Chapter 252: So Familiar
Looking at the desert port in front of him, feeling the heat and aridity in the air, Crocodile couldn't help showing a satisfied expression on his face, and laughed loudly, "Gu Hahaha! Alabasta, I'm here again!"
The climate and environment here is simply the most powerful home field for him. He really likes it!
However, when he saw this port, he couldn't help but think of that nightmare.
As soon as I logged in, someone took the Hailou stone and smeared my face!
Being coerced into sailing!
The ship was washed up into the sky by a huge current!
Fall from a height of thousands of meters!
As various unbearable memories flashed through Crocodile's mind one by one, the expression on his face gradually became heavy, but then, he couldn't help showing a look of joy!
Because he is not dead!
Great Fortune!
Although he fell into the sea from a height of several thousand meters, and it was raining and unable to use the fruit ability, but luckily, a naval warship happened to pass by at that time, so he survived!
Of course, it's also a loss that he didn't have a bounty at the time!
After that, he was sent by the navy to the Whiskey Mountain, and after a few months of training there, and after recruiting some people, he set off again!
And his goal is Alabasta!
Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is not to face failure!
So even though he failed to log in here last time, this time he decided to log in again!
"Boss, look!"
At this moment, behind him, an old man with white hair, sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, glasses, a sweater, a revolver at his waist, and his hands were shaking, walked to Crocodile, pointed to the boat beside him, his face A flash of greed flashed on!
Looking at the sixty-year-old old man in front of him, Crocodile's face was covered with black lines.
If he could, he didn't want to recruit such an old man!
But no way!
Talent is not easy to recruit!
He had been preparing for a full year before to find his favorite navigator, ship doctor, crew member, etc.!
But those were all dead after being washed up into the sky by the huge current!
He is the only one left!
It is difficult and troublesome to recruit again!
During his several months at Whiskey Peak, he had recruited a dozen or so crew members who could not compare with the previous ones, but were barely qualified.
Among them, Navigator, as the most important role in the great waterway, is even more difficult to recruit. In the past few months, he has interviewed more than ten times one after another, and in the end, only this old man is suitable!
This old man with trembling hands is named Jack!
Well, it's a very common name. There are too many people in this world who call it this, almost one in every few hundred people!
But the name is vulgar, but the person is not vulgar!
When he was young, he was a navigator who had gone to the second half of the great waterway!
Later, due to various reasons, the pirate group he belonged to was wiped out by a more powerful pirate group, and he escaped by himself with the legacy of the pirate group!
After that, he fled back to the first half of the Great Passage and stayed at Whiskey Peak!
And the reason why he accepted Crocodile's solicitation this time was not only because his lavish spending in the past 30 years had led to the bottom of his wallet and was ready to make another vote, but also because of the strength and potential of Crocodile, a natural fruit capable person. s reason!
He and Crocodile can be said to be kings looking at mung bean, and they met each other's eyes!
Crocodile needs an experienced navigator, even if the navigator is not in combat power now, and Parkinson's, it doesn't matter, he wants the experience of a navigator anyway!
Jack also just wanted to do another vote to retire, and Crocodile, who has potential and strength, is naturally his first choice. Following such a captain, at least safety is guaranteed!
Although, in addition to being a navigator when he was young, he was also a well-known gunslinger, but now that he is old and has Parkinson's, he can't even hold the gun steadily, and his combat effectiveness is almost non-existent. For him now, whether the captain is strong or not is more important to ensure his safety!
Crocodile looked at Jack and followed the direction of his fingers.
Well. A two-hundred-meter yacht!
Compared with this ship, Crocodile's current 20-meter-long battleship snatched from other pirates is like a grandfather and grandson!
But it's nothing. He saw this before entering the port, and he was not surprised by this behemoth. After all, there are many strange ships in this world. Although 200 meters is large, it is not the largest. !
After that, he saw mermaids and murlocs by the railing of the ship!
He doesn't care about murlocs. He has seen them before. Except that they are stronger than normal people and have better fighting power in the water, there is nothing special!
But the mermaid
Suddenly, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes!
He knew that a mermaid, as long as it was beautiful, was worth at least hundreds of millions of Baileys!
However, in an instant, he suppressed his greed.
Although, he Crocodile is a pirate and a cruel pirate, but he also has principles!
He couldn't do something like this slave trade.
at this time.
Another person appeared on the railing, a young man in golden armor with his eyes closed!
Shocked!
Crocodile looked at Shaka, and the whole person was stunned, cold sweat began to leave on his face, and his eyes revealed extreme panic!
That kind of armor, he is very familiar with it!
After that time, he deliberately inquired about relevant news!
So, now he knows the identity of the other party almost instantly!
"Boss, do you want to vote for him? The mermaid is at least hundreds of millions! Especially the mermaid with light blue long hair, so beautiful, it should be worth more than other mermaids, and this ship looks very expensive, With this boat, it's good whether it's for sale or for own use! This time I'm going to do it, at least I can earn two billion!" Jack looked at Crocodile who was suddenly stunned and couldn't help asking.
As soon as Jack's words came out, Crocodile knew that something was wrong!
Because the boy on the railing is gone!
next moment!
"boom!"
Jack flew upside down and hit the mast.
"boom!"
"Crack!"
With a loud crash, the mast collapsed.
"Boom!"
The mast hit the boat with a loud bang.
At the same time, Jack, who hit the mast, also bounced out of the mast and fell on the ground. A fist-sized blood hole appeared in his stomach. The blood hole continued to bleed, but he didn't scream or howl. It just went silent!
I saw that Shaka did not know when, appeared in front of them, and there was a little blood dripping on his right hand!
"Crocodahl?" Shaga asked indifferently, looking at Crocodile.
"Gulong!"
Crocodile couldn't help swallowing, sweating coldly!
Although Shaga didn't open his eyes, the overwhelming aura directly pressed Crocodile to the point where he couldn't breathe.
How to do?
Crocodile now has no vision for anything else!
If the current problem is not solved, he will be planted in this port again!
It was even worse than last time. Last time, at least I got off the boat and stepped on the land, this time I didn't even get off the boat!
Just a moment!
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Crocodile's mind, and many solutions appeared in his mind, but they were eventually rejected by him one by one!
the reason is simple!
His current strength does not support his method at all!
In the end, he only had the last way left, passively accepting the fate given by others!
As for resistance?
That is death!
Although his strength is stronger now than a few months ago, he is not much stronger. A few months ago, he was pressed to the ground without even a single move. Now that a few months have passed, he estimates that he will support at most. a bit!
But what's the use of it?
Not dead yet?
On the other hand, looking at Crocodile who was thinking in front of him, Shaka had no interest in spending it with him.
"Snapped!"
Before Crocodile could react, a sea stone handcuff was directly stuck on his face.
It feels so familiar!
This was Crocodile's first thought!
I seem to be planted again?
This is Crocodile's second thought!
Still in the same place!
Well. Even worse, the boat didn't even get off!
His third and fourth thoughts followed.
After that, he didn't have time to think about it, his body softened and he lost all his strength!
Fortunately, this is not the first time for him, so he can still maintain basic mobility in Hailoushi, and he did not lie down!
