"Buzz!"
The white snow in the forest shook, and everything seemed to be at a standstill.
Crocodile's pupils shrank, and an inexplicable emotion of fear emerged in his heart. The younger brother next to him made a pop, his face pressed to the ground, embedded in the snow, motionless.
He turned around and saw that the other pirates' eyes turned white and they fell to the ground one by one.
"Damn it!"
"How is this going?"
Crocodile said tremblingly, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
At this moment, his whole body felt weak, and his soul was unable to produce any sense of resistance, which made him feel suffocated. The invisible pressure made his body stiff and his head dizzy, and he could only barely hold on.
When he turned his head again, the young general had disappeared.
The strong wind suddenly spread across the face, and a white dancing cloak came into view. White snowflakes were lifted up, and Crocodile raised his head.
The figure of the young general suddenly appeared. His right hand was gloved, already clenched into a fist, and he was about to dive and punch.
"useless!"
"I have elementalization!"
Crocodile thought in his heart, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips subconsciously.
Although he didn't know what was going on with that aura, but this young general was still too young.
However, just the next second.
A steel-like fist hit his cheek with such brutal and violent force that large stars appeared in front of his eyes. His whole body instantly fell to the ground and hit the white snow with a bang.
The other side of the cheek collapsed the snow, the ground cracked, and a pit with a radius of more than ten meters appeared.
Consciousness also completely dissipated at this moment and fell into darkness.
Xia Le stood next to the big pit, a little dazed for a moment. He looked down at Crocodile, who was lying there, his head sinking into the ground, motionless.
"He's not going to die, right?!"
He didn't know exactly how strong Crocodile was at this time. Therefore, this punch did not use full strength, but relied on the strength of one's own body.
Moreover, only 30% was used.
After all, with the suppression of the Sea Tower Stone Glove in his heart, even the natural system could not exert any power at all.
T. Penn and others came over quickly. When they saw the unconscious pirates lying on the ground and Crocodile who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, they looked at each other speechlessly, but they were not too surprised.
"Sir, you are too cruel."
"This guy's head won't explode, right?"
Shipwright Sluo said speechlessly.
He could clearly see that the part of the ground where Crocodile's head was embedded was quickly stained red with blood.
Fortunately, after a quick check, Evans and others quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "He's not dead yet."
"This guy's head is very hard. It can withstand Commander Xia Le's iron fist, but his skull is already cracked."
The subsequent processing is much simpler.
T. Penn was responsible for contacting the nearby navy to capture the unconscious pirates, while Crocodile was carried on the shoulders of Rocinante all the way to the warship.
Under Xia Le's consent, Mina performed a simple bandage treatment on Crocodile's head.
"I hope I can survive!"
"If he ends up in a vegetative state, I can only give him another punch."
Xia Le sighed inwardly.
He was also a little helpless. First, he underestimated the power of his seastone gloves, and second, he overestimated Crocodile's ability to withstand it.
However, being able to stand up despite the impact of his domineering lust shows that the other party does have something.
------------------
After five or six days, Crocodile's dark world finally received its first ray of light.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a blue sky and seagulls flying by with their wings flapping and chirping.
"This is where?"
"Who am I?"
A trace of confusion passed through his mind, Crocodile supported himself with his arms, and slowly sat up.
"are you awake?"
The figure in front of him, wearing the skin of justice, stood upright, and the voice came from the other party's mouth.
For some reason, when Crocodile saw this figure, he instinctively felt a sense of fear, which made him a little nervous. At the same time, the severe pain in his head also hit him quickly, making him groan in pain.
"Who are you?"
He opened his mouth with difficulty, only to feel that his mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse.
"My name is Xia Le!"
Xia Le turned around.
He stared at the other person, doubts arising in his heart.
Something seems wrong with Crocodile's condition.
"Xia Le?"
Crocodile seemed to have some impression of the name as he read it, but he was not familiar with it.
After a moment of silence, he looked up blankly again.
"Then who am I?"
Xia Le was stunned. He could naturally tell that this guy was not pretending.
In order to be 100% sure, he even looked at Evans who was wiping his gun next to him, and the other party nodded seriously.
"Has your brain been damaged by my punch?"
Xia Le was a little confused.
But then, he started laughing.
This seems better!
"Listen, kid!"
His eyes looked at Crocodile again, who looked confused.
"I rescued you from pirates, and your current identity is."
"A midshipman on my ship!"
Hearing this, Crocodile looked around again.
Others looked at him curiously.
"I, Crocodile!"
"A midshipman?"
Crocodile repeated in a murmur.
He seemed to have lost his previous memory and forgotten who he was, but other parts were fine and he could clearly understand the meaning of the trainee navy.
Slowly closing his eyes, a figure appeared in Crocodile's mind, making his instinctive fear shrink.
He tried to remember that it was a fluttering white cloak and a fist with pitch black gloves.
Opening his eyes again, Crocodile looked at the opponent's right hand, which was exactly the same as the black glove in his memory.
"Maybe he is right!"
"I only remember some things about him, probably because I admire him very much."
He thought secretly.
So, from that day on, Crocodile, whose brain was shattered before he left the army, began to live happily as a trainee navy officer on board the Charlot.
Within five days, the young Crocodile became familiar with Rosinandy, T. Penn, Evans and others.
Moreover, his own Shasha Fruit ability also made others on the ship extremely curious.
"Wow wow wow, that's awesome, this kind of ability!"
"It's actually immune to all physical attacks, that's amazing!"
"You are very strong, Crocodile. You can even fight Yin Wensi in close combat without using your fruit power!"
Rosinandy shouted.
On this ship, twelve-year-old Rosinandi is basically the atmosphere group, very lively and cheerful.
T Penn, on the other hand, was sparring with Yagyu Bingwei with swords, and soon developed a feeling of sympathy for each other and became good friends.
Xia Le crossed his arms and smiled lightly as he watched Crocodile quickly become friends with everyone.
"The Sand Crocodile after Amnesia."
"It seems that I am gradually experiencing new fun."
"Maybe he will be grateful for my punch in the future."
