One Piece: The Magician

In Sand Crocodile's exclusive cell.

At this time, this dark stone room was no longer as lively as before. Sherlock and others as well as several killers from Baroque Works had already left, leaving only two men.

Crocodile sat cross-legged in the same position where he had been before, with a calm expression unique to him after relief.

Even though the prison door has been opened for him, and even though there is no sea floor stone to restrain his ability, judging from the performance of Sand Crocodile at this time, he has no intention of escaping from here.

"Why don't you run away with everyone?"

.1 With his hands folded across his chest, he stood upright beside the sand crocodile like an iron tower.Regarding the unbelievable behavior of the crocodile boss, the user with the quick-cutting fruit ability said that he couldn't understand it.

"Why, there are so many whys in this world."

"If you really want to say why I refused to escape, it's because it made me feel a little uncomfortable."

After explaining the reasons for his willfulness in a calm tone, Crocodile turned to glance at the tall man next to him and asked a little strangely: "It's you, why don't you just go with us?"

"".1 remained silent.

"Humph, then do whatever you want." Seeing that the former didn't answer, and Sand Crocodile didn't care at all, he looked away and closed his eyes to rest.

huh~~~

A breeze blew suddenly in some empty and dark cells. This abnormal phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of Sand Crocodile and .1. As the breeze blew by, a petite figure slowly emerged from the air. Slowly emerged.

Black and white twin ponytails, a skull-shaped eyepatch on the left eye, a red and black gothic dress, and a specially customized navy cloak.

Who is he if he is not the enemy of nature?

Who is this little girl? Wait, the rank on her clothes is rear admiral.

Seeing the military rank on the visitor's clothes, .1 was initially shocked by Alan's strange way of appearing. His muscles subconsciously tensed up, but then he realized that he was already a prisoner of the navy, and relaxed again. Come down.

The enemy of nature never expected that she would also be stationed in this fortress.Seeing this twin-tailed lolita major general, the last bit of entanglement hidden in Crocodile's heart suddenly disappeared.

Because the Sand Crocodile knew very well that as long as the natural enemy of this natural ability user was present, he, the Sand Fruit ability user, would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.

o

"Hey, why are you still here? I thought you were planning to run away with them."

Alan looked around at the sand crocodile sitting on the ground with very surprised eyes, chuckled, and continued: "Well, I don't know why you suddenly became so honest, but you did make me save money. You've done a lot of things, so let's take this as my reward for you."

As he spoke, the expired loli took out two cigars from his pocket like magic, lit them, threw one to Crocodile, and stuffed the other into his mouth.

Sand Crocodile was very polite after taking the cigar. He inhaled hard and then slowly blew out a smoke ring with a relieved look on his face. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the quality of this cigar.

In this way, the two cigar lovers began to smoke cigars in prison silently, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

""Looking at the big one and the small one who were puffing away, .1 looked confused.

Why is this little girl about the same age as SS. Golden Week actually smoking a cigar? Is she familiar with the crocodile boss? And why is the crocodile boss so calm?

Hu lightly blew out the cigarette, Major General Alan didn't even look at the silly big guy who was alone and disheveled, and smiled at the Sand Crocodile: "How about it, the taste of this cigar is not bad, it is a gold product of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. Cigars are not available to ordinary people.”

"Of course, you, a guy who is about to be sent to Impel Down City, don't talk about cigars. I'm afraid you won't be able to smoke leaves in the future. Tsk, tsk, how pitiful you are."

Alan smacked his lips in pretense of regret, and then continued in a bewitching tone: "So, you really don't plan to escape? It's very scary to push into the city~~~ There are a lot of hungry and thirsty Jailer Beasts. "

Judging from his tone, this Loli major general seemed to hope that Crocodile would escape from prison.

The sand crocodile was completely unmoved: "How come you, the navy, will ignore me when I escape from prison?"

"That's naturally impossible. If I really let you, the former Shichibukai, successfully escape from prison, there will be many annoying guys who will come to trouble me." Alan smiled and waved his hand.

"What I mean is, you run out and have fun first, and then I catch you. You know, catching an escaped prisoner is a big feat, especially for a heavyweight prisoner like you. Maybe that Sengoku guy will be happy He no longer cares about me pulling the tail of his pet sheep. Maybe he will reinstate my officer. The salary of a lieutenant general is much higher than that of a major general."

Moreover, it seems that there are others who have similar ideas.

Thinking of the series of abnormal actions of Major General Black Crow before, Alan's lips curved into a playful smile.Although the behavior of this expired loli is quite nonsensical on weekdays, she has lived for so many years after all, so she naturally views the problem more thoroughly.

"Humph"

The Sand Crocodile snorted and threw away the burned out cigar: "If you really want to make a contribution, why don't you catch the Straw Hat Kid and the Magician?"

"Are you worried about the sorcerer's sister?"

Crocodile stared at Major General Alan closely, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "And if I remember correctly, apart from the Pirate Empress, the other silver-haired companion back then was you, the natural enemy."

o

This was the second time that the sand crocodile made Alan show this surprised expression, and the interval between these two times was very short.

"Hey, why do you even know that the magician is her brother? This matter should be quite confidential."

Alan's amber right eye narrowed slightly and continued: "But you seem to have made a mistake about something. Although the relationship between Silver Hair and I is not bad, I, a marine, have never been her pirate companion. If it weren't for the fact that I owed someone a favor, I wouldn't have led them to the old man with the white beard."

"As for her brother, whether to catch or release depends entirely on my mood. As long as I can try to ensure the boy's personal safety, it is enough."

"By the way, her brother is quite polite." Thinking of the large bag of gold that she had confiscated from the Meili before, and the various benefits that the magician had promised her, the expired lolita had a look on her face. His smile became even brighter.

Uh, what on earth are they talking about? Standing aside and listening, 1 swallowed his saliva with a confused look on his face.

"Okay, just stay here honestly for now, I'll leave first."

"I want to see how those guys are going to escape from the iron walls of Nabalon Fortress, which is guarded by tens of thousands of naval soldiers."

Ignoring the thoughtful-looking Sand Crocodile, Major General Alan turned and walked toward the door.

"Oh, that's right." The expired Loli who was about to step out of the stone room suddenly stopped as if she remembered something, turned back and whispered to Crocodile:

"If you change your mind, you are welcome to escape from prison at any time~~~Hehehehe."

Major General Alan gave Sand Crocodile a "you know" look with a smile, waved his hand, and then left without looking back.

""

Looking at the open door, the muscles on Crocodile's face twitched violently several times, and even his centipede-shaped scar trembled three times.

To be continued.
