Duke didn't want to meet the crocodile, but the crocodile managed to get together, and he appeared alone in front of Duke and Robin on the edge of the nearby port town.

"It's good luck that I just missed out on the two. If you get on the ship and leave, I can't do anything. "Crocodall was in the dust, blocking Duke's path.

"His Majesty's Klockdahl of the Seven Martial Seas is truly an amazing man! I wonder why you're stopping us? Duke frowned slightly, looking at the other party, it didn't look like he was looking for a scene.

"Duke, the 'naval traitor' with a bounty of 800 million Bailey, you are the real big man!" Klockdahl sneered twice: "Take off your mask!" In a small border town, there is no one worthy of your identity. ”

"Oh, I've seen through it!" Duke buckled his mask and held it in his hand, and said calmly: "What, is the great hero of Alabastan here to capture me?" ”

"Heroes? Haha, that's just a clumsy trick to fool people. Rest assured, I have no intention of being your enemy. Klockdahl shook his head in denial, and looked at the shadow beside Duke: "This lady with a mask must be Nicole Robin, the 'son of the devil'!" The two distinguished guests came from afar, and they should say hello to me, so that I can enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

"It's really an honor to be recognized by His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas at a glance." Robin took off the mask generously, and with her own captain by her side, she had nothing to worry about.

"It's you!" Klockdahl's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gloomy eyes could not hide the greed: "Nicole Robin, you really found a good backer!" ”

Robin smiled indifferently and leaned half a step towards Duke's side: "I think so too." ”

"Mr. Crocodile, you came all the way to the door, shouldn't you be here to talk about family life?" Before Klockdahl finished his sentence, he began to hook up with his beautiful crew, and Duke was immediately upset. In the original book, these two are partners, Robin has been a female secretary to Klockdahl for four years, to say that there are no impurities between them, it is purely a superior-subordinate relationship that uses each other...... Who believes!

"Of course it's not that simple, everyone understands people, so I'll just say it directly. I know very well why you came here because of the two who came to Alabastan in secret and made a brief appearance in the royal capital, and one of them was able to read historical texts...... The ancient weapon 'Hades', you've already got your hands on it, right? Karokdal made no secret of his coveting of Hades: "Can you share it with me?" ”

"There's no 'Hades', don't you see that we are empty-handed?" Duke spread his hands, signaling that there was nothing but two swords on his body.

"How can such a huge weapon be carried with you, it must still be hidden somewhere in this country." Klockdahl smiled coldly: "I have already announced it frankly, but you are pretentious, and the sea thief with a bounty of 800 million is not more than Er'er." ”

"Say whatever you want! You're looking for the wrong person, I really don't know where the 'Hades' are! Duke said sincerely.

"Goha...... That's right, but I wouldn't tell anyone else. Klockdahl smiled nervously, "If my guess is correct, you have found the 'Hades', but because it is badly damaged and cannot be activated, you plan to go to sea to recruit a group of craftsmen." Am I right? ”

Duke and Robin looked at Klockdahl in amazement, this thing is really brainy, the analysis is reasonable, and the coherence makes people not know how to refute it.

"Let's work together!"

The crocodile raised his hands, and the golden hook slashed a terrifying spot of light in the scorching sun: "I have secretly controlled this country, I am the emperor of the underground of this country, and no one can go against me!" Whether it's materials, money, scientists, or labor, I can provide as much as you want. After repairing Hades, we conquer the world together, power, status, money...... You can take all of them, but I don't want any. ”

"Sounds great, but we've taken away the benefits, what are you trying to do?" Duke laughed, the crocodile was so stupid that he dared to boast about this kind of deception to children.

"One Piece!"

Klockdahl snapped, "I just want to be One Piece, I don't need anything else." ”

Duke was stunned for a moment, not wanting the crocodile to have such an awareness, and couldn't help but look at him a few times: "I really didn't expect you to value the name of One Piece so much!" ”

"How, you think about it! I control all the transportation in this country, and without my nod, not a single craftsman can get in. Rather than fighting to the death, it is better to benefit each other, after all, there is no conflict of interest between us. Klockdahl was triumphant.

