(Whoops, I forgot to update again today. I’m sorry. Everyone, although I know there aren’t many people who are following me, I’d better apologize in advance (Д)”
No, if the opponent is the Marine traitor Wood, Luffy, who has always regarded him as an imaginary enemy, shouldn't be able to recognize him, right?
No, considering that the Wood that Luffy saw in the newspaper was from more than ten years ago, and Luffy's special face recognition ability..., it is not impossible that he did not recognize the other person.
"Captain, the navy has entered Albana. With our current status, it seems inconvenient to contact them."
Robin flapped her wings and stayed in front of Wood. Due to the heavy rain, her clothes were soaked at the moment, and her graceful figure was clearly revealed in front of Wood.
"If you don't mind, you can hide in our palace."
The one who spoke was Princess Vivi. Cobra who was standing by the side wanted to say something, but when he saw the determined look on Vivi's face, he immediately chose to remain silent.
Weiwei has grown up. To be honest, if his daughter hadn't found the Straw Hats for help this time, the Neferutali royal family's many years of foundation might have been ruined in his hands.
Therefore, Cobra respects the choice made by Vivi, and no matter what the purpose of the navy traitor Wood is, he has indeed saved their kingdom just now.
Weiwei has similar thoughts, and she is very confident in her judgment of people, just like she originally chose to believe in the Straw Hat Pirates.
Weiwei could tell that Wood, unlike Crocodile, was not the kind of vicious and ambitious pirate.
Moreover, with the strength that Wood had shown before, if they really wanted to do something to Alabasta, they would not be able to resist at all given their abilities.
So if that's the case, it's better to show the spirit of the "Naferutali" royal family here and show the gratitude you should have to your benefactor.
"Krokdal, one of the former King of the Shichibukai, we have collected enough evidence to prove that you violated the regulations with the World Government and did illegal things to the desert country of Alabasta.
Now the Navy Headquarters has issued an arrest warrant, expelling you from the title of King Shichibukai, and taking you back to the headquarters for disposal..."
Smoker jumped onto the open-air balcony of the palace, holding two long-handled juju in both hands, and biting a cigar that had been extinguished by the rain. He was originally reciting his lines according to the procedure.
However, when he saw a certain figure in front of him, his voice stopped suddenly and his body began to tremble violently.
"Colonel Smoker...?"
The bespectacled beauty Dasqi looked at her boss Smoker and clearly felt that something was wrong with him.
However, just when Dasqi was about to ask in detail, he discovered that Smoker's lower body had turned into a burst of white smoke, and he rushed over holding two crosses in both hands.
Seeing Smoker rushing towards him, Sanji and Zoro immediately stood in front of the unconscious Luffy.
They knew the navy in front of them, the captain of the navy in Rogge Town. For some unknown reason, the other party was chasing them like a mad dog, thinking only of killing Luffy.
However, just when Sanji and Zoro were on guard, dragging their seriously injured bodies to prepare for Smoker's offensive, they discovered that Smoker's target was not them at all, but another person on the field.
"Hey, Smoker, long time no see. After all, he was my former little brother. How come after so many years, he is still just a naval captain."
Looking at Smoker flying towards him, Wood looked calm. In the past, he could beat Smoker, but now he can still do it, and it's easier.
Taking advantage of the speed of the white smoke erupting, Smoker rushed towards Wood and stabbed the cross in his hand directly towards Wood.
However, I originally thought that I would be able to defeat Smoker, but I found that my cross was easily caught by Wood's outstretched fingers before it even touched him.
"White Snake!"
The large cross in his hand was restrained, and Smoker, who felt that he could not shake it, quickly gave up the cross in his hand and instead used his arm to use the "Smoke Fruit" ability.
The arm completed its elementalization and turned into a giant snake of white smoke, which directly entangled Wood's body heavily.
Seeing Wood who was hit by the attack, Zoro and Sanji also looked disgusted. The three strongest members of the Straw Hat Pirates had also been hit by this attack before.
