Boom!
Blah blah blah...
The heavy downpour caused the yellow sand in the sky to fall to the ground again in less than ten seconds.
A sandstorm that could destroy the entire capital of Alabasta magically disappeared.
No fighting!
No need to fight either!
And Crocodile, who caused all this, stood on the muddy sand dunes like a bereaved dog, raising his head and staring at the dense dark clouds in the sky, his whole body trembling slightly.
No doubt about it!
Downpour is the biggest nemesis of rustle Devil Fruit ability, bar none.
In such an environment, he wasn't even sure if he could beat Mr. 1 - Daz Bones.
Just when Crocodile was trying to figure out why it was so clear just now and it rained so heavily in the blink of an eye, an extremely thick bolt of lightning fell directly from the sky and landed less than five meters away from him.
boom!!!!
The terrifying current spread freely in the rain, spreading Baroque Works's senior agents to a large area on the spot.
"Is it you?! Are you doing all this?"
Looking at Allen who slowly walked out of the electric light, Crocodile's eyes suddenly turned red with anger.
After all, he will not forget that more than half a year ago, it was the guy in front of him who snatched from him the only Nicole Robin in the world who could decipher Poneglyph.
"Hey! I didn't expect that after so long, you still haven't made any progress at all." Allen pursed his lips and mocked without concealment.
"Asshole! Give me back Pluton Blueprint! That's what belongs to me!"
Crocodile roared and waved the secret weapon hidden in his sleeve - Scorpion Needle, trying to kill the powerful enemy in front of him through the poison contained in the hook.
As someone who dares to challenge Whitebeard, although he is an out-and-out "weak chicken", he does not lack courage.
But unfortunately, courage cannot offset the objective disparity in strength.
When the golden hook passed through Allen's body, Sand Crocodile was surprised to find that he didn't stab anything, but passed directly through the middle.
"Haha, have you forgotten that when Logia Devil Fruit Elementalization was immune to all physical damage?" Allen reminded him meaningfully as he glanced down at the sharp hook that passed through his chest.
I have to say that for those who don't know Haki at all, Logia Devil Fruit and Elementalization are simply incomprehensible.
Of course, the premise is that there should be no obvious weaknesses like Sand-Sand Fruit.
"What do you want? To take Pluton Blueprint all to yourself?" Crocodile asked through gritted teeth.
After realizing that his attack was completely ineffective, his originally heated mind instantly calmed down.
As a One Piece, he obviously knows that incompetent rage cannot solve any problems.
Especially when the opponent has an overwhelming advantage...
"To monopolize Pluton Blueprint? No, you are overthinking it. In fact, I really don't think much of this design. After all, it is a backward technology from eight hundred years ago." As he spoke, Allen took out a few pieces of paper made of unknown materials from his arms and shook them in his hand.
When Crocodile saw this scene, his eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and his pupils showed naked greed and desire. "Give it to me! Since you don't want it, then give it to me!"
"It's not impossible to give it to you. How about this, let's play a little game. If you win, I'll give it to you." Allen suggested with a playful look.
"Game?"
Crocodile frowned subconsciously.
"That's right!" Allen nodded slightly. "Remember Straw Hat Pirates? I will give you half a month. If you can find them and kill them within half a month, then Pluton Blueprint will be yours. But if you lose, not only will you not get Pluton Blueprint, but you will also lose everything including your life."
"Hmph! Do you think that stupid kid who doesn't know how to live or die will be my opponent?" Crocodile asked with a sneer.
"Do you think you are strong? I can tell you clearly that among all Seven Warlords, you are definitely the weakest. Even Moonlight·Moria is far stronger than you. So stop being so pretentious and honestly admit the fact that you are a weak person." Allen directly exposed the other party's ridiculous self-esteem.
If there is still a dispute about who is the strongest among Seven Warlords, then there is absolutely no dispute about who is the weakest.
After all, except for Sand Crocodile, all other Seven Warlords basically master Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
To be honest, Allen really couldn't figure out how Crocodile was able to fight to a close with Douglas Barrett, the former crew member of Roger Pirates, based on Crocodile's level.
After all, the latter destroyed a country with one person when he was fourteen years old, and was even called a monster by strong men like Rayleigh and Roger.
"Are you humiliating me?" Crocodile suddenly became furious.
"No! Don't get me wrong, I'm just telling you a cruel reality to save you from being unwilling to lose in the end. Now, tell me, do you want to accept this bet?" Allen stared into the other person's eyes and asked.
"Okay! I accept! Just wait and see! Before long, I will cut off Straw Hat Kid's head and send it to you." Crocodile replied in the affirmative without thinking.
In his eyes, how could a newcomer like Luffy, who had just debuted, be his opponent.
In any case, his bounty before joining Seven Warlords had already reached 81 million Beli.
"OK! The contract is established! I'm looking forward to your performance. Oh, I almost forgot, by the way, don't fight in the city. If I find that you accidentally injured any civilians or destroyed civilian houses, similar heavy rain may fall from the sky at any time."
After saying these words full of warning, Allen's whole body turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after he left, the heavy rain stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed under the sunlight.
If it weren't for the wet sand still on the ground, he would even think that the downpour just now was just his imagination.
"Boss, that person just now seems to be one of the Four Emperors of New World, Sea Devil Allen, right?" Mr. 1 Daz Bonis walked out of the bunker at the back and asked cautiously.
"Ah! It's that bastard! I believe you have heard it. If we want to take back Pluton Blueprint, we must find Straw Hat Pirates, and then kill all those reckless guys." Crocodile responded with a gloomy face.
"Understood! I will immediately organize the remaining people to start searching for traces of Straw Hat Crew in Albana city."
"Take out all our reserves and issue a reward! Anyone who can provide clues and information can receive 10 million Beli! Those who directly provide the exact address can receive 100 million Beli! Remember! At any cost..."
