Pirate Hero Advent

When Crocodile saw the man named Lynn Barek in the newspaper for the first time, he gave such an evaluation in his heart——

madman.

A lunatic who declares war on the Celestial Dragons all by himself.

And now, after he and Lynn Barek actually played against each other, Crocodile gave a second evaluation——

monster.

A monster that evolves in battle.

For an ordinary person, the outcome of a battle is nothing more than victory or defeat.

If you win, it means that you are superior; if you lose, it means that your strength is not enough, and there will be no third kind.

However, the man named Lynn Barek seemed to blur the boundary between victory and defeat.

After the first fight, Crocodile discovered the weakness of Lynn's lack of continuous combat capability, and wanted to use this as a breakthrough to drag Lynn down.

Faced with this situation, most people either fight desperately or retreat temporarily.

But Lynn just gave a third different solution——

Continue to fight, and then figure out a way to reverse the situation during the fight.

This kind of opponent is often the most difficult to deal with in battle. You never know what outrageous move he will make in the next second, and you can never estimate where his upper limit is.

Especially for a battle madman like Lynn.

I never know what it is to retreat, and I will even fight stronger and stronger.

It's outrageous!

Looking at the huge bunker that Lynn punched just now, Crocodile couldn't help frowning.

Tsk, what a trouble, why on earth did he come to Alabasta!

Not long ago, Crocodile, who had been looking for ancient weapons for a long time, finally found some clues.

In the superpower Alabasta, there is a clue about one of the ancient weapons - Hades.

Crocodile, who got the news, immediately set off for Alabasta, and met King Cobra of Alabasta in the capital Albana as His Majesty Shichibukai.

Even with a name recognized by the world government, Cobra still doesn't trust Crocodile as a pirate, but this is also expected by Crocodile.

In the days that followed, Crocodile was stationed in Alabasta, and went to sea as His Majesty Shichibukai, and solved the pirates wandering around Alabasta several times, protecting the safety of the people of the kingdom.

Gradually, Crocodile gained fame in the hearts of the people, and they all knew that there was a big man nicknamed [Sand Crocodile] protecting them.

And this is one of Crocodile's plots.

He wants to slowly build up his reputation in Alabasta, empty the royal family bit by bit, and finally seize the entire country, and get the deepest secret of Alabasta——

Ancient weapons, Pluto!

Ten days ago, Crocodile once again went to sea to destroy the pirates, but suddenly lost contact with Alabasta.

When he returned near the coast, he saw the wall that cut off Alabasta from the rest of the world.

Hehehehe, it seems that something very interesting happened!

Anomalies are happening in Alabasta right now, and anomalies often go hand in hand with opportunities.

With this in mind, Crocodile hid the ship nearby and took advantage of the night to start his operations.

He took off the glove on his right hand, used his dry ability to erode a big hole in the wall that would automatically repair, and entered the territory of Alabasta.

Crocodile left the scene as quickly as possible before being spotted by the patrol team of the Flying Pirates.

He is a cautious person, and he will not act rashly until he has grasped the overall situation, so he has to hide himself now, so that even if the situation inside Alabasta is very dangerous, he can retreat from it unscathed.

After returning to Albana, Crocodile learned from Cobra about the Golden Lion and his offer to trade dance fans.

Crocodile keenly sensed that this was his chance to win Cobra's trust.

As long as he has the trust of Cobra, his layout in Alabasta will be more convenient.

As a result, Crocodile agreed to be one of Cobra's guards to attend the handover meeting with the Golden Lion.

Everything was going according to Crocodile's plan, until the man suddenly appeared——

Lynn Barek.

The lunatic who made a big fuss about the Chambord Islands has now appeared in Alabasta.

Whether he admits it or not, his purpose cannot be other than Pluto!

And now the man is still smiling while walking towards him slowly.

Lynn raised his fist again.

boom!

With a punch, Crocodile immediately dodged with elementalization, and hit the ground with his fist, creating another big bunker in an instant.

Lynn let out a breath of white air.

Unfortunately, I didn't make it again.

enough!

Crocodile frowned and growled: Although I can't drag you down, you can't hit me either. If this continues, there will be no results. Let's stop!

Ah? You said it wrong. Lin En raised his eyebrows and grinned: I am the current attacker. Whether I decide to continue or stop, I have the final say on all of this!

Walking forward again, and punching again in the state of being together.

boom!

A third big pit appeared on the ground, even bigger than the first two.

This guy is getting familiar with this trick!

Crocodile felt his scalp tingling all the time.

Another missed hit, but Lynn was not in a hurry. After all, opponents of Crocodile's level are hard to find, and it would be a pity not to practice a few more moves.

He grinned and said, Yaqianyi, how long can you hide?

call……

Crocodile took a few deep breaths to calm down his emotions.

You can't fight anymore, otherwise you will only be the one who suffers!

So he pointed to the sky, and said coldly: The transaction is tomorrow, do you want that old thing in the sky to reap the benefits of a fisherman?

What Crocodile was talking about was, of course, the golden lion.

Hearing this, Lin En thought for a while and felt that there was indeed some truth.

At this point, both he and Crocodile understand that the two sides will not be able to tell the winner for a while, and it is not a good choice to meet the Golden Lion with exhaustion after the war

Then let's have a temporary truce. Lynn shook his hand and said with a grin, Look, I should decide whether to truce or not.

Tsk!

Crocodile was extremely upset at this time, but for tomorrow's deal, he could only endure it.

But curiosity still drove him to ask: Hey, you seem to be very upset with me.

Roughly the same.

Why?

Because you upset me.

Lynn moved his arm, recalling what Uncle Doto had said to him.

For the country we love, we come together and we can do anything.

Lynn couldn't help grinning and said, Another reminder, this country is far more resilient than you think.

Oh? Really? Crocodile said with a smile, So you think so.

Is there anything wrong?

Hehehehe, you are really naive, Lynn Barek.

Crocodile put on his fur coat again, lit another cigar, and chuckled softly, There are some things in this world that cannot be solved with fists.

Yeah?

yes!

Then let me go.

Lin En shrugged, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and reminded: Speaking of which, I won the first round, and I let you a point in the second round, which is considered a tie, so I still win in total!

Hearing this, Crocodile was not only not angry, but laughed out loud.

Laughter resounded throughout the desert.

...

The next day, the agreed trading time was in the afternoon.

However, just after breakfast, Lynn was called to the palace by Icarem, saying that there was something urgent to discuss.

When he came to the palace, Lynn found that besides Cobra, Bell the Falcon, Jakar the Jackal, and even Crocodile had all been called here.

In other words, here are all the members who participated in the trading meeting this afternoon!

What's the matter with calling us here? Your Majesty the King. Bell asked aloud.

Cobra's face was gloomy at this time, and he frowned and said: There is something wrong with the goods.

What? Everyone was surprised.

Icarem on the side added: One hundred tons of dance powder was damaged during transportation, and it is too late to remanufacture.

Lynn glanced at Crocodile aside, frowned and said, Is it because of natural disasters like sandstorms?

No.

Cobra shook his head with a sullen face, It's because of a rumor.

Hearing this, Lynn suddenly turned his gaze to Crocodile, and found that the latter was also looking at him.

At the same time, Crocodile made several mouth shapes, saying——

The third round has begun.
