Chapter 749: The Voice of Fear
"You want to use Haki? Does this mean you're breaking the agreement between us? Do you want to die now? Or...?"
Just when Crocodile was about to abandon his agreement with Wick and use his Haki on the Straw Hat Kid, a familiar voice came to his ears that almost scared him to death. It was the voice of the terrifying man who had made various agreements with him!
He will never forget that voice for the rest of his life. He tried his best at the beginning, but that man crushed him in every field. The pressure he put on him was even greater than that of Whitebeard. He was not much better than a dead dog at the time. After that, this man became his nightmare!
Fortunately, the man never came to see him again for many years after the agreement was made, which reduced the fear in his heart a lot. After that, he secretly planned about Alabasta and Pluto, and the other party did not find any clues and came to trouble him.
This made him bolder. He thought that the other party was no longer a navy and therefore didn't care much about the original agreement, so he no longer paid attention to what happened in Alabasta.
Since the other party doesn't care, then the other agreements don't matter. But just when he was about to use Haki to fight the Straw Hat Boy, the familiar voice that frightened him appeared again. Didn't he not care anymore?
Soon, Crocodile realized that the other party didn't care about the agreement, but didn't care about him. When the straw hat that the man cared about appeared, the agreement was still the same agreement. As long as he dared to cross the line, he would be left dead in the wilderness today!
He quickly remembered what Vic had said, that as long as he didn't use his domineering power, it would be fine even if he killed everyone wearing a straw hat!
Crocodile dodged the Straw Hat Boy's punch and withdrew from the battlefield. He looked around but did not see Vic. He didn't think he was hallucinating because the voices of the Straw Hat Boy and Vic appeared at the same time, so it couldn't be an auditory hallucination. However, he couldn't find where Vic was, which made him even more afraid of Vic.
Although he cannot use Haki, Crocodile still has a water-absorbing move. In the following battle, after he absorbed most of the water in Luffy's stomach, Water Luffy was finally defeated by him and was sucked dry by him and fell off the city wall.
Because he was afraid of Wick and wanted to get information about Pluto as soon as possible, Crocodile did not check the life or death of the Straw Hat Boy, but hurried to chase Nico Robin who had already left with Cobra.
Although Vic said that as long as he didn't use Haki, it wouldn't be considered a breach of agreement even if he killed the boy in the straw hat, but he didn't completely believe it. Since Vic cared about the other party so much, and now that the boy in the straw hat was killed by him, would Vic really not vent his anger on him?
Maybe the other party is currently too emotionally excited about the death of the Straw Hat Boy to pay attention to him, and will attack him when he comes to his senses, so it is better to leave here quickly. Vic is too scary, he needs Pluto!
Because of his fear of Vic and his desire for Pluto, Crocodile left immediately after sucking Luffy dry. So he didn't know that the water ball that was sprayed out by the Straw Hat Boy before he was sucked dry by him but was avoided by him fell down again and hit the mummy Luffy again.
Luffy came back to life with the help of the water ball. In order to save Weiwei's father, he was not afraid of Crocodile's terror and chased him resolutely. With Dashigi's guidance, he knew where Crocodile's destination was and soon entered the underground tomb of the Alabasta royal family.
Victor has been keeping an eye on Luffy. If the plot did not develop as in the original, he would take action. Fortunately, he spoke up at the critical moment, otherwise Luffy would definitely die under Crocodile's two-color domineering and natural abilities.
For Luffy at present, this is completely unsolvable. Victor also doesn't know how Luffy in the original work survived. Is there someone like him who is secretly influencing Crocodile? Or if he didn't appear, would Dragon still protect Luffy for a while?
Wick couldn't figure out that many things had changed, but fortunately, with his intervention, Crocodile became the non-domineering sand crocodile in the original work, and the plot did not deviate.
Seeing that Luffy came back to life with the help of the water ball, Victor no longer paid attention to him, but focused on the huge war in front of the square!
A war involving tens of thousands of people is still very tragic and shocking, even if they are all ordinary people, and these people don’t know what they are fighting for. Most of them are instigated and deceived. This war is really ridiculous and sad!
A bolt of lightning shot into the sky from Vic's palm, and the rain clouds around Alabasta Island seemed to have received an order and were rapidly gathering towards the entire Alabasta. The setting sun in the distance was also blocked by dark clouds, and the scorching temperature in Alba was slowly decreasing!
"The air pressure has changed! The weather is going to change!"
Nami, who was looking for the cannon, murmured to herself as she felt the change in the air. She knew what this meant. The war in Alabasta was ultimately a battle for rain.
Crocodile used dancing powder to attract rain clouds from other cities in Alabasta to the royal capital, Albana, and deliberately exposed the matter of the dancing powder so that King Kobrah would take the blame.
This incident made many people believe that it was King Cobra who took the rainwater from other cities in Alabasta to the capital Albana, making the people think that King Cobra only cared about the capital Albana and did not care about the lives of other cities at all.
Koubula couldn't do anything about this subjective matter, which was difficult to explain because rain only fell in Albania, while other places were only hit by sandstorms!
The continued dissatisfaction with the king gave rise to the rebel army, and as time went by, the rebel army grew stronger and stronger, so as long as there was enough rain, the war would stop. Don’t the dark clouds in the sky indicate that the war is about to end?
But the shells have not been found yet, the crisis still exists, and they must work harder.
"The rain clouds are gathering towards Alabasta. The speed at which they move is a little abnormal. Some people have the same idea as me! However, it seems that my preparations are unnecessary, Tina! Drive this ship away. Alabasta does not need dancing powder anymore!"
"What? You were the one who asked Tina to come, and you were the one who asked Tina to leave! What gives you the right to summon Tina and dismiss her at will?
Tina's military rank is higher than yours, and she doesn't want to leave yet! There are many pirates in this country, and she wants to stay and catch them!"
Smoker, who was on the coast of Alabasta, also saw the rain clouds gathering rapidly in the sky. He also understood what the country needed, so after Zoro rescued him from the crocodile pool, he gave up chasing Straw Hat Luffy.
Then he contacted Tina directly and asked her to send someone to help him find Crocodile's artificial rain-making ship. Now the ship was in place, and they were just waiting to burn the dancing powder to make artificial rain. Seeing the changes in the sky at this time, he knew that his preparations were a bit redundant. This made Smoker a little bored, so he wanted Tina to leave directly!
But Tina hasn't seen Smoker for a long time. This smoker has finally come to see her, so how could he leave so easily? Although Tina likes Smoker, after so many years, she has become more introverted. Even if she wants to stay with Smoker, she won't say it directly.
