Chapter 133

His gaze flickered slightly.

Though he saw no one, he had already guessed who it was.

Counting the timeline, that black fellow had indeed been hiding in the first half of the Grand Line long ago.

Yet to appear in Alabasta at the same time as him was truly interesting.

Luo Xing curled his lips and stepped toward that direction.

Behind him, Jack and Fizz-Fu followed closely.

Soon they arrived at a ruined small town.

The town was in ruins, and not a single resident's figure was to be seen.

Clearly, this was not ordinary.

As a transmigrator, Luo Xing knew the town's residents had probably all gone to join the civil war between the Alabasta Royal Army and the rebel army.

In the center of the town stood several oddly shaped figures.

Five of them belonged to the same faction, while another fellow with hair tied into the shape of the number "3" stood opposite them.

"You are the Blackbeard Pirates, aren't you?"

Mr. 3, Galdino, said:

"The President has ordered me to bring back your heads. Surrender quietly, or you will suffer the pain of becoming wax figures!"

He was a Wax-Wax Fruit user. Within the Baroque Works, his strength ranked just below the President, Crocodile, Mr. 1, and Mr. 2, making him quite powerful.

At least in the first half of the Grand Line, Mr. 3 was a named and recognized strongman.

However.

Crocodile's arrogance caused him to choose the wrong opponent this time.

"Zehahaha!"

Blackbeard laughed loudly toward the sky and said to Burgess and Lafitte on his left and right:

"Such a small fry dares to speak to me like this! Zehahaha, it seems my Blackbeard's reputation is not loud enough yet!"

Burgess clenched his fists and grinned wickedly:

"Captain, let me destroy this guy!"

"No, do not kill him." Blackbeard waved his hand and said, "Leave him a small life to carry a message to that sand crocodile. I am Blackbeard! Do not underestimate me so!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Burgess suddenly charged at Mr. 3.

· ········· Begging for flowers · ····

Mr. 3 was stunned dumb by the conversation between Blackbeard and the others.

Are these people so fierce that they don't even respect the President?

But he had no time to think further, because Burgess was faster than he could imagine, arriving before him in an instant.

Mr. 3 turned pale with shock and quickly made a wax shield.

But it was useless; Burgess, with his immense strength, shattered it with a single punch.

Mr. 3 was knocked flying, Suffered Heavy Losses, his expression filled with terror, his earlier confidence gone.

"Go carry a message to that sand crocodile, you ignorant trash!"

Burgess grinned wildly.

Mr. 3 was even more terrified and scrambled away in a panic.

After this incident, Blackbeard and his crew grew even more ferocious, strutting boldly toward the capital of Alabasta.

Luo Xing watched the entire scene that had just unfolded.

As he had expected, that dark aura which made him extremely uncomfortable was emanating from Blackbeard.

Jack spoke in a muffled voice:

"Young Master, shall I go kill these guys?"

Since leaving Wano Country with Luo Xing, besides once plugging a volcano with his butt, Jack had not fought a single battle and was already itching for a fight.

He did not know Blackbeard or the others at all, but since they appeared before him, he would fight them first.

Luo Xing said:

"No, it is not yet time to kill them. That Blackbeard still has value to me."

The Summit War is a crucial part of Luo Xing's plan.

And Blackbeard is an indispensable factor causing the Summit War.

Therefore,

although Luo Xing felt not a shred of goodwill toward Blackbeard, this was not the time to kill him.

"Follow them and see what they intend to do in Alabasta."

Luo Xing was quite curious about Blackbeard's purpose in coming to Alabasta.

According to his memory, in the original story, Blackbeard apparently never came to Alabasta, and even if he did, he certainly did not go deep.

But judging by the direction Blackbeard and the others were heading now, they were clearly going to the capital of Alabasta.

There lies the lair of the sand crocodile, Crocodile.

Is Blackbeard after the ancient weapon Pluton, or the position of a Warlord of the Sea held by Crocodile?

If it is the former, even if it affects the progress of the Summit War, Luo Xing would kill Blackbeard immediately.

He would absolutely not allow Blackbeard to obtain such a devastating weapon as an ancient weapon.

If it is the latter, then Luo Xing would simply sit on the sidelines and enjoy a good show of dogs biting dogs.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

121. The Cruel Crocodile, the Desperate Vivi, the Ignorant People

Mr. 3 tumbled and crawled back to the Wang Gong of Alabasta.

Crocodile was still interrogating Cobra.

Upon seeing Mr. 3, the sand crocodile Crocodile's expression instantly darkened.

The high-ranking officers of Baroque Works, including Robin, Mr. 1, and Mr. 2, felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing Crocodile's gloomy face.

For they all knew how cruel Crocodile was.

Once he was provoked, the consequence would be a miserable death.

But Mr. 3 himself did not yet know that he had already angered his capricious my lord, the president.

Mr. 3 swallowed hard, gasped for air, and hurriedly said:

"My lord, the Blackbeard Pirates... the Blackbeard Pirates are almost here!"

Crocodile, with a darkened face, rose from the Wang Zuo, walked step by step toward Mr. 3, and said in a chilling voice:

"Didn't I order you to bring back their heads?"

Only then did Mr. 3 realize he had actually made the president angry!

His body shuddered violently, endless fear rising from the depths of his heart, and he said with trembling lips:

"M-M-My lord, this isn't my fault, it's... they were too strong... '913'"

"Shut up!"

Crocodile suddenly barked coldly.

"It is clearly you who are too weak, Mr. 3!"

That killing intent, as if coming from hell, made Mr. 3's legs tremble.

He knew he was finished; the Blackbeard Pirates had not killed him, but with the president's cruelty, he certainly would not be spared!

Mr. 3 wanted to flee, but before Crocodile's terrifying momentum, he could not move at all.

Suddenly, a huge hand grabbed his neck.

Mr. 3 was lifted up by Crocodile.

"There are no weaklings in my crew!"

"In this world, the weak have no value to live!"

Crocodile's palm suddenly emitted a powerful suction force, actually sucking all the moisture from within Mr. 3's body dry!

In the blink of an eye, Mr. 3 turned into a desiccated mummy!

Crocodile casually tossed the mummified Mr. 3 away, as if he had merely killed an insignificant ant.

He looked at Cobra, whose face was becoming even paler, and sneered:
