Pirate: Paper fruit is a Phantom Beast, isn't it too much?

Although Luffy's attack worked, it was not the same as before. Crocodile was only slightly injured, and he became more serious. Luffy also felt that this might be the first strong enemy he encountered since he went to sea.

"Desert Knife" Crocodile's arm turned into a sand knife and slashed at Luffy.

"Rubber rubber, bazooka!" Luffy didn't want to hide at all, but bumped into it with his arms covered.

He smashed Crocodile's knife with both hands, and went straight to Crocodile's chest without stopping.

The battle-tested Crocodile didn't panic, and put his weapon across his chest to block Luffy's attack, even so, he was still repelled by a long distance.

"Sand World" Crocodile slapped his palm on the ground, creating a home field for himself.

This is all the fault of the movies and TV series played by Chu Si, which led to the imagination of these strong men in the sea becoming more and more abundant.

"I don't have time to play pirate games with you as a child. If you are going to continue playing, then be ready to die! Quicksand Tornado!"

The sand world assimilates the surroundings into sand, and the quicksand tornado is a vortex formed with Luffy as the center, which is very similar to the desert sunflower in the original book, but the scope is the entire sand world, and a tornado will slowly form in the center.

"Rubber rubber, bouncy ball" Luffy found himself sinking slowly on the quicksand, breathed hard, stretched himself bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a big balloon, blowing his mouth down to make himself move, and then bounced back and forth in the quicksand, the trajectory was irregular, but his hands retracted little by little.

"Rubber rubber, bouncy gun!" Luffy, whose trajectory was irregular at all, suddenly shot his hand out, aiming at Crocodile.

"Childish attack! Guardian of the sand!" Crocodile directly pulled out the sand from the ground in pieces to block him.

Luffy's attack collided with Crocodile's defense in an instant. After a loud noise, the shield made of sand was not broken, but a deep handprint was made.

……

When Aokiji received the reply from Sengoku to cancel the position of King Crocodile's Shichibukai, Luffy and Crocodile had already started fighting.

Aokiji watched the battle not far away with the intention of observing it and not doing it if he could.

On the field, Garp's grandson obviously has the strength close to that of an ordinary vice-admiral, which surprised Aokiji, but he was relieved after thinking about it. Considering Garp's combat ability, it should be reasonable for his grandson to come to this step at such a young age, right?
As a high-ranking officer in the navy, Aokiji still knows something. Garp once told him that the tutor of his two grandsons is Chu Si.

And based on his own understanding of the current situation, whether it is the world government, the navy, or even Chu Si, what are they waiting for? Aokiji decided to wait for the Alabasta incident to end before going to chat with Chu Si to see if he could get some information, so as to prepare himself for the future.

Seeing Luffy, Aokiji couldn't help but think of the strange order of the World Government. This order was passed to the Navy after the World Government issued a reward order to Luffy.

The order clearly stated that there is no need to arrest Luffy, just get rid of the Gou Sheng who didn't offer a reward.

The reason given is even more absurd, saying that the fruit that Luffy eats will automatically avoid the pursuit of the world government and navy, and cannot be caught.

Aokiji thinks that this kind of reason is deceiving ghosts, and ghosts don't believe it, let alone me with a normal IQ?

Recently, there are more and more ideas. I went to Karp to ask him what to do. Karp told him that if he wanted to know more, he could go to Chusi, and Chusi should be able to give him the answer.

Garp is Aokiji's guide in the navy, and Aokiji stayed on Garp's ship for a long time before the lieutenant admiral, so Aokiji naturally believed what he said, but there were a lot of things recently, and he didn't have time to spare.

……

A few days ago, Blackbeard Marshall Ditch landed in the Drum Kingdom. His goal was very clear, which was Walpo's Tun Tun Fruit.

At this time, Blackbeard has found all the members who have been in contact with him before and want to join his pirate group.

Blackbeard didn't want to make such a big fuss, and he still had a bounty of 15 billion on his back. Although the exposure would not have much impact on his safety, but these new partners he found might suffer. The crew members don't have the strength like him now.

Using Lafitte's hypnotic ability to successfully infiltrate the palace, kill King Valpo directly, and then use the dark fruit's ability to capture the Tuntun fruit. Everything seems to be going smoothly, and Blackbeard feels that he has become more proficient in the role of the dark fruit.

The guards outside didn't even know their king was dead after all this.

In this way, Blackbeard left the palace with his crew.

It wasn't until we arrived at the port that we saw the Straw Hat Luffy's ship.

"Thief hahahaha, is he Ace's younger brother? I promised Ace to say hello! Let's go." Blackbeard called his crew to sense the aura of the strong man on the island with his knowledge, and then went straight to Luffy.

At this time, Nami's illness has recovered, and Chopper is equivalent to joining the Straw Hat Pirates.

Just when this funny trio was formally established, Blackbeard approached the door.

"Thief hahahaha, are you Straw Hat Luffy?" Black Beard asked, pointing at Luffy.

Luffy wondered how this person knew himself?Although looking at Blackbeard in disgust, he nodded.

"Thief ha ha ha ha, although I feel that you are annoying to me, but your brother Ace is my good brother. He asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, saying that he is waiting for you in the new world!" Blackbeard also felt that Luffy was very annoying, but in order to be able to accept the power left by the white beard father after his death, he resisted the urge to do it.

"Ace? Are you Ace's companion?" Luffy didn't think about why he hated the person in front of him so much when he heard Blackbeard mention Ace.

"Of course, we are all crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace is my good brother! He should have taken over my position now and became the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second team. This is what Ace asked me to bring to you." Blackbeard took out a few paintings that Ace asked him to bring to Luffy before he left.

These paintings were hung at home by Chu Si when he was in Windmill Village. They were paintings of some protagonists in the comics. At that time, Chu Si did not let them in that room. Before Ace went to sea, he not only visited his winery, but also visited here.
