In the desert, Crocodile and Ace stood facing each other.

Ace had a slightly playful smile on his face.

Crocodile's face was as gloomy as Ultimate's and he stared at Ace.

"you......"

Crocodile's face was ashen, and he no longer had the expression of having everything in his hands.

His fists were tightly clenched, and his iliac bones made a squeaking sound.

Why, why would this brat know about his past relationship with Whitebeard?

That was already nearly twenty years ago.

After losing to Whitebeard, Crocodile set his sights on the legendary "Pluton".

If he has "Pluton", he will definitely be able to dominate the world and get back everything he has lost.

However, the side effects are also obvious. After so many years of layout, Haki has continued to weaken.

As of now, it is completely unusable.

"It seems that your sense of measure is worse than I thought, Crocodile."

Ace looked at the livid Crocodile, knowing that he was completely right, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

It is not terrible for a strong person to fail. Maybe his ability at the time will be affected, but as long as he has the courage to attack the strongest path, there is still hope of continuing to be strong.

But if a strong person does not believe in himself after failure, especially if he places all his hopes on external objects,

Then, the measure will be weakened to an unimaginable level, even worse than that of a fledgling pirate.

How can I still use Haki with this kind of equipment?

Haki will completely abandon it and cannot use it!

Now targeting "Pluton", Crocodile, this foreign object, no longer has the strength to be a strong man.

There is no longer any qualification to use Haki!

"So what if I can't use Haki?! With the ability of Sand-Sand Fruit, I can still kill a brat like you!"

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Crocodile was poked in a painful spot and was completely enraged. The ability of Sand-Sand Fruit was activated, and his right hand turned into a knife made of sand.

"Desert Sword!"

Crocodile roared angrily, and slashed down the sword Wolf Wolf in his hand.

"boom!"

As Crocodile slashed with his right hand, the sand knife became extremely huge and slashed along the sand towards Ace.

"Bah!"

The huge knife of sand pierced Ace's heart fiercely, but Crocodile's face not only lacked joy, but became even more livid.

Elementalize!

"call!"

The position where Ace was cut open by the Sand Knife started to burn. He looked at the livid Crocodile and laughed playfully.

"You can no longer use Haki, do you expect to use sand to absorb the fire's moisture?"

Ace said playfully.

With the existence of elementalization, combined with Observation Haki, when faced with attacks, Logia users only need to elementalize in advance to render the enemy's attacks completely ineffective.

The attack that seemed to hit Ace was actually an attack in the air.

After saying this playfully, Ace's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

With a harsh stamping sound, Ace's figure disappeared from the spot.

"Whoosh!"

"!!!"

The next moment, Ace appeared in front of Crocodile, whose face began to twitch.

"Armed!"

The jet black Armament Haki completely wraps Ace's right fist, exuding a chilling metallic feel.

"boom!"

Ace punched hard, hitting Crocodile's left arm hard to resist.

"Crack!"

"Damn it!"

Along with the sound of bone cracking and severe pain coming from his left arm, Crocodile began to sweat on his face.

This pain crazily stimulated Crocodile's heart.

Since losing to Whitebeard and leaving the second half of the Grand Line, in this first half, no one has been able to harm him as a Logia user.

Facing those with Logia abilities, if you don't know Haki, you have no chance of winning.

This made Crocodile, immersed in this atmosphere, even more persistent in planning to obtain the legendary ancient weapon, "Pluton"

So what if Haki can't use it? In the first half of the Grand Line, his Crocodile was still invincible.

As long as he can get "Pluton", he will be able to get everything he wants!

But now, the bitter fruit has come.

He is also a Logia esper who cannot use Haki's Crocodile at all. Faced with Haki's extremely powerful Ace, there is no way to counterattack.

Armament Haki can capture Crocodile's entity, but Crocodile cannot capture Ace's entity at all.

In other words, he can only use his flesh and blood body to collide with Ace's Armament Haki and Ace's physical strength king, which is more terrifying than the giants.

And end.

"boom!"

Ace's right fist applied force again, instantly breaking through Crocodile's defense and hitting Crocodile's still swollen right face.

"call out!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The terrifying power caused Crocodile to fly backwards again, leaving a deep skid mark on the desert.

"Bah!"

After gliding for who knows how long, Crocodile stopped in the sand after unloading this huge force with difficulty.

