One Piece: God Killer

"Letter?" Profik took the envelope from Gao Shifu, "What's going on?"

"It was what the crocodile guy left for you before he left." Gao Shifu said.

Just now when Profik and Kobra confirmed the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations between Wano and Alabasta, Sand Crocodile had already been impatient and left. Before leaving, he left this letter to Profik.

Profik opened the envelope, and there was only a simple line on it:

At noon tomorrow, I will go to the eastern suburbs of Arupana alone.

"Do you really want to go?" Gao Shifu had a bad impression of Crocodile, "I always feel that the crocodile has no good intentions."

Cobra stroked his beard and interjected: "After Crocodile came to Alabasta, he has been helping our country to eliminate pirates. I always feel that he has other intentions, but as long as it is beneficial to Alabasta, it doesn't matter. But you’d better be careful.”

From the day he became king of Alabasta, Kobra was determined to give his all for his country. Otherwise, he would never have allowed Crocodile, who had ulterior motives at first sight, to use Rainland as his base camp.

Profik nodded, indicating that he had received Kobra's reminder.

What was the purpose of Crocodile asking himself to go into the desert alone?

Gather people secretly, set up an ambush, and kill me?

No, there is absolutely no way he would write such a letter, let alone doing so. Even if we want to do it, Sand Crocodile doesn’t have the manpower to use it!

Since there is a high probability that there is only one person on the opposite side, it will be easy to handle.

Although Lao Sha is strong, I am not bad either. Arupana is not too remote outside the city. If we really fight, I don’t know whether I will win or not. I won’t have a problem if I run away.

If he didn't go, it would appear that he was afraid of Crocodile, and he would be at a disadvantage in anything in the future.

Then go!

See what tricks Lao Sha is playing.

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty Kobra, but Lord Crocodile is my 'ally' and 'colleague', and I have no reason to refuse the invitation from my 'ally' and 'colleague'."

……

At noon the next day, it was the hottest time of the day in Alabasta.

Most people wisely choose to rest at home. Even local residents rarely go out during this period, and outsiders are hiding in hotels to escape the extreme heat in the desert.

Profic left the city of Arupana alone and headed to the desert on the outskirts of the city according to the location agreed in the letter.

Under the scorching sun, the endless yellow sand outside the city of Arupana is a desolate scene.

Soon, Profik saw Crocodile.

He stood alone in the yellow sand, still wearing the familiar attire, staring in the direction of Aruba.

"Brother Sha, I'm here!"

Profic greeted Crocodile from afar, but he did not continue to approach. Instead, he stood still and looked at Crocodile from a distance.

Profic felt a strong aura from the opponent's body, not the malice exuded before the sneak attack, but the surging fighting spirit exuded when he was ready to go and wanted to fight openly and justly.

"You are indeed here!"

Seeing Profik appear "on time", Crocodile's mouth curved up in a rare expression, obviously very satisfied with his arrival.

"Yes, we are allies."

"Hmph, only the 'weak' need allies, the strong only need 'self'!"

"A guy who thinks about ancient weapons all day long does not deserve to be called a 'strong man'!"

"Profic, are you determined to stop me?!"

There was a bit of anger in Crocodile's tone. This sharp-edged pirate is essentially a person with an arrogant temperament and a very egoistic approach. He has long been impatient with Profik's repeated pointings at him.

What qualifications does such a "junior" pirate have to comment on his choice?

He had to teach Profik a lesson!

"I'm saving you!" Profic met Crocodile's gaze without fear, "There is no Pluto in this country. Being obsessed with ancient weapons can only make you lose yourself, and there is no way to help you become the Pirate King. .In the end, you are just a coward who dare not face yourself, a loser!"

In the original book, Crocodile lurked in Alabasta for seventeen years for Pluto. Instead of finding the ancient weapons he dreamed of, his own strength actually declined. He suddenly transformed from a great pirate who could compete with Barrett to a "second-rate" Shichibukai who was not domineering and could only bully the rookie pirate group with the help of natural devil fruits.

If this had nothing to do with the wavering of his faith, Profik would not believe it.

Faith is very magical in the world of One Piece. All strong men seem to have some kind of "belief". The navy's belief is "justice". Sengoku, Akainu, Aoki, and Kizaru all have their justice framed behind their desks. Many pirates, such as Luffy, take the throne of "One Piece" as their belief and shout "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King" to gain unimaginable power.

Believing in what you believe in and believing in your own power are important factors that make the strong in the world of One Piece considered strong. Even if this "belief" seems extremely ridiculous to outsiders.

And once one's own belief is shaken, or one no longer believes in one's own power but wants to use external objects like Sand Crocodile and Moria, one's own strength will be greatly reduced. Of course, if they regain their faith later, they can also regain their strength relatively quickly.

The sand crocodile happens to be an excellent spokesperson for this "law".

"You think I'm a coward and a loser?! You say I can't become the Pirate King?! Don't be kidding me, I'm a Sand Crocodile!"

As Crocodile finished speaking, the surrounding yellow sand began to surge. He opened his arms and fully felt the incomparable power given to him by the unique natural environment.

"Let's duel. I want to prove to you that my power will not be weakened for such ridiculous reasons! If I win today, I will kill all Arupana immediately and force Kobra to tell Pluto's story. whereabouts."

"Profic, don't you want to be a hero? Then try to stop me!"

madman!

Profik found that the stimulation he gave Crocodile seemed a bit too much, so that Lao Sha went directly into a violent state and had to prove himself.

It seems that the cultivation of xinxing is still worse than it was seventeen years later.

Although... to a certain extent, this is what Profik wanted to see, but it would not be a good thing if he really wanted to rush into Aruba and make a fuss.

"Okay, Brother Sha! If you win today, I will never stop you! If you lose, then give up the ancient weapons honestly!"

"This time, we won't break the 'covenant'!"

"of course!"

"Then let's have a good fight!"
