I don't want to be a hero.

It is said that the "Pluto" is a powerful battleship, capable of sinking an island with a single shot.

Crocodile wants to fulfill his dream, and Pluto is the first step for him to realize his dream.

Through certain channels, he learned that there was a historical text recording the location of Pluto in "Alabasta", so he deliberately planned to take over this country, and intended to use it as a springboard to conquer the entire ocean.

Originally, the plan was going quite smoothly. The people of Alabasta had begun to be bewitched by him, and the royal family had also begun to be sidelined by him.

But no one expected that a competitor would suddenly emerge at this time.

In order to prevent the information about "Pluto" from leaking out, Crocodile gave up the idea of ​​teasing Yeya and decided to let Yeya die here.

Although he had no intention of letting Ye Ya and Wei Wei leave alive from the beginning.

Nefertari's tomb can only be opened by members of the royal family.

Now the only heir to Alabasta, Princess Vivi, is here, and Nico Robin, who can interpret the text of history, is also here.

After Crocodile decided to kill Yeya, he immediately took the two of them to the royal tomb to find the whereabouts of "Pluto".

As for this country, Crocodile chose to give up. Originally, using this country as a base was also part of Crocodile's plan.

But now that this Wind-Controlling Swordsman has learned about the "Pluto", there is no guarantee that other people will not come to visit in the future.

In order to avoid other accidents, Crocodile decided to advance the plan and get "Pluto" first.

As for a country like "Alabasta", as long as he finds Pluto, he can have as many as he wants.

"Boy, you will die in this desert today, Sha Lan!

I have seen countless pirates like you who are so complacent and ignorant of their own lives because of a little bounty on the sea."

Crocodile threw out a small sandstorm from his right hand, and this small sandstorm grew rapidly in size and spread as soon as it left his hand.

Crocodile is the user of the Nature-type Devil Fruit "Sand-Sand Fruit". In the harmonious environment of the desert, his strength increases exponentially.

Looking at the sandstorm in front of him that seemed like a natural disaster, Ye Ya couldn't help but want to complain.

If Crocodile meets Luffy and throws out a sandstorm like this, the Straw Hat Pirates will be wiped out, right?

If you encounter a natural disaster like a sandstorm in the desert, there will almost always be death.

Crocodile, with the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit and the geographical advantage, actually completed this attack that was like a natural disaster.

Looking at the sandstorm that was sweeping towards them and gradually gaining power, Ye Ya himself had no problem.

With the bonuses of most cards and the LV3 "God's Grace", Ye Ya's physical strength is already completely exaggerated.

If he were to use "Armament Haki", this giant sandstorm would hardly even cause him any harm.

However, just because Yeya is not afraid of Crocodile's attack, it doesn't mean that Vivi and Robin beside Yeya can ignore Crocodile's attack.

Although the main target of this sandstorm was Yeya, Vivi and Robin were also affected and would be seriously injured if they didn't die.

Obviously Crocodile has nothing to worry about now, as long as Vivi and Nico Robin can survive.

Looking at the huge sandstorm sweeping in, Yeya pulled the frightened Vivi and Robin, who also had a frightened look on her face, over and asked them to stand behind him.

"Ice Release: Four-Sided Ice Barrier Gate!"

Robin and Vivi, who were pulled to Ye Ya's side, suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold on their skin. Then four huge ice doors rose from under the sand and surrounded them.

This is the "Ice Escape" that Yeya used before to block the old man's Ryujin Jakka, but this time it is an enhanced version of the last one.

The sandstorm was raging, and the stones and gravel brought up by the sandstorm continued to hit the nearly ten-meter-high ice door.

"You guys should be safe here for a short time. I'm going to kill that sand crocodile."

After Ye Ya finished speaking, he leaped over the ice door, covered his whole body with armed color, and used the "Air Dance Technique" to directly rush through the sandstorm in front of him.

The wind blades of the sandstorm, like sharp blades, kept cutting his body, but because of the armament color and the ice armor on Yeya, it could not hurt him at all.

Crocodile was also startled when Yeya suddenly used his body to break through the sandstorm and rushed over in an instant.

No matter how he thought about it, he could not imagine that in this desert, there was someone who could break through the sandstorm with his physical body.

