Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Ms. All Sunday, you've betrayed us!"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience was once again shocked.

"How can it be?!"

"Quan Zhou Ri Mei doesn't seem like that kind of person!!"

"Didn't she always handle all sorts of things for our studio? Why would she... betray us?"

Crocodile gestured with his eyes, and the unlucky duo who followed him in distributed photos of the Straw Hat crew members to everyone. These were photos they had drawn on Whiskey Peak.

Crocodile spoke up as they looked at the photos.

"Ms. Quan was defeated by this group on Sunday and is now left on their ship."

"You should know, right? Our studio doesn't allow failure!"

When Crocodile said this, his voice was extremely low and cold, which made everyone present feel a chill and lingering fear.

To them, it sounded as if the words were being spoken to them.

Crocodile then continued.

"It was because of this incident that I had to personally intervene and handle what should have been Ms. Quan's work on Sunday."

"After these few days of preparation, everything is finally in place."

"That's why I've gathered you all here, to prepare for the official implementation of our Baroque Works' ultimate operational plan."

"Operation name: [Utopia]".

Upon hearing Crocodile's remarks, the executives were filled with doubt and asked questions.

"【Utopia】?"

"What kind of battle plan is this?"

Crocodile said calmly.

Let me tell you step by step!

"My true purpose is to uncover the full picture of Baroque Works' final operation."

Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively to Crocodile's speech.

"My purpose in establishing this association is not for money or status."

"It's not for the sake of...the military forces hidden within this country!"

Upon hearing this, all the cadres were taken aback, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

"military force..."

Then they heard Crocodile continue speaking.

"In this country, there is hidden intelligence about a weapon with the power to destroy the world."

"Ancient weapon, Hades!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"Destroy the world?!"

"Are there really such terrifying weapons?"

"Ancient weapon... Hades?"

Crocodile nodded and said.

"This weapon can destroy an island with a single shell."

"As long as I obtain intelligence about this weapon and master this power."

230 "Then you can conquer the whole world and become the Pirate King!"

Upon hearing Crocodile's description of Hades, everyone present was once again shocked.

"One...one shell...can destroy an island?!"

"Does this kind of horror really exist in this country?"

"So that's why you want to seize the whole country, right?!"

"I got goosebumps just listening to this."

"In other words, our mission this time... is to complete this massive plan!"

Crocodile's lips slowly curled up after hearing what everyone said, his eyes filled with ambition, and he spoke.

“That’s right! Since the founding of Baroque Works, everything you’ve carried out has been in preparation for this operation.”

"Next, I will tell you the orders you need to carry out regarding this operation."

After saying that, Crocodile began to assign detailed tasks to everyone.

"Mr. 4, Ms. Merry Christmas. Your mission is to infiltrate the palace and secretly kidnap King Cobra."

"Next is Mr. 2. After Mr. 4 and the others have completed their mission, use your abilities to become Cobra, impersonate the king, lead an army to wreak havoc in the city, and provoke the rebel army."

"Then there are Mr. 1 and Ms. 2. The reason why the rebels haven't launched an attack on the King's Army is because they lack weapons. So I've secretly bought a batch of weapons in the past few days. When the rebels are provoked, you two should deliver these weapons to them unintentionally."

"At that time, the rebels will launch a general offensive against the King's army, and the entire Alabasta will fall."

"In just one night, this country will become our utopia!"

"Guhahahaha..."

Crocodile burst into laughter, his eyes brimming with absolute confidence.

At this moment, Mr. 3 and Ms. Golden Week, who had not been assigned any tasks, were stunned. Mr. 3 asked a question.

"And what about us? What should we do?"

Crocodile stopped laughing upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. He looked at Mr. 3 and said...

"I received a report this morning from the Million Elders that someone spotted the Straw Hat Pirates on their way to Alabasta."

"Judging from the time, they will probably need another half a day to arrive in Alabasta."

"They had Vivi on their boat."

"We must not allow Vivi to meet with the rebel leader Kosa before the rebels launch a general offensive against the King's army."

“They know each other. If Vivi tells Kosa about us, this war could very well be stopped.”

