1020 Go to the New World!

The full name of this island is ‘Davenwend’, an island near Long Ring Island. Before landing, Kuro felt that Crocodile chose this place because it has a barren terrain. After landing, this idea became firm again.

“Why does this guy still want to rely on the terrain to fight? His methods are still a little lacking.” Kuro shook his head.

“Eh? Aren’t you also using terrain?” Leda asked curiously.

Kuro puffed out his chest. “The terrain is different from the terrain. I rely on the terrain. That’s a verb. He relies on the terrain. That’s a noun. However…”

After landing on the island, Kuro looked at the sky and frowned. “The air is not good.”

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his finger and the haze formed by the sand and fog above was suddenly opened and blown towards the periphery of the island. After spreading out, it was diluted and gradually disappeared.

Looking ahead, many people were repairing houses on the roofs and carrying construction materials.

Many of those houses had a big hole in the top. In addition, there were also some deep pits on the ground, as if something had broken out of the ground.

“The battle looks fierce.”

Kuro looked at these scenes that were obviously after the battle and continued to walk forward until he reached the center of the green and sandy area and the huge palace. At this time, the palace was full of ragged marks and several places of the palace were full of smooth cuts.

The door of the palace had also been torn down to a corner, and outside, Crocodile sat on top of the palace, biting his cigar and looking gloomy.

Below, Mr. 1 stood at the door, and a dozen standing hippos were carrying construction materials and repairing them.

“Yo, crocodile.”

Kuro greeted the sky. “Who did you fight with? You look a little embarrassed.”

Crocodile glanced down and snorted.

“With who? In such a place, you actually fought like this?” Kuro laughed.

“Don’t ask the obvious, Kuro!” Crocodile said angrily. “When you called me, you thought that Sam William would come to me!”

Kuro: “?”

‘Sam William?’

“Wait a minute, you mean William came to you? Tsk, you didn’t win?” Kuro raised his eyebrows.

Crocodile certainly did not win. If he had won, he would not have such an expression. He and William fought for a day and in the end, neither of them could do anything to the other.

“I didn’t lose either. If that guy doesn’t continue to fight with me, the winner will be me!” Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, “That William is only 30 million, but he still has Haoshoku Haki!”

“It’s 30 million. 30 million will often do some unexpected things.”

Kuro thought for a moment and said, “But it’s more than 30 million. He made a big mess in Sabaody Archipelago. We gave him a bounty of 100 million, but your battle with him… no one saw it, right?”

“What do you want to do, Kuro?” Crocodile glared at Kuro and said: “It is a fact that I did not win. I will solve this matter myself!”

“Do your Shichibukai job well before talking about it. William is not a straw hat. You probably have some idea about his words.”

Kuro lit a cigar and put it in his mouth. “That kind of strength, if you chase him, it will only increase his reputation, and I don’t like that.”

He only wanted William to suffer, not to increase William’s reputation here. Why should he be able to have a smooth journey and the people he dealt with could increase his reputation without any problems?

But what about himself?

What have we been fighting since we entered the Grand Line?

“You want to fight?” Crocodile asked curiously, “Even if it is someone with aptitude, it is not enough for you to fight.”

He was not afraid of Kuro, but he was also very clear about Kuro’s combat power.

At this level, whether he has aptitude or not is no longer important to him.

Although Haoshoku is an existence that only appears once in a million people, in the sea, it is like a school of carps crossing the river. Even he will not take the so-called talented people seriously, let alone Kuro.

“My fellow countryman, I am very ‘taken care’ of him.” Kuro said meaningfully.

… .

A few days later.

On the sea, several pirate ships were sailing.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

On the deck, William let out a strange laugh. His smile was full of smugness and a feeling of clarity.

Behind him, Elmira, Mont Blanc and Swire were all staring worriedly at William, who was laughing wildly with his hands on his hips in front of him.

It had been almost a week. William had been smiling like this for almost a week. He had been like this since his confrontation with Crocodile.

The first time was fine. Everyone thought that William was happy and it was not a problem for him to smile.

But have you ever seen someone smile ten times in a day and then laugh seven or eight times the next day, and then maintain this state for a week?

Was this blown into his head by Crocodile’s sand?

Elmyra finally couldn’t help but ask, “Well, William? Are you okay?”

“What can happen to me?”

William turned his head and said with a smile, “Elle, do you understand? I fought Shichibukai to a draw. Do you understand what this means?”

“What does it represent?” Elmira was a little scared by William’s smile.

“This means that Kuro is nothing! Everything is just my shadow!”

With a trace of fanaticism, William said, “I have tied Crocodile. If it was not just an experiment this time, I am confident that I can defeat the experienced Shichibukai! This means that I also have the strength of Shichibukai. That is Shichibukai! The top pirate in the sea!!”

As a member of the three balanced forces of the world, Shichibukai is comparable to Yonkō (Four Emperors) and Admiral in the eyes of pirates. Their reputation and prestige have always been high.

Although there was a time when Shichibukai absorbed some unsuitable members, causing their prestige to decrease, from one day, after Crocodile rejoined, Shichibukai’s prestige seemed to have returned.

In the current Shichibukai, even the newcomer Rudolph has full prestige because he has captured many pirates. No matter how famous these pirates are, none of them are good in his hands.

If he can tie with Crocodile, it means that Shichibukai has nothing to fear. If Shichibukai is not afraid, then Kuro is not afraid either!

I have the qualifications to become a great pirate!

Next, we just have to do this!

“Let’s march into the New World!”

William looked up at the sky. “Nothing in this world can stop us!”

Everything is fake!

Kuro is a fake, just my childhood shadow!

Shichibukai is nothing!

The Admiral and Yonkō (Four Emperors) are very strong, but he is not without self-awareness. Why did he have to fight them?

The New World is also very broad. Anyway, I have to go to the New World in the end. First, I will make a name for myself there, and then I will find a territory in the New World to stabilize. Then, I will look at the current situation of the New World and decide what to do.
