[Chapter serial series・Lovesickness 17・”Come with me”]
[Hancock flicked his cloak and led Dorag to where Shi Ji was. Big Bear was about to follow when he heard an exclamation from beside him, and Bonnie rushed towards him with tears streaming down her face… The three Hancock sisters stopped and looked back, and even Dorag looked surprised…]
———————————
As the Shichibukai who sits on this island and holds the so-called world’s best swordsman competition, Crocodile is naturally very well-informed.
Back then, the guy made a 100 million beli reward when he debuted. Later, he snatched Caesar’s Devil Fruit on the flower boat in front of Morgans and others, and was chased into the Windless Zone by the Queen of Happy Street… Everyone thought that he had died in the Windless Zone a few years later, and then suddenly appeared in the South China Sea, and he was aboard the ship of the rumored woman country where everyone was pirates!
The boy who was hunted and fled into the Windless Zone, and his so-called female captain, not only did not die in the Windless Zone, but they also infiltrated into the land of women and learned a lot of domineering skills.
More than a year ago, others did not know the good things he did unscrupulously in the South China Sea, but Crocodile knew it.
This guy with a terrifying special ability did not hide his thoughts at all, and as if he was teasing, he exchanged the Devil Fruits of the two potential rising stars of the navy and walked away.
Of course, Crocodile approved of doing something that embarrassed the navy, and he also applauded Giovanna Giorno.
But when he brought his female captain to this resort island, Crocodile was unhappy.
After receiving the news, when Giorno arrived, he first faced off against the eagle-eyed guy and the aunt’s daughter without falling behind. Later, he simply signed up to participate in the swordsman competition under his own name, and later even more For some unknown reason, a man in the street provoked the fish-man pirates, and finally defeated a navy team head-on…
He became even more unhappy, and the cigar in his mouth became less pleasant to smoke.
This is not because he is afraid of the boy named Giorno.
It’s the other party’s special ability that can steal other people’s Devil Fruits. At this point in time, he is extremely afraid of it.
This is not because Crocodile is too fragile and thinks that he is useless if he loses the Shasha Fruit…
In fact, at Crocodile’s level, with such strength and vision, even if he loses the Shasha Fruit, he can still turn around and focus on physical skills and domineering, or even simply find or buy a Devil Fruit again, and he can still be in it. Restores almost the same strength in a short period of time.
It’s just that the Shasha Fruit will have a decisive impact on his subsequent major plans.
What I dream of is hidden in an ancient country of sand? And I happen to be the person with the ability of the sand fruit.
In which country? There is no need to say how much convenience and advantage your abilities will gain.
Is there anything more fateful than this? ? ?
Because of this? Crocodile will not allow his plan to go wrong.
After seeing the unlucky face of Giovanna Giorno today, Crocodile had the urge to leave immediately to avoid all possible dangers.
What the hell? It’s all that guy’s fault…
The gold given is too much!
“Bang!”
The door to the room was pushed open, and a green-haired man walked in. He was holding a phone bug in his hand and laughed loudly at it: “…he is just a man in his twenties no matter what. Just a kid, right? Hey, Morgans, are you making such a fuss? The masters gathered on this island are really surprising! How can a mere Giovanna Giorno do this? What the hell…
“Do you think it is Mr. Sand Crocodile from the Shichibukai?”
The green-haired man turned on the light, sat on the sofa nearby, took out a cigar and rubbed it between his noses, and said with a smile.
“Big news, big news!” Morgans on the other end of the phone kept making noises? “The guys in the Navy have suffered a big blow again. This must be reported well…I heard that Giorno used the life-returning sword skill that Vice Admiral Ghost Spider is good at to defeat him? How amazing? Amazing!”
“…”
Krokdal frowned and listened to this? He glanced at Tezolo very unhappily, “What are you doing here, Tezolo?”
“Haha, don’t be like that!” Tezzolo laughed, “Tomorrow I will see so many masters competing on the same stage. I am so excited that I can’t sleep now…”
Krokdal felt a little annoyed and said with disgust: “Just for this reason, so much gold was spent on inviting that stingy man named Morgans and me, the Shichibukai…”
“Hey! Crocodile!” The phone bug in Tezzolo’s hand screamed, “You know I can hear it, right? What a ‘stingy birdman’, it’s too ugly!”
Krokdal snorted and ignored him.
“Oh, no, don’t quarrel.” Tezzolo said with a smile, “Both of them are the top figures in the world…and I have always been very interested in how the world’s top masters fight. Curious! ”
“Do you want to try it now?” Crocodile looked coldly, and a whirlwind of sand and dust condensed slightly in his hand.
“Don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”
Tezolo smiled nonchalantly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, a ball of golden liquid flowed back up on the coffee table, gathering and quickly condensing into two goblets.
Krokdal bit his cigar and squinted at the scene.
