I am a Celestial Dragon!

"Really!!!"

The moment Gawain finished speaking, Cobra's beard stood up with joy.

He quickly stood up and asked Gawain solemnly.

"Gao Wensheng, can we finally set off!"

"It's indeed possible!"

Gawain nodded slightly.

After getting the accurate answer, Kobra took a long breath.

"This...this is really great!"

After the words fell, Cobra hugged Vivi excitedly, and Ikarem, who was standing behind them, also shed tears of excitement.

It’s been six days, it’s been six days. Do you know how they spent these six days?

During these six days, they enjoyed the big fish and meat on Gawain's boat.

But no matter the fish or meat, they couldn't taste any flavor at all!

As a responsible king, leaving his people alone in the country when a rebellion occurs puts too much pressure on Cobra!

Although Kobra knew that he came out to ask for help, as for his people, he didn't dare to think about what they would think of him at this time!

Even if he had left a message to go out to ask for help, but the people had rebelled, would they still believe that the king really went out to ask for help?

The more he thought about it, the more excited and excited Cobra's expression became at this moment.

Just like novels that are intended to be pretentious and slap in the face, they will always be welcomed by quite a few readers.

Kobra has already thought of everything that will happen next!

When all his people felt that he had abandoned the country and ran away directly abroad.

But he returned as a king, with the majestic Black Bird and the reputation of Tamsui that could solve the urgent need.

Just thinking about that scene makes Kobra so excited that he almost explodes!

And in Kobra's excited expression, the Blackbird slowly moved according to Gawain's order.

People who went to Sky Island and collected supplies in the forest of Gaya Island gradually returned, and one small black bird after another returned to the cabin of the big black bird.

Even Bell, who had not yet officially joined but had already begun to learn bird raising from Xia Qi and Lu Qi, felt the atmosphere of the Black Bird that was gradually becoming more active.

Three and a half hours later, the huge Black Bird finally started moving. After all, the Black Bird was too big, and its sailing speed and preparation speed were countless times slower than those of small ships.

So much so that the sailing order issued by Gawain in the morning took three hours to prepare before finally officially setting off.

When Gawain and his party left, the Sandia remnants and Kulikate's Ape Mountain United Army all stood on the shore to say goodbye.

While bidding farewell to Gawain, the great warrior of Sandia, Weipa, rubbed his head in confusion.

He couldn't help but ask the people around him.

"Lord Gawain just left like this?

Does he trust us so much?

I thought they would continue to rule us!

They even left a considerable portion of their gold behind! "

Speaking of this, Weipa couldn't help but look towards the center of the newly built Golden Town in the distance.

In the center of this small town under construction, it was the golden bell that Gawain finally rang after four hundred years!

Looking at the clock, and the materials around the golden clock that were processed into gold foil, prepared to be used to gild the golden town.

Weipa took a deep breath.

"How broad-minded is this gentleman? He just met us a few times and gave us a few orders, but he can be so trusting of us!"

"What are you worried about?"

Kulikat beside Weipa smiled and waved to the departing Black Bird, and he said to Weipa calmly.

“Don’t forget, our two teams are not the only ones on Gaya Island.

Lord Gawain sent one of his squad captains, the one named Gabra, to maintain order on Gaya Island.

In fact, what they mainly look after is the gold on this island.

Although they need to be careful, most of them are tourists who are recent and coming to Gaya Island.

But when they look at the tourists, don’t they look after us?

What's more, Lord Gawain has set up patrol routes on Gaya Island leading to Long Ring Island and the Capital of Seven Waters. From time to time, other members of the Black Ice Platform will wander among our islands!

Lord Gawain is not the broad-minded fool you think he is, he is just kind enough not to put pressure on us.

He threw all the pressure on his land. In his land, as long as we don't violate his rules, we can all live well.

Think about it this way, wow, we have really met a rare benevolent king! "

…

…

…

At the same time, Alabasta.

Since King Kobra left with Princess Vivi and the three main captains of the guard more than ten days ago.

Crocodile has too much burden on his shoulders.

He is actually responsible for the security and defense of the entire country of Alabasta after Cobra leaves!

Just ridiculous….

…

A long time ago, when Crocodile was less than twenty-four years old, he traveled all over the world, passed through the Grand Line, and finally came to the New World and stood in front of Whitebeard!

