[Listening to the cheers like a mountain torrent and tsunami from around him, Crocodile was very pleased~~~]

[He was just about to reap these people's heads, when suddenly...]

[Hmm???]

[In his peripheral vision, he suddenly noticed three figures~~~]

[Although those three figures didn't belong to this group of pirates, when he unleashed the small-scale sandstorm just now, these three people were also swept into his sandstorm at the time~~~]

[As far as Crocodile is concerned, he had already reminded them with "those who don't want to die, get on the ground." If someone still insists on courting death, then Crocodile wouldn't mind giving them a send-off~~~]

[Of course, Crocodile couldn't care less about whether other people lived or died...]

[What he cared about was... these three people actually survived his sandstorm completely unharmed!!!]

[Instantly, his motion of preparing to reap heads stopped, and he turned to look at these three people...]

[He asked with a scrutinizing expression, "Who are you people???"-]

[Before this, Crocodile hadn't paid any attention to these three people, so he didn't know how these three had survived the sandstorm~~~]

[But since these three people were able to survive the sandstorm, it means they have a certain degree of strength!!!]

[And Crocodile needs just such people...]

["Hey! Hello!! My name is Luffy!"]

[Seeing Crocodile greet them, Luffy responded very politely.]

[Through that scene just now, Luffy clearly saw that the civilians of this city all deeply respected this "Mr. Crocodile" before them. Obviously, the other party is a very good big pirate!]

[As for the other party's identity as a "Warlord of the Sea," Luffy didn't really care much...]

[He had learned from Buggy before... so-called Warlords of the Sea are pirates recognized by the Navy, and now they are requisitioned by the World Government...]

[Luffy would never judge a person's good or bad based on their "identity"; he only believes in the facts he sees!!]

[At least from what he had seen so far, Crocodile was indeed doing good deeds in this city~~~]

[Although the sandstorm just now had scraped them, this level of injury, for Luffy, couldn't even be considered a spring rain~~~]

[When the sandstorm hit just now, Luffy immediately stood in front of Nami and Chopper, shielding them~~]

[And Nami actually reacted in that instant too. Her small hands simultaneously touched Luffy and Chopper, activating the ability of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit~~~]

[As a result, when those sand particles touched the three of them, they instantly slid off, causing zero actual damage...]

["Luffy???" Crocodile quickly searched his memory for this name...]

[A moment later, he was certain that he had never heard this name before!!!]

["Are you ability users???"]

[Recalling that Luffy's group of three had survived his sandstorm unharmed just now, Crocodile asked curiously.]

["Yeah, you're an ability user too, right! A Logia-type, Sand-Sand Fruit ability user, right?"]

[Luffy now remembered the Devil Fruit encyclopedia quite clearly. A rare Logia Devil Fruit like this naturally left a deep impression on him~~~]

["Ah!! He...they...they are pirates!!!"]

[At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed!!!]

[The surrounding people immediately looked towards him~~~]

[This man was holding up a newspaper in his hand, exclaiming in alarm, "This is the latest newspaper I just bought today! The wanted posters on it were also just released a few days ago!!! Look, these three people, two of them are them!!"]

[Everyone looked...]

[The wanted poster on the front page headline!!!]

[Monkey D. Luffy: Bounty 50,000,000 Berries!]

[Roronoa Zoro: Bounty 50,000,000 Berries!]

[Nami: Bounty 50,000,000 Berries!]

[The crimes of these three are the same: they assassinated the king and crown prince of a World Government affiliated nation and are defined as extremely heinous pirates!!!]

[The surrounding civilians, seeing this scene~~~]

["Wow!!!!"]

["Aren't these two people two of the three on the wanted poster?"]

["To do such evil things and still dare to stroll around here with a pet, truly lawless!!!"]

["Hey!! --"]

[Luffy's arm stretched out, and with a swoosh, he snatched the newspaper from that person's hand~~~]

[Although the headshots of the three of them were drawn, it had to be said, they were drawn very well!!!]

["Looks like the artists in the Marines have pretty good skills~~"]

[As for their names, they were directly registered at the Marine base when they exchanged for their bounties...]

["So they are two cruel pirates..."]

["To actually appear on the streets so brazenly in broad daylight!! Don't they know that Sir Crocodile is covering this place???"]

