On his way to escape, he unexpectedly encountered Crocodile, who was also a former Shichibukai.

Crocodile extended an olive branch to him and Miss Bakin, sincerely inviting him to join his newly founded Cross Guild.

This is an organization he founded together with another former Shichibukai member, Gekko Moriah, to gather strength to deal with threats from the navy.

In addition to Edward Weeble, Crocodile also plans to invite Jinbe and El, two former Shichibukai, to strengthen the guild.

However, when they searched for Jinbe and El in the Sabaody Archipelago, they found nothing.

After some inquiries, they learned that Jinbei had returned to the underwater Fishman Island, and El's whereabouts were unknown. Even Tashigi, who was originally guarding the naval base, had not been seen for a long time.

So they decided to take Moria's terrifying three-masted sailing ship, which had been completely converted into a cargo ship, from the Sabaody Archipelago to Alabasta to look for El's trace.

After returning to Alabasta, which he had not visited for a long time, Crocodile led everyone from Eluma towards the capital of Alupana.

Although he had long given up the idea of conquering this land, when passing by Yoba Oasis, Crocodile couldn't help but want to see with his own eyes this industrial base that had brought about earth-shaking changes to Alabasta.

Shortly after they arrived at Joba Oasis, their whereabouts were discovered by spies from the Kingdom Army.

The shadow of Crocodile's past still looms over this land, making people wary and cautious about their arrival.

Soon, Kosa, who received the news, immediately summoned the senior personnel stationed here to prepare an emergency evacuation plan.

With their current strength, they are simply unable to contend against such a terrifying lineup of three former Seven Warlords of the Sea.

So, everyone acted quickly, with Kosa and Miss Two Fingers responsible for direct negotiations, while Monet and the Sugar sisters took the most important Wapol and Gardino to evacuate and return after ensuring safety.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Crocodile smiled and said to Mr. 1 beside him: "I didn't expect that your partner is now the new partner of the leader of the rebels."

Seeing her former boss, Pola did not speak. Kosha stepped forward to stand in front of her and said solemnly to the other side: "Crocodile, what are you doing here? You are not welcome in Alabasta."

"Don't worry, I have no interest in Alabasta anymore."

After that, Crocodile lit a cigar and continued, "I just want to see what changes have taken place here. After all, Alabasta didn't have this kind of technology before."

"All this is because of Queen Weiwei. It is she who has brought unprecedented prosperity and development to our kingdom."

Chapter 217 The Birth of Medusa

"It seems like Vivi has gained a lot from her journey to join the El Pirates. Should she be in Aruba now? I just happen to have something to ask her."

Crocodile came this time to invite El, so he deliberately remained restrained in his words, and was much more restrained than before.

Just as Kosa was thinking about how to respond to Crocodile's words, a general of the Kingdom Army came from behind.

They had just delivered the news of Crocodile, Gekko Moriah, and Edward Weeble's arrival in Yoba to the capital.

Vivi didn't know why these people came. After thinking for a moment, she immediately contacted Perona, who was observing plants with the dwarfs in the palace courtyard, and planned to open up the situation with Moria.

Upon hearing the news of Moriah's arrival, Perona quickly came to the hall and, according to Vivi's arrangement, contacted the kingdom's army in Yoba and asked them to hand over the Den Den Mushi to Moriah.

"Lord Moria, why did it take you so long to come to see me?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Perona's voice.

Hearing Perona's words, Moriah's face flashed a stiff smile, and he replied: "I have been in the New World all this time. Didn't I come to see you just after returning to Paradise? I know you are doing well in the El Pirates, so I am not in a hurry."

After hearing Moria's explanation, Perona recalled that the last time she heard from him was because he tried to steal Whitebeard's body and was severely beaten, so she forgave him.

However, she still said a little unhappy: "Lord Moria, you are late. I have converted your ship into a warehouse. Besides, how can you be with them?"

Moriah thought of the current state of his ship and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he soon felt relieved.

"Perona, is El with you? We have established a Cross Guild and hope to invite him to join us."

"Cross Guild? Wait a minute, I'll go ask Captain Al."

Perona didn't know the situation of the Cross Guild, but she still took out her cell phone and began to try to contact El who was far away on Nine Snake Island.

At the same time, in the Alabasta Palace, Vivi, Robin, Kerla and Perona were fully prepared. If the other side made any moves, they would rush to Yoba immediately.

After receiving a call from Perona and learning about the situation, El spoke directly to Crocodile and others via the phone.