“Come, drink, drink.”
Tezolo leisurely poured red wine into two gold goblets, crossed his legs and asked curiously, “Who is the Giovanna Giorno you are talking about…?”
………………
The sky is getting brighter, the night is disappearing, and the sunshine of a new day is slowly shining on the resort island.
A leading pirate ship slowly docked.
The crew parked the boat and shouted before going ashore: “Hey! Captain! We’re here!”
A red-haired man yawned, disheveled, slovenly, wearing slippers, buttoned up a straw hat and took it out of the cabin, “Huh? We’re finally here?”
His mouth smelled of alcohol.
The vice-captain, holding a pipe in his mouth, lit the match and said, “Unfortunately, registration for the competition has closed and we are late…”
The fat man biting the chicken leg muttered: “It’s all the captain’s fault! There were too many parties and too many drinks along the way, so I was late…”
“What are you talking about? Lucky!” The red-haired captain pressed the straw hat on his head and grinned, “As a pirate, how can you live up to the banquet?”
“As expected of you!” The sniper with an ordinary nose laughed heartily.
“Hahaha!”
“That’s right! Captain!”
A boatload of happy pirates got off the boat talking and laughing.
“The competition seems to have started just this morning…”
“That eagle-eyed Mihawk seems to be on this island too,” the vice-captain said, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
The sniper nodded and muttered: “Unlike the captain, that person will never be late for matters that matter…”
“Because the captain, this idiot, doesn’t care about this game at all!”
“Hahaha…”
“Ignore him for now!” The red-haired man didn’t care about the heckles of his subordinates. He waved his hand, hung his coat on his shoulders, stepped on flip-flops, and led his brothers to stroll around the street. Like a group of hooligans, they said with a smile, “Let’s go find some delicious food and drink first…”
………………
In the morning, the weather is perfect.
The streets of the resort island soon became lively.
However, unlike usual, what almost everyone is talking about today is the “World’s Best Swordsman Competition” that is about to begin.
All kinds of small sword-shaped commodities are selling out.
What’s more, there are also dolls deliberately made to imitate the appearance of some contestants, such as the eagle-eyed swordsman. His dolls are the most popular among young girls.
After packing up, the swordsmen living all over the island also left their residences and headed to the competition venue.
……
To the east, a swordsman from the New World walked swiftly and knocked down a slovenly red-haired man who was laughing with a child at a roadside stall.
The companions around this person burst into laughter. The red-haired guy fell to the ground. He was not angry even after being laughed at by the children, but also laughed happily… The swordsman sneered and loosened his grip on the knife. handle hand. As expected, he is the trash pirate of Paradise, he doesn’t even have the courage to draw his sword…
The pirate swordsman of the new world has a bounty of 260 million beli!
……
To the south, the crowds on both sides of the street hurriedly gave way, and a group of people passed by in the middle of the road talking and laughing… These were pirates led by the daughter of the legendary Sea Emperor Auntie Pirates. His momentum is completely different from that of ordinary pirates!
Especially the two sisters at the head, one of whom is plump and bold, the second daughter of the Sea Emperor’s aunt, and the other, Xia, who wears a wider hat, has a thin and graceful figure, and a thin straight sword slung across her waist. Lott Mond is Big Mom’s third daughter and the most feared pirate “Mrs. Ghost (Harmony)” in this group of people…
The Big Mom Pirates in the New World have a total bounty of over one billion Baileys!
……
There are empty wine bottles on the balcony.
On the street downstairs, Mihawk walked alone in the direction of the competition venue, carrying a black knife that looked like a cross.
……
“I hope that Giorno can give me a good time chopping.”
The tall man with a scarlet demonic light in his eyes wiped the long sword in his hand and grinned while holding a big cigar in his mouth.
Sheathed the sword, turned and left.
Swo, who was recovering from his injuries, clenched his fists and said secretly: “Giorno… no matter how powerful you are, you can’t stop Yuzhiliu’s knife…”
……
At the same time, in the huge and empty competition venue, the large screen for live broadcast and the huge image phone bug used for broadcast were carried out and equipped by the staff.
People from all over the world…whether they are in the first half of the Grand Line, the second half, or on the streets of some prosperous islands all over the world, they have set up huge broadcast screens. Many people have already gathered together to say He was joking and waiting for the start of the swordsman competition that had been promoted in the newspapers for a year.
……

The aunt was eating snacks, raising her hands that were getting thicker and thicker, and said happily: “Let’s look forward to the showdown between Armand’s kid and the guy with Eagle Eyes! Mama, Mama, Mama…”
……
〖New World, Moby Dick——〗
The sons of Yichuan specially found a huge screen and a video phone bug for their father to watch the broadcast.
