(I wish everyone a happy New Year, may all your wishes come true in the new year, and be happy every day(▽｀)
"Want to stop the desert tornado? I advise you not to waste your efforts.
Even if you kill me now, it's useless. My fruit power is just an introduction. The current sandstorm has become a natural disaster in nature.
You and everyone in Alabasta, no one will be able to escape in the end, and all of you and this kingdom will be buried in the yellow sand."
Facing the current situation, even though he, the king of the desert who had eaten the "Sand Sand Fruit", was helpless against the sandstorm in front of him, Crocodile did not believe that Wood, an arms dealer, could do anything to prevent the disaster in front of him.
"Krokdal, just like what you said to Straw Hat, the world is very big.
Just like a king of the Shichibukai will be defeated by a new pirate, there are many things you can't think of, but that doesn't mean it's impossible."
While Wood was talking, he slowly pulled out two large sharp knives from his waist and inserted them into the ground in front of him.
But when he saw the long sword unsheathed, Zoro in the Straw Hat Gang's eyes widened. With his level as a swordsman, it was not difficult to see that the swords in Wood's hands were two famous swords.
A swordsman who holds a famous sword may not necessarily be very strong, but a swordsman who can control a demon sword must not be weak!
After all, just like a powerful swordsman will choose a good sword, those demon swords will also choose their master.
Forget about the morning dew, but Sauron could feel that the demonic sword aura of the other sword in Wood's hand, "Tianku", was much stronger than that of the third-generation ghost sword in his hand.
If the opponent can easily surrender, it means that the opponent is at least a "swordsman" level being.
Because this is a pirate world, the magic circle that would have appeared in the "Jobless Reincarnation" world did not appear in this world. In other words, the magic circle that appeared was only visible to Wood himself.
But it is undeniable that Wood is able to extract magic power and can also transform it into magic for use.
"Water King Level Magic·Haurei Cumulus!"
At the same time that Wood inserted the long knife into the ground, an invisible shock wave suddenly erupted from Wood, and a huge blue magic circle also spread out in all directions with Wood as the center.
However, it is a pity that the magic circle can only be seen by people with magic power. However, apart from Wood, there is probably no other person with magic power in this world.
Although Princess Weiwei and others could not see the huge magic circle on the ground at this moment, they could feel the sudden burst of aura from Wood, indicating that the other party must have done something.
They didn't let everyone wait for too long. Soon, as a huge shadow shrouded the sky, Princess Weiwei and others were shocked to discover that the entire sky above Albana, the royal road, had been covered by a layer of darkness from unknown time.
Shrouded in thick dark clouds!
The thick dark clouds gave people an extremely dull and oppressive feeling, and as a fork-shaped thunder flashed in the sky, the next second there was a thunder that echoed throughout Alabasta, echoing in everyone's ears.
The only thing that has been able to fight against natural disasters since ancient times is naturally another kind of natural disaster!
The silver-white thunder was unusually conspicuous in the sky that turned as dark as ink. Facing the raging desert tornado, the roaring thunder in the sky seemed to tell the other party who was the most terrifying disaster in the world.
The tornadoes soaring into the sky stirred up the thunderclouds, and the thunderclouds were not to be outdone and fired out thunderous javelins in response.
They are both the power of heaven and earth, but in the end it is obviously the thunder above the sky that is superior.
Although the world-destroying tornado was strong, it could not withstand the continuous bombardment of thunder. As the waves of thunder greeted one after another, the size of the desert tornado became smaller and smaller until it was finally completely dispersed.
However, the matter did not end there. In addition to its huge destructive power, the desert tornado also brought a massive amount of sand due to strong winds.
Now that the storm has subsided, the sand was not destroyed by the thunder, but was slowly blown into the city like rootless duckweed.
Even if there is no raging storm, if the sand falls in the city, there is no doubt that one-third of the entire town will be buried by the sand.
However, compared to the situation where it would have been completely swallowed by the sand, Cobra and Princess Vivi felt that only one-third of the town in Alba was buried, which was quite a surprise.
