One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

Desert camp, center tent.

hiss...

A golden hook opened a corner of the curtain, from top to bottom, and opened a small slit in it.

His stern gaze poked out, silently observing not far away, and locked on Spangdine and the others.

They were stationed inside Central and also disguised themselves as a group of pirates.

"..."

"Sandain -launching the slaughter order, destroying the people of Ohara."

"At that time, he was already the commander of CP9, right?"

"After making such a great contribution, it has been a long time. If I continue to be promoted, I will probably be CP0."

"So are those people CP9? Or CP0?"

"..."

After observing for a moment, Crocodile murmured:

"One two..."

"Including Spangdine, there are about a dozen of them in the group."

"...not right."

His stern eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice:

"The number of people is too small."

"It concerns the [Golden Lion]. If we want to drive away tigers and devour wolves, we will inevitably dispatch a large number of government agents. A mere dozen people are not enough to fill the gap between our teeth."

"..."

The gloomy eyes were thoughtful.

Suddenly, in the gap above that eye, another one opened.

The pupils were pitch black and spread out like a mess, turning into countless thin spiral lines.

This eye narrowed, and there was a playful smile.

"It's not just those people."

The domineering aura of ancient knowledge permeated the air, capturing large and small traces, spreading from Spangdine's body to the surroundings.

Pupils rolled, Lindsay said slowly:

"Some of the 'pirate groups' around are not with Spangdine and the others, but there are traces connecting them, indicating that they are in the same group."

"They dispersed, disguised as different pirate groups, and were distributed throughout the camp."

"..."

The sinister pupils rolled up, staring at the strange pupils above.

The former's voice was cold as he said, "Don't lie behind me."

The latter's eyes were slightly raised, and he was about to make a joke.

But in the next second, another black-blue pupil appeared on top, secretly observing Spangdine.

"He himself is very weak, but he is unscrupulous in doing things, so he is very popular with the World Government."

Stern eyes: "..."

Stern eyes: "Hey..."

Before he could say anything, there was another eye with purple pupils lying on the top.

She blinked.

"After trying to control Totemjica, I could faintly hear a little bit of 'voice' from other people."

Uta looked at Spangdine and said in a deep voice:

"I hate hearing his 'voice'."

"It's like a piano soaked in stinking sludge, playing the worst tunes. It's an insult to music."

"..."

Four eyes are arranged vertically along the gaps in the tent cloth.

After all, the situation was unclear, and rushing forward would only make Alabasta more chaotic, so we just discussed it like this.

Purple Eyes said: "Their voices are distributed everywhere, like a big net."

Blue-black eyes said: "Even CP9... no, CP0, most likely will not challenge the [Golden Lion] head-on, let alone an Enel who is eyeing him."

Weird eyes said: "Do they want to reap the benefits? Or do they have the means to catch everyone in one go? Or have they reached cooperation with a certain party?"

Severe eyes: "..."

Strange eyes turned down and asked: "Little crocodile, what do you think."

Severe eyes: "..."

With stern eyes: "Can you stop pressing me, open the tent and see for yourselves?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Gravel surged.

Crocodile transformed into an elemental body, integrated into the sand below, and then condensed back into human form in another place.

Turning around, I saw Lindsay, Robin, and Uta, still lying on the ground, peering out like a stack of arhats.

Crocodile: "..."

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with them.

He turned to take out a map of Alabasta and began to mark detailed information on it.

"People in Alabasta are taking refuge."

"The pirates who came to Alabasta and those who can survive the desert environment are basically here."

"The [Golden Lion] is on the floating island in the sky."

"He is the only one whose whereabouts are unknown——"

Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly.

"El Nilu."

"Is he still in the royal capital Arupana?"

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Crocodile turned his gaze to Nico Robin.

The phone bugs are out of action throughout Alabasta, and no one has time to prepare Sky Island Shellfish, so they can only rely on Robin's Flower Fruit to maintain communication.

