Merciless Mortal Combat! Luffy vs. Crocodile!

'

Smoker stood by as his men ran after the Straw Hats, but eventually told one of them to tell the others that chasing the pirates was pointless. In addition, the subordinate was supposed to contact the HQ and tell them to have all military vessels near Alabasta to gather around the island.

'Thanks to him, Crocodile got arrested, but thanks to him, we had a hard time escaping. '

'There are no good things without the bad things. '

The subordinate was not sure if the HQ would be willing to move those ships to catch one small pirate crew. Smoker asked whether he had ever cared about the opinions of his superiors.

'He probably should ' ' Usopp disapproved.

'Without listening to his superiors, he sure got far in life. '

'I should start disobeying Luffy, and maybe All Blue will appear in front of me. '
