As soon as Pica finished speaking, Doflamingo couldn't help but laugh again.

"Fufufufufu..."

"You actually believe that kind of nonsense, Pica?"

"Who is that Hawkeye? Don't you know?"

"That guy is a man even I find troublesome, and he was defeated by a newcomer from the East China Sea?"

"Do not make jokes!"

"Fufufufufu..."

The other cadres also burst into laughter, making Pika extremely embarrassed.

...

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

A huge conference room.

The five elders sat together, watching the live broadcast from the front.

Bald, with a mustache and a birthmark on his forehead, Sacred Vochuli frowned and spoke in a deep voice as he listened to the slogans that kept ringing out in the video.

What are your thoughts on this?

With his long, straight white hair and beard, Mazsaeng spoke coldly.

"Crocodile is a pirate recognized by our world's government. Now he has aroused the anger of so many people, and the influence has spread all over the world. This is a disgrace to our world's government."

Satan, with his curly hair, frowned and said in a deep voice.

"That's right! Regardless of the outcome of this incident, we should consider replacing one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"I ask the bald swordsman, Nasujiro Sei."

"So how should we handle the current live broadcast footage? The negative impact caused by the crocodiles has already spread all over the world."

Piet Saint, with his blond hair, spoke resolutely.

"Contact the Navy currently in Alabasta as soon as possible before the live stream is seen by more people and have them stop the broadcast."

...

A small island in the New World.

The sky darkened, and swords clashed.

Shanks is engaged in an epic battle with Hawkeye.

At that moment, Ben Beckman suddenly broke into their fight and said...

"Boss, I have some news about Luffy."

Upon hearing this, Shanks and Hawkeye simultaneously stopped their attacks, both showing interest in their eyes.

"Oh?! What news?"

Shanks asked with a smile, then followed Beckman toward the island, with Hawkeye following behind.

...

IWC.

Inside a huge room.

[BigMom] Charlotte Linlin is eating dessert with gusto, making excited noises.

"Mommy mommy..."

At that moment, Perospero pushed open the door and entered, speaking as he did so.

"Mom, something interesting happened."

...

Meanwhile, on Onigashima Island in Wano Country, aboard the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, almost every well-known figure on the Grand Line was captivated by the live broadcast that Morgans was so enthusiastically promoting.

Everyone was paying close attention to the live stream.

...

Alabasta.

Rapeseed Flower Square.

As the crowd continued chanting "Down with the crocodile!", Crocodile in the first image gradually stopped laughing.

He looked at Kobra, who was sitting on the ground, looking remorseful and remorseful, and his contempt deepened.

Crocodile's lips suddenly curled up, a strange amusement in his eyes, and he slowly spoke.

"Let me tell you something else, Cobra!"

Upon hearing Crocodile claim that he had something else to tell him, Cobra looked up in confusion, gazing up at the arrogant Crocodile.

Then he saw Crocodile looking down at him with a smile and a playful expression, and said...

"Haven't you always wanted to stop this war?"

"I will help you fulfill this wish."

Upon hearing Crookdar's words, Kobra and all the Alabasta people watching the live broadcast looked puzzled.

Wasn't Crocodile the one who started this war?

Why should we help stop the war?

Then they heard Crocodile continue speaking.

"The square in Albana, which is the very center of the battle between the royal army and the rebels..."

"At 4:30 pm, which is ten minutes from now, we will be bombarded by powerful artillery shells."

"Those are specially made shells that can destroy everything within a five-kilometer radius!"

Upon hearing this, Kobra and all the citizens of Alabasta were taken aback.

The combined forces of the King's army and the rebels number in the millions. If the bomb were to explode, it would instantly wipe out millions of lives.

As everyone was shocked, Crocodile's smile grew wider and wider as he continued.

"At that time, this war will end amidst this grand barrage of artillery fire."

"This country...will also be reborn, welcoming its new masters!!"

"Guhahahaha..."

Crocodile spread his arms, threw his head back and laughed, enjoying the pleasure of having everything under his control and others being at his mercy.

This scene immediately caused a chorus of terrified screams to erupt in the square.

"That devil...is he going to kill all the rebels and the king's army?"

"A bomb with a radius of five kilometers?! If it really explodes, the rebel army and the royal army will be wiped out, and this country will be plunged into hell."

"No! My family is still with the rebels! This bomb must not explode!"

"Quick! We have to stop this explosion!"

"Quickly contact the people you know in Albana and tell them to stop the war and stop this explosion."

Someone in the crowd gave a reminder, and those who knew the rebels or the King's Army immediately took out their Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to make contact.

Smoker shook his head as he watched this scene and said...

"It's useless! With millions of people fighting and killing everywhere, who has time to pay attention to Den Den Mushi?"

"This country... is probably doomed!"

Just as Smoker was sighing.

"Puff puff puff..."

A Den Den Mushi sound suddenly came from Tashigi.

"Colonel Smoker, it's too noisy here. I'll go outside to the square."

Tashigi said something and then prepared to leave the square to go outside to answer the phone.

Smoker glanced at Tashigi, nodded, and then turned his gaze back to the video.

At this moment, Cobra in the scene suddenly stood up.

Crocodile was still laughing.

But he also noticed Cobra's actions, his gaze following him as he smiled.

"What's wrong, Cobra?"

"You're not thinking of running back now to stop the explosion, are you?!"

"It's too late, no one can stop it."

"Whether it's war or explosions, no one can stop it!"

"Guhahahaha..."

Crocodile laughed loudly, then suddenly saw Cobra running towards a secluded corner.

This made Crocodile suspicious.

The next second, he heard Cobra shout anxiously towards that corner.

"Straw Hat!"

"Hurry up and contact Straw Hat Boy!"

"Tell him to stop the explosion quickly!"

"Did you hear that, Straw Hat Boy's companion!"

"Hurry...get him to stop the explosion!!!"

"..."

As Cobra shouted, Crocodile's world suddenly fell silent.

His mouth was open, maintaining a smiling expression, but he couldn't make a sound.

He stared blankly in Cobra's direction, his eyes filled with confusion.

Then, he composed himself and slowly walked over.

He pulled Cobra aside from his path and saw a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up insect) with its body covered except for its two eyes, staring into his eyes.

For a moment, Crocodile seemed to be frozen in place, stunned.

And at the same time.

In the square filled with rapeseed flowers.

The crowd fell silent, everyone staring blankly at the man on the screen, who was equally stunned.

He kept replaying Cobra's words in his mind.

"Your Majesty... what were you just saying? Straw Hat Boy?!"

"Why would His Majesty the King tell the Straw Hat Boy to stop the explosion?"

"Was this live stream a joint effort between His Majesty the King and the Straw Hat Boy? Are they teaming up to fight the crocodile?"

"The crocodile seems unaware that it's being live-streamed!"

While the crowd was buzzing with discussion, Nojiko, upon hearing Cobra's words, quickly took out a Den Den Mushi and contacted Luffy.

...

Dressrosa!

Doflamingo, seeing Crocodile stunned on the screen, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Fufufufu..."

"Looks like he's been tricked!"

"This is truly a rare sight!"
