Army Lieutenant General Sand Crocodile Is Born!

[Bang!!!]

The surrounding Army soldiers couldn't even see Bullet's clapping gesture.

All I felt was a cloud of white vapor explode in front of the latter on my retina.

The next moment.

It was a special Kabane with Kabane stuck to its body and two more Kabane in its hand.

Under some Formless pressure, the head slowly but actually quickly caved into the chest cavity.

Finally, it slammed hard onto the ground.

Its impact not only created a large crater in the ground beneath its feet, but also generated Shockwave that spread in all directions.

Numerous cracks continued to spread outwards, and thick smoke suddenly billowed up.

This was after Bullet deliberately held back a lot of effort.

The smoke was blown away by the Tornado he casually waved.

The Kabane the center of the pit, leaving only a pool of viscous, mangled flesh.

"Ha~ That's it?"

Bullet glanced at the 'finished product' with disdain.

He turned and slowly walked towards his Heavy Motorcycle, occasionally smashing the Kabane mincemeat and sending them flying.

"Hurry up!"

"I'm going to rest in the city in two hours!!"

As mentioned before, the main purpose of this military operation was actually to train his troops.

As for how much intelligence was available within that city, that was no longer his concern.

Inside the Star Gate Base.

Senior Director Addison had just hung up the Den Den Mushi call on his desk.

However, the look of surprise on his face lingered for a long time.

He held the microphone, not thinking of putting it back, but instead rubbing it gently in his hand, his mind lost in thought.

"It's not surprising that Crocodile agreed to join the Army, although it happened much earlier than expected."

"But he actually discovered a perfectly intact human city, a city with a large Iron Mine and complete facilities, and he even wanted to capture the core Kabane of this 'Black Mist' and the city's governor."

Any one of these three is of extremely important value to the current World Government.

Especially that steward, who clearly sounds like a high-ranking official in the country and must have a lot of intelligence.

Thinking of this, Addison quickly turned the Den Den Mushi to contact the home base on the other side of the Star Gate.

That's right.

He first recounted Crocodile's story, then submitted his application, saying:

"We need an expert in interrogation and torture."

"Okay, thank you."

Immediately afterwards, he made a phone call to Dr. Fritz of the Biochemical Research Institute.

Tell the other party that a special blue-glowing Kabane will be delivered soon.

He also briefly recounted the information Crocodile had provided regarding the 'Black Mist'.

"Then what are we waiting for! Send it over quickly!!"

As expected, Dr. Fritz was very excited after hearing this.

But this forced Senior Director Addison to repeat what he had just said.

"That will have to wait until Crocodile returns. Just be prepared." He hung up immediately after saying that, not wanting to waste any more words with the other party.

He then had to arrange for a team to deliver the gasoline and the intelligence-gathering personnel to Bullet.

Honestly, I'm very busy.

"Ugh, I really envy Coulson. He gets to travel around with people every day, delivering documents and such. He's so carefree."

Addison had lost the excitement of arriving in this New World; all that remained was weariness.

What he didn't expect was...

Crocodile not only agreed to join the Army sooner than he expected, but he also returned sooner than he expected!

The following day, in the afternoon and evening.

The gates to the Star Gate Base are now fully open.

Armed Army soldiers stood in long lines on both sides of the avenue.

A group of government officials in suits, led by the Senior Director of Addison, appeared at the gate to await someone's return.

There was also an elderly man in a white coat with an anxious expression and an Army officer in a black Coat of Justice.

[Call------]

However, the person didn't keep them waiting for too long.

A whirlwind of yellowish-brown sand appeared out of thin air outside the gate.

Soon.

Crocodile, with one hand gripping the Blue-Light Kabane and the other holding onto Tian Jiang's back, slowly emerged from the sandstorm.

At this time.

The former was still struggling tirelessly, while the latter had completely lost consciousness.

After all, most people really can't withstand high-speed flight in the air.

[Bang!]

Crocodile casually tossed Tian Jiang over, letting a man in black catch him, grinning as he did so:

"This man is the head of the Yatsushiro Station. You can interrogate him yourselves. As for this..."

But he had just raised his left hand to the Blue Heart Kabane.

Suddenly, I spotted an elderly man in a white coat in the crowd.

Before I could even finish speaking, he had already run up to me at an astonishing speed.

He adjusted his glasses while examining the Kabane in his hand.

"It really is blue light. Can it really attract other Kabane?"

Who are you?

Crocodile looked at the other person with displeasure and asked.

"This is Dr. Fritz, the director of the Biochemical Research Institute. He is personally in charge of the research on the Kabane," Senior Director Addison said with a smile as he walked over.

"Alright, you can have this too."

Crocodile nodded dismissively.

He casually tossed the Kabane in his hand onto an open ground nearby, completely disregarding whether it would hurt anyone.

Because only a large number of Kabane -controlled and replenished 'cores' are dangerous.

But the 'core' is empty.

Even if its heart, blood vessels, and pupils are blue, it can only be considered a 'Flashy Flash' Kabane.

As for that mental fluctuation, it was clearly not dangerous.

Besides, even if he did, he wouldn't care.

If it can hurt people even in this base.

Crocodile really needs to reconsider joining the Army.

This is just too useless!

Sure enough, one of the men in black easily subdued it and skillfully stuffed an iron ball into its mouth.

Then tie the straps on both sides around the back of your head.

Then, his hands were handcuffed tightly behind his back.

Finally, he grabbed the back of the neck and quickly lifted him away; the whole process took no more than ten seconds.

Seeing that the special Kabane had been taken away, Dr. Fritz lost all interest in the place and turned to leave.

At this time.

The Army Rear Admiral, wearing a black Coat of Justice, stepped forward, holding a neatly folded black uniform in both hands, and shouted in a strong voice:

"Welcome Lieutenant Vice Admiral Crocodile to the Army! Please put on your uniform!"

"Oh?"

Crocodile raised an eyebrow.

He glanced at everyone present, grabbed the fur coat from his shoulder, and tossed it aside.

Then he picked up the topmost black Coat of Justice and draped it over his back.

In that instant.

Crocodile, the One Piece, is dead.

Crocodile the Army is reborn.

Behind him, the sky was ablaze with fiery sunset, but the Mingyue hung high in the sky.

Suddenly!

The Army Rear Admiral and Senior Director Addison, among others, keenly noticed that Crocodile's demeanor had changed.

Or perhaps his aura has changed, becoming much more assertive.

He only Awakening Eye a sandy yellow Emperor Crocodile appear behind him, roaring with its head raised.

Do you have cigars?

"Vice Admiral, please!"

The Army Rear Admiral seemed to have been prepared, and immediately took out a cigar, lit it, and handed it over.

Crocodile took it, put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath.

As he exhaled smoke, a cigar was held between his fingers.

He suddenly grinned widely and burst into a long laugh, his feelings a complex mix of emotions.

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Army Lieutenant General 'Sand Crocodile' is born in the New World!
