The King of the Shichibukai, [King of the Desert] Sand Crocodile, was publicly announced to be arrested by Dasqi in the square:

"In the name of the naval headquarters directly under the World Government, I will strip you of the 'Enemy Ship Capture Permit' you hold, as well as all the titles and rights granted to you by the World Government!"

The navy is preparing to escort the vehicle and plan to transport Crocodile to the dock overnight.

Leave it to Colonel Smoker and Colonel Hina

……

Rumble, rumble.

The wheels kept turning, making a loud roar.

Crocodile was imprisoned in a huge sea-stone prison car.

Crocodile looked at the figure in front of him with a grim smile.

"Haha, Leziman, I already know everything you have done."

There were clearly many marines guarding the prison car outside, but this figure still slipped in easily.

"Let Cobra, the fake benevolent king, lead the charge and attack the sandstorm, and then when the ants think the king is doomed, control the sandstorm to retreat.

Let the ants think that the sandstorm was defeated by them and Cobra together.

At this perfect time, let it rain.

Hahahaha, that group of ants without the ability to think, began to believe from the bottom of their hearts that Cobra is the chosen king who can defeat everything!"

Crocodile was tied with seastone handcuffs. He sat on the ground and leaned against the seastone wall, grinning at Qin Lang outside the cage:

"You are amazing! You actually staged this show of the Chosen King in front of those idiot ants!

Humph, it seems that I am far inferior to you in conspiracy and intrigue."

"Don't be ridiculous, you are still the best at plotting and scheming! I'm not as sinister as you."

Qin Lang knocked on the seastone cage, smiled at Crocodile who was tied with seastone handcuffs in the cage, and teased:

"Mr. Crocodile, this prison-style clothes suits you very well!

It seems that you have a better future as a prisoner than as a pirate. Studying in Impel Down City will be your ultimate destination. Crocodile said with a ferocious smile:

"Huh, Impel Down City? That is the number one prison that the world government is most proud of.

It seems that I am considered a big shot and am qualified to enter that kind of place. Qin

Lang said with a smile:

"Of course, for an influential person like you, the World Government neither wants to kill you nor let you continue to cause trouble.

It is a good choice to imprison you in Impel Down.

You can go there for further study first. One day in the future, I will come to find you."

Crocodile laughed strangely:

"Hahaha, it seems that you have already set your sights on Impel Down! What, is there someone you like and want to bring into Garuda?"

Crocodile's words revealed Qin Lang's thoughts.

There are indeed a few strong men that Qin Lang is very interested in, and they are now imprisoned in LEVEL6 at the bottom of Impel Down.

【Baroric Redfield

【Douglas Barrett

【Destroyer of Worlds] Bundy Waldo

【Shiliu of Rain] Shiliu

……

Qin Lang nodded and said without disguising:

"There are really a few guys in Advance City that I want to invite to join.

But having never interacted with them, I'm not sure whether they are eligible to join Garuda.

Let’s wait until I get there then. If they do not meet the standards of our organization, then simply kill them. Otherwise, keeping it will only increase hidden dangers."

"Guhahahaha, if you don’t comply, you’ll be killed? What a cruel man! Crocodile shrugged his shoulders with laughter, stared at Qin Lang and sneered:

"This is also in line with your character. Hahahaha, the king and the princess actually think you are a hero.

But little do they know that in the eyes of me, the vicious mastermind behind the scenes, you are a dangerous person who can destroy the whole world."

"Destroy the whole world?"

Qin Lang smiled indifferently and said:

"If you really want to do that kind of thing, it's really easy, isn't it?"

"……"

Crocodile was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and began to laugh loudly and uncontrollably:

"Guhahaha! Guhahahahaha……"

"Shut up! Be quiet!"

After hearing Crocodile's strange laughter, Dashiki, who was alert to the surroundings in the prison car, walked in cautiously with a knife in hand.

"Crocodile! You have been stripped of your status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! All of your B.W. Baroque Works members have been arrested by us! Don't try to play any tricks!"

"Guhahaha, I just heard a very funny joke, do you want to hear it?"

Krokdal looked at the area where Qin Lang was before with a grin.

It was empty.

Qin Lang had already disappeared without a trace.

It was too easy for Qin Lang to get in and out of this prison car without the admiral guarding it.

"I have no interest in the jokes told by a captured pirate!"

Dashiqi put her beloved sword back into the sheath and said seriously:

"There is no way you can escape from our navy! Crocodile stared at Dasqi and slowly showed a sinister expression:

"Run away? Don't worry, I definitely won't run away. Because I'm full of curiosity about the next journey. Guhahahaha……"

Crocodile's wild laughter came from the prison car, echoing in the dark night sky.

……

Hualala, hualala...

The rain that had not been seen for a long time continued to fall.

It moistened the land of the Kingdom of Alabasta that had been dry for too long.

