Chapter 113

In addition to deep pits, various cracks are like scars, leaving traces in the desert area that will not be eliminated in a short time.

Apart from this devastated battlefield, Bell flew around for a long time and found no other living beings left here. What kind of battle is this?

He quickly flew back to report to the king.

Cobra frowned deeply after hearing what Bell said.

It's very difficult for a master of this level to come to Alabasta and start a fight with Crocodile.

This country has no capacity to resist such people.

Chapter 245 Swordsman Nemesis?

In the Rain Land, a space door opened in Crocodile's stronghold.

Noah walked out carrying Crocodile. As soon as he came out, he saw a bald, strong man in a black suit looking at him with shock on his face.

Um, Daz Bones, right. Mr.1 of the late Baroque Working Society. He was originally a killer from the West Sea, and he had a lot of plots in the early stages and a ruthless character set. He didn't expect to be recruited by Crocodile so early.

Hey~ Why is this bald man’s eyes so fierce? Oh, I held his boss in my hand. This is embarrassing. Will it affect Lao Sha's majestic image in the eyes of his subordinates?

Imagine a gangster with a big back, cigar smoking, various names and various settings, and then being carried...

Daz Bonis was very shocked at first, because he had seen his boss take action. He was the most powerful person he had ever seen in his life, a terrifying person who could destroy an island with one move.

At this moment, he was being carried in someone's hands like a dead dog. His body was covered in blood and his clothes were in tatters. This contrast was really hard to accept.

At the same time, he is also loyal. When his boss is trapped, he will take action regardless of whether he is an opponent or not.

"Um, can you please stay aside?"

Daz Bonis ignored these words at all, opened the Quick Slash Fruit directly, crossed his hands, and attacked directly.

"Destroying Slash"

For this kind of direct attack, Noah only needs to wrap his fingers with a little armed color, and then wave lightly.

Daz Bones didn't know this, he only saw the opponent using only one finger to receive the attack, which made him angry and a little lucky at the same time. He is angry that his opponent looks down on him, but he is also happy that his opponent looks down on him.

The person who can defeat the boss must be extremely powerful. The other party's contempt is his only chance. He once used this move to cut a huge rock into countless pieces, which was considered a killing move.

With mixed emotions, this move finally clicked.

Daz Bowness was momentarily distracted. How could it be? How could all the slashing attacks with both hands be blocked by one finger? It still looked so easy.

"Quick Cut Fruit, this thing is meaningless to a swordsman like me. It has only a sword body but no sword intention. It is too weak. Any swordsman in the iron-cutting realm can knock you down."

After saying this, I felt inexplicably comfortable. Because in the original work, this bald man talks so crazy that no swordsman can hurt him, and he is the nemesis of swordsmen. Hawkeye didn't hear this, otherwise he would have beaten the bald man and the sand crocodile together.

In order to reply to such an arrogant sentence, Noah raised his profile a little bit. Then with a wave of his hand, an invisible sword intent passed through Daz Bonis and passed directly through his body. The bald man stood motionless on the spot.

"What did you do to him?"

Crocodile was quite concerned about this first general.

"It's okay, I just want him to know what a swordsman is."

This sword intention will not cause any obvious harm to the body's appearance, but it will be very painful on the inside.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, Daz Bones screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and twitched all over. He now felt as if he had been split in half by a sword energy, but there were no wounds on his body, not even a drop of blood came out, but the pain was always with him.

After bringing Crocodile to the office and letting go of the sand crocodile, Noah sat on the boss's chair as casually as if he had entered his own office, looking at the room.

As for the Sand Crocodile's injuries, don't worry about it. This world is a world with weird systems. As long as you don't die on the spot, it will be fine if you turn the camera later. Although Lao Sha's system is not very strong, his ability to recover blood is still good. Now he is no longer as angry as he was at the beginning, and has returned to a half-dead state.

While Noah kept looking around, Lao Sha looked at Noah impatiently.

"You defeated me and let me go. Are you going to use me for something?"

Just now, Crocodile roughly understood that Noah must be using him to do something if he let him go.

"Yes, I want to use your fruit ability to find something in the desert. A piece of historical text."

This was beyond Crocodile's expectations. He always thought that Noah was here to recruit him. Beat them first and then recruit them, this is the way among pirates.

"History text? Okay, as a deal, can you tell me where Hades is?"

Unexpectedly, Lao Sha hasn't given up on this idea yet. This is too persistent.

"You have to understand one thing. You are the defeated party, so the other side of the transaction is your life. Use this in exchange for the text of history, do you understand?"

"knew"

After getting over the mentality of seeking death and survival at the beginning, the will to survive still slightly outweighed the face.

"Continuing with the topic just now, Roger announced the existence of the Great Secret Treasure before his death, which made the world flock to it. They all thought that they could succeed as the Pirate King by getting the One Piece after arriving at Ravdru.

