One Piece: The Magician

Rapeseed Flower Port is a medium-sized port city in southern Alabasta. As a city that mainly focuses on trade, the people of Rapeseed Flower Port are living a pretty good life. However, since the war and rebellion in the country, there have been pirates here from time to time. Come and take advantage of the situation.

Fortunately, the "patron saint" of Sand Crocodile is here to eliminate all the invading pirates.

Moreover, a group of powerful navy arrived a few days ago. They drove away the nearby pirate groups, which made the merchants of Rape Flower Port applaud.

At this time, the leader of the powerful navy was investigating matters related to the "Guardian Saint".

Seeing the wary look on the shop owner's face, Dasqi smiled bitterly, then she bowed and left the shop.

"Colonel Smoker." The blue-haired girl with glasses bowed politely to her boss who was smoking a cigar: "There is still no news about the Straw Hat Boy, and the owner of this store is not willing to disclose it like the previous ones. Anything to do with Crocodile.”

Speaking of this, Dasqi thought of the way those businessmen were afraid that the navy would be detrimental to their patron saint, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Really?" Smoker had an expected expression. He blew out a smoke ring, glanced vaguely at the suspicious people who were secretly monitoring their group of navy, and then ordered to the surrounding navy Said: "Let's go look elsewhere."

"Yes" the navy responded loudly.

Speaking of which, the reason White Hunter came to Alabasta this time was because he intercepted an intermittent call record through a black phone bug. He originally thought he would meet the Straw Hat boy who escaped from him here, but he didn't expect that not long after The Navy Headquarters gave him a new task.

Investigate the truth behind Crocodile and the rebellion in Alabasta.

In fact, as the world government, the Shichibukai are the "legal pirates" of the four emperors. Unless necessary, the navy cannot unilaterally interfere with the personal behavior of the Shichibukai. In other words, even if the Sand Crocodile secretly does evil things , Navy senior officials would turn a blind eye even in the absence of conclusive evidence.

But what the intelligence obtained from the small garden showed was not something the navy or even the world government could tolerate.

I won’t go into the details of that intelligence, but the general meaning is this:

Crocodile couldn't stand the evil rule of the King of Alabasta, so he planned to contact Dorag's revolutionary army to help the rebels overthrow the Alabasta regime and establish a new order.

Haha, don’t you think it’s funny?

A Shichibukai actually became a "partner of justice" and planned to devote himself to the great revolutionary cause without hesitation for the sake of the suffering people. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

This is obviously pouring dirty water on you.

The World Government thought so at first, but because the identity of the Revolutionary Army was too sensitive, they sent some people to investigate.

As a result, they discovered that Crocodile actually played the heroic role of "Patron Saint" in Alabasta, and his reputation was as high as the sky.This abnormal behavior attracted the attention of some thoughtful people, so they continued to investigate in depth and followed the clues based on the information given by the intelligence.

Afterwards, they investigated and discovered that Crocodile had been secretly purchasing arms and supplies from elsewhere over the years to help the rebels. The recent rebellion of the 40 King's troops was inseparable from the private actions of the Sand Crocodile.

Moreover, it seems that Nico Robin, the son of the devil, is working closely with him.And after verification, although the information about the revolutionary army in that intelligence was somewhat outdated, it was all true.

This can't help but make those high-level officials think too much. After all, Dolag's revolutionary army has become a serious problem for them. If Sand Crocodile really joins the revolutionary army, it will be a huge blow to the world government, and even Indelible cracks may appear in the entire Shichibukai system.

Ever since, a wonderful misunderstanding was born.

Crocodile probably never imagined that the glorious image he worked so hard to maintain would become the key to being doubted by senior officials.

"Really, I hate investigating things the most. It's probably time for Tina to arrive, so I'd better let her do it then."

The order from the Navy Headquarters is for Black Prison Tina to come to help the White Hunter after escorting the pirates of the Hungry Wolf Pirates to the G8 Fortress.

Smoker was holding a cigar with an impatient look on his face. He was walking on the bustling street with a group of marines. Suddenly, a restaurant full of people in front of the door attracted the white hunter's attention.

"This store is so noisy." Smoker smacked his lips and walked toward the crowd curiously.When those people saw the navy coming, they quickly moved out of the way, and at the same time whispered:

"It is said that he died suddenly while talking to the boss."

“It’s not like I accidentally ate desert strawberries.”

Smoker walked into this small restaurant and found several piles of empty plates piled up at the front desk. A shirtless man was maintaining his eating posture, but his head in a cowboy hat was plunging into the dishes in front of him. The motionless look on the plate full of food made him look like he was dead.

But the most eye-catching thing is the tattoo on his back.

This dark purple skull logo, among which the beard like a crescent moon is particularly eye-catching.

Smoker's pupils contracted sharply, and the muscles on his body suddenly tightened: "I didn't expect that I found an amazing person here."

But no one noticed that a rubber fool who looked like the reincarnation of a starving ghost was running towards this place following the smell of food.

Outside Rapeseed Flower Port, on a huge naval warship.

Sherlock sat on the chair in the captain's cabin, quickly flipping through the information in his hand.