Crocodile wanted to distance himself from Yeya. After all, engaging in close combat with a swordsman was undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

However, Crocodile has relied too much on the power of his fruit over the years, which has resulted in his own physical abilities being too ordinary.

"Arm!" The Muramasa in Yeya's hand turned completely black under Yeya's domineering power.

Crocodile was almost scared to death when he saw this scene. Although he didn't know how to be domineering, it didn't prevent him from knowing how to be domineering.

In the first half of the Grand Line, there were only a handful of guys who could use Haki, and he had always been fearless by relying on the "Nature" fruit and the elemental characteristics that allowed him to do so.

But this does not mean that the natural system's abilities are invincible. The "Armament Haki" that Yeya is currently using is the nemesis of the natural system's fruits.

Being hit by "Armament Haki", the natural system cannot be transformed into elements, and all the damage must be borne. In other words, if he is hit by Yeya's sword now, he will still die.

Chapter 295: The Sand Crocodile with No Power to Fight Back

Crocodile could not avoid the attack because his physical fitness was too poor, let alone block the attack from a great swordsman like Yeya.

Crocodile is also a ruthless person. Since he can't be stopped, then just minimize the damage.

Crocodile's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, and he used his left arm with the golden hook to directly block the blade that was originally chopped towards his neck.

"Ding—!" There was no doubt that the swordsman's close-range slash, coupled with the bonus of "Armament Haki", this time the golden hook in Crocodile's hand was directly cut in half under Muramasa's blade.

Along with Crocodile's left arm, Muramasa also cut it off...

But because he gave up his left arm, Crocodile avoided death.

"I didn't expect you to be so domineering. With over 200 million heads, it seems like you've offended more than just the Celestial Dragons."

Klock covered his injured left arm. Although he was injured, his demeanor remained unchanged and he continued to smoke his cigar calmly.

“From the beginning, you have been talking about my bounty.

Although in this ocean, bounties are not equivalent to strength, does your 81 million bounty really make you feel inferior?"

Ye Ya was not talking nonsense. To many powerful people, the bounty really meant nothing.

Like the "Four Emperors" of the New World, who cares how much their bounties are? Even if people knew, who could take their heads?

"You sharp-tongued little devil, if you want to snatch Hades, you have to defeat me first!"

"Desert sword!"

Crocodile used his only remaining right arm to slash at Yeya in the air, and the original arm instantly turned into a sand blade, cutting all the rocks and other obstacles along the way into two pieces.

However, Ye Ya easily dodged this powerful and extremely sharp desert sword.

Even Luffy, who has not mastered the "Observation Haki", can dodge this move, let alone Ye Ya.

To be honest, Crocodile's fruit ability is still quite strong. Not to mention the distant ones, just take this "Desert Sword" for example, its sharpness can even break the armament color.

But the problem lies with Crocodile. He has many common problems of "natural" devil fruits. He relies too much on the ability of the fruit and lacks physical exercise.

Yeya easily avoided Crocodile's desert sword and in an instant he was behind Crocodile.

At this time, Crocodile, even if he had practiced a little bit of "Observation Haki", could still avoid Yeya's attack.

But unfortunately, he never thought about learning Haki and was extremely confident in the ability of his fruit.

What was waiting for him was Muramasa, who was covered in armed color and passed directly through his chest from behind.

"Let me tell you one last thing. I am not here for Pluto, and I have no interest in that thing.

Finally, I will give you a piece of advice. If you want to use an external object like "Pluto" to compete with the monsters on the sea for the throne of Pirate King, you have already lost from the beginning."

Yeya pulled out Muramasa and Crocodile fell to the ground. Crocodile was not dead yet, but his mission was already accomplished.

"I didn't expect that I would lose to a guy like you. What is your purpose?

If it's not Pluto, does Alabasta have other secrets?"

Crocodile fell in a pool of blood, looked at Yeya unwillingly and asked.

"If I say I'm here to be a hero, would you believe me?"

Ye Ya grinned. At first, he did do it for the mission reward, but after seeing the people of this country, Ye Ya sincerely wanted to do something for this country.

