People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

Under the cover of night, Kobra finally climbed onto the high sand dunes under the guidance of the guide who had finally captured him.

However, what appeared in front of him was an ordinary desert, with neither gold shining in it nor the group of gold diggers who were so fanatical that they lost their minds.

"What about people?"

Not only did Cobra have such doubts, but even the guide who brought them here had countless question marks in his mind.

The guide himself was also a gold digger, but he felt that his tools were not good enough, so he left the desert early and planned to go back to Algiers to get a handy tool and continue to pan for gold.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Kobra on the way back.

"Where are the people? I've only been gone for less than half an hour..."

The guide stood on the dune in a daze and murmured to himself. His unfocused eyes seemed to see the shadow of the dune under his feet under the projection of the moonlight, madly rushing towards him with claws and teeth.

what……

There was a scream, and Kobra and Crocodile watched in surprise as the guide held his head in his hands and ran around with a look of horror on his face.

"Dead! All dead! Everyone is dead! You... you will die too... die! Die! Die! Ah..."

The guide yelled angrily over and over again and pointed his finger at Kobra and Crocodile standing beside him. Finally, his foot slipped and rolled down the high slope of the dune, and he fell to the bottom of the dune, where he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

"Go get him back!"

Staring at Kobra, his face was extremely ugly. This desert was very strange. Not only were the people who came to gold panning disappeared, but even the guide went crazy without warning.

Just as the guards carefully slid down the sand dune, the yellow sand around the guide's body kept surging like a living creature, wrapping the guide's entire body, leaving a slightly raised bulge in place.

"This……"

Afterwards, in everyone's astonished eyes, the position of the small bulge gradually returned to its original state, but the guide mysteriously disappeared in front of everyone.

It feels as if there is some kind of monster hiding in the desert below, waiting for prey to step into its territory.

Kobra's face was ashen, and suddenly a horrifying thought came to his mind: "Could it be that all the people who came here to prospect for gold were also devoured by the monsters in this desert?"

Just when Cobra was secretly frightened, the yellow sand under his feet suddenly loosened, and Cobra's body suddenly lost balance and he was about to follow in the footsteps of his guide.

"His Majesty!"

However, with a cry of surprise, the captain of the escort team, Ikarem, stepped forward and grabbed Kobra.

Just when the two of them were still frightened, Crocodile standing next to them sighed slightly and said helplessly: "If I had known this, I should have asked Icarim to go down with Kobra."

what! ?

Hearing what Crocodile said, Icarem immediately realized that the accident at Kobra's feet was not an accident but the fault of Crocodile, a user with the ability of the Shasha Fruit.

"Crocodile, you..."

Kobra also reacted immediately, but he was still a little unbelievable and looked at Crocodile with a shocked expression.

After all, the other party is a hero who protects Alabasta and is deeply trusted by the people and himself!

Why did he suddenly act so cruelly on himself?

"Tell me where the historical text is that records the location of Hades."

Now that Crocodile has been exposed, he no longer conceals it, and his body turns into a ball of yellow sand, trapping the two of them.

The guards nearby saw that Crocodile suddenly turned against the king. Although they found it difficult to accept it, their good qualities allowed them to quickly react and pointed the dark muzzle of the spear in their hands at Crocodile.

"Let His Majesty the King and Captain Ikarem go!"

The guards of Crocodile knew the strength of Crocodile very well, and everyone looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, the king and captain were captured, and they had no way out.

"Guhahahaha..."

Crocodile laughed loudly, not paying attention to these guards at all.

The guards were furious and looked at each other and were about to attack Crocodile. Icarim, who was tightly strangled by the sand, endured the severe pain in his body and shouted to stop:

"Stop... stop... you are no match for him. You will die. All of you, stand down!"

He cast a disdainful glance at the guards. Seeing that Ikarem's drink had taken effect, he ignored them and turned back to stare at Kobra, who was gritting his teeth and persisting.

"How are you thinking? Just tell me the whereabouts of the historical text and I will let you go."

"I didn't expect you did all this for historical texts."

Kobra glared at Crocodile with hatred, feeling extremely regretful that he would believe this person with evil intentions.

"Answer me! Otherwise, they will all be buried with you!" Crocodile's words made Kobra turn pale. He sighed helplessly and was about to open his mouth to reveal the whereabouts of the historical text.

"His Majesty!"

Icarim interrupted Kobra with an angry shout: "Even if I die, I can't tell him the whereabouts of the historical text!"

"But compared to historical texts, I hope that my people can live happily." Kobra shook his head and made up his mind.

Hearing their conversation, the guards looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that they would become Crocodile's bargaining chip to blackmail the king into submission.

Although the meaning of the historical text is not clear, since it is something that even Crocodile, the King of the Shichibukai, dreams of, it must be also very important to the kingdom.

"Your Majesty! Don't tell him the whereabouts of the historical text!"

One of the guards yelled and then jumped up, jumping off the sand dune and rolling to the place where the guide was swallowed before.

"you……"

Cobra's eyes were split open, and before he could say a word, several more guards shouted: "Dying to protect historical texts is exactly what we are pursuing!"

"you!!"

As if to deny Kobra a chance to speak, the guards all jumped into the sea of ​​death sand one after another.

After the last guard was swallowed by the sea of ​​sand, two lines of hot tears flashed from the corners of Cobra's eyes, his head lowered and his mouth closed tightly.

When the No. 1 guard jumped down, Crocodile knew that it was impossible for him to learn the whereabouts of Hades from Kobra's mouth. Since the guards behind him wanted to die, he was too lazy to stop them. .

Throw Kobra and Icarim off the sand dune and watch them being swallowed by the sea of ​​sand little by little.

Anyway, Kobra is not the only one in this country who knows the whereabouts of historical texts. After his death, there is also the queen of the Nefertari clan. Nefertari Titi obtained information about Hades from her. the same.

Looking at the calm sand sea again, Crocodile sneered: "Since you are all dead, it seems that I have to be the hero of Alabasta for a while longer."