As long as the entire Albana is not covered by wind and sand, many people in the royal capital can survive, and casualties will be greatly reduced. The sand that buries the town can also be cleared out later.
It can only be said that the current situation is much better than the previous situation of life and death.
However, just when Cobra and Princess Vivi were about to step forward to thank Wood for saving the kingdom, they discovered that Wood did not leave the place where he was standing, but looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
Before Princess Weiwei and the others could ask why, a drop of cold rain suddenly hit her face.
As the first drop of rain fell, like a chain reaction, more raindrops began to fall from the thick dark clouds in the sky, and soon turned into a downpour.
The wind and sand that were originally scattered in the air when the storm disappeared were now washed away by the heavy downpour and fell outside the town.
The majestic heavy rain not only dispersed the gloom that had gripped Alabasta for three years, but also brought all disputes to a halt.
At this moment, there is no so-called rebel army or royal army, only the citizens of Alabasta cheering in the rain.
For these people living at the grassroots level, they don't care who the king is. Their only wish is to live well.
"What a misstep. Before the rain, I should have put on a layer of protection for myself. Now my body is also soaked, and most of my strength has fallen off in an instant.
Well, forget it, this feeling of being soaked in the rain seems pretty good..."
Compared with the people in Alabasta who fell into carnival due to the sudden heavy rain, there are naturally some people who are unhappy. For example, at this moment, a certain person was lying on the ground with a "big" posture, looking at the falling rain, with a face full of fear.
The desert king of faith.
No one knew better than Crocodile why there was a severe drought in Alabasta, so he was even more shocked at how it could suddenly rain under such circumstances.
"You actually ate a devil fruit too...
And you actually violated our previous agreement and saved Princess Vivi and the Straw Hat Boys!"
Previously, Crocodile heard reports from his subordinates that a strong man had saved some of Princess Weiwei's people, and he felt that his subordinates were making excuses for his failure.
But based on what Princess Weiwei just said, Crocodile finally understood that the so-called strong man was the bastard Wood!
"In a sense, I did break the promise, but if it hadn't been for my reminder, you wouldn't have paid so much attention to the Straw Hat Boys in the first place.
To put it bluntly, although Princess Weiwei rushed to Albana, she was unable to prevent the conflict between the royal army and the rebel army.
Also, I helped the Straw Hat Boys once, but I also helped you once, but you didn't find out why Fire Fist Ace never appeared in front of you when you were fighting the Straw Hat Boys?"
"One last thing to correct, that is, the ability I use is not a devil fruit, but the power of magic!
So now I am not only a swordsman, but also a magician who can create miracles."
Hearing Wood's serious words, Crocodile let out a sigh of relief.
Crocodile had reluctantly accepted Wood's words about saving Princess Vivi and the others.
After all, Princess Vivi did not cause much hindrance to him in his subsequent plans, and Wood was able to help him stop Fire Fist Ace. Strictly speaking, he was the one who made the most money.
However, it was a pity that he was the one who lost in the end, even though the Fire Fist Ace that he thought was difficult was blocked by Wood.
As for the big sandstorm that finally swept through Albana, Wood chose to take action, and Crocodile had nothing to say.
Because since he lost to the Straw Hat Kid, his bet with Wood ended with his failure.
Now that the bet is over, Wood can naturally take action next, not to mention that this big sandstorm has also affected him. Even though he said it was for self-protection, Crocodile did not refute it at all.
However, Wood said that his abilities did not come from Devil Fruits, but from so-called "magic", which made Crocodile scoff.
It is completely understandable that some powerful people do not want to reveal their own information, but there is no need to use "magic" to fool children.
"These days, there are many people who believe lies, and occasionally I tell the truth, but no one believes me." Wood sighed silently in his heart.
Of course, not everyone present did not believe Wood's words at all.
For example, a certain rubber boy who was originally being supported and even beaten to the point of dying, when he heard the novel term "magic", his eyes suddenly sparkled and he looked at Wood with excitement.
