Chapter 43

How did he appear here?

Crocodile tried to loosen his grip to restore his Devil Fruit abilities, but found his hand was stuck to the blade as if glued, unable to let go at all.

"Is this your Devil Fruit ability?" Crocodile demanded furiously.

What kind of hellish Devil Fruit ability is this!

How can it force someone to catch a blade with their bare hands?

"Enjoy it," Lord Lord Sima Di said with an ambiguous smile.

Immediately,

Golden light erupted from his eyes, and he recited a string of strange, perfectly enunciated words in a majestic silver tone. Strangely, even though Crocodile didn't recognize the language, he clearly understood its meaning.

"What is filial piety?"

"What is love?"

"Do you know the greatness of a mother's love?"

"Strongman Appraisal Technique!!!"

The golden light finally shot from Lord Lord Sima Di's eyes, striking Crocodile squarely in the chest.

The next second,

Crocodile's abdomen swelled up like a balloon; it changed every second, and within ten seconds, it reached the size of a ten-month pregnancy.

What followed was heart-wrenching pain!

"Ah—what is this!"

"Hiss—"

The pain surged from his abdomen and lower body like a tidal wave, wave after wave, nearly knocking Crocodile unconscious!

Yet his mind remained abnormally clear, allowing him to experience every bit of the pain as it arrived.

It was incomprehensible!

What kind of bizarre ability is this?

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at Crocodile, who was clutching his belly and struggling to endure, with a very strange expression.

Tsk!

It was his first time seeing a grown man ten months pregnant, and he was even going into labor?

Although it was impossible to actually give birth to a child, but...

Crocodile didn't know that!

"Thank me, Crocodile. You are about to give birth to a child. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Lord Lord Sima Di said with an eerie smile.

Crocodile was stunned on the spot!

What the hell?

Me!

Crocodile!

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Giving! Birth! To! A! Child!!!???

But...

"What kind of joke is this! I am a man!!!"

Thanks to: "Feng Luan" for the 588 VIP point tip!

52. The Sand Crocodile has given birth; will the child call him Dad or Mom?

"What kind of joke is this! I am a man!!!"

Crocodile's incredulous roar also showed how panicked he was at this moment!

Damn it!

Devil Fruit abilities are unreasonable; could it be...

Is he really going to give birth to a child today?

That can't be, right?

If he really gave birth to a child...

Should it call him Dad or Mom?

No!

Children are born from female parts; how is a grown man supposed to give birth?

Is it a C-section?

Or...

The back door?

No way, no way?

This is absolutely impossible!

"Damn it! Cancel your ability!" Crocodile gritted his teeth.

But Lord Lord Sima Di could only shrug, spread his hands, and shake his head in a triple gesture of helplessness.

"Once a child is delivered, it cannot be returned."

The Strongman Appraisal Technique indeed only has the ability to "get others pregnant"; it is impossible to take it back. The only choice is to endure half an hour of labor pain.

Now Crocodile panicked!

"How is that possible! This is your ability; you can't control it?"

Lord Lord Sima Di shrugged again; it was just that magical.

"Damn you! Die!"

"Desert Spada!"

The sharp slash swept toward Lord Lord Sima Di, but was caught by his bare hand.

That is how awesome Armament Haki is!

"I'll give you a path," Lord Lord Sima Di said. "As long as you can defeat Luffy, I will find a way to undo it for you."

The Word Spirit ability could probably undo it... maybe?

But in his current state, Crocodile's combat power would drop by at least 30%. Could he still beat Luffy?

Or rather...

End the battle within half an hour?

It was almost impossible.

"Fine!"

Crocodile agreed immediately.

"He is waiting for you in the east of the city, you..."

"Whoosh—"

Crocodile transformed into a sandstorm and swept away, unable to wait.

As for the "Utopia Plan"?

It didn't matter anymore!

If he really gave birth to a child, he probably wouldn't have the face to live in this world, and any ambition would be meaningless.

"Tsk tsk tsk! I didn't expect this thing to have such high lethality." Lord Lord Sima Di shook his head.

Putting himself in his shoes...

He couldn't help but shrink his neck; it was a bit terrifying!

Since Crocodile was taken care of, then...

Transformation Technique!

A puff of smoke dissipated, and Lord Lord Sima Di transformed into the appearance of Crocodile.

[Sand-Sand Fruit!]

After a brief adjustment, Lord Lord Sima Di transformed into sand and swept toward the outskirts of the city, landing in front of the long-waiting "Koza."

"Boss, how did it go?"

Upon hearing this address,

Lord Lord Sima Di knew that this Koza was Mr. 2 in disguise, and he nodded coldly.

"I have already taken care of the ambush. Let's go."

"Good, as expected of the boss! I will now..."

"Wait, notify Mr. 1 to go to the north of the city. I've saved the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates for him."

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Yes!"

Thus,

When the army set out, Mr. 1 left the main force alone and headed toward the north of the city.

Even,

He was somewhat moved by the boss's "thoughtfulness." Last time he failed to kill that swordsman, which was a disgrace for someone who called himself the "Swordsman Killer"!

