“…… Not! ”

"Gram...... Mr. Crocodall? ”

The little blue-haired girl was a little grizzled.

She seemed to be choking on the smoke and dust, and coughed several times in succession before she could barely speak.

Klockdahl turned his head to see a familiar figure.

It is none other than the little princess of Alabastan and the daughter of Kobra - Neferuta Livivi.

“？！”

Klockdahl was slightly stunned, and waved his hand away the gravel scimitar, and the feeling of powerlessness came back to him.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the right side of his body was already drenched in blood!

“……”

"Scratched?"

Klockdahl recalls what had just happened.

Anilu is a natural ability, so whether it is the Golden Lion or Lindsay, they must be mixed with armed color domineering in their attacks.

That's probably the reason.

As the aftermath spread, some of the armed color domineering flew out, hitting the right half of the body that had not yet been fully elementalized.

It was precisely because of the "force" of that blow that he "flew" out after being elementalized, and finally landed near the royal capital of Arubana.

"It's really an exaggerated distance......"

Klockdahl had just stood up, but he stumbled again and almost fell to the ground.

"Huh?!"

Sharp pain struck, spilling into Klockdahl's mind.

"Is there a wound on your back? The entire right half of the body is numb. ”

"Tsk, that's really unpleasant......"

In fact, except for the three people in the fight, the impact of Klockdahl was undoubtedly the strongest in the game!

was sent flying here, but only half of his body was injured, and even consciousness quickly recovered, which was enough to prove that Klockdahl had made the best response.

"Whew...... Whew......"

After taking a few hard breaths, Klockdahl was about to continue walking, but was stopped by Vivi, who arrived in the hurry.

The little princess tore her robes and motioned for Klockdahl to sit down.

Klockdahl: "......"

That's fine.

He sat cross-legged on the sand, collecting his thoughts as he took off his bloodstained shirt and asked Vivi to help him bandage his wounds.

He is not the protagonist of this battle, there is no need to fight with an injured body, and this is not his style of acting.

“……”

"Hey."

Looking back at Vivi, Klockdahl frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

"Blown away."

Vivi replied as she bandaged Klockdahl's wounds:

"After Anilu left Arubana, Mr. Bell returned to our side for support."

"According to Mr. Bell's speculation, that huge ball of electricity is the key to the battle of Anilu, so we intend to try to destroy it to share the pressure on you and Mr. Lindsay's side."

"As a result, we had just come to the vicinity of Arubana and were trying to figure out what to do, when we were hit by a violent impact, and everyone was blown away."

“……”

Vivi recounted what had happened.

The more Klockdahl listened, the more exaggerated he felt.

The forces of nature and nature and phantom beasts collide with each other, and the impact is far beyond everyone's imagination.

I'm afraid that the whole of Alabastan will be affected!

Luckily, however, the central desert is far from town.

Even Arubana, which is relatively close, is nothing more than a storm passing through it, and has not been hit by "devastating" effects.

Civilians are mostly hiding in shelters and have not been affected much.

Therefore, in addition to the pirates in the central desert, most of the only ones left are the royal family of Alabastan who are outside.

“……”

None of the above is Klockdahl's primary concern.

He was actually more concerned about the situation in the central desert.

And more precisely, it should care about "them" -

CP0 and CP9 led by Spandyne!

These people disguised themselves as many pirates and lurked in the conference of the strong, but they never showed up!

"Isn't the target of government agents the Strongman Assembly?"

"Then there are only two possibilities—"

"They plan to defeat the three of them in one fell swoop?"

"Or do you want to take advantage of the chaos to find something, such as 'historical text'?"

Klockdahl pondered.

At the same time, Vivi on the side took out a cigar from the coat he had taken off.

He lit the cigar and handed it to Klockdahl.

“……”

Klockdahl was stunned for a moment, then took it, took it in his mouth, and took a slow sip.

"Hoo ......"

The cigar smoke stays in the mouth, and the mellow aroma acts as a comforting analgesic.

Vivi slapped the medicine on Klockdahl's back, and then bandaged it in one go.

