Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

In fact, in the entire Four Seas Alliance, except for Ryan Rowan himself who used a messenger to fight [Drought] Jack, everyone else has never had contact with the Beast Pirates.

Most of them don't even understand why the Four Seas Alliance broke out into conflict with the Beast Pirates!

After all, that is a matter at the level of the underground world. Ordinary people above this sea cannot easily access this aspect of things.

Therefore, many people have no idea why the Beast Pirates suddenly launched an attack on Alabasta.

Apart from Ryan Rowan himself, Crocodile may be the only one who can figure this out.

As a careerist, [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile can certainly understand [Hundred Beasts] Kaido.

The industrial chain of the underground world was almost completed, but the most critical link was destroyed by a sudden force. How could you not be angry?

Crocodile thought so.

Well, fortunately, my "Baroque Work Society" plan has not been launched, and it even only exists in my own mind.

Just imagine, if Ryan Rowan suddenly appeared in front of him after the Baroque Work Club plan was fully launched, then he would probably be so angry that he would go crazy.

"The plan was destroyed in the budding stage" and "the plan was destroyed just before the end" are two completely different feelings.

…

Then again, what's the situation now?

Oh, the Yonko is coming to attack Alabasta.

Um……

Crocodile sighed softly after walking out of Rowan's study.

While sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he walked out of Alabasta's palace.

Immediately, he jumped up and turned into a sandstorm, sweeping into the desert outside Albana City.

Crocodile stood on the sand, feeling the gravel around him. It was a sense of security that could only be felt when fighting at home in the desert.

"It's really good..."

Crocodile sighed.

Under the reflection of the sun, others could not clearly see Crocodile's expression, let alone the emotions he was filled with at the moment.

What kind of emotion is that?

dissatisfied? Irritated? accurate?

No.

If anyone could really see Crocodile's expression at this moment, he would definitely be so shocked that he would step back.

Because it was an excited and twisted smile.

"Fighting directly against the Four Emperors? What did that old guy think?"

"Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that old guy directly confronts the World Government, but why should he start a war with the Four Emperors?"

"If he wanted to, there should be several ways to avoid fighting. Why did it have to be like this?"

This is not a casual complaint, but a soliloquy analysis.

"No, no, no, no..."

"That old thing must have another purpose."

"That tree?"

Crocodile recalled what everyone discovered on the empty island.

According to the records in the Sea Tower Stone Chamber of Sky Island, somewhere on this sea, there is this "tree" that threatens the survival of the entire world.

That tree spreads its roots deep into the entire world, absorbing the vitality of the world, and then grows a devil fruit, provoking disputes in the world, and further prompting war to break out among the lives in this world.

The passage of life means more nutrients flow into the tree.

Eventually, some extremely uncontrollable consequences will occur!

…

Crocodile didn't care about this.

He is a very practical person and never cares about what may happen in the future.

As Vinsmoke Gaji said, someone had discovered the existence of that tree eight hundred years ago - or even earlier.

At that time, people were trying to solve the hidden dangers caused by that tree, but ultimately failed.

But more than eight hundred years have passed, and that tree still has not caused any substantial damage to the world.

The lifespan of a human being is usually no more than a hundred years. Even the lifespan of the giant race is only more than three times that of humans.

For this world, a single living individual is too small.

Dreams, ambitions, life, friends, blood...

Life is dying from the moment it is born.

On the way to death, there are too many things to pursue.

Therefore, not many people will use their precious and limited lives to challenge the eternal "tree" like the "world".

…

But on the other hand.

Crocodile was almost certain that Llane Rowan cared deeply about that tree.

As the old guy himself said:

“Riding the wind and waves is especially fascinating.”

Fascinated?

Let him be fascinated by it!

Crocodile only cares about the era in which he stands!

Therefore, when Rowan judged that the Beast Pirates would launch an attack on the Four Seas Alliance, Crocodile felt extremely excited in his heart.

He covered his mouth and smiled happily secretly.

"The storm is coming!"

"Hehehehe..."

Accompanied by bursts of low laughter, Crocodile standing in the desert turned into a sandstorm and then disappeared without a trace.

In this battle, Rowan did not order Crocodile to do anything, because even if he ordered it, it would be useless.

For Crocodile, if this war means nothing to him, it is impossible for him to act. On the contrary, if it does, Crocodile will have his own way of action even if Rowan doesn't say anything.

What's more, this is a desert country.

——The home ground of those with rustling fruit abilities!

…

Port city, rape flowers.

This was originally a prosperous commercial port, but due to active evacuation operations, it became slightly desolate.

Stationed here is the King's Army of the Drum Island, headed by Dalton, the current king of the Drum Kingdom, the animal type, the Cow Fruit, and the buffalo form!

They were invited to help Alabasta defend itself against the enemies of the Four Seas Alliance - the Beast Pirates.

As a king, Dalton certainly knew how terrifying the Yonko Pirates were, but neither he nor the King's Army of Drum Island around him had the slightest idea of ​​backing down.

Whether it is the Drum Kingdom or Alabasta, they are both members of the Four Seas Alliance after all.

To the Drum Kingdom, the invasion of Alabasta is no different from the invasion of its own land.

If the Drum Kingdom were to suffer the consequences like this, Alabasta would definitely do its best to support it.

…

"Be careful, our opponent is the Four Emperors!"

Dalton shouted loudly: "Pay attention to the movement on the sea. If there is anything abnormal, report it immediately!"

…

At the same time, a lookout from the Drum Kingdom was a little tired and was about to change guard with his companions. He suddenly raised his head inadvertently and noticed something strange through the telescope.

Why is there a little black spot in the sky?

The lookout blinked and looked up carefully.

A few seconds later, the lookout's expression suddenly changed, he hurriedly rang the alarm bell, and at the same time shouted to the people next to him:

"island!"

"Flying!"

"There is an island flying towards us in the sky!"
