Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Is there an inexplicable dryness in Alabasta? It seems that the crocodile can't sit still. Also, with that person, the interpretation of the historical text will not be a problem."

In early autumn, Nurkic received news from the adjutants of each detachment in the first half of the Great Channel. He immediately reported the news to Schuyler.

Skyler looked at the report in his hand and muttered to himself. The report compiled by Nurkic mentioned that throughout the summer this year, except for the capital, there was not a single drop of rain in Alabasta.

This plunged Alabasta, which was already suffering from drought and lack of harvest, into chaos.

But fortunately they have their rainland hero, Sand Crocodile Crocodile. Facing this unusual drought, Crocodile not only took out all the food stored in his rainland.

Even last year's profit from the casino in Rainland was used to purchase food and clean water, and these supplies were sent to various cities in Alabasta for free.

Drought is definitely not a rare thing in Alabasta. After all, there is drought all year round, and one or two cities have no rain all year round. It is not really a special situation.

Therefore, even in such a special situation this year, the Navy only suddenly realized after the entire summer had passed that it had not rained throughout the entire summer, which was extremely unusual.

After noticing this, they suddenly became alert. Perhaps this was what Nurkic had told them before about what might happen in Alabasta.

When this information was placed in front of Skyler, she instantly thought of Robin, the O'Hara surviving scholar who had the ability to interpret historical texts, whom she met in the City of Spring Queen last year.

Skyler has always known that the reason why Crocodile was hiding in that place in Alabasta was simply for the so-called ancient weapon Pluto, trying to use that thing to make up for his failure.

But Skyler has never taken action against Crocodile. The first reason is that Crocodile helped her, even when she was at her most depressed and dangerous.

The second is that Skyler does not have any evidence. After all, in the eyes of the people of Alabasta and many navy, Crocodile is a prodigal pirate, a hero of Alabasta, and a protector who lives in the rainland. god.

The protective color on Crocodile means that if Skyler attacks him directly, he will inevitably attract a lot of criticism, and even the Shichibukai system that took nearly 20 years to establish will collapse as a result.

This is something that the navy and the world government cannot afford. Once the Shichibukai system collapses, the world will return to the embarrassing situation of pirates who are not the navy.

The pirates who have no way out will only think that they will be imprisoned in the impel city anyway, so they will cause chaos without any scruples. If that really happens, there may be only one voice left within the navy.

The struggle between factions may cause internal friction, but compared with having only one voice, the existence of multiple factions can effectively prevent an organization from going to extremes, but brutal pirates will spawn more and more hawks.

Once the older generation such as He, Garp, and Zefa abdicate by then, the Navy will most likely "go astray."

Therefore, the existence of the Shichibukai not only makes the pirates feel that there is a way out and will not do everything, but also allows the various factions within the navy to achieve a balance.

Crocodile represents more than just him personally, so even Skyler will not be allowed to take action against Crocodile without actually violating the Shichibukai regulations.

Nurkic was a little confused after hearing Skyler talking to himself. He didn't know what Skyler was talking about. After all, he was busy in the headquarters when Skyler was enjoying his vacation last year.

As for Skyler's return, Nurkic could only do what other adjutants did, asking their commanders who had returned from vacation whether the trip went smoothly and whether they were happy.

As for the details of the journey...the happiness belongs to the commander, and there is no need for the adjutant to inquire.

Therefore, Nurkic didn't know who Skyler called "that person", but he also began to think about who that person was most likely to be.

First of all, his superiors had obviously known for a long time that Crocodile had ulterior motives, but the fact that he had not implemented the conspiracy for so many years must have been restricted by others, or because there was no one at all.

At this moment, based on the words of his commander, it can be inferred that Crocodile is obviously the latter. Before this year, Crocodile was unable to complete his conspiracy because he did not have the help of "that person".

To further deduce, what kind of ability does Crocodile lack?What kind of talent is needed?

First of all, force-based assistance can be excluded. It is not that Nurkic underestimates the World Government countries, but... under the intentional guidance of the World Government, the World Government countries have gradually lost their force against the enemy.

Maybe there are still some armies in the country, but...that is, to deal with ordinary people and an army composed of ordinary people. In terms of the power of those with natural fruit abilities...

If you just want to defeat the country of Alabasta, then Crocodile alone is enough.

