Ch 36 : Dumbfounded Crocodile

" What?"

In the eye of the sandstorm, Crocodile heard Cade's words and immediately turned gloomy.

Sure enough, this guy knew about his plan.

However, what did he mean by "are you sure Pluton was in Alabasta"? The Historical text was in Alabasta, so the pluton should naturally also be in Alabasta.

Unless….

The moment he realized what Cade meant, his face sunk even deeper.

All of these years of hard work would it eventually turn useless?

This kind of thought made Cade's face unbearable. The way Crocodile looked at Cade turned Dangerous.

Even Zephyr, who was witnessing all of this from below with his observation Haki couldn't help but frown.

The Pluton that "Itachi" mentioned must be the Ancient Weapon. So they still had this kind of knowledge?

In case this was known by the World Government, this would no longer be just like sending spies or agents. Instead, this would be a full-fledged war.

And thinking of the Sullivan Kingdom getting swept in the war, Zephyr's face grew reluctant.

Back to Crocodile and "Itachi".

Cade could already see Crocodile's mind, wavered, and now was the time for the final push.

" In fact, I knew where Pluton was. The Pluton that you always dreamed of, it is in Wano, a land under the control of Yonko Kaido."

" What a pity. You have once thought that by using Pluton, you could erase the humiliation given by Whitebeard. But now, another Yonko is standing in your way."

This time, hearing such words, even Crocodile could no longer maintain his calm.

It was like giving cold water to all his effort, and even the smartest man could not remain calm when faced with such a situation, let alone Crocodile.

The Sandstorm that was previously tearing everything apart disappeared, and Crocodile was ready to hit concentrate his attack on "Itachi".

But who would have thought that this was what Cade was waiting for?

The moment the Sandstorm disappeared, Zephyr was shocked.

And it was not because "Itachi" had defeated Crocodile. But rather…

" Now!!!"

Behind Crocodile, the members of Cp9 were ready to ambush him.

Khalifa and Rob Lucci brought a huge bucket of seawater, and Kaku brought the sea stone chain.

If it was his usual self, Crocodile would easily be able to avoid this attack.

But Crocodile was greatly shaken by Cade's words, and in a split second, he was dragged into the illusion world by Cade, making him unable to retaliate under this ambush of the Cp9.

BAMMM!!!!

Under the cooperative ambush of Cp9 and Cade, Crocodile was easily taken down.

The water weakened him a bit, and the moment Kaku placed the sea-stone cuff on him, everything was over.

The Shicibukai had been defeated, albeit a bit anticlimactic.

And Zephyr, who saw all of this happening right before his eyes, could not help but have a strange expression.

' Was this all just a play? In that case…. Why was I not get invited..'

A complicated thought appeared in his mind.

. . . . . . . . .

In the meantime, in the port, Cade saw Crocodile had been safely taken down, and a huge sigh of relief came from his face.

The first big danger that came to the Sullivan Kingdom had been resolved, and it felt like a huge burden had been taken from his shoulder.

After all, in case of Crocodile was let to run amok in the Sullivan Kingdom, the casualties might be a lot more than what he could tolerate.

And now, being able to stop him before he could even reach Sullivan was the best outcome he could expect.

But this was still far from over.

Because obviously, he needed to think about what might come after the World Government knew about this. Though for now, he wanted to relax a bit.

Instructing Lake and his soldier, they immediately opened up space.

Zephyr arrived, and he threw the chained and beaten-down Crocodile at Cade's direction.

After such a battle, he was also a bit tired and just wanted to rest. As for the matter regarding Crocodile, he believed Cade was more than enough to handle such a thing.

Cade was just about to go and check Crocodile's current condition.

But right before that, he could already feel something thrown into his chest, and when he looked down, he see Vivi sobbing in his chest.

" Cade, thank you… thank you…"

The little princess of Alabasta. She might act strong all this time. But eventually, when she saw the mastermind was defeated, she could no longer hold herself.

Cade saw Vivi like this, and a smile appeared on his face as he patted the little princess's head.

" Well, everything is fine now. I believe Alabasta will soon return to its previous prime."

The calming words from Cade's mouth had only made Vivi's heart felt sweeter.

Though after being with Cade for so long, she already knew that the only reason Cade dealt with Crocodile was that he threatened the Sullivan Kingdom, her heart still beats fast every time she thinks of him.

" Yes, I know!" A sweet smile emerged from Vivi's face, which made Cade's heart skip a bit for the first time.
