"You're actually able to do this."
When Sand Crocodile was unhappy, on the storm ship, Princess Weiwei looked at Li Ke who was standing on the bow of the ship with Nami, her eyes full of doubts and confusion. She was inexplicably caught out of an undercover operation, inexplicably saved a group of slaves, and then was pulled onto a ship inexplicably, attracting a gust of divine wind.
Then, the inexplicable drought problem that plagued his country was solved.
She was solved by a little-known navigator and a bounty hunter she had always been afraid of!
Alabasta is now in dire straits, and it is necessary for the future king and current princess to take risks to solve the problem. The reason is not the issue of Crocodile's force, nor the issue of domestic rebellion. These problems are just superficial problems caused by a core issue.
Drought is the country's biggest problem.
It doesn't rain in other parts of the kingdom, but there is a solution to the rain in the royal capital, which is to dig canals, but this requires a lot of manpower. And once the weather changes, the trajectory of the canal will have to be changed, which requires more manpower.
But the recruitment of manpower requires a stable country, but the drought has reached a point where urgent canal digging is needed to solve the problem. Canal digging has become the last straw for the country's demise.
If the canal is not dug to solve the problem, the country's rebellion will become more serious. Digging the canal will also increase the country's rebellion index. It can be said that it is wrong to take measures, and it is also wrong not to take measures.
Such is the situation in Alabasta.
It's impossible for Weiwei and the king to know nothing about Crocodile's purpose and methods, but because of Crocodile's identity as the Shichibukai, they were unable to ask for help from the official side, and the other party was trying to expel the pirates in the country. Achievements and reputation are also real, and many people are willing to believe in each other.
If no external force suddenly defeats Crocodile at this time, or if the drought problem is solved, then Alabasta will really fall into Crocodile's hands.
Crocodile can be said to be a master of strategy. His upright conspiracy is mixed with underhanded methods. Both sides work in parallel, and his own strength has also been greatly improved in the desert, which can ensure that his plan can proceed smoothly. , it can be said that it is the right path of panic, and it is difficult to succeed even if you don't want to.
Even if he doesn't find the ancient battleship Pluto, for him it's just one less jewel in the crown of victory. It's not a big problem. He can still find other ways. His true purpose is always to be accomplished. The accumulation of his own original capital has been washed away, and he has become a person who can exercise his privileges openly, a model of world government, not a damn pirate.
There is no future for pirates. What Black Cat Crow can understand, Crocodile will not fail to understand.
"This is not my power. It is always the world that takes action. Nami and I just pushed at the right time."
Li Ke turned around and smiled at Weiwei, but continued to stand on the bow of the boat leaning on his epee, while Nami did not answer what Weiwei said. She was now sitting next to Li Ke with a serious face. Look at the notebook in your hand, and from time to time use a telescope to observe the wind and rain clouds behind and in front of you.
Yes, he did not use his instinct to cause a storm, but relied entirely on the knowledge he and Nami had to do all this.
The sword that cuts through all things, combined with the swordsmanship he obtained from Tianxin, or instinct, creates storms and uses the power of nature to induce the power of nature. And most importantly, Nami's understanding of celestial phenomena was able to lead the storm on the sea to Alabasta, causing a brief rain here.
But even so, they didn't do it completely well.
After all, manpower has its limits.
Although the black wind and rain are very heavy, in fact, the rain can only last ten minutes now. It is impossible to sweep the entire Alabasta.
However, it exceeded his expectations. In his original estimation, the rain would only affect a few severely affected coastal cities and alleviate the drought a little, but it would not be able to solve the problem at all.
Because his original plan was to repeat this several times, to act like "I can solve the trouble you caused without any external force" to Sand Crocodile, to force the opponent to reveal his flaws, or to give up this plan, and then find a way to confront him head-on. opportunity, and then directly defeat the opponent.
As for the evidence? His conspiracy is explained in the original work. Even if he can't find it now, Li Ke stuffed a bag of sand into Crocodile's arms and said he was a dancing fan. When Crocodile is defeated and it rains again, there will be Who said that sand is not made of dancing powder?
but……
He glanced at Nami, who was recording something seriously there, and couldn't help but smile.
