Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

Seeing someone approaching.

The ten guards stationed in front of the palace gate immediately drew the long swords at their waists and stared at the two people approaching the palace with vigilance.

As the distance got closer, one of the guards saw the face of the person coming clearly and recognized the identity of the man walking in front.

"Mr. Crocodile."

"You're here."

"Please wait a moment. I will go and inform His Majesty the King."

After recognizing Crocodile's identity, the guard immediately put his weapon back into the sheath.

Not only him, but also his colleagues and the two rows of guards stationed at the entrance of the palace and on the top of the city wall who had their rifles raised all put away their guard.

Although the Utopia Operation Plan has not yet been implemented, Crocodile has already established himself as a heroic figure in Alabasta over the years.

As a soldier stationed in the royal palace, when faced with Crocodile coming alone, even though the other party was a pirate, his first reaction was not to be on guard, but to step forward and greet him. Then, regardless of the other party's purpose, he asked the other party to wait for a moment while he immediately went to inform the king.

This is Crocodile's role in Alabasta.

"Should we notify King Cobra?"

"No need."

"I can go see him myself."

After hearing this, Crocodile glanced at the ten guards in front of him, then at the hundred guards on the city wall above. The corners of his mouth slowly opened up, revealing a creepy smile:

"Desert sword!"

Without waiting for the guards in front of him to react, he raised his arm and swung it. The giant sand blade mixed with strands of purple light split the palace gate, and also split the city wall that stood in front of him and blocked his progress.

As for the two guards closest to Crocodile, although they were not hit directly by the Desert Sword, the shock wave caused by breaking the palace walls and gate directly blew away the ten people.

"why?"

"Mr. Crocodile!"

Faced with the sudden change, the guards all had an expression of disbelief because the city wall collapsed, the gate cracked, and everything was staggering.

They all didn't understand why Crocodile, the hero of Alabasta, would suddenly attack the palace.

"I've already fought my way to the palace, don't you understand?"

"That's what I mean."

"The hero's game ends here."

Crocodile looked around and saw the soldiers rushing over after hearing the news. He opened his arms:

"Next."

"You are facing the King of the Desert."

"Shah Crocodile."

"Not some hero of Alabasta!"

After saying this in a slightly playful tone, Crocodile spread out his right hand, condensed a palm-sized sandstorm in his palm, and then swung it away.

bang

After the sandstorm flew out of his hand, it immediately grew more than a hundred times in size, turning into a violent sand tornado that rushed straight into the sky. No matter whether it was the guards who attacked with knives or the guards who were about to shoot him, all those who tried to stop him from moving forward and prevent him from obtaining the existence of Pluto were swallowed up by the desert tornado, swept into the sky, and then flew hundreds of meters away.

"Crocodale!"

"What do you want to do?"

Just as Crocodile was killing people at the entrance of the palace, Peru, the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, transformed into a falcon soaring in the sky and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

Seeing the collapsed city walls, the split city gates, and the numerous guards lying in disorder and unable to get up on the ground, he turned his head and stared at Crocodile, his eyes seemed to shoot out two sharp cold stars.

"Capture Alabasta."

Crocodile glanced at Peru, the person he wanted to see the most, and after saying a few words, he stepped forward and grabbed the other's throat with one hand.

"Flying claw."

Facing Crocodile's attack, Peru remained calm although frightened. He transformed into a human-beast form in mid-air and flapped his wings to avoid Crocodile's grabbing hand.

Relying on the air control ability of the Animal-Type Bird-Bird Fruit Falcon Form, he dodged while dragging a stunning arc in the air, and then circled behind Crocodile like a gust of wind.

锵

A pair of sharp claws grabbed Crocodile's back of the head with lightning speed.

The powerful claw force that was enough to crush granite exploded instantly and crushed Crocodile's head on the spot.

however.

The head was shattered, and what sprayed out was not blood or brain matter, but sand.

Not only that.

In the previous second, the head was shattered into sand, and in the next second, the sand in the sky gathered together to form Crocodile's head.

"Guhahahahaha."

"Can a mere animal system stop me?"

