Great Pirate Crocodile

Chapter 42
A few days later, Crocodile and his party had already boarded the port. There were only a few senior cadres in the Black Banner Army under his command, and more than a dozen crew members followed.As for the other subordinates, they were sent by Crocodile to establish a temporary base on a small island not far from Sentin Island.

After leaving the port, Crocodile and his party headed all the way to Juba, the famous oasis in Alabasta.Although Alabasta is a desert country, the current Alabasta is a kingdom built on an oasis.It can be seen how rich Alabasta's oasis is and how many people it has raised.

Is it finally out of the oasis?According to the map, passing through this small desert is the famous big oasis in Alabasta - Juba.Oasis-Yuba is where Crocodile wants to be stationed this time.

"Is this the Great Desert? Although I have been to some sandy land before, it is still very different from the desert. I can feel the throbbing of joy from my devil fruit ability! Alabasta is really a god-given home for me .” Crocodile flicked the cigar butt from his mouth and laughed wantonly.

"Oh! Look, is that a camel, and that one is a cactus? It's so big!" The young man Ruo De ran around with his eyes shining. "Cactus, it's so big, can it be eaten?" The young man Ruo De ran to a strange-looking cactus, broke off a short section of the cactus, and tasted it.

The sniper Demps Gale on the side, holding a stack of Alabasta intelligence papers in his hand, compared the strange cactus in front of him, and found the information on the same page of photos.According to the script, he said: "Mesca cactus is a special species of cactus in Alabasta. Local residents often use mesca cactus to make stimulants. If they eat it by mistake, they will produce slight hallucinations." From my own personal experience, I will explain to you what is called "slight hallucinations if you eat it by mistake".I saw that he was already running around and screaming like drunk, and shouting some inexplicable words.

It made Crocodile frowned, and said to Victor who was silent on the side: "Stun him, don't let him lose face again! Snake. (Since Victor ate the snake fruit, Crocodile Dahl and others habitually call him A Snake.)”

"Yes, Mr. Crocodile." Soon, Victor knocked the young man Ruo De unconscious, and he did it cleanly.And Gustav, who followed behind, threw his little brother, Nian Ruo De, on his shoulders.

On the other side, the girl Evie found a few giant lizards, about to prey on a big bird, and saw the big bird lying on the ground and screaming.The girl Evie finally couldn't stand it anymore, and used her fruit ability to drive away this group of giant lizards.

"Ah! What a poor bird, here, this is our delicious food!" The girl Evie took out the packaged food and handed it to the big bird lying on the ground whining.

"Hmm! This lizard is the Santa Dora lizard. Because of its huge size, fangs and sharp claws, it is at the top of the Alabasta desert food chain. So what kind of bird is this bird? Well, I found it, it is called a fraudulent bird. Uh, no." Dempsey Gale reacted and looked at the girl.

"Ah! My package actually pretended to be dead. I was deceived, you hateful bird, I must teach you a lesson next time!" I saw the big bird, which was still lying on the ground whining, instantly revived with full blood, and Taking advantage of the moment when the girl Yiwei lost her mind, she stole the girl's backpack.

"Sand bondage, let's fall!" With Crocodile, of course, this kind of thing will not happen.Although the incident happened suddenly, Crocodile still reacted and knocked down the girl's backpack together with the deceitful bird.

The caught cheating bird wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but was stared at by Victor.Immediately, he didn't dare to make a sound.That's right, no matter how you say it is a spiritual bird, of course it knows how to advance and retreat.

Putting down the intelligence paper in his hand, Dempsey Gale sighed helplessly, "Miss Evie! Although this bird looks harmless, it is a notorious cheater in the desert. There are many desert travelers every year , was deceived by this bird, and lost the items in his hands."

"Ah! I see, Uncle Dempsey!" The girl Evie stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a smile.

"Uncle! I'm just showing my age! Forget it, I don't care about you little girl." His heart was broken when he was called by an uncle, and Demps Gale resolutely let go of this topic.

Along the way, because everyone has never seen desert creatures, they are all very curious to wander around.And every time some unique creature is discovered, everyone watches for the past.Even Ruo De, who was sober, unscrupulously caught those small desert animals to play with.At this time, Demps Gale will explain some desert common sense to them in due course.

It wasn't until everyone arrived in Yuba that they stopped the movements of these curious babies.Juba is worthy of being one of the largest oases in Alabasta.The rich grasslands, and some other green plants, are not inferior to other places in the world.

Moreover, Yuba is not only an oasis, but also the second largest city in Alabasta besides the capital of the kingdom.What greeted his eyes was the prosperity that was incompatible with the desert, which reminded Crocodile that there seemed to be a city in his mind, which was very similar to a place called Loulan.

However, what is given to Crocodile here is more real, what a good place to stay!Unfortunately, this idea was quickly shattered.I saw that the residents of Yuba City, when they saw Crocodile and his party come in, they immediately became arguing, "It's a pirate! I heard from the people at the city hall that it's Shichibukai, but it's also a pirate! How can it be?" Let them enter the city!"

"Yeah! How can you let these pirates enter the city?"

"Get them out."

"Yes, get out."

The residents who were arguing became riots, but fortunately, the people from the city hall sent people to drive them over.After maintaining order, he tactfully proposed to reject the idea of ​​Crocodile and his party stationed in Juba.

Feeling humiliated face to face, Crocodile and his party suddenly became excited.I believe that as long as Crocodile gives an order, they will definitely chop up these guys in front of them. "Slow down, remember what we are here for." Crocodile stopped his men from moving.

Little did they know, his hand was already tightly held under the coat, showing his anger.But on the surface, Crocodile still stopped everyone with a blank expression.

"We're just passing through Yuba! We won't be stationed here. Besides, my joining letter has been submitted to the kingdom, I believe there will be news soon." Crocodile knows how hypocritical his expression is now, but he has to bear it , pretending to be ignorant.

Soon, Crocodile and his party, who were released, left Juba.Everyone was no longer as elated as before, and the atmosphere seemed very depressed.

"Hey, hello! What's wrong with you guys. Hehe!" Crocodile looked at the gang and joked, "Could it be that this is a blow."

Looking back at Yuba, Crocodile smiled at the desert in front of him, "It won't be long before I make this desert a rainy place, and Yuba," Crocodile said with a dark voice The tone said: "I will let Yuba become history and turn it into a bowl of loess."

Crocodile never thought of himself as a magnanimous person, the people of Juba humiliated a big pirate like this.In the past, the killing spree would have started a long time ago.But for the sake of the plan, Crocodile can bear it face to face.But enduring it doesn't mean he won't retaliate, on the contrary, Crocodile will let them get the corresponding punishment.

"People of Juba! Today you drive me away, but tomorrow, you may kneel and beg me to come back. Thieves." Crocodile laughed presumptuously.
