Chapter 92 Crocodile, full of vigor!

When Knok arrived before Klaus and the marines, they were almost moved to tears.

You promised to be right back, but it's taken you more than a month!

Klaus's face remained expressionless, but the intense gaze fixed on Knox betrayed his emotions. The expressions on the faces of the marines behind him were even more varied, like a living ukiyo-e painting. This past month, they had waited...

It's so tough!

Klaus took a deep breath, his chest heaving several times, as if he were forcibly suppressing certain emotions that were not suitable to be expressed in public. He looked at Knok, whose face, which had maintained a serious and restrained demeanor for more than thirty years, was filled with the message, "I have a lot to say, but I've decided not to because you're my superior."

"Brigadier General, welcome back."

Nock nodded and walked past him casually, as if he had just gone out for lunch rather than leaving someone on the island for over a month.

"What's been going on lately?"

Klaus followed behind him, his hands already open to the densely filled notebook. "Previously, two supernovas arrived at the archipelago almost simultaneously. One of them had a bounty of 130 million, but was intercepted by Commodore Akainu, who happened to be resting here. Akainu sank his ship on the spot, killing all crew members. The other had a bounty of 120 million and was being hunted by Commodore Kizaru."

He paused.

It is said that both men displayed overwhelming strength in this operation, which is highly praised within headquarters.

Nock didn't stop. "So?"

"So—" Klaus turned the page, "if the Brigadier General hopes to keep up with everyone else in his graduation grades, there just happens to be an opportunity on the island right now."

Nock turned his head and glanced at him.

"Three days ago, a rookie pirate with a bounty of 110 million taels landed on the Sabaody Archipelago. His name is Wolfgang, a Zoan-type Bear-Bear Fruit user. He is huge and incredibly strong, and has already sunk three naval warships."

"Then let's take him down."

"Well...

'

Klaus thought about the overwhelming strength that Akainu and Kizaru had displayed a month ago, and then about Nock's assessment that he was even stronger than those two monsters, and nodded seriously.

"good!"

Where is he?

"Current intelligence indicates that he is heading to the auction in Zone 4."

So Nock headed to Area 4 of the Sabaody Archipelago, but when he arrived there at his leisure, what he saw made him raise an eyebrow.

Sabaody Archipelago, Area 4, Illegal Zone.

Unlike the previously numbered areas of Anning, the atmosphere here is significantly more chaotic. Even with Lord's occasional clean-up efforts, this is still the only passage to the New World for the pirates, and there will always be pirates here.

Here, the noise is incessant, the buildings are dilapidated and haphazard, the signs are crooked, and malicious eyes can be vaguely seen deep in the alleyways.

Nock's target, the brown bear ability user, had already been beaten to it.

The ground trembled slightly, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and burnt resin. Bubbles floated up from the cracked tree roots and burst in patches in the shockwave of the explosion.

Nock and his men stopped behind a tall mangrove tree. The street in front of them was unrecognizable, with craters dug into the ground, half of the buildings on the roadside collapsed, and rubble and broken glass scattered everywhere.

Three figures darted and collided among the ruins, each clash accompanied by a dull thud and a cloud of dust.

Nock recognized the two men at a glance.

Cohen, a fellow student in the elite training camp, is a Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit user. He has outstanding speed and jumping ability, long limbs, and moves as nimbly as a real feline. At this moment, he is passing by his enemy at an incredible angle, leaving a deep bloody mark on the opponent's shoulder with his claws, and then using the force to bounce away, landing on a broken pillar more than ten meters away, his back arched and his pupils narrowed to slits.

Hailey, also a classmate, possesses the Paramecia-type Glass Fruit, which allows her to create extremely hard glass as a means of combat.

Leaving aside the enemy, his target was Wolfgang, the bear-bear fruit user with a bounty of 110 million, who was tall, muscular, and covered in thick brown fur.

He was already injured, with a deep, bone-revealing wound on his left arm and several bloody grooves on his right shoulder from Cohen's claws. However, these injuries had limited impact on a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. He continued to fight, and he fought wildly. Every punch was imbued with unstoppable brute force, leaving a crater on the ground and a hole in a building when it hit.

But his brute force is of limited use against agile caracals and mirrors that can reflect one's image.

Cohen and Hailey worked together very well. One used speed to harass and control the opponent, while the other used her abilities to block their movement. They managed to suppress this power-type opponent and put him on the defensive. But Nok could see that although it wasn't easy, their victory was only a matter of time.

However, his gaze swept over the three of them several times, but he did not act immediately; instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Because his Observation Haki caught something interesting.

Another person has arrived.

A little earlier, before the Queen Mother Anthem docked, Crocodile, who landed on the island, was on a relatively inconspicuous pirate ship.

Stepping onto this land formed by mangrove roots, the towering figures immediately attracted many hidden gazes.

"That's Crocodile!"

"A pirate supernova with a bounty of 8100 million Berries?! Is he about to enter the New World too?!"

"I wonder if he still takes on followers."

Crocodile, with a cigar dangling from his mouth, strutted arrogantly, his gait no less impressive than that of Meiji.

He came to the island because he had received information that several interesting "goods" were about to be auctioned in a secret auction house in Area 4, including a rare Devil Fruit.

Despite Crocodile's extreme confidence in his Sand-Sand Fruit ability, and although he had not yet become addicted to the idea of ​​becoming king, he still harbored a great ambition to become the ruler of the seas and take Whitebeard's head!

That old man with the white beard has several thousand men under his command. Nine division commanders and twenty-nine affiliated pirate crews from the New World, his forces total tens of thousands. No matter how strong an individual is, they would be overwhelmed by an attack from tens of thousands.

Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke, his brow furrowing slightly. He had to admit that he needed to find a way to improve his overall strength, not only his own but also the strength of those around him.

Although he didn't trust those people, he could bind them together with mutual benefits; his so-called subordinates were perhaps better described as tools.

The more convenient the tool, the less effort you need to put into doing things.

As he prepares to enter a new world, he needs to strengthen himself and his men in order to gain a foothold there.

A powerful Devil Fruit is undoubtedly the best way to quickly create a high-end combatant.
