"Let Crow lead the team, why don't you go yourself?"
Annan snapped his fingers, and the two corpses on the ground burst into flames, and soon turned into ashes.
"When things like this happened before, weren't you always at the forefront?"
"That was before. Ever since I fought against the Golden Lion, I have no interest in wars between ordinary people."
Esther straightened his hat and said, "Compared to grand wars, I prefer fighting with strong men. When this mission is over, we will find a place to have a good discussion."
"Okay." Annan nodded, "But what you said is a bit weird. I always feel like something is going to happen."
"If it's unlucky, don't... huh?"
Esdeath suddenly looked around.
"strangeness?"
Esdeath said doubtfully.
"What, someone is coming?"
Annan subconsciously used the color of seeing and hearing, but found nothing.
"I just felt like someone was watching me." Esdeath frowned slightly.
"Forget it, let's go to the palace first."
After Annan and Esdeath left, several hands with eyes and ears gradually disappeared in a nearby corner.
In the palace, Robin opened his eyes.
She didn't recognize the woman, but wasn't the man with the knife the same Marine who arrested Fire Fist?
"The Navy finally intervened," Robin sighed in his heart.
"What are you doing?"
Crocodile asked.
Near him, Kobra, the king of Alabasta, had his arm nailed to the wall with two spikes, and blood was dripping to the ground.
"I saw a group of marines coming here, and among them was the pirate who captured Fire Fist." Robin chuckled, "I'm here now, probably because of Fire Fist."
"Afraid that Fire Fist will take the opportunity to escape from prison? He is really a navy with a sense of justice."
Crocodile took a sip from his cigar and showed a meaningful smile.
"However, there is such a big turmoil in Alabasta, and everyone is exhausted. It is reasonable for Fire Fist to escape from prison."
"If you want to release Fire Fist Ace, how will the World Government respond?"
When talking about the world government, Robin's tone was obviously filled with disgust.
"This is not a let go, but a deal." Crocodile said.
"Trade? With whom? Could it be..."
Robin's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of an impossible but very reasonable object.
Crocodile glanced at Weiwei and Jaka, the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, who were not far away, and sneered.
"Actually, I am skeptical about whether 'Pluto' exists in this country. Even if it is not here, I am bound to win this country. The king's army who are loyal to you in the square will be my future.
What a big obstacle."
"what are you up to?"
Weiwei suppressed her fear and asked.
"Of course it's about removing obstacles."
Crocodile said matter-of-factly.
"I have given an order for bombardment. At 4:30 in the afternoon, that is, thirty minutes later, this place will be bombarded by powerful artillery shells. Whether it is the king's army, the rebel army, or the navy, they will be buried in the artillery fire together.
.”
"That's a special artillery shell that can destroy a five-kilometer radius. At that time, the scenery seen from here will definitely take on a completely new look."
"Are you crazy? You bastard!"
Kobra gritted his teeth and roared.
"Thirty minutes! Five kilometers! If you do this..." Weiwei was stunned for a moment, but soon, the surprise turned into helplessness, and then turned into hysterical anger.
"How could you do such a thing! How did those people offend you?!"
"Why do you keep showing this expression? It's really boring."
Crocodile looked disdainful, "Shouldn't you be happy? Don't you also want to stop the rebellion?"
"According to my calculations, the rebels will arrive at the square in twenty minutes. By then, the most brutal war will break out. Rather than spending a lot of time destroying the palace, wouldn't it be more straightforward to blow them up?"
Crocodile chewed his cigar and looked at Kobra.
"Okay, Kobra...King, let's talk about something more important. Where is the place where the historical text is recorded?"
"Historical text? What is that? Forget it, it's not important."
A voice that did not belong to anyone on the field came from above.
Looking up, a young and beautiful woman was sitting on the top floor of the palace. She was wearing a white military uniform, white boots, and a military cap with a navy logo on her head.
Esdeath bent her right knee, hung her left leg, raised her hand to press the brim of her hat, letting her white cloak whistle in the wind, and lowered her head to look at the people below.
It's the Navy!
At the same time, there was a loud noise from the gate, flames flashed, and the originally sealed palace gate was instantly broken open.
"The door was broken down by the Navy!"
"Great, the navy must have discovered Crocodile's conspiracy and came to arrest him!"
"As expected of the navy, let's go rescue the king and princess!"
Amidst the cheers of the king's army, Annan walked up, followed by the kingdom's elite troops.
"Oh, the royal family of Alabasta and the Shichibukai are here. It seems that the time is just right." Annan put his left hand on the scabbard, glanced around and said.
"Are you going to take action against me? Annan."
Crocodile bit his cigar and stared at Annan in front of him. This was the critical moment of the plan and there could not be any surprises.
"I don't want to fight with you, the crocodile, but on the way here, I caught two gangsters who were killing people and setting fires everywhere. They all said that you ordered them to do this. Do you want to explain?
"Annan said.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Those are all baseless accusations. I will not admit them. Come back to me when you have conclusive evidence."
Crocodile smiled and said, "After all, I am still the Shichibukai."
"That's right, you are still a Shichibukai now." Annan curled his lips, pushed the blade away with his thumb, and struck Crocodile's neck with a slash.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bang!
Crocodile's head exploded instantly, turned into flying sand and quickly recovered.
"Annan!!"
Crocodile looked gloomy and stared at Annan.
"Don't be impatient yet." Annan pulled out Huang, "The bosses already know all your bad things. The title of Shichibukai will be revoked soon. I will watch you now and arrest you when the time comes.
.”
After all, Crocodile is a veteran Shichibukai, and his strength must not be underestimated, but Annan is not afraid, after all, Esdeath is on the side to hold the battle, if it doesn't work, just fight two against one.
As soon as Annan's words came out, Crocodile's expression suddenly turned bad. On the other hand, Weiwei and Kobra seemed to have taken reassurance.
Esdeath ignored Crocodile and kept staring at Robin with his ice-blue eyes.
"I know you, the son of the devil, Nico Robin, have a bounty of 81 million Baileys." Esdeath said, "I didn't expect you to be here."
"You were able to destroy six naval warships when you were less than ten years old. That's really impressive. When I was your age, I was still hunting in the jungle."
"BOSS, we seem to have encountered a more troublesome opponent." Robin said softly.
Years of being on the run had made her extremely alert, and Robin could feel the dangerous aura emanating from the female marine.
"Really? I don't think so."
Crocodile quickly reacted, "It doesn't matter whether I am a Shichibukai or not. What is important is that I am still a Shichibukai. We are together."
"Besides, compared to me, there are more dangerous people waiting for you in the navy."
"Um?"
Looking at Crocodile with a sinister smile on his face, Annan looked confused.
……………………
At this moment, along the Santa Dora River.
A pirate ship docked on the shore.
"This is the Kingdom of Alabasta, and Ace is imprisoned somewhere in this kingdom."
A pineapple head put away the permanent pointer in his hand and looked at the outline of Albana in the distance.
"The World Government handed Ace over to the Qibukai and the custody of Shah Crocodile. As long as we find him, we can find out Ace's whereabouts."
"Hmm... Crocodile was once a defeated general under my father. It's really strange that he would tell us this information."
Behind him, a big man folded his arms and looked serious.
"Although I didn't tell dad about this operation, no matter what, Marco, we must take Ace back and we can't let him do anything wrong."
