Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 124 The True Colors Are Revealed (Third Update)

2:30 a.m.

The capital city of Arubana.

Inside the palace, Crocodile and Robin stealthily infiltrated.

In the king's bedroom, a hand of sand grabbed Cobra, who had just woken up in bed, and lifted him into the air.

"Crocodile, what are you doing here? What do you want?"

Unable to move, Cobra quickly calmed down after a few seconds of shock, his deep gaze fixed on the uninvited guest who had arrived in the middle of the night.

He didn't question the other person about why they had broken into the palace in the middle of the night. Instead, he asked them in a calm tone, as if he didn't know that the man in front of him was the one who had caused the country's three-year drought.

It seemed he hadn't yet given the king's army the order to attack Rainland tomorrow and defeat this man.

"Heh, don't you know why I'm here?"

Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, gave a forced smile.

Behind him, Robin leaned against the wall, his expression indifferent and silent.

Cobra remained unfazed, glancing at Robin before feigning ignorance and saying, "What do you mean? How am I supposed to know why you're here? And could you please put me down first, so we can talk things over?"

Crocodile sneered.

"My King, now that things have come to this, there's no need for us to hide anything. You already know what I've done for this country, and I'm also aware of the orders you've given to your army."

Upon hearing this, Kobra's expression finally changed.

How did this guy know!

He had sternly instructed his soldiers not to reveal the news of the attack on Yudi the next day, and he trusted that they would keep the secret.

But now, why did Crocodile find out so quickly?

Could it be that there are... in his army?

As if reading his thoughts from his expression, Crocodile smiled sinisterly: "You don't think I'm completely unaware of your actions, do you? Whether it's the rebel army or the royal army, I've planted many spies within them, reporting to me at any time."

"All your actions are under my watchful eye."

Kobra's expression turned serious.

He gave Crocodile a deep look, then exhaled a breath of stale air.

"So that's how it is. You've infiltrated my country to this extent. I've been so incredibly naive all these years."

He remembered some things and felt very guilty.

He finally understood why, in some of his past operations, conflicts with the rebels could have been avoided, yet bloodshed still occurred.

It must have been the work of a spy planted by Crocodile.

If he had discovered these spies and Crocodile's true identity sooner, these bloodsheds could have been avoided.

"So you're grabbing me now to coerce the army into not attacking you?"

His mind raced, and a glint flashed in his eyes as he tentatively asked.

Upon hearing this, Crocodile seemed to have heard a joke and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, don't you underestimate me? Your army is nothing in my eyes. If I wanted to, I could annihilate them at any time!"

"Then what do you want to do by grabbing me?" Cobra asked calmly.

"What do you want? Heh, if your daughter hadn't ruined my plans, I wouldn't have exposed myself and come here now."

Crocodile's eyes were gloomy.

"Vivi?!"

Cobra's eyes narrowed, then he seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems that Vivi has found the rebels and told them the truth about the national drought."

He was genuinely happy.

In this way, the country will finally stop being in internal strife.

You know, he used to be heartbroken whenever he saw citizens die because of the country's internal strife, but at that time he was powerless to change anything.

Vivi, you did a great job this time.

He seemed to see his strong and sensible daughter before his eyes, and he felt incredibly proud to have such a daughter.

However, another question soon arose in his mind, causing him to frown and ask, "If that's the case, Crocodile, you should understand that you can no longer take over this country, so why are you here?"

In Vivi's letter, he learned that Crocodile's purpose in creating the drought and instigating the civil war was to seize the country.

Now that Crocodile's wolfish ambitions have been fully exposed, it is impossible for him to continue to carry out his plan. So why come here to capture him?

"Guhahaha!"

Crocodile laughed loudly, then said in a sinister tone, "Did you really think I've been operating here for so long just to seize this country?"

"What?!" Cobra's pupils shrank, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"I don't care about this country at all. There's only one thing I've always cared about, and that's the ancient weapon hidden within this country—Pluto!"

Now, Crocodile has finally revealed his true purpose, which he has kept hidden for many years.

In an instant, Cobra's heart was filled with turmoil, but he hid it well on his face, pretending to be confused and saying, "Pluto?"

I've never heard of such a thing in my country.

"Hahaha, you don't need to deny it so quickly. The fact that I've set my sights on this country means that I already have accurate information."

Crocodile manipulated the Sand Hand and threw Cobra to the ground.

Before Cobra could stand up, Robin used her Devil Fruit power to grow several arms on his body, immobilizing him.

"I'm not lying. My country doesn't have the ancient weapon Hades that you mentioned."

Cobra ignored the restraints on his body, raised his head, looked at Crocodile with an air of absolute certainty.

And in fact, what he is saying now is the truth; there really is no Hades in his country.

Anyone else might have been fooled by his expression, but Crocodile, who possessed a great deal of information, was not.

"I believe what you're saying is true. However, I know there is one thing that definitely exists: the historical record of Hades' location. You just need to tell me where it is."

Cobra's eye twitched involuntarily, and without thinking, he denied it, saying, "There is no such thing in my country, so I cannot tell you."

Crocodile glanced at Robin, then suddenly tightened his grip on Robin's neck.

"Even if you kill me, I will give the same answer," Cobra said firmly, his breath catching in his throat.

"Oh? What if I prepared a gift for you?"

Crocodile smirked, pulled out a remote control with a red button, and showed it to Cobra.

"If you press this red button, I think the entire city will be reduced to ashes, and all the people you love will die in their sleep without feeling a thing."

"So, are you satisfied with this gift?"

His smile was like the lowing of a demon from hell, sending a chill down Cobra's spine.

This guy actually planted a bomb in the capital!

"You... are truly despicable and shameless."

Kobra's face was ashen, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you, where exactly is the Poneglyph?"

Crocodile remained unmoved, his icy gaze piercing the other man like needles.

Under his pressure, Cobra finally had no choice but to lower his head, sigh, and say, "I'll take you there from the Burial Temple."
