[Ivankov #2: Straw Hat Boy, how did you defeat Crocodile? Beating Crocodile Boy in the desert isn't easy!]
[Luffy #2: I just won like that. This guy is so annoying, he keeps destroying Vivi's country!]
[Crocodile #2: Straw Hat Boy, you still make me so angry!]
[Luffy #2: I love saying that, believe it or not, I'll knock you away again!]
[Ivankov #2: We're escaping right now, so let's not fight amongst ourselves. We can talk about everything after we leave Impel Down! Lots of guards have surrounded us. Magellan isn't dead yet; if he recovers, none of us will be in good shape!]
……
Video number 2 continued playing amidst the crowd's discussion!
Through Luffy's perspective, people in both worlds who were unaware of the truth quickly figured out the situation.
In order to seize Alabasta, Crocodile used dancing powder to cause the entire country to suffer from drought, taking the opportunity to incite the people to rebel, and then pinned the blame for using dancing powder on King Cobra.
We are gradually weakening the Vivi family's control over this country!
And it allowed its Baroque Works to reap huge profits from this.
At the same time, the Baroque Works was also a major force in instigating rebellion.
Everything went smoothly until the Straw Hat Pirates arrived.
From Whiskeytown to Little Park, and then to Alabasta…
The Straw Hat Pirates evaded Baroque Works' pursuit time and time again!
[Raziru #2: Boss, it's Dorry and Brogy!]
[Red Hair #2: It's been so long since I've seen them. I wonder when their duel will finally end!]
[Roger #2: It's been so many years, and they're still fighting?]
[Rayleigh #2: After all, it's a warrior's honor!]
The video is fast-forwarded, and soon Straw Hat Luffy arrives in the rainy region of Alabasta.
The Straw Hat crew had their first direct confrontation with Crocodile here.
After several twists and turns, a battle between kings emerged.
In the outskirts of the Rain Country, Luffy suffered greatly when he first encountered Crocodile.
This isn't the first time Luffy has encountered a Logia-type Devil Fruit user!
I've encountered Smoker before! But I was able to escape that time.
This time it won't work. This time they came to challenge us themselves, and Luffy has to win.
But the concept of Logia-type Devil Fruits was too unfamiliar to a group of fledgling pirates!
Despite Luffy's best efforts, he was still unable to defeat Crocodile.
Luffy's attack struck Crocodile's elemental body but failed to cause any damage!
Crocodile's casual gesture of raising his hand unleashed a sandstorm and a desert greatsword, easily cornering Luffy!
In the end, Luffy even resorted to such a lame move as swallowing something whole.
But Crocodile still easily defeated him!
The golden hook in his hand pierced straight through the Straw Hat Boy's body!
Then a quicksand pit completely swallowed the Straw Hat Boy!
In their first direct confrontation, Straw Hat Luffy suffered a complete defeat!
[Doflamingo #2: That's strange. Logically speaking, even a Mythical Zoan should die after being buried alive by quicksand. How could it possibly defeat you later?]
[Whitebeard #2: Hey, Garp, what's wrong with you? Whether your grandson wants to be a pirate or a Marine, no matter how busy you are, you should at least teach him some basic common sense! He doesn't even know about Logia-type Devil Fruits. He only learned about how Seastone counters Devil Fruit users from the enemy. What kind of grandfather have you been teaching him?]
[Garp #2: ...]
Why am I being dragged into this again?!
But seeing Luffy get so badly beaten in his first fight against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Garp couldn't argue with that! Sometimes he did want to teach Luffy, but Luffy just wouldn't listen!
But no matter what, he bears an unshirkable responsibility!
[Kaido #2: There's nothing wrong with how we dealt with Crocodile.]
[Doflamingo #2: That was too overconfident. If it were me, I'd be safer just chopped off Straw Hat Luffy's head!]
