One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 150 Crane’s doubts

The dim light of the morning light returned to the earth after the dark clouds dispersed. The disappearing darkness did not take away the traces caused by yesterday's battle.

The battle between Enel and Moria has ended. When the black arrow-tailed spear passes through the chest of the God of Thunder incarnated by Enel, the final winner of this battle is announced.

Compared to three years later, Moria was not so weak now that he couldn't even take one of Ming Ge's moves, and finally won with a slight advantage.

In the messy castle hall, two unconscious people lay on the floor without any image.

Next to Moria, Perona, who was holding a little bear, was taking care of him carefully. On the contrary, Enel was a pirate without a parent.

Lord Moria, wake up quickly.

While helping Moria bandage her wounds, Perona looked at An from the corner of her eye from time to time. Recalling the chain reaction of An's previous punch, she couldn't help but feel scared.

Time quickly passed from morning to afternoon.

During this period of time, An asked Xiaohong to thoroughly clean the terrifying three-masted sailboat and clean up some useless garbage, including a fishnet stocking pervert who had not yet appeared. .

It wasn't until halfway through the afternoon that Moria woke up in a daze. Before he could think about it, he saw Perona's frightened eyes and stood up forcefully, regardless of his injuries.

Absalom is dead if he dies, and nothing can happen to Perona.

With his narrow eyes staring at An's back, Moriah was actually panicking, but he kept calm.

"If you two have anything to say, just tell me!"

Swallowing his throat, he told himself that the momentum of the two people in front of him was much stronger than that of Kaido back then, especially the momentum of the man next to him, which was as dazzling as the sun in the dark night.

Rather than asking for trouble, it is better to ask the other party why they are here, and maybe it can be resolved peacefully.

"Become my subordinate or die, you choose one!"

As An's majestic voice sounded, the overlord color in his body was mobilized, black and red lightning danced wildly, and a terrifying aura enveloped the place, and the world seemed to have turned into a black and white picture!

There is an essential difference between Crocodile and Moria. The former is a hero who dares to reject Whitebeard.

The latter is just a powerful pirate. As for his original arrogance, he has long been beaten away. What's more, there is still a fetter around him now. An believes that he will make the right choice.

The majestic overlord color constantly impacted Moria's thoughts, and he instinctively wanted to resist, but when he felt Perona's trembling body behind him, he finally gave up the idea.

"I promise you!"

Turning around to pick up the unconscious girl, Moria made her own decision.

Taking the Overlord Color back to her body, An nodded to Moriah and affirmed: "You will not regret this decision."

……

Grand Line, Alabasta.

At this time, Crocodile has truly become a pirate hero of Alabasta to some extent because of his agreement with An. His status is equivalent to that of the two guardians of the kingdom, and he is loved by the people. Over time, he has gradually adapted to it. This kind of life.

Originally, this peaceful life was supposed to last until the war that the woman mentioned broke out, but today a stupid young man successfully aroused his anger.

The desert beyond the rain.

A young man wearing a cowboy hat looked at Crocodile with a smile. On the sand dune not far away, Guina and others wearing Alabasta costumes looked at Ace in the distance.

That's right, this young man wearing a cowboy hat is Ace who just entered the Grand Line. As for how he made Crocodile angry, Ace said it was very simple, and anyone who knew how to do it could do it.

Aren’t you running a casino? If you don’t want to fight me, then I will use my knowledge to win money in your casino and see how long you can endure it.

Sometimes siblings are just siblings, and even the ways to disgust people are exactly the same.

Even before he came to Alabasta, Ace decided that he must have a fight with Crocodile. Whether it's for fame or for my sister's dream, a man with the title of pirate hero is a suitable match.

Noticing the smile on the young man's face, Crocodile, who had remained indifferent at first, suddenly became fierce, with the cigar in his mouth shaking up and down.

"Kid, your smile reminds me of a nasty person. Let me teach you a lesson today!"

A streak of yellow sand formed a giant sand blade and headed straight for Ace's face, showing no mercy at all.

Acting on the sight and smell, Ace easily dodged the attack and muttered, "Hey, uncle, I sincerely invite you, don't be so unkind."

A gust of wind blew, and Crocodile stabbed Ace's neck directly with his golden hook. He bit his cigar and said, "Even if you want to invite me, you must defeat me first."

Letting the attack pass through his body, Ace turned around and showed a sunny smile.

"Then, it's a deal!"

……

Alabasta, Rapeseed Port.

An ordinary navy-style warship docked at the port. The warship was indeed ordinary, but the people who stepped out of the warship were anything but ordinary.

Wearing a navy cloak of justice and a women's shirt underneath, "Crane", whose wrinkles were more obvious than two years ago, walked down with Kuzan, who was as lazy as ever.

After a while, Alabasta officials, who had been notified long ago, came forward with guards. However, both of them ignored the officials in front of them and turned their attention to the warships parked in the Independence Port.

"Which country's warship is this?"

As the chief staff officer of the navy, Lieutenant General He could see the prototype of this warship at a glance. Although the appearance had been changed a bit, he could still see the shadow of a navy warship.

Upon hearing the inquiry from the elderly navy executive in front of him, the officer who was good at observing what was happening immediately replied: "This is a warship from the East China Sea Windmill Kingdom. They are just escorting caravans for trade."

"Windmill Kingdom?"

Before Lieutenant General He could ask the question, the official added flatteringly: "I heard that they have developed a power device similar to a sea train to be able to cross the windless zone."

With a symbolic nod, he signaled the officials to lead the way to see King Kobra. Before leaving, Lieutenant General He took a good look at the huge beast docked at the port.

On the way to the kingdom's capital, Lieutenant General Tsuru recalled Sengoku's conversation with him and Sengoku.

"Ahe, do you think there will be a new organization in this world that can replace the navy?"

"This is impossible during the Warring States Period. The reason why the navy is powerful is that it has strong strength, complete systems and stable economic sources."

"You can't lack any one of these three. Even if they are as powerful as the Yonko Pirates in the New World, they will fight for the chassis. Therefore, without a strong economic foundation, it is impossible to form an organization like the Navy."

Now thinking about the Warring States period again, what does Ahe think he might know? Looking across the red earth continent, his eyes fell on the corner of this world.

"Windmill Kingdom, Garp's hometown, Ann's hometown."
