Luffy looked at Kalu with a grin, "I win!"

He used his strength to lift Kalu up, "As the winner, I will rub your belly hard!"

Luffy pressed the duck to the ground, then spread its wings, revealing its soft little yellow fur.

Luffy sat on Karui's feet, then frantically touched the soft belly and tickled it.

Such a soft little belly, touching and kneading it is so relaxing!

Karu was running out of breath, and was tickled by Luffy, so he made a loud noise and kicked Luffy's butt with his little feet, causing a few feathers to fall.

The ducks and people were rolling on the ground, and Luffy was laughing.

"Gah-"

After playing around for a while, Luffy and Kalu lay on the ground, breathing in the fresh air, their chests rising and falling.

Uta and the others slowly came over with the Running Duck. The Running Duck was smoking a cigar. The Duck Brother, who looked like a big brother of the underworld, raised his wings to Kalu, made a finger gesture, and then staggered with Kalu.

Kalu is Vivi's mount, so it will be the captain of the super fast duck team, although it is a duck with great potential.

But too young.

Duck Brother snorted and expressed his disdain to Kalu.

"Is the pressure less?"

Uta lay on the running duck and looked at Luffy with his head tilted.

The red braid fell down, the girl folded her hands under her chin, and then looked at Luffy with a smile.

pressure?

Weiwei followed Uta and thought.

Is that Crocodile?

Luffy laughed awkwardly, "Uta found out."

"I am your elder sister~"

She handed her hand to Luffy, who held her hand tightly and stood up.

……

"We're back. Who won?" Robin asked casually while lying on the recliner.

"Luffy!" Uta said proudly and as a matter of course.

"If Luffy can't win, Uta will be angry!" Uta said fiercely.

"Utako really hates losing!"

Hearing Uta's sweet voice, Robin smiled and said calmly: "Boss, Crocodile, will arrive on the night of the 1st."

Their joyful and cheerful atmosphere was swept away.

"Yeah, I see. It looks like he can't wait to leave Alabasta." Luffy responded.

……

"Thank you very much, Mr. Crocodile!"

"You are the hero of Alabasta!"

"Long live Crocodile!"

"The Oasis is back again!"

"We were saved by Mr. Crocodile..."

As Crocodile liberated more and more oases, more and more people began to respect him as a hero from the bottom of their hearts.

Soon, it was February 1st.

"Finally, this day has come..."

morning.

While Vivi was being dressed up by her maid, she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Your Highness, are you looking forward to your birthday?" asked the maid.

"Your birthday will take several hours."

"No, not about the birthday."

When Weiwei thought about her birthday, she smiled. Her friends would celebrate her birthday and give her small, thoughtful gifts they had prepared.

She really liked the atmosphere.

But this wait was not for the birthday. Crocodile's action trajectory was very clear. He pulled out almost all the oases in the Kingdom of Alabasta from under the sand.

Although those oases are in ruins, the people have a new beginning.

Even the rebels stopped their actions, and those who had a glimmer of hope stopped fighting and killed each other.

The oasis is gradually recovering, and Crocodile is getting closer to the capital.

Luffy will drive Crocodile out of Alabasta!

Weiwei believed so.

But she thought about what Uta said last time, that Luffy would be under pressure.

Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea themselves are synonymous with power.

Even Luffy would have a hard time facing Crocodile. Although he is very strong, his opponent is much bigger than him and a seasoned warrior.

Weiwei thought so.

I really want to help my brother, or at least face Crocodile with him.

Then Vivi thought of Luffy's model, the model that relies on eating people to become stronger, and also possesses the powerful power to understand people's hearts.

If Luffy enters that mode, the pressure of fighting Crocodile would be much less. It is not a state that can be entered at will.

Weiwei recalled the scene she secretly witnessed.

Why, what is the activation condition of Luffy Nissan... Thinking of that condition, Weiwei's eyes darkened.

There's really no hope for him, he's so perverted!

The maid dressed up Vivi, and Vivi looked at herself in the mirror.

His expression gradually became firm.

