Chapter 286 Old Sha Falls Down, Ning Yuan Eats His Fill

Although Crocodile spent most of his time in the city, he did not actually live there.

He lived in the desert, and his dwelling was underground, connected to the city by an underground passage.

This place is riddled with traps and mechanisms, including a prison made of sea stone and other traps. With a single command, the river will rush in and flood the entire underground complex.

Despite the underground passage connecting to the city, he always travels from the desert to the city to make it seem like he's working tirelessly and is covered in dust, just for show.

The people would also think: "Wow, Crocodile is clearly far away, but after hearing that there are pirates here, he still went through all the trouble to come here. Lord Crocodile is really too hardworking!"

To be honest, after learning about Crocodile's specific techniques, Ning Yuan felt that this guy was born in the wrong world.

He should go to the world of The Boys and join the Vought Seven.

As Crocodile's longtime partner, Robin knew all about Crocodile's habits and routes, no matter how well he concealed them.

So when Crocodile was rushing through the wind and sand towards the rainy land, he encountered a young cowboy in tattered clothes who was singing while holding a gourd.

That's right, there are cowboys in the One Piece world too, Beckman is one.

However, this world isn't called Cowboys, but their styles of doing things are pretty much the same.

Crocodile, upon seeing the boy, showed no sign of nervousness. Instead, he composed himself, knowing that the boy was a true hero's most devoted fan, for once they became obsessed with someone, they would be utterly loyal.

He would also introduce his idols to all his peers.

Gaining one young fan is equivalent to gaining a whole group!

Of course, he wouldn't initiate a conversation with the boy, since he was "busy fighting pirates in the Rain Land!"

But as was his usual practice, the boy would have stopped him.

"oi!" Sure enough, the boy spoke.

However, this tone is a bit strange; it doesn't sound like the tone one would expect from an admirer.

"What is it?" He stopped.

The boy is impolite; he cannot be without it.

Moreover, if these rebellious teenagers can be converted into fans, the benefits are even greater than for ordinary teenagers!

"Are you Crocodile?" the boy asked.

"It's me!" Crocodile was already preparing to smile.

But the boy continued, "Crocodile, you've committed a crime. Princess Vivi has given the order: whoever kills you will be her husband!"

After saying that, the boy pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Crocodile: "As soon as I heard that pirates had appeared in the Rainlands, I knew you would come, so I waited here on purpose, and sure enough, I found you!"

"I've committed a crime?" Crocodile was taken aback, completely ignoring the pistol in the boy's hand.

He has indeed been acting somewhat hastily these past few days because someone has exposed Jinbe's plot to seize the country in the newspapers, and he is afraid that others will also associate it with him.

However, some things cannot be rushed. His plan to usurp the throne needs to be coordinated with the rebel army's actions. Right now, the rebel army is still far from the capital. At most, he has only sent some food and water to the rebel army and urged them to march as soon as possible. This has exposed his plan.

It seems that this princess who lives in seclusion in the deep palace is not entirely useless after all!

However, while they possessed keen insight, they lacked strategic acumen.

Whoever can kill me will become my son-in-law?

it is ridiculous!

There are people in this world who could kill me, but which of them would even look at a princess of a nation?

"Young man, you have a good eye, I admire you!" Crocodile extended his hand, inviting, "Come work for me. A mere prince consort is not out of the question! If you like princesses, I'll capture a few for you, maybe even dozens!"

He realized that he was getting on in years and really needed a disciple or successor.

The boy looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although I didn't know how strong he was, judging from the fact that he dared to point a gun at me, his will and courage were definitely not bad.

With willpower and courage, strength is all you need – just get a Devil Fruit.

"Dozens of princesses!" The boy was speechless. This was probably not an exaggeration, since there were indeed many princesses in this world.

But he shook his head: "Sorry, but I only like Vivi!"

"A man who is loyal to only one woman has no future!" Crocodile scoffed. "But I can understand you. At your age, it's easy to fall deeply in love when you meet someone worth protecting. But that's only because you haven't met many. Once you follow me, I'll arrange a hundred or so women for you, and then you'll see how naive your thinking is!"

The boy shook his head, loaded the bullet, and released the safety.

"Alright, it seems you won't submit unless I show you my strength!" Crocodile spread his hands: "Shoot!"

