(In order to prevent readers who have not read the original work or have not read it for a long time from not understanding it, this chapter contains an introduction to part of the power system.)

"The situation is a mess."

Tang Sen put down the newspaper and rubbed his eyebrows.

Usurping the country is not a simple matter. Sand Crocodile Crocodile has been planning on this land for a long time. On the one hand, he continues to improve his status in the eyes of the people as a disguised protector, and on the other hand, he secretly instigates civil war in an attempt to

Through war, he will kill all the royal family, officials, soldiers and all those who can fight in Alabasta, and then re-establish the country with his high reputation and rule this land.

It has to be said that although Crocodile's plan is vicious, it is considered comprehensive. In the original work, if Luffy hadn't disrupted the situation, he might have been able to successfully usurp the country.

But this plan is only suitable for Crocodile, not for myself.

I don't have so much time, nor do I have the power to suppress this land as powerful as the other party.

There is no need to gain a fragmented kingdom at the cost of so many lives.

"Fortunately, I still have the characteristics of the Mark of the Dark Lord."

"If I pretend to be the king of Alabasta, I can easily gain the loyalty of the kingdom's top brass. If I control the kingdom's top brass, I will naturally be able to cannibalize the entire kingdom."

"The premise is that I must first stop and control Crocodile, stop the other party's plot, and maintain the stability of the situation. Otherwise, even if everyone in the country is given the mark of the Dark Lord, it will have no meaning."

"Think about it, if he hadn't been worried about attracting the attention of the world government and the navy, he wouldn't have had to plan for so long. He could have easily destroyed Alabasta and massacred everyone here by himself."

"Number of people means nothing to him."

This world is like this. Ordinary people have no choice but to despair in front of the strong. There will never be any ants that can kill an elephant. Even if a truly strong person stands still, ordinary people will have nothing to do with him.

Method.

Crocodile is not considered a top powerhouse. Almost all of his power relies on his Devil Fruit ability, but in the land of Alabasta, his Devil Fruit ability is already insurmountable.

Natural Devil Fruit, Shasha Fruit.

Devil Fruits are roughly divided into three categories: superhuman, animal and natural.

Superman Devil Fruits can give people various magical abilities, many of which can even be called regular. For example, the Shock Fruit owned by Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, is a Superman Devil Fruit. He can

The punch directly shattered an island into pieces.

The animal-type Devil Fruit is said to allow people to transform into animals and gain powerful physique and strength. Moreover, in addition to ordinary animals, such as cats and cows, there are also rarer phantom beast species and ancient species, such as

It is said that Kaido, one of the four emperors, possesses the fish fruit of the animal type phantom beast species, the phantom beast species, and the blue dragon form, which allows him to directly transform into a dragon and control the wind and rain.

As for natural devil fruits, this is the most incomprehensible category for ordinary people.

A person who eats a natural devil fruit can "element" his body. For example, Crocodile's body can turn into sand. No matter whether it is swords, fists, feet or guns, it cannot hurt him in the slightest.

Not only that, he can also control the power of sand, easily dry up the earth and turn it into a desert, set off huge sandstorms at will, and even easily suck the moisture out of the human body and turn the opponent into a mummy.

Of course, the natural devil fruit is not unsolvable. In addition to the sea floor stone that can restrain those with abilities, strong men who have mastered the armed color Haki can also ignore the characteristics of the natural type and attack the opponent's true body.

Haki is a power system unique to the One Piece world, and is also divided into three categories: armed-color Haki, knowledge-color Haki and overlord-color Haki.

Armed colors can harden the body, increase defense and attack power, and when practiced to a high level, can even wrap around foreign objects, or directly attack.

Seeing and hearing colors can enhance perception, predict the opponent's movements, and with advanced practice, you can even predict the future and listen to the sounds of all things.

Overlord-colored Haki is even rarer. People with Overlord-colored Haki can directly frighten the weak and make them fall into coma. Of course, top-notch Overlord-colored Haki can even be condensed into substance and entangled in attacks, causing unparalleled destructive power.<

/p>

The famous teacher Kaido once said that domineering overpowers everything.

For those who have cultivated Haki to the extreme, the ability of Devil Fruit is dispensable. Of course, in the first half of the Great Line, in the Kingdom of Alabasta, there were only a few people who mastered Haki.

This is also the reason why Sand Crocodile Crocodile is almost invincible here. The natural Devil Fruit gives him this confidence.

"It would be too risky to directly try to use Sea Tower Stone to deal with Crocodile."

Tang Sen kept thinking about various plans in his mind. Whether it was a sneak attack with sea floor stone bullets or setting up sea floor stone traps, there was no way to make it foolproof. After all, Crocodile was not a fool. On the contrary, he could plan a plan.

With such a sophisticated plan to usurp the country, he is obviously a smart man.

What's more, Tang Sen is not sure whether the other party has practiced domineering - although in the original performance, he suffered the disadvantage of appearing too early and did not show that he can be domineering at all, but this is a real world, and Tang Sen has to deal with it.

Consider the possibility that the other party may see Wense's domineering attitude.

"To be on the safe side, I still can't do it myself."

Tang Sen has long been accustomed to using his mind to achieve goals when his own strength is insufficient. In the first world, in order to fight against Davy Jones, he almost made full use of the resources and information he could use.

In the current world, he needs to face more powerful people, and their strength is more terrifying, but he is no longer the ordinary person he was before, and he has many more methods than back then.

"I need a thug."

Tang Sen tapped his finger on the table: "A person to deal with Crocodile on my behalf."

"Mr. Luffy should be happy to do this. I can provide him with some help."

"However, I cannot let the plot end like the original work. Crocodile cannot be arrested by the navy, and his identity as a Shichibukai needs to be preserved so that I can have the opportunity and sufficient power to contact the navy and even participate in the summit.

Go to war and seek greater benefits."

"So, Mr. Crocodile may also need some help."

A plan slowly became clear in Tang Sen's mind.

"Let's think about the details slowly. Although we don't know the specific timeline, judging from the contents of the newspaper, the rebellion broke out in the past few days. In other words, Luffy and his group should arrive in Alaba soon.
