Chapter Twenty-Four: A Boring Battle
The camera pans back to the Dragon Sea, where Krokdal is walking slowly behind Nami. www.biquge.info As for what Crockdahl said, the problem of taking Nami there, for an uncle who is extremely unfamiliar with the terrain, this is a problem that needs to be ignored!
Closer to home, Nami was trying to speed up, hoping to get to Aaron's side as soon as possible, but no matter how hard she tried, her speed was still turtle speed in the eyes of Crockdahl! Sure enough, the gap between combatants and non-combatants is so wide everywhere.
"Hey~Little Nami, let the uncle carry you~" Crockdahl whispered, the lewd nature undoubtedly exposed.
"Don't! If you let the lewd uncle hold it, you will definitely be studied, the bust is a few cups! I hate it!" Nami sternly refused, and a blush appeared on her face. Obviously, I have experienced this firsthand.
"Ahh......h How can Uncle be lewd? That's kind, that's amiable!" Crockdahl squinted, and there seemed to be a trace of fragrance in his hands, the silky touch...... Eh, what's the nosebleed? And this feels ......
"Kidney loss ......"
"Ahh
"It's nothing!" Crockdahl hurriedly made a decent gentleman's appearance, this little thief cat, it is not shallow!
Oops...... The egg hurts again......
"Hey, uncle, hurry up, it's so slow~" Nami grimaced and playfully stuck out her tongue, making Crockdahl, who had to stop because of the pain in his eggs, extremely depressed.
"It's not a problem, is it?
"Oh, no! I can't go wrong with my eyes closed for eight years walking this way every day!" Nami argued, and then walked with her head down, looking puffed out. From an angle that Crockdahl couldn't see, his expression was a little stunned, eight years, that was the most painful memory. If you had a choice, you would rather not remember this path......
"Oops, didn't you say you couldn't go wrong?, where is this going?" Crockdahl shouted as he looked at Nami in front of him, his back a little gloomy.
"Ahh......h
"I hate Uncle!" Nami turned around with a fist of punishment, and neither Luffy, Zoro, nor Crockdahl could avoid a large bag on top of their heads.
"Ah......h
"Little Nami, don't you know the preciousness of this cigar? This is a Havana cigar! Uncle, I'm not that smoker from Smoker, I can never finish smoking the cigar in my mouth! It's all money!"
"Haha~ no matter!haha......" Nami laughed briskly, ran a few quick steps, and turned back to Crockdahl and grimaced. Thank you, uncle...... I'm in a much better mood!
"Ahh
"No, you'll be lewd!" Nami shouted without looking back.
"Damn!
……
After many years of wandering on the sea, Nami's skills are still good, at least much stronger than ordinary pirates. If she does become a pirate, it is estimated that the bounty will be in the millions. But even so, after running as hard as he could, he was already out of breath when he reached the periphery of the Aaron base. And looking at her appearance, there are obvious signs of detachment, and the sweat all over her body is dripping, wetting the ground. The body was trembling a little in the slight sea breeze.
Seem...... It's not just the prostration caused by being too tired, it seems to be more of a nervousness, is it because of the life level that you are going to face?
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, if Luffy can't handle it, there will be me. Crockdahl walked over and gently embraced Nami into his arms, comforting her.
It seems to be saying to Nami, and it seems to be saying to herself, "Aaron......? But getting rid of him can sell a big favor...... Hehe......"
"What?" Nami looked up confusedly.
"Hehe, it's nothing ......" Crockdahl didn't want to say more, patted Nami on the shoulder, shook his coat, and walked towards the interior of Aaron's base.
Entering the area of Aaron's base, you can see fallen fishmen or villagers of Cocosia Village on both sides of the road. Although there are many villagers, what I didn't expect is that the angry villagers can also fight with the fish. But...... Aren't these villagers still in the village just now, how can it be...... Teleportation?
Moreover, what gave these villagers courage and resistance? faith, perseverance, or ...... Bastard, what the hell is it for!
Isn't the essence of this world a betrayal? Only you can believe in yourself, right?
Crockdahl couldn't help but feel his mood agitated, as if what he was holding on to was a little shaken. I remembered what the man who stood at the top of the world once said to him: "Your essence is kind, sand crocodile boy! This is something that can never be changed!" Kuhahahahaha......
