One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 449 Ace VS Crocodile

The Great Passage of the Kingdom of Allah Pakistan:

"Damn it! If he doesn't hand over the whereabouts of the ancient weapon next time, I will pry his mouth open even if I have to give up the title of Shichibukai!"

The Shichibukai Crocodile took a deep breath of his cigarette to calm his inner anger.

He had been lurking in Arab Pakistan for so many years for the ancient weapons, building up his forces and searching secretly. After so many years of searching, his patience had been worn away bit by bit.

After being defeated by Kaido, the only thing that can allow him to regain the dignity of his defeat is the ancient weapons.

Because he knew clearly that it was impossible to defeat a monster like Kaido by his own strength, the gap was too big.

In order to make up for this gap, we can only find super-standard weapons such as ancient weapons.

That's why he was willing to lurk in this desert kingdom for so many years.

"Boss, we found a suspicious person entering Alabama. It was none other than Ace, the new cadre of the Infinite Pirates."

“It’s just that after he entered Allah Pakistan, we lost track of him.”

Mr.1 passed the message to Crocodile through Den Den Mushi.

"What are the executives of the Infinity Pirates doing here? Are they also here to look for ancient weapons?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Crocodile thought of this possibility at the first time.

The Wuji Pirates possess powerful technological capabilities, and their weapons are the most powerful in the world. It is very likely that they have detected the existence of ancient weapons.

However, before Crocodile could make any move, a fire man with his legs turned into flames and flying in the air had already flown in front of him.

"Hey, you must be Crocodile!"

Ace looked down at Crocodile in front of him. In order to confirm his identity, he took out a bounty order and compared it repeatedly.

"Fire Fist Ace, what is your purpose here?"

Crocodile asked this question while trying hard to suppress the urge to bury the person in front of him.

"Well, it's nothing. I just want you to give up the title of Shichibukai. After all, as you know, our Wuji Pirates are planning to make a big move."

"You Shichibukai are under the World Government, so we naturally want to weaken the power of the World Government, so we plan to start with you Shichibukai!"

"As long as you give up the title of Shichibukai in front of me and stop working for the World Government, I can let you go today."

Ace said seriously.

The current Ace has received an excellent education from Rouge. He has been a good boy since childhood, and he is also a polite and good young man when he grows up. Therefore, he is less like a pirate when doing things and prefers to use courtesy before force.

"How dare you, a young boy like you, threaten me!"

After hearing what Ace said, Crocodile was so angry that his limbs turned into sand.

He has been lurking here for more than ten years for the ancient weapons. If he gave up just because of a word from the Wuji Pirates, wouldn't all his efforts over the years be in vain?

No one can stop his plan, not even the Wuji Pirates!
What's more, this young boy who is less than 20 years old actually dared to threaten him in person! !

"Desert sword!"

Crocodile slashed with his right hand, and suddenly the forty-meter-long desert sword slashed directly towards Ace.

"Oh, I didn't expect that we would have to fight in the end!"

Ace sighed. Why can't we just have a peaceful negotiation? Why do we have to fight and kill?
The moment the Desert Sword fell, Ace's feet sprayed out even more intense flames, and he easily dodged Crocodile's attack. "Fire Fist!"

While dodging the attack, Ace's right hand turned into flames. Suddenly, endless flames spurted out and turned into a huge fist with a diameter of one hundred meters that smashed forward.

"Boom!!!"

Wherever the fire fist passed, all the deserts were burned to ashes by the flames and turned into dust that fell into the air.

Faced with the flames of such terrifying temperature, Crocodile did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately rushed out of the range of the flames at the fastest speed.

"Desert Sunflower!"

After seeing Ace's terrifying flames, Crocodile no longer dared to show any contempt and immediately turned himself into sand and merged into the desert.

Then, under Crocodile's control, all the sand within a radius of one kilometer was mobilized, and the endless sand rotated and flowed, turning into a desert sunflower.

Sunflowers suddenly gushed out from the desert land, turning into a desert cage that kept approaching Ace, trying to bury Ace alive in the air!

After Ace used his Observation Haki to lock onto Crocodile's position in the desert, facing the desert that would bury him, he did not fly away. Instead, he turned into fire and fell directly into the underground desert.

"Earth Fire Lotus!"

Flames gushed out from the ground, transforming into a flame of refinement, and the entire desert turned into molten lava in an instant.

"Do not!!!"

Crocodile, who was hiding underground, thought he was extremely safe, but he did not expect to be engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye. The extremely high temperature flames surrounded him, and no amount of sand could put out the flames!

The original desert sunflower was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and Crocodile was forced to crawl out from underground.

But now his whole body was burned and he could hardly move.

"With this kind of strength, you dare to resist the Wuji Pirates. I really don't know what gave you such courage!"

Ace looked at Crocodile who was burned like a dead dog and sneered.

He had originally wanted to give Crocodile a chance, but now it seems that there is no need to give him a chance, it would be better to just capture him back directly.

"how so."

At this moment, Crocodile's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he could not move or use his strength. He felt indignant and couldn't understand why he was defeated so easily.

He was defeated by a young rookie. Even if he was a cadre of the Wuji Pirates, he shouldn't have been defeated so easily!

Why on earth is this happening? Why on earth is this happening?

"Crack!!!"

Ace didn't care about Crocodile's reluctance at the moment. He came to the desert not far away, skillfully picked up the bag he had thrown there, put on gloves, and then took out a pair of seastone handcuffs and put them on Crocodile.

Then his feet turned into jets of flame, dragging Crocodile into the sky and disappearing into the desert.

"Boss, the boss was defeated so easily and was captured!"

"How is this possible, how is this possible!"

"What do we do now?"

In the distance, Crocodile's men watched Crocodile being taken away through a telescope and fell into deep self-doubt. He felt like he might be dreaming, that his boss, who was as powerful as a god, was defeated so easily!