Crocodile grinned grimly, then the elements of his arm turned into sand, and he swung out a crescent-shaped sand blade with his backhand, slashing at Peru behind him.

Tsk

After being hit by the sand blade, Peru was not ripped open like the collapsed city gate.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't hurt at all.

But at the moment he was hit by the sand blade, all the water in his body was drained away, and he turned into a dry half-falcon, half-human mummy, falling to the ground from mid-air.

The lieutenant of the Kingdom Guard, known as Falcon Peru.

Killed instantly in one move.

"Perru!"

At this time.

Another lieutenant of the Royal Guard, Gaga, who is one of the guardians of Alabasta together with Peru, had just arrived at the scene belatedly with many guards.

What came into view was Peru, who had been drained of water, and many guards who had been blown away by the sandstorm and fell to the ground.

"Crocodale!"

When Gaka saw this scene, he knew that it was all Crocodile's doing.

At this point, he was too lazy to ask the other party's purpose. Just based on the fact that the man in front of him dared to attack the Alabasta Palace and kill so many guards, only one of the two sides could stand.

"kill!"

Gaka roared.

The hundred guards accompanying him immediately raised their guns and opened fire.

bang bang bang

Accompanied by a burst of dense gunfire, bullets filled the sky like a rainstorm, drowning Crocodile's body.

puff

Accompanied by a series of bullet-entering sounds, Crocodile's body was covered with nearly a hundred bullet holes, but what flowed out of the bullet holes was sand, not blood.

"Desert Sunflower!"

After enduring a wave of bullets, the smile on Crocodile's face became more ferocious.

He ignored the many guards present and slowly leaned over and placed his hands on the ground.

rustle

In an instant.

The ground shook and collapsed, and the rock layers shattered into sand.

The ground of the palace suddenly turned into quicksand that swallowed all life. All the guards who did not have the ability to fly could not escape the disaster. Their legs were wrapped by the quicksand, and they were dragged into the sand dunes and quickly buried deep in the earth.

"damn it!"

Faced with the expanding quicksand, Jaka jumped up and transformed into a huge jackal that was more majestic than a tiger. He flew over the sand dunes and pounced in front of Crocodile.

He opened his mouth wide and bit the opponent's neck with his sharp fangs.

"Aren't you still giving up?"

"I've already said it."

"You are nothing but a mere animal."

Crocodile glanced at Gaga coldly.

Although he was bitten, it didn't hurt him at all as he was the user of the Nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit, but it did damage his image to some extent.

At this time, there are still ten years before the future battle with King Luffy.

Although like Moonlight Moriah, he has wasted years in paradise and his strength has declined due to his defeat at Edward Newgate, but he has not regressed to the time period at the beginning of the original work.

There is a ten-year time difference and a huge difference in strength.

"Desert Greatsword!"

Crocodile remained leaning over with his hands on the ground, but just when Gaka's fangs were about to bite him, a sharp blade suddenly rushed out from the moving sand dunes.

puff

The sharp desert blade that rose from the ground, with its edge that penetrated the rock layers, pierced through Jakka in mid-air and hung him in the air.

"you!"

As an animal-type ability user, even if he is an ordinary species and has not awakened the fruit, his vitality is not to be underestimated.

A normal person who suffered the penetrating damage from the desert sword would have died instantly, but Jaka just vomited blood, and the blood kept flowing from the wound. His body was unable to move, but he did not die. Instead, he glared at Crocodile with gritted teeth.

"That's it."

"of course."

"It's not just you, it's the same in Alabasta."

Crocodile stared at Kaka, his eyes revealing a murderous look that was ready to devour anyone.

"Desert Prison!"

Crocodile reached out and pressed down on Gaga's wolf head, draining all the water from his body.

Either don’t do it or never do it.

Since he has decided to gamble everything, he will not hesitate at all to capture Alabasta and obtain the ancient weapon Pluto before the navy reacts and Rosen puts the collar on him.

Anyone who stands in my way will be killed.

If Buddha stands in the way, kill Buddha.

For the already out-of-control Crocodile, anything that stands in his way, no matter who it is, will be ruthlessly destroyed.