“Gu la la la…” The huge white bearded man sat on the deck, drinking heavily regardless of his illness. His once golden hair had almost fallen out. He laughed heartily and said, “Sons, you are really interested… Is there a swordsman competition? I wonder what interesting little guys I can see! Gu la la la…”
After speaking, he took another sip of wine. For ordinary people, this mouthful is almost as much as a water tank.
The nurses nearby had a headache, but this was Whitebeard, how could they stop it.
Marco, the ship’s doctor and captain of the first team, smiled: “I heard that the eagle-eyed guy and the aunt’s daughter also participated. It seems that this game will not be so boring!”
……
〖The Great Line, Chambord Islands——〗
The neon lights on the island are flowing and colorful, like a paradise in a dream.
The kissing fish mermaid Kemi, who is less than four years old, is floating on the shore of the sea, looking longingly at the excitement of the islands.
In the park in area 33, a huge broadcast screen has been set up through the video phone, and the staff is passionately introducing the situation of this world-famous swordsman competition.
In the crowd, a handsome old man with long gray hair was wearing slippers and drinking wine in a sloppy manner.
“The guy named Giorno seems to be at the front of the park recently… I wonder if he will participate? Hahaha…”
……
〖Western Sea, Rath Gap Island——〗
The villagers rushed to the town to watch the broadcast of the swordsman competition, chatting and laughing.
……
〖Beihai——〗
Don Quixote Doflamingo, wearing a flamingo-like feathered cloak and unique sunglasses, watched the big screen with his family members.
Whoever wants snacks or drinks, just shout casually, and soon a little girl named baby-5 happily runs over to bring tea and water…
“?????Jie?…” Young Master Don Quixote smiled, “Shichibukai… The navy is letting this competition go so far, which makes people feel… Among the contestants in this competition, there will be Will a new Shichibukai be born from it…????Jie?…The Navy seems to be considering new candidates recently!”
“Young Master, it’s just the Shichibukai. To you, it’s just a matter of picking something up.”
Doflamingo laughed: “But not now!???Jie?…”
……
〖A flower boat——〗
CPO agent Stussy, known as the Queen of Happy Street, put on lipstick, sipped it lightly, and said to the phone bug next to the dressing mirror: “…I know.”
“Kongtiao. Xu Lun… Giovanna. Giorno…”
Stucy smiled at the mirror, placed the mirror on the table, turned around and left gracefully with the small bag in her arms.
……
〖Resort island, hotel——〗
Robin slowly opened his eyes, wrapped himself in a quilt and sat up, his long hair falling down on his shoulders.
After briefly washing up, she looked left and right in front of the dressing mirror, waved her hand to her face, and immediately a “flesh and blood mask” made of petals covered her face, and her appearance naturally changed into “empty strip Xu Lun” “Looks like.
“Kongtiao Xu Lun” in the mirror smiled slightly, and soon heard Lin Qi’s voice outside:
“Okay, okay?”
In response, Robin looked around and found him on the balcony.
“It’s very lively!”
Lynch pointed down to the street nearly twenty stories high.
“Is the game about to start?”
Robin was fully dressed and walked to the balcony, taking a distant look in the direction of the competition venue.
“Yeah, it’s a good weather for fighting!”
Lin Qi laughed and stretched out his arms to hug Robin. Robin hung naturally on his shoulders, and as expected, a feeling of weightlessness in the air immediately arose.
Someone in the crowd on the street exclaimed, pointing to the sky.
People looked up and saw a figure jumping out from the upper floors of the hotel.
“Someone jumped off the building?!”
“No, that’s not right…”
“Why didn’t it fall?!”
Everyone who looked up on the street was stunned. They saw the figure jumping out from the height of the hotel. Not only did it not fall, but it took one step at a time, as if walking and jumping in the sky, flying quickly into the distance. At…
Bah!
Lin Qi held Robin in his arms and walked on moon steps high in the sky, one step covering tens of meters.
Bah!
The wind ruffled her long hair, and Robin had a smile on his face. He had long been accustomed to this man’s willfulness.
Bah!
The two of them passed the distance of a town in almost an instant.
On the street, a red-haired man who was drinking with passers-by suddenly said “Hey”, looked up and saw the passing figure, and said with a smile: “Who is this? He’s pretty awesome!”
“Six-Style Moon Step…” The vice-captain looked at the sky.
The sniper exclaimed: “What a fast speed…”
Bah!
Bah!
Bah!
A series of sounds came from the horizon at a very fast speed. The contestants who had arrived in the swordsman competition arena, the swordsmen of the new world, the people of the Big Mom Pirates, and Hawkeye… all looked up to the sky in unison. Soon I saw two overlapping figures flying from a distance, jumping high with their backs to the sun.
Boom!
The person fell to the ground very quickly, causing a huge vibration and causing the wind to blow in all directions.
“It seems I’m not late…”
Lin Qi smiled slightly and stood up straight. Robin next to him patted the dust on his clothes.