The white smoke looks fragile, but is actually extremely difficult to break free from.
If it hadn't been for the sudden storm, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave Rogge Town successfully.
"What? Do you think you can catch me with this kind of ability?"
As Wood's body erupted with a powerful energy, it was like the white smoke wrapped around his body by shackles, which was immediately shaken away.
Then in Smoker's sight, a black fist continued to enlarge in front of him!
"This bastard is still the same as before, he only hits people in the face!" Smoker just had this thought in his mind, and his face had already received a friendly punch, and his body was like a cannonball
Fly out upside down.
As for Sanji and Zoro who were watching the battle, they were completely stunned!
They found it extremely difficult, and no matter how they attacked, Colonel Smokey, who could not be harmed at all, was actually punched away without the ability to fight back?
"Smog, how come it's been so many years and you still haven't made any progress at all?
And since you ate the Devil Fruit, you seem to have relied too much on the fruit's ability. To be honest, your current level of physical skills is even slightly inferior to..."
"Shut up! Don't scold me like a brother! Ever since you chose to betray the navy, we have been on opposite sides!
You obviously have high hopes, why did you choose the path you are on now? What do you know?
In order to gain power close to yours as soon as possible, I can only choose to eat the Devil Fruit!"
Before Wood could finish his words, he was interrupted by Smoker, who had been beaten into panda eyes. From the weapon he raised again, it was easy to see that the other party had no intention of giving up just yet.
"Then let me show you, even if you eat a Devil Fruit, you will never be able to make up the absolute gap!
In the new world, domineering power is the mainstream, and devil fruits are nothing more than the power of external objects."
After Wood pulled Chaolu out of the ground, his whole body's temperament suddenly changed, and Zoro, a swordsman beside him, felt a great sense of oppression from Wood's body.
He had experienced this feeling before, when he met the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, at a restaurant on the sea.
But being captured by Hawkeye's momentum, Sauron took a long time to finally draw his sword in front of Hawkeye.
And now Zoro also feels the aura of a top swordsman in Wood, and unlike the sharp-edged feeling before, the aura exuded by Wood is quite restrained.
Under normal circumstances, Wood does not feel that dangerous, but when he pulls out the long knife at this moment, he gives people the feeling of a strong sense of oppression with a sharp blade unsheathed!
The galloping wind roared out of the sword, and turned into a crescent-shaped slash that exploded out. When the slash hit the wind and exploded in front of Smoker, it had already reached a size of tens of meters.
Faced with such an astonishing attack, Smoker did not dare to be careless at all, and directly protected the two large ten hands in front of him.
However, when the crescent-shaped slash was thrust in front of him, he realized how huge the gap between him and Wood was now.
Feeling the force coming from his ten hands, Smoker used all his strength to resist as he passed by, but the huge impact still sent him flying in an instant.
A large number of sparks flew out between the crescent-shaped slashes and crosses, and the powerful impact forced Smoker's feet to directly plow two deep ravines on the ground.
"boom------!"
The cyan crescent-shaped slash hit Smoker and plowed a distance of tens of meters, and finally hit the wall and flew out. The cross in his hand finally flew out under the heavy pressure.
His body was even split into two by Crescent Slash in the air!
But fortunately, when Wood slashed, he did not add armament-colored domineering energy to the "Morning Dew" in his hand, so when Crescent Slash split Smog in two, he did not shed any blood, but directly
Turned into a ball of white smoke.
The slash flew through the white smoke, flew out from the palace of Alabasta, and finally landed in an uninhabited land under the city, instantly leaving a huge gully several miles long on the ground!
Seeing the huge ravine caused by the attack below the palace, the Straw Hats, Princess Vivi and others were instantly stunned.
Especially Zoro among the Straw Hats, who was holding the three long knives on his waist excitedly at this moment, eager to challenge Wood.
When fighting Mr1 before, Zoro realized the "breath of all things", reached the state of "cutting iron", and successfully became a "swordsman" level swordsman.
