Pirates: I'll be with the Straw Hat Pirates in my old age

"Finally here!" Smoker turned to Dashigi beside him and ordered, "Gather all the navy soldiers and surround this place."

"I'll take the first step."

As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker quickly left, following the soldier who had just reported.

At the same time, in the rainy land, in the "Rain Banquet" casino run by Crocodile, Crocodile also received the news that an outsider had broken in.

"Captain Smoker?"

"And a bunch of unknown little mice?"

"Mr. 3, you really disappoint me this time!"

"No, no, boss, please give me another chance, I will definitely..."

The Baroque Studio gathered for the first time and finally met the boss they had met before.

Mr. 3, who had fled out of guilt, also came with him. But for some reason, Mr. 3 came back again.

Faced with this boss he had never seen before, Mr. 3 wanted to beg for mercy, but Crocodile turned a deaf ear to him.

Looking at Mr. 3 who had just returned with a grin, Crocodile did not hesitate at all. His palm turned into quicksand and pressed lightly on Mr. 3's body.

A horrifying scene then occurred. In just a blink of an eye, Mr. 3's body quickly dried up and dehydrated like smoked bacon.

"I've already given you a chance."

Crocodile snorted coldly at the mummy-like Mr. 3 and threw him into the crocodile pond.

“Hmm…hahahaha…”

Crocodile laughed out loud, and looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, he couldn't help but terrify Mr. 2, Von Clay, who also failed in his mission.

"Boss," Feng Clay said tremblingly, "I, I have information about Princess Weiwei!"

"Oh?" Crocodile didn't make any more attacks upon hearing that. Instead, he slowly walked to his high-back chair, crossed his legs, and stared at Von Clay quietly.

Upon seeing this, Feng Clay quickly reported: "Princess Vivi, she is now on a ship called the Straw Hat Pirates."

"They are Captain Luffy with a bounty of 35 million, Swordsman Zoro, and Chef Sanji..."

"Now, they have also arrived here with the navy."

The Mimicry Fruit was activated, and the faces of the Straw Hat Pirates flashed one by one on Von Clay's body.

"Straw Hat Luffy?" Crocodile chuckled, then continued: "Never mind, I won't bother with this mission, but if there are any mistakes in the next 'Utopia Plan', don't blame me for being merciless!"

Crocodile gave a warning, then arranged the work, then dismissed everyone and turned to look at the woman who had been sitting in the shadow beside him.

"All Sunday! It's time for our cooperation to begin."

Under the shadows, Robin remained calm and nodded in agreement.

Beyond the “Rain Banquet”!

"Huh? Uncle Smoker?"

In the cafe, Luffy, who was looking for a place to drink water, looked at the acquaintance in front of him blankly.

After just half a second of hesitation, Zoro and Luffy ran away holding the bucket.

"Stop!" Smoker took out the seastone weapon behind him and chased after him.

"Dashiqi, you lead the people to the other side, go around to the front and surround them, and I will chase them from behind."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Tashigi immediately dispersed and ran towards the street on the left.

However, after running a few steps, Dashiqi suddenly remembered something. It seemed that they had just bought water and had not paid yet.

"..."

Putting her glasses on her head, Tashigi puffed out her cheeks and glared at the place where Zoro and the others escaped with great dissatisfaction. Then she returned to the store and paid for their expenses and those of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hey! Uncle! Stop chasing me!" On the other side, Luffy kept moving his hands and feet, not caring what was in front of him, and just kept running forward.

Suddenly, a luxurious building like a palace appeared in front of Luffy and his companions.

On both sides of the bright red carpet embroidered with gold edges, there were waiters standing, whether they were deliberately arranged or always there.

Luffy and Zoro were being chased by Smoker from behind and were in a panic. They actually rushed straight in.

It was quite easy to get in. Luffy and Zoro were running around in the long and narrow corridor.

I don't know what mechanism I touched, but the floor under my feet suddenly cracked and Luffy and Smoker fell in.

"Ah! It hurts!"

With a loud bang, Luffy, Zoro and Smoker landed at the same time.

"Strange, I'm a rubber man, how come I get hurt when I fall?" Luffy looked around blankly, only to find that they had fallen into a cage.

He laid his hands on the cage, but as soon as they made contact, Luffy felt all his strength being drained away.

I felt listless until I let go, and then I regained some strength.

"Seastone Cage!" Smoker's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that they were ambushed.

"Seastone! I've heard it's the nemesis of Devil Fruit users, just like seawater, right?"

Smoker looked at Luffy with surprise. He didn't expect that this guy who seemed to have no brains actually knew something.

"Hey, uncle, your look is very rude!"

As if he had noticed Smoker's look, Luffy complained in great displeasure, and Smoker, who was also not very confident, subconsciously replied, "Sorry!"

But the next second, Smoker reacted.

Isn't that right? I'm a marine, why should I say sorry to a pirate?

"Hehehe, it's okay!" Luffy replied nonchalantly.

Smoker: ...

The surrounding seastone cages made Smoker lose the desire to argue.

"Hey, Zoro, can you hack open this cage?"

"No, it's very hard and will break my knife."

Zoro didn't even try, but simply rejected Luffy's request. Then he sat in the corner of the cage without looking back and took a nap.

“…So boring!”

They couldn't get out, Zoro was a sullen man, Smoker was a marine, and no one came to take care of them. For a moment, Luffy actually missed Usopp a little.

Just when the three of them were dozing off and about to fall asleep.

Two figures were also locked up in.

"Nami! Chopper! Why were you caught too?" Luffy asked in surprise.

At this moment, two unfamiliar voices appeared again behind Nami and Chopper.

"Where's Princess Weiwei?"

"I don't know. Maybe he went somewhere with that long-nosed guy."

"… Never mind. It doesn't matter."

Passing Nami, Luffy saw two figures sitting at the table outside the cage.

It was the strange woman "Robin" whom Crocodile had met last time.

"What about them?" Robin continued to ask, turning his head to look at the cage behind him.

"…Feed the crocodile!" Throwing the key in his hand to Robin, Crocodile turned and walked outside.

Looking back at Luffy and the others, Robin didn't show any expression change. She directly opened the floodgates and released the huge banana crocodile.

"Ahhhh!"

"What's wrong?" Nami was startled by the sudden heavy breathing.

"Do you think the bananas on their heads are delicious?"

Nami:......

Filled with rage, Nami immediately punched Luffy on the head, knocking him down into the rising sea water.

In addition, Zoro, who had been sleeping nearby, did not escape and was woken up by Nami's punch.

"Why did you hit me?" Zoro covered the big bump on his head and looked at Nami angrily.

"You don't want to think about how to escape, but you're still sleeping here, is that appropriate?"

"Isn't there still a perverted cook who hasn't been caught?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the water.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that this green algae-head would have such a day." Sitting leisurely on the belly of the kicked-over crocodile, Sanji lit a cigarette.

"Damn it!" Being ridiculed like this, Zoro couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He actually took out the golden skyline from between his legs, and using the iron-cutting secret he had just learned not long ago, he chopped straight through the hard seastone cage.

The edge flashed, and a sharp cold light flashed across.

The cell door burst open.

Sauron: "..."

Nami, Luffy, Sanji and others: "..."

Looking down at the knife in his hand, Zoro frowned slightly. Why did it feel like this knife was much sharper than before?

But the next second, Zoro's thoughts were disrupted by Luffy.

"Wow, Zoro, you can actually open it!!"