"So... the task I'm giving you is... to lead all the billions and millions of elders who have come to Alabasta, and to stop them from meeting by any means necessary."

After assigning tasks to everyone, Crocodile's gaze swept over them, and he spoke seriously.

"This is Baroque Works' final and largest 'Utopia' operation plan!"

"Failure is not an option!"

"The operation is scheduled for 7:00 AM tomorrow!!"

"After you each complete your missions, you will all head to the capital, Albana, to prevent the Straw Hat crew from bringing Vivi to stop this war."

"Do you understand everything?"

Everyone responded at the same time upon hearing this.

"understand!"

Crocodile then smiled, his eyes filled with ambition and confidence.

I wish you success!

...

On the shimmering sea, the USS Merry slowly made its way toward Alabasta.

On the deck, Luffy is using his extraordinary comprehension to help Chopper master his shapeshifting ability.

At this stage, Chopper is not yet proficient in mastering his Devil Fruit, and his transformation and enhancement still require the assistance of Rumble Balls.

However, this Rambo Ball has side effects; the effect is limited and it can gradually make one's mind more violent. Overconsumption can also lead to loss of control.

That's why Luffy wanted to help Chopper master this ability to transform himself ahead of time.

Because he can transform into the corresponding form by eating Rumble Balls, Chopper has a certain understanding and familiarity with the waveform of that form's transformation.

With Luffy's extraordinary comprehension, it's not difficult to remember that waveform and reproduce it.

After a period of time aided by his extraordinary comprehension, a prompt appeared in Luffy's mind.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through the transmission of your understanding, your transmitter will enhance its mastery of its own abilities, enabling it to complete six stages of autonomous transformation, with an increased mastery of the seventh stage.]

Upon receiving the notification, Luffy and Chopper's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Chopper was extremely excited, looking at Luffy with starry eyes and exclaiming with delight.

"Luffy, the best in the world!"

"I can now transform into six normal forms without the help of a Rumble Ball!"

"Although the seventh stage cannot transform on its own yet, it needs to consume fewer Rumble Balls, so it will no longer go out of control."

"Sri Lanka No. 1! Sri Lanka No. 1..."

Chopper couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, and began to freely use his transformation ability on the deck, immersing himself in the joy of his improved abilities.

Luffy was also very satisfied with the result.

Chopper's seventh transformation is that giant form.

At this stage, he would normally need to consume three Rumble Balls, entering a berserk state and losing his self-awareness in order to achieve this.

Now, with his help, he can maintain his self-awareness for three minutes by eating just one Rumble Ball.

Luffy looked at the excited Chopper, smiled, and said.

"These are abilities you already possess; in reality, your combat strength hasn't truly improved yet."

"You also need to practice the [Ultimate Body Tempering Technique] and Overpowering Aura that I taught you properly."

"Once your basic abilities improve, the enhancements you gain after transforming will be even greater."

"And once you've improved to a certain level, you'll be able to complete the seventh transformation without the Rumble Ball."

Chopper was still immersed in the joy of freely transforming, and as he continued to experience it, he answered Luffy.

(ceeb)

"I see!"

"I will train hard, I want to become a sea monster like Luffy!"

Chopper's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Ever since Luffy redefined the meaning of "monster" for him, Chopper has dreamed of becoming a monster like Luffy.

Luffy smiled and let Chopper go off to practice on his own.

Just as he had a moment to himself, Weiwei walked over.

As she gets closer to the country, Vivi's desire to save it grows stronger.

So, with a mix of curiosity and worry, she asked Luffy.

"Luffy, we're almost at Alabasta now."

"Can you tell me about the plan you mentioned before?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy thought for a moment and realized it was about time.

So he summoned the person he had been with.

Once everyone had arrived, he began to explain the entire plan for saving Alabasta.

"There are three key points to saving Alabasta."

"The first point is to defeat Crocodile."

"The second point is to stop the war between the rebels and the royal army."

"The third point is to tell the whole nation the truth about Alabasta, namely that Crocodile is the culprit behind Alabasta."
