Chapter 30 The "Hundred Strategies" Of Tragedy Crow

Boom...

As the dust settled, the atmosphere was charged with tension. A blast had just rocked the surroundings, leaving the ground within a ten-meter radius cracked and in ruins, resembling a broken spider web. Zoro couldn't help but be startled by the incredible speed of the attack. He felt his heart race as his eyes widened, and his hair stood on end. The speed was so overwhelming that he couldn't react in time, filling him with a sense of dread.

In the blink of an eye, Alan, who had been standing before them, had vanished without a trace. Luffy couldn't help but marvel at Alan's power. He sensed the strength emanating from him and couldn't help but wonder if he could defeat Alan in his current state. Determination took over Luffy as he adjusted his straw hat, firming his resolve. As the captain, he couldn't afford to lag behind.

The technique Alan had used was so swift and elusive that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Luffy's eyes lit up with realization, remembering how Alan had disappeared and then appeared before Colonel Monka. A smile crossed his face as he figured out what had happened.

The scene was chaotic as the others tried to comprehend what had just unfolded. "Colonel Monka... What happened?" Nami asked in bewilderment.

"Gollum! Colonel Monka was knocked down..." Kirby responded with surprise.

"What?! How could this be? He's the invincible 'Axe' Monka!" Zoro exclaimed in disbelief.

As the smoke dispersed, they could finally see Alan, the "Magician," standing there with his foot on the wounded "Axe" Monka. With disdain in his voice, Alan berated Monka for his arrogance and false glory. He revealed the truth about the past, how Monka had been fooled by the Black Cat Pirates' vice-captain's hypnotic manipulation three years ago, and had merely been a pawn in a grand scheme to escape from Marine's pursuit. The real mastermind behind it all was Captain Crow, who had been orchestrating a brilliant plan to avoid capture and claim credit.

The revelation stunned everyone present, their eyes widening in disbelief. It was hard to fathom that they had been deceived for so long. "Captain Crow is alive?" they whispered in astonishment.

Alan nodded confidently and elaborated on Crow's elaborate ploy. The cunning pirate had meticulously planned his escape from Marine's clutches, and even assumed a fake identity to throw them off his trail. He had managed to evade the authorities and build a new life, even going so far as to infiltrate a wealthy man's household to seize their assets.

Listening to the bizarre tale, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the others were amazed at the level of cunning behind Crow's actions. He was undoubtedly a master strategist, but luck had not been on his side when he encountered "Magician" Alan.

The Marines, too, were astonished by the revelations. It was evident that Alan's account was too detailed and genuine to be doubted. With the location of Captain Crow revealed, Marine was now in a position to investigate further and confirm the truth.

Nami couldn't help but admire Alan's strategic brilliance, even if she found it slightly unsettling. It was a strange twist of fate that Alan had ended up capturing Crow, intending to use his bounty to gain recognition within Marine, and in the process, ruined Crow's plan to become a wealthy man without suspicion. Both Alan and Crow had unwittingly played pivotal roles in each other's destinies.

The tension in the air was palpable as everyone absorbed the shocking turn of events. Emotions ranged from surprise and amazement to admiration and disbelief. The narrative had taken unexpected twists and turns, leaving everyone in awe of the intricate web of deception and strategy that unfolded before them.

Amidst the chaos, Luffy couldn't help but be impressed by Alan's intelligence and wit. "Alan, you're really something else," he said with a mix of admiration and humor.

Alan grinned, a touch of smugness in his expression. "Of course! I am the 'Magician' after all," he replied playfully.

Zoro chimed in with a smirk, "Well, you've certainly lived up to that title today."

Nami added, "It's like you had this all planned from the beginning!"

Alan chuckled. "Maybe I did, or maybe it's just my incredible luck," he teased, enjoying the banter.

Luffy laughed heartily, "Either way, we're lucky to have you on our side!"

The exchange of humor and camaraderie lightened the mood, breaking the tension that had gripped everyone just moments ago. It was a testament to the strong bond between the crew members, who could face even the most challenging situations with a sense of humor and unity.