"Damn you kid!!!"

Crocodile's eyes were bloodshot at this time, and the right side of his face had been completely deformed after two consecutive blows from Armament Haki.

The whole person looked like an evil ghost, staring at Ace in the distance.

"Kid!!!"

Crocodile's legs completely turned into sand, turned into windy sand, and flew towards Ace quickly.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile's two arms turned into four huge sand blades. As the sand blades danced, the heartbreaking sound of breaking through the air proved how sharp these sand blades were.

This is enough power to cut through the rock wall.

But..

"call!"

Ace, who had transformed into the element of fire, just stood there quietly, letting Crocodile's sand blade slide across his body.

No, it's not so much the body, but Ace's elementalization in advance, which allows him to perfectly dodge attacks.

Crocodile's attack completely struck the air.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Ace's eyes turned cold.

"!!!"

Crocodile was shocked.

"You who were abandoned by Haki are not a pirate of the same level as me at all.

A cold smile appeared on Ace's lips.

"boom!"

As Ace accumulated strength, his right fist hit Crocodile hard in the abdomen.

"Pfft!"

"Uh~"

The intense pain in his internal organs caused Crocodile to hold his abdomen and kneel on the ground, twisting his body.

Blood flowed down the corner of Crocodile's mouth.

At this time, Robin, who came from the rain banquet, covered his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

The world government uses the power and influence of the Shichibukai, as well as the Naval Headquarters, to work together to maintain balance at sea.

That powerful strength left Robin with no ability to fight against it.

At this moment, this great pirate, whose name alone makes countless people on the sea fearful, has no power to fight back against Ace.

He knelt at Ace's feet, his body twisting in the desert because of the severe pain.

Fa, what happened?

Crocodile, actually helpless in front of Ace?!

At this moment, Robin felt that his world view had collapsed.

"Well!!!"

Crocodile raised his head with difficulty. At this moment, his expression looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

No, a pirate of the same level?!

Come on, what a fucking joke!

He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile!

After traversing the sea for so many years, someone would actually say to him, you and I are not pirates of the same level!

"Stop joking, kid! Just a newcomer to the Grand Line!"

Crocodile pulled out the shell of the golden iron hook on his left hand, and stabbed Ace with the poisonous hook flashing purple light, his face completely twisted.

"Qiang!"

"!!!"

Accompanied by a harsh metallic collision sound, the poisonous hook that glowed with purple light was blocked by Ace's fist strengthened by Armament Haki.

"It's ugly, Crocodile."

Ace calmly blocked the poisonous hook with his right fist that turned into black, and looked at Crocodile expressionlessly.

"W-what did you say?!"

Crocodile looked at Ace with a twisted face.

"I said, it's too ugly, using such a child's toy."

The corner of Ace's mouth raised, and under Crocodile's distorted expression, he grabbed the poisonous hook, and then used it slightly.

"boom!"

The poisonous hook broke in response.

Crocodile's expression changed from twisted to dull.

Why?! Obviously, it shouldn't be like this.

The Utopia Plan should be completed perfectly.

All of Alabasta, should fall into his hands.

The legendary ancient weapon, "Pluton", should be his tool to reach the top of the world.

Why?! In the first half of the Grand Line, a Portcas D. Ace appears?!!!

Crocodile's expression became extremely distorted.

"You have used too many conspiracies, Crocodile Skyrim.

Ace looked at Crocodile, whose expression was distorted and his eyes were beginning to become dull, and the corners of his mouth were filled with amusement.

"Using dancing fans to drive a wedge between the king and the people. He also plans to have his senior spies pretend to be the king to go around and sabotage, plunging the country into turmoil! Rebellions are everywhere.

Triggered a battle between the king's army and the rebels. "

"During this period, use the Baroque Studio you founded to steal Alabasta, and then find the ancient weapon 'Pluton'

"This plan you named Operation Utopia is really..."

Ace slowly talked about Crocodile's plan. At the end of the sentence, under Crocodile's twisted face, the smile disappeared and his face was expressionless.

"boring."

Ace said calmly.

Crocodile clenched his fist tightly, his nails dug deeply into his skin, and blood slowly dripped down his arm.

"What do you know?! You brat! If it weren't for you! All of Alabasta would be in civil war right now.

Alabasta, should fall into my hands obediently!