"Sorry! Again, I don't know where Hades is! ”

Hearing this, Klockdahl put away his smile and said angrily: "Don't take yourself too seriously, you think I'm afraid of your 800 million bounty?" If you think so, you couldn't be more wrong. As long as I take control of the country and become the new king, sooner or later I will find out where the king of Hades is. I just don't want to waste my time, otherwise you're not qualified to work with me at all. ”

When Duke heard this, he was immediately happy: "Just because you want to control the country too?" Hahahaha...... Mr. Crocodile, you are so naïve! Do you know what the royal family of Alabastan, the Nafirutali family, represents? ”

Klockdahl's face sank, and he said in a deep voice, "Is there anything wrong with the Nephilutari family?" ”

"You don't seem to know anything!" Duke shook his head and said regretfully: "If I were you, I would never fight the idea of the royal family." ”

Crockdahl's face was fierce, and the gloomy owl asked, "Tell me, why?" ”

"The Nephilutari family is one of the 20 royal families who created the world government 800 years ago, but their family refuses to move into the Holy Land, choosing to stay in their homeland to protect the Hades for generations......" Duke said the shocking news slowly: "The Nephilutali family is the descendants of the Creator!" ”

Thunderbolt in the clear sky!

Shocked to hear that the Neferutari family and the Celestial Dragons are inextricably linked, not to mention Klockdahl, even Robin was stunned. They never imagined that this barren desert country would have such a big king with its unassuming appearance.

"Although the Nafirutali family gave up their identity as the Celestial Dragons and did not become the 'Nafirutari Saint', they have the heavy responsibility of guarding the Hades for generations, and once something happens, many people will bury them together." Duke looked at Klockdahl defiantly: "Mr. Crocodile, do you want to withstand the thunderous wrath of the World Government?" ”

"That incompetent king still has such a background......" Klokdal's face turned pale, but soon ambition suppressed fear, and he sneered: "If I get Hades, the world government can't help me, what is there to be afraid of!" ”

How can a man who doesn't even care about a white beard be afraid of a bullshit world government? On this sea, there are many pirates who are willing to give everything for their ambitions or dreams, and Klockdal I will not retreat half a step because of the world government. Winning the king and defeating the king, he is willing to fight for the sake of ambition!

"Don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Then you are in the yellow sand, looking for your dreams! Duke said, and was about to take Robin away.

With a wave of his hand, Klockdahl lifted a sand curtain to block the way, and said gloomily: "I didn't say that you can leave!" Leave the Immortal King's place, or Nicole Robin! ”

Duke laughed angrily: "The person who dares to ask for me, is it so daring, just rely on your bounty of 81 million Bailey?" ”

Klockdahl chuckled and sarcastically said, "Bounty ...... When did the bounty become a measure of strength? ”

The crocodile's words are very reasonable, the bounty does not represent strength!

Judging by the level of his realization in the top war, his bounty is far more than 81 million Baileys, at least several times more. It's a pity that after becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas, the original wanted warrant will be abolished, and the bounty will never increase, so the crocodile will always have to bear a bounty of less than 100 million.

The crocodile is the first real strong enemy Luffy encountered after going to sea, and when he first appeared, he was domineering and leaky, and his fruit ability was also terrifying. Losing to Luffy can only say that he is unlucky, and people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth.

Nature-based Sand Fruit, which can turn itself into sand and ignore physical attacks. It can also absorb the moisture in the rock or soil and turn it into sand particles, which can be manipulated to produce sandstorms. What's more, it drains the body's moisture and turns the opponent into a mummy.

In terms of ability, Klockdahl has developed the Sand Fruit perfectly, and has good attack power in both melee and long-range combat.

It's a pity that he slacked off in the later stage! He took a wrong fork in the road in the pursuit of his ideals, and tried in vain to borrow the power of Hades to ascend to the sky in one step, which is too ridiculous.