"I wonder how the investigation on the other side is going?"

"..."

……

at the same time.

The royal capital, Arupana, is on the outskirts.

This place used to be a desert with pretty good scenery, but now it has become the home of "bright blue" and "charred black".

"..."

"The scenery is still good..."

Bell looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head bitterly.

From within Arupana, endless thunder surged, even turning the surrounding desert into mottled charred black.

The huge Arupana was already shattered by the thunder, and even most of the city wall was destroyed.

"It appears that evacuating civilians early was the right thing to do."

Bell deactivated the fruit's ability, leaned down, and tried to hide himself as much as possible.

He was well aware of Enel's power.

As long as you are at high altitude, no matter how fast your falcon form is, it will never be faster than the opponent's thunder!

The desperate feeling of being seriously injured in an instant left a deep impression on Bell.

"From here on, it's time to approach from the ground."

Bell advanced slowly.

As one of the vice-captains of the Kingdom Guard, Bell is well aware of the importance of intelligence warfare.

So the purpose of his trip is to find out one thing——

What on earth is Enel doing in Aruba?

What exactly is the "electricity storage" he talks about?

"..."

Not long after, Bell was already close to Arupana.

Before leaving, Alvin Lindsay had warned Bell that Elnilu had the ability to instantly detect a large area around him, called the "Heart Network".

Bell cannot avoid this ability, so it must maintain a certain safety distance.

Of course, Bell will never put his own safety as the first priority.

For the sake of Alabasta and His Majesty Kobra, Bell must pass on the complete information even if he dies!

But when Bell really came here, he found that his determination was a bit redundant.

Because he "can't" get close to Arupana at all, let alone have no need to get close to Arupana.

A huge "thunder ball" was suspended in the sky above Aruba, crackling.

Moreover, Bell also noticed that the thunder ball was continuing to grow slightly, and it had obviously been accumulating for a long time!

"This...is this 'electricity storage'?!"

Bell's eyes widened, realizing the crux of the problem.

"In order to fight against the [Golden Lion], Enelu has been saving power for at least more than a month!"

"We must... pass this information to Mr. Lindsay and others."

"Once this power breaks out, the entire Alabasta will be implicated!"

Bell didn't hesitate and left directly.

"..."

Directly below the thunderball.

on the throne.

Enelu leaned aside and dozed lazily.

Through the Heart Network, he had already noticed Bell's movements, but now he was too lazy to care about ordinary people.

His eyes turned to the distance, towards the central desert.

"The only ones qualified to fight with God are the two of them..."

"Yeah ha ha ha!"

……

The undercurrent is surging.

All forces are planning their own plans.

Among them, of course, the world government is also included.

Spangdine left the central camp and went behind the nearby sand dunes, hiding his figure.

Not long after, the surrounding gravel surged, and Crocodile's figure appeared.

"Hehehehe..."

Waves of low laughter came, which made Spangdyne feel unsure.

He couldn't help but asked casually: "Sir, [Sand Crocodile], what are you laughing at?"

"It's okay, I'm imagining a big conspiracy."

Crocodile waved his hand casually and lit the cigar in his mouth.

"Now, let's talk."

He looked at Spangdine in front of him, but he also noticed the government agents ambushing around him.

"What do you want from me, a high-ranking government official?"

"hey-hey……"

Spangdine grinned and said slowly: "[Sand Crocodile], I am one of the seven warrior seas under the king. Strictly speaking, we are colleagues."

"Now, I have a good opportunity here -"

Spangdine stretched out his hand and said, "How about cooperating with me?"

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "Hehehehe..."

Spanda was confused when he saw this, "[Sand Crocodile], why are you laughing again?"

"Didn't I tell you everything?"

Crocodile stretched out his hand, held Spangdyne's hand firmly, and said with a dark smile:

"I thought of a big conspiracy..."

Spandine: "..."

Spangdine: "?"
