One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

The sea breeze in the morning is pleasant and perfect for exercise.

The new members of the Bucky Pirates were inspired by their captain yesterday, and they all have endless energy at this moment.

They get up early and practice hard in the morning in order to be qualified to bear the name of [Joker] Bucky!

"Ha ha!"

"Drink!"

Some people are wielding knives, some are practicing boxing, some are practicing legs...

And that [Clown] Bucky was sitting on the bow of the ship, with his back to the crew.

The crew members all thought——

Captain Bucky must be doing so-called "meditation", right?He is indeed a master!

The actual situation is-

Bucky's eyelids drooped, his eyes slowly became bloodshot, and he felt sleepy.

why?

Then you have to ask this unlucky "directional pointer"!

Why is it that after sailing for so long, it is still heading in the same direction as the ship in front?

Please, I don’t want to go the same way with that terrible [Devil]. The World Government will definitely kill me!

Just as he was thinking this, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of Bucky's eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a "gravel" suspended in mid-air.

"Oh~~~!"

Bucky suddenly realized it and clapped his hands suddenly, "It's a sand crocodile."

Ode!

Crocodile flashed over, grabbed Bucky by the collar, and pushed him to a deserted place at the stern of the ship.

"..."

When the pirate boys saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

After a while, one person was the first to react and said loudly: "As expected of Captain Bucky, he is actually going to spar with the King Shichibukai so early in the morning!"

"I see."

"awesome……"

"..."

……

Are the pointers pointing in the same direction?

Crocodile threw Bucky aside and carefully observed the two hands.

Apart from the different styles, there is no difference at all in the direction of the hands!

He couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"how did this happen?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Lindsay crossed her arms and expressed the same confusion.

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "?!"

Turning around, I saw Lindsay flapping her wings, hovering next to the railing on the outside of the stern.

He stared at the two record hands with interest, which made Crocodile furious.

Turning his head, he transferred all his anger to [Joker].

"Hey, red nose!"

"Who do you think it is - just say it..."

Bucky really didn't want to have a conflict with the two "monsters" in front of him, so he could only swallow the broken teeth in his stomach.

Crocodile frowned and said, "Tell me clearly what you have to say. Don't leave anything out!"

"Yes Yes Yes Yes."

Bucky could only nod his head repeatedly and repeat the tragic past that had been told several times.

Crocodile listened to the analysis, but he couldn't figure out who was behind the scenes.

The abilities are too vague, and the acting style is not very representative.

"..."

"Hey, Red Nose."

Crocodile threw the record pointer back to Bucky and asked, "What is the destination of this pointer?"

Bucky's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"I do not know!"

"..."

"It's really useless!"

Crocodile held a cigar in his mouth and pulled Bucky's head over.

"You came to the Grand Line to save your loved ones without any preparation or plan? You are simply seeking death!"

Blowing out cigar smoke, he said disdainfully:

"Listen, 'pirates' are a business!"

……

The stern of the Bucky Pirates' ship became a "temporary meeting room" for several people.

Lindsay, Bucky, Crocodile.

But to be honest, only the last person is trying to use his brain.

As Crocodile said before, he is a person who must have "preparations" and "plans".

Although there is a huge variable like "primitive man", Crocodile can still accept everything at present.

Nico Robin has been found.

Next, we only need to bring her back to Alabasta to start deciphering the historical text.

Of course, Crocodile could tell that Nico Robin didn't trust her.

But it doesn't matter!

Crocodile glanced aside and secretly looked at Alvin Lindsay.

Nico Robin trusted the original.

Not only her, but also the [red-haired] daughters Uta and Gordon, and even the departed Fujitora and Jorian, are all friends with the primitive people.

As long as you make good use of this, you will have the opportunity to let Nico Robin decipher the historical text of Alabasta, and then find the whereabouts of "Hades"!

From beginning to end, Crocodile's purpose has not changed——

Find the [ancient weapon] Pluto, use its power to form a new "military nation", and finally create an "Utopia" that is not threatened by any force!

"Hehehehe..."

Crocodile puffed on his cigar and smiled gloomily.

Lindsay on the side blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

Crocodile said frankly: "I'm thinking about how to use you."

Lindsay grinned, "You admit it so generously?"

Crocodile asked, "Would you care?"

"will not."

"But you ask."

"Yes."

"Then why should I ask for trouble? Why don't I just admit it?"

"Too."

"..."

The two of them were talking to each other, leaving Bucky stunned for a moment.

One is a scheming careerist;

The other one is the obviously more terrifying [Devil], who doesn’t even care about the careerist’s face-to-face calculations!

His confidence in his own strength is enough to remain calm in the face of conspiracies and tricks, just like the very few "monsters" Bucky has ever seen.

Bucky: "..."

Please come and save me from this dangerous place!

……

Unfortunately, Bucky’s prayers seemed to be of no use.

The two ships continued sailing the same way for another three days.

They had prepared enough supplies in advance and had directional pointers, so there was no need to dock at all on the way.

In the early morning of the third day, Crocodile slowly woke up.

Looking at the two pointers beside him that were still pointing in the same direction, he couldn't help but frown.

Because today is the day we are expected to arrive in Alabasta!

"Is their destination really Alabasta?"

Crocodile looked gloomy, thinking about various possibilities.

Something must have happened in Alabasta!

He looked at [Clown] Bucky on the side and said to himself in a deep voice:

"I have to figure it out. I can't be the kind of idiot who doesn't know anything..."

"..."

Not long after, a message came from the phone bug in Lindsay's arms, which was sent by Gordon from the ship ahead.

"Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Crocodile, we see land!"

"?!"

Crocodile's spirit was shocked.

The nearby land must be Alabasta, and he urgently needs to know what happened there!

On the other side, Lindsay had already fluttered her wings and was looking at the sea from above.

But then, Crocodile suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Lindsay's face.

"Ok?"

He raised his head and asked loudly: "Primitive man, what did you see?"

"..."

Lindsay didn't answer directly.

But his expression gradually changed from one of shock at the beginning to one of excitement.

He sighed in a low voice: "Ha, the sea is really interesting!"

"Tsk!"

Crocodile felt unhappy, so he turned into a sandstorm and reached the height of the mast.

Bucky was also curious, so he split his neck and let his head float next to Crocodile.

The two of them looked at each other at the same time.

The next second, their expressions became stiff again.

I saw-

What appeared in front of everyone was not the familiar coastline of Alabasta, but a huge stretch of high earth and stone walls.

The height of nearly 30 meters is higher than two ordinary giants stacked together!

It is also several meters thick and cannot be built by manpower at all.

These high walls of earth and stone stretch for a long time, enclosing the entire Alabasta!

"This this……"

Bucky's eyes widened, he approached Crocodile, and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "I don't know..."

……

air.

Lindsay looked at the scene in the distance with the same confusion.

He was about to fly higher to see what was behind the weird "high wall".

But suddenly-

click!

There was a crisp cracking sound.

Lindsay rummaged around and took out the phone bug in her arms.

The wiring part of the phone bug suddenly started to smoke, and then exploded on the spot!

boom!