Just like every young pirate's dream, in addition to wanting to become the Pirate King, Crocodile also wants to defeat the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!

But it is a pity that Crocodile did not awaken any special ability that could reverse the situation of the battle in the face of Teacher Bai's air shock and sea shock.

First, he didn't learn to predict the future, second, he didn't learn how to flow, and third, he didn't learn to dominate.

Poor Crocodile, he never met any good teacher worthy of praise in the first half of his life...

At the same time, the fruit he ate was just a simple rustling fruit.

Even though half of his head was smashed by Whitebeard, he finally survived with the help of the Demon King.

He also failed to awaken his nature-type Shasha Fruit into the animal-type Human Fruit and the phantom beast desert emperor form...

In short, after that, Crocodile's dream in the first half of his life was completely shattered!

He had not been able to awaken any special abilities, but after seeing the strength of monster-level powerhouses like Whitebeard.

He finally understood why a strong man of that level was called a monster!

His three-color domineering power was flawless, and no matter what kind of ability he had, it was impossible to cause any harm to them before his energy was exhausted!

Even relying on his excellent sight and color, Crocodile would have a hard time hitting even with a body as big as Whitebeard.

Every monster-level powerhouse is comparable to a real war machine. They are all monsters that can fight for days and nights without necessarily getting tired.

And before they lost their strength, each of their blows was far more powerful than the Shichibukai-level ultimate move!

When he had no power to fight back and was almost killed instantly, he lost to Whitebeard more than ten times in a row, and was even humiliated by Whitebeard's words about accepting him as his son...

Crocodile inevitably felt desolate.

In this way, he went from a brat who just got the Shasha Fruit and thought he was invincible, to a frustrated middle-aged man who was covered in scars, lost one hand, and lost his original dream.

After that, Crocodile really didn't know how to continue to improve himself. He knew a little domineering and a little knowledge, but he was far from being self-taught!

At the same time, his proud character did not allow him to humble himself and ask for advice from others.

In this way, after being defeated by Whitebeard, Crocodile was in a state of frustration for several years.

Until he found clues to Pluto!

Just when he was wandering around the Kingdom of Alabasta in confusion with his remaining defeated soldiers who were forgiven by Whitebeard.

He learned of an inner Alabasta legend.

It is said that there is a historical text hidden under the palace of Alabasta!

Many people know about the historical text. After all, it is so big and placed in many eye-catching places.

In addition, no one in the world can understand the text of history. At least after O'Hara was destroyed, there are almost no scholars in the world who understand the text of history.

Therefore, many historical texts are spread around the world in the form of legends.

If it were ordinary people, after hearing the legend in the historical text, they would probably laugh and ignore it.

The attitude of people in the pirate world towards historical texts is probably similar to the attitude towards the cultural relics of Sanxingdui in the world before Gawain traveled through.

On the one hand, there is a legend that this cultural relic looks like an astronaut, and that cultural relic looks like an angry bird.

But from time to time, no one would take it seriously, and people would just listen and have fun.

Most people in the pirate world just read historical texts for fun.

It’s not that they are ignorant, it’s that all the information they have access to tells them that historical texts are just fun.

Anyone who says that the historical text makes sense is just a boring conspiracy theory.

Therefore, if ordinary people hear the legend of Alabasta, they will not take it to heart at all.

But at that time, Crocodile happened to be in a state of emergency and sought medical treatment!

Especially when Crocodile heard that the historical text within Alabasta was the historical text guarded by Neferutali, a family descended from twenty kings, and related to the ancient weapon Pluto.

Crocodile suddenly came up with the idea of ​​​​a historical text!

Because in Crocodile's view, training alone can no longer make up for the strength gap between him and Whitebeard.

In his view, people are born unequal, and the talent they are born with almost determines the upper limit of each person's strength.

Just like even a strong man like him who had eaten the natural fruit couldn't understand why Whitebeard could be so strong that it was unreasonable.

So Crocodile set his sights on Pluto, the king of Hades, and at the same time, he also focused on wisdom and strategy!

Since your strength is not as good as others, then be smarter than others and use your brain to eliminate the gap in strength!

In this way, fourteen years ago Crocodile resolutely disbanded his pirate group with only the remaining defeated soldiers!

