"The World Government and the Marine Headquarters say you are smart and ambitious, but I don't really agree."
"Your efficiency is terrible, nowhere near as decisive as Doflamingo's!"
Wang Shi's Armament Haki Haki-infused black hand gripped Crocodile's neck, lifted him up sharply, and slammed him down, creating a large crater in the ground. Cracks spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web.
The immense force caused Crocodile to bleed from all seven orifices, and his consciousness to blur and darken.
In his final moments before losing consciousness, he was filled with rage at Wang Shi's insults.
Is he inferior to Doflamingo?
He's just a middleman in the Underworld; he hasn't even set his sights on that Flamingo yet.
Wang Shi looked at the completely unconscious Sand Crocodile and threw its upper body to the ground.
"Doflamingo was more ruthless than you at murdering his father, and more decisive than you at usurping the throne."
"You've been dawdling around in Alabasta for over a decade, and I haven't seen any intelligence or ruthlessness in you."
No wonder you don't have Conqueror's Haki, and your dual-type Haki is a complete mess.
Wang Shi sheathed his sword and looked at Crocodile with considerable disdain.
In his eyes, this Sand Crocodile was nothing more than an enhanced version of the Klahadore, just as arrogant.
Thinking himself clever, he ended up failing at everything.
No wonder he became Straw Hat Luffy's first experience point among the Shichibukai.
Looking at Crocodile's half-body, Wang Shi stroked his chin and released the banished elemental form.
As he watched the elements slowly merge back into Crocodile's body, a thoughtful expression appeared on Wang Shi's face.
Logia elemental body can be restored like this?
Just how badly did Akainu break Aokiji's chicken leg?
I bet they've completely exhausted their Haki and stamina.
Wang Shi, carrying Crocodile, released the banished elemental bodies one by one.
Even the shoulder that Royal Mausoleum had been exiled from flew over.
Except for the severed golden poison hook, Crocodile's entire body has recovered.
"Is this the passive recovery of Logia?"
Wang Shi pondered, realizing he needed to test his Time Slash and Blade of Exile to see if he could imbue them with Haki and directly injure Logia entities.
'Kirin Lion, come here!'
Wang Shi gripped the Seven-Star Dragon Sword and summoned his mount.
Wearing platinum gloves, he took out Seastone collar, leg irons, and a single handcuff from the pack on the back of the Kirin Lion's seat, giving this Shichibukai a full set of armor.
Wang Shi tossed the unconscious Crocodile onto the back of the Kirin Lion and continued back to the Royal Mausoleum.
Princess Vivi and Pell the Falcon had already taken King Cobra back to the palace for treatment.
Reiju and Baby5 are waiting at the entrance to the Royal Mausoleum for the Wang Shi's return.
Seeing Wang Shi return riding the Kirin Lion, Reiju and the others all smiled with relief.
They admired and revered Crocodile even more when they saw him on the back of the Kirin Lion.
"The Sand Crocodile, who was on par with the young master, was defeated by His Majesty just like that."
Baby5's eyes were full of stars. Wang Shi defeated a Shichibukai, he was probably more famous than when he suppressed the Overlord of the North Blue and the Twin Heroes of the West Blue.
Thanks to the World Government's propaganda, the Shichibukai have a far more intimidating reputation than the Affiliated Nation.
After all, the World Government needs the infamy of the Shichibukai to deter rookie and ambitious pirate crews.
"These are the Shichibukai. I've heard they possess the power to destroy nations."
"I didn't expect His Majesty to take him down so quickly."
Nami and Kaya initially thought it would take a considerable amount of time for Wang Shi to defeat this Shichibukai.
But the result came faster than they had imagined.
"Wait here for a moment and keep an eye on this Sand Crocodile."
After giving instructions to the women, Wang Shi entered the Royal Mausoleum again.
Reiju and the others ran to the side of the Kirin Lion to observe the unconscious Shichibukai.
Baby5 even took out Photo Den Den Mushi scooter) to take a picture of the defeated Sand Crocodile.
"His Majesty said that we could report some unimportant information back to the Donquixote Family."
"The news that His Majesty defeated Crocodile should not be a secret."
Baby5 sent photos of the Sand Crocodile's tragic state and information about the defeat to the Donquixote Family via Den Den Mushi.
Doflamingo felt no relief at Baby5's initiative in sending back this message; instead, he felt incredibly angry.
He thought Baby5 still remembered the kindness of the Donquixote Family, but he didn't expect this to be rubbing salt into his wounds.
The arms trade in the Kingdom of Xihai Sang was disrupted and has not yet fully recovered.
As a result, Sand Crocodile's major arms deal has now been overturned by Wang Shi.
Doflamingo felt as if Wang Shi was targeting him.
It's worth noting that Sand Crocodile has purchased more weapons in recent years than the Mulberry Kingdom, and yet it's all gone just like that.
Wang Shi also wants to stop the rebellion in Alabasta, which is tantamount to cutting off Doflamingo's business.
This almost made Doflamingo furious.
However, Doflamingo's apprehension towards the Wang Shi is growing daily.
If Wang Shi can defeat Sand Crocodile Uranus, he might be able to defeat him tomorrow.
It seems we still need to maintain our cooperative relationship with Wang Shi.
He can only find another major client to fill the arms orders with Sand Crocodile.
It seems we'll have to instigate another war between two powerful allied nations.
···
Within the Royal Mausoleum.
Wang Shi released Nico Robin and immediately forced the antidote into her mouth.
Nico Robin, who was already in a daze, clearly saw Crocodile throw away the antidote and walk towards Cobra.
How did it happen in the blink of an eye?
He was given the antidote by a man, and even Crocodile and Cobra disappeared.
The poisoning phenomena and physical constitutions in this world are different; the medicine cures the disease instantly, requiring very little recovery time.
However, the wound Crocodile's Golden Hook left on Robin's abdomen still left Robin somewhat weak.
"You are... Wang Shi Goa Emperor..."
After Robin was cured of the poison, she became much more conscious and immediately recognized the man.
This terrifying emperor forced the Sand Crocodile to act prematurely.
"Nico Robin, the Child of the Devil with a bounty of 79 million Belly, is a survivor of Ohara and is wanted by the World Government for her ability to read Ancient Script."
"Keeping you here would be a great risk for me, the emperor of Affiliated Nation."
"What do you think I should do with you, Robin?"
"How about I kill you? Or banish you permanently?"
Wang Shi directly revealed Nico Robin's background, looking down at the bronze-skinned woman with a thoughtful expression.
Upon hearing Wang Shi's words, Robin's face instantly turned pale, as if she had stepped into an ice cave. Her information had been completely known to this Goa Emperor.
Having just escaped Crocodile's crocodile claws, it has now fallen into the jaws of Wang Shi.
It seems she really won't survive today.
But the next second, she looked up at Wang Shi. If this man really wanted to kill her, then why did he save her?
"Perhaps I still have some use to Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in the Three Ancient Weapons, or in Baroque Works?"
Nico Robin calmed down and thought for a moment. She realized that the only way to save her life was to persuade Wang Shi with a promise of benefits.
