Chapter 304 Crocodile Was Beaten Away
For everyone's strength, crossing the battlefield was not a difficult task. The murderous rebel army and the royal army could not stop everyone's footsteps. Soon, everyone escorted Weiwei outside the city gate.
However, the battlefield did not stop in front of the city gate. Everyone could see that countless rebel troops were pouring into the city, and the royal army defending the city had already been retreating steadily.
"It seems the city gate has been breached!" Usopp shouted.
"Go to the square!" Weiwei looked anxious: "If you want to completely capture Albana, you must occupy the palace, and the palace is located on a rocky hill, and the defense is tighter than the city gate."
"Most of the royal army must have been deployed in the square in front of the palace. Kosha knows Albana very well. He must have led the rebel army to the square. That will be the final battlefield."
Everyone speeded up and soon arrived at the central square of Albana.
Usopp raised his telescope and opened his mouth: "With so many people, how can we find the leader of the rebel army?"
At this time, in the huge square, only a dense crowd of fighting people could be seen. Hundreds of thousands of people were mixed together. Amidst the lights of swords and smoke and artillery, it was not even possible to see the faces of both sides. The enemy could only be judged by their clothing.
"We will definitely find it!" Weiwei said firmly, "We must find it!"
"But -" Usopp hesitated a little, "It's impossible no matter how you think about it. Moreover, even if it is really found, the two sides have been fighting like this, can the war really stop?"
Although Usopp's words were depressing, they were very realistic. Indeed, no matter what, this seemed like an impossible thing.
There was also a burst of despair in Weiwei's heart, but she gritted her teeth: "As long as everything is not over yet, there must be hope!"
She had no choice. If everything could not be reversed, she would rather die in the square with everyone.
"Mori-kun, everyone, go find the bomb. Leave it to me to prevent the war!"
She stubbornly wanted to rush into the melee in the square.
But Tang Sen stopped her.
"Weiwei, don't be impulsive." He said with a serious face: "What the long-nosed pirate said makes sense. In this situation, even the leader of the rebel army can't stop everyone."
"Sen-kun—" Weiwei struggled and shouted, "But... it's almost too late! Even if the hope is slim, what else can we do?"
"I think. I want to stop this war!" The despair accumulated in Weiwei's heart burst out, causing her to cry with tears streaming down her face: "No, no more people can die!"
"At this time, the more calm you have to be." Tang Sen held her shoulders:
"The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are here, and we must not pin our hopes on vain hopes."
He raised his head and looked at the royal palace towering on the rocky hill behind the square.
"There should be loudspeakers and telephone bugs ready in the palace, right?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Mori-kun. What do you mean?"
"We need to make some noise." Tang Sen said seriously: "Weiwei, if everyone can hear your voice, can you convince everyone to stop?"
Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up again.
"I know where the speaker phone bug is! That's right, we don't need to find Kousha, we just need to let Kousha and everyone hear my voice!"
She hesitated for a moment: "But I can't set up the loudspeaker equipment alone, and it takes a lot of time -"
"Leave the bomb to me." Tang Sen said without hesitation: "Pirates, escort Weiwei to the palace!"
"Hey, this is no joke!" Zoro said, "Can you do it alone?"
Townsend spread his hands: "If I and all the members of the Baroque Working Society in Albana can't find the bomb, then adding a few of you will not increase the success rate much."
"So, please trust me."
"You're much tougher than I thought, Straw Hat."
Crocodile wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Luffy lying on the sand, covered in blood.
"But that's it."
"The gap between you and me cannot be erased by willpower alone."
This battle was beyond Crocodile's expectations. He originally thought that he only needed to show off, act, and play casually with this new pirate. However, he did not expect that he would be attracted by the opponent's weird moves and unbridled ideas at the beginning. suppressed by his fighting style.
This new pirate seemed to be born for fighting. Crocodile clearly felt that as the battle progressed, the opponent's strength was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And even if he takes it seriously, he knocks the opponent down time and time again, even seriously injuring him. Such damage is already unbearable for ordinary people, but the opponent is always able to stand up again unreasonably and explode with stronger strength, even to the point of letting him. A hasty attack.
“It’s not over yet”
A weak voice came from Luffy's mouth. He moved his fingers and struggled to stand up again.
Crocodile frowned and began to feel irritable.
He ducked over and stepped on Luffy's palm.
"Straw Hat boy, have you used up the water you prepared? Now, you are not even qualified to hurt me."
Luffy half-squinted his eyes, grinning and gasping for breath, and he felt a surge of strength for no apparent reason. The hand that was stepped on by Crocodile directly turned to hold Crocodile's feet.
Crocodile was startled and tried to lift his feet again, but Luffy had already jumped up again and punched Crocodile hard in the face.
Crocodile flew backwards, only to be dragged back by Luffy.
"The water is gone. But if I use blood, I can still hit you."
"I have absolutely no reason to fall here. Absolutely, absolutely I will never let you take action against my partners again."
Luffy opened his mouth wide and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Zoro, Sanji, Vivi, everyone in this country, people like you, don't understand what you want to take away. What does it mean to everyone?”
"So, Sand Crocodile, I'm definitely going to be here—"
"Down with you!"
"Rubber machine gun!"
A violent storm of fists enveloped Crocodile's body. Crocodile was still in shock that the opponent could still stand up, and he withstood all the attacks.
This was the most powerful attack that condensed all Luffy's will at the limit. The ground continued to shake, and Crocodile's body sank with the strong attack until a big pit appeared on the spot.
"Huchi - Huchi -"
With the last punch thrown out, Luffy felt that his eyes were drowsy and he could no longer muster any energy.
He wandered up to Crocodile, looked at his body that had been hammered out of shape, and let out a long breath.
"I won!"
Bang.
He fell directly to the ground.
A gust of wind blew over, and Crocodile's body suddenly moved strangely.
Click.
The hands that were twisted due to fractures were straightened, and the broken spine was reconnected.
Crocodile stood up again.
"It almost capsized in the gutter."
