Pirate Death Arrives.

Isn’t that what happened to Ace during his first two years at sea?

Ace's personality is relatively calm and steady.

However, he also has the arrogance that is unique to young people.

When he has a certain level of strength.

He went straight to the Four Emperors Whitebeard and tried to defeat him.

result……

Without exception, hundreds of challenges all ended with Ace's defeat.

Whitebeard's strength was truly incomparable. Even though his body was almost failing during that period of time, the effects of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on his body were gradually becoming apparent.

But no matter what, the Four Emperors are still the Four Emperors. No matter how many times Ace challenges him, he will be easily defeated by him.

On the other hand, Ace is young and frivolous, and has a spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones.

Even though he was defeated repeatedly, he did not feel depressed or defeated at all. Instead, he seemed to become more courageous as the battle went on.

As for why Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates...

The reason is very simple, just six words: sense of identity and belonging!

Perhaps because he had been defeated so many times by Whitebeard, Ace directly told Whitebeard that he was the son of Pirate King Roger.

However, what Ace did not expect was that after Whitebeard knew his identity as the son of the enemy, he not only did not kick him off the boat, but laughed it off.

This made Ace finally recognize that Whitebeard Edward Newgate was a great pirate, and he was finally willing to bear the name of "Whitebeard", joined the Whitebeard Pirates, became a member of it, and fought for Whitebeard.

Moreover, he has a very ambitious goal, which is to help his 'father' Whitebeard ascend to the throne of Pirate King!

In Ace's opinion, only someone with an open-minded and heroic character like Whitebeard is qualified to become the Pirate King.

Little did people know that after knowing Ace's identity, Whitebeard wanted Ace to become like his biological father.

That's right, he also wants Ace to become the Pirate King.

I have to say that the train of thought of this 'father and son' is surprisingly consistent.

Unfortunately, with the end of the war at the top, the wishes of the two could never be realized.

……

In short.

Ace's life trajectory changed dramatically because of the appearance of Whitebeard.

Nothing in the world remains unchanged, let alone people?

The same goes for Crocodile.

In the original plot, he suffered a loss at the hands of Luffy, who was much younger than him, and was defeated by the other party.

After being imprisoned in Impel Down, he obviously underwent deep reflection.

After coming out, he was obviously a different person.

Become more confident!

After all, relying solely on external things is not a long-term solution.

What is not yours will never be yours.

In this pirate world, only if you are strong yourself, you are truly strong!

same.

Now, after being defeated by Roddy, who is less than 20 years old, Crocodile's self-reflection has become more profound.

Because, in the battle with Luo Di, he personally experienced the feeling of powerlessness of being crushed.

In the original plot, in the battle with Luffy, the two sides just fought back and forth, and in fact, most of the time, he was suppressing Luffy.

If it weren't for Luffy's good luck, he would have died long ago.

In the end, he defeated Crocodile at the cost of being seriously injured.

On the other hand, Luo Di.

How should I put it? The feeling I gave Crocodile was completely different.

There was even a sense of oppression similar to the one he felt when facing Whitebeard in his youth.

When the two sides started fighting, things became even more exaggerated.

Obviously, he and Luo Di had never met or fought before, but after the real fight, he found that the other party seemed to be very familiar with his abilities.

And his understanding of Luo Di was almost zero.

To be honest, Crocodile knew about Rody.

After all, looking across the entire pirate world, it would be hard to find another person who dares to rob Tenshang Gold.

But a young boy who had just started out actually did it.

What’s even more outrageous is that the navy hasn’t caught him since then.

Is it that Luo Di is too strong, or is it that the navy is too useless?

unknown.

However, Crocodile only paid attention to Roddy for a short period of time. After there was no news about Roddy on the sea, he forgot about it.

In fact, he was completely unaware of Luo Di's strength and the other party's abilities.

After that, for unknown reasons, he had friction with Luo Di.

The final result was his miserable defeat.

Anyway.

Crocodile was very confused in the confrontation with Roddy.

He had no idea why.

And after being easily defeated by the opponent, he became even more confused.

Today's young people are as fierce as if they were cheating.

Of course, more people are still unwilling to accept it.

He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and also a super pirate who was once famous on the sea.

But he was defeated by a junior who was more than half his age.

This made him somewhat embarrassed.

He still remembers vividly how he was defeated by Whitebeard.

However, it is understandable.

After all, Whitebeard's strength is recognized as strong, otherwise, he would not have the domineering title of "the strongest man in the world".

Crocodile could not accept the fact that he was defeated by Whitebeard, and until now, he still cannot let it go, but he can understand.

However, the appearance of Luo Di taught him a lesson that he would probably never forget in his life.

What right does a young man under 20 have?

If, in the original plot, he was defeated by Luffy, he still retained a trace of desire for ancient weapons.

So, now...

After being defeated by Lodi, Crocodile finally repented after learning from his mistakes.

Defeating and defeating are two completely different concepts.

When fighting Luffy, he held him down.

When fighting Luo Di, he was the one being beaten.

It is for this reason that Crocodile conducted more in-depth reflection.

Why is there such a situation?

Why could a young man defeat him so easily?

Crocodile is not a stupid pig.

His thoughts are not as extreme and stubborn as Barrett's.

It's no wonder that after he calmly reflected on it for a while, he actually figured out some of his own problems.

Because of excessive concern for ancient weapons, they neglected the training and strengthening of themselves.

This is his biggest problem!

At the same time, it also gave the young juniors the opportunity to surpass him.

Regret?

Crocodile must have some regrets.

However, time is like running water, it will never come back.

To be honest, it's too late to regret now.
