After half a day, everyone had divided into two groups and moved forward.
The two-man team of Can Yue, Luffy and the tool man went directly to stab Crocodile's lair.
Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, and Nami ride on the demonized Chouchou, with the purpose of finding Sanji and Vivi as soon as possible.
Straw Hat Pirates, split up.
Can Yue knew that the city where Crocodile was located was City of Dreams-Rain Dinners in the inland west of Alabasta, so he took the lead with his super sense of direction.
In addition to him and Luffy, Mikita and Gem also chose to follow Can Yue.
Before setting off, the two promised repeatedly that they would never cause trouble to Can Yue, and just wanted to help Can Yue share some of the pressure.
Although they are relatively weak compared to the members of Straw Hat Crew, they can still help Can Yue share some of the miscellaneous fish.
Can Yue Because I still don't trust the two of them, and I don't want to lose such a good training tool.
So he agreed to let the two follow him.
As for Ace, I also choose to go a distance with Luffy and Can Yue.
He didn't plan to get involved in Alabasta's affairs. He planned to spend one more day with Luffy and then set off to find Blackbeard.
As for the other side, Can Yue is not worried about whether Chouchou can find Vivi and Sanji.
With the enhanced sense of smell after Chouchou's demonization, as long as there is still a little smell of 2 people and 1 duck on the ground.
Chouchou can find them.
With a smell range of 15 kilometers, it is definitely the world's best search and rescue dog.
Like a small satellite.
If flying alone.
In about 1 day, you can reach Alubarna, the capital of Alabasta.
As for what to do after arriving, Can Yue has already made it clear to Chouchou.
Half a day ago, that is, when Can Yue and others first arrived at Alabasta's landing.
City of Dreams, Rain Dinners, Golden Crocodile Casino in the underground offices.
Crocodile, who was slightly impatient, had already distributed tasks to MR.1, Miss Doublefinger, mr.4, and Miss Merry Christmas who arrived at the scene.
MR.2 Bon Clay, who was on his way to the capital of Alabasta, attended the meeting through Den Den Mushi.
According to his plan.
MR.2 must kidnap the king within 2 days and negotiate with Koza, the leader of the Rebel Army.
Kill Koza during the negotiation process.
The other four people acted as spies, lurking in the negotiation teams of both parties, disrupting the situation and killing people.
It is inevitable that Rebel Army and Royal Army will engage in a life-and-death battle.
As for Crocodile himself, he also has a mission.
It's just that he doesn't need to go there in person.
"Hey, hey, hey, Can Yue, Luffy, how can you win?"
On the desert land.
Can Yue, Luffy, Ace and the tool man are moving towards Rain Dinners in an orderly manner.
One reason why there is no flight is that based on the marching speed, there are at least 3 days left before the negotiations begin.
Another reason is that Can Yue keenly felt something was wrong.
Why does Smoker dare to appear in Alabasta.
It stands to reason that Smoker, who saw the true strength of Straw Hat Crew in Loguetown, would not choose to hunt down Straw Hat Pirates alone.
Although he is reckless, he is not a stubborn idiot like Luffy.
With such a huge gap in strength, how could Smoker bring a group of marines to die?
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that there was someone behind this guy.
The strength will be at least similar to Can Yue or even above Can Yue.
So who could it be?
There is a high probability that it will not be Marine Admiral.
So many things have happened before, but Marine Admiral has not arrived yet.
Moreover, Loguetown's incident was much more troublesome than Alabasta's.
The Navy also deliberately caused the battle between Straw Hat Pirates and Shichibukai through the news.
Plus the presence of Garp...
Well, Can Yue has already guessed who the visitor is.
Momousagi's injury is definitely not healed yet. Regarding this point, Can Yue is still very confident in the damage he can deal.
Then there is a high probability that it is the wretched Chaton.
"Hey, why bother."
The remaining four people all heard Can Yue's soliloquy.
Luffy didn't respond because he was fighting hunger and thirst.
The food and water were all taken by Can Yue, and there was no way he could steal them to drink.
Ace felt something unusual and asked.
"Can Yue, did you think of something?"
Can Yue responded with a calm expression.
"It is estimated that I will not be able to protect Luffy for a period of time before the war begins."
Ace is a smart person after all and guessed the possible reason.
"In that case, I will stay for two more days."
As soon as these words came out, Can Yue was a little worried.
If Ace had help, then Luffy would definitely be fine with this operation.
Moreover, Ace may have escaped being executed by the navy after being defeated by Blackbeard due to a change in his action plan.
But is this good for Luffy?
The growth of Luffy must go through several stages.
Happiness, confidence, pain, regret, sadness, awakening, and moving forward bravely.
Awakening Only when the state of mind is improved can it bring fruits.
If he helps Luffy complete everything, how will he grow?
But this time, Can Yue's concern was in chaos.
Luffy immediately replied to Ace.
"Ace, don't you have something that you have to do?
Just do it when the time comes.
I'm strong now, don't worry. "
Hearing this, Ace smiled happily.
"As expected of you, Luffy."
After that, everyone continued to move in the direction of Rain Dinners.
Can Yue also blamed himself.
After yesterday, he seemed a little too worried about the Luffy guys.
When a lonely soul begins to accept others.
He seemed to have a weakness because he was worried about his companions.
One Rear Admiral will make him lose his confidence?
How is that possible!
Thinking of this, Can Yue's eyes returned to that peaceful state again.
The belief in invincibility resurfaced again.
Ace felt Can Yue's emotional changes and smiled.
At this moment, he had real trust in Can Yue.
Almost at the same time.
Alabasta's Eastern Continent.
Vivi and Run Kuai were advancing rapidly in the desert.
In front of them, a Rebel Army team of 20,000 people appeared in the eyes of Vivi.
She signaled to run fast and slow down so as not to be discovered by the Rebel Army.
Sudden changes can occur.
There was massive quicksand activity in the desert beneath the feet of 20,000 people.
After a while, a huge sand pit appeared.
20,000 people fell into a sand pit tens of meters deep at the same time.
Vivi ran fast and hid on the sand dunes in the distance.
After seeing a person, Vivi's eyes trembled violently.
"Crocodile!"
But soon, this Crocodile turned into sand and disappeared from Vivi's field of vision.
Almost at the same time, there were 9 Rebel Army troops of 20,000 people who encountered the same incident.
Near them, Crocodile appeared briefly.
Another day later.
Alabasta Western Continent.
Can Yue used his tail to pull Luffy and the tool man duo flying in the sky.
Early this morning, Ace left a Vivre Card piece of paper for Luffy and left.
After calculating the time, Can Yue planned to consume part of the demon power to quickly reach Rain Dinners.
With his mood restored, he no longer thinks about too many things.
Demon power can be replenished even if it is consumed, so there is no need to be cautious enough to enter a battle at full strength.
Near noon, a magnificent city covered with green vegetation, abundant water, and magnificent scenery appeared in the eyes of Can Yue and others.
Outside the gate, Can Yue landed.
He glanced at Luffy and gave a simple instruction.
"You go and have a good meal first, I'll be there soon."
Luffy roared and rushed towards Rain Dinners.
At this time, Mikita and Gem began to send inquiries to Can Yue.
"Lord Can Yue, why do you stop here."
Can Yue snorted coldly.
"Wait for someone!"
"Come out, Chaton Tokikake."
