Chapter 842: Crocodile's Prison
Why did Gajeel appear here? The story began half a month ago...
When he first came to this world, Gajeel was in the rebel base, which was near Nahana. Soon after waking up, he found that he was no longer in Ascalante. This world had no magic and all kinds of strange events.
There was no guild to work for and no Beli to eat, so Gajeel had to live on the streets. Fortunately, those blind thugs who were planning to rob him were kind enough to generously offer their own purses, solving Gajeel's urgent problem.
After that, Gajeel set his sights on the ironware in the rebel base - of course, at that time he was just looking for something to eat and had no intention of intervening in the kingdom's rebellion.
However, for those who were planning to launch a rebellion, the importance of iron... that is, weapons is self-evident. They fought , and although they did not win in the end, they succeeded in making Gajeel patiently listen to the suffering of this country while eating.
Although Gajeel said on the surface that "that matter has nothing to do with me", he actually went to the capital, Albana, to investigate the situation. There, he met his old partner, Lili, who was cleaning up the villains who were doing evil under the banner of the rebels.
After the man and the cat reunited, they planned to continue looking for their guild members, so they came to the rainy land together. Fortunately, they really found Juvia, Marcus, and Levy who had already reunited in the rainy land.
The smartest girl, Lebi, noticed that something was wrong in the country. It seemed that there was a dark force driving the confrontation between the Kingdom Army and the rebels, so a group of people enthusiastically launched an investigation.
After dealing with several groups of billionaires and millionaires from Baroque Works, the group relied on Levi's intuition and Gajeel's evil sense to target Crocodile.
After finding a suspect, the few of them returned to the Rainy Land. Lili, relying on his size advantage, launched a sneak investigation into Crocodile's lair, Yuyan, and indeed found some clues. Then, Gajeel and the others got the news and rushed in to confront Crocodile directly.
Relying on the restraining effect of Juvia's water magic on Crocodile, Gajeel easily knocked down Crocodile who was originally in the room, then put on his coat and sat in his seat, and then... the senior agents came in.
…
Back to the present time...
A strange man appeared in the familiar room, and the person who was supposed to be here was missing. This was the first time Nico Robin had ever been so shocked.
You know, the person he was working with this time was not some random person he had met before, but one of the real Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile! How could such a person be occupied by an unknown person in the room without anyone noticing, and this person was still wearing his coat?
Moreover, she clearly remembered that Crocodile had stayed in this room all night! Just now, when she went to the next room to touch up her makeup for the upcoming meeting, he was sitting here smoking and admiring the crocodiles! !
How did this man in front of me invade this room in just a short time and make the powerful Crocodile disappear? !
"Who are you? Why are you wearing our boss's coat?" Nico Robin slowly stepped back, looking warily at the man of unknown origin in front of her.
However, her questioning confused all the senior agents again.
"What do you mean? Isn't he our president?"
"Sure enough...I was wondering how our boss could be this kind of young man!"
"So who is the president, Miss Sunday?!"
Before Nico Robin could answer, Gajeel took action first. He suddenly laughed arrogantly and even stomped his foot on the table. "Didn't I just tell you? I am your president!"
Nico Robin felt extremely embarrassed, with sweat pouring down her forehead under her bangs. Facing everyone's doubts, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr.0's true identity is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He should have been here, but..."
But why did it become this man? !
When the name of Sand Crocodile came out, the senior agents were shocked again.
"Crocodile?!!!"
"That person is our president?!"
"He's actually that kind of big shot?"
"So we are the pirates' subordinates?!"
"Is this true... Why would the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who are recognized and respected by the Navy, set up such a company?"
Miss Golden Week breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the senbei that fell on the table and took a bite, thinking to herself: "Sure enough, my guess was right!"
"Wait! Wait!! If our boss is Crocodile, then who is the man sitting here??"
Nico Robin was silent for two seconds, then she said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know that either."
Mr.3 asked tremblingly, "Are you Crocodile's son? Are you going to succeed Baroque Works?"
Everyone: “…”
Who is this stupid guy? Why doesn't he fit in with us?
"Hey! The guy with the funny haircut, watch your mouth! Who did you just say was whose son?!"
Gajeel was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of the people in front of him, but Mr. 3's words still made him feel uncomfortable. He immediately pointed to the cage in the corner of the room and said arrogantly, "If you are asking about the uncle who used sand, he has been locked up by me!"
Everyone was startled, and they all looked in the direction of Gajeel's finger, towards the corner of the room. Sure enough, they saw a seastone cage, and inside the cage, there was a person who looked very familiar to them.
It's Crocodile!
However, Crocodile at this moment was very different from the image of the 'Hero of Alabasta' and 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' in their impression. Not only was his nose and face swollen like a pig's head, his expression was tired as if he had kidney deficiency , but he also had no cigar in his mouth and no fur coat on his back.
But these are not the most important things!
The most important thing was that he was locked in a sealed iron box with only his head outside. His hair was wet and he couldn't make any sound because of the steel mask on his mouth. At this moment, he was staring at everyone with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat them all.
hiss--!!
Seeing this shocking scene, all the senior agents present were instantly horrified, gasping for air and sighing in their hearts: Poor Crocodile! !
Although they couldn't see the inside of the iron box clearly, these people knew that Crocodile was the user of the Sand-Sand Fruit, so they quickly realized that since he couldn't transform into an element and break free from the iron box, and his face looked so tired, the box must be full of sea water!
"How is it possible..."
"Hehe... am I still not awake?"
“Hey, hey, hey… there should be a limit to how much you can joke around…!!”
"He was actually killed by a little brat like that? That Crocodile..."
A group of senior agents broke out in cold sweats, rubbed their eyes vigorously, and even slapped their faces with their hands, unable to believe what they saw. When they finally realized that the scene before them was not a dream, they were once again surprised and speechless.
Crocodile was really defeated?! And he was made into this state?!
Nico Robin wanted to laugh at this moment, but found that she couldn't laugh at all. She pressed the hat on her head and said softly: "It seems that the development of things is beyond our expectations, Crocodile..."
Even with his 20 years of dark experience, he couldn't imagine who could kill Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, quietly in such a short time and leave him like this.
Even the Four Emperors, the Navy, and the World Government wouldn't be able to do this, right?
In fact, Robin did have some suspicions in her mind, and the first batch of suspects were the World Government and CP spies because their strength was unfathomable. However, this doubt was quickly denied by her because if it were really those people, they would have arrested her long ago.
What Robin said was true, but it sounded full of sarcasm to Crocodile. When he thought about how he was being taken advantage of by the other party, he was filled with hatred!
"This woman...! When I get out, I will not let her go! ! "
Seeing his subordinates looking at him with sympathy in their eyes, Crocodile felt endless humiliation and shame surge in his heart at the same time .
In extreme rage, he suddenly felt something inside him was broken!
