Luffy complained, then put Chopper and Nami down and said, "Let's go. Since we have a bounty on our heads, let's go back to the ship first~~~~"

Luffy was originally planning to see more of the local customs and people with Nami, but it ended up like this. I'm really disappointed...

[“Ahem…”]

Crocodile pulled his head out of the ground and spat out two mouthfuls of blood. "Bu... Armament Haki... Haki... Boy, you're from the New World...???"

Crocodile slowly sat up, took out a handkerchief from his shirt pocket, and elegantly wiped away the blood hanging from the corner of his mouth~~~~]

[Luffy's fighting ability is beyond his expectation! ! ! ]

[Of course, the fact that Crocodile was hit so hard by Luffy's attack was also due to his underestimation of his opponent...]

[But..., no matter what, Crocodile doesn't want to continue fighting with Luffy at this time~~]

[Because, he wants to win over Luffy! ]

[On the one hand, it’s because Luffy’s fighting ability is strong! ]

【On the other hand, the main reason is because Luffy is young! 】

[Young age means inexperience, making it easier to brainwash and control...]

"New World? You mean the second half of the Grand Line?"

Luffy turned to look at Crocodile and shook his head. "No, I'm from the East Sea!!!"

【East China Sea...】

[Great job, Donghae! ! ! ]

[Those in the East China Sea must have seen even less of the world, making them easier to brainwash and control~]

"Kid, I'm curious about something!!! I was about to kill you just now, why did you knock me to the ground and leave? Don't you want to kill me? I'm Crocodile. If you kill me, your fame in the pirate world will instantly skyrocket!!!"

Crocodile certainly didn't think the other party had the ability to kill him, but he just wanted to ask~~

Luffy frowned, looking confused and said, "No way..., wouldn't it be easy to kill someone as powerful as you? Why is he so famous???"

【puff!!--】

[Crocodile felt his throat stagnate! ]

Good boy...

[Is this how your mother taught you to chat with people...? ? ?]

Crocodile felt a surge of rage in his heart! ! !

[But the next moment..., he forcibly suppressed this anger~~]

[Forget it...]

[I still want to win him over, so I can't test my limits in front of him...]

At this point, Luffy continued, "But... although your abilities are ordinary, you're able to uphold your duties as a Shichibukai and bring happiness and peace to the people of this city. That's truly worthy of respect!!!"

【“…”】

【Krokdahl’s face suddenly turned dark! ! ! !】

Good guy~~~

[This guy really thinks I'm a pushover...]

[However, considering what he wanted to do, Crocodile continued to endure it...]

【Also, Luffy just mentioned that "Because he protects the civilians of this city, he deserves Luffy's respect." When these words came out, Crocodile was overjoyed!!!】

【good!!!】

[He is indeed one of those blind young men with nothing but passion~~~]

[People like this can definitely be controlled with the right methods! ! ! ]

“Hahahaha!!! Yeah… I used to be a pirate, but when I realized that with great power comes great responsibility, I felt like I should do something for these innocent people~~”

“It wasn’t until the World Government recruited me to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that I finally found the right direction!!”

"Now, what I hate most is seeing those brutal pirates killing civilians!!!"

Crocodile seemed to be elevating his charisma. He then looked at Luffy and extended his hand. "Luffy, you are so powerful. You can definitely do something meaningful like me! Come on, become my partner, and together we will shine for this country...!!!"

Rox D. Gibeck: "Ugh!!!"

Shiqi: "Hahahahaha!!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Damn it!! This guy is such a freaking talent!!!"

Don Quixote Doflamingo: "If this is someone's first time knowing Crocodile, they will definitely be conquered by Crocodile's charisma, fufufufufu...!!!"

Sakaski: "I've said it before, pirates are totally unreliable!!!"

Sengoku: "Shut up!!! Don't talk nonsense, this is Crocodile's personal reason!! It has nothing to do with anyone else......!!!"

Seeing what Sakaski said, Zhan Guo was shocked!!!

I cursed Sakaski in my heart for being such an idiot...

Although we are currently watching a movie, the confrontation at the top of the war is very real!!!

If at this time, Sakaski's outspokenness caused a rift between the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy~~~

This will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the navy!!!

By then... the Marine Headquarters would not only have to face two of the Four Emperors, Garoze and Kozuki Oden, but also the betrayal of several of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

This war..., what's the point of fighting it!!!

【“~~~”】

Crocodile's words gave Luffy goosebumps.

[He just admires people like Crocodile, but that doesn't mean he wants to be like them...]

[Let him stay in one place to protect the people there???]

【Luffy would never do such a thing!!!】

[Because he knew that if a person remained complacent..., their strength would not only decline, but they would also definitely not improve at all!!!]

