Pirate: I'm not the King of the Sea, so don't mess with me.

Sand Crocodile, although he is only 20 years old this year, is the boss who has occupied this dune island.

The Dune Island is actually not very large, with less than 10,000 ordinary people living on it.

Towns of different sizes are scattered among the scattered sand dunes and are not large-scale.

In addition, the harsh environment of the desert has directly led to the hardship and boring life of the people here.

At a young age, Crocodile knew how to control people's hearts.

Since life here is difficult for you, I will create good conditions for you.

So he brought supplies and treasures snatched from the sea, and used resources to lure the people to join his fleet, so as to completely occupy the island and become king, becoming the leader of the people struggling under hardship.

To say he is a leader seems uneducated, and does not fit Crocodile's aesthetics.

It should be called Boss.

Yes, Boss has a strong character, which is in line with his identity and temperament.

At the age of 20, Crocodile was very satisfied with the current situation.

He has a blueprint in mind.

He wants to use the Dune Island as a starting point and slowly conquer the surrounding islands.

When his power is connected in the new world and his fleet grows to the point that no one can rival him, he will expand outward until he becomes the king of the entire new world.

Crocodile is a man who is strategic, courageous, ambitious, ruthless, cruel and decisive.

So it’s not incomprehensible to be a little drifting at a young age.

Until... his subordinates brought back a woman, a woman so beautiful that people would remember her at a glance...

Crocodile, who met Zenia for the first time, never expected that such a beautiful and vase-like woman would not only ruin his plans several times in the following decades, but also make him... I will never forget it in my life.

And now, Crocodile, who could not predict the future, was sitting on the black leather sofa.

The man's young and handsome face had no expression, his eyes were downward, looking condescendingly at Zheniya sitting on a simple stretcher.

Zenia also looked up at the tall Crocodile.

then……

stunned.

Why... does it look familiar (⊙?⊙)?

In her eyes, the man sitting on the chair was wearing a black fur-collared coat. The black shirt under the coat was half unbuttoned, revealing tight, honey-colored sexy chest muscles and a perfectly shaped eight-pack abs.

His black hair was meticulously pulled back, and he held a cigar between his teeth. His expression when looking down at people was somewhat condescending, and his cold and indifferent eyes were emotionless, as if he was looking at some little person not worth mentioning.

Although... although there is no iconic transverse scar on his face, his left hand does not have a golden hook, and he is even... slightly more delicate...

But... isn't this NM the future Sand Crocodile ∑(口||?

Shah Crocodile! The future king Shichibukai~ I didn’t expect to meet him here.

Well, there doesn't seem to be anything surprising. It was said in the original book that Crocodile left the New World, and later went to Alabasta to become king, but he was unexpectedly defeated by the newcomer Luffy.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

A group of little karami who carried Zheniya back respectfully looked at each other, so nervous that cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads.

Boss... No, what does this mean?

Do you like it or not?

The waiting was unnerving.

Zenia felt like she should say something.

After all, such a stalemate was not an option, and she was really hungry.

So she put her small fist to her lips and gave a decent cough.

Crocodile looked at her with cold eyes, and also felt that this woman seemed familiar.

Because Zenia's reward notice only showed a side view, it was understandable that Crocodile didn't recognize her for a while.

Zheniya spoke: "Well, they call you Boss, so I'll call you Boss too."

Zheniya was smiling, and she was indescribably cute, well-behaved and friendly: "Boss, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

The onlookers who were still worried just now: ∑(口||

Is this so bold?

I didn't expect that this woman's opening remarks would be this: Crocodile:...

He suddenly became interested and stood up and walked towards Zenia, his black cloak flying with the gentle and oppressive footsteps.

Crocodile squinted his eyes and looked Zenia up and down.

She can still calmly ask for food on other people's territory. This woman is... very interesting.

Seeing him walking over in a black cloak, Zheniya knew that he was a bit domineering, so she took the initiative to cooperate and raised her little face and put it on her chin. At the end, she said with a smile: "Do you want to pinch your chin? Remember after pinching. Prepare meat for me, I want to eat meat, not fish, but animal meat!"

Crocodile really planned to pinch his chin handsomely and look at this woman in a superior manner:...

It doesn’t matter if you stretch out your hand, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t stretch your hand.

What's more important is that this woman has a lot of demands?

Crocodile stood three steps away from Zenia, with an unpredictable expression. However, for the first time in his life, he felt a little... embarrassment in his heart.

Seeing him standing there motionless, Zheniya, who was forced to raise her head and her neck felt sore, silently looked back.

I feel disgusted in my heart: Why are you so tall?

I hate looking up at people the most. How tiring is that?

Momola put down the telescope, leaned out of the edge of the observation deck, and shouted below: "The island of sand dunes is ahead, boss."

Roger raised his head and looked at Momola, and finally looked in the direction of the island. He grinned and said, "That girl is on that island, right?"

Rayleigh had been observing the life card on his palm, and nodded when he heard this: "Ah, the life card does point in that direction."

Roger's smile widened when he heard this, and he directly gave the order: "Young men, move towards the Dune Island."

The helmsman Jabba heard this and smiled helplessly: "Hey, hey~, I got it."

As the rudder was turned with a clatter, the hull swung swiftly on the sea and turned around, taking advantage of the wind to quickly move towards the island of sand dunes.

The closer he got to the Dune Island, the tighter Rayleigh's brows became.

"I suddenly remembered something. The recently popular Sha Sha Fruit power user Sha Crocodile seems to be on this island."

Roger was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Elio, who was sitting on the side of the ship, quickly interpreted what Rayleigh meant: "With that girl's luck, the probability of meeting Sha Crocodile is very high. This is a place covered by desert. Just in case. If we fight, we will easily suffer the loss."

Roger scratched the back of his head and asked, "That Shasha fruit, is it really so powerful?"

Spencer leaned against the bow of the ship with his arms folded: "After all, it is a natural fruit ability, and it relies on geographical advantages. If that guy develops the fruit ability well, it is not impossible for us to suffer a loss."

On the side, Oden heard the power of the natural fruit, and suddenly grinned, full of fighting spirit: "Natural devil fruit, I haven't encountered it yet, let me do it."

Everyone glanced at him, expressions of speechlessness and helplessness.

Everyone in the Roger Pirates had a full understanding of Oden's 'activity' along the way.

This guy is, at best, an active activist, but at worst, he's a reckless troublemaker.

Let him come?

They were all afraid that they would have to send people to rescue him by then.

Barrett, who rarely walked out of the cabin and didn't even know that he was becoming more and more integrated into this group, stood in the corner and snorted: "I am a Fusion Fruit user, and the sand is also within the range that I can control. Then Leave this guy to me."

As he spoke, he looked around with warlike eyes.

The person caught in the gaze shrugged nonchalantly, with a smile on his face that clearly showed a 'whatever you want' attitude.

Oden felt that his opponent had been robbed.

So the boat docked, and the guy ran towards the desert and disappeared like the wind.

Everyone was stunned for a while, until Rayleigh tiredly said to Jabba: "Jabba, look at that guy."

Then he looked up at the ship and arranged in an orderly manner: "Leave some people to guard the ship, and the rest will disperse to find people. If you find them, call the bugs."