“……”

Klockdahl twisted his neck, finally feeling more comfortable.

"How do you have medicine?"

"I was worried that someone would get hurt, and I wanted to help, so I brought some first-aid medicine."

"Good."

Crocodall coped.

Maybe it was because he helped with the medicine, or maybe it was just a casual mention, Klockdahl shook his head and said:

"Kobra has put you on the battlefield, it's a bit of a lack of consideration."

"But Uta and Sister Robin are both ......"

"One is the daughter of a pirate, and the other is a Devil Fruit Ability."

Klockdahl took a puff of his white cigar and smiled darkly.

"Where's you? You are a member of the royal family of the member country and the heir to the throne of Alabastan, what do you compare to them? ”

“……”

Hearing this, Wei Wei was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "Because I want to do it." ”

Klockdahl asked rhetorically, "Do you want to do it?" ”

"Why not do it?"

Wei Wei clenched her little fists and grinned:

"My father told me that what drives us is not what is the purpose or benefit, but the 'idea'."

Klockdahl shook his head again, "Kobra is naïve. ”

Wei Wei was puzzled, "Can't the royal family be naïve?" ”

Klockdahl raised an eyebrow, "Suppose one day, some pirate uses a ploy to seize the country you love, will you still be naïve?" ”

Wei Wei looked at her firmly and said, "I will save Alabastan!" ”

Klockdahl said, "What if that pirate is strong? ”

Wei Wei said: "I will work hard!" ”

Klockdahl sneered, "Dreaming. ”

Vivi blinked, "Why don't you do it?" ”

Klockdahl: "......"

In fact, he didn't know why he was talking so much.

If everything goes according to normal, Klockdahl originally wanted to carry out the "Ideal Township" operation in Alabastan, seize Alabastan as a stronghold, and then go to find the [Ancient Weapon] Hades.

The appearance of primitive man disrupted his plans.

Things have developed so far that finding the [Ancient Weapon] has become his primary goal, and Alabastan is irrelevant.

"Pirates" are a business, and a loss-making trade Klockdahl will not do.

But in short, he didn't hate Vivi's answer in his heart.

Dream of this kind of thing!

Hehehehehehe......

“……”

Taking a deep breath, Klockdahl sat up from the ground.

Things have to be dealt with little by little.

Deal with the [Golden Lion] and [God of the Sky Island] first, and then deal with the agents of the World Government!

Therefore, the primary goal is now close at hand.

"Hehehehehe......"

In fact, Anilu's hard strength is a line higher than that of [Golden Lion] and [Demon].

He was able to fight these two so far thanks to the huge "Lightning Ball".

"In other words, as long as the Lightning Ball is destroyed, the Anilu side will be completely solved......

Klockdal stepped forward, intending to enter Arubana and destroy the Lightning Ball in one fell swoop.

He waved for Vivi.

"You hide, I don't have time to take care of useless people."

“……”

Vivi nodded silently.

The next second-

Ode!

A thunderbolt came from far and near, coming straight to Arubana from afar.

Rumble!

The thunder rippled all around, sending Vivi flying and knocking Klockdahl to pieces!

"Yahhahahaha!"

Anilu was covered in blood and was already seriously injured, but he couldn't suppress his hideous laughter and pretended to be crazy.

"Don't get in the way of God, fools!"

He's going to drive the Charged Thunderball and kill the other two bastards who provoke the gods once and for all!

“……”

Boom la la la......

The sandstorm swelled and reunited into the human form of Klockdal.

He turned his head to look to the side and found Vivi lying on the ground with a serious injury.

"Ah...... Sick of it! ”

Klockdahl frowned and roared, "One or two, all of them are causing trouble for me, I just want to quietly calculate everyone to death!" ”

"Is it really that hard! Yes? ”

Looking at Anilu, who was still laughing maniacally, as if no one was around, Klokdal dodged behind him.

"Hey, God!"

He pinched the back of Anilu's neck and said quietly:

"Did you know that when the word 'god' is coined, there are usually only two ends?"

"Die first, and then be worshipped."

"Or get carried away and then be killed."

“……”

"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
