135: Chapter 135 The Ruthless Old ShaRainy place, Central Casino (the author can't remember where it is, and I'm too lazy to go and see).
Old Sand looked at Mr.3, who was kneeling and trembling before him, with a gloomy expression.He chuckled coldly and said, "I thought you would come back with news of Straw Hat Luffy's defeat, but you couldn't even last a few moves against him.You still have the nerve to come and see me?"
MR3, suppressing his fear, tried to defend himself: "Boss, it really wasn't my fault.That straw hat kid was too strong.He broke through my candle barrier with ease, and Miss Goldenweek's abilities were completely useless against him."
As for why MISS.3 is here, it all started when he was defeated by Luffy in Little Garden.Luffy originally planned to persuade MISS.3 to join him and infiltrate Crocodile's side with his words, but he completely forgot about them because of training and other things.Also, he didn't use Seastone or anything when he tied them up, so they escaped.Later, MISS.3 also knew Crocodile's personality.If they both went to see him, they might die at Crocodile's hands.So MISS.3 decided to let MISS.Goldenweek hide first, and he went to see Crocodile alone.
"So what about your partner?" Old Sha was surrounded by murderous intent, but he still patiently asked.
"I don't know where she went.She disappeared when I woke up from my coma."
Old Sha was silent for a while.Just when MISS.3 thought he had escaped, the next moment, Old Sha grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.Old Sha said coldly, "Since the mission failed, I have no choice but to make you atone with your death."
Just as MISS.3 was about to beg for mercy, Crocodile used his Devil Fruit power to drain the water from his body.Then, he casually tossed the dried-up MISS.3 into the pool and watched as the banana crocodile swallowed him.Afterward, Crocodile sat back in his office chair, staring at his desk with a gloomy expression, and muttered, "Almost there.Just a little bit more to get that thing." Meanwhile, Robin, hidden in the shadows, seemed to be thinking about something as well.
Not far from the rain-soaked desert, the Straw Hat crew was struggling to walk.Even Luffy was suffering from the heat, not to mention Chopper, who was lying on a plank being dragged along by Zoro.As for Smoker, Luffy didn't even need to lift a finger.Bound by Seastone, he was just a slightly stronger ordinary person.If Luffy hadn't been feeding him water to keep him safe, Smoker would have been dead long ago.
"Luffy, when will we reach our destination?And when will Sanji recover?" Nami wiped her sweat and whispered in Luffy's ear.She couldn't accept Sanji in his current state.Although he seemed more serious and worldly-wise, why did he suddenly shout, "Hmph!Trivial tricks!How dare you show off your skills before an expert!Great Heavenly Dragon!" and then kick the scorpion to death when he saw the giant scorpion attacking them?
Luffy glanced at Shan Ye, feeling helpless.He tried to buy the antidote from the system, but Ling'er said it was out of stock.This meant that Shan Ye could only remain in this state for a while.If Shan Ye hadn't recovered by the time they reached Whole Cake Island, would Luffy really have to "take care of your wife"?
"It should arrive soon.As for Shan Ye, it should be soon, right?" Luffy said somewhat uncertainly.He was helpless against his own unreliable system and could only rely on Shan Ye's luck.Maybe the antidote would be available soon?
