My grades are getting worse and worse, and my motivation is waning... Sigh...
122. The Undisputed Good Guy Luo Xing, Crocodile vs. Blackbeard
The sound appeared extremely abruptly, without any warning.
Even Weiwei, who was in utter despair, was startled.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw a handsome, tall man smiling at her.
"You are……"
Weiwei asked, stunned.
But then she realized that the strange man in front of her had just said he would help her stop the war.
Vivi was like a drowning person grasping at a straw.
Even if it was the first time she had met Luo Xing, even if Luo Xing was a person with ulterior motives, she didn't care as long as he could really help her!
With her bloodied hands, Weiwei hurriedly grabbed Luo Xing's trouser leg and pleaded in a hoarse voice:
"Help me, help Alabasta, please!"
"I'll do anything to stop this war!"
Seeing Weiwei's pained and pleading expression, Luo Xing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Saving the poor, beautiful girl was a task that a good person like him should naturally be undertaken without hesitation.
and,
Luo Xing doesn't want any reward, he just wants the beautiful girl herself.
This price is fair, isn't it?
A kind smile appeared on Luo Xing's face as he helped Weiwei, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet.
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from Weiwei's ten slender, delicate fingers, saying slowly and deliberately:
"Don't worry, I always keep my word."
Weiwei was stunned.
The man in front of her was really strange. He even had the leisure to wipe the blood off her hands, and he spoke slowly, as if he wasn't in a hurry at all.
But for some reason, it was this calm and leisurely tone that...
This immediately calmed Weiwei's panicked and desperate emotions, restoring much of her rationality.
Weiwei took a few deep breaths and mustered her courage to ask:
"Who...who are you? How...how can you help me stop the war?"
"The mastermind behind this war is the powerful Shichibukai, Crocodile."
"If we can't defeat him, we can never stop the war!"
Vivi is not stupid; on the contrary, she is very intelligent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to infiltrate Baroque Works as a spy for so many years.
She knew that Crocodile was the root of all the conflicts in Alabasta.
Without eliminating Crocodile, it would be pointless to even stop the current war in the capital.
But even knowing this, why did Vivi still cry and try to stop her?
Because she knew she couldn't defeat Crocodile, or even get close to him.
In contrast, pleading with the rebels to cease hostilities had a higher success rate.
Hearing Weiwei's words, which were serious yet tinged with fear, Luo Xing smiled and said:
"I know more about this than you do. Don't worry, I'll handle everything."
He wiped Weiwei's ten fingers clean, released his left hand, and held Weiwei's right hand in his palm.
Weiwei, preoccupied with her chaotic thoughts and bewildered state, did not notice this.
Luo Xing took Weiwei's right hand and led her straight to a high platform.
A magnificent aura suddenly emanated from him.
The royal army and the rebel army fighting below suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it extremely difficult to even move, let alone continue fighting.
At the same time, a calm yet authoritative voice entered their ears.
“If you want it to rain, choose a representative and come with me to the palace.”
The royal army and the rebel army looked toward the source of the sound.
There were two figures, one was Princess Vivi, and the other was a strange man.
The voice they heard just now, and the imposing aura pressing down on them, all came from this strange man!
They were utterly horrified.
Who exactly is this man? His aura is many times stronger than Crocodile's!
After Luo Xing finished speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions and led Weiwei toward the palace.
Both the royal army loyal to Cobra and the rebel army hating the royal family looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were filled with doubt.
What's the matter?
One of the rebel soldiers asked, "Who exactly is that man? Standing with Princess Vivi, is he a royal reinforcement?"
"He said he wanted it to rain, so I should go to the palace with him. Is that true?"
"It's definitely fake! That person must be a conman sent by Kobra!"
A significant portion of the rebel army did not believe Luo Xing's words, but their leader, Kou Sha, was a worldly man.
Kou Sha knew perfectly well that given the man's strength—enough to immobilize them with just his aura—there was no need for him to deceive them.
"Stop arguing!" Kosha said decisively. "I'm going to the palace to see what they're up to!"
The King's army also dispatched its guard captain, Icaram.
They followed Luo Xing to the palace together with Kou Sha.
The royal army and the rebel army that remained in place were momentarily bewildered, having lost their leader, and unsure whether to continue the battle.
……
Meanwhile, inside the Alabasta royal palace at this very moment...
The Blackbeard Pirates, brimming with ferocity, happened to run into Baroque Works, led by Crocodile.
The atmosphere became tense as soon as the two sides met.
Crocodile, with a cigar dangling from his lips and an unfriendly expression, said disdainfully:
"Blackbeard Teach, you little nobody from Whitebeard's ship, how dare you trespass into my territory? Are you prepared to become a mummy?"
"Hahaha!"
Crocodile was already arrogant enough, but Blackbeard was even more arrogant.
Blackbeard grinned, revealing his missing teeth, and laughed loudly:
"Crocodile, it's been almost twenty years since we last met. I still remember vividly the humiliating defeat you suffered when you challenged your old man!"
With his most painful scars exposed, Crocodile's expression instantly turned grim and filled with murderous intent.
He raised the golden hook in his left hand, his lower body turned into sand, and attacked Blackbeard directly.
913 "Shut your stinking mouth forever! You nobody!"
Arrogance and recklessness are Blackbeard's weaknesses.
He didn't expect Crocodile to attack so suddenly, just like Ace had done before.
In particular, Crocodile, having consumed the monster cells, moved incredibly fast, arriving before Blackbeard in the blink of an eye.
Before Blackbeard could react, Crocodile swept him away with a hook.
"Ouch...it hurts so much!"
The pain was twice as intense as that of an average person, causing Blackbeard to writhe on the ground in agony.
"That's it?"
Crocodile, with a disdainful expression, attacked again, intending to finish off Blackbeard.
The most important thing is to interrogate Cobra and find out where Pluton is. He doesn't have time to waste with Blackbeard!
But this time, he was stopped by Blackbeard's henchmen, including Burgess.
Blackbeard got up from the ground, looked at Crocodile, and no longer hid the murderous intent on his face.
Thick wisps of black smoke rose from his body.
"Crocodile, I'll take your place as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Dark acupoint!"