Talent is something that people can't help but envy. After I thought of this plan without thinking, and asked Nami to help me control the wind and rain clouds, I finally understood Nami's talent in a real sense. How terrifying is the talent?
When Nami helped him control storms and rain clouds, she unconsciously learned his swordsmanship, and even unknowingly optimized his swordsmanship to a certain extent, forming a unique set of swordsmanship. Nami's own 'Wind Control Swordsmanship'.
The direction of the wind, the direction of the rain clouds, what she needs to do is to use the domineering power of knowledge and the unique state of everything in this world. Nami relies on her hunch, self-judgment, and the knowledge she has learned. It can be done easily.
If she didn't have enough physical strength and sword skills, she could now lead the storm on her behalf. Li Ke can also be sure of one thing, that is, if Nami comes to use this sword skill, she will only be able to trigger more storms and gather more rain clouds.
Just as Li Ke smiled and watched Nami continue to measure the storm, the tired Nami suddenly raised her head and her face became serious.
"Li Ke, at eight o'clock ahead, there will be a storm there. Cutting off the wind there can form a closed loop, allowing the rain clouds to go further... And the rain here is very strange. When the water vapor reaches here, it seems It’s like something is imprisoned here, it’s very similar to the place where dancing powder was used in legend!”
Li Ke couldn't help but chuckle, because he saw Crocodile, the Crocodile who did not have a rain feast at his base camp, but ran to the capital Aruba.
Although he had never seen the other party before, the big golden hook and cigar, as well as the well-hidden but still blazing murderous intention, still allowed Li Ke to see the other party's murderous intention at a glance.
Everyone was ecstatic because of the arrival of the rain, but he was the only one who was angry because of the rain, and even wanted to kill someone. So who else could he be if he wasn't Crocodile?
He slowly waved his sword, but he could no longer change the direction of the wind. He could only affect the surrounding wind direction, allowing the invisible wind to bring their ship to the ground, or in other words, without his intervention. Get off and continue your voyage.
"Are you sure? Make evidence based on the phenomenon."
Li Ke put the sword on his shoulder, while Nami nodded seriously.
"Yes, the celestial phenomena here explain everything. As long as a climatologist with a normal mind makes some measurements and tests, he can see the problems here."
Weiwei couldn't help but cover her chest when she heard this, and Li Ke gave her another smile at this time.
"It seems that your father's governance failed quite a bit."
Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom of Sand clutched the clothes on her chest. She wanted to defend something, but she was speechless. Li Ke shook his head. It was really a failure to be a king without even having a trustworthy person who could do things.
Weiwei almost cried, she understood this, but Li Ke didn't give her time to react, and suddenly jumped off the bow of the boat in her stunned eyes. When she looked anxiously, she discovered that Li Ke's whole figure was soaring in the air like a big bird. She didn't understand what Li Ke wanted to do, but Nuo Qigao on the side pointed out Li Ke's behavior.
"It seems that he went to deal with the culprit. Your Highness, based on what I know about him, he will send us to the palace. Have you thought about what to tell your father?"
Nuo Qigao, who was hanging a lollipop as a substitute for cigarettes and doing exercises, spoke up. Although she did not have the terrifying talent of her sister, when it came to understanding Li Ke, she was probably better than Nami. Everyone wanted to know Li Ke, so he asked Weiwei a question at the right time.
"I will make my father agree."
"Which aspect."
Weiwei bit her lip. Although there was still panic in her eyes, she was more determined.
Li Ke's behavior caught her off guard. It was almost a direct declaration of war against Crocodile. Once Li Ke failed, not only would he die, but the situation of their Alabasta royal family would also be more critical.
And Weiwei doesn't want this, so she must have a way to let Li Ke survive after failure. For this shining girl, there is almost only one way.
"He will be my husband."
