"do you died?"
Robin looked at Crocodile below who was swallowed by the flames, and was slightly dazed for a moment. Although the damage she caused was fatal, Crocodile was a Shichibukai after all, so could he die so easily
It was less than three rounds of fighting Ron.
"It's not that easy to die. After all, it's a natural type. There's still a breath left."
Ron looked at the blazing flames below and responded calmly.
Without Robin's backstab, he really might not be able to defeat Crocodile, because there is no magic tower here, and his mental power may not be enough.
But Robin's backstab that left Crocodile defenseless meant that this battle was destined to end with Crocodile's most humiliating result.
Use strategy to dominate the world.
In the end, he died on the simplest divorce plan.
Crash!
The dust and sand surged up, barely extinguishing part of the flames, revealing Crocodile's figure.
I saw that his whole body had been burned beyond recognition by the flames, and he could not even stand up. He could only use his strength to hold on to his body.
The scene of Roger, the Pirate King, being executed, the scene of the first half of Domination, the scene of arriving in the new world and challenging Whitebeard and being defeated... Countless scenes flashed through Crocodile's mind one by one, and eventually they all turned into smoke and disappeared.
The thought of dominating the world, the ancient weapon Pluto, and everything else were completely gone.
At this moment, the person Crocodile hated the most was not Ron, but Robin.
Without Robin's blow, even if he couldn't defeat Ron, he might not have died. Even with his natural ability, he could easily retreat in this desert environment.
"Cough... cough..."
"Nico Robin... You will not end well..."
Crocodile coughed up a few mouthfuls of burnt blood, looked at Robin, and said: "So far, you have betrayed countless organizations and betrayed countless organizations. I have also been wary of you, but I didn't expect you to betray me at this time. … Do you think you can ever gain other people’s trust again?”
Crocodile didn't know why Robin would cooperate with Ron, a marine, but he could roughly guess something at this time, because there were only a few possibilities.
“…”
Robin's eyes changed slightly.
However, at this moment, Ron spoke with a faint smile.
"Have you forgotten that I told you why Robin betrayed you? Crocodile... because you were too weak to protect her safety. She was threatened, so she could only betray."
"So I will trust her very much, because as long as I have the ability to protect her forever and keep her safe, she will never betray... I will do this."
Robin looked at Ron blankly.
She had never expected that Ron would say such a thing, and she was even worried that Ron would hand her over to the government after taking control of the Baroque Working Society because he didn't trust her.
She had been wanted since she was eight years old, had struggled in the underground world for more than ten years, and had been used to countless deceptions, but at this moment, she could not see any flicker or guilt in Ron's eyes.
There was only seriousness in those eyes.
Seriousness without any wavering, without any falsehood, without any guilty conscience.
"farewell."
Ron looked at Crocodile, spoke calmly, and waved the wand in his hand.
The violent wind turned into a giant blue dragon, spiraled down, swallowed up Crocodile's body, and completely tore it into countless pieces, scattered in the sand that was burned into lava by the flames.
King Shichibukai Crocodile.
Just die!
Ron put down his wand and flew down to the rooftop of a building with Robin.
Turning his head, he saw Robin still looking at him in confusion, and couldn't help but said: "What are you still doing? It's time to continue implementing our plan."
"… yes."
Robin gradually came back to his senses and responded.
…
In a spacious office somewhere.
Ron took the phone bug and dialed the number of the Navy Headquarters.
"Hello? I'm Kuzan."
The person who answered the phone was not Sengoku, but Aokiji. He was sitting in the marshal's office at the moment, yawning and said, "Mr. Sengoku has gone to Marigio to report on his duties. Just report to me."
"I'm Ron."
Although it was Aokiji who answered the phone, Ron was slightly surprised, but he still spoke calmly.
As soon as he heard Ron's voice, Qingzhi's tired face suddenly changed, and he immediately sat up and said: "Ron, you bastard, what were you doing yesterday? You didn't even answer my phone. Being willful is not what a lieutenant general should do!"
"I know the general story of what happened. The government will give Alabasta an explanation. You just need to return to the branch now. I will help you with Mr. Warring States. I plan to demote you one level." , transfer you back to the headquarters as a major general."
Although he seems to be demoted one level from the branch's lieutenant general to the headquarter's major general, in fact the road to promotion is wider than in the branch.
After hearing Aokiji's words, Ron apologized: "I'm sorry, Admiral Kuzan, what I said yesterday was not a momentary willfulness. I have indeed decided to leave the navy."
“…”
Qing Pheasant fell into a brief silence.
After a few seconds, Qingzhi sighed and said: "Everyone has different justice. You have your own understanding. I don't want to stop you by force, but you must be cautious when dealing with things like Crocodile. Then Guys can’t just solve it on impulse.”
"Crocodale is dead."
"Uh-huh?!"
Qingzhi almost threw the microphone in his hand.
His eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
"Crocodale is dead."
Ron repeated, "I killed him."
Qing Pheasant: “…”
He wanted to stop making such a joke, but there was really no sense of joking in Ron's tone. Moreover, he had been in contact with Ron many times and knew Ron's character.
When Ron said he had killed Crocodile, he should have really killed him.
Thinking of this, Qing Zhi couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.
Crocodile is dead!
Another Shichibukai died. In just one year, two Shichibukai died in Ron's hands!
He did not support the Shichibukai system at first, so he was not very opposed to Ron's behavior, but there is no doubt that the death of two Shichibukai will cause the sea to shake violently, and even cause a tsunami!
"Ron, you are destroying the balance of the three major forces..."
Aoki said with shock and headache: "There is no replacement for Moria yet. Now that you have killed Crocodile, the consequences will soon be reflected. Without the Shichibukai, the pirates who were raging in the first half , there will be many more than now, and the pressure on the Navy will also increase a lot."
"It doesn't matter."
Ron said slowly: "Since the government needs the Shichibukai system so much, and I can't bear to see those pirates having the power to legally plunder, then... let me take on this position."
Qing Zhi's face changed slightly and said: "What do you mean..."
"I'll do it, Shichibukai!"
