Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 40 Hanafza Attacks!

"Crocodile has been defeated again?"

Upon hearing the Navy's report, Sengoku asked in surprise, "Who is it this time? Could he be challenging Whitebeard again?"

“No.” The Marine soldier standing in front of him quickly reported, “The person who defeated him called himself ‘Ian.’ He’s neither a pirate nor a Marine. Based on the information we have so far, we can only conclude from the traces of his battle with Crocodile that he is likely a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Flame-Flame Fruit.”

A Logia-type Devil Fruit user? An unknown but powerful figure who could defeat Crocodile?
Sengoku wasn't too surprised. On this vast sea, besides the highly active and powerful figures, there are indeed many strong people who prefer a low-key life. It seems that Crocodile has unfortunately offended one of them this time.

He was just having a bit of a headache. The Seven Warlords of the Sea, as the balance of power between the Navy and the pirates, were powerful figures. It was one thing for them to challenge Whitebeard and be defeated by him, but to be defeated by an unknown guy like this... if word got out, it would be...

"In addition, Marshal, the other party also provided a recording, the contents of which..."

Marines placed a recording Den Den Mushi on the table and began to broadcast. Crocodile's domineering voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"My investigation shows that Hades, one of the three ancient weapons, is very likely in the Kingdom of Alabasta... First, I must take control of this country... Soon, a group of foolish pirates will land and attack this country. I will defeat them and become the hero here!"

Hades? Sengoku's expression turned serious. "Who was he talking to? Ian?"

"No, Ian said that Crocodile's subordinate gave it to him to escape. When he got it, the recording had been edited, only describing the woman as a beautiful woman who had just received Crocodile's invitation and was still hesitating about joining his ranks. There was no conflict between the two, so he let her go."

Let him go? Sengoku frowned, then quickly relaxed. After all, the other party wasn't a Marine or a pirate, so he had no obligation to help capture someone. Stopping Crocodile was already more than enough!

They actually coveted ancient weapons? This was beyond his capabilities, so he quickly contacted the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government!

The Five Elders replied: "Strip Crocodile of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and send him to Impel Down! Also, investigate the background of Ian, the man who defeated him. If there are no problems, invite him to replace Crocodile!"

Sengoku looked up: "Alabasta? I remember Colonel Hina's G17 branch was nearby?"

"Yes, but Colonel Hinata is currently on vacation."

"Why is she on vacation again?" Sengoku sighed. Like Smoker, neither of them could give him a moment's peace. "Tell her her vacation is over and to take Crocodile back to Marine Headquarters!"

Guan Yi was in a good mood. Crocodile indeed had a lot of life points. He had received three large sums of life points in the past two days, which was enough for his seventh practical sparring session!
The first one was obtained when I defeated Crocodile and let Robin go.

The second one was obtained shortly after he defeated Crocodile, presumably when the Navy had determined how to deal with Crocodile.

The third life value is what I gained right now, when I watched the arriving Marines put Seastone handcuffs on Crocodile!

Four days have passed since Guan Yi defeated Crocodile. Crocodile has long since woken up from his coma, but his severely injured body makes it difficult for him to move.

He didn't communicate with Guan Yi again, nor did he try to escape. The winner takes all, and Crocodile is a decent man.

Even now, as the Navy handcuffed him with Seastone, Crocodile turned and gave Guan Yi a cold look, as if to say, "You just wait," "Don't give me a chance to escape," before the Navy escorted him back to the warship.

Hina's mood was so-so. She had long, light pink, center-parted hair, wore a fuchsia business suit, and a justice cape. She had a sexy figure and fair skin, and was a rare beauty in the Navy, a crime slayer. Only those who knew her well knew that Hina was someone who loved to steal moments of leisure from her busy schedule.

Hina's wonderful holiday was abruptly cut short, leaving her filled with the resentment of a working-class person.

However, she knew right from wrong and didn't give Crocodile a friendly look, but when facing Guan Yi, she adopted the demeanor of a naval elite.

