Start with Demon Slayer and create the strongest demon sword!.

However, during the journey, Luffy and others also learned Ace's purpose, which was to hunt down Blackbeard, and the target was also Yuba.

With the same goal, everyone will travel together.

……

at the same time.

Kingdom of Alabasta.

Yuyan, the largest casino located in the center of the rainy land of Dream City.

Deep underground in this casino.

In a bright and grand meeting room, on both sides of a conference table with several chairs, the cadres of the Baroque Workshop sat.

They all seemed to be waiting for something.

Until Robin slowly walked down the spiral staircase at the entrance of the conference room and broke the silence, "Is everyone here?

Then I can announce something, or introduce someone, and that person is the boss of the company whom you have not met yet!

Until now, I have been directing for him, but now it is no longer necessary."

The words fell.

In the astonished eyes of everyone.

The chair at the head of the conference table turned, and with a creaking sound, a sturdy man in a gray fur cloak appeared in everyone's sight.

All that was seen was his purple-black slicked back hair, and the seam line across the side of his face under his arrogant eyes.

And the most eye-catching.

The opponent's left hand has been replaced by a golden hook.

When everyone present saw this, their faces changed drastically and they recognized the other party's identity.

However, Crocodile, who was in the first place, did not care about the opinions of these people. He just spoke to himself.

"Now the time is ripe, which means that the time for our Baroque Works' ultimate goal, to seize Alabasta, has come!

And this is also our ultimate plan, to build this country into our own utopia!"

For this plan.

Everyone present had heard about it before, so no one seemed surprised.

Crocodile didn't care too much about this and continued to speak calmly.

“However, the princess of Alabasta has already learned of our plan, and according to intelligence, she is now being escorted by pirates from the East Sea to Yuba to stop the rebel leader Kosa.

So we don't have much time left, the plan will be implemented at 12 o'clock tomorrow! Do you have any questions? ! "

That being said.

But no one among the cadres below dared to refute the other party.

"In that case, let's take action. Our utopia is right before our eyes, and I don't want to hear any more news of failure."

Say it.

He picked up the cigar on the table, took out his lighter and lit it.

Seeing this, the people below also stood up and responded one after another, "Leave it to us, boss!"

"We'll take care of everything!"

……

And the other side.

Luffy and others have arrived at their destination, Yuba, but Ace has left halfway, leaving only a life card for Luffy.

But when Luffy and others arrived at Yuba.

This place is deserted.

All that was left was a weathered figure, digging with a shovel in hand in the center of the ruined town.

He didn't even notice Luffy and the others approaching.

"What is this uncle doing?"

Luffy asked doubtfully.

This also made the old man turn his head, and his somewhat old eyes happened to meet Weiwei above the pit, and his expression was somewhat stunned.

As for Weiwei, she asked hurriedly, "Uncle, where are Kosa and the others? Could it be that they have already..."

Don't wait for her to finish.

The old man sighed and interrupted, "Yes, they left here for Narohara three days ago...

You are late..."

"how so."

Weiwei looked a little lonely when she heard that. If she couldn't stop it here, it would be too late to chase after him now.

But looking at the other person's heavy face.

Luffy and the others didn't have any good solution. Instead, Ajuuramaru in the sword couldn't help but frowned slightly and complained unhappily when he saw this.

"Are you fools? Even if you can stop the rebels, can you stop the so-called Shichibukai?

And don't forget your identities, you are pirates!"

"Then what do you think we should do?!" Zoro was also in a dilemma. After all, he was not very good at using his brain.

Ajuramaru was too lazy to complain and simply gave him clear and simple directions, "Listen to me, if you can't solve the problem, then get rid of the person who caused the problem!"

"what?"

Zoro was stunned for a moment.

I really want to refute something, but when I think about it carefully, it seems to make sense!

The originally dull brain.

It was as if some kind of switch had been turned on.

"That makes sense... In other words, we should deal with Crocodile, the mastermind behind this?"

"What do you say?"

Ajuramaru asked back somewhat helplessly, then, seeing Zoro's understanding expression, he curled his lips and sighed.

"You really are an idiot."

But this time, Zoro rarely retorted, "We are companions, right? So don't always call me an idiot!"

But this time, Ajuramaru did not respond.

After a brief silence.

Everyone present had been arranged into the room, and Zoro repeated what he had just heard to the people present.

Luffy agreed immediately, "I have no objection to this, but we still don't know where Crocodile is?"

But compared to Luffy.

When the others looked at Zoro, their eyes were a little strange. After all, in their opinion, Zoro didn't have that kind of brain.

Thinking of this.

Several people looked at the blade on Zoro's waist, and they all had some doubts in their minds. Could that blade really be alive?

But after hearing these words.

But he said with an angry look.

"Are we going to let the civilians fight the Kingdom Army and let the blood flow like a river?"

This sentence.

Even Zoro could see what she was thinking.

An innocent princess who wants everyone to be safe and sound? He murmured in his heart, but he did not refute anything.

After all, this is where the real decisions are made.

Luffy is still the captain!

He simply turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed to practice the breathing method, focusing on not paying attention to anything else outside and focusing on practicing the breathing method!

But Luffy tried to persuade her.

What greeted him was Vivi's angry shouts and roars, but Luffy responded decisively and knocked her away with one punch.

Use words and actions to persuade the other party!

This also made the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates stunned.

But fortunately, the result is good.

Vivi was finally moved by Luffy and chose to tell him all the information she knew. "If nothing unexpected happens to Crocodile, he is in the rainy land not far from here!"
