Chapter 57: Crocodile's Fate
The city of water.
The Water City at this time had experienced an unprecedented war a few days ago.
The Water City was once a joyful and peaceful water paradise, but after the war, it became a mess and ruins.
The streets were littered with broken houses and buildings, with shattered walls and broken pillars scattered all over the ground, and the remaining buildings were mostly burnt and dilapidated.
The air was filled with smoke and a strong smell of burning. The beautiful scenery of the past was no longer there.
Collapsed buildings can be seen everywhere on the streets, the streets are covered with broken glass and wood, and countless rubble and debris are piled up together, forming obstacles.
Corpses littered the streets, including corpses of pirates, sailors, civilians and other identities. Their clothes were tattered and their bodies were covered with scars and blood. The fire of life had been extinguished, leaving only death and sadness.
The shops and restaurants on both sides of the street have been destroyed beyond recognition. The water park that was once brightly lit has become a ruin. The amusement facilities and living areas have been destroyed, leaving only a mess and destruction.
The entire water city is like a ruin, in stark contrast to its former joy and beauty.
The cruelty and destructive power of the war turned the city into a dead ruin, the only sound being the bleak and whistling sound of the wind.
The final winner was Crocodile, who received the design drawings of Pluto.
Crocodile, who got the design drawings, fled from here immediately and prepared to find an opportunity to build the warship.
In fact, the person Crocodile should thank most is Ye Fan.
If Ye Fan had not attracted the attention of some powerful people such as the admirals, then those who participated in the war would not only be pirates with a bounty of 100 or 200 million.
Those who come from the navy are not lieutenant generals or admiral candidates, but admirals.
Although he obtained the design drawings of Pluto, Crocodile also paid a heavy price.
He was seriously injured, and his men also suffered heavy casualties.
Except for the first three people marked with Miss, all the others were killed in the battle, and now there are less than ten crew members left on the ship.
Each of them was injured to varying degrees, sitting slumped on the boat, holding their chests.
Especially Crocodile, as a captain, the opponents he faces are not ordinary people.
The City of Water weakens Crocodile's combat effectiveness somewhat, as the water can hit his physical body.
This makes the natural elemental effect of the Sand-Sand Fruit ineffective.
Crocodile looked listless and even stopped smoking his favorite cigars.
Daz Bonis, also known as Mr. 1, is tall and muscular, with a monk's head, a scar on the right side of his face from below the hairline to the cheekbone, and very thin eyebrows that are connected together.
There was a big dent in his chest, and several of his ribs were probably broken. He was the strongest man under Crocodile.
Almost died in the melee in Water City.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
He covered his mouth and coughed up some blood, but now was not the time to think about that:
"Boss, where are we going next?"
Now they urgently need to find a place to rest and recuperate, otherwise they will really be in trouble.
This injury is not fatal but it greatly affects one's strength. If one encounters danger in this state, all will be lost.
The others also looked at Crocodile. As the boss, he now had to think of a way to help them overcome their current difficulties.
Facing the expectations of his men, Crocodile narrowed his eyes. The casualties this time were very heavy. He thought:
"Let's go to the Sabaody Archipelago."
This result is also what Crocodile thought about for a long time.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. The navy never thought they would go here.
After all, the Sabaody Archipelago is very close to the Navy Headquarters. Who would want to go there to avoid being hunted down?
Crocodile's decision surprised everyone on the boat. Is he seeking death?
As for the design drawings of Pluto, Crocodile had already forced himself to memorize them in his mind.
Just for the sake of the other party, his subordinates whom he had worked hard for so many years suffered heavy casualties, but the result was worth it.
Crocodile stood up, forcing himself to stand up. Looking at the vast sea, he couldn't help but grin.
So happy!
After obtaining Pluto, he is one step closer to his dream of dominating the world.
Just when Lao Sha was looking forward to his dream, accidents always happened.
After the failure of the mission to capture Ye Fan, the three generals still performed their duties.
Kizaru went to protect the safety of the Celestial Dragons, Akainu stayed in the Marine Headquarters, and Aokiji was sent to capture Crocodile.
The main purpose is to steal the design drawings of Pluto.
The World Government’s intelligence should not be underestimated. Crocodile believed that no one knew his escape route.
In fact, right under the other party’s nose, hundreds of years of foundation are not that simple.
As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile naturally felt this pressure.
He spoke cautiously:
"The enemy is coming, prepare to fight."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were resting felt unwell.
Why is there still a fight? They are now on the verge of exhaustion and have finally recovered a little, but now it's about to start again.
They climbed up by the side of the boat and looked at the approaching navy. They had been surrounded.
"Boss, what should I do?"
"We are surrounded. The man seems to be Admiral Aokiji of the Navy."
"It's over. We are not going to die, are we? Help, President."
......
Compared to the noise of others, Crocodile himself did not show much change in expression.
But his heart was in turmoil. Looking at the person in front of him, if he was fully focused, he would not be that afraid of the other person.
It’s hard to say now, I’m no match for him at all.
"Crocodile, you should know my purpose."
Aokiji is not the kind of person who talks too much, and the other party is not the kind of person who is so stupid as to just point it out directly.
The navy on the ship pointed their guns at the people on Crocodile Pirate Ship, making Crocodile feel the danger.
Obviously, the bullets in the gun are made of seastone, which can also pose a threat to users of natural fruit abilities.
There was no need to fight any further, so Crocodile happily threw the design drawings of Pluto to the opponent.
Then they were all arrested and handcuffed with seastone handcuffs.
Led by a naval ship, they were imprisoned in Impel Down and were imprisoned on different floors according to their bounties and strength.
Of course there is also our old friend - Bucky!
After being defeated by Ye Fan and Luffy, he led his men on a treasure hunt.
As he dug, he found the navy's secret base, and then was imprisoned in Impel Down after his subordinates abandoned him.
Because he did not reveal his abilities, he was imprisoned on the first floor.
When King Luffy leaves, that is the moment for him to take off, and also the moment when the Lucky Fruit awakens.