"So young?" she thought to herself in surprise. Then, in an official tone, she said, "Hello, Ian. I am Hina, a captain from the G17 branch of the Navy. I am here on orders from the Fleet Admiral to escort Crocodile back to Impel Down."

Furthermore, Fleet Admiral Sengoku also asked me to extend an invitation to you: would you be willing to join the Navy? As a specially recruited elite, the Navy Headquarters can directly grant you the rank of Colonel, and promises that after a period of training, you can be promoted to Commodore or even Rear Admiral.

Invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Sengoku outwardly complied but inwardly defied him, and talented individuals outside the official ranks had to be recruited into the Navy first!
"Thank you for your high regard, Admiral, but I have no intention of joining the Navy at the moment," Guan Yi replied. "Having just come from the East Blue, I still want to travel more along the Grand Line and broaden my horizons. If I ever decide to join the Navy, I hope they will accept me."

"Is that so? You're a very polite man. Hina admires you." Hina smiled. "Then I look forward to the day we become naval colleagues."

After a brief exchange, Hina took her leave, citing her mission that prevented her from staying any longer.

Just as Guan Yi watched her return to the warship and everything settled down, he suddenly heard a navy officer on the warship exclaim in alarm: "Captain Hina, a pirate ship is approaching from the distant seas!"

Pirates? Pirates again?

Thinking of a certain possibility, Guan Yi walked quickly towards the port and looked towards the end of the sea.

A huge pirate ship was approaching the port of Alabasta. On the mast of the ship hung a unique pirate flag, featuring a skull wearing a strange mask.

On the deck stood a very tall man wearing the same mask, with a red afro, holding a scythe, exuding the aura of a powerful figure!

"Hanafza?!"

At the same time, Hina, who had boarded the warship, also saw the figure and showed a look of disgust on her face. Why would this guy come here?

She paused, then shouted, "Hanafza! This is Alabasta, an ally of the World Government! Why are you here?!"

"Mhahaha, the Navy?" Hanafza's laughter echoed: "What, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea invited by the World Government, don't I have the right to land in Alabasta?"

"whispering sound."

Hina gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

"Don't worry, Marine, I have no interest in the Alabasta desert! I just heard that the sand crocodile was defeated? Is he on the ship? He has the information I need!"

"Crocodile?" Hina turned her head and glanced at the compartment where Crocodile was being held, then shouted a warning: "Hanafza! Crocodile has been stripped of his title as a Shichibukai by the World Government and is now a criminal who needs to be strictly guarded!"

Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea have no right to investigate him. Stop approaching immediately!

Hanafza's expression turned cold.

Hina, with a grave expression, turned to her subordinate and whispered, "Has Mr. Ian left?"

"I'm here, Colonel Hina." Guan Yi landed beside her and asked, "Who is this Shichibukai? I don't think I've ever heard of him?"

Hina's brow relaxed slightly. As a Marine, it was hardly a glorious thing to seek help from well-meaning citizens when facing pirates.

However, Hanafza's situation is truly special. He still has the intention of defeating Crocodile, and if the two join forces, they don't need to be too afraid of each other.

"You know Crocodile, but you don't know Hanafza?" she asked curiously, then quickly explained, "Hanafza was formerly the top officer of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Three Disasters, the Drought. A few years ago, he left the Beasts Pirates to become an independent pirate with a bounty of 410 million Berries."

It was the previous drought?
Just watching anime isn't enough to understand the whole world. Guan Yi never imagined that the Shichibukai that Ace defeated during his Supernova era was such an extraordinary figure.

If that's the case, Crocodile might have a fourth life point?

Because without me, he might have been rescued by Hanafza today! After all, he was the former drought disaster, how could he be driven away by Hinata?

Sure enough, after a brief pause, Hanafza waved his arms and roared.

"Pull the boat over!"

　The monthly tickets are great! Now Si Yang is looking forward to 2,000 tickets, hehe.

　　A new week begins, let's continue to ask for monthly votes and keep reading!