"Edward Newgoth 'Whitebeard'......" Crockdahl raised his right hand, forming a cyclone in his hand, "you bastard...... I'm not a good coward, I'm the wicked 'Sand Crocodile' Sir Crockdahl!"
"Desert Golden Sword!"
Four sand blades come out of the ground, dividing the ground and sand and gravel along the way into two. Until the sand blade was exhausted, the wall of the Aaron base headquarters in the distance was broken through four gaps. Inside, Luffy and the others are fighting hard.
"Sure enough, if you look at it like this, your sight is good!"
……
The headquarters of the Aaron base is a high walled area, where the elite of the Fishmen and the Fishmen cadres live. In addition to the accommodation of these people, there are also conference rooms, cartography rooms, treasure rooms and other rooms inside the walls, especially the cartography room, which is Nami's bond here.
Because of the nature of the fish people, they can't do without water. If you leave the water for too long, the skin will become dry and cracked, although because of the presence of the water film on the body, it will not be dried alive, but it is not a comfortable experience for these fish people, so the average fish people will choose to stay in the water for a while every day.
The huge pool in the middle of the base is for them to soak in. The water in the pond is a salty water that connects to the ocean on the outskirts of the island, and in addition to providing them with a place to play, it is also a strategic facility for them to easily enter and exit. Just jump into the pool and you can go straight to the ocean. Whether you're meeting an enemy or escaping, the fish-people who can roam freely in the sea have a huge advantage.
At the entrance to the base's fence, a group of scarred and exhausted villagers were blocking it, shouting and asking the people at the door to get out of the way, and they were going to fight the fish people to the death.
Crockdahl turned into a fine puff of sand and floated gently through the crowd. At the end of the crowd, Johnny and John were covered in wounds and blood, and their legs were trembling, but they were still holding their knives and firmly blocking the doorway.
"Mr. Swordsmen, please get out of the way!" shouted the villagers.
"Mr. Swordsman, thank you for helping us defeat those abominable fishmen, but don't block the way! We don't want to hurt you, get out of the way!
"Mr. Swordsman, get out of the way!
"Have you betrayed, have you joined the pirates!" there were all kinds of voices in the crowd, and even voices questioning them.
"Ahem...... We...... We promised Nami-sama that we wouldn't let you pass......" Johnny said, coughing a few times.
"It's not a battle of your level!" exclaimed John, who was less wounded.
"But...... We can't just watch......"
Johnny and John glanced at each other, gently pushed the crooked sunglasses, posed a pose that he thought was handsome, but in Crockdahl's opinion, he was very silly, and said, "It's good to watch it here! Our Straw Hat Pirates will beat that bastard Aaron away!" At this moment, the two dragon characters also rarely appeared in a domineering scene.
"Is this the house? Is this the house? Is it the house that has detained Nami for eight years? Just tear it down! I'm going to destroy everything that hurt Nami!" As if in response to the words of the two, Luffy's loud shouts rang out from the base, and then Luffy's feet were seen sticking straight out into the sky......
"Rubber, rubber, tomahawk!"
Luffy's feet slammed down, along with the ruined drawing room and the bond that had firmly locked Nami for eight years...... Nami, who had just arrived, couldn't help but cover her mouth tightly, tears streaming out of her eyes......
Crockdahl watched the battle in silence as he raised a cloud of wind and sand to protect the villagers of Cocosia. Unlike Nami's nervousness, his face was indifferent, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. However, for Luffy and the others who were fighting fiercely, the villagers and others who were nervously watching the battle did not notice his expression.
"Boring battles...... Crockdahl thought, trying to resist the urge to yawn. No matter how fierce the battle in front of him is, it can't arouse his interest at all, after all, it's not at the same level at all! Even if Luffy is favored by the "red-haired" Pilgrims, and at the same time has the potential to be domineering, he is really too weak now.
If you want to wait for him to level up according to the established path, I really can't wait, why don't you give him some experience like some bosses, after all, Luffy is the best lever to leverage the situation in the new world......
The sleepy-eyed Crockdahl's mind no longer knew where it had drifted......
