One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

The soldiers guarding the city also did not step forward to stop them. After all, these soldiers had seen Ling Tian before, and their princess was following closely behind the team.

"A country's capital actually allows such a group of pirates to come and go freely..." Smoker couldn't help but complain in a low voice while smoking a cigar.

At this time, he did not know that Vivi was actually the princess of Alabasta. If he knew the truth, perhaps he would not be so emotional.

Soon, Ling Tian led everyone into Albana.

He stopped, turned to face Luffy and his group and said, "Well, let me tell you about the current situation in Alabasta."

Luffy and others gathered together and listened attentively, because this matter concerned Vivi's country and could not be neglected in the slightest.

Ling Tian took a deep breath, then said with a serious face: "The current situation in Alabasta..." Seeing this, everyone's heartstrings tightened, fearing that they would hear some bad news from him.

However, at this moment, Ling Tian changed the subject and said with a smile: "In fact, the situation in Alabasta is very good, it can be said to be prosperous!"

Before he finished his words, a muffled "bang" was heard.

It turned out that those people who had just been very nervous because of Ling Tian's serious expression, were now unable to stand steadily and fell to the ground due to the ups and downs of emotions.

"Stupid idiot Ling Tian, ​​the situation is obviously very good, why do you still have to put on such a scary look!"

Sanji got up from the ground in a mess, cursing non-stop.

Zoro, who was standing aside, nodded silently, expressing his agreement with Sanji's words.

You know, this is the first time in history that Zoro has agreed with what Sanji said! Not only that, after seeing Ling Tian's appearance at the moment, the other people present also showed anger on their faces, gritting their teeth in anger, as if they wanted to eat Ling Tian alive immediately.

"Sorry, sorry!" Ling Tian looked at the people who were struggling to get up from the ground with an apologetic look on his face.

He really didn't expect such a situation to happen, but he still apologized sincerely in front of everyone.

At this time, Smoker stared at Ling Tian with sharp eyes, and asked with a puzzled tone: "Since you said that the situation in Alabasta is very good, then what about Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Despite knowing that Ling Tian is extremely powerful, Smoker does not think he has the ability to defeat Crocodile.

However, Ling Tian seemed to be prepared. After hearing Smoker's question, he nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then said: "This is exactly what I am going to talk about next." As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian reached into his arms and then took out a corpse from the system space.

Smoker looked closely and was immediately shocked - the corpse in front of him was Crocodile!

"You...you actually killed Crocodile?" Smoker asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

You know, Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even among them, he is not the last one.

But at this moment, this once invincible strong man has become a cold corpse, being held in Ling Tian's hands nonchalantly. The scene is truly shocking.

Smoker stared at Crocodile's lifeless body with wide eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with turmoil.

He could never have imagined that Ling Tian was so powerful that he could even kill Crocodile who was recognized by the World Government!

Although Smoker is dissatisfied with the pedantic old men of the World Government, it is undeniable that most of the Seven Warlords of the Sea they selected are extremely powerful.

Just as Smoker was lost in thought, Ling Tian suddenly said, "Strictly speaking, I didn't kill Crocodile myself."

Smoker was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of astonishment - it wasn't Ling Tian who did it? Then who on earth had the ability to defeat a powerful enemy like Crocodile in Alabasta?

However, Ling Tian didn't take Smoker's reaction to heart at all, and continued to tell the thrilling battle between him and Crocodile as if nothing had happened.

"Wait, you just said that you were knocked down by Crocodile a few days ago and turned into stone?" Smoker suddenly interrupted Ling Tian's words, as if he remembered something important.

He recalled the strange scene of lightning and thunder a few days ago, and a question arose in his mind: Could all this be related to what happened that day?

Indeed, a few days ago, Ling Tian encountered Crocodile and was turned into a hard stone by the other party using his ability. At the same time, Crocodile also died unexpectedly.

According to Ling Tian, ​​the lightning and thunder occurred that day exactly when Ling Tian was turned into stone by Crocodile.

This series of bizarre events made Smoker begin to wonder whether there was some subtle connection between them.

"Yeah, is there any problem?" Ling Tian was a little confused by Smoker's question.

After all, he had lost consciousness at the time and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Just as Smoker was about to explain, Sanji spoke first: "Not only that... the whole world was plunged into darkness in an instant! It was like the end of the world!"

When Ling Tian heard what Sanji said, he was immediately surprised.

However, after an intense discussion, Ling Tian and his companions did not obtain any valuable clues.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Smoker suddenly broke the silence: "Ling Tian, ​​can you hand over Crocodile's body to me?"

As a naval admiral, Smoker was well aware of Crocodile's special status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his body should be disposed of by the navy.

However, at this moment, facing the powerful Straw Hat Pirates, Smoker had to express his wishes in this tone.

Ling Tian did not immediately agree to Smoker's request, but responded calmly: "You should ask our captain about this matter." After that, he turned his gaze to Luffy beside him.

After hearing this, Smoker turned and looked at Luffy, with anticipation in his eyes.

Luffy looked at Smoker calmly and said easily: "Okay, then give Crocodile's body to him, Lingtian."

After hearing what Luffy said, Ling Tian handed Crocodile's body to Smoker without hesitation.

Although Ling Tian knew that Crocodile's body might be transformed if it fell into the hands of the navy, he still had to give face to his captain since Luffy had asked for it.
