One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

"Sssssss!"

"Shushushu!"

"..."

Crocodile's figure gathered again on the ruins of the building that had just been shattered by the attack.

His face was obviously red, swollen and deformed, with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

His neatly slicked-back hair was also disheveled, making him look extremely disheveled.

"Aquaman, Jock Ian!"

"You bastard, why are you here?"

"Shouldn't you be in the New World?"

"Besides that... attacking me means you want to start a war with me!?"

Under normal circumstances, he would have encountered someone who would kill him at will.

Crocodile would definitely take action without hesitation to let him know the consequences of offending him.

But compared to his anger, he is more rational and conspiratorial.

The opponent is a young man who defeated Doflamingo and Kaido one after another.

Crocodile had long heard of his powerful strength.

He was almost certain that Ian had not used his full strength in the previous punch.

Maybe, not even half of his own strength.

This shows that Ian's terrifying fighting power is simply unfathomable.

"Crocodile, nicknamed the Sand Crocodile."

"Because he mastered the power of the Nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit, he became famous on the sea."

"He was one of the first to become a Shichibukai."

"I came here today to tell you..."

"On behalf of the World Government and the Navy, I inform you that your status as a Shichibukai has been revoked!"

Ian spoke briefly and publicly announced that Crocodile was no longer one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

So whatever happens to him next will be the navy's action against pirates.

Crocodile's eyes were red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he felt like he was being played.

At that time, the power of the Four Emperors was too great, and it was necessary to form the Seven Warlords of the Sea to compete with them.

Crocodile hesitated, but still chose to trust the credibility of the World Government, allowing him to gain enough power.

The dream he pursues requires more resources to achieve.

Even if it was only temporary, he still chose to join forces with the official forces that he had been fighting against for a long time.

What now?

It's like a chess piece that has been used up and can be discarded at will.

When they think you are useful, they will try every means to persuade you to agree.

Once they want to get rid of you, they will use methods of suppression that you can't even imagine.

"So you're here to personally attack me. I'm really surprised..."

"What's the reason? Did you find someone to replace me?"

"Or is it because I interfered in the affairs of the Kingdom of Alabasta?"

"Can helping the righteous side be a reason?"

Crocodile was almost certain that the World Government was not looking for someone to replace him.

If there are people who are really willing to serve the World Government, it will only increase the number of Wu Hai.

The world government would like to have as many people as possible willing to work for them and will not choose to actively eliminate them.

If he guessed correctly, it was the second situation he mentioned.

Crocodile thought that he had not revealed any flaws from beginning to end.

He has always kept his identity as the behind-the-scenes boss of Baroque Works well hidden.

Even if there are some speculations, there will be no actual evidence.

The only reason Ian took action could only be because he intervened in the war within the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Now he is in a commanding position, doing what others think is right.

"Why should we strip Mr. Crocodile of his status as a Shichibukai? He is clearly saving our country!"

"Yes, without Mr. Crocodile's help, we wouldn't have the weapons to fight, let alone resist Cobra's evil deeds!"

"Can't the World Government and the Navy alone take action against other countries? Can't the Seven Warlords lend a hand?"

"This is simply unbelievable. What on earth did Crocodile-sama do wrong?"

"..."

Since Crocodile dared to ask questions in public, it showed that he had absolute confidence in what he did.

He believes that it is impossible for the World Government to find out what he has done behind the scenes.

This is the first half of the Grand Line, far from the Emperor Mary Geoise.

It is almost impossible to plant spies in such a faraway place and find evidence of Crocodile's guilt.

Ian wanted to directly shatter all his self-confidence!

"Want to know the answer?"

"Since you're about to become a dead man, I'm here to tell you."

"You ordered your men to use the power of the Parahuman Mimicry Fruit to impersonate King Cobra."

"Killing ordinary people and using dancing powder indiscriminately in various areas of Alabasta."

"Do you think you can set up the Baroque Workshop and be the boss behind the scenes without anyone noticing?"

"There are agents lurking in your agency for a long time who have already thoroughly investigated your crimes."

"Do you want to start a war in Alabasta and profit from it yourself?"

"What a pity, you made a wrong calculation!"

Chapter 166 The defenseless sand crocodile resolves the kingdom’s crisis!

Crocodile: "!!!"

Ian exposed Crocodile's actions in public.

It totally scared him.

why?

Why does Ian know so much?

Is it true that the World Government is so terrifying that it has already placed undercover agents around him and he is completely unaware of it?

Crocodile was really scared by this incident.

Because the Baroque Studio has a large number of staff, as long as you reach the level of a very high-ranking cadre.

Basically, you can clearly understand what is going on in the workplace.

The only blind spot may be that no one knows his true identity except Nico Robin.

Nico Robin herself is a fugitive. Could it be that the World Government learned of her identity as the president through other means?

As a result, the plan he had worked hard on for many years was ruined in an instant!

"What are you talking about?"

"Are you trying to frame me for something that never happened?"

"What's the ability of the Mimic Fruit? Many of them saw Cobra committing the crime."

"Those people are still alive. They are the best witnesses."

"It was the dancing powder he used that caused the drought in this country."

"Do you want all the meanness to be blamed on me?"

Crocodile still didn't give up and was still making his final struggle.

As long as there are believers on the scene, he still has a possibility of escaping.

"Give up! The agents of Baroque Works have been summoned by me."

"Mr. 1-5 and their companions are gathering towards Albana."

"According to the time, it should be about ten minutes away. We will be there soon."

"You concealed the identity of the boss. Did you really think no one could prove it?"

"And look at the expressions of the people you helped now..."

Ian pointed at the crowd, and Crocodile looked over there.

Most of the rebel soldiers who used to worship him like a god are now in a state of confusion.

What's more, some even showed a strange and scrutinizing look.

Crocodile couldn't believe it at all. What he had planned for so many years was not as good as a kid who showed up and said something casually?

Until now, Crocodile still doesn't know how ordinary people feel when Ian appears on behalf of the official to remove him from his position as a Seven Warlord of the Sea.

"Hey, Mr. Crocodile, is what Vice Admiral Ian said true?"

"You are the boss of Baroque Works!"

"It was you who had your men disguise themselves as King Cobra..."