That legendary ancient weapon ‘Pluton’ should have belonged to me!”

Crocodile was ridiculed for the plan he had carefully prepared for nearly twenty years, and completely lost control of his emotions, roaring at Ace again and again.

"Click!"

"!!!"

Under Crocodile's unbelievable gaze, Ace slowly took out an image phone bug shrouded in the strange light of the Comprehension Field from his sleeve.

"What a wonderful answer, Crocodile.

Aceha

Laughed loudly.

At this time, wherever there is a phone bug in Alabasta.

The picture appeared in front of everyone in Alabasta.

"Yes, did Crocodile use dancing powder?!"

A member of the public swallowed hard and looked at the picture projected by the video phone bug in disbelief.

"King, king..."

"The king has been wronged!"

"I was wrongly accused!!!"

Along with the shouts, the whole Alabasta suddenly began to boil.

The agents of the Baroque Studio who were hidden among the king's army, rebels, and people looked at the picture above with astonishment.

It turns out that Crocodile from the Seven Warlords of the Sea is their boss.

But why, it still fails!

"Your Majesty the King!"

Jaka and Bell looked at Kobra excitedly.

"Well! I saw it, and all the people in Alabasta saw it.

Cobra walked to the wall of the palace and looked up, seeing the same picture reflected by countless telephone bugs.

"That boy is the Ace that Vivi calls him, right? He's such an amazing man.

It is actually possible for all the phone bugs in Alabasta to map the same screen at the same time.

Also, defeated Crocodile. "

Cobra looked at the image reflected by the phone bug, his face filled with wonder.

"Kosa, have you seen everything too?"

Kobra looked at the rebel leader, Kosha, who had a complicated expression on the side, and smiled.

"call!"

Under the surprised eyes of Jaka and Bell, Kosha slowly knelt down towards Kobra.

"sorry, I...."

Kosha wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kobra.

"You love this country too, don't you? 980"

Kobra helped Kosha up and showed a gentle smile.

On a warship passing through the waters near Alabasta.

Smoker looked at the picture reflected by the phone bug with an ugly expression.

"Is he Portcas D. Ace? He actually made all the phone bugs reflect the same picture,

How on earth it was done, Hina didn't understand. "

Li Ying, with long pink hair, looked at the picture reflected by the phone bug and spoke slowly.

"If it were that man, it wouldn't be strange to do anything."

Smoker chewed the cigarette in his mouth and said in a deep voice.

"Sail the boat to Alabasta."

Smoker looked at Hina.

"Smoker, this is Hina's warship. Hina is just sending you back to headquarters.

Besides, what can you do if you go? That man, Portcas D. Ace, could make you faint just by Conqueror's Haki, right?"

Hina looked at Smoker and said.

"If I don't even have the courage to go to Alabasta, then how can I have the dignity to say justice!"

Smoker growled suddenly.

"Sail the boat! Go to Alabasta!"

"...!"

Holding the phone bug in his hand, looking at the picture reflected on it,

The Vivi girls who were finishing the battle and rushing to Ace's location had different expressions.

Vivi covered her mouth and looked at Ace in the picture, her eyes a little red.

Ace, he really did it!

He really stopped the war and saved Alabasta.

Moreover, everyone is still alive!

"Is our captain omnipotent?"

Nuo Qigao looked at Vivi who was a little excited and smiled.

"Um!"

Vivi nodded heavily, tears of joy falling down her pretty face.

From now on, I may have to rely on you, Captain...

Vivi looked at the Ace in the picture facing Crocodile and Haki, and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Where Ace is.

Ace held the image phone bug wrapped in the field of understanding and looked at Crocodile playfully.

Under the influence of the field of understanding, all telephone bugs within a certain range will project the image here.

"You, what are you holding in your hand?!"

Crocodile looked at the video phone bug in Ace's hand in disbelief, his face a little distorted.

"This? It's a video phone bug that broadcasts the scene here to all of Alabasta at the same time.

Just now, what a wonderful answer, Crocodile. "

Taking back the video phone bug, Ace looked at Crocodile and laughed.

Crocodile's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Crocodile's mouth.

The heartbreaking pain struck Crocodile from the depths of his soul.

This is even more painful than the physical pain caused by Armament Haki.

Crocodile's face was twisted, like a demon from hell, looking at Ace with hatred.

"Portcas.D. Ace!!!"
