One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Seeing Crocodile cough up two mouthfuls of blood, yet still laughing loudly...

By this time, Crimson knew that the schemer was prepared to face anything.

Swah——

With a thought, a longsword radiating a mysterious glow suddenly appeared in his crimson palm.

He pointed the sharp tip of his sword at Crocodile's heart, a look of regret still on his face.

While the Sand-Sand Fruit's abilities might not be as powerful as other Logia-type fruits in combat...

However, in terms of architecture, especially in this desert country, it has a unique advantage!

Red had originally thought that if he could subdue Crocodile, he could start a large-scale construction project in his future territory.

"What a pity!"

Red sighed, looking at Crocodile who could laugh even in the face of death, and spoke again:

"Before you die, I'll grant you one more wish!"

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down and whispered in Crocodile's ear:

"Your goal is Hades, one of the legendary ancient weapons, right?"

"I regret to inform you..."

"You've chosen the wrong direction to strive for!"

"Because Hades was never on this island from the very beginning!!!"

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's laughter abruptly stopped, and his gaze returned to the crimson figure.

But Chi Hong, determined to see things through to the end, continued:

"What the Kingdom of Alabasta has always protected is merely the Poneglyphs of Hades' location!"

"And the true King of the Underworld is currently hiding quietly beneath Wano Country!"

"However, that area has now been occupied by the Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors~"

"With your abilities, you probably don't have much of a chance!"

The crimson words pierced Crocodile's heart more sharply and swiftly than the telekinetic sword in his hand.

His expression instantly turned extremely ugly, his eyes filled with shock and confusion as he looked at Crimson.

"How...how do you know all this?!" he hurriedly asked Crimson.

But all I got in return was a soft, crimson laugh:

"Sorry, it's a secret!"

"besides……"

"It's time for you to get going!!!"

Pfft!!!

"Ah~!..."

Under Crocodile's unwilling gaze, Crimson suddenly plunged the psychic sword in her hand!

In an instant, a beam of blood-red light shot out, splashing onto the psychic shield that the crimson figure had already prepared, without staining his body with a trace of impurity.

Thus, the once-powerful warlord Shah Crocodile met his demise in the desert he was most proud of.

As Crimson dissipated his spiritual power, a large amount of blood immediately flowed out from the sword wound on his chest.

Looking at Crocodile's corpse, Crimson shook her head slightly and said:

"In a way, it fulfilled his lifelong dream, letting him know the true whereabouts of Hades..."

"I guess I did something good before he died."

"........."

Standing beside Crimson, Robin, who had overheard the entire conversation between him and Crocodile, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

First mate, are you sure you're fulfilling a dream, and not trying to destroy someone's spirit?!

Why do I see Crocodile, who had clearly let go of the past, leaving this world filled with resentment after just a few words from you?

For some reason, even though Robin was clearly a cunning and ruthless queen at this moment, a hint of fear unconsciously surfaced deep in her eyes when she looked at Crimson.

"Robin, what are you thinking about!?"

Just then, the crimson voice abruptly interrupted her thoughts, causing her to involuntarily shiver.

Crimson gave her a friendly smile, like a companion would, and teased her:

"What are you thinking about!?"

"Call Mr. 1 and the others over and bring Crocodile's body."

"Let's go back to Yudi first and find a place to rest before we talk about anything else!"

Chapter 156: The Consecutive Triggers of the Pickup Feature (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

died!

When Vivi learned of this news from the Den Den Mushi, even though she already knew how powerful the Straw Hat crew was and had already witnessed the superb and magical abilities of Red...

But when the disaster that had plagued the Kingdom of Alabasta for years died in such an inexplicable way, Vivi's consciousness suddenly wavered for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, she gazed into the distance at the Merry.

At this moment, they were anchored in the central area of ​​the Santora River, the mother river that runs through the entire kingdom of Alabasta.

This location is practically in the very center of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Whether you want to go to Rainlands, the Holy City, or any other city, the distance is roughly the same.

This is also the territory that Crimson intends to demand from the King of Alabasta.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this location sounds very important.

But throughout the hundreds and thousands of years of history of the Kingdom of Alabasta, they had never had any plans to cultivate or develop this important region.

This is something that Crimson, the transmigrator, finds difficult to understand.

He couldn't understand it, since there were so many wilderness and uninhabited areas along the Santoro River that were rich in water and resources...

Why are these guys so keen on digging for underground water sources in the hot and dangerous desert to build cities?

"No, I must report this to my father immediately..."

"And then there's the problem of the rebels..."

Vivi looked up at Ace and Luffy, who were locked in fierce combat on the horizon.

Endless flames filled the entire sky, making the already scorching Alabasta Kingdom even hotter.

Just then, a pitch-black figure suddenly flew out from the blazing flames.

Luffy grinned widely, laughing as he swung his massive arm behind him, aiming it at the flames in front of him.

"Rubber...Giant Pistol!!!"

boom!!!

The giant's jet-black fist slammed into the scorching flames, instantly smashing a shirtless man out of the fire.

"What on earth did this kid eat during the three years I was away?!"

Ace, struck by Armament Haki, stood with his hands in front of him, an expression of disbelief on his face.

The next second, his body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into a desolate mountain rock.

"As expected, the gap is still huge!"

Zoro, who had also awakened Conqueror's Haki, and Sanji, who was already able to draw upon his inner potential, watched the duel before them with deep emotion.

There are just too many powerful beings on the Grand Line!

Blackbeard from a while ago, and Ace right in front of them...

There's also Crocodile, whom Red took Robin to deal with alone; I heard he's also a strong fighter, second only to them in strength.

"Not strong enough~"

Zoro and Ace's eyes flashed, and they began to look forward to their upcoming battle.

Influenced by the crimson, they have now learned to seize every opportunity and not let go of any possibility to make themselves stronger.

After all, compared to the original timeline, they are now very clear about how weak their strength is.

They also understood just how powerful their enemies were!

If we want Luffy to become the Pirate King and for them to achieve their respective dreams, their current strength is far from enough!

While Zoro and Sanji were waiting for Luffy and Ace to finish their sparring match...

The rest of the Straw Hat crew were also busy.

"Usopp, are you sure these bugs can withstand such a terrible temperature change!?"

"These are all super-strong rhinoceros beetles that you have carefully cultivated!"

Not far from the battlefield, inside a makeshift research institute.

Wearing a white lab coat and black-rimmed glasses, Chopper stared at the rhinoceros beetles that had survived the scorching flames of the battlefield, a look of pity on his face.

Meanwhile, Usopp, who wore a single-lens glasses, reached out and patted Chopper on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Don't worry, Chopper!"

"Under my nurturing, these insects contain a large amount of grass-attribute energy in their bodies, making them extremely resilient!"

"Moreover, it's better to let problems surface as early as possible than to discover them on the battlefield!"

"All right!"

At Usopp's insistence, Chopper nodded immediately. Looking at the swarm of insects in front of him, their bodies glowing red from the flames, he suddenly took a deep breath and shouted:
