Chapter 51

How could he appear here?

Crocodile tried to release his hand to restore his Devil Fruit ability, but found that his hand was stuck to the blade as if glued fast, and he simply could not let go.

"Is this your Devil Fruit ability?" Crocodile snarled.

What the hell kind of Devil Fruit ability is this!

How does it even force a person to catch a bare blade with empty hands?

"Enjoy it well," Lord Sima said with a half-smile.

Immediately,

golden light flared in his eyes, and in a grand, silvery voice he recited a passage in a strange, perfectly enunciated accent—strangely, though Crocodile clearly did not recognize the words, he understood their meaning perfectly.

"What is filial piety?"

"What is love?"

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

"Appraisal Technique!!!"

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

The next second,

Crocodile's belly swelled up like a balloon being inflated—one second one shape, and in ten seconds it had reached the size of a full-term pregnancy.

What followed was heart-wrenching agony!

"Ah—what is this!"

"Hsss—"

The pain came wave after wave from his belly and lower body like an avalanche, nearly causing Crocodile to pass out from the pain!

Yet his mind remained unusually clear, able to distinctly experience every moment of the pain's arrival.

He simply couldn't understand!

What kind of bizarre ability is this?

And Lord Sima, watching Crocodile clutch his belly and stubbornly endure, also wore a very strange look in his eyes.

Tch!

This was his first time seeing a grown man with a full-term pregnancy—and one who was actually going into labor, no less?

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

Crocodile didn't know that!

"Be grateful to me, Crocodile—you're about to deliver a child. Do you want a boy or a girl?" Lord Sima said with an eerie smile.

Crocodile was completely dumbfounded on the spot!

What the hell?

Me!

Crocodile!

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Gi—ving—birth—to—a—child!!!???

But......

"What kind of joke is this! I'm a man, damn it!!!"

52. Crocodile gives birth—does the child call him Dad or Mom?

"What kind of joke is this! I'm a man, damn it!!!"

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

Damn it!

Devil Fruit abilities follow no logic—could it be that......

He really is going to give birth to a child today?

That can't be, right?

If he really does give birth to a child......

Then should the child call him Daddy or Mommy?

No, wait!

Children are born from a woman's parts—how is a grown man like him supposed to give birth?

By cutting his belly open?

Or......

The back door?

No way, no way, right?

This absolutely cannot be!

"Damn it! Cancel your ability on me!" Crocodile said through gritted teeth.

But Lord Sima could only shrug, spread his hands, and shake his head—a helpless three-in-one.

"Once a child is sent out, no returns are accepted."

The Appraisal Technique truly only has the ability to "swell someone's belly"—recalling it is impossible; the only option is to endure half an hour of labor pains.

Now Crocodile panicked!

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

Sima Di shrugged again — it really was that miraculous.

"Damnable! Die for me!"

"Desert Blade!"

The vicious slash swept toward Sima Di, but he caught it barehanded.

Armament Haki is just that badass!

"Let me point you a way out." Sima Di said: "As long as you can defeat Luffy, I'll find a way to lift it for you."

The Word Spirit ability should probably be removable... right?

But in his current state, Crocodile's combat power would drop by at least thirty percent — could he still beat Luffy?

Or rather...

End the fight within half an hour?

Almost no chance.

"Deal!"

Crocodile agreed in one breath.

"He's waiting for you in Chengdong, you......"

"Whoosh—"

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

As for that so-called "Operation Utopia"?

It no longer mattered!

If this really produced a child, he'd probably lose face to live in this world, and whatever hegemon plans would be empty then.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Didn't expect this thing to have such killing power." Sima Di watched and shook his head.

Putting himself in the other's shoes and thinking about it...

He couldn't help but shrink his neck — it really is a tiny bit scary, huh!

Since Crocodile had been arranged, then...

Transformation Technique!

A puff of smoke dispersed, and Sima Di transformed into Crocodile's appearance.

【Sand-Sand Fruit!】

After a brief adjustment, Sima Di turned into a sandstorm sweeping toward outside the city, landing before the long-waiting "Kohza."

"Boss, how did it go?"