Moreover, even if one succeeds in stealing the country by force, the fruits of victory will not last long. Even if the royal family of the Kingdom of Alabasta is completely wiped out, the World Government will still make efforts to suppress the bandits.

As for the issue of it being too late... World Government officials, from Wulaoxing to outsourced personnel at Red Harbor, are all extremely good at apologizing, and other franchise countries have to recognize the sincerity of the World Government's apology.

Therefore, stealing the country by force will not work, and Crocodile may not want the entire country, but...

Nurkic narrowed his eyes slightly, and he instantly thought that Alabasta was not an ordinary World Government member country. Alabasta's royal ancestor was one of the twenty kings who co-founded the World Government.

In other words, Alabasta may be hiding trump cards and treasures that even the World Government, and even their current royal family, don't know about. Perhaps this is what Crocodile is planning.

Once we think of the period when the World Government was established, there are two topics that cannot be avoided, that is, the blank 100 years and the text of history. Nurkic looked at Skyler and asked with some uncertainty:

"Sir, does Alabasta have something similar to the rumored road signs that are of extremely high value and have been circulated for a long time?"

Skyler was startled when she heard Nurkic's question. Good guy, she relied on her foresight to grasp the little information. It seems that she has no advantage at all in front of Nurkic.

Looking at Nurkic, Skyler said: "It seems that you have grown more than a little bit in this year in this department."

In the more than half a year since he became the captain of the Zhanye detachment, Skyler has hardly taken any action, because under Nurkic's dispatch, the entire G-5 branch sea area was firmly controlled by the Zhanye detachment.

Nurkic's ability is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow for those pirates who have just stepped into the new world. Even down here, in various places in the branch waters, there are teams dispatched by Nurkic performing tasks. .

In the past, Nurkic did not have such ability, but in just one year as a "part-time job" as a general staff officer, Nurkic's overall view and command and dispatch ability have reached more than a level.

After all, before, there was only one team at Nurkic's disposal, and his thinking was also limited to this team.

But after becoming the chief staff officer, Nurkic dispatched the navy in six sea areas, breaking it into parts and parts, taking one step and thinking ten steps. This kind of ability is extremely terrifying when used to dispatch a detachment. .

But Skyler originally thought that Nurkic had only made progress in deploying troops, but he did not expect that he would be so sensitive to such details that are difficult to observe.

Hearing the praise from his parents, Nurkic showed a simple smile. Over forty years old, he had completely settled down. He smiled, not out of happiness, but out of a worldly and natural thing.

Of course, he was not unhappy. After all, Skyler's praise also proved that his guess just now was not wrong at least in the general direction.

Skyler looked at Nurkic and said, "Do you have any other ideas? Say it boldly."

Nurkic heard Skyler's words, thought for a moment, and said, "I guess...Nicole Robin entered the Grand Channel and became Crocodile's subordinate."

"What's the reason?"

“There are many unsolved mysteries in this world, but there are not many that have solutions and are only in the hands of a very few people, or even in the hands of just one person.

For example...the historical text.

As for the interpretation of historical texts, in the past hundred years, there is only one place that can be commended, and that is the scholars of Xihai O'Hara.

O'Hara was destroyed, the scholars were exterminated, and only one person survived, and that was Nicole Robin.

If what Crocodile wants is really information, treasures or something else hidden in history, there must be someone who knows history very well, or even someone who can interpret the text of history. "

Nurkic began to talk about his idea, and when Skyler nodded inadvertently, this silent recognition allowed Nurkic to think clearly and continued:

"You just said a key word yourself, "that person"! I think... Sir, you have already met Nicole Robin.

Moreover, only she can threaten the sea while keeping you and Lieutenant General Garp at bay. "

Seeing that Nurkic started to speak a little too accurately, Skyler waved his hand and said: "Nurkic, you are so smart. If one day I want to leave the Navy, I will definitely kill you.

Otherwise, if I keep you, if the navy wants to take action against me, you will definitely be my biggest enemy. "

"Sir, I will only carry out your justice."

Nurkic expressed his loyalty in a timely manner. Although the level of trust between the two people no longer required these vain words, but... it was to lighten the atmosphere.

Skyler no longer struggled with Crocodile's "purpose", but pointed to the report in his hand and asked: "You compiled this, what is your opinion?"