Even though his remaining crew missed him terribly, he, who had lost his dream of being a pirate because of Whitebeard, only felt that his weak subordinates were a burden!

In this way, the Desert King Pirates, who were famous in the Western Sea and the Grand Route, completely disappeared from history.

After disbanding the Desert King Pirates, Crocodile thought about everything and found what he was most satisfied with...

A way for him to obtain Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, or even simply take over the entire Kingdom of Alabasta!

He named his method the Utopia Plan!

So starting fourteen years ago, Crocodile, who was alone, completely settled in Alabasta!

At the beginning, the people of Alabasta were still very afraid of Crocodile as a pirate, but as the contact time became longer and longer, Crocodile's image as a good man was almost universally welcomed by the civilians of Albana.

At the same time, Crocodile also used his own efforts to completely solve the thief disaster caused by the great pirate era in Alabasta!

In an instant, Crocodile, a retired pirate, brought news of peace to Alabasta, which spread across the seas of the past, and even reached the World Conference eleven years ago.

It was at that world meeting that King Kobra expressed his appreciation for prodigal pirates like Crocodile!

At the same time, King Kobra also raised an issue at the World Conference that year. He called on all countries to recruit good pirates with good personalities and styles close to adventurers as much as possible.

Kobra believes that this kind of move will allow more pirates like Crocodile who accidentally embarked on the pirate path to recover from their lost ways and become a shield for each participating country.

Regarding Kobra's proposal, 70% of the kings from the 50 countries participating in the World Conference expressed their approval.

They don't really have a good impression of pirates, they just feel that if their country can be more stable, then they can apply less for aid from the world government and pay less money from the sky!

So, when the news reached the ears of Wulaoxing, Wulaoxing made a decision immediately!

The World Conference over there hasn't even ended yet, and the Shichibukai policy has been officially introduced!

That is, eleven years before Gawain's arrival, Crocodile became the number one Shichibukai in the world with a benchmark image!

Many people may think that the Shichibukai is a helpless act because the world government lacks the force to suppress pirates.

Or maybe the Shichibukai is a major decision made by the world government to divide the pirates and make them consume each other.

But in fact, the Shichibukai is a policy that prevents pirates from returning to a stable life through the channels of the joining countries!

After the introduction of the Shichibukai policy, old pirates living in seclusion in various countries around the world also received a wave of assassinations.

The Five Old Stars want to tell the pirates in the entire sea that even if you want to wash your hands in a golden basin, you must obtain the position of the Shichibukai through the channels of the World Government, or you must live in seclusion under the surveillance of the World Government!

The participating countries cannot be the backing force for the reclusive pirates!

Just like Rayleigh also wants to live in the Chambord Islands under the nose of the World Government...

The Five Old Stars will not give the franchised countries any chance to grow. Even their possibility of wooing pirates has been taken away by the Five Old Stars.

When the Shichibukai's order was first promulgated, the Five Old Stars did not give the Shichibukai such great rights as they do now. At that time, the Shichibukai was actually only equivalent to a gold medal for immunity from death and an iron coupon for the alchemy book.

And Crocodile, the first Shichibukai in the world, became a good gentleman among pirates and the winner of the little red flower in kindergarten.

He even became... Alabasta's national hero! ! !

Even before Kobra left Alabasta and went to Gaya Island to see Gawain, he, the king, had a special meeting with Crocodile.

As a national hero, Crocodile, who had protected Alabasta for fourteen years and defeated more than 800 pirate groups, had long been recognized by King Kobra and the common people across the country.

Therefore, after Kobra left, Crocodile was actually in charge of Alabasta...

How funny!

But it sounds funny, but in fact, Crocodile did really well.

He rushed to Juba immediately and solved the first civil strife in Alabasta under the watchful eyes of all civilians.

Accompanied by cheers as a national hero, Crocodile returned to his residence.

Sitting on the sofa, listening to the sounds around him, he showed a proud smile.

This is his plan, he is going to use his identity as a hero to succeed Kobra and take charge of the future Alabasta!

As long as he continues to let the drought continue and continue to smear Kobra!

One day, he will go from helping Kobra suppress the rebellion today to leading the rebel army to capture Albana and end the Neferutali family's rule over Alabasta!

As long as more people recognize him, he will definitely succeed!

This is Crocodile’s utopia plan!
