Above the Pirate King

Chapter 252 So Familiar
Looking at the desert port in front of him, feeling the heat and drought in the air, Crocodile couldn't help showing a satisfied expression on his face, and laughed loudly, "Goo ha ha ha! Alabasta, here I come again!"

The climate and environment here are simply the most powerful home field for him, and he really likes it!
However, seeing this port, he couldn't help but think of that nightmare back then.
As soon as I logged in, someone took a sea building stone and paste it on my face!

Being coerced into sailing!
The ship was washed up into the sky by a huge current!
Falling from a height of several thousand meters!

As various unbearable memories flashed through Crocodile's mind one by one, the expression on his face gradually became heavy, but then, he couldn't help showing a look of rejoicing!

Because, he is not dead!

Good luck!

Although he fell into the sea from a height of several thousand meters, and it was raining and unable to use the fruit ability, but fortunately, a naval ship happened to pass by at that time, so he survived!

Of course, it was also fortunate that he didn't have a bounty on him at the time!
Afterwards, he was sent by the navy to the Whiskey Mountain, where he recuperated for a few months and recruited some manpower before starting again!
And his goal is Alabasta!
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is not daring to face failure!
So even though he failed to log in here last time, he decided to log in again this time!
"Boss, look!"

At this time, behind him, an old man with white hair, sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, glasses, a sweater, and a revolver in his waist, walked up to Crocodile, pointed at the ships beside him, and looked There was a flash of greed!
Looking at the 60-year-old man in front of him, Crocodile's face was full of black lines.

If possible, he didn't want to recruit such an old man!

But no way!

Talent is hard to recruit!
He had been preparing for a full year before he could find the navigator, ship doctor, crew, etc. he wanted!
But those were all dead after being washed up into the sky by the huge ocean current!

He is the only one left!

It is very difficult and troublesome to recruit again!

In the few months since he was at Whiskey Mountain, he has only recruited a dozen crew members who are not comparable to before, but barely qualified.

Among them, navigator, as the most important role in the great channel, is even more difficult to recruit. In the past few months, he has interviewed more than ten interviews one after another, and finally only this old man is suitable!
This old man with shaking hands is called Jack!
Well, it's a very vulgar name. There are too many people named this in this world, almost one in every few hundred people!
But the name is vulgar, but the people are not vulgar!
He was also a navigator who went to the second half of the great channel when he was young!
Later, due to various reasons, the pirate group he belonged to was wiped out by a more powerful pirate group, and he escaped with the leftover property of the pirate group alone!

After that, he fled back to the first half of the Great Channel, and then lived in Whiskey Mountain!
And the reason why he accepted Crocodile's solicitation this time is not only because of his extravagance in the past 30 years, which led to his wallet bottoming out and preparing to make another vote, but also because of the strength and potential of Crocodile, a natural fruit ability user. reason!

He and Crocodile can be said to be bastards looking at Mung Bean, and they fell in love with each other!
Crocodile needs an experienced navigator, even if the navigator is not strong enough now, and Parkinson, it doesn't matter, anyway, what he wants is the navigator's experience!

Jack also just wants to do another vote for retirement, and Crocodile, who has potential and strength, is naturally his first choice. With such a captain, at least safety is guaranteed!
Although, when he was young, besides being a navigator, he was also a well-known gunman, but now that he is old and has Parkinson's disease, he can't even hold a gun steadily, and his combat effectiveness is almost non-existent. For him now, whether the captain is strong or not, and whether he can guarantee his safety are more important!
Crocodile looked at Jack and followed the direction of his fingers.

Well. A 200-meter yacht!

Compared with this ship, Crocodile's current 20-meter-long warship snatched from other pirates is like a grandfather and grandson!
But it's nothing, he saw this before entering the port, and he wasn't surprised by this huge monster. After all, there are many strange ships in this world. Although 200 meters is big, it is not the biggest!

After that, he saw the mermaid and murloc by the railing of the ship!

He doesn't care about the murlocs, he's seen them before, except that they are stronger than normal people and stronger in water, nothing special!

but mermaid
Suddenly, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes!
He knew that as long as a mermaid was beautiful, it would be worth hundreds of millions of Baileys!

However, in an instant, he suppressed his greed.

Although Crocodile is a pirate, and a cruel pirate, he also has principles!

He can't do something like this slave trade.

at this time.

Another person appeared on the railing, a boy in golden armor with his eyes closed!
Shocked!

Crocodile looked at Shaka, and he was stunned. There was a trace of cold sweat on his face, and his eyes revealed extreme panic!
He is very familiar with that kind of armor!
After that time, he deliberately inquired about related news!
So, now he understood the identity of the other party almost instantly!

"Boss, do you want to vote for him? Mermaids are at least hundreds of millions! Especially the mermaid with light blue long hair, so beautiful, it should be worth more than other mermaids, and this ship looks very expensive, With this boat, it’s good whether it’s for sale or for your own use! This time, if we do it this time, we can earn at least 20 billion!” Jack looked at Crocodile who was stunned suddenly, and couldn’t help asking.

As soon as Jack spoke, Crocodile knew that something was wrong!
Because the boy on the railing is gone!

next moment!
"boom!"

Jack flew upside down and hit the mast.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

With a loud crash, the mast fell down.

"Boom!"

The mast hit the ship with a loud bang.

At the same time, Jack, who hit the mast, also bounced out of the mast, lying on the ground, with a fist-sized blood hole in his stomach, and the blood hole continued to bleed, but he didn't scream or howl, but There was no sound at all!

At some point, Shaka appeared in front of them, with blood still dripping from his right hand!

"Crocodile?" Shaka looked at Crocodile and asked indifferently.

"Gulong!"

Crocodile couldn't help swallowing, sweating coldly!

Although Shaka didn't open his eyes, the overwhelming aura directly overwhelmed Crocodile, making him a little out of breath.

How to do?
Crocodile now has nothing else to dream of!
If he doesn't solve the current problem, he will be planted in this port again!

It was even worse than last time, last time at least I got off the boat, and the land I set foot on, this time I didn't even get off the boat!
Just a moment!

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Crocodile's mind, and many solutions appeared in his mind, but in the end he was rejected one by one by himself!

the reason is simple!
His current strength does not support his approach at all!
In the end, he had only the last way left, passively accepting the fate given by others!
As for resistance?

That is death!

Although his current strength is stronger than a few months ago, he is not much stronger. A few months ago, he was pushed to the ground without even making a single move. a bit!
But what's the use of doing it all at once?

Still not dead?

On the other side, looking at Crocodile who was thinking in front of him, Shaka had no interest in spending time with him.

"Snapped!"

A Hailoushi handcuffs were stuck on Crocodile's face before he could react.

It feels so familiar!
This was Crocodile's first thought!

I seem to be planted again?

It was Crocodile's second thought!

Still planted in the same place!

Well, even worse, even the boat didn't get off!
His third and fourth thought followed.

Then, before he had time to think about it, his body softened and he lost all his strength!
Fortunately, this is not the first time for him, so he can still maintain his basic mobility in Hailoushi, and he didn't get down!
