One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 333 The greeter is Sand Crocodile

Sand Crocodile, or Sand Crocodile.

Powerful and ambitious, he can be said to be an excellent representative of the maritime heroes in the great pirate era.

In order to realize his long-cherished wish to become the "Pirate King", Sand Crocodile did not hesitate to go against his own nature and "bear the humiliation" and stationed in Alabasta. He has been eradicating pirates for this country for more than ten years, just to one day subvert this large desert country. And got clues related to the legendary ancient weapon "Hades". Then with the help of Pluto's extraordinary power that can destroy an island with a single shot, he jumped to the throne of the Pirate King.

As a result, he ended up being tragic. Not only did he fail to find Hades, he was even defeated by Luffy, a fledgling pirate from the East China Sea, and imprisoned in the Impel Down City.

To be honest, Profik felt that this plan was not reliable at all. Even if it is to control Alabasta and use it as a base to fight against the World Government, the hope of success is much more reliable than trying to find ancient weapons here and rely on them to become the "Pirate King".

As for the so-called ancient weapon "Pluto", Profik was even more doubtful. Not to mention how powerful this guy is and whether it still exists now, even if it is really as evil as the legend says, it will probably be in decay after eight hundred years. It’s hard to say whether his true role can be compared to that of Rayleigh, the “Pluto”.

Not to mention that Pluto is not in Alabasta at all, but in Wano, thousands of miles away. It can be said that Sand Crocodile's wishful thinking went wrong from the very beginning.

But an unreliable plan does not mean that the executor is incompetent. Every step Crocodile did was "excellent". He successfully packaged himself from a pirate that everyone yelled at to a hero in Alabasta, and gained a reputation among the people who could compete with King Kobra. A comparable reputation.

In the dark, Crocodile was recruiting troops. Not only did he set up the Baroque Working Society, he even took sensitive people like Robin under his wing. What's even more amazing is that as the leader of this organization, except for Robin, no other members of the organization know that Crocodile is their boss.

While maintaining his status as a "national hero" on the surface, Crocodile was secretly executing his own plans. He used dancing powder to plunge the entire country into drought, and blamed the use of dancing powder on King Kobra, turning the latter from a well-loved wise king into a tyrant who deprived the entire country of rain.

His plan was almost successful.

The long-term drought and rumors of dancing fans finally triggered the resistance of the people of Alabasta. Kosha organized a resistance army and invaded Arupana. According to Sand Crocodile's plan, he will come out to clean up the mess after both sides have suffered losses, and as a hero of this country, he will naturally become the new king of Alabasta.

Unexpectedly, the "Son of Destiny" Straw Hat Luffy entered Alabasta, and Sand Crocodile's plan failed.

From the perspective of a plan to steal the country, Profic quite admired the Sand Crocodile. Among pirates, there are many ambitious ones who steal the country or want to steal the country. Crocodile, Doflamenco, Hody Jones, and Black Carbon Orochi all belong to this group.

Except for Crocodile, the others' plans either rely on violence or special abilities. Even if they succeed, there are great hidden dangers. Only Crocodile, once successful, will become a national hero.

To a certain extent, careerists like Crocodile are more suitable for today's era than idealists like Otohime.

Profik didn't know whose sorrow this was.

But he knew that when Crocodile appeared in front of him to greet him, he had to show enough respect to the other party.

"Brother Sha!"

Profic walked forward quickly and gave Crocodile a warm hug, which immediately stunned Lao Sha.

Is our relationship so harmonious?

"Brother Sha, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are more energetic than before!" Profik laughed and started chatting with Crocodile.

Minister Zuo approached Gao Shifu curiously and asked in a low voice: "Master Profic and Mr. Crocodile are actually so familiar with each other?"

As the first "envoy" sent by Fish-Man Island to human society in hundreds of years, Minister Zuo did enough homework before his visit in order to leave a good impression on humans. Not only did he check out all the information about Alabasta on Fish-Man Island, he also got to know the King Shichibukai who had been stationed in Alabasta a few days ago.

According to public information such as newspapers, this big shot has an aloof and unruly temperament, and is unlikely to be a friend.

Gao Shifu glanced at Crocodile to ensure that the other party would not hear: "I don't know, the boss seems to like this guy very much. He probably wants to have a good relationship with him."

"Brother Sha, look, this is the sword of Wano Country!"

A beautifully crafted samurai sword was handed to Crocodile's hand.

"This is the coral eagle from Fishman Island!"

"This is a redwood branch from Chambord!"

"Sentimental!" Crocodile said coldly. He didn't care about these things.

But he didn't refuse Profik's kindness.

"Brother Sha, the king of Fish-Man Island has heard of your name for a long time and has always wanted to make friends. He heard that you were in Alabasta and specially brought a gift." He turned his head and greeted Minister Zuo, "Minister Zuo, this is Sha Mr. Crocodile."

The so-called long-admired name is not true of Profik's nonsense. Neptune has long wanted to find another king to protect the Fish-Man Island in the Shichibukai, and he actually took Crocodile into consideration.

However, after understanding Crocodile's style, Neptune finally gave up the idea. After all, not every Shichibukai is as easy to talk to as Profik. Putting Crocodile in his own country would most likely attract wolves into the house. I just don’t know why King Kobra would allow such a dangerous person to be stationed in Alabasta.

"Mr. Crocodile, this is a gift prepared for you by our king. It is a thousand-year-old pearl originating from deep sea scallops. Please accept it..."

Facing Minister Zuo of Fish-Man Island, Sand Crocodile didn't have a good look on his face, but he didn't say anything bad at all. He just felt a little bored. After all, the other party was an envoy of a big country, and he still had to have the respect he deserved.

"You called me to Rapeseed Flowers specifically for such a boring thing?!"

"Brother Sha, when we come to Alabasta this time, we want to meet King Kobra. We will have to trouble you to introduce him..."