In fact, he told Whitebeard about this great secret treasure, but Whitebeard was not interested and refused directly. Do you still find the title One Piece attractive? "

It turns out that this is how the Pirate King came, and Whitebeard wasn’t even interested. This makes Lao Sha, who is devoted to pursuing his dream, somewhat uncomfortable.

"You're such a bastard."

"I can't say that. I haven't sinned against a few people since I went to sea, and my character is still very good. Only the world government, navy, pirates, and nobles have some prejudice against me."

Lao Sha sneered in his heart, you have basically offended everyone in this world, how many people are left who have no prejudice against you?

"By the way, Lao Sha, since Pluto is not here, what else are you going to do? Continue to be King Shichibukai? Are you too bored and don't want to go to the new world to get Whitebeard's head?"

"That's my business."

With such a strong tone, it was obvious that whenever Whitebeard was mentioned, this guy's hair would explode.

"How about we have the opportunity to do something big together in the future. Only by finding a strong opponent can we show our own abilities and kill a pirate king. How exciting. Do you want to do it?"

"No, I refuse."

Oops, people with brains just can't be fooled. In order to sway Kaido in the future, Noah has already been arranging the game so early. It's just that the sand crocodile doesn't know what to do.

"Forget it if you refuse. When you find the historical text, help me arrange a private meeting with Neferutari Kobra and talk to him about some things."

"Yeah, okay."

Sand Crocodile didn't know why Noah did this, but he could only obey orders at this time.

What Noah was thinking was that he would not take away the historical text in the funeral hall, but it would still be okay to make a rubbing and take it back to Robin.

Chapter 246 Pirates’ enterprise-level management

After a week of recovering from his injuries in the rain, Crocodile finally recovered a lot.

One Piece has weird physiques per person, but unfortunately, Sand Crocodile is not among them. I hope he can learn from this and practice his physical skills after this time.

That hook trick is really unbearable to watch. The poisonous scorpion needle is a bit of a trick, but it doesn't have much effect. If you encounter someone like Kaido, you will find the poison not strong enough.

Daz Bonis has been acting calmly these days, and the constant pain and tearing sensation in his body reminds him how terrifying the swordsman is. Now he is exercising crazily despite the pain. He can be considered a man, knowing his shame and then being brave.

If this macho man can cultivate his domineering skills well and use his own quick-cutting fruit, he can still break new ground.

There was an episode during this period. Kobra asked his guard captain to go to the rainy land and asked Crocodile what happened in the desert before.

The new version is that a big pirate from a new world is coming. In order to protect the people, Crocodile intercepted the opponent in advance, resolutely led the pirate into the desert for a life-and-death battle, and finally buried the opponent in the desert at the cost of serious injury to himself. inside.

I didn’t want to tell you originally, but since you asked, I have to tell you.

Sand Crocodile, who understands the essence of hype, knows that there is too much to say at this time, so it is better to leave more blank space for people to daydream. Alabasta will definitely send people to inspect the battlefield. When the two are combined, it will be awesome.

The guard captain looked at the scars all over Crocodile's body and believed it. After paying attention with reverent eyes, he went back to resume his life moved by himself. I don’t know how many heart-stirring stories I have filled my head with. Anyway, Crocodile's reputation has skyrocketed again.

"Fortunately, we have Master Crocodile guarding us here. He is really a hero."

There are more and more such folk rumors. Noah doesn't believe it if there is no sand crocodile secretly adding fuel to the fire.

Noah admired Sand Crocodile's operation very much. He was really a talent. The newly established Baroque Co., Ltd. is not yet a killer group. Crocodile also manages it as a business. This instinct has to follow the management behavior model, making him very different from ordinary pirates.

First of all, before taking action, he conducted research on the Pirate Kingdom and the project of finding Pluto, and only started to act after confirming that there was indeed information about Pluto here.

Then, a comprehensive design was carried out for this project. From the first contact, hunting down pirates to this country, to the later maintenance of the relationship with the royal family and the establishment of relationships with civilians, everything was fully designed and natural.

Then comes project construction and production. The product is the hero who protects the country, which can be regarded as a business service industry and a self-media promotion industry. The transition from internet celebrity to star is incredibly smooth.

Finally, project operations and updates are also done diligently. Each group of pirates in the future will have one small project after another, and the secondary operation is very beautiful.

Always after the pirates landed, caused a certain amount of damage to the port, and caused a certain amount of harm to ordinary people, they would find a very conspicuous place to appear, and say some very domineering words to consolidate their image of being cold-faced and warm-hearted. Kill the enemy in time and give people confidence.

In terms of human resources, he worked personally in the early stage and recruited several core people. Although they were not great experts in the later stage, they could be regarded as small bosses in the early stage. You must know that all cadres are fruit-capable people. This is also a very remarkable achievement. If there are many fruits that are developed well, they can also be regarded as strong men on the sea.