Today was the day when Crocodile was going to arrive. Robin looked at everyone strangely; they were still as leisurely as ever.

"Crocodile is coming, and you are still like this. Are you really ready to face him?"

she couldn't help but ask.

"Luffy will take care of things." Nami smiled.

"He will save Alabasta, just like he always does."

"You really trust each other. He's just a 15-year-old boy. No matter how strong he is, he has his limits." Robin was very surprised by their attitude.

"We are partners. It's normal for partners to trust each other." Uta said as a matter of course.

Kuina flicked the blade of Wadō Ichimonji lightly with a cotton swab, "That guy is only the second strongest among us. If he loses, everyone will help him."

The... second strongest?

Robin had beads of sweat on his forehead and had no idea what was going on.

There should be no one stronger than Luffy in this group of people. Luffy is the strongest one, followed by Kuina who is a swordsman.

Robin thought that his judgment would never be wrong.

She was thinking that if she were to face Luffy and his group, only Luffy who could restore his life would be a threat to her. The rest, including Kuina, would be nothing to worry about and could be defeated instantly.

Nami smiled.

……

On the night of January 1st, in a dream.

"Luffy, Crocodile is coming. What are your plans?" Nami asked Luffy nervously.

"The plan... the plan is that everyone will sleep, and then Vivi will lead away the guards of the Dirty Temple. I will take Robin and Crocodile into the underground secret room, show them the text, and then the deal will be completed."

Luffy said simply as he ate.

"Our opponent is that Crocodile, Shichibukai. Is such a simple battle plan really feasible?"

Nami pressed her hands to her head, feeling a little anxious.

"Stupid Nami, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, how could I let you down!"

Luffy put his hand on Nami's head and said soothingly.

"I will take care of everything, everyone can sleep peacefully!"

292.

2023-11-26

Although Nami was very worried, Luffy didn't care.

The plan has been made and sufficient preparations have been made. What remains is the unknown changes in the future.

By that time, my future self will make corresponding changes based on the changes.

Let the future Luffy consider the future. The current Luffy only needs to sleep well.

"Don't worry too much, Luffy is very strong." Kuina comforted her.

"So far, the only man who has defeated me is not allowed to lose to anyone else casually!"

As someone who has never been to school, Kuina has a clear beauty that is not soaked in knowledge.

To her, the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Four Emperors could be summarized in a simple word - very powerful pirates.

Kuina had no idea about their battle record. Her understanding of the outside world was the navy, pirates, and the strongest swordsman: Hawkeye.

It is for this reason that Kuina possesses a very clear beauty that is not tainted by knowledge, while people like Nami, because they go to school, know a lot of things, and know the achievements of adults, become uneasy instead.

Ignorance is fearless, right?

Therefore, Kuina was wary of Crocodile, yet eager to try.

Kuina is very wary of devil fruit users, but she also feels that she has a great advantage because Uta is the most powerful user she has ever seen.

Unreasonable dreaming, unsolvable power at home...

Especially when Uta showed off the note cannon that could bombard an area of ​​200,000 square meters, as well as the powerful note soldiers...

This made Kuina unable to figure out how to fight Uta in her dream.

Unless someone knew about her ability in advance and blocked her ears, or prevented Uta from singing in time.

This is the only way to get close to her, right?

Or maybe he was delaying time in his dreams, causing Uta's endurance to fall behind.

Luffy felt that Kuina's sentence structure sounded familiar and he felt that he had said something similar to Kuina before.

"Don't worry, everything will be resolved tomorrow night!"

Luffy said as he lay on the ground, looking up at the beautiful starry sky in his dream. There were also some musical notes swaying in the air, acting as decorations.

"Have I ever disappointed you guys so far?"

Luffy said confidently, think about it and switch positions.

Crocodile achieved his goal, and I have a card that threatens him.

Both parties achieve their desired goals through cooperation, which is a win-win situation that all smart people would choose.

There is no need for Crocodile to conflict with himself, and there is no need for himself to conflict with Crocodile now. This is an unnecessary option.
