The hero behind One Piece

The long passage seems to lead to the depths of hell,

Arnold just put his hands on both sides of the escalator, gently let go, and let gravity pull him down.

I don’t know how long it took before my feet stepped on the ground again.

This is an extremely wide room, like a weapons arsenal, surrounded by various boxes. If the skull logo on it is correct, it should contain cannonballs.

His target, Sand Crocodile Crocodile, was sitting on a boss's chair on a high platform, looking down at him. Behind him stood a tall man in green clothes and a fat aunt with red hair.

"I came here specifically to greet you." Sand Crocodile flicked the cigar in his hand on the armrest and said.

He was still wearing his iconic black shawl, and his whole person exuded a chic and arrogant temperament.

"There's no need to be polite." Arnold nodded and put on his gloves.

"We have dealt with each other several times, how about you give me a chance to finish the conversation?" Sand Crocodile ignored Arnold's directness. The scar across his cheek trembled as if it was about to split, and he showed a scary smile.

Arnold nodded without saying anything. This was the last sign of respect for his former friends.

"Arnold, how about my boat?" Sand Crocodile opened its arms and showed it to Arnold.

"Very good, it's the most powerful ship I've ever seen." Arnold replied truthfully.

"Do you know why Alabasta is a desert country?" Sand Crocodile looked proud upon hearing the praise, and suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question.

"do not know."

"Because it once withstood the bombardment of the cannon mounted on Hades." Sand Crocodile said with a sinister expression.

Arnold's expression was stern, this news had a great impact on him.

He has heard of Pluto. It is one of the three legendary weapons, alongside the King of Heaven and the King of the Sea.

It is a legendary super battleship that can annihilate an island with one shot.

The cannons on this ship are also legendary.

Could this island refer to Alabasta?

You must know that the great waterway is dotted with islands and countless mountains and cliffs.

But there are only a handful of places as flat and barren as Alabasta.

This environment has long made Arnold very strange.

Is it because except for this dam, all the terrain has been wiped away and only the soft sand is left?

Arnold's heart was filled with huge waves.

"I can't imagine that those cruel builders didn't bother to find a place after the cannon was formed, so they fired a cannon at the ground.

Except for the dock they built, all life was destroyed."

"Is this Pluto?" Arnold's mentality was different. Facing such a legendary thing in history, he observed the structure of the ship's hull with a more pious mood as if he were admiring a historical monument.

"Of course not. I have been toiling in Alabasta for so long just to find the real Pluto." Sand Crocodile's next words were even more unexpected.

Arnold's interest was piqued. If this is not Hades, then what is it?

"You should know that with our level of strength, it will be extremely difficult for us to take another step forward." Sand Crocodile rubbed the smoke ring and said.

Arnold nodded in approval.

"I lost all my partners in the battle with Whitebeard, and some even betrayed me and joined the enemy's camp." Sand Crocodile said melancholy, his voice becoming very deep.

"I have thought clearly about Partner Fortune's own capabilities. No matter how we strengthen these aspects, we will never be able to compete with those four monster-like guys."

Arnold knew that the monsters he was talking about were the kings of the sea, the four great pirates who ruled the great waterway like emperors, White Beard, Red Hair, Big Mom, and Kaido.

"So, I need to borrow some power, some extra power." Sand Crocodile said while looking at the golden hook on his left hand.

"For example, this is the prototype of the Pluto."

Arnold looked at the ship and felt more and more special.

It turned out to be a test product. If Pluto is also of this size, then it is indeed necessary to build an engineering trial ship in advance.

"Do you know how shocked I was when I faced this big guy for the first time? I think this is the opportunity God gave me." Sand Crocodile saw his shocked eyes, which were the same as his own at that time.

"The majestic power of ancient times actually transformed a valley to serve as a dock for this ship.

Don't you want to witness this power with your own eyes? In the past three years, I have collected almost all the water in the dock, and we can set sail soon." After saying this, the sand crocodile stood up and opened his arms passionately, as if facing ten thousand people. people giving speeches.

"You are not an ordinary man,

Come on, let’s join forces and use this ship to take down Whitebeard’s head first, and then climb to the top of this vast sea.”

The Sand Crocodile looked at Arnold and waited expectantly for Arnold's answer.

An icy silence hung in the air.

Arnold thought for a moment and said, "You'd better go back with me."

Although becoming the king of the sea is very attractive, I don't want to give up this stable job for the time being, at least I don't want to give up this job for this person.

"That's such a pity. I came here specially to greet you." Sand Crocodile held his head with the golden hook on his left hand in annoyance.

"I heard that you were defeated by an unknown pirate. I wonder how much strength you still have as a Shichibukai," Arnold said, looking at him coldly.

"Although I really want to play with you, there are still things to do, such as sailing this ship to the sea." Sand Crocodile held his forehead with his hands and laughed wildly.

With a wave of his right hand, streams of yellow saloon poured into the cabin from more than a dozen vents at the same time, spreading on the ground like a whirlwind.

Arnold cautiously jumped onto a box, purely because he hated the sand getting into his shoes, and just watched the gravel pile up quickly in the room like water.

Cannonballs were not a great threat to him, and it didn't matter even if the boxes under his feet exploded together.

This guy wants to bury himself, is he too naive?

".4. Merry Christmas. You two have a good chat with this guest. I have to help him prepare some small gifts." The sand crocodile said and finally gave out a sinister sneer, and then turned into a gust of sand wind and floated towards the aisle. go.

Seeing him escaping, Arnold quickly chased after him regardless of whether he could do it cleanly. But as soon as his feet touched the sand, a pair of claws stretched out from the sand and grabbed his ankles.

"Hey, the boss asked you to wait a moment, guest." The fat lady with red hair showed her head from the sand, her hands turned into claws, and she clasped Arnold's ankles.

Arnold looked down at her coldly, with a cold light in his eyes.