The boy was about to pull the trigger when Crocodile continued, "You can pull the trigger, but once you do, your ranking in my eyes will drop significantly!"

"Bang!"

Old Sha collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

How is that possible?

Am I not a user of the Sand-Sand Fruit? How could I have been shot dead?

"What a pity!" Ning Yuan shook his head.

Old Sha is still capable, especially in intelligence.

But his ambition was too great, making him too difficult to subdue, and it would also require revealing one's own strength.

Then the only option is for him to die.

After collecting Old Sand's body, the Sand-Sand Fruit was soon in hand!

"Tsk tsk!" Ning Yuan's lips curled up slightly. To be honest, the gift package left by Old Sha was much bigger than the Golden Lion!

Golden Lion only has one Float-Float Fruit and two famous swords.

But what about Lao Sha?

A Logia-type Devil Fruit, an entire Baroque Works company, Nico Robin, and the Alabasta Kingdom.

Look how perfect the structure of Baroque Works is! And the most perfect thing is that none of the members except Robin know who the boss is!

Naturally, they didn't know that their boss had been killed, so Ning Yuan could seamlessly take over as the new president!

What's this called? Old Sha falls down, Ning Yuan gets his fill!

Take out your Den Den Mushi and dial!

The moment the call was made, the Den Den Mushi transformed into Vivi's image.

It's clear that she was always guarding the Den Den Mushi.

Her face looked somewhat haggard, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and trepidation: "Feed?"

"Success!" Ning Yuan said with a faint smile.

Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and then tears streamed down her face.

It actually worked!

The mountain that weighed on my body has been toppled!

The Kingdom of Alabasta is finally saved!

Robin, sitting next to her, was also filled with disbelief. They actually succeeded?

It turns out that the powerful figures I looked up to were actually so vulnerable.

For some inexplicable reason, Robin felt her worldview being reshaped, and even thought that Logia-type Devil Fruits weren't all that great after all.

If Crocodile is so easy to kill, then what about that guy?

She quickly shook her head. She couldn't bear to think about it. The difference between Crocodile and that person was the same as the difference between her and Crocodile. Crocodile could be killed with a single shot, but that person might not!

No, absolutely impossible!

Despite her desperate attempts to convince herself, Robin's heart was eventually opened a crack.

After all, what if?

After calming himself down, Robin quickly gathered the Baroque Works team and began distributing flyers.

A flyer, but it contains two parts.

The first half exposes Crocodile's crimes of using dancing powder and his plot to usurp the throne.

The second half is the princess's decree: whoever can kill Crocodile will marry her!

On the other side, Ning Yuan tied Lao Sha's body with a rope and began to move step by step towards the rain.

The route Lao Sha chose was indeed very good; it was neither too far nor too close to the rainy area, and there were just the right number of pedestrians on the road.

At first, the kind-hearted Alabasta people saw a little child struggling to walk and pulling someone along in the desert and were eager to help.

Ning Yuan naturally refused.

However, this did not stop them from taking a closer look, and then they discovered that the boy was actually pulling on Crocodile, the hero of Alabasta.

"What's wrong with Crocodile?" someone asked in surprise.

"He's dead!" Ning Yuan said with a faint smile.

"How could this be!" the man exclaimed in shock. "You killed him? Are you a pirate?"

"I'm not!" Ning Yuan shook his head, then pulled a flyer from his pocket and handed it to her: "Take a look at this and you'll understand!"

The man took the flyer and glanced at it, his expression immediately changing: "So the drought in Alabasta was caused by Crocodile? He even wants to seize the country?"

Further down the page, the princess actually issued an order: whoever can kill Crocodile will marry her.

and many more!

He suddenly discovered a blind spot.

Isn't the person who killed Crocodile right beside me?

So the young man in front of me is actually the future prince consort, or even the king?

His expression immediately became much more respectful, and he asked, "Your Highness, do you need any help?"

"No need!" Ning Yuan shook his head. "I'll drag him back myself!"

"The road ahead is still long, but I have a car!" he said. "Don't worry, I won't steal your credit!"

He didn't dare to snatch it. He knew Crocodile's strength. How powerful must this boy be to kill Crocodile?

"Alright!" After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yuan nodded and then placed Crocodile's body in the man's car.

Then, this person became extremely excited and started shouting to everyone he met, "Crocodile is dead! His body is in my car!"

