Chapter 1890: Crocodile welcomes Barrett!
The vast desert under the scorching sun spreads endlessly in all directions.
The air was filled with the smell of heat and dust.
Looking into the distance, golden sand dunes rise and fall, surging like waves.
But in front of them, a large ancient loess city stands in the howling sandstorm, looking vicissitudes and tenacious.
This is deep in the sand sea west of Alabasta.
There is no human habitation within a thousand miles.
At the same time, this place has also been designated as a medium-risk restricted area by the world government.
Because this is the exclusive territory of the 'one-tail' Shukaku.
As the eyes pass over the city walls and the miscellaneous tower buildings along the way.
After passing through the wall and entering the upper floors of the main hall, I heard a strange noisy sound.
The sound was mixed with roars, hitting sounds, shouts, and the crackling of keys.
Then I smelled a strange aroma of barbecue, neither pork nor beef.
"Watch out behind you, they're coming again!"
"Then you handle it. I'm fighting this 'Ji Qu' in single combat!"
"Oh, there are too many. I can't stop them!"
Crocodile and the miniaturized Shukaku were seen sitting on a fluffy carpet.
He was staring at the picture on the LCD TV screen and constantly pressing the handle in his hand.
He shouted a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very tense.
That's right, they are playing games in a team.
A 'Musou-type console game' called "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress".
Then look at the surrounding environment.
Although the space is quite large, it has all kinds of furniture and appliances, and there are heartwarming details everywhere.
at the same time.
There were several short cat-like orcs with long pointed ears, estimated to be about one meter tall, walking upright.
Or grilling banana crocodile thighs in the kitchen, or mopping the floor.
They are the beastman race of the Teigu World. Detel.
Because it has similar social habits and appearance to Felynx.
But they are more adapted to desert or wasteland environments, so they are called "mountain cats" by the Hunter Guild.
Crocodile specially hired ten people to manage the daily life of Shukaku territory.
It is also convenient for me to come here and stay for a few days to relax from time to time.
But when the samurai character controlled on the screen was hacked to death by the 'Technical Kabane' with a long sword.
His mood was not so happy.
"hateful!"
"How can a small trash fish be so hard to catch? I've tried four times and still can't get past it!"
Crocodile threw down the handle angrily, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, then picked up the lighter on the table and lit it.
"What should I do? Look at this cover. There are bosses like 'Black Smoke' and 'Nue' in the back."
Shukaku spread his hands helplessly.
Crocodile snorted coldly: "I have seen 'Black Smoke' before. It's just a group of 'Kabane' gathered together. It's nothing special!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen:
"Let's eat first. This is the crocodile I caught from the Santara River when I came here. It goes well with the Frosted Tomato Sauce from the God's World. It's absolutely the best!"
Shukaku followed and shouted, "I've been wanting to complain for a long time. Is it really appropriate for you, a 'sand crocodile', to eat a crocodile?"
"In a world where cannibalism is common, what's so strange about crocodiles eating crocodiles?"
Crocodile answered casually as he took the roast meat that the mountain cat chef had cut and put on the plate.
"Well, you look so idle, don't you have any wars?"
Shukaku also took the plate and asked while eating.
Although life in Starfish is a paradise for him.
You can wander around and be loved by people during the day, and you can enter the "Main God Space" to play at night.
But sometimes I also want to have a real fight and help the World Government at the same time.
"It will be soon. Once the 'Five Stars Merge' is over, we will launch a full-scale offensive against the Underworld. It is said that new star gates will be opened, so we will definitely be busy again by then."
"Wow, then you have to take me with you, and we can beat up those damn demons together!"
Shukaku was very happy after hearing Crocodile's words.
He and the demons of Hades have two vengeances to avenge.
One was that he was almost killed before, and the other was the "six-tailed" rhino dog that had already been killed.
There was originally a 'three-tailed' Isofi, but he has been resurrected on Fishman Island.
Although these nine tailed beasts seem to have no interaction with each other on the surface.
There are even a few whose relationships are not so good, such as him and Jiu Lama.
But in fact, there is a consciousness space that only the tailed beasts and the jinchūriki can enter.
It is equivalent to a spiritual chat room with infinite distance.
So they can communicate with each other anytime they want.
of course.
The so-called wireless distance can only be confirmed within a planet, and cross-universe communication cannot be achieved through a star gate.
In short, the tailed beasts have never really lost contact, and their relationship is more like that of brothers and sisters who have separated and lived separately.
No, it should be said that they are brothers and sisters born from the same womb.
At this time.
Just when Crocodile and Shukaku were talking and laughing.
The former's expression suddenly became stern, and he turned his dead fish eyes to stare at the southwest wall.
"what happened?"
Shukaku was a little confused.
But about five seconds later, he also sensed a powerful aura approaching here at high speed.
"It's Gu Long!"
The reason why he was so sure was because Shukaku discovered the "dragon spirit" in the other party.
That is, the 'dragon attribute energy' that the ancient dragons in the Teigu World have to a greater or lesser extent.
However, for convenience, it is simply referred to as "Dragon Qi".
"It's Barrett, he's here again."
However, Crocodile gave a different answer and then called out, "Let's go out and take a look."
The voice just fell.
He immediately turned into a ball of yellow sand, broke through the window and flew out of the house.
Shukaku did the same and followed closely behind.
When the mountain cats of the Deter tribe saw that there seemed to be guests coming, they immediately began to clean up the mess in the house.
The two chefs in the kitchen began to prepare more ingredients.
at the same time.
A large shadow was sweeping across the vast desert.
The creatures living here either fled in panic or trembled in fear, not daring to struggle at all.
Because there is a giant black dragon above their heads!
It was estimated that the dragon's body was nearly twenty meters long, and it had a pair of unusually thick curved horns on its head.
Its entire body, including its wings and tail, is covered with sharp black spikes.
Under the scorching sun, it has a cold metallic luster.
Ferocious, cruel, violent and horrific are the feelings that any living creature will strongly feel when seeing it for the first time.
But what these creatures below didn't see was.
Such a terrifying black dragon.
There was a man who was as tall and strong as a little giant, with long golden hair down to his waist, sitting cross-legged on its back, not caring about the thorns under him.
He did not stand up until the dark shadow of the city gradually appeared in his sight.
Then, this man, who was more than five meters tall and wearing a black coat of justice, suddenly let out a mighty roar towards the front.
"Sand crocodile bastard, come out and fight me!!!"
The air in front of Barrett exploded instantly, and circles of sound waves visible to the naked eye continued to spread in all directions.
Fortunately, this is the deep sea, otherwise his shout would be enough to kill everyone within a hundred meters.
But his behavior that seriously disturbed the public also received a response.
A huge sand blade with purple lightning cut through the desert in front of the ancient city.
That’s right, in order to show solemnity, he wrapped himself in the domineering aura!
"Dad hits my head! I'm so scared of him!" (Desert Knife)
This is how Crocodile welcomes that bastard Barrett.
