Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

Chapter 373 Devastated

"Thorn-"

A subtle but extremely clear sound of electric current rang in my ears. The dense electric current was controlled with extremely delicate power, forming a web that no one could escape from.

As the words in the air gradually faded, the space that had been briefly stagnant finally began to flow again.

However, even so, no one dared to act rashly, because a pure white figure had appeared in everyone's sight at some point.

The tail swung gently, the lightning flashed sharp, and the skylight that was obscured by the sand and dust seemed to fall into the palace again.

After a brief moment of trance and confusion, when the dust cleared and everyone looked closely at the appearance of the person in front of them, they all stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Anyone familiar with the influential figures of the sea would be familiar with the man before them, not to mention his face, which was unrivaled in the ocean—how could that great pirate from the New World have ended up here?!

"Tat-tat--"

The crisp footsteps still echoed, as if no one was around. Passing by Crocodile's stiff figure, Yakumo Bai lightly came to Vivi, who was still in a daze.

He leaned forward and squatted, waving his hand to disperse the dust that bound the other person, as if to soothe a frightened little animal. Yakumo Bai gently stroked the girl's long blue hair, his eyes revealing tenderness, but also concealing an unfathomable depth.

"You are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after all, but after your defeat by Whitebeard, have you fallen to this level, Crocodile?

If I didn't know exactly what kind of monster Barrett, your contemporary, was, I would probably think you were a newcomer who appeared out of nowhere?

Oh, this boring farce, it's time to end, right?"

Lightning flashed, and the next second, as Weiwei's eyes gradually brightened, the two disappeared from their original position and appeared beside King Cobra.

At the same time, the blinding lightning spread rapidly across the entire island, like a dragon or snake, with the palace as its center.

The terrifying celestial phenomenon that only appeared in the New World reappeared on this wind-swept island. While dispersing the raging sandstorm, it also carried with it an endless supply of heat and water vapor that rose violently.

Soon, thick dark clouds covered the sky again, and heavy rain fell under the gazes of countless people, either in disbelief or ecstasy.

The noisy victims soon quieted down, but soon fell into an immense carnival. The remaining soldiers, who had already begun to despair, dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground devoutly, thanking the gods for not abandoning the land they loved so much.

Is it a manifestation of a miracle or a miracle of human power?

Even if this is what I saw with my own eyes, it is still shocking and speechless.

But no matter what, with the sudden appearance of Yakumo Shiro, Cobra knew very well in his heart that this was no longer a situation he could control. Of course, it was also not a situation that Crocodile could control.

"You...you, why are you here?

——Could it be that you are also eyeing the ancient weapons hidden in this country? !”

Complex thoughts flowed through his mind, and in just a short moment, Crocodile had thought of all the possibilities he could imagine.

Yakumo Haku, Whitebeard's gravedigger, buried his own "target" with his own hands... If the reason why he appeared here was not to target him intentionally, then it could only be for the ancient weapons!

Given the Beasts Pirates' intelligence network, it's not surprising that they found Alabasta, but it's definitely not good news for Crocodile.

"Ancient weapons? Isn't it easy to get something like that? Why would you go through all this trouble?"

Not paying attention to the gloomy expression on the sand crocodile's face, Yakumo Shiro focused on soothing the blue "kitten" beside him while speaking.

Vivi, Lily... What role will Princess Nefert play in the future eight hundred years from now? I'm really curious~

"Tsk! Any means that can achieve the goal are effective means. You are not so naive as to think that I will exchange with Alabasta on an equal basis, right?"

Trying his best to suppress his inner turmoil, Crocodile said in a steady tone,

“No matter what your purpose is, why you are here...but Kyuubi brat, the ancient weapon is my target, I advise you to mind your own business!

You deliberately hid your whereabouts and came to the first half of the Grand Line. I guess you don't want to expose yourself to the World Government, right?"

Crocodile relied on the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to communicate directly with the top leaders of the World Government. Even though he was trampling on the bottom line of the World Government, he still threatened like this, because he knew that compared with the crimes he had committed, Yakumo Shiro's priority was undoubtedly higher!

"Oh? Interesting threat, do you think you'll ever get a chance to report to those guys?

Or do you believe more in the navy's ability to suppress me than in your own strength?"

Hearing this, Yakumo Shiro finally shifted his gaze from the kitten beside him and looked at the pathetic "loser" in front of him, with no disguising the contempt in his tone.

"...Stop looking down on me, you bastard! When I was venturing out into the sea, you weren't even born yet!"

The dust rose again because of anger, and the golden hook was covered with a layer of extraordinary domineering. It had not been long since Crocodile was defeated by Whitebeard. At least now, Crocodile still had the ability to arm himself.

"Sure enough, the man who once shared Barrett's talents is no fool after all...

But unfortunately, when faced with failure, the two chose completely different paths. One placed his hopes on a weapon that could kill, while the other forged himself into the strongest weapon!

Seeing this, Yakumo Bai nodded slightly. Seeing the other party finally reveal his domineering attitude finally satisfied his curiosity.

So, would a supernova who was once so glorious really fall to the point of being defeated by a fledgling new pirate?

Human wishes are truly a magical power, but it is precisely because of this that Yakumo Shiro wants to witness with his own eyes what kind of unfathomable future this "freest soul in this ocean" will have.

"Let me correct you, you are not the protagonist of this trip. Please don't mistake your identity."

The crescent-shaped sand sickle cut through the air and hit Yakumo Haku's body without any hindrance. However, just as Crocodile was secretly disdainful, he saw the figure in front of him suddenly transformed into black shadows and mist, sweeping towards him like an abyss.

With his fighting spirit still alive, Crocodile followed his inner instincts and retreated repeatedly, knowing that being contaminated by this strange black fog would be extremely disastrous.

But just as he was on guard against the next round of attacks, an ordinary hand broke through the layers of sand and mist, and with a dreamy touch, it touched the opponent's body in an unstoppable manner.

“Pah--”

A flash of light passed by, and a "majestic" crocodile clockwork fell to the spot. Although the touch was only a moment, it could pull the conscious soul into the boundless deep sea.

Obviously, this was not a fair fight, but unfortunately, no one could realize this except Yakumo Shiro and Robin who was watching from the sidelines.

"Okay, now that the problem is solved, let's talk about the reward, shall we? King Cobra?"