["Appearing before Sir Crocodile, they're dead meat!!!"]

["Sir Crocodile!!! Will take care of them!!!"]

[...]

[Despite these two being heinous pirates, because Crocodile was here, the civilians of this oasis city didn't fear them in the slightest~~~]

[In their eyes, Crocodile is God!!!]

Smoker: "Such foolish civilians! To actually regard Crocodile as a hero! Truly beyond saving!"

Hina: "We can't entirely blame the civilians... It's mainly because Crocodile's superficial work is done too well, he has deceived everyone!!!"

Gecko Moria: "Kishishishishi, the good guys and bad guys from the previous Whitebeard surveillance, their identities are completely reversed now, aren't they!! This is too much fun!!"

Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fuffuffuffuffu, is this interesting? That sand crocodile over there is about to cry, right!! Fuffuffuffu..."

Boa Hancock: "That Luffy-kun over there is about to make him cry!"

[After Crocodile learned of Luffy and the other's "identities," his gaze towards Luffy instantly changed to that of a cat toying with a mouse...]

["After all this fuss, it turns out they're just two pirates who want to get close to me~~"]

["I can beat them up first, and then see if they can be of any use~~~"]

[Thinking of this, sand began to swirl around Crocodile's body!!!!]

["Wait!!"]

[Seeing Crocodile's domineering aura, Luffy immediately noticed that Crocodile was about to make a move. Luffy quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!!! Actually, we are not pirates, and we haven't done anything bad~~"]

[Luffy's first impression of Crocodile was still very good. He felt that this guy was a "pirate hero" willing to stand up for the civilians!!]

[Just like now, when the other party knew he and Nami were pirates, his enthusiasm from just now instantly vanished, and he was about to beat up him and Nami~~~]

[Luffy felt that Crocodile was doing nothing wrong!!]

[Of course, the fact that the other party was not wrong doesn't mean Luffy would just let himself be beaten!!!]

[He tried to reason with the other party to make him understand, lest they really start fighting later, which would make things difficult for the other party~~~]

[After all, the other party is a great hero in the hearts of the people here. If he loses face in front of everyone, that wouldn't be good...]

[However... facing Luffy's explanation... Crocodile sneered, "Heh heh!! If reasoning were useful, why would we Warlords of the Sea even be needed?"]

["If you have anything to say, go explain it to the God of Death in the afterlife!!"]

[Instantly, Crocodile's entire arm transformed into sand!!!]

["Desert Spada!!" --]

[He slashed out with his saber, and the sand shot out like an airwave!!]

[Heading straight for Luffy and Nami!!]

[Wherever it passed, the ground was completely split in half!!!]

[Luffy lifted Chopper with his body, his figure dodged to the side, casually evading this attack~~~]

[Nami also dodged to the side, simultaneously activating her Smooth-Smooth Fruit ability. The remaining bit of sand just scraped past her body completely, leaving not a speck of dust...]

[Hmm???]

[Seeing that his attack actually didn't cause any effective damage, Crocodile was very surprised!!!]

["Wait!! Listen to me, this is really a misunderstanding!!! The Wapol and his royal army we killed are the real pirates, it's just that the Marines didn't investigate clearly, so they mistakenly identified us as pirates."]

[Luffy explained again, neither hurriedly nor slowly.]

[But when the surrounding civilians heard this, they sneered and jeered~~~]

["Clearly, they are heinous pirates! Yet they still try to argue!! Do they take us all for fools? Do they take Sir Crocodile for a fool!?"]

["Facing the great Sir Crocodile, you cowards don't even dare to admit what you've done!!!"]

["Forget it!! If you did it, then admit it!!"]

["With our Alabasta's guardian deity, Sir Crocodile, here, even if you talk till the sky breaks, don't even think about being forgiven today!!"]

[...]

[Amidst the blind cheers of the surrounding crowd, Crocodile was also being elevated to a high pedestal~~~]

[In his plan, after completing the "Utopia Project," he wants to become the king of the Alabasta Kingdom!!!]

[So, in front of the people of the Alabasta Kingdom, he must project a positive image!!!]

[Since everyone unanimously wants to see him deal with these two pirates and their pet, then he couldn't be bothered whether they were real or fake~~~]

["Crescent Cutlass!!" --]

[Crocodile's arm continuously shot out violent sand, and he swung his fist!!]