He asked the other party: "Crocodile, how many members do you have in the Cross Guild now? If I join, what responsibilities do I need to fulfill?"

"There are already three of us. We plan to invite you and Jinbe. If we have five former Shichibukai members, then we won't have to face attacks from the navy like Weeble did. As for duties, I hope that members can help each other when they are in trouble."

Al confirmed that none of the current members had the red-nosed captain's luck, and that the Cross Guild had no plans to offer a bounty to the navy.

After a little thought, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with joining the Cross Guild. After all, such a mutual aid organization would be a great help to him now that his territory has expanded.

"So what are your plans for the future? For example, the location of the base and the source of income? You don't plan to stay in Alabasta, do you?"

"You don't have to worry about all that. We will go to the New World and occupy an island as our base." Crocodile answered confidently.

"If that's the case, then I have a very simple condition. As long as you can accept it, I am willing to join the Cross Guild."

Hearing this, Crocodile frowned slightly and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Since you are going to the New World to find a base, why don't you stay in Dressrosa? I will provide you with the venue and funds. This condition should be considered a kind of mutual assistance among members, right?" El put forward his suggestion.

After hearing this, Crocodile carefully recalled the geographical location of Dressrosa and the previous rumors about El, and felt that there was no conspiracy.

So he nodded and said, "No problem, but the premise is that the venue and funds you provide must satisfy us."

Al assured confidently: "Don't worry, I will do my best to meet your conditions. Of course, please don't make overly demanding requests."

In his opinion, as long as the Cross Guild did not openly spend money to reward the navy, the funds to maintain such an organization would not be too much of a burden for him.

With the three Shichibukai working together, the safety of Dressrosa is sufficiently guaranteed. Neither the navy nor the pirates should deliberately provoke them.

After receiving a clear reply from Al, a storm that almost happened was resolved in time, and the tense atmosphere at the Yoba scene gradually eased.

After the two sides formed an alliance, Vivi also agreed to the request made by Crocodile and asked Kosa to take the disguised Crocodile to visit the electrical factory here to learn about the electrical energy that changed this country.

However, for safety reasons, the most important people such as Wapol and Sucrose are still staying in the safe house to rest.

Their safe house is the overseas hot spring island connected to Yoba's underground passage.

This was dug out by old lady Dorophy and the giant mole.

Kurokas, who had been staying in Gemini Cape, fell in love with the Hot Spring Island after visiting it once.

Here you can find giant turtles that can translate animal languages, as well as hardworking and lovable kung fu manatees.

After coming here several times and learning that Keya had a special affection for this place, he decided to move to the hot spring island and enjoy life here.

In order to provide a high-quality living environment, Weiwei sent people to deliver supplies to them continuously through this underground passage.

His father Cobra would occasionally go to the hot spring island in person to seek treatment and recuperation from Kurokas.

The island not only has a holiday estate exclusively for Kurokas, but also has a hot spring villa for outsiders to use, so that people who come here to relax can enjoy it.

At this time, the sisters Sandu and Monet were soaking in the hot spring comfortably, enjoying their rare leisure time.

Just a few days after Crocodile visited Alabasta, El received another call from Reiju.

"Captain El, my father asked me to convey his gratitude to you. He said he would do his best to help the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates. But he wanted me to ask, who is that single blood?"

Al thought to himself that it seemed that Marco and the others did not clearly tell Judge about the source of the blood.

Perhaps because the blood was fresh, Judge did not associate it with Whitebeard's cross-generational bloodline.

Al then asked, "So what's the situation there now? I know where the blood came from, but it's better not to let your father know now, so as to avoid misunderstandings."

Rebecca nodded after hearing what Al said and stopped asking questions. "They brought that blood with them and wanted to use cloning technology to create an embryo, implant it into the body of a female member traveling with them, and then let the baby be born into this world through natural conception."

After hearing this, although Al was a little curious about who that woman was, he resisted the urge to ask more questions.

After hanging up the phone, El immediately contacted Vivi and asked her about the current situation of the villagers who moved to Alabasta.

Although Marco and the others' next plan is still unknown, Al feels that they will find a quiet place to wait for the child to be born, and the city where the villagers of Whitebeard's hometown live may be a good choice.

Although the exact whereabouts of Marco and his companions are still unknown, Al intuitively feels that they are likely to gather with the villagers again.

After confirming that everything was fine, Al finally felt relieved and continued to stay on Nine Snake Island, accompanying Hancock carefully.

Soon, that day finally arrived, and Al waited outside the bedroom of Nine Snake Castle with great anticipation.

