the past!
