"Bang." The next second, Crocodile's face was sunken dramatically. He was knocked unconscious by the blow and flew backwards.

Les chased after him with the knife, not wanting to give Crocodile time to react.

"Wait, Les, spare his life."Smoker suddenly said.

Les didn't stop and grabbed Crocodile's throat. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Les frowned and looked at Smoker:"Give me a reason."

Smoker's feet turned into smoke and floated in the air. He explained with a serious expression:"He has committed a serious crime. According to the rules, he needs to be taken to the underwater prison and sentenced to life imprisonment."

Les curled his lips:"For such a scum, I think it's better for him to die now."

Les increased the strength in his hand, and Crocodile's face turned ashen.

"Wait, Les, I know that such a person should not be alive, but if he is killed, his devil fruit will be born randomly in the sea. If it is eaten by someone who yearns for evil, another Crocodile will appear. If he is imprisoned in the underwater prison, this will not happen, and there are horrific punishments in it. Believe me, his experience in there must be worse than death."

"Oh, that does make sense." Rice lowered his eyes and pondered in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't like Crocodile very much. No matter how he whitewashed himself later, it was an indisputable fact that he killed countless people in Alabasta.

But Smoker's words reminded him of another interesting idea.

That is to put fruits in the seastone prison, and then kill the people with devil fruits inside. Will the devil fruits attach to the fruits?

After thinking for a moment, Rice nodded to Smoker and said,"Okay, Smoker, I'll leave this guy to you."

Rice said and threw the unconscious Crocodile over.

Smoker breathed a sigh of relief. He was not abiding by the rules of the navy, but this approach was indeed the best way to catch a strong man with a devil fruit.

Smoker took Crocodile and took out the seastone handcuffs he carried with him and handcuffed them on Crocodile's hands.

Rice lowered his eyes and thought to himself, let's try it first. If it works, Crocodile's ability is not bad.

"Great, Crocodile was defeated!" Weiwei was overjoyed and her heart was pounding.

"What, Crocodile was defeated just like that?"Usopp still couldn't believe it, even though he witnessed the whole process.

"This man is so strong." Sanji exclaimed

"His swordsmanship is better than mine, maybe I can challenge him." Zoro murmured.

Nokiko and Nami looked calm, but the pride in their eyes showed their unrest.

"What? It's over before I even started. But it's not bad. Luffy grumbled in dissatisfaction, and then he became happy again. Smoker and Rice slowly fell down and landed on the ground.

""Father!" Vivi ran over anxiously and looked at Cobra with a worried look.

Cobra looked a little pale, and smiled kindly at Vivi:"I'm fine, Vivi."

Vivi's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't know whether she was happy or distressed in her heart.

"You said you were fine, but you just vomited blood."

Cobra smiled awkwardly, turned around and saluted Les and Smoker.

"Mr. Rice, um, thank you for saving me, warrior."

Cobra's eyes were mainly focused on Rice, his eyes full of gratitude.

He knew about Rice a few days ago, and was grateful for the contribution Rice had made to his people.

When he was in Crocodile's hands, he also knew that it was Rice who destroyed Crocodile's plan and was the great hero who avoided the killing of millions of people.

Finally, in the battle just now, it was almost Rice who defeated Crocodile alone.

All of this made Cobra extremely grateful to Rice and admired him sincerely.

Looking at Cobra's eager eyes, Rice couldn't help but feel a little chilly. This Cobra would not have a long-yang relationship, right?

""Father, this is Colonel Smoker." Weiwei reminded quietly. After all, he is a naval colonel, and it would be bad to offend him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Colonel Smoker." Cobra said apologetically.

Then Cobra said to Rice:"Mr. Rice, I heard about your deeds a few days ago. Thank you very much for your assistance to our people. Now you are taking a huge risk to save me. I really don't know how to thank you." After Cobra finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Rice, his eyes full of admiration and emotion.

"Congratulations to the host, Cobra's favorability towards the host has reached 80 points"

"Congratulations to the host, Weiwei's favorability towards the host has reached 80 points"

"Congratulations to the host, Bell's favorability towards the host has reached 80 "

"Congratulations to the host, Jiaka's favorability towards the host has reached 80."

The system prompt sounded continuously, and Rice's face remained calm. He waved his hand and said righteously:"It's nothing, I'm just doing what I think is right."

"Thank you, Les."Weiwei is grateful.

"Mr. Rice, I will always remember your kindness to Alabasta."Gaka said with a serious face and firm eyes.

"Me too." Bell also said

"You are too polite, this is nothing."Les smiled

"Mr. Rice, excessive modesty is pride, hahaha, okay, no more politeness, let me treat you all today. Mr. Rice, please be sure to attend."Cobra said generously

"Actually, we didn’t help at all." Du Mei said embarrassedly.

"Of course not, I already knew from Weiwei's letter that she hasn't thanked me for saving my daughter's life yet." Cobra said with a smile

"Great, I want to eat meat."Luffy was very happy and jumped up happily.

Just when the atmosphere was full of joy, an untimely voice sounded

"I won't go. After all, it's better for the navy and the pirates not to be in the same room."Smoker said lightly.

Smoker carried Crocodile and walked away."Tashigi, let's go."

""Yes." Tashigi agreed and followed Smoker.

Cobra was stunned, but did not force it.

Zoro and Sanji were worried. This navy was not a good person. Now that they had no common goal, they would not come to arrest them.

"Luffy, why don't we go first? Seeing that Luffy was still immersed in the joy of eating meat without noticing, Zoro had to remind him.

"Why, eat the meat before leaving?" Luffy pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Mr. Warrior, you have protected me all the way, please let me express my gratitude."Weiwei said

"The Navy won't let us have such a leisurely dinner, Miss Vivi." Sanji sighed.
