Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"It's better not to take it lightly."

At this moment, Bai Ye spoke.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea system was created to balance the forces on the sea."

"They are pirates recognized by the World Government, possessing catastrophic destructive power and a huge combat power that rivals that of a country.

They are also known as the three major forces of the Grand Line along with the Four Emperors and the Marine Headquarters.

Only pirates who are well-known or powerful enough to shock the crowd are eligible to be selected as the Seven Warlords of the Sea. "

Bai Ye did not intend to scare everyone, nor did he mean to deliberately create a tense atmosphere.

But he really believed that Crocodile's strength was not as terrible as shown in the comics.

This is a real world. How could a person who is considered by the World Government to be comparable to the Four Emperors' Navy be defeated like that?

It might really be the plot that killed it.

Moreover, the original work later shows the strength of the sand crocodile in detail.

The first is the Battle of Marineford, where Crocodile and Doflamingo were evenly matched.

The latter was someone Luffy had to use all his strength to defeat after two years of training.

Next is the information given by the movie version of Operation: Frenzy.

The reason why Crocodile became famous in the sea was that when he was 20 years old, he met Barrett, a 19-year-old former crew member of Roger's pirate group, and the battle ended in a draw.

Everyone, that's Barrett!

Taking this information into consideration, Bai Ye naturally had to be prepared for Crocodile's strength to be completely beyond everyone's imagination.

"It seems that we should run quickly."

After listening to Bai Ye's explanation, Nami spoke first.

At this time, Princess Weiwei had an idea.

He knew that even if the unfortunate combination was caught, it would only delay the time for Crocodile to find out.

Although the two of them already knew of his plot, Alabasta's own strength might not be enough to stop that great pirate.

Because there was no evidence, I couldn't report it to the Navy.

Well, maybe we can ask the pirates for help?

The girl with waist-length blue hair kept considering it, she wanted to take a gamble!

"Can...can you please help me!!!"

Vivi came in front of the Straw Hat Pirates and shouted loudly, mustering up all her courage.

"Princess Vivi?" Ikalem was stunned, totally not understanding why the princess did this.

Weiwei thought: I must be crazy to want to ask for help from one pirate or to defeat another pirate.

But even so, she continued to shout to the crowd:

"I've seen your deeds at sea. You've been defeating pirates all along, right?"

"As the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, I beg you to help me and my country."

At this point, Princess Weiwei was already in tears:

"I already...don't know what to do."

At this moment, she was extremely desperate and was ready to kneel down and ask for help from the people in front of her.

Just as she was about to kneel down on her knees, she suddenly found herself being helped up.

"It hurts me to see a beautiful woman cry, so how could I let you do such a thing?"

Vivi looked up and saw that it was Sanji who helped her up.

At this time, Nami and Usopp also felt a little sad.

They both had similar experiences, the former being Clo's attempt to steal Kaya's family's wealth, and the latter being A-Long's brutal rule over his village.

This is also why they can empathize more.

"In that case, let our captain make the decision."

Bai Ye saw the expressions of the crowd and turned to look at Luffy.

"Will you agree to her request? Go to the Kingdom of Alabasta and defeat that Shichibukai."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Luffy.

Luffy tilted his head and continued:

"Sounds interesting. Then, let's go to Alabasta."

"Deal with that Baroque Studio!"

Hearing this, hope rekindled in Weiwei's eyes.

She looked at Luffy, then at Byakuya, Nami and the others.

Feeling their sincere gazes, her nose felt sore again.

This time it is no longer because of despair, but because of hope.

"But before we set sail, let's first deal with the two guys who have been hiding over there."

Sanji supported Princess Vivi and suddenly turned his head to one side and said.

"Hahaha, we were discovered?"

Hearing this, Miss Valentine, who was wearing a Gothic skirt and holding an umbrella, no longer hid.

She is the user of the Light-Float Fruit and can change her weight at will.

At this moment, she adjusted her weight to 0.1 kg and floated in the air.

"Princess Weiwei, I have some news that may disappoint you."

Valentine's Day partner, Mr. 5, also came out from beside her:

"The boss has already discovered your undercover identity. Valentine and I were sent to deal with you."

Then, he looked at the Straw Hat Pirates next to Vivi:

"Since you have already known the secret of our Baroque Studio, I have no choice but to keep you here."

"Listen carefully, I am the Explosive Man who ate the Explosive Fruit, I only need to..."

[Gen Gua——The Earth Dragon Roars! ]

Before Mr. 5 could finish his words, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, and then, like a predator, it quickly "bite" the two of them.

"What?!!" x2

Both of them looked at Bai Ye in astonishment.

Why doesn't this person have martial ethics?

Shouldn't you wait until I finish explaining the ability of the fruit, and then you reveal your own information, and both sides surprise each other before continuing the battle?

Don't you even listen to what others say?

Looking at the two people's confused expressions, Bai Ye said that he absolutely could not bear to see the scene of Mr. 5 picking his nose and using it as a bomb.

It's so fucking disgusting!!!

At this time, Princess Weiwei said:

“They are higher-ranking cadres than Ikalem and I, since they said my identity has been exposed.”

"Then it proves that time is running out."

"Mr. Luffy, Ms. Nami, Mr. Byakuya..."

Weiwei thought about it and shouted to them:

"I might have to get back to Alabasta as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Luffy also tapped his palm:

"Well, let's decide it. Our next destination is Alabasta."

"Oh!!!"

Everyone echoed.

But having said that, if you want to set off, you still need to record the pointer until it is fully charged with magnetism.

Everyone had no choice but to stay in the town for a while.

Fortunately, there is plenty of wine and food here.

"Princess Weiwei!"

Ikareem, dressed as a woman, suddenly appeared in front of everyone. His beautiful appearance almost made Sanji kick him.

"I decided to disguise myself as Her Royal Highness the Princess and leave first. This way I can at least divert some of the people from Baroque Studio from chasing me."

"Then we can..."

Ikalem's words were sincere and heartfelt, but Bai Ye suddenly interrupted:

"That's not necessary, uncle."

"No matter how many people are chasing you, just come."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "We are very strong!"

Ikalem: "That's what you said, but why does Lord Bai Ye look at others when he speaks?"

Bai Ye: What do you think of this look on your face? Don’t you have any idea of ​​what’s going on?

"Mr. Bai Ye is right, Ikalem," Weiwei said at this time:

"Just come back to Alabasta with us."

"No!" Bai Ye interrupted again:

"Although I said that uncle didn't need to sacrifice himself to divert the pursuit, I also didn't say that uncle had to go with us."

Ikalem, Weiwei: ???

"Hey, Bai Ye, just say all your words at once." Nami was speechless.

"Hahaha, sorry."

Bai Ye laughed and continued:

"My idea is very simple. Before we arrive in Alabasta to deal with Crocodile, let's let Uncle go back and solve some of the crises."

Weiwei: “Huh?”

Bai Ye flipped his wrist, and a brand new talisman appeared in his hand:

"I remember you said, Vivi, that Alabasta is suffering from a drought, right?"
