I'm not really Crocodile

Rosen didn't think there was anything wrong with admitting defeat. After all, the results were almost predictable, but if the fight really went on, it would not be so easy for Ace to win against himself who had the advantage of land.

This battle can only be regarded as a sparring, not a real all-out battle, whether it is for Rosen or Ace.

"I won't fight anymore." Ace was confused. He was fighting vigorously, but why did he give up?

"I can't beat you." Rosen said simply.

"I can't see. Your attack just now was too perfect, but you still don't know how to be domineering?" Ace said this, which made Rosen's face turn red. He couldn't answer it.

I am also very desperate. After Lao Sha lost to your father, his will was depressed, and he only wanted to rely on foreign things to improve his combat power.

I didn't expect that he had lived in vain for so many years and could not even compare to Ace. Of course Ace meant no harm, but he was just wondering why Crocodile didn't use Haki once in the battle just now, right?

Hence the above doubts

It stands to reason that with Crocodile's aptitude and age, learning to be domineering is a matter of course, but unfortunately, Rosen really doesn't know it. Of course, for Rosen, this is only temporarily.

Speaking of age, Crocodile's body should not be young, although he feels that as long as he has a surging vitality, he feels stronger than his young self.

I just don’t know that this man has reached middle age and has no partner. This is an older leftover man. And if you think about it carefully, almost all the middle-aged and powerful pirates are single. Could it be said that the more single they are, the stronger they are?

Rosen's thoughts suddenly diverged, but after thinking about it, it seems that there are many combinations of "beasts" and beauties in the world of pirates, and probably old age does not affect finding a partner, as long as the strength is strong enough.

Seeing that Rosen didn't answer, Ace smiled, but didn't take it seriously. He could sense the good and evil of others, perhaps because of his domineering aptitude, and he could feel that Rosen didn't have any malice.

"After a fight, I'm really hungry. Is there any town nearby?"

"Yes, it's not far away, let's go together, it happens to be time for dinner." Rosen pointed out the location.

"You give me money"

"No problem." Of course, Rosen has no objection. Although he doesn't particularly like Ace, he doesn't dislike him either. He doesn't plan to change anything. Now the plot is unknown. In the future, everything is unknown. .

But that's what makes it all the more interesting.

Today the tavern ushered in two big Buddhas. Many taverns often have bounty hunters wandering around, so most of the taverns are full of various wanted posters.

But now these two people, one is Shichibukai who has stopped offering bounties, and the other is a big pirate with a bounty of 5.5 million Baileys, and he is also under the command of the world-famous Whitebeard, who is famous enough to scare away all the bounty hunters in the tavern Most of it.

After a full meal, Ace bid farewell to Rosen. Naturally, Rosen would not be stupid enough to say that your brother Luffy is coming to beat me up.

Meeting by chance, that's all.

"You still need to work harder to strengthen yourself. Well, this is the change in the strengthening data after the fight with Ace. The fruit proficiency increased by 2 points, but the physical skills did not increase." Rosen looked at the things in his mind. Strengthen the system and feel happy.

It turns out that as long as you continue to use your ability to fight or practice, you can increase your proficiency. That would be great, and the visible results of your hard work have given Rosen a lot of motivation.

Human Enhancement Attributes:

Name: Shah Crocodile Rosen

Ability: Those with the rustling fruit ability have not yet awakened, intermediate proficiency: 6021000

Physical Skills: Intermediate Proficiency: 3001000

Dominance: None Proficiency: 0100

Swordsmanship: Elementary Proficiency: 100300

Strengthening times: 1

Effect: Defense x2, experience pack x1

The next strengthening condition: Defeat the strong with more than 1 million Bailey bounty strength.

Reward: Speed ​​x2

Although no other attributes have been increased, this is enough. As long as you practice more, Rosen believes that physical skills can also be improved slowly.

Moreover, if this strong man who defeated the 1 million bounty is completed, his speed will double again. It is a pity that he really does not have the strength to defeat Ace at present, otherwise he may be able to complete this task.

As for swordsmanship, one should pay attention to talent, not to mention whether to practice or not, but physical skills and ability are the main research directions of Crocodile at present.

But I really hope that one day enhanced attributes will appear: Devil Fruit Capacity x1, something like this, that would be great.