And the feeling of Wood in front of Sauron is not inferior to that of Hawkeye, the greatest swordsman in the world.
He could not meet Hawkeye for the time being, but in order to verify his achievements in improving his realm this time, Sauron felt that Wood was an excellent challenger.
The white smoke that was divided into two halves slowly came together, and the figure of Smoker, standing on the ground with one hand, condensed on the ground.
As soon as Smoker recovered from his elemental transformation, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Although Wood's slash just now did not use the power of "dominance", Smoker's attempt to block Wood's slash at first caused him to suffer a certain degree of internal injuries.
Moreover, although Smoker escaped the slashing attack through elementalization in the end, the great swordsman's sword energy still affected his elementalization to some extent.
Seeing that Smoker, who had always been extremely powerful in his mind, was easily seriously injured by the pirate in front of him, Taschi drew out Shigure and originally planned to fight.
However, just as she pulled out the long sword, a hand suddenly appeared on her arm, and used the hand knife to knock the sword out of Dasqi's hand.
Even before Dasqi could react, two hands grew out of her waist again, like shackles, locking her hands at her waist.
Seeing his subordinates being restrained, Smoker was furious and just about to take action, when a figure appeared behind him without any warning, and a long knife that had been covered with armed domineering force was directly placed on Smoker's head.
on the neck.
When they saw Wood appearing behind Smoker, the Straw Hats and others were shocked to find that Wood's figure had left the place at some point.
Although they were nearly a hundred meters away, they had already completed the transfer of the opponent's figure in just a blink of an eye. To them, this speed was not much different from teleportation.
"Smorg, how about stopping the fighting right now? If I remember correctly, the World Government should have stopped arresting me long ago, right?
Even if you are a navy and I am a pirate, there is not enough reason to arrest me now.
And if I were to kill you, a naval captain, here, and I would be wanted by the World Government again, it would be very troublesome for me."
Smoker, who went his own way and often ignored orders from his superiors, naturally did not intend to accept Wood's suggestions at this moment.
And Wood seemed to have expected it. Before Smoker could refuse, he hit the opponent's neck with a knife and instantly knocked him to the ground.
After bringing Smoker down, Wood looked at Smoker's beautiful subordinate Dasqi and said: "Smoger has been like this before, his head is a bit shaky, and there is no point in trying to reason with him.
Corporal Daski, right? The order you received should be to help Alabasta suppress the rebellion and arrest His Majesty Shichibukai Crocodile.
The scarred face lying on the ground over there is Crocodile. The matter in Alabasta has been resolved, and the culprit Crocodile has been defeated.
You take him back to claim the credit, and everyone will treat him as if he has never met him before, is that okay?"
Dasqi is also a person with a strong sense of justice. Naturally, she will not choose to compromise with the pirates at this moment. However, compared to Smoker, she is not as decisive.
When Wood put the knife on Smoker's neck and threatened his life, Dasqi could only make a compromise.
Not to mention that they do not have the right to arrest Wood and the others. Even if they have the qualifications, their current combat power is simply not enough to arrest Wood and the others.
Not only Smoker, but also herself and the other naval soldiers in Alabasta at this moment. If Wood really had his thoughts, none of them would be able to leave.
After packing up Smoker and Crocodile, who lost all resistance, the Alabasta Navy began to retreat and reported the matter here to the headquarters.
However, soon, Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit, the associate general at the Navy Headquarters, set off all the way from Marineland, preparing to go to Alabasta to escort Crocodile to Impel Down City.
After all, he is one of the former King's Shichibukai, and his status still holds some weight, so it is quite normal for our headquarters to send Vice Admiral Momotu, who is currently second only to the current admiral of the navy.
Of course, in addition to escorting Crocodile this time, the purpose of sending Peach Rabbit is also to help Alabasta completely suppress the chaos within the kingdom.
Although Alabasta has been basically pacified after the fall of Crocodile, King Shichibukai is the decision-making of the World Government. Now that something like this is happening, some appeasement is necessary.