As soon as the Merry docked, Sherlock left Luffy and others and came to the place where the navy was stationed. For a magician who could become invisible, it was really easy to sneak into a warship with only some ordinary navy guards. .

"After receiving my little gift, the navy prepared a nice return gift for me." Satisfied with the thick information, he put it into the mirror space. Sherlock pushed up his glasses calmly.

The information that Tina obtained from the ship of the Hungry Wolf Pirates in the Little Garden Dark Prison at that time was provided by Sherlock. It contained part of the investigation results of Princess Vivi and Ikarem over the past two years, as well as some secret information about the Revolutionary Army. , and then Sherlock added fuel to the fire with his imagination.

He frantically poured dirty water on Sand Crocodile, shaping him into an aspiring person determined to overthrow the corrupt rule of the world government, and even involved the revolutionary army with whom he had no connection. His purpose was to make him The world government and navy pay attention to this country where the rebellion is taking place.

Now it seems that the effect of this small gift is better than Sherlock's plan. The navy's intervention not only effectively hindered the implementation of Baroque Studio's secret plan, but also helped Sherlock collect a lot of useful information, saving money. It took a lot of time.

After all, gathering intelligence can be said to be a habit Sherlock has developed over the years.

From the beginning, Sherlock was not naive enough to think that the navy alone could stop this rebellion, because without an unforgivable reason, the "evidence" collected by Weiwei alone would not allow the navy and the world government to fight against the Seventh Army. Wu Hai fell out, but by the time Crocodile saw him, it was too late.

"This group of navy is still not radical enough. Is it because their senior leaders are too stable?"

Sherlock closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then took a long breath of relief.

In fact, Sherlock was right. At this time, the navy marshal was the wise general Sengoku who followed the golden mean in doing things. Therefore, even if the navy already distrusted the sand crocodile, they would not go too far without conclusive evidence. Action.ps: If this were left two years later, Akainu would be the marshal, haha.

Putting a piece of roast meat on the plate on the table into his mouth, Sherlock chewed it carefully while thinking silently:

It seems that if I want to drag the navy into the water, I must create an irresistible reason for them.

But speaking of which, the navy's food is really good, although it's still far from Sanji's food.

Just as the magician was stealing the navy's rations without any psychological burden, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the captain's room. Sherlock's expression changed slightly, and then he observed the movement outside through the telephoto mirror.

Why did the remaining navy leave for the city and were still fully armed? Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly, and then the heartless smiling face of a certain stupid captain suddenly flashed in his mind, and he understood instantly. What, I can’t help but have black lines all over my head.

It was really difficult for this idiot to realize that he was a bounty criminal. The magician put his hand on his forehead helplessly and silently blessed the Straw Hats who were replenishing supplies in the city. Then he calmed down and walked out of the cabin. , came to the already deserted deck.

The salty sea breeze blew Sherlock's scattered black hair, slightly relaxing his nerves that had been tense.

Even though he seemed as calm and calm as usual, Sherlock was still very nervous in his heart.

To be precise, except for the Straw Hat boy who was always full of confidence, everyone in the Straw Hats felt as if a big stone was weighing down their hearts, full of pressure.

After all, their enemy this time is not a cat or a dog, but Crocodile Crocodile, one of the seven warriors under the king.

"Weiwei" couldn't help but recall Sherlock's heartbreaking expression on the blue-haired girl who pretended to be strong back in Whiskey Mountain.

Have you been able to survive the past two years like this, Weiwei?But it doesn't matter, the nightmare will be over soon.Sherlock's expression changed slightly, and his eyes under the lenses shone with determination.

However, just as Sherlock was about to leave here to have a round with Luffy and others, a sudden sound attracted the attention of the magician.

"What do you want to do?" .11, who was tied to the mast and could not move, looked at the gun pointed at him in horror: "I am the messenger of billions, you can't do this."

"Stop saying stupid things." The three million envoys who boarded the navy warship while no one was around looked sarcastic on their faces: "We need you to give up a command position."

After saying this, the Millionaire Messenger gave a ferocious smile and lightly pulled the trigger of the pistol.

"Bang, bang, bang" were three crisp gunshots in a row.

"woo"

Thinking that he was certain to die, .11 subconsciously closed his eyes and his whole body shook violently. However, after a while, he found that he did not feel the pain he imagined, so he opened his eyes slightly with some doubts.

"This" Looking at the three corpses lying in a pool of blood, a look of ecstasy appeared on .11's face: "I actually survived."

"Hey~" A magnetic and clear male voice came from behind him, and a man with glasses with three long-barreled muskets floating around him slowly emerged.

"They just said that you are the billionaire elder of Baroque Studio." Sherlock looked at the middle-aged man with two patterns on his face, and pushed up his glasses calmly.

.11 hurriedly restrained his excited expression: "That's right, that's right. Please help me untie the rope quickly. I will definitely repay you well."

"Really, that's great." Sherlock smiled slightly: "The navy is really polite and prepared another great gift for me."

""

Seeing the perfect curve of the strange man's mouth in front of him, .13 shuddered inexplicably, and an extremely bad premonition arose in his heart.
