Building a Pirate Group: The Crew is the Villain of All Worlds.

Chapter 272 Gift of the Demonic Aura of the Earth

"By the way, all your efforts over the years have been in vain. The legendary Pluto is not in Alabasta at all." Kuruda spoke bluntly, like a sharp blade, ruthlessly piercing this cruel truth.

"No, it's absolutely impossible! According to the information I have, Cobra and the royal family of this kingdom must know the whereabouts of Pluto. After all, this family was once..." Crocodile was shocked and angry, and screamed at the top of his voice. He couldn't accept it and firmly believed that the information he had obtained with great difficulty could not be wrong.

"The Alabasta royal family is indeed the descendant of one of the 22 kings who founded the World Government. Because they did not want to associate with the Celestial Dragons, they came here and established a new kingdom. However, they only know the news about Pluto. The real Pluto is not hiding here." Kuruda continued to reveal the truth.

Hearing this, Crocodile fell silent for a moment, because he knew very well that given his current situation and Kuruda's strength, there was no need for the other party to deceive him.

"Besides, even if you get Pluto, I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat Whitebeard. Among the four emperors today, who doesn't have the ability to destroy an island with one shot like Pluto? We have several such people in our Fallen Group."

"Also, once Pluto opens fire, he will become a sitting duck. Have you forgotten Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit? It has unparalleled destructive power, and can even shatter space."

"If you practice diligently and improve your physical skills and domineering, it will take at least ten years, not twenty years, and you will never be as embarrassed in front of Whitebeard as you were back then. After all, Whitebeard is old and his strength is declining. Even if you find Pluto and defeat the current Whitebeard, what meaning will an old and frail Whitebeard have to you?" Kuruda continued to expose the truth mercilessly.

And he once again silenced Crocodile.

Especially the last sentence. Yes, he is also clear about Whitebeard's situation over the years. Even if he gets Pluto, is there any point in defeating such a Whitebeard?

But if that's the case, then wouldn't the past 20 years have been wasted?

"But you don't have to worry too much. Like Roger and Shiki, Whitebeard has regained his youth and peak." Kuruda said with a smile.

"What, you restored Whitebeard's youth and peak status as well?" Crocodile showed a shocked expression on his face.

At this moment, not only him, but also Robin and Crocodile's other men showed shocked expressions.

Whitebeard has regained his youth and peak status. They all know more or less how powerful this old Four Emperors was when he was young and at his peak.

"That means I still have a chance!" Clarkdal asked excitedly with a gleam in his eyes.

However, when he thought about facing Whitebeard who had regained his youth and was in peak condition, he couldn't help but remember that he couldn't even defeat Whitebeard who was already old back then. He instantly lost his spirit and returned to his former decadent appearance.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Do you know why I came to find you? I even used Moria's voice to lure you here because I was afraid you would run away." Kuruda said with a smile on his face.

Crocodile's mouth twitched when he heard this, because he realized that if the other party really belonged to the Fallen Pirates, he would definitely choose to escape without hesitation.

"Well, why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?" At this time, Crocodile had a question in his mind. He found that there were only a few people like Kuruda here, so where are the other members of the Fallen Pirates? After he asked, Baroque Studio and Robin also cast doubtful and curious eyes.

"Sleep and practice in seclusion. There are 17 of us in total, and 5 of us can come to greet you, plus I am the captain, which is already giving you enough face." Kuruda rolled his eyes at them and said with a smile.

"So what do you want from me?" Crocodile asked.

"I need to recruit some men, or to be exact, affiliated pirate groups." Kuruda continued to explain with a smile.

"Do you think I will surrender?" Crocodile said with a sneer.

"I know you are not afraid of death, but these people behind you are not. Do you want to be thrown down right now and turned into meat paste at an altitude of ten thousand meters?" Kuruda continued.

Then he looked at the others. He didn't believe that any of them were truly loyal to Crocodile, and they probably just found out now that he was their president.

As he expected, many people were scared when they heard that they would be thrown down from here and smashed into meat paste.

"No, please don't, please spare my life."

"Yes, we are willing to work like slaves."

People like Xiao Feng and Third Brother have chosen to beg for mercy and surrender, and join the strongest pirate group today. It is not shameful to become a subordinate of the Fallen Pirate Group.

