Chapter 44 Kuzan: Unexpectedly, I Got It Right!

[Kuzan: "Arara...This is really a surprising answer. I didn't expect that I was actually right!!!"]

[Nico Robin: "Ah, it's really surprising that the boss was defeated by such a guy."]

[Kaido of the Beasts: "Damn, what a joke! Crocodile, what's wrong with you bastard? You were defeated by a kid who didn't even master Haki and didn't go to sea for a long time???" ]

[King the Conflagration: "Damn Crocodile, you are such a waste!"]

[Crocodile: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"]

See the moment the system announces the answer.

Crocodile, completely confused.

Was he defeated by a kid?

Defeated by an imp that couldn't master Haki?

Impossible! ! !

He doesn't know Haki, it's impossible to touch him!

How can he be defeated!

[Douglas Bullet: "You are an embarrassment Crocodile! I didn't expect you to have fallen to this level while I was in prison!"]

[Edward Newgate: "Is the brat who dared to challenge me back then so weak now?"]

[Monkey D. Garp: "Bwahaha... As expected of my great grandson, he can defeat one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea without mastering Haki!"]

[Sabo: "As expected of a man who has inherited the blood of the leader." ]

[Monkey D. Luffy: "Shishishishi... As expected, I will be very powerful in the future!"]

[Portgas D. Ace: "You have a future, Luffy!"]

[Doflamingo: "Fufufufufu... I'm really curious, Sand bastard, how on earth did you lose to a kid."]

[Crocodile: "Shut up, Doflamingo! How could I be defeated by a kid! This answer must be false, I must be defeated by Garp!"]

[Kaido of the Beasts: "That mad dog didn't believe in evil as well."]

[Charlotte Linlin: "But now he has been completely blackened by the big enemy."]

[Douglas Bullet: "Crocodile, you are not going to be as dark as Sakazuki."]

[Marco the Phoenix: "That's not right. He was originally a pirate. If he turns black, he is still a pirate. What's the difference between not turning black?"]

[Queen the Plague: "Maybe after he turns dark, he will become a Marine, or wear women's clothing or something."]

[Crocodile: "Hey, hey, hey, you bastards, don't say anything too outrageous! What does it mean to be a Marine, what does it mean to wear women's clothes???" ]

[Crocodile: "I will say it again, I was definitely not defeated by Monkey D. Luffy! A kid like this who can't even use Haki, I can crush him to death with just one hand!!!"]

When everyone in the chat room was arguing.

The picture that was originally frozen also started to play.

"Now, let's start taking inventory of Crocodile's great injustice experience."

...

Alabasta.

The Kingdom's largest casino, Rain Dinners.

At this time, Luffy, Nami, Zoro, and Usopp came here.

"Crocodile, get out of here!" Luffy shouted, raising his arms.

Hearing his voice, the tourists in the casino just glanced at him and continued to place bets without paying attention.

"I traveled thousands of miles to beat you up, Kroc..."

Before Luffy could say anything, Nami and Usopp punched Luffy on the head and yelled, "How could he get out if you scream like that?"

"The other party is a hero of the country. Do you want to make enemies of all the customers in the store?"

The secret criminal organization led by Crocodile, the Baroque Works, implemented the Utopia operation to dispose of King Nefertari Cobra to take over the throne of the Alabasta Kingdom and acquire the ancient weapon Pluton which is supposedly hidden somewhere in Alabasta, achieving the purpose of creating a "utopia" capable of competing with the World Government. 

 Baroque Works secretly used Dance Powder to cause the capital city to have abnormally high amounts of rain while the rest of the country suffered endless drought. The people did not suspect a thing until it was noticed that other cities were getting below normal rainfall.

Baroque Works agents later brought a shipment of Dance Powder into the country and once in the middle of the town of Nanohana, they faked an accident with the delivery cart, causing the citizens to discover the powder. When questioned, the agents said it was a delivery for the king, making them suspect that their monarch was behind the drought.

 Crocodile won the hearts of the people of Alabasta through the use of public appearances as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, becoming a hero to the people by rounding up invading pirates. This made it so that no one suspected that he was the mastermind behind everything.

Luffy scratched his head when he heard this and asked, "What should we do?"

"Wait, wait, if Vivi isn't here, we don't even know who Crocodile is." Usopp reminded.

"By the way, where did Vivi go?" Nami looked around and asked in confusion.

As Nami's voice fell, the three of them were stunned for a few seconds.

Then they raised their arms and shouted: "Vivi! Crocodile, where are you!!!"

[Crocodile: "What kind of fool is this!"]

[Douglas Bullet: "Now I also feel that there is a hidden reason why you were defeated. Bastard Sand , this guy doesn't look like a normal person at all. He's just like a fool."]

[Monkey D. Garp: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you bastard pirates saying? That guy Luffy has inherited my excellent genes, how can he be a fool?"]

[Sengoku the Buddha: "Idiot! It's because he inherited your genes."]