[What if a powerful pirate appears one day? Wouldn’t that be the end of him? ? ?]

[Luffy's target is clear, just two...! !]

[One is to circle the Grand Line and see this wonderful world~]

[The other is to continuously enhance your strength in battle, striving to reach the pinnacle of strength in this world as soon as possible!]

"Although you sincerely invite me, I have my own things to do!! I'll only be here for ten days. Once the magnetic field record is full, I'll leave with my friends~~~" Luffy politely declined.

【! ! ! 】

Crocodile suddenly felt unhappy~

[But he's a shrewd man, so he knows that things like this can't be rushed!]

[The other party has already refused. Further pursuit will only backfire...]

Crocodile said, "Well, everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you! But we're destined to be together. If you don't mind, please come to my place and let me show my hospitality."

"Haha!! Thank you so much for your invitation, but I really don't need it... I have my own things to do~"

[It's okay for two people to meet by chance and get to know each other~]

[But Crocodile first invited him to join the gang, and now that his joining was rejected, he invited him to be his guest...]

[Luffy never mind assuming the worst of others~]

[It has always adhered to the concept of "don't have the intention to harm others, but always be on guard against others"! ! ]

Although Luffy is obsessed with food and very strong, this doesn't mean he likes to put himself in unknown situations~

【"All right......"】

Crocodile also knows when to stop.

Since Luffy's refusal was clear, Crocodile shrugged and said, "Then we'll meet again someday."

Although he couldn't help him, Crocodile felt relieved knowing that Luffy and his crew would be leaving in ten days...

[Even though Luffy couldn't be used by him, at least such a strong man wouldn't interfere with his future plans. That's enough! !]

"Bye~~"

[Luffy waved his hand, and left with Nami and Chopper...]

Because of the bounty, they couldn't go shopping in Rapeseed City openly anymore. They had no choice but to return to the Merry and change clothes and disguise themselves before going out tomorrow.

When they were almost at the port, Luffy suddenly grabbed Chopper and Nami and ran into the alley nearby.

A moment later, a girl with aqua blue hair and a single ponytail chased in, but she bumped into Luffy's arms...

【"ah!!"】

[Princess Vivi puts herself on Luffy, bounces back, and falls to the ground...]

"You've been following us for so long~~~, is there something wrong...???"

Luffy asked calmly, looking at Princess Vivi who had fallen to the ground.

When Luffy said goodbye to Crocodile before, he had already sensed the presence of Princess Vivi with his observation Haki.

【"Forehead......"】

Princess Weiwei was at a loss when she realized she had been exposed.

Nami walked up to Princess Vivi, squatted down gently, and pinched Princess Vivi's chin with her small hand. She smiled slightly and said, "Are you here to capture Luffy and me for the bounty?"

Princess Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "That's right! You two murderous pirates must be killed by everyone!"

[“Ahahaha~~~”]

Nami's face was filled with a mixture of laughter and tears. She stroked Princess Vivi's small face and said with a smile, "Little sister, you don't look even older than me. Why do you want to become a bounty hunter like others? Don't you know that we pirates kill without blinking an eye?"

Suddenly remembering something, Nami pointed her thumb at Luffy behind her and said deliberately, "By the way, our boss really likes to rape and kill beautiful girls like you~~~"

【“!!!”】

[Luffy's mouth twitches slightly...]

[However, he knew that Nami was just joking, so he had no choice but to accept the loss~]

[And Nami is still waiting to see Princess Vivi's joke~~]

[Since the other party wants to catch pirates, Nami certainly doesn't want to make things difficult for her, but she must let her know how dangerous this world is! ! ! ]

[Otherwise... a young girl like this could easily end up being raped by the thief instead of catching him~]

[However, Princess Weiwei actually raised her neck and said: "Okay! Then you can kill me!!!"]

【"ah?"】

[This time, it’s Nami’s turn to be confused!!!]

What's going on?

[Are all girls in big cities so brave...?]

[The opponent is so aggressive that Nami can't continue her pranks~]

[But..., she didn't get discouraged!!]

【Isn’t there still Luffy~】

[I don't believe I can't scare you, little girl, today...]

She pulled Princess Vivi up and pushed her directly onto Luffy's body. Then she chuckled, "Boss, enjoy yourself. I'll take care of the body later~~~"

[Princess Vivi is on Luffy, but I'm still very nervous~~]

[She followed Luffy and Nami because she was betting...]

If she loses the bet, she will most likely be doomed.

[But if the bet wins, perhaps the miracle that saves the Kingdom of Alabasta will be here! ! ! ]

[Suddenly, she looked at Luffy, her aquamarine eyes sparkling!!!]
