Captain of My Wronged Seed of Pirates

When traveling in the desert, the best mount is indeed a camel.

However, there is also a special species of running duck in Alabasta. Although it is not as endurance as the camel, also known as the "Ship of the Desert", it is surprisingly fast in terms of speed.

"Yo hoo—"

Riding on the back of the bright yellow running duck, Sen Luo let out a joyful shout.

Crocodile, who was behind him, was speechless for a moment because he was almost half a prisoner and had no self.

Crocodile had some suspicions that the person he let go was actually Senluo disguised as Ace, and the Senluo who stayed behind was actually Ace pretending to be Ace.

This time they were going to Albana, the capital of Alabasta, and Crocodile was invited by the royal family to receive an honorary nobility award.

Originally, because of Crocodile's feat of eradicating pirates around Alabasta, the invitation letter from the royal family had already been sent.In order to be able to easily draw a line with him when he framed the royal family in the future, he had no intention of accepting the invitation at first.

Now he chooses to accept the royal honors all because of Sen Luo's instigation. He told Crocodile that this is what he wants - with the backing of the Alabasta royal family, he joined Crocodile in the capital Albana. ceremony.

With an attitude of being skeptical and wanting to see what other tricks Sen Luo could do, Crocodile agreed to his request, and the two left the rainy land that was still under construction and set out for Albana.

As for Robin and the other two, they were asked by Crocodile to stay in the rainy area and not move around at will.

Crocodile no longer trusts these three people, or has never trusted them.

In order to prevent Sen Luo from using those three people against him, Crocodile decided not to give them a chance to collude with each other before the ceremony requested by Sen Luo was completed.

So this operation was only done by him and Sen Luo.

Senluo made him worry-free along the way, and he didn't make any move to escape except occasionally looking around like a primary school student on a spring outing.

But the more Sen Luo did not cause trouble, the more Crocodile worried about whether he would make a big mistake for himself.

Unlike his attitude of not worrying about what Sen Luo would do when he made up his mind, Crocodile's worries gradually began to increase after Sen Luo gained his freedom.

This is often the case. I feel confident when making a decision because it only takes a moment, but after the decision is made, I spend most of the time regretting or doubting the decision.

Seeing Sen Luo's comfortable look, Crocodile had the illusion that he was the unlucky guy who fell into the enemy's hands involuntarily.

And what puzzled him the most was why Sen Luo could be recognized by the Running Duck, but he could only ride a camel, and this camel gave him a weird feeling.

Crocodile finally caught up with Senluo when he was feeding the running duck coconut juice.

Crocodile, who was riding on the back of a camel, asked Sen Luo condescendingly: "Where did you know those things?"

"Do you believe me when I say I saw it in a comic?"

Senluo responded with a smile,

"Why should we care about the source of the information? As long as it's useful, that's all."

"Whether it's useful or not is hard to say."

Crocodile stared at Sen Luo with a fierce look on his face,

"If you finally let me know that you are lying to me, you will be lucky enough to understand that there are things more terrible than death in this world."

"Don't worry, my information is flawless and absolutely true."

Suddenly, Sen Luo rolled his eyes and said with a brighter smile on his face,

"Would you like me to give you a shocking secret for free?"

His smile gave Crocodile a bad premonition, but in the end, with the idea that he would not listen in vain, Crocodile nodded.

"Did you know that there is a Void Throne in Pangu City that no one can sit on, symbolizing equality among the participating countries?"

"What did you say this for?"

Crocodile is not interested in the false equality between the franchised countries, because he understands that no matter how equal those franchised countries are to each other, they are just incompetent people kneeling at the feet of the Tianlong people.

"You really don't know anything."

Sen Luo smiled gently and shook his head like a kindergarten teacher who patiently teaches children, and said,

"The throne of the void is actually always occupied by someone, and the person sitting on the throne has to kneel down and worship even if he is the Five Old Stars."

For some reason, after hearing such absurd words coming from Sen Luo's mouth, Crocodile didn't think it was nonsense at first, but felt like "that's it".

At the same time, he was not too shocked by the fact that the throne had an owner, because he never thought that an unoccupied throne could represent equality.Unless the world government is willing to kill all the Celestial Dragons and place their heads in front of the throne, then the so-called "equality" is somewhat convincing.

"Interesting news."

Crocodile smiled and controlled the camel under his crotch to move forward.

"When I get the two ancient weapons, I'll sit on that throne and watch."

"Then I wish your dream will come true soon."

Throwing the empty coconut shell aside, Senluo patted the running duck on the head, then climbed on the duck's back and followed Crocodile's camel.

The day after setting off from the Rain Land, Senro and Crocodile arrived at Albana.

When seeing this kind of city standing on the desert in the distance, Sen Luo marveled at the greatness of the people of Alabasta and regretted that such a miraculous city would disappear in a few days.

Of course, it is also possible that Sen Luo himself will disappear from this world.

"You seem to be thinking about something dangerous."

Crocodile noticed that Senro looked at Albana for a little too long.

"When did Mr. Crocodile learn to read minds?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Senluo looked at Crocodile calmly and said half-jokingly,

"I've heard that some people who have mastered the Haki of Knowledge and Knowledge to the extreme can predict the future. Could it be that Mr. Crocodile, you have also cultivated the Haki of Knowledge and Color to the extreme, but your special ability is mind-reading?"

Crocodile ignored Sen Luo and rode his camel straight towards Albana.

"Speaking of it, if there are two people with outstanding knowledge and domineering, one can predict the future and the other can read people's hearts, what will happen if they fight?"