The rebel army marched straight in, crossing the city gate, the city area, and the outer wall of the palace.

Finally, they met the shirtless 400,000-strong Royal Army in the giant square.

The rebel army, which had been prepared for a desperate fight, was stunned at the sight!

Weren't they supposed to fight to the death?

Why hadn't the other side even put on their gear?

Mr. 2 cast an inquiring look at Lord Lord Sima Di; what should they do now?

Lord Lord Sima Di returned a look that meant "wait and see."

Just as everyone was confused,

Vivi's voice rang out from the loudspeakers all over Alubarna.

"Citizens, I am Princess Vivi."

"I now represent Alabasta and the Nefertari Royal Family in an unconditional surrender to you all! All weapons are piled under the steps; this is our sincerity!"

"So no matter what happens next, please do not resort to violence!"

"Alabasta belongs to everyone. A bloodbath will only please the conspirators behind this, and only our families will suffer!"

The rebel army was in an uproar!

"What?"

"The Royal Army... has surrendered just like that?"

"But why?"

"We can finally live!"

Mr. 2 was also stunned, looking at "Crocodile" again.

Shouldn't they do something?

Lord Lord Sima Di shook his head again.

What could he let you do?

And then...

The crazy move came!

Just see...

?????????????????

There will be an extra chapter later, making up for yesterday's!

Please comment in the comment section! One extra chapter for every 100 comments! Progress: 199/200;

53. Zoro's famous scene! Using magic to defeat magic!

Just as both the rebel army and the Royal Army were in a daze, Vivi began her journey of persuasion.

From the initial "Dance Powder was deliberately used by the conspirators," to the fact that apart from the capital Alubarna, only Rainbase, guarded by Crocodile, would have rain.

Vivi asked a soul-searching question!

"Since Dance Powder has already been used in Alubarna to greedily plunder the surrounding rain, why is there still rain in Rainbase?"

"If you say it's because it's across the river, then why are Yuba and Erumalu, which are in the same situation, still suffering from drought?"

This question, which no one had ever thought of in the past, was now highlighted.

That's right!

Using Dance Powder in Alubarna alone couldn't affect the other half of the country across the river!

Unless...

The abundant rain in Rainbase was also brought by Dance Powder!

And as the person stationed in Rainbase, Crocodile...

"Guhahaha—" Lord Lord Sima Di, disguised as Crocodile, laughed loudly: "Princess Vivi, you aren't going to say I used Dance Powder, are you? Stop hiding and come out to talk!"

"I'm coming out!"

Vivi walked out from the edge of the square, stood in front of the Royal Army, and stared at Crocodile from the steps.

"Isn't that the case?" Vivi questioned: "Using Dance Powder to smear the royal family, acting as a hero on the surface to gain fame, while secretly forming the Baroque Works as an armed force, intending to launch a coup today to steal the country and complete your Utopia Plan!"

"Guhahaha—"

Crocodile laughed exaggeratedly, as if he had heard something extremely funny.

However...

"Do you think I don't have evidence?"

Vivi pointed to one side of the square, and everyone discovered a giant curtain there.

Following Vivi's signal,

The giant curtain projected an image, which was exactly the scene of Crocodile painting a big picture in the underground secret room.

"...The Utopia Plan is more than half complete, just the final step remains!"

"At that time, the King disguised by Mr. 2 will abdicate to me, and we will become the new royal family!"

"Everyone, follow me to conquer the world!"

Although the screen stopped abruptly here, it was enough to explain everything.

—There is no "video editing" in the pirate world; Den Den Mushi will only faithfully play the footage it recorded.

Crocodile was now unable to defend himself!

Mr. 2's eyes widened!

He was there at the time, so why didn't he remember Crocodile saying that?

Mr. 2 tried to verify it with Crocodile, but the person beside him just looked at the image with a dark face, having no intention of communicating with him.

—Den Den Mushi cannot fake things, but people and scenes can be faked!

Didn't you, Crocodile, know how to frame people?

Then Lord Lord Sima Di used the Transformation Technique to record this image and create evidence!

This is called using magic to deal with magic.

And it wasn't over yet.

The scene changed,

It was Mr. 2 in a swan suit looking in the mirror, activating the "Clone-Clone Fruit" to switch between faces, including those of King Cobra and rebel leader Koza.

Needless to say,

This was also created by Lord Lord Sima Di.

Even Mr. 2 was dumbfounded, wondering when he had been secretly filmed.

At this time,

Vivi explained in a timely manner: "The so-called Utopia Operation is to use the Dance Powder incident to provoke conflict and provide weapons to the rebel army."

"Then use the image of a hero to gain the people's trust."

"After that, kidnap the King, and have the high-level agent Mr. 2, who ate the Clone-Clone Fruit, pretend to be the King and destroy the town to completely incite opposition, letting the rebel army and the Royal Army kill each other, while he sits back and reaps the benefits."

"Now, the source of all the disasters in Alabasta is the so-called hero of Alabasta, the Seven Warlord of the Sea, the pirate Crocodile before us!"
