Alabasta, Eden.
With the help of the strongest tool man, Gardino, the construction of this city progressed rapidly.
Tall buildings with unique shapes are arranged in an orderly manner according to specific rules.
The colors Marian mixed and painted on them made the buildings look particularly gorgeous and bright.
The smooth and wide road is also another masterpiece of Gardino.
On both sides of the road are neatly planted two rows of tropical plants transported from all over Alabasta and surrounding islands.
The lush green leaves make this somewhat hot city seem a lot cooler.
The streets are full of people who come here to help, their faces are filled with satisfied smiles, as if a happy life is just around the corner.
On the coast of Eden, a group of people are busy building the city's port.
Kunta and his friends were pushing a cart of lumber toward the construction site.
He always had good eyesight, and he accidentally glanced into the depths of the sea.
He suddenly noticed a row of small black dots appearing where the blue sea met the sky.
There were about a dozen of these small dots. After careful observation, he found that these small dots seemed to be slowly growing larger at an imperceptible speed.
"Hey, Lance, wait a minute, look at what those are?" Kunta stopped pushing the cart and pointed to the end of the sea and said to his friend.
Lance has been working as a stevedore at the docks for many years and has some knowledge of things at sea.
He looked in the direction Kunta pointed and began to distinguish carefully.
"It seems to be a fleet. The ship in the middle is much larger than the ones next to it. It seems to be a flagship."
"They are lined up in parallel, but the formation is not neat. Such a large fleet is probably not a navy, nor does it look like a merchant ship."
"The last possibility left is the sea, pirates!" Lance expressed his judgment in a trembling voice.
"What? Pirates?" The destructive power caused by so many pirate ships is even more terrible than a disaster.
Kunta immediately felt himself surrounded by an unprecedented fear.
Just then, a quick whistle suddenly came from not far away.
"Everyone, retreat to the city! Pirates are attacking!"
"Everyone, retreat to the city! Pirates are attacking!"
This was a warning issued by members of the Baroque Company. They had received instructions a few days ago to patrol this coastline with binoculars.
I didn't expect it to come in handy today when I discovered pirates were attacking.
Gardino's task today is to make a slide for the water park.
He was standing on a newly built platform that was thirty meters high and concentrating on looking at the blueprints when he suddenly heard hurried whistles and people's panicked shouts.
"Pirates? Where are they?" Gardino searched the sea curiously.
Soon, more than a dozen pirate ships were discovered rushing towards here with great momentum.
Gardino, who has a very high IQ, immediately thought of the real purpose of these evil thieves.
"These bastards even dare to target our Baroque Company. They really don't know how to live or die." Gardino was immediately ignited by anger.
"Before he left, the boss told me that I had to ensure the company's funds were completely safe."
"Besides, this city was built with the blood and sweat of my boss and me. If it is destroyed by these rubbish, my boss will definitely be heartbroken when he returns."
"So, let the others look after the vault, and I'll take care of all these damn things."
After thinking about this, a candle the width of a palm spurted out from Gardino's palm, extending from the platform to the ground.
After stepping on it, it slides down very smoothly.
Facing the fleeing crowd, Gardino put his hands in his pockets and walked alone towards the port.
When he arrived at the planned location, he could already see the flag flying on the pirate ship.
All I saw painted on it was a crocodile skull with a ferocious face.
"The Giant Crocodile Pirates?" Gardino narrowed his eyes and immediately thought of who the visitor was.
His many years of experience as a bounty hunter made him familiar with these notorious guys on the Grand Line.
On the flagship of the Giant Crocodile Pirates, Giant Crocodile Gad, Sharp Saw Pandev, and Flash Redman all stood at the bow, their faces full of excitement.
The little brothers on more than a dozen pirate ships were shouting and clamoring almost crazily.
"Hey guys, there are countless Baileys in this city, follow me and charge!!!"
"Kill all those who resist without leaving a single one alive!" Gad roared in a wild and loud voice.
With this roar, the pirates on the ship became even more excited, with bloodthirsty light in their eyes.
As soon as the boat docked, everyone rushed down, and many people even jumped directly off the boat.
After everyone gathered on the shore, they followed Ged and the other two noisily.
However, soon after they walked out, they found a man wearing a striped waistcoat and with shoulder-length hair standing alone on the road leading to the city, as if he was waiting for them.
Gade is now very powerful and in the limelight, and he doesn't take anyone seriously.
In his eyes, Gardino was just an ordinary man who was a little stronger.
"Hey, kid, where is the casino here? Lead me there quickly, or I'll break all your bones." Ged said to Gardino wildly.
"Giant Crocodile Ged, I want to know, who gave you the courage to come and wreak havoc on Crocodile's territory?"
Gardino suppressed his anger and spoke in his signature tone.
"Hahahahahaha, who gave me the courage? Of course it was my fist, and these brothers who followed me till death."
"You're Crocodile's subordinate, right? That guy is just a useless guy seeking fame."
"I advise you to join my team as soon as possible. After you rob his treasury, maybe I can give you some." Ged continued arrogantly.
"Don't you know that he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea appointed by the World Government? I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise the ending will be very tragic." Gardino kindly advised.
"Hahahahaha, it's just a poor wretch with a bounty of only 81 million berries, who bought his position from the World Government."
"I'm a pirate with a bounty of over 200 million. Once I rob Crocodile of his 200 billion, I can spend the money to buy him one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Wouldn't that be great?"
"Haha, why are there so many idiots like you who like to equate bounty with strength?"
"Since you won't listen to my advice, then all of you will become wax figures. I'll decide your fate when the boss comes back."
Seeing that the other party would not obey, Gardino finally lost his patience and showed a cruel expression.