"Creating panic and buying people's hearts has caused King Kobra's reputation to plummet. I think about it, there will be all kinds of censorious words spread in Alabasta tomorrow.

They even blamed the royal family of Alabasta for the lack of rain in the country. As for the solution...

Implementation may begin this summer, or even earlier.

If it is really a disaster, then there should be no rain in Alabasta, not just in the capital, and other places are extremely dry. This must be a man-made disaster.

The Shasha fruit shouldn't have this ability, maybe it's... a dancing fan!

Crocodile wants to steal the country, but he cannot steal the country, but the people steal the country, and then feed the fruits to Crocodile's mouth.

By midsummer next year at the latest, a large number of dancing fans with royal imprints will suddenly appear in Albana, the capital of Alabasta, or even more specifically, in and around the royal palace.

And was discovered by the people unexpectedly.Midsummer... is the time when they are struggling the most and most desperate in a new round of drought. Crocodile does not even need to take any action, and the people will spontaneously start to rebel against the royal family. "

After saying this, Nurkic paused, frowned and thought. After a while, he said: "Krokdal will take the initiative to let the Navy know about the people's resistance."

"why?"

Skyler asked curiously. After all, this was not shown in the original work. Moreover, if he did this, wouldn't Crocodile be afraid that the navy would discover his secrets and plans?

But in Nurkic's eyes, Skyler was testing him. After all...how could her superior not understand her brother, the so-called revolutionary Dorag?

However, he still fulfilled Skyler's wish and said: "The Revolutionary Army will not let go of this opportunity, and similarly, Crocodile will not allow the Revolutionary Army to get his hands on his fruits.

Therefore, slow down the pace, attract the revolutionary army to take the bait, and then spread the news to the navy, so that the revolutionary army will fall into a tiring battle with the navy. By then, no one will care about Crocodile.

It took one year to brew public anger, one year to attract the revolutionary army and plan the war between the revolutionary army and the navy, and another year to let public anger completely burn Alabasta.

If there are no restrictions, Alabasta will definitely become Crocodile's possession in midsummer three years later! "

After finishing his conclusion, Nurkic's face became extremely solemn. You must know that Alabasta is not just a member of the world government.

It is the territory of one of the twenty kings, and it can be called the largest country in the Great Channel. Although it seems that Alabasta does not have many resources at present.

But... Crocodile cannot seek a country with no resources and no value.

Unless Crocodile's purpose is to become the king of Alabasta, then wait for the favor of a certain Draco lady, become one of her husbands, and eventually become half Draco.

But... was this worth planning for so long?Obviously unreasonable, Alabasta definitely hides something buried deep in history, something that would make Crocodile spend more than ten years to obtain it.

"Reorganize what you said and send it back to the headquarters. If they don't notice, there is a high probability that it will evolve into the situation you mentioned.

If we notice and can't do better, that just means... most navies are still disappointing. "

Seeing that Nurkic actually pushed these things out with clues, Skyler felt a little frustrated. She was obviously the one who traveled through time, so why did what she saw look worse than Nurkic?

However, Skyler did not express it, after all, she was more or less concerned about face.

"Yes, sir!"

Nurkic took the order and left, but the solemnity on his face did not relax. After all... Judging from his one-year experience as a part-time general staff officer in the headquarters.

Most navies really stay in the realm of disappointment. On the point of being disappointing, most navies never disappoint.

It can even be said that the 219 nautical miles of sea area in the New World is actually the sea area that is best controlled by the navy.

After all, the headquarters sent two generals, Garp and Skyler, who were regarded as the best navies in both eras, to the New World. The other three generals were also famous generals.

Five people leading five elite detachments to guard only 219 nautical miles of sea area is actually a waste, but only such waste can alleviate the incompetence of the Four Seas and the first half of the great waterway.

Even the East China Sea, which is known as the weakest sea, has begun to show signs of a resurgence of evil due to Garp not returning to his hometown often in recent years, if it weren't for Smoker guarding the last level of the East China Sea.

Then the title of the so-called East China Sea as the weakest sea will probably be taken away.

However, rather than highlighting the excellence of certain generals and the elites of certain detachments, Nurkic hopes that the quality of the entire navy can be improved.

After all, in that case, when I am in the new world, I don't need to think about the group of colleagues in the first half of the Great Channel.

