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

"Someone actually tricked the crocodile? Was it Straw Hat Boy?"

"Fufufufufu..."

After laughing for a while, Doflamingo suddenly stopped laughing, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled with great interest in his eyes.

"Things are getting interesting!"

...

Navy Headquarters.

Inside a house.

Sengoku and other high-ranking naval officers were seated among them.

Everyone stared at a video playing in front of them.

In the scene, Crocodile stares at the camera, his eyes unblinking, his emotions extremely complex, as if the world has suddenly collapsed, leaving him unable to react for a moment, simply standing there like a statue.

Seeing this scene, Kizaru couldn't help but pout and say something with a lewd expression.

"Poor crocodile! It looks like it suddenly came home to find its whole family dead..."

Upon hearing Kizaru's description, everyone present cast meaningful glances at him.

Kizaru also gleaned some meaning from the way everyone looked at him.

Warring States Period: If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!

Garp: Well said, hehe! Continue!

Aokiji: It does look quite similar.

Akainu: You talk too much!

...

Burial Hall!

Crocodile stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi.

For a moment, my brain seemed to lose its ability to think, and I didn't know how to react.

Three years!

He had been planning this moment for three whole years.

Starting with the initial dancing fan incident, and then gradually using sandstorms to sweep through the city, the people gradually lost patience with the king.

And this final plan, which completely triggered the war.

After three years of secret planning, his goal was finally about to be achieved.

The message from Hades was quickly deciphered, and the nation's conquest was imminent.

But the result...

A video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) appeared.

The sudden appearance of this little snail struck Crocodile like a thunderbolt, leaving him feeling as if his soul had been ripped away, standing there like a walking corpse.

He knew perfectly well that what he had just said had been recorded and played out.

247 There are probably countless people in front of the camera right now watching him stand here looking silly and dazed.

His three-year plan collapsed at this moment.

Crocodile's lips twitched suddenly.

"Gu..."

"Guha..."

"Guhahahaha..."

Crocodile suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, acting as if he had gone mad.

This scene terrified everyone in the rapeseed flower square, and countless viewers around the world watching the live broadcast were also frightened by Crocodile's laughter and appearance.

At this moment, Crocodile looks like the calm before the storm, as if he will turn into a terrifying demon in the next second.

And just like everyone else feels.

Crocodile, who was laughing maniacally, suddenly stopped laughing, turned his head sharply, and looked at Cobra beside him.

In an instant, Cobra and countless viewers around the world were shaken, their eyes filled with boundless terror and fear.

Crocodile's face was contorted in a ferocious expression. His brows were furrowed so deeply they seemed to be squeezed together. The cigar in his mouth snapped in two with a "crack," and his teeth chattered as he chewed. The muscles on his face twitched incessantly, and the rage in his eyes seemed to want to tear people apart. He exuded an aura that inspired fear and dread.

Then, everyone saw Crocodile maintain this posture, staring straight at Cobra, and speaking in an extremely deep voice, word by word.

"Who...did this?"

"Is it you... or Straw Hat Boy?"

Crocodile's voice was so deep it was almost suffocating, and his gaze at Cobra was so intense it could kill, making people afraid to meet his eyes.

Faced with Crocodile's questioning, Cobra's eyes showed fear, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

"it's me!"

Crocodile saw through Cobra's lie at a glance, curled his lip, snorted coldly, and said in a low voice.

"Hmph! Boring!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a sharp sand blade shot out from his hand, slicing a horrifying wound across Kobra's chest.

"what..."

Blood spurted out, and Cobra screamed in agony before collapsing to the ground.

Crocodile didn't even blink before shifting his gaze to the Den Den Mushi, looking at the camera and speaking in a deep voice, word by word.

"Straw Hat Boy, you...you've really angered me!"

"hurry up!"

"come here quickly!"

"I can't hold back anymore... I'm about to explode!!!"

When Crocodile uttered his last words, it was like a beast's growl, extremely chilling.

