Chapter 184 Crocodile appears!
at this time,

The sea fish that ate the smoke fruit had its body transformed into smoke, floating in the air two meters above the sea surface.

Although without wisdom,

But relying on its biological instinct, it felt the repulsive force of the ocean.

"Everyone, get out of here!"

The pirate captain shouted loudly.

Not only the Navy Headquarters, but everyone else witnessed the shocking scene.

The sea fish that ate the smoke fruit is a natural ability user. If it can be caught and trained well, it will definitely be a top combat force.

Especially for animals that don't have the ability to think too much.

Just like the Arlong Pirates were able to dominate the East China Sea, part of the reason was because there was a terrifying sea monster that obeyed their orders and would never disobey them.

This smoke fruit sea fish is more precious and powerful than that sea beast!

It's not surprising that it can cause controversy.

"Hahahaha, the Smoky Sea Fish is mine!"

A pirate captain chopped down the other competitors, cast out his fishing net, and accurately caught the fleeing smoke fish.

boom.

The Smoke Sea Fish turned into smoke and escaped from the fishing net.

The pirate captain was stunned.

"Hehe, what an idiot! A natural fruit user needs seastone to be captured. You are indeed the weakest Donghai. Don't you even understand this simple knowledge?"

The pirates from the Grand Line sneered.

I feel a little depressed inside.
They were all pirates who ran to the East China Sea to steal the Trial Tower and treasures after seeing the Den Den Mushi broadcast.

However, the distance from the Grand Line to the East China Sea is not short. Even if one rushes there at full speed, most of the contract fruits have already been divided up by the native pirates of the East China Sea.

Pirates from the Grand Line like them should have been a terrifying existence that was superior to the weakest East Sea.
But they encountered these pirates with all kinds of strange abilities, and after a fight, they found that they were no match at all.

It's so frustrating.

"Apply the seastone powder to the fishing net and catch the smoke fish."

"clear."

There is no skull and crossbones flag, but a sailing ship with a special logo.

A figure holding a light yellow umbrella suddenly floated up, as if losing gravity, holding a fishing net coated with sea stone powder in his hand, and swayed towards the smoky sea fish.

It is said to be sea stone powder.

In fact, it is some sand and debris that are slightly contaminated by ocean energy that are dug out near the sea floor stone.

Compared to expensive seastone, this powder is much cheaper.

"Ms. Valentine, although you are an irrational sea fish, you are the user of the Smoke Fruit. Don't be careless."

Miss., a member of Baroque Studio with a purple afro and an incredibly good figure, pointed with both hands and reminded.

"It's just a sea fish..."

The pretty Michita said arrogantly, having already activated her fruit ability.
Five thousand kilograms of pressure.

The slender body seemed like a thousand-pound boulder, grabbing the fishing net and falling rapidly, covering the smoky sea fish.

The sea fish covered in smoke sensed the danger and the smoke suddenly became thicker, condensing into a grayish-white fish mouth, which swallowed the rapidly falling Mickey Tower in one gulp.

"Help!"

Micita, who was surrounded by smoke, asked Pola for help in panic.

"I told you not to be careless."

Pola, the user of the Thorn Fruit ability, leaped high into the air. Large expanses of white rose and fell with the intense movement. Sharp thorns suddenly protruded out and pierced into the body of the Smoke Sea Fish.

But it was of no use, and she was entangled and unable to move.

"You must be kidding. How can a sea fish be so strong?"

Some pirates who were ready to make a move showed fear upon seeing this.

They had all heard of the notoriety of Baroque Works, a famous assassin organization roaming the waters near the Kingdom of Alabasta.

These two seductive women, who are also chief commanders with code names, are the core cadres of the Baroque Works.

They saw with their own eyes how Pola and Michita destroyed a pirate ship from the East China Sea effortlessly. Their strength was beyond doubt.

He was actually trapped by a smoky sea fish.

"This is the power of the user of the Nature Fruit. Even if they have just eaten the fruit and have not encountered Armament Haki and Seastone, they can still travel the first half of the Grand Line!"

A low and hoarse voice sounded.

The golden sand roared, creating a huge sandstorm on the sea, and gradually condensed into a tall figure.

There was a golden hook inlaid on his left wrist, he was wearing a dark green fur cloak, holding a cigar in his mouth, and a scar that cut across his face made him look extremely fierce.

With a wave of his right hand,
The golden sandstorm controlled by him hit the smoky sea fish, knocking down the two Baroque killers who were entangled in it.

"Even though it's the Smoke Fruit, you two are equally weak and it makes me laugh. You're really embarrassing me!"

Pola and Michita were caught in the sand flow, their throats strangled, and even breathing became a luxury.

These senior officials are also unaware of the true identity of Baroque's boss.

but,

When the Trial Tower appeared, they received an order from their boss to go to the East China Sea and said that they would contact the boss.

Combined with the words of this person who suddenly appeared, he is the behind-the-scenes boss of Baroque Works.

"He is... Shichibukai!"

Some pirates and navy officers recognized the man's identity and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

A Shichibukai who rules the waters of Alabasta and has the legal right to plunder, and a hero of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Crocodile!
"Boss... spare us..."

"You are all my subordinates, how could I kill you?"

Crocodile smiled kindly, loosened his hands, and let the two of them collapse on the deck of the ship.

The heroic image that Yudi displayed was exactly the same as in the city of Alabasta.

But only the trembling Bola and Michita knew that

Crocodile just now really wanted to kill both of them, he was not joking.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Crocodile's smile remained unchanged. Under the broadcast of Den Den Mushi, he had to maintain the image of a hero of Alabasta.

Otherwise, he would have really sucked the two of them dry.

In his world, useless trash has no value in continuing to live, and the senior executives of Baroque Works are nothing more than convenient tools.

If the tool doesn't do what it's supposed to do, it needs to be scrapped and replaced with a new batch of tools.

boom.

The sandstorm suddenly grew larger and the sand danced wildly.

Crocodile turned into a sand flow to block the smoke sea fish that wanted to escape. The sand flows rolled and formed an airtight cage that completely enveloped the smoke.

"Take out the seastone chains from the ship!"

The two men got up with lingering fear and quickly pulled out the seastone chain in the cabin.

The sand flow rolled, and Crocodile's figure emerged at the front, about to fall on the deck.

At this time,

A dark stream of light hit the sand flow and punched Crocodile, who was still in elemental form.

thump.

Crocodile's body solidified and he slammed heavily onto the deck, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but you can't get this smoke fish, Mr. Shichibukai."

The thin figure fell back onto the navy ship, his right arm covered with Armament Haki, tightly grasping the struggling smoke fish, glancing at Crocodile and saying, "My fist is far inferior to Garp's. I just want to get the smoke fish. I have no intention of becoming an enemy of Mr. Shichibukai. Please forgive me."

The smoke fish was entangled in the seastone chain and thrown into the fish tank.

Crocodile got up, and after seeing who was coming, he smiled, his eyes full of fear, and said, "Of course it's okay, but I didn't expect that Vice Admiral Tsuru would come to the East China Sea. I'm really surprised."

Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Arrived in the East China Sea on a top-level warship and collided with the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile!