"Magic! So handsome! So you are the legendary magician..."
A certain rubber boy looked at Wood with excitement, and just when he was about to ask him if he had a chance to learn magic, his severely injured body and head suddenly received another critical blow!
"Idiot, how can such a thing as magic exist? The other party is obviously lying to you."
And what surprised Wood was that the opponent's critical attack magically smashed a huge bag on the head of Luffy, who was a rubber man!
Wood could clearly see that the orange-haired girl with a proud figure clearly did not use "Armed Haki", but she did cause tons of damage to Luffy, who was a rubber man.
Moreover, Luffy, who had suffered so many attacks from Crocodile before and even entered a poisoned state without falling into a coma, was actually beaten straight into unconsciousness when he took this blow from the opponent!
"Sure enough, the rumors from the past life are true. A certain navigator lady who is obsessed with money is the most powerful among the Straw Hats.
The so-called three powerful forces of the Straw Hat Pirates, in front of Nami, are simply unable to withstand the power of the opponent's blow."
Looking at Luffy being beaten, Wood silently complained that the guesses of his water friends in his previous life were indeed correct.
The so-called "weak trio" of the Straw Hats are the real low-key bosses of the Straw Hats.
Under certain circumstances, one-punch Nami can directly ignore the difference in combat power, or even the opponent's physical condition, and overwhelm the three combat powers.
There is also Chopper, the reindeer who is so low-key that he holds a bounty worth a newspaper from Bailey. He only acts cute every day, but at critical moments, he can rub Chopper, a reindeer worth hundreds of millions, on the ground.
There is also the god Usopp who always confuses everyone with his persona of a braggart, but can always create miracles at critical moments and completely turn the tide of the battle.
To be honest, Wood felt quite emotional when he saw that the characters he liked so much in his previous life were now vividly appearing in front of him.
But as far as he is concerned, the Straw Hats are just a new group of new pirates. To put it bluntly, Wood now has them with both hands and feet, and can easily destroy them with just headbutts.
.
"Thank you very much for saving us and our kingdom again. Can I take the liberty of asking, what is your name?"
Forgetting the previous time, Wood had helped them twice, and this time he even saved the entire Alabasta. Princess Vivi felt that it would be too disappointing if she didn't even know the name of her benefactor.
In fact, given Wood's popularity, few people in the New World would not recognize his face.
However, this is the first half of the Grand Line, and Wood's wanted order was from more than ten years ago. Now that the World Government has given up on hunting him, it has not issued a new reward order for Wood.
More than ten years have passed, and Wood's appearance is still somewhat different from before. What's more, after he developed in the weapons company, he has been active in the New World. It is quite normal for Princess Vivi and Cobra to not recognize Wood.
matter.
"Actually, I'm just a handsome businessman passing by, or..."
"Guhahahahaha, you don't think of this guy as a good person, do you?
This guy is known as the "Ancient Weapon" on the sea. Even the world government has given up on hunting down the truly evil villain, the Marine Traitor Wood!
Compared to this guy, the so-called "King Shichibukai" is just a minor figure. Do you think this guy is really sincere about saving Alabasta?
He just does it for the same reason..., no, maybe this guy has greater ambitions, and your Alabasta may not be able to satisfy his appetite."
Seeing that Princess Weiwei regarded Wood as a good person, Crocodile couldn't help laughing mockingly.
Wood originally wanted to use the previous excuse to introduce himself, but Crocodile on the side had already opened his mouth to break up the trouble.
When they heard that Wood was the Navy traitor Wood who had a bounty of one billion Baileys on his head and had done a series of great things, the expressions of the Straw Hats and Princess Vivi were also different.
The mood of Princess Vivi and Cobra at this moment is, what is the reason for such a big man to help them in Alabasta? Is it really what Crocodile said?
The Straw Hats looked at Wood in front of them in surprise, because this was the person Luffy had always said he wanted to defeat?
