"Ah! Run!!"
rustling sounds...
As the sandstorm raged, terrified gamblers would occasionally emerge from the dilapidated casino entrance, their bodies soaked in sand, yet nothing could slow their escape.
Meanwhile, inside the casino's main hall, Crocodile, clad in a white robe, stood proudly in the center of the sand-filled space, a lit cigar in his mouth, his gaze disdainfully fixed on the three men standing before him.
"Hmph! Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, why are you here? We have no deep-seated hatred between us, yet you attacked so ruthlessly. What are your intentions? Do you want to provoke a war with Wilmis Island?"
The three men standing before Crocodile were all filled with rage, but looking at the surrounding yellow sand, they dared not utter any wild words, and could only invoke the power behind them.
hum!
rustling sounds...
However, the three men didn't receive a reply from Crocodile. The instant the question was uttered, the previously quiet sands surrounding them rapidly converged on them, forming a cage around them in just a few moments.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash! I thought you guys must have some strength to dare harass me, but I didn't expect you to back down so quickly! Start a war? Hahaha! A bunch of bullying watchdogs, you don't deserve to live in this world! Let my yellow sand send you on your way!"
"Desert Funeral!"
As Crocodile finished speaking, the sand cage that had formed visibly began to shrink inward, with more sand constantly pouring into it. In just a few moments, the three people inside the cage were no longer visible, leaving only pleas for mercy and curses.
"No...no! Crocodile, please let me go! I'm willing to follow you..."
"Bastard! If you dare kill me, Lord Verus will not let you get away with this...bastard..."
rustling sounds...
"Tch! Useless!"
No matter how much the three men struggled in the cage, Crocodile showed no intention of letting them go, simply because these three foolish individuals had harassed him and Daz Bones in the casino.
boom!
The next moment, accompanied by an extremely muffled roar, the huge sand sphere that had formed in the hall exploded. The entire hall was instantly covered in sand again, and the three people who had been enveloped in the sand had vanished without a trace in the explosion.
"Phew! How boring! Let's go, Bonnies!"
Crocodile stared expressionlessly at the explosion ahead, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then turned and walked out of the casino.
Daz Bones, who had been standing by watching the fight, followed Crocodile without hesitation after hearing his words, not even glancing back at the site of the explosion.
As the two left, the lavishly decorated and enormous casino was buried by the yellow sand.
Splash!
Meanwhile, at another port on Wilmis Island, Mu Chong and his two companions were leisurely sitting on a boat, drinking beverages.
The ship the three were on was a merchant vessel. While waiting for the World Government's ship to arrive, Mu rushed to the captain and bought a seat, an act that made Enel roll his eyes.
"Brother! Are we really not going to do anything about the fighting on the island? According to Enel's description, it seems that Slade and the others have been fighting with the forces on the island, meow!"
Mumu, the white cat sitting to the right of Muchong, held a piece of fried fish in her paws and asked questions while eating.
It turns out that the moment Mu Chong and his companions stepped out of the inn, Enel's radar-like Observation Haki had already detected everything that had happened on the entire island. Up until now, everything that had transpired on the island was under Enel's control.
"Hehehe! No need! I believe they can handle it! Besides, they're just some minor characters!"
Upon hearing Mu Mu's question, Mu Chong's lips curled into a slight smile. Under his Observation Haki, he didn't sense a particularly powerful presence.
"Hmm! What I didn't expect was that there were so many forces on this island. First, there were the native forces of this island, then the forces of the World Government and the Navy, and even the forces of that guy Doflamingo. What I didn't expect even more was that I would encounter Blackbeard's crew!"
"Hehehe! It seems the closer we get to that place, the more chaotic this sea becomes!"
As Mu Chong spoke, his deep gaze was fixed on the calm sea ahead, his expression utterly indifferent, as if he cared nothing at all.
Click!
"Tch! They're all just a bunch of weaklings! They don't interest me at all!"
No sooner had Mu Chong finished speaking than Enel's disdainful voice and the sound of him biting into an apple came from the side.
"Hahahaha! Enel! You may look down on them now, but the power behind them is stronger than the last! Hmm? Why don't you go and destroy one of them first?"
Hearing Enel's disdainful words, Mu Chong immediately laughed. These small fry are no match for someone as powerful as a Yonko.
However, as Mu Chong spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a peculiar idea flashed through his mind. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. After all, wasn't that key figure heading towards Wilmis Island?
"Huh? Captain! Are you serious?"
The moment Mu Chong's voice fell, Enel immediately became interested, even briefly ignoring the apple in his hand.
"Hehehe! Of course! Since we've met them here by chance, we can start planning some things in advance. There's something I'm interested in in that sea area of the New World. If you go there, you can take it with you!"
Seeing the excited Enel, Mu Chong smiled and slowly began to speak.
"Huh? Them?"
Mu Chong's words made Enel raise an eyebrow slightly, his gaze instinctively turning to the sea ahead, while simultaneously releasing his Observation Haki.
"Hey? Captain! There's someone a kilometer to our right..."
The instant Enel unleashed his Observation Haki, a faint sense of being watched appeared within his Observation Haki. At that moment, a flash of lightning appeared in Enel's eyes.
"Hehehe! This guy's interesting! Hey! You guys wait here for a minute! I'll go have a chat with him!"
Swish!
At the same moment Enel sensed being watched, Mu Chong locked onto the other's location, and the instant his words fell, Mu Chong's body vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a tall building in the southwest of Wilmis Island, a man wearing a strange hat, an eyepatch over his right eye, a long face, a black cloak, and holding a long spear, was watching in the direction of Mu Chong and his companions.
"Hero Mu Chong? I never expected to encounter this man here. According to the information I've gathered, he shouldn't be on this route..."
The man holding the spear had a solemn expression. He gently lowered the spear he had raised, then fixed his gaze on the direction where Mu Chong and the other two were, muttering to himself.
"Hehehe! Meeting is fate! Isn't this just destiny's arrangement? Van Augur? Or, Wan-Oga?"
