Crossing Pirates: Becoming the Strongest in the World

On the edge of the Kingdom of Alabasta, an adventure concerning the fate of the kingdom is unfolding.

Luffy and his companions, with firm belief, embarked on a journey to Crocodile's lair.

They have only one goal - to defeat this evil anti-Crocodile and bring peace to Alabasta.

"All right! Next, we will go directly to Crocodile's lair. As long as we defeat Crocodile, it will be much easier to deal with the rebels!"

Luffy's smile was full of confidence and determination, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Yes, let's go together to defeat Baroque Works! Save the Kingdom of Alabasta!"Nami's voice was sonorous and powerful, and her eyes flashed with determination.

So, the group set out on the journey. However, just as they were about to approach Crocodile's lair, an unexpected discovery made their hearts rise to their throats.

"Luffy, look, there seems to be someone in front!"Usopp's voice suddenly sounded, and he pointed at the wind and sand in front and said loudly.

Everyone's heart suddenly tightened. Could this be Crocodile's ambush?

Luffy quickly looked forward, and sure enough, he could vaguely see two figures in the wind and sand.

As they got closer, the outlines of the two people gradually became clear.

Standing in the wind and sand was a middle-aged man, and the other person was Nico Robin, whom they had met once before!

"Straw Hat Boys, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"Just as the Straw Hat Pirates came closer, a voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence around them.

Everyone looked carefully and found that it was the middle-aged man next to Robin who was speaking.

There was a hint of cunning and provocation in his eyes, as if he had anticipated their arrival.

But at this moment, Nicole Robin seemed to be lost in thought.

Her eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions, both worry about the Straw Hat Pirates and confusion about the future.

She didn't know if her choice was right, but at this critical moment, she chose to stand here and face the challenges of the future with the Straw Hat Pirates.

In the roar of the sandstorm, Luffy stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, his brows furrowed, and asked in confusion:

"Who are you? Are you sent by Crocodile to stop us?"

The middle-aged man, Crocodile, took a puff of his cigar, the smoke lingering in the wind and sand, and his laughter was particularly harsh in the strong wind:

""Hahaha...! I am the Crocodile you are looking for, you guys who overestimate your own abilities."

His eyes swept over the members of the Straw Hat Pirates one by one, and finally stopped on Princess Weiwei.

He looked at Princess Weiwei beside him, his eyes full of teasing:"Princess Weiwei, you want to stop this war!"

Princess Weiwei clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with determination:"That's right! I must stop you, the devil, and stop this meaningless war!"

Her voice sounded so clear and firm in the strong wind.

Crocodile's mouth curled up with a sneer:"Hahaha...! Do you think you can do it alone, or do you think they can do it?"

"Don't dream, none of you can get through here today!" His voice was full of ridicule and disdain.

Princess Weiwei did not flinch, she responded firmly:"We can definitely stop you!" Her eyes flashed with determination and courage.

At this moment, Crocodile suddenly moved. He waved his right hand, and a violent gust of sand rolled up instantly, rushing towards Princess Weiwei like a giant dragon.

The speed of the sand was so fast that people had no time to react.

Seeing that the sand was about to surround Princess Weiwei directly, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Princess Weiwei.

It was Xu Haifeng! He waved his hand violently, and a stronger gust of wind flew out of his hand, like a huge palm, directly scattering all the sand that came.

After the sand dissipated, Xu Haifeng's figure appeared clearly in front of everyone.

His eyes were firm and deep, as if he could penetrate all obstacles. He looked at Crocodile, his tone calm and firm:

"Hey! You are looking down on us by attacking us like this, and you are attacking a girl who has no power to fight back. Are you worthy of the title of Shichibukai?"

Crocodile looked at Xu Haifeng, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon regained his composure.

He took a deep puff of his cigar, and the smoke spread again in the wind and sand.

He slowly said,"It seems that you are really capable. However, this is not enough! Today, you all have to stay here!"

As he finished speaking, the surrounding sandstorms became agitated again, as if foreshadowing that a more intense battle was about to begin.

"Hey! Luffy, are you going to go or am I going to go?" Facing the raging sandstorms around him, Xu Haifeng seemed unusually calm. He turned to Luffy and asked.

Luffy hurried over and said excitedly:"I'll do it! I'll do it! It's boring if you go up and kill him in one move. Let me have a good fight with him!"

Xu Haifeng smiled helplessly and said:"Okay! Okay! But you better deal with him quickly, we are in a hurry!"

Luffy rubbed his hands excitedly, looking eager to try. Xu Haifeng silently reminded:"Quick battle, don't play too much." Crocodile looked at the two of them talking to each other, as if they treated him as air, and he couldn't help but get angry and shouted:

"You two have had enough! What do you think of me, Crocodile? Do you think I am some unknown person?"

Xu Haifeng turned his head and looked at the angry Crocodile, smiling innocently:

"Uh! Sorry, I forgot you were still listening here, and I accidentally hurt your little heart. I'm so sorry!"

Crocodile was so angry that his face turned blue, and he roared:"All of you go to hell!"

"Desert - Sunflowers!"

With his angry shout, he pressed his hands hard on the sand where Xu Haifeng and the others were, and a huge quicksand pit suddenly appeared in the desert.

The quicksand pit was like a greedy beast, constantly devouring the sand under their feet.

Seeing that the quicksand was about to swallow up the Straw Hat Pirates, Xu Haifeng acted quickly. He picked up Princess Weiwei, while Zoro held Chopper. They all jumped up together and floated steadily in the air.

They just floated in the air, watching the quicksand pit below continue to expand, as if it was going to swallow up the entire desert.

And Croc Dal stood quietly not far away, motionless like a sculpture. His cold eyes were like cold stars, staring coldly at everything happening in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief and astonishment!

He seemed to have never expected that things would develop to this point, and a strong shock and confusion surged in his heart.

Luffy looked at the quicksand pit below, his eyes flashing with excitement. He clenched his fists, ready for the next battle.

Xu Haifeng silently observed Crocodile's movements on the side. He knew that this battle had just begun.