Maybe there wasn't much he could do, but at least he wanted to keep those poor children from being harmed by the war.

"How ridiculous! I always thought I had it all planned out, but I never expected that you were the real conspirator.

Defeat the pirates who are plotting to seize this country, gain the trust of the royal family as a "hero", and then plot to seize this country effortlessly?"

"Didn't I expect that after all I did, I would end up making wedding clothes for you?"

Yeya was completely confused. He had no idea how amazing Crocodile's brain circuit was and how he misinterpreted his words to mean this.

Am I so complicated in the eyes of people like them who like to play tricks?

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Crocodile. As a pirate, he knows too well what kind of people pirates are.

There are countless pirates on this sea, and they are either for fame or for profit.

Pirates like the Straw Hat Pirates are the outliers among pirate groups. Not only do they not steal or rob, but they also often pay for what they receive.

Yaya is also a pirate, and Crocodile doesn't believe that Yaya would be so kind as to help the country of Alabasta for free.

So he directly put himself in Ye Ya's position, and suddenly found that what Ye Ya did was really quite brilliant.

First, he had to gain the trust of Princess Vivi, who had the best reputation among the people, and then he could get rid of the kingdom's greatest enemy.

Afterwards, he exposed himself as the culprit of the dancing fans and the sandstorm that caused no rain in Alabasta for many years to the public, and then he was able to be accepted by the people as a "hero".

From now on, Yaya will gain the recognition of the royal family and people of Alabasta, and it will be almost effortless for him to control Alabasta.

And all of this was achieved by using myself as a stepping stone.

This could also explain why the other party attacked him, one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea", even though he had no grudges against him.

The mission was accomplished. Yeya originally wanted to finish off Crocodile, but who knew that this guy had another trick up his sleeve.

When Ye Ya was about to finish him off, this guy's body sank into the sand and disappeared.

In such a vast desert, it is extremely difficult for Yeya to find the person who has the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

However, it is obviously impossible for Crocodile to continue to be one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

Yeya took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms. What Crocodile had just said about his bad deeds such as using dancing powder and sandstorm had been recorded.

This Den Den Mushi was given to him by Vivi because Crocodile has a good reputation in Alabasta. If there is no evidence, the people and the navy will not believe it.

Although Crocodile ran away, I believe that tomorrow's news will report that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was removed from the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" because he caused civil unrest in Alabasta.

When I threw the Den Den Mushi to Vivi, she still felt like she was dreaming.

Unexpectedly, she just sneaked out of the palace for one day, and the problem that had troubled Alabasta for so long was solved.

Crocodile, the invincible "Seven Warlords of the Sea" in their eyes, was actually completely unable to fight back in front of Yeya!

Chapter 296 The Hero of Alabasta "Yaya"!

Nico Robin was not much better off. She originally thought that Yeya was just like her, an ordinary person who was forced to bear a high bounty.

But now it seems that things are not the case at all. Crocodile, one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea", couldn't even take a few moves in front of them.

Even though Crocodile's bounty is only 81 million, the title of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" cannot be measured by bounty at all.

In Robin's opinion, the 250 million bounty on Yeya was probably an underestimate of him.

"It's a pity that the sand crocodile got away in the end. But with this Den Den Mushi, I believe Crocodile's fight with the Shichibukai will be over, and the navy can also intervene."

Yeya had no regrets for not being able to defeat Crocodile.

As he said, there was no deep hatred between the two of them. Yeya completed the mission and Alabasta was saved, and that was enough.

"Thank you, Brother Yeya."

Weiwei took the Den Den Mushi, rushed forward and hugged Ye Ya tightly, and invited him to visit the palace. She wanted her father to thank Ye Ya properly.

Ye Ya did not refuse. He was here on vacation anyway, and it would be better if he could eat high-end food in the palace.

Robin also followed them, but compared to Vivi, whom he completely trusted, Robin still remained skeptical about Yeya.

Unlike a naive little girl like Vivi, Robin, who has been wandering among various forces since childhood, knows well the wickedness of human nature.

In her opinion, what Yeya did was more like what Crocodile guessed.

She didn't believe that a pirate would be so dedicated and help a country for free. She had seen too many ugly faces of pirates.