In the Kingdom of Alabasta, many families cheered and were reluctant to go to bed.

People were so excited that they did not sleep all night, happily watching the rain falling outside, and slowly fell asleep until the early morning of the next day.

This rain lasted for three days.

At midnight on the third day, this long-lost sweet rain slowly stopped, and the clouds in the sky slowly dissipated.

"ticking……"

Rainwater fell from the eaves and gathered into a small puddle below.

""Pah!"

A foot accidentally stepped into a puddle.

The owner of the foot, Usopp, was holding two bags in his hands and looking around curiously:

"Everyone is tidying up their houses! So lively!"

"Da, da! Hey, do you have any more wood and nails? This needs repairing!"

The people who had fled from the capital Aruba have now returned to the royal city.

They are hammering and repairing their houses that were destroyed by war and storms. They don't complain about the destruction of their houses, but are working hard to repair them optimistically and actively.

"This country is so strong! Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth, holding a bag of purchased goods, and said with a smile:

"Because the princesses in this country are so cute!"

Usopp was speechless:

"There is no connection at all!"

A group of people not far away shouted angrily:

"Damn it, why have some holes been kicked out of these houses? Who did it?"

Usopp looked over there curiously:

"Wow! That's too much. It actually made such a big hole. It must be very troublesome to repair it."

"……"

Sanji looked away guiltily and laughed dryly:

"Hey, haha, Usopp, let’s go quickly! Luffy should be waking up soon, right?"

……

Outside the city, among the rubble

"call……"

Zoro held two huge rocks that were five meters high in his hands, holding them horizontally while breathing slowly.

"call……"

He has a lot of bandages on his body, all of which are scars caused by Mr. 1's slash.

Chopper repeatedly told Zoro not to exert too much force recently and not to exercise.

But it is obvious that Zoro is not a good patient who listens to the doctor's advice.

"I have initially understood the Haki of Armed Color and the Haki of Knowledge. The next step is to hone them continuously.……"

Zoro breathed slowly, immersed in this quiet cultivation atmosphere.

Buzz!

Several stones pierced the air sharply and hit Zoro's back.

Uh-huh!

Zoro disappeared under two rocks.

Two boulders pressed heavily on the ground

"snort! Someone from Baroque Works?"

Zoro stood upright in front of the attacker. [Sandai Guiteru] had already been unsheathed and pointed at the attacker's throat.

"Actually escaped……"

The skinny middle-aged man looked at Zoro with a smile and applauded:

"Very good. The domineering energy of seeing and hearing can be released at any time."

"Um? Zoro was stunned for a moment, then looked at this strange middle-aged man, frowned and said:

"Qin Lang?"

"Of course it's me."

The strange middle-aged man's appearance was distorted and turned into Qin Lang's appearance.

Qin Lang looked at Sauron with a smile:

"Disobeying Chopper and sneaking out to exercise?

Oh, you even took off the bandage privately?

Tsk, Chopper won't bite you to death when he goes back."

Zoro took back [The Third Generation Ghost], grinned and said:

"It's not comfortable to exercise with a bandage.

Besides, I have a strong recovery ability and I have almost recovered now."

"No matter how strong your resilience is, you still need to follow the doctor’s orders!

Even a strong man like Roger, the Pirate King, must obey the doctor's words.

Now, this is for you!"

Qin Lang threw something to Sauron with a smile.

Sauron caught it and found that it was a finger-long milky white mushroom.

"Eat it, this is a healing mushroom, it can make your body's wounds heal faster."

Zoro put the mushroom into his mouth and chewed it without hesitation.

"Hey! Is the effect so good?"

He was surprised to see tender flesh starting to grow on the wound, and asked curiously:

"Why didn't you give it to me before?"

Qin Lang flexed his fingers, unbuttoned his coat, and said with a smile:

"In order to prevent you from becoming dependent on it, eating healing mushrooms to recover after being injured will greatly reduce your own self-healing ability.

On the other hand, I am worried that you will develop a bad habit of exchanging injuries for injuries."

"Has the wound healed?……"

Sauron looked at Qin Lang with a fighting spirit, held the handle of the knife with one hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Qin Lang, you know what I want to do!"

"Of course, come on, I'm ready."

Qin Lang smiled and threw his coat on a dead branch beside him, and suddenly countless cold lights flashed on his body.

【Quick Cut Fruit] activates

"Come on, let me see how much you've grown! Sauron grinned fervently and said:

"Be careful, I'm much stronger than before!"

……

The black sword burst out of its sheath, slashing through the void and slashing towards Qin Lang.

Qin Lang's hands were covered with armed color domineering claws to meet Zoro's black sword.

……

A few minutes later, Qin Lang looked innocently at Sauron, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and scratched his head:

"Tsk, sorry, too serious. Anyway, the average person in our group is a blood cow. You should be used to bleeding, right?"