Once everyone was greeted, he took out leaflets to explain Crocodile's crimes and introduced the person who killed Crocodile—a young prodigy, a genius of unparalleled talent, Ning Yuan!

He kept showering Ning Yuan with compliments, leaving him completely bewildered.

Because the matter was so explosive, and because they might later witness the princess admitting she was going to marry the boy, the Alabastas who were summoned simply followed the car, ready to watch the drama unfold, unless they had something particularly important to do.

As a result, more and more people gathered behind him, and by the time they reached the outside of the rainy area, three or four hundred people had already gathered behind Ning Yuan!

At the entrance of the rain-soaked area, thousands upon thousands of citizens were already waiting.

Someone had called ahead to inform the city residents.

The Rain People had just received a flyer saying that Crocodile was a sinner, and then they heard that he had been killed!

Just kidding?

How could it be so fast!

They initially thought it was a joke, but when they heard that the princess was also rushing towards the city gate with her entourage, they immediately realized that the leaflet was real and Crocodile had indeed been killed by a boy!

What does this mean?

This means that while the plot to usurp the throne has been foiled, our Alabasta princess is getting married!

"Make way, make way, the princess has arrived!"

"Make way for the princess!"

A group of people surrounded Weiwei as they arrived at the city gate.

Vivi is dressed extremely beautifully now. Robin used the resources of Baroque Works to send her a luxurious dress and hired the most professional styling team to do Vivi's hair and makeup.

Now, Vivi is a true princess, radiant and dazzling!

She was the center of attention simply by standing there!

Then, people watched as she walked step by step to the boy.

She wanted to see Crocodile first, but was stopped by the guards.

After the two guards pretended to examine him for a long time, they nodded heavily and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, this person is indeed Crocodile!"

"So, he's really dead?" Vivi asked loudly.

"Yes!" the guards replied in trembling voices.

They were trembling with nervousness because these two people had been working as security guards at the casino just half an hour ago, and now they were acting as the princess's bodyguards.

Vivi is a genuine princess, so she naturally wouldn't show any timidity in this environment.

She first asked the two guards to stand up, then Vivi turned around and stood in front of Ning Yuan: "Did you kill Crocodile?"

"It's me!" Ning Yuan nodded.

"I have a question that everyone's been curious about!" Vivi asked, "Why did you kill Crocodile after I'd only just handed out my flyers?"

"Because I work at a printing factory, I saw the flyers beforehand!" Ning Yuan asked nervously, "You won't blame me for leaving early, will you?"

"Of course not!" Vivi lifted her skirt, walked to the car next to her, and then held out her hand: "Get in!"

The boy trembled, just like a naive young man just starting out in his career, timid and nervous, and then cautiously reached out his hand.

"Even though you saw the flyer beforehand, my promise still stands!" Vivi announced loudly, "Tell everyone your name!"

"Ning Yuan!" The boy exclaimed excitedly, his face flushed. "My name is Ning Yuan!"

"Excellent!" Vivi gazed fervently at the young man before her. "From this day forward, Ning Yuan, you are my husband, the prince consort of the Alabasta Kingdom!"

After saying that, Weiwei finally couldn't hold back and threw herself into the boy's arms!

"Ah!" The citizens who had gathered in a circle immediately erupted in excitement.

Vivi already enjoyed a very high reputation among the people. She was like everyone's daughter. Now that their daughter was married, even though her husband was just a printing factory worker, no one would look down on the princess because of this. On the contrary, they would praise her even more!

Because everyone saw a princess who kept her promises and did what she said she would do!

Moreover, who is Ning Yuan?

He was a printing factory worker, an ordinary Alabasta!

What does it mean that he was able to marry a princess?

This means that even the most ordinary Alabasta citizen can marry a princess and become her consort, as long as he makes a contribution to the country!

It's a real shame that our country seems to only have one princess.

But it doesn't matter. Once Ningyuan and the princess get married, they should be able to have many little princesses. I have no hope for them, but I have hope for my own children and grandchildren!

and!

Suddenly everyone realized that although this young man was just an ordinary worker, he was surprisingly handsome!

The handsome prince and the beautiful princess are such a perfect match!

Their child must be a very beautiful little princess or prince!

Yes, when I get back, my wife and I will work hard to ensure that our son and daughter are of the same generation as our little prince and princess.