With the help of Bella Donna, the most skilled doctor on the island, and Granny Flameflower, the most experienced, the daughter of El and Hancock was finally born into this world.

At this time, little Medusa was lying quietly in the soft cradle. Her delicate little face had a sweet sleeping expression, and she occasionally smacked her lips gently, as if she was tasting something delicious in her dream.

Al looked at his daughter with joy and gently covered her tender little hands with small gloves to prevent her from accidentally scratching her cheeks.

Then, he took a few photos with his mobile phone and uploaded them to his personal space as a permanent commemoration of this precious moment.

Soon, his friends all saw the photo, and they liked it and sent their blessings.

At the same time, Hancock gradually recovered his strength under Rebecca's healing light.

She looked at the little baby in her arms, her face filled with maternal radiance.

When the baby woke up, he looked at the strange world in front of him and started crying loudly, and then Al was ruthlessly driven out.

Al stood outside the door and looked at little Medusa who was sucking milk, and an unprecedented sense of responsibility surged in his heart.

After little Medusa had drunk her fill, she fell into a sweet sleep again with satisfaction, with a sweet smile on her lips, as if she had dreamed of something wonderful.

After everyone left, El took out the essence of the Yamata no Orochi Devil Fruit extracted by the system.

This drop of essence is crystal clear, like a dazzling gem. It is contained in a transparent container and emits a faint light.

Before this, Al had created a series of verification tasks through the system to ensure that even newborn babies could safely absorb this power.

Then, he followed the systematic method, gently sucked up the drop of essence with a micro-pipette, and carefully delivered it to the slightly opened mouth of the little Medusa.

After a long time, he saw that the baby did not show any rejection reaction, and Al finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Nami and others rushed to Nine Snake Island from all over the place that night.

Including Vivi in Alabasta and Tashigi and others in the Sabaody Archipelago.

It turned out that Rebecca had informed them in advance, and Vivi in Alabasta and Tashigi in the Sabaody Archipelago were also present.

In the days that followed, El asked everyone to stay on Nine Snake Island and began to concentrate on refining the power of the devil fruit in his body.

At the beginning, Hancock was far behind others in progress because he still had to learn basic prerequisite skills.

When she mastered the method of refining the Ultra Instinct state and the power of the Devil Fruit, she began to slowly narrow the gap.

With the dual entanglement of domineering domineering and armed domineering, her refining efficiency far exceeds that of everyone else.

However, the person who made the slowest progress among all the people was Al. Because the three fruits formed a strange cycle in his body, even if he superimposed the Tyrant, his refining efficiency was still unsatisfactory.

Until one day, he suddenly had an idea and used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to directly annihilate the power of the other two fruits.

Then, he used the dual-color domineering power to concentrate on refining the Dark Dark Fruit, which greatly improved the efficiency.

At the same time, little Medusa's growth path is also full of surprises.

At first, she was like other babies, eating and sleeping regularly every day.

But as time went by, little Medusa gradually showed her extraordinary qualities.

Seven snake-like hairs grew on her head, but these snakes inherited Hancock's ability to petrify.

According to the system's speculation, this might be because the newborn baby was also exposed to the demonic power of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit while in Hancock's body.

When she was born, the original power of the devil fruit had not yet completely dissipated, but was absorbed by the essence of the Yamata no Orochi, and after the fusion, she possessed this special ability.

The days of training on Nine Snake Island continued until little Medusa's first birthday.

During this time, except for El, everyone else successfully refined and fused the power of their respective devil fruits, ushering in a transformation in the level of their lives.

The powers granted to them by the Devil Fruits have been weakened and reshaped in different ways.

The most obvious change is that the animal system has lost the ability to transform into beast form.

Fortunately, the super transformation mode and super orc mode can still be used normally.

Superhuman and natural abilities can no longer launch a sweeping attack as easily as before.

However, except for Kaya, who has not seen much change in their abilities for the time being, the abilities of everyone else have improved dramatically.

Nojigo no longer needs to use hand gestures, he can summon a barrier of any size and shape with just a thought.

Kerla's hands returned to their normal appearance, but every part of her body had the ability to bounce off anything.

Perona can briefly transform into an ethereal spirit, freely traveling between reality and fantasy.

Robin's biggest weakness has finally been completely repaired, and the effects on her transformed parts will no longer affect her original body.

Hancock's petrification ability has been upgraded to a whole new level. She can petrify everything within her sight, which is enough to scare anyone.

The transformations of Nami and Reiju are the most astonishing. They seem to have transformed into real elements and possess elemental bodies without any fatal weaknesses.
