Return to Marineford
However, he probably doesn't know that even if he does defeat Luffy, Haku won't let him go so easily!
Crocodile and Luffy quickly clashed.
Facing Logia Devil Fruit User like Crocodile, Luffy was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the battle.
Clearly, without mastering Conqueror's Haki, Luffy is no match for Crocodile.
Crocodile, unaware of why Haku demanded he fight Luffy, also refrained from killing Luffy!
Seeing Luffy getting anxious because he couldn't hit Crocodile, Haku could only say, "Luffy, that guy is afraid of water!"
Crocodile never expected that Haku would verbally support Luffy and even reveal his weaknesses to Luffy.
Half an hour later, all the Straw Hat Crew except Usopp's group had defeated their opponents. Luffy was exhausted, his face covered in sweat and dirt, but his eyes shone with the light of victory.
He was breathing heavily, looking at Crocodile lying on the snow, a victor's smile on his face.
Half an hour later, the Straw Hat Crew left Usopp's side. The rest of the crew had each defeated their own opponents!
Haku could hear the other person cursing him in their mind, but he could only chuckle and ignore it.
Crocodile stared blankly at the sky, his face filled with despair. His heart was filled with resentment towards Haku. It was all because of this guy that he had exposed his weakness in the battle, Luffy an opportunity. He felt incredibly angry and powerless, and could only lie on the ground, letting the cold wind blow over his body.
And Luffy lived up to expectations, his hands stained with blood as he fought until his strength was completely exhausted before finally defeating Crocodile!
"Not bad, not bad! At least you all tried your best," Haku said to Luffy with a smile.
Just as Luffy was about to become arrogant, Haku said without hesitation, "At least after we get to the New World, you won't get bullied!"
Luffy's face immediately fell!
However, Haku wasn't wrong; the main Luffy hasn't fully developed his Devil Fruit abilities yet. His strength is currently only at a mid-to-lower level!
However, after this battle, Haku knew that the Straw Hat Pirates' strength would at least increase by several levels.
Someone like Zoro, for example, Awakening the ability to cut through steel during his fight with Mr. 1!
Of all the fighters, he was the fastest at dealing with his opponents and the first to finish a battle.
Moreover, he wasn't seriously Injuries!
Haku's assessment of the other person was that they were very talented.
After Chopper fully recovered from Nami illness on Drum Island, Straw Hat Pirates boarded the Luffy Going Merry after Luffy's persuasive talk! After saying goodbye to Haku, they set sail directly towards their next destination, Alabasta!
Meanwhile, there was someone waiting for them in Alabasta, and Muramasa had already relayed Ace's message to Luffy!
Whether they meet again in Alabasta or not is of no concern to Haku!
Watching the Going Merry gradually disappear into the distance, Kalifa couldn't help but remark, "Those people are really interesting!"
Haku glanced at the other person and said with a smile, "It's not just interesting; in two years, the World Government will be having a headache!"
Kalifa froze, unable to help but recall the scene from two days ago when she went to Haku's room.
Although Haku didn't do anything to her.
However, she knew that from this moment on, if she betrayed Haku again, the consequences would be...
Kalifa's breathing became slightly erratic!
Just as her thoughts were wandering, Haku's Den Den Den Mushi rang!
Haku glanced at the Den Den Mushi and then answered it without hesitation.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you're actually calling me at this time. Is there something you need me to do?" Haku said, looking at the Den Den Mushi in her hand.
Sengoku paused for a moment, holding the microphone, but still managed to say, "Have you had enough fun out there? You know Crocodile is still in your hands, right?"
"Ah, I know!" Haku said helplessly.
Haku knew that once Crocodile was handed over to the World Government, Blackbeard Teach would also start eyeing the vacant Shichibukai positions and making his move.
However, since Sengoku has spoken, he has no choice but to take Crocodile back to Marine Headquarters!
What was bound to happen will happen eventually!
The Ark quickly sailed away from Drum Castle and headed towards Marineford!
Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders gathered together once again.
Unfortunately, despite the World Government's best efforts to suppress the Alabasta affair, there was nothing that could be done.
However, after Crocodile's conspiracy was fully exposed, it affected both the countries under the World Government.
Even the Alabasta Kingdom, ravaged by Crocodile, was shocked and enraged by his methods. The World Government 'World Government impartiality and competence.
And it greatly shook the system of the Shichibukai!
The Five Elders sat in the conference room, their expressions serious. Their gazes were fixed on a report on the central table, which displayed Crocodile's photograph and detailed information, including how he used Dance Powder, Devil Fruit powers, and other techniques to corrupt a nation!
"This Crocodile, has he gone mad? Doesn't he know that what he's doing will anger the entire World Government?!" one of the Five Elders said in a deep voice.
"His ambitions are too great; he wants to overthrow the rule of a country. We must act quickly to prevent his influence from expanding further," added another of the Five Elders Saint Saturn.
"We took action to control the spread of information when this matter first broke out! However, for some reason, it was eventually leaked. I suspect that kid interfered!" said the Five Elders, Saint Peter.
"I don't doubt that kid, because according to the investigation, the Revolutionary Army was behind this when the news spread! I think I don't need to explain why they would do this, right?" said the Five Elders Saint Warcury.
If Haku were here and heard what the other person said, she would probably give him a big thumbs up!
However, Saint Nusjuro, the Five Elders wields the First Generation Kitetsu and harbors a deep prejudice against Haku, asked, "What do the CP9 members who are with that kid say?"