This scene sent chills down the spines of everyone watching.

At the same moment, Luffy held a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) to contact Nojiko, and Crocodile's voice also reached his ears through the Den Den Mushi.

Hearing Crocodile's angry voice, Luffy's eyes also burned with rage.

The seeds of their battle were sown back in Whiskey Hill.

As Luffy was thinking this, Vivi suddenly cried out excitedly.

"arrive!".

Chapter 78 The Straw Hat Crew vs. the Seven Warlords of the Sea: The Straw Hat Crew Shocks the World

Burial Hall!

After Crocodile delivered his provocative declaration to Luffy in front of the camera, he stopped paying attention to the live stream.

Now that things have come to this, his actions have been exposed, and it is certain that he cannot take over this country.

For now, he focused his attention solely on Hades.

That was his most important objective this time.

As long as he possesses Hades, he will still hold absolute power, and then he can start developing in other countries.

As for the Den Den Mushi in front of him, he would keep it.

He was going to brutally crush the Straw Hat Boy who had ruined his plans in front of everyone watching the live stream.

Only then can his anger be quelled.

Bringing his thoughts back, Crocodile turned to look at Robin.

While Robin was talking to Cobra, he went alone to the room where the Poneglyphs were kept.

However, that room is not within the recording range of the Den Den Mushi.

This was something Luffy specifically reminded Uta to never record the Poneglyphs on screen, otherwise the country would never have peace.

Crocodile then entered the room, and his figure completely disappeared from the live stream.

...

Rapeseed Flower Square.

When people saw Crocodile slash Cobra with a sand blade and bring him to the ground, everyone was filled with worry and anger.

Looking at the figure lying there in the picture, everyone couldn't help but feel sad and sigh.

"That demon... did to His Majesty the King..."

"Is His Majesty alright? We must find someone to rescue him quickly!"

"Who can save His Majesty the King now? The royal army and the rebels are locked in fierce combat, and there are devastating bombs in the square. I think this country... is doomed!!!"

"Don't let this happen...someone, please stop the war, stop the explosions, and save the King!"

Just as people were lamenting their despair, someone in the square suddenly exclaimed.

"Straw Hat Boy! Didn't His Majesty the King say that Straw Hat Boy should stop the explosion? Now, he's probably the only one who can save this country."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the square.

"Where is the Straw Hat Boy? Please come out and save this country!"

"Straw Hat Boy, show yourself now!"

Someone even shouted something to Noki below the screen.

"Hey! You're Straw Hat Luffy's buddy, right? Contact him quickly and ask him to save this country!"

"Yeah! Please contact Straw Hat Boy right away! Please!"

Looking at so many people asking Luffy for help, Nojiko couldn't help but think of the time when Luffy led his villagers to save Cocoyasi Village.

She understood the feelings of these people very well, and raised a Den Den Mushi in her hand, speaking loudly.

"My captain is right across from this Den Den Mushi. Just tell him what you need to say!"

Upon hearing Nojiko's words, deafening cries for help erupted throughout the entire plaza.

Everyone was shouting the same message.

"Straw Hat Boy, save this country!"

This scene deeply moved Smoker, who couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Straw Hat Boy, it seems you have replaced the crocodile as the hero in the hearts of the people of this country."

Meanwhile, Luffy held a Den Den Mushi in his hand, and a deafening cry for help echoed in his and Vivi's ears.

"This way!"

Vivi shouted excitedly and led Luffy through the royal tomb.

The thousands of cries for help stirred their emotions.

...

Holy Land Marie Gioia!

As the five elders watched the screen and listened to the cries for help from tens of thousands of citizens, they couldn't help but frown.

Vochuli Saint slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared.

"That damn crocodile has really made our world government lose face this time."

Saint Pittor looked angry and said in a deep voice.

"Most importantly, this will cause people to lose trust in our world government!"

Nasujiro Sei frowned and asked.