A week after Nurkic compiled the information he obtained from various detachments into a report, added his own analysis, and sent it to the headquarters, he finally received a reply from the headquarters.

The headquarters stated that it will attach great importance to this matter and carefully organize various naval personnel to analyze the matter. Once the news is confirmed, the headquarters will also seriously deploy to deal with Crocodile's conspiracy and resolve the potential crisis in Alabasta.

All in all, this is an impeccably formal reply, but this formality also happens to be a kind of lack of attention.

Nurkic can only think of ways to continue to collect more clues, and then let the department pay more attention to this matter.

After all, it is difficult for the headquarters to directly believe that the Zhanye detachment, as its own commander, targeted Crocodile. Although it is abnormal,... Nurkic can understand what the headquarters is thinking.

Various reasons can be traced back to nearly 20 years ago. At that time, Skyler could not be called a navy, but could only be called a navy recruit.

Although Nurkic was not Skyler's contemporary, he had heard various information about Skyler during his recruitment period. At that time, Crocodile, who had just become King Shichibukai, once publicly stated that the scars on his face were Due to Skyler.

But if the truth was true at that time, from a normal person's point of view, Skyler and Crocodile must have had a conflict, and it was a big conflict.

Later, after Skyler became Lieutenant General of the headquarters, he presided over two Shichibukai meetings, both of which targeted Crocodile. This easily makes people think that Skyler and Crocodile still have a personal feud.

Therefore, as long as Skyler does anything detrimental to Crocodile, it will make people feel that Skyler's personal grudges must be involved.

What's more, this time the accusation against Crocodile in Alabasta actually came from the Zhanye detachment, which was thousands of sea miles away and even had a barrier like the Red Earth Continent in between.

Therefore, the authenticity of this accusation is questionable. After all, it may be Skyler's personal act of revenge.

What's more, Crocodile has always been a typical example of the Shichibukai promoted by the Navy and the World Government. The Navy and the World Government want more pirates to know that pirates can actually be heroes.

As long as you are strong enough and have a heart to help civilians, you can choose to become the King of the Shichibukai, then settle in a country, protect the peace of that country, and gain support and fame.

Among the seven kings in the Shichibukai, the only ones with real long-term value to the navy and the world government are Crocodile and Haku.

Crocodile represents the coexistence between the people and pirates, and Haku represents the coexistence between humans and other races. Compared to the others... these two are actually more important.

After all, Mihawk only does things as he pleases, Hancock only wants to protect her country, Xiong is still robbing pirates all over the world, and Katakuri has become the new emperor...

These people are not so much beneficial to the World Government as to make them the Shichibukai, just to make them harmless. Only Crocodile and Haku are what the World Government and the Navy should look like in the eyes of the Shichibukai .

Therefore, just relying on Skyler's guess, it is like letting the Navy really attack Crocodile. It has nothing to do with Skyler's status. Even one of the three generals cannot shake the Navy and Crocodile. The choice of world government.

It's just that I can understand it, but it is difficult for Nurkic to agree with the attitude of the Navy Headquarters. As far as this matter is concerned, the Navy only sees Crocodile's "usefulness".

Instead of analyzing the price of its "usefulness" and "easiness of use", things with clear price tags may seem expensive, but they can make people understand clearly.

But for Crocodile, a beautiful thing that is only advertised as "free", it is still unknown whether it is actually beautiful or cheap, and the unknown is the scariest thing.

The top priority is to let the navy see clearly what Crocodile wants after his efforts.

Of course, he could have Skyler skip all the procedures and go directly to Lieutenant General He and Marshal Warring States, but... this would offend other members of the staff except He.

Those guys who think about evil people every day... Nurkic has worked with them and knows that they are cruel to pirates and also unforgiving to their own people.

And Nurkic also knows that Skyler is working hard to maintain the relationship with every naval general, and he must not let his commander's efforts be directly in vain because of this incident.

So, Nurkic has to make Skyler's fuss justified, and that... speculation alone isn't enough right now.

Let’s not talk about whether Crane and Sengoku will overturn the collective inference of the staff due to Skyler’s personal reasons. Even if these two agree, what about the World Government?

Therefore, Nurkic must find an opportunity to kill Crocodile.

In the first half of the Grand Line, the only person who could unconditionally trust Skyler and be willing to help Skyler find or create this opportunity... was that person and his detachment.