[Akainu #2: Hmph, a mere Shichibukai has turned a great nation into a mess. In my opinion, the Shichibukai system shouldn't even exist!]
Video #2 continues to be developed.
Just when Straw Hat Luffy was about to die.
After Crocodile had gone far away, Nico Robin used her power to save Straw Hat Luffy!
[Silver Axe #2: Not waiting until Straw Hat Boy breathed his last before leaving? Too confident! Even if you're busy, a few more minutes won't make a difference, and you're already being rescued!]
[Auntie #2: Useless crocodile, even the people around you have betrayed you!]
[Doflamingo #2: While it's possible that Crocodile's poor management skills might explain the betrayal of others, it's not surprising at all if it's Nico Robin, the Devil Child. That woman is infamous for betrayal in the underworld!]
The video quickly fast-forwarded to Luffy's second clash with Crocodile.
The location is the Alabasta Royal Palace!
This time, Luffy learned Crocodile's weakness.
Carrying a bucket of water, he suddenly descended from the sky and sent Crocodile flying with a friendly punch!
Enraged, Crocodile unleashed his full power, and after a grueling struggle, grabbed Straw Hat Luffy by the neck!
He drained him dry! In their second encounter, Crocodile's weakness to water was revealed.
But he still defeated the Straw Hat Boy, and casually threw the Straw Hat Boy, who had been sucked dry, off a high place!
……
[Golden Lion #1: Are you an idiot?]
[Crocodile #2: What did you say?!]
Crocodile said with slight anger, "People from another world are actually insulting me!"
[Golden Lion #1: Are you stupid? You're so careless! The first time you severely injured Luffy, he survived, even though he was rescued. But the fact that he could fight you again so quickly shows his vitality is extraordinary. You drained him dry, why didn't you take the opportunity to finish him off? Why were you so arrogant as to think he was definitely dead? I'm asking you, how long does it take to finish him off? For you, it wouldn't even take a second! So crude, so incredibly crude. No doubt, Luffy didn't die this time either, and he fought you a third time!]
Crocodile was about to refute these comments!
But the outcome was predictable.
This left him speechless for a moment!
At the time, he was preoccupied with ancient weapons and angered by the Straw Hat Boy, so he didn't think much about it!
Looking back now, he wonders why he didn't finish the job!
[Barrett #2: Whether you finish me off or not is secondary. The biggest problem is, after all these years, how come your strength hasn't improved? Back then, you could fight me to a standstill, but more than twenty years later, you haven't even learned Haki. What are you doing, Crocodile? You're making me feel ashamed!]
[Doflamingo #2: His strength hasn't really improved much. He's relying entirely on the power of his Logia-type Devil Fruit, which is a bit of a waste. If only I had that ability, fufufu...]
[Whitebeard #2: Crocodile's arrogant personality hasn't changed at all!]
[Crocodile #2: Shut up!!]
Seeing Barrett's words, Crocodile couldn't save face either!
Damn Barrett, it's one thing for Whitebeard and Doflamingo to curse him!
Even Barrett, who has been imprisoned in Impel Down for who knows how many years, dares to insult me!
Although he's locked up now too!
But he was insulted like this by the old prisoner and his old rival!
It still hurts!
They have no idea what they've been through all these years!
Besides, the comparison is clearly with Straw Hat Boy, why do you keep bringing me up!
Look at Straw Hat Boy!!
If all else fails, go watch video number 1!
Why do you keep finding fault with yourself?!
Although he is also making his own choices, he is now genuinely reflecting on his actions!
[Barrett #2: Looks like you have a problem with me. Let me show you my current strength! Don't think I'm targeting you; I want to tell the whole world that not only are you trash, but they're all trash too! Once I get out of here, I'll surpass all of you!]
Crocodile #2: An arrogant and conceited family...
[Ivankov #2: Holy crap!!]
[Jinbe #2: Holy crap!!]
[Luffy #2: Holy crap!]
[Kaido #2: What happened?!]