[The moment his fist swung out, it instantly transformed into a crescent-shaped sand blade, covering the position where Luffy's group of three was!!!]

[Luffy held Chopper in one hand, and with the other, he hugged Nami's small waist. His legs propelled him, and with a backflip, he jumped out of the attack range of this Crescent Cutlass~~~]

[Although Nami's Smooth-Smooth Fruit ability has very strong defensive power, Luffy didn't know if Nami could completely withstand this kind of attack, so he simply jumped away with Nami...]

[In short...]

[When facing Croc--]

[From Crocodile's two attacks just now, Luffy could already confirm one thing!!]

[That is... as long as Chopper and Nami are in his hands, they are definitely one hundred percent safe!!!]

[When Nami saw herself being held by Luffy, her heart was instantly overjoyed~~~]

[Chopper, on the other hand, was so scared that snot was hanging from his nose...]

["Hey!! Although my first impression of you isn't bad, it doesn't mean I will tolerate this again and again!! If you still attack indiscriminately, don't blame me for not being polite to you!!!"]

[Luffy's brow twitched slightly~~~]

[Facing Luffy dodging his attacks twice, Crocodile's brow also furrowed!!!!]

[This kid is not easy to deal with...]

[...]

[But seeing him constantly protecting the woman and the pet, it's clear that this woman and pet are his weakness~~~]

[Thinking of this, Crocodile sneered, "If I compromise with pirates!!!! Then that would be a disgrace to justice!!!!"]

[...]

[...]

Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahaha!!! This kid... he's told so many lies, he even believes them himself, right?"

Gol D. Roger: "Don't say that, he's quite immersive... This is an actor's self-cultivation~~~"

Gecko Moria: "Kishishishishi!! A disgrace to justice... I don't even know how he has the nerve to say that~~~"

Donquixote Doflamingo: "You just don't understand!!! How can one achieve great things without a thick skin??? Fuffuffuffuffu...!!!!!"

Shiki: "Gyahahahaha!!! Well said...!!!"

[Crocodile activated his ability again. This time, his entire body turned into sand, and he lunged towards Luffy's group of three!!!]

[In the process of approaching Luffy, Crocodile suddenly spread his arms!!!!]

[And along with his spread arms came a sky full of dancing yellow sand!!!!]

[This yellow sand was incomparably heavy, yet it was filled with a sharp sensation!!!!]

[Like four butterfly wings, the yellow sand solidified into four incomparably massive sand sabers~~~]

[As Crocodile attacked again, Luffy's expression completely turned cold!!!]

["Wahh!!"]

[Seeing Crocodile's terrifying attack, Chopper was so scared he directly hugged Luffy's right thigh and sat right down on Luffy's right lap~~~]

[Nami, seeing this, her eyes lit up!!!]

["Wahh!!"]

[She also copied Chopper, putting on a scared expression, and directly hugged Luffy's left thigh, sitting right down on Luffy's left lap~~~]

[-_-||]

[Luffy was speechless~~~]

[Even Crocodile on the opposite side couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this scene~~~]

[These two pig teammates... those who don't know better would think they were spies I sent over~~~]

["Desert Vajra Spada!!"]

[Crocodile let out a cold shout, and the four sand sabers fiercely contracted around Luffy's body....!!!!]

[BOOM!! --]

[The sand sabers intersected and cut each other, transforming into incomparably heavy sand that fell!!!!]

[The sand dust settled, Crocodile was slightly stunned!!!]

[Huh? Where are the people???]

[The three people he thought would surely be dealt with by this one attack had, at this moment, suddenly disappeared!!!]

[But just at this moment, Luffy's voice came from above: "Hey! Are you looking for us?"]

[Nani???]

[Crocodile's heart skipped a beat. When did this guy disappear from right in front of my eyes???]

[Instantly, he raised his head and saw Luffy descending from the sky at this moment, his right foot stomping directly down on him!!!!]

["Heh heh~~"]

[Although his attack was dodged by Luffy, Crocodile wasn't flustered at all!!!!]

[Facing this attack from Luffy, he even felt a little like laughing...]

["Foolish fellow!!!! This kind of attack has no effect on me~~~"]

[A disdainful smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Crocodile chuckled lightly!!!!]
