Hero of One Piece

When Crocodile first saw the man named Lynn Barek in the newspaper, he gave such an evaluation in his heart--

Madman.

A madman who declared war on Celestial Dragon alone.

And now, when he and Lynn Barek really played against each other, Crocodile gave a second evaluation——

monster.

A monster that will continue to evolve in battle.

For an ordinary people, the result of the battle is nothing more than victory or defeat.

If you win, you are better than you; if you lose, you are not strong enough and you will not have the third type.

However, the man named Lynn Barek seemed to blur the line between victory and defeat.

After the first encounter, Crocodile discovered the weakness of Lynn's insufficient continuous combat capability, and wanted to use this as a breakthrough to drag Lynn down.

In the face of this situation, most people either fight to the death or retreat temporarily.

But Lynn just gave a different solution for the third type——

Continue to fight, and then think of a way to reverse the situation during the fight.

This kind of opponent is often the most difficult to deal with in battle. You never know what outrageous behavior he will make in the next second, and you will never estimate where his upper limit is.

Especially Battle Madman like Lynn.

I never know what to retreat, and I even get stronger and stronger.

It's outrageous!

Looking at the huge sandpit that Lynn had just smashed out from the single fist, Crocodile couldn't help but browse tightly knit.

Tsk, it’s really troublesome, but why did he come to Alabasta!

Not long ago, Crocodile, who has been pursuing ancient weapons for a long time, finally found some clues.

In that superpower Alabasta, there are clues about one of the ancient weapons, the Dark King.

After receiving the news, Crocodile immediately set off for Alabasta, and as Oka Shichibukai, met Alabasta’s King Cobra in the capital Albana.

Even with the name recognized by the World Government, Cobra still does not trust Crocodile as Pirate, but this is also expected by Crocodile.

In the following days, Crocodile stationed in Alabasta, and went to sea as Oka Shichibukai, and solved Pirate wandering near Alabasta several times, protecting the safety of the people of the kingdom.

Gradually, Crocodile has gained fame in the hearts of the people, and they all know that a great character nicknamed [Crocodile] is protecting them.

And this is exactly one of Crocodile's conspiracies.

He wants to slowly establish his own reputation in Alabasta, raise the royal family little by little, and finally seize the entire country to obtain Alabasta’s deepest secrets——

Ancient weapons, Dark King!

Ten days ago, Crocodile once again went to sea to destroy Pirate, but suddenly lost contact with Alabasta.

When he returned to the coastline, he saw the wall that isolated Alabasta from the world.

"He he he he, it seems that something very interesting has happened!"

There are abnormal things in Alabasta now, and the abnormalities often coexist with opportunities.

With this idea, Crocodile hid the ship nearby and started taking advantage of the night.

He took off the gloves of the right hand and eroded the wall that would be automatically repaired into a large hole by using his dry ability to enter the territory of Alabasta.

Crocodile left the scene as quickly as possible before being spotted by the Flying Pirates patrol.

He is a cautious person, he will not act rashly until he has the overall situation, so he has to hide himself now, so that even if the situation inside Alabasta is very dangerous, he can get out of it.

After returning to Albana, Crocodile learned from Cobra about Golden Lion's proposal to trade dancing fans with him.

Crocodile is keenly aware that this is a good opportunity for him to win the trust of Cobra.

As long as he is trusted by Cobra, his future layout in Alabasta will be more convenient.

So, Crocodile agreed to be one of Cobra's guards to attend the handover meeting with Golden Lion.

Everything is proceeding according to Crocodile's plan, until the man suddenly appears——

Lynn Barek.

The madman who made trouble in the Sabaody Archipelago has now appeared in Alabasta.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, his purpose is impossible besides Dark King!

And now the man is still smiling while walking slowly towards him.

Lynn raised his fist again.

bang!

With a punch, Crocodile immediately dodged with elemental transformation, hitting the fist on the ground, and instantly smashed a big bunker.

Lynn opened his mouth and let out a white breath.

"Unfortunately, I didn't hit it again."

"Enough!"

Crocodile brows tightly knit, growled: "Although I can't procrastinate You, but you can't hit me. If you continue like this, there will be no results. Let us stop!"

"Ah? You are wrong." Lynn eyebrow raised, grinning said with a smile: "I am the only offensive agent. Whether you decide to continue or stop, I have to take care of it all!"

Stepping forward again, once again in a state of conformity Punches.

bang!

The third big hole appeared on the ground, which was even bigger than the first two.

This guy is getting familiar with this move!

Crocodile immediately feels scalp numb.

It was another miss, but Lynn was not in a hurry. After all, opponents of this level like Crocodile were not easy to find, so it would be a pity that you didn't practice a few more moves.

He grinned said with a big smile: "Eight thousand and one, when can you hide?"

"Hoo..."

Crocodile I took a few deep breaths to calm my emotions.

You can't fight anymore, otherwise you can only suffer!

So he pointed to the sky, coldly said: "The transaction is tomorrow, do you want the old bastard in the sky to sit back and become the fisherman who sweeps the benefits?"

What Crocodile said was of course the Golden Lion.

hearing this, Lynn thought for a while and found it to make sense.

This is the end of the matter. Both he and Crocodile understand that the two sides will be indistinguishable for a while. It is not a good choice to meet Golden Lion with all the exhaustion after the war.

"Then let's temporarily truce." Lynn shook his hand, grinning said with a smile: "Look, it's up to me to decide whether to stop the war."

"Hey!"

Crocodile was extremely upset at this time, but for the sake of tomorrow's deal, he could only endure it.

But curiosity still drove him to ask: "Hey, you seem to be very upset with me."

"Almost."

"Why?"

"Because you make me upset."

Lynn moved his arm, recalling what Duto Uncle had said to him.

For our beloved country, we come together and we will be omnipotent.

Lynn couldn't help grinning said with a smile: "Another reminder, this country is far more tenacious than you think."

"Oh? Really?" Crocodile But the same said with a smile: "So you think so."

"What's wrong?"

"He he he he, you are really naive, Lynn Barek."

Crocodile put on his fur coat again, lit a cigar in his mouth, and softly said with a smile: "There are things in this world that can’t be solved with a fist. ."

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Then let you go."

Lynn Shrugged, after walking a few steps, he turned back and reminded: "Speaking of which, I won the first round, and I gave you a little bit in the second round, which is a tie, so I will win the total!"

hearing This, Crocodile is not only not angry, but laughed heartily.

Laughter resounded throughout the desert.

……

The next day, the agreed trading time is in the afternoon.

However, just after breakfast, Lynn was called into the palace by Icarem and said that there was an urgent matter to discuss.

When he came to the palace, Lynn found that besides Cobra, Bell of Falcon, Jaka of Jackal, and even Crocodile were called here.

In other words, here are all the people who participated in the trade fair this afternoon!

"What's the matter for calling us? King Your Majesty." Bell asked aloud.

Cobra's face was gloomy at this time, and he browsed tightly knit and said: "There is a problem with the goods."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

Icarim on the side added: "A hundred tons of dancing fans were damaged in transit. It is too late to re-manufacture."

Lynn glanced aside. Crocodile, frowned: "Is it because of natural disasters like sandstorms?"

"No."

Cobra shook the head, "because of a rumor."

Hearing this, Lynn turned his gaze to Crocodile abruptly, and found that the latter was also looking at him.

At the same time, Crocodile posed a few lips, saying--

"The third round, it's started."