"Host, continue to work hard to become stronger. Devil Fruit capacity x1, x2 is not a dream." A disembodied voice suddenly remembered in Rosen's mind.

"I, Cao, can actually do this?" Rosen was immediately shocked and became even more excited. This strengthening system is really powerful. However, no matter how Rosen asked later, the system did not give any further information on how to achieve the goal. The conditions for the effect are gone.

Even so, it was enough to make Rosen think about it. If he was given another Devil Fruit, it would be difficult to choose what to eat.

"Uh haha" But this did not affect Rosen's happy mood.

"Ah, it seems our boss is in a good mood today." Robin suddenly appeared next to Rosen. With her fruit ability, it couldn't be easier to find someone in a city.

"Are you ready for the voyage?" Rosen asked without refuting. After all, he was really in a good mood.

"Everything is ready, but there is only one ship. Are you sure you don't want to bring the remaining staff of Baroque Works with you? All the senior agents have also been brought with you." Robin handed Rosen a small notebook, which recorded the details of this trip. List of people and simple background.

Sure enough, Robin is careful in doing things, Luffy, don't blame me for taking away your Robin, there is no one with profound knowledge, I don't know how long I, Luo Sen, can live in the sea.

In fact, judging from the reality, it can’t be said to be robbed. After all, Robin has always been my secretary before this. No, I can’t feel guilty for destroying the plot. .

As for the troubles that may come later, if Robin hadn't been with Luffy, hadn't gone to the Water City, and hadn't been threatened, would he still have been arrested and taken to the Island of Justice?

There is a high probability that it will not, even if it will, Rosen has been mentally prepared since he decided to bring Robin with him.

He will not regret the choice he made.

"No more. From now on, we will mainly take the elite route. No matter how many weak people are, they can't stand up to other people's domineering arrogance. It's of no use." Rosen is determined not to be too weak, as long as there are a few people left, it will be enough. And calling is also a time-consuming thing.

But he opened the book that Robin handed to him and took a look at it. At a rough glance, there were at least ten or twenty people, not including .20. .1 These people: "Why are you bringing so many people? Didn't I tell you to keep it simple when sailing?"

"Isn't this simple enough? Boss, I think there are hundreds of people in the entire Baroque Works. These 18 sailors are only responsible for the most basic work. In addition to chefs, handymen, boatmen, and doctors, the other crew members are just enough to take turns. The number of good ships." Robin was slightly surprised.

Well, Rosen admits that he is too naive, maybe it is a preconceived notion, he always thinks that every pirate team is similar to straw hats, actually think about it, a ship that really sails at sea must consider rotation Problems, food and diet problems, even physical health problems, ship damage and maintenance problems.

These are hard arms and must never be lacking, otherwise navigation will easily cause problems.

The people and knowledge involved are not easy. Just look at the Straw Hats. Although they are all talents, even so, there are often food shortages. Being on duty alone in the middle of the night is often something Zoro does not consider comprehensively.

So basic manpower is still needed.

"Don't worry, boss. There are basically no Devil Fruit users among this crew. This way, if we encounter a storm at sea, we won't end up being wiped out just because we are all people with abilities." Robin asked He said while holding his chin in thought.

"Don't be so shady, think of something brighter." When Robin said this, Rosen thought of Robin in a very vivid way, .1, .5, .Valentine's Day, and the five of him, holy shit. They are all capable people, so they always feel very dangerous.

Well, it is also necessary to recruit some non-capable people.

"Haha" Robin smiled lightly after listening to Rosen's words, but didn't take it to heart. She was curious about what happened to Crocodile.

A person's thoughts can be hidden, but a person's temperament and emotions are easy to understand in a few words. He is really different. Why, as a person with a strong thirst for knowledge, Robin really wants to All his secrets were dug out.

I didn't know that Rosen had told her the truth long ago, but she didn't believe it.

"Then leave tomorrow morning."

"By the way boss, the ship is a new one, it hasn't been named yet, look."

"What do you think"

"The Darkness."

"Forget it, let's call it Senluo Dawn." Thinking of Robin's black-bellied nature, he gave up the idea of ​​asking her to help with the name.

Sen is Lawson's Sen, Law is Lawson's Law, well, it's okay.

"Ok."