Sen Luo caught up with Crocodile and asked tirelessly behind him,

"The person who predicts the future first predicts the other person's actions, and the person who reads the mind also reads that the other person predicts his own actions; then the person who predicts the future predicts the future of the other person's actions, and he reads the mind. The person who predicted the future also read that the other person predicted the future of his own actions; then the person who predicted the future also had two... In this case, how can the two people decide the winner?"

Before Crocodile could give an answer or couldn't help but beat up Senluo, the two arrived at the gate of Albana.

"It's Lord Crocodile!"

The guards at the city gate immediately recognized Crocodile riding on the camel and shouted excitedly.

"Mr. Crocodile, you are quite famous."

Although he already knew that Crocodile should be very popular in Alabasta, he was still a little surprised when he saw the guard at the city gate showing a slightly fanatical expression. It could even be said to be a surprise.

"You must have put in a lot of effort, right?"

Senluopi smiled but looked at Crocodile with a pointed look.

He knew very well that if he wanted to become a big star that everyone admired, it was not enough to just clean up the pirates. At least, it was not enough to just work hard to clean up the pirates.

There must be enough publicity to make this great achievement known.

Moreover, publicity is not limited to the level of being published in newspapers. It needs publicity that is more close to the people and more popular.

For example, a survivor who was rescued by Crocodile from the pirates told a vivid story, or professions such as bards and storytellers told people about the heroic deeds of pirate heroes after dinner.

Of course, if these are not enough, you can first find someone to spread negative news about Crocodile on a small scale, and then find someone to refute the rumors on a large scale and educate the uninformed about what a great hero Crocodile is. .

Originally, Senluo thought that the current Baroque Studio was just an organization without full branches, but judging from Crocodile's popularity in Alabasta, this was not entirely the case. It might just be that there was a lack of combatants and intelligence staff. It may be more complete than imagined.

However, Senluo's plan did not intend to go against Crocodile's intelligence organization, and even if Crocodile knew his arrangement through intelligence personnel, as long as the key to it was not known, it would be impossible for Crocodile to know about him. What exactly do you want to do.

The news that the hero Crocodile arrived in his loyal Albana soon spread like wildfire. Unlike Senluo and Crocodile, they were surrounded by fanatical crowds soon after entering the city.

The young man whose eyes are full of longing and admiration; the passionate girl who screams with dreams; the old man who is faltering but still wants to express his gratitude to the benefactor of this country.

Crocodile's popularity was fully revealed at this moment.

While enjoying the admiration of the people around him, Crocodile glanced at Sen Luo, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, as if to say that the whole city belongs to me, what are you going to fight with me for?

One of Crocodile's guesses about Sen Luo's troublemaking direction is to make his true purpose known to the public and use the power of the country Alabasta to fight against him. When Sen Luo urged to come to Albana, this guess was The possibility in his mind was much higher.

But maybe if this news is known to the outside world, Crocodile may be worried about the naval encirclement and suppression, but in Alabasta, there is no need to worry about this problem at all. Here, if he wants to have any news blocked, then absolutely It can't be spread.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the Neferutari family had been extremely popular in all generations and could not be overthrown by some unsubstantiated rumors, Crocodile would have been on the throne long ago.

However, Senluo did not have the popularity that the Neferutari family had accumulated over the years, so he could not stir up any trouble here.

It was impossible to sneak away or find help.

However, when Crocodile showed a contemptuous smile to Sen Luo, Sen Luo also responded with a gentle smile, without any intention of wavering.

This made the smile on Crocodile's face solidify, because judging from Sen Luo's reaction, he didn't seem to care about Crocodile's terrifying popularity in the city of Albana.

So if Sen Luo really has no intention of causing trouble, it means that "humanity", one of the three major elements for him, is not taken seriously by him at all.

If the weak don't want to hug each other for warmth, how can they defeat themselves?

Crocodile was lost in thought.

"Shouldn't it be!"

Suddenly, Crocodile thought of a possibility, which made him shout out uncontrollably.

This did not sound like a normal response, and the crowd surrounding Crocodile was startled.

"Lord Crocodile?"

Many doubtful looks were cast at Crocodile.

"It's okay, I just lost my temper."

A slightly stiff and gentle smile appeared on Crocodile's ferocious face.

"Please step aside, Lord Crocodile will go to see His Majesty Kobra next."

A strong male voice came from the end of the crowd, and the crowd immediately made way for a passage. Ikarem, who had met Sen Luo once at Rapeseed Flower Port, led a small group of palace guards through that passage to Sen Luo. In front of Crocodile.

He first looked at Crocodile and said, "Please follow me. His Majesty Kobra has been waiting for you for a long time."

Then he also noticed Sen Luo's presence, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Isn't this the benefactor of His Highness Weiwei? I didn't expect you to come with Lord Crocodile."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Sen Luo smiled awkwardly but politely and replied,

"Now that I have become a subordinate of Lord Crocodile, please take good care of me."

Crocodile felt a little uncomfortable when Icarem recognized Sen Luo. He did not expect that Sen Luo would have such a relationship with the Neferutari family.

His intelligence control is only limited to ordinary civilians, and it is not very effective for the royal family.

King Kobra was a good man, but he was not a fool either. His attitude towards Crocodile was never as unconditional trust as others.

If Crocodile hadn't been a member of the Shichibukai and could be considered a member of the World Government, Kobra would have been extremely wary of him.

In fact, the conferment of honorary nobles also included Kobra's purpose of seeing Crocodile with his own eyes.

Originally, Crocodile felt that even if Kobra did not completely believe in him, he would not be able to trust Sen Luo, whose origin was unknown, but now he was told that Sen Luo had saved the princess.

Coupled with the suspicion just now, I don't know whether it should be regarded as a surprise or a fright, it made Crocodile feel a little irritable.