Of course, most of it was pulled apart, but there were a few standout moments with a lot of highlights. Xiao Feng won't say it anymore, the hot-blooded shemale has made countless tears.

Mr.3 Gar Dino is even more amazing. He followed Bucky to fight his way out of Impel Down City, participated in the War on Top, stole many scenes in the general-level battlefield, and even escaped with his life from the Warring States Period. In the end, he became a dragon warrior and became the captain of the Yonko Regiment, working side by side with Ben Beckman, Marco, and Katakuri.

A funny character made a counterattack all the way and shocked the whole world together with Bucky.

It's a pity that Miss.All Sunday, who has mastered the company's core production materials, has no spirit of dedication to the company, making everything Lao Sha did a joke.

Eventually the company collapsed and the boss and key management were arrested and imprisoned.

You need to be cautious when starting a business, this sentence is for every entrepreneur.

Then the two returned to the desert, where Crocodile had been forced to agree to help Noah find things.

Looking at the endless desert, Crocodile regretted a little. He didn't ask clearly before, thinking that Noah knew the general direction, so he agreed to help him find things.

As a result...he said that there was an underground space somewhere underground in this desert. This desert generally refers to the entire desert.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, really, he, Sand Crocodile, would be so pissed off that he would die here. The Shasha Fruit has a great bonus in the desert, but it is not to the extent of being unnatural. Human beings have limited physical strength, and the range of the fruit is also limited.

Noah didn't want this either. It was all the fault of the animation team. Why did they design a featureless terrain to place the stone monument? Now looking at Crocodile's resentful expression, he was also very embarrassed.

I used my own knowledge and knowledge to cooperate with the Menmen Fruit before, but found nothing at all, so I put my hope in Lao Sha. I also blame him for coming to his door to ask for a beating, and he must have trapped the person now.

Life was not easy, so Lao Sha suppressed his anger and worked in the desert, sensing the space under the sand piece by piece. When you feel irritated to the point of explosion, just move forward and move forward. There is no way to find it anyway, so you can vent your mood.

In the distant palace of Albana, Cobra was playing with Vivi. After hearing the guard captain's report, he had put aside his worries. This country still had its own guardians.

However, some ministers were still worried and advised Kobra. After all, Crocodile is a pirate. He has only been in Alabasta for a few years and has gained a high reputation among the people. Is there something wrong with him?

Kobra said frankly that it is enough for a person to be good to the people. We don’t look at what he says, but what he does. You see, he risked his life to protect everyone this time. He is a good person. We still had some prejudices against him before.

The ministers still had some complaints, but they were all suppressed by Kobra. He believes that the world government will not ignore Alabasta, after all, they are also the descendants of the 20 kings. It should be special in the eyes of those in high positions.

But in fact, the Five Old Stars didn't care that much about leaving the royal family of Mariejoia.

Chapter 247: Fooling the Sand Crocodile into joining forces

"found it"

Lao Sha's calm tone was not exciting at all.

"Um"

Noah also replied calmly.

They've been eating sand here for a week.

On the first day, Lao Sha discovered an underground space through his perception of the deep sand. That's a joy. After all, it's not a good feeling to be forced to work. It's better to end it as soon as possible and go back to the rainy place to be your own domineering president.

But when the space was opened excitedly, it was just a mausoleum of an unknown person. In addition to the bones, there are some jewelry. Other funerary objects have been buried by time.

The second day was basically the same, there were quite a few treasure rooms and so on. No historical text was found, but a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were found. Looking at the traces inside, there are many different styles. Logically speaking, Alabasta has always been like this since the Neferutari royal family came here. How come there are still so many mysterious cultural remnants.

If you think about it, you can understand that the history of this world is far longer than 800 years, and there is still a long history before that. It is even possible that this desert used to be a primitive jungle, and the vicissitudes of the sea have changed according to thousands of years.

After eliminating these remnants of other eras, they continued their search for the historical text. A week later, the hunt was a fruitful one in terms of personal gain alone.

In addition to a large amount of precious metals that are not easily oxidized, they did not expect that there are so many minerals in the desert, and they have discovered various non-ferrous metal mines.

This also proves that the predecessor of this desert was the existence of a large number of plants and the changes in the magma layer.

There is also the fact that no one with the Shasha Fruit ability has really come here to make a fortune in the past, so Noah is not polite about these unmined minerals. He has all marked their locations and will be handed over to the revolutionary army for development in the future, or with Alaba. Stan establishes trade relations and makes good use of these natural resources.

When the Sand Crocodile said it had been found this time, the two of them opened the passage and jumped in as usual.

Um?

It seems to be different this time. Tall stone pillars support this huge space, and an ancient feeling lingers here. A much collapsed underground palace appeared in sight.