But there are also those with strong wills, such as the user of the Zan-Zan Fruit, the user of the Thorn Fruit, and so on.

And there are some blurry ones, such as the little girl painting and Nico Robin.

There's a lot of cleverness in his head, I don't know what he's thinking.

But seeing these traitors, especially Nico Robin smiling, Crocodile was almost furious.

But he didn't think about it. Without even developing the most basic feelings, how could they follow him wholeheartedly?

Besides, look at the current situation, it’s a matter of life and death.

"Crocodile, what if I could give you the ability to truly fight Whitebeard now?" Crocodile laughed again.

"What can you give me?" Crocodile said immediately after hearing this. It was obvious that he was already a little tempted. After all, he had heard that the Fallen Pirates had many good things.

The people on this ship are not only powerful, but also eccentric.

Maybe there really is an ability to make oneself stronger quickly.

Kuruda didn't say anything, but took out a glass container, inside of which was a flower stained with black air.

"What is this?" Crocodile couldn't help but ask.

After he asked this question, his subordinates, including Nico Robin and Kuruda's own companions, all looked at him with curiosity and doubt.

"A long time ago, there was much more land on this ocean than there is now. At that time, there was no World Government, and humans had not even come into contact with Haki."

"Once there were eight demons who ruled this world. They possessed different magical powers. These eight magical powers came from fire, sky, moon, thunder and lightning, land, mountains, hurricanes and sea water."

"They were extremely powerful and ruled the world at the time, exercising their brutal tyranny. Later, eight powerful humans stood up and sent these demons to hell, while also depriving them of some of their power."

"And these deprived powers are also called demonic energy. What I have in my hand is the demonic energy of the original Earth Demon Dikui. As long as you absorb it into your body, you will not only enhance your ability to control sand, but you will also be able to control everything related to soil, rocks, and earth. In addition, you will have an additional ability similar to that of a mythical beast species."

Kuruda's story is relatively simple. He adapted the origin of the eight demons' evil spirits into a pirate version, and he was able to tell it, and by the way, he talked about the power of the Dikui.

"This... is there really such a magical power?" Crocodile couldn't help swallowing after hearing this.

But it was obvious that he was moved.

Nico Robin next to her was also very shocked, but what surprised her was that Kuruda actually knew the history of such a long time ago, even more than 800 years ago, and also obtained his so-called demonic energy.

However, when I think about the fact that there are several old monsters on the other ship who have lived for at least thousands of years, they must have a history and years that is even more profound than 800 years ago.

Before, Nico Robin was shocked that there was history from so long ago, and it seemed to keep surfacing with the emergence of the Fallen Pirates.

But at the same time, she was also very curious about what the ocean would be like in the future.

After all, a longer history seems to have emerged.

As for the others, haha, at least this belongs to their boss in public, so they have no right to interrupt.

"Okay, make your choice. Get the power that belongs to you and join me, or choose?" Kuruda once again regained his cold expression and said, with only a little smile on his face.

The other people from the Baroque Workshop all looked at Sand Crocodile, their eyes full of prayers, "Please agree to it, you must agree to it."

After all, they still want to live, even Robin, who had a calm expression before, and the little girl who was painting.

After all, who wants to die when you can live?

"Okay, I promise you." Crocodile finally chose to agree.

In front of the powerful Kuruda and the Fallen Pirates, the top force in the ocean today, he chose to surrender. Of course, the most important thing is that he really felt the flower in this glass container, and it really could bring about great changes in him.

"I think no one of you would disagree, right?" Kuruda said with a smile, then turned to look at everyone else.

These guys immediately shook their heads. Please, rather than death, they might as well become the other party's subordinates.

"Very good, this is yours." Kuruda directly threw the glass container filled with the evil spirit of the earth demon to Crocodile.

The latter immediately took it, opened the lid of the glass container, opened his mouth and sucked the evil energy of the Earth Demon directly into his body.

Soon, he changed.

As his entire body was enveloped in purple light, Crocodile and the others felt that his power and strength had greatly increased.

"This is, hahaha, such a powerful force." Crocodile couldn't help but get excited. He stood up and laughed out loud with his hands in the air.

A huge sandstorm rose up around him.