As the ship descended, Weiwei's firm voice also sounded. To her words, Nami, who was focused, did not respond, while Nokigao shook his head calmly.
"hope so."
Her tone didn't change much, but it gave people a sense of helplessness, which made Weiwei couldn't help but clenched her fists.
As for Robin?
Robin is reading a book.
As for Li Ke, who controlled the surrounding airflow and landed in a gliding posture, Li Ke was naturally discovered by the people below, especially Crocodile, who was most concerned about this matter. He looked at Li Ke falling from the air. Ke, at first thought that Li Ke was the person above who slipped and fell, but it didn't take long for his eyes to narrow.
"Are you here for me?"
He really wants to retreat. The rain is very heavy now, which is quite unfavorable for him. The reason why he wants to get Alabasta is because he wants to get this place that suits him so well. But now this sudden rain has Let his idea fail.
At this time, he was very weak. It could be said that he had gone from a home court that perfectly suited him to a place where he was very restrained. If he fights here, his strength will be directly reduced from 200% to 70%!
"Who is it..."
He quickly hid in his house, countless yellow sand scattered from his body, and the places where these yellow sand passed, whether it was the floor or the walls, also turned into grains of yellow sand, and the floor became even more It was drilled directly, so that the ground under the building quickly became his source of yellow sand, so that he could face the subsequent threats, or...
Escape by digging a hole in the ground.
Escape is not shameful, and it is very effective. Why should he fight on the road with someone who is clearly coming for him? Wouldn't it be better to wait until the rain stops to settle accounts with the other party?
He is a pirate, not a knight of perseverance and justice. Is there anything wrong with retreating when encountering a situation that is unfavorable to him?
However, just as he thought, this person who fell from the sky came exactly for him.
"Krokdal! Did you feel this sudden divine wind?!"
The violent wind pressure suddenly struck with a man laughing loudly. The house above him was destroyed by the storm in an instant, revealing the figure of a man who was descending rapidly. Crocodile was waiting for this moment. The yellow sand he had accumulated turned into a rotating storm at this moment, directly hitting the violent wind pressure.
"Shalan!"
The tornado formed by the sand and the wind pressure collided together, and an earth-shattering explosion made the surrounding residents wake up from the joy of heavy rain and quickly think of other places to escape.
Crocodile also wanted to escape, because although his Sha Lan destroyed the storm coming from the front, a strong sense of crisis hit his heart at the next moment. He immediately raised his golden hook and pointed towards The sky blocked it with a sense of crisis.
Lack of trust helped him to elementalize countless times, because he felt that if he didn't face this attack head-on, he would die!
The black sword pierced the sandstorm caused by the collision between Sha Lan and Feng Pressure, and collided with Crocodile's poison-stained golden hook.
Suddenly something happened that shocked Crocodile. Not only was his golden hook flattened, but the power from the sword...
A strong vibration came from the ground, and the already dilapidated building began to collapse. However, a sword light cut through the collapsed building like butter, and a streak of yellow sand also cut through the countless parts of the building. A figure emerged from the gap, and above the eldest sister who was covered with rain, a figure was formed, covering his left arm and panting.
This figure is none other than Crocodile. His left arm, which originally had a golden hook, has completely disappeared, and the smoke and dust generated by the collapse of the building were directly dispersed by a wave of sword light, revealing the huge pit inside. , and a young figure carrying a sword and holding a severed arm in his hand.
"It's very good. They say you are a useless Shichibukai who doesn't understand Haki and is not proficient in physical skills, but it seems that is not the case now. Your Haki cultivation is obviously very good, and you have obviously practiced hard in physical skills. ."
Li Ke threw away Crocodile's arm casually, and couldn't help pouting at the original work of One Piece. The sword Crocodile he just carried with the power of landing was followed, although it was a little reluctant, and because of a wrong estimation. One of his arms was cut off due to his sword and swordsmanship, but there was no doubt that he was domineering and had good physical skills.
Otherwise, there would be no way he could take the sword he just struck.
So his open straw hat seems to be bigger than his.
This made him feel a little embarrassed.
