Chapter 76
A man walked slowly out of the shadow of the palace.
He is wearing a black fur coat, a big back, a long cross-cut scar on his face, an earring on his right ear, and a cigar in his mouth.
Lynn certainly knows the identity of the man in front of him——
One of Oka Shichibukai, [Crocodile] Crocodile!
The so-called Oka Shichibukai refers to seven powerful Pirates recognized by the World Government. They possess catastrophic destructive power and terrifying battle strength that can rival a country.
Oka Shichibukai, Yonko and Marine Headquarters are collectively known as the Three Great Influences of the Grand Line. This system has been around for a long time, and in the future, there will be many famous great characters who were once members of Shichibukai.
However, Lynn doesn't know the exact time when those great characters joined Shichibukai, and can only speculate based on existing intelligence.
For example: Jinbe who should still be with Tiger, Doflamingo who has not entered the Grand Line, Boa Hancock who was liberated by Tiger from Holy Land Mariejois not long ago, these future great characters are still Did not join Shichibukai.
As for the Crocodile in front of Lynn, according to Cobra, he seems to have been Shichibukai for some time now.
In the future, it is precisely because of Shichibukai's identity that Crocodile will have the opportunity to use dancing fans to provoke the Albasta civil unrest.
Then appear as a "hero" to rescue Alabasta, and the ultimate goal is to control the Dark King, one of the ancient weapons.
Throughout the whole incident, Crocodile is undoubtedly a strategic careerist. The perfect plan makes both parties in the battle almost like pawns in their own hands. The strategy is closely linked with one another, so that the opponent has no fight back. Power!
Faced with such a man, Lynn couldn't help but become vigilant.
Crocodile raised his eyebrows, looked at Lynn carefully, then took a cigar, and said with a smile to Cobra in a low voice:
"he he he he, King Your Majesty, this This transaction is very important to Alabasta. Are you so relieved to let an unknown third-rate product join in?"
hearing this, Cobra just wanted to explain for Lynn, but Lynn interrupted said with a smile: "speaking of which way is unknown, aren't you?"
Crocodile smiled and replied: "Shichibukai is Pirate recognized by the World Government, so our existence is'legal', Pirate is different from yours!"
Lynn shook the head and said, "Correct, I am a wanted criminal, but not Pirate."
Crocodile's eyebrow raised, "Is it different?"
"Not the same." Lynn replied affirmatively: "If I have to say, I should be a hero."
"A hero? "
hearing this, Crocodile burst out laughing, "he he he he, what a coincidence, as a Shichibukai recognized by the World Government, I should also be a'hero' to help civilians solve Pirate's hidden dangers." 'Let's go!"
"Really? That's a coincidence!"
Lynn grinned and laughed, "hahahahaha!"
"he he he he hehe!"
"hahahahahaha!"
The laughter of the two echoed in the palace, and Vivi beside the throne looked blank. Looking at this scene, Cobra beside her had already seen everything in front of her clearly.
The smell of gunpowder between Lynn and Crocodile, these two people is so strong!
Is it really the first time they met today?
One is the person who protects Vivi all the way back to Alabasta, and the other is Shichibukai, who has helped Alabasta solve the hidden dangers of Pirate around him many times. There should be no contradiction between these two people, right?
However, in order to protect his daughter's safety, Cobra could only wave his hand to make Vivi leave the palace, and he stayed to witness the meeting between the two.
The two laughed for a while, and in the end, it was Crocodile who broke the deadlock first.
He stretched out his intact right hand, grinning said with a smile: "When you first meet, what do you call it?"
"[BOSS] Lynn · Barek."
Lynn also stretched out his right hand and held it with Crocodile's right hand. At the same time, he smiled and emphasized: "bounty gold: two hundred million berries."
"he he he he, so that's how it is, I heard your name not long ago!"
Crocodile did not let go of Lynn's hand, but continued: "The madman who declared war on Celestial Dragon , Do you think you can be unscrupulous in this sea with a high amount of bounty gold?"
"Hey, you can't talk nonsense, I don't look down on low bounty!"
p>
Lynn did not let go of his right hand, but looked directly at Crocodile with his eyes, said with a big smile: "But the fact is that your eighty-one million Bailey’s bounty gold is indeed less than mine. A lot!"
"Ah? That's it!"
Crocodile's forehead immediately burst into a few veins, but he still kept a smile on his face.
He laughed and said: "You know my bounty gold. It seems that you are also very concerned about current affairs, but do you know another thing--"
"Join After Shichibukai, Shichibukai’s own bounty gold will not rise anymore."
"In other words, 81 million berry is just the bounty before I joined Shichibukai!"
The handshake between the two continues, and kind and enthusiastic smiles fill their faces.
However, Cobra on the side noticed the difference between the two.
A thin layer of fine sand emerged near Crocodile's right hand, while Lynn's right hand was now being wrapped in black and white air currents.
Are these two people fighting each other?
Cobra couldn't help but swallowed. After all, he had cooperated for a while, so he also knew part of Crocodile's strength.
[Crocodile] Crocodile, Logia Devil Fruit Suna Suna no Mi Ability User, like other Logia, Crocodile can turn any part of the body into sand.
Apart from this, his right hand also has the power of "drying up". It can absorb water from the creatures or objects it comes into contact with, and absorb water from rocks or soil to turn it back into sand. , Or suck the groundwater in the desert to create quicksand and so on.
And if that ability acts on the human body, it will directly suck the human into a mummy!
Cobra has personally seen Crocodile use that terrifying ability on a Pirate, and that Pirate died almost instantly!
Rubbing his eyes, Cobra found that he was right.
At this time, Crocodile was not wearing gloves.
In other words, he now has the conditions to activate the "dry out" ability!
"But Mr. Lynn's right hand is still intact. It seems that Mr. Crocodile hasn't activated his ability yet?" Cobra thought.
Since there is no real thing, then he is relieved.
And if Crocodile can hear Cobra's voice at this time, then he will surely roar:
"Ability or something, I have already activated it!"
Crocodile held Lynn's hand, and the ability to dry out continued to activate, trying to suck up Lynn's right arm.
He wants to teach the arrogant man in front of him a lesson, and abolish one of his arms!
However, the ability to turn ordinary people into a corpse in an instant, when facing the man named Lynn Barek, it seemed to be suddenly useless.
No matter how Crocodile sucked, Lynn's right arm just didn't respond!
"What a joke, how do I feel that I am mobilizing my power against a mountain!"
When Crocodile was surprised, Lynn's voice suddenly rang.
He grinned said with a big smile: "Hey hey hey, what a terrible ability!"
This sentence that Lynn said is sincere, because he is using it now The energy value in the body offsets the water absorbed by Crocodile.
In just a few minutes, Lynn has already consumed up to 500 energy points!
"In order to keep my right arm, it consumed a full 50 people's energy..."
Lynn is really sighing, but the words fall to Crocodile's ears equated to mockery.
"Hey, Lynn Barek, I took this down!"
After all, the two are in the Imperial Palace in Alabasta, and Crocodile will continue to stay here as Shichibukai. , It’s not good to start a fight here.
Therefore, Crocodile puts down the cruel words and prepares to withdraw his right hand.
But when he took a bit, he found that his hand did not come back.
"en?"
Crocodile's gaze turned to Lynn, coldly said: "Hey, let go."
However, the answer to Crocodile was Lynn’s laugh.
"hahahahahaha, Crocodile, we two hit it off right away, don't be so cold!"
The Busoshoku form of the frozen domain opens.
Lynn’s right hand slammed Crocodile closer to him, and whispered slowly:
"By the way, did I let you go?"
