Chapter 83
Alabasta, the capital, Albana.
In the morning, seven o'clock exactly.
There are only six hours left before the transaction time with Golden Lion!
The palace palace, conference table.
The idlers and others were all cleared out, and the five people who were about to participate in the transaction were sitting together, and Icarim also stood straight to the side.
King Cobra's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "It's not a natural disaster, it's because of a rumor."
hearing this, Lynn suddenly recalled that Crocodile was in the desert last night. What I said--
"There are things in this world that can't be solved with a fist."
Lynn suddenly turned his gaze to Crocodile, and found that the latter was also looking at himself at this time. .
He held a cigar in his mouth, leaned against the back of the chair, supported the tabletop with one elbow, looked sideways at Lynn in a very comfortable position, and then made a few mouth shapes--
p>The third round has begun.
Looking at this scene, Lynn’s heart immediately ignited with anger, stepped forward and grabbed Crocodile’s collar, pulled him over from the table, and shouted:
"What the hell did you do!"
"Huh?"
Crocodile raised his eyebrows in surprise, said with a sneer: "Lynn Barek, you are asleep Come on! I'm on the united front with you, are you suspicious of me?"
However, what Crocodile didn't expect was that Lynn was nodded.
"I'm not just suspicious of you, but I want to beat you!"
Then Lynn lifted his right fist, aimed at Crocodile in the face, and was about to hit it.
Crocodile immediately felt his scalp numb when he saw it, and said that the two of them are now in full view, and he is still Shichibukai. Did that lunatic just do it without thinking about the consequences?
Cobra also hurriedly stopped and said: "Two people, please calm down!"
Lynn stopped his fist and turned to Cobra and said, "The rumor He did it."
Cobra hearing this was taken aback, "I haven't said what the rumors are."
Crocodile also said with a sneer: "Do you have evidence? Do you want to do something to me without evidence?"
Lynn thought for a while, and felt that Crocodile made sense, so he changed his words:
"Well, I’m just pure I want to beat you, can I?"
Crocodile: "..."
Madman, Lynn Barek, he is a madman!
Finally, Cobra on the side intervened and said: "Mr. Lynn, if there is no definite evidence, you can't jump to a conclusion, so please calm down."
Lynn thought about it. I thought, finally let go of my hand holding Crocodile's collar.
Crocodile tidyed up his clothes and said softly with a smile: "That’s right, the deal with Golden Lion only lasts a few hours, and if you do it to me now, it’s your own side. It’s fighting power."
But as he talked, Crocodile found that Lynn was squinting his eyes and looking at himself, with mutter incantations in his mouth, and couldn't help being frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Count."
Lynn replied: "Count, I can bear you to say a few words without beating you."
Crocodile: "... …"
"Okay, it's enough, the two will take a break first."
Bell took a deep breath and didn't want to see the chaos on the conference table anymore. So the topic was introduced to the formality, "King Your Majesty, what are the rumors?"
"It's about Vivi, more precisely about the ship that Vivi went to sea."
Cobra replied: "The rumor claims that the ship Vivi went to sea was full of the treasures of the Alabasta royal family. Vivi's sea trip was fake, and the royal family secretly transferred their wealth is true."
"There are even worse rumors that Golden Lion is actually with our royal family. The two sides sang and made a concerted effort to squeeze the civilians of Alabasta to produce dancing fans for them."
"The above is also It's just a small part of rumors. There are so many so-called'grass stories'."
Cobra opened a map of Alabasta, pointed to one of the small oasis and said:
"This is an oasis station. According to the original plan, that batch of 100 tons of dancing fans will pass here early this morning, and then arrive in Albana in the morning."
"However, Dang Na When the batch of dancing fans arrived at the Oasis Station, those rumors also spread. The civilians responsible for transporting the dancing fans had a certain degree of riots."
Lynn hearing this was taken aback, "You said they danced The fans are ruined?"
"No." Icarim shook the head on the side, "They just made a stir for a short while, and went on strike for a while, but they thought about it carefully. After that, I chose to believe in our king."
"However, when they were emotional, an accident happened."
"A camel pulling a cart was on strike because of a strike. Frightened by the dispute, ten trucks containing 100 tons of dancing powder were accidentally turned over during the run, most of them were loaded with The bags of dancing powder were all thrown into the lake on the side. The powder was dissolved in the water, and the rest was leaked out due to the broken bag and mixed with the surrounding sand. "
"In short, the 100 tons of dancing fans are impossible to be recycled. "
"Now there are only six hours left before the time of the transaction. It is impossible to recreate a hundred tons of dancing fans. "
After Icarim finished speaking, Cobra was also nodded, sighed said: "In other words, there are only 900 tons of dancing fans used to trade now, and the good result of the negotiations with Golden Lion at the beginning is that it needs One thousand tons of dancing fans. "
"Are there any vacancies for one hundred tons?" "
Crocodile smoked a cigar and asked, "So the king, you summoned us here to make us think of a way to make up for the 100 tons of dancing fans?" "
"If you really have the ability to do it, I would also like to do so, but unfortunately there is no shortcut to making dancing fans, so the vacancy of one hundred tons is impossible in a short time. Internal make up. "
Cobra said with a sullen face, "So before the start of the afternoon trading, we can already be sure that we can't come up with a sufficient amount of trading items. "
"he he he he, so are we'distrustful' first?" "
Crocodile smiled, but his expression became rare and serious. "In the face of the Golden Lion, we became the one to lose. In this way, what will Golden Lion do and who It's unpredictable! "
"Exactly! "Cobra got up, put his hands on the conference table, said solemnly: "So I summon you all to make you'prepared' in advance." "
hearing this, the expressions of the four people at the table are divided into two types.
Lynn and Crocodile remain calm, and seem to have expected Cobra to say so.
But Bell and Gaka couldn't help but froze, "What are you going to prepare? "
Cobra took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Preparation for war! "
...
After the meeting, everyone went back to the room to rest. After lunch, they will set out to do business with the Golden Lion.
At this time, an unexpected guest greeted Crocodile's room.
Although Crocodile locked the door, Lynn broke the doorknob and walked in.
Seeing this, Crocodile's browse tightly knit, coldly said: "Hey, you lunatic don't really plan to fight with me before the transaction begins! "
Unexpectedly, Lynn's mood at this time was quite stable.
"Of course not, after all, we have to face the legendary Great Pirate, One more person’s battle strength is always good. "Lynn shook the head, looking thoughtful looking for a place to sit down, "I just want to ask you a question." "
Crocodile eyebrow raised, "What if I don't answer?" "
"Go to war, now. "
"...You can ask. "
"The hundred tons of dancing fans were your hands?" Lynn asked.
"No, that should really be an accident. "Crocodile shook the head.
"Then you let out those rumors? "Lynn asked again.
Hearing this, Crocodile grinned suddenly, "Yes, but not all. "
Lynn's frowned, "What do you mean? "
"He he he he, Lynn Barek, you said that Alabasta is a tenacious country last night, so I plan to test it, but the result didn’t even I expect. ! "
Crocodile said with a big smile: "I went to a bar in Albana last night and only told three people the same rumor. After a few hours of fermentation, it turned out that didn't expect With that many tricks, isn’t it interesting? "
"What did you say? "Lynn asked.
Crocodile replied: "I just said: Before the country was blocked, the Alabasta ship that went to sea was filled with treasures. "
Lynn was taken aback, "That's it?" "
"That's it. "
Crocodile's answer made Lynn bewildered, "Just a fake news, that many outrageous rumors can be fermented?" "
"Exactly. "Crocodile nodded, said with a smile: "Lynn, have you heard a proverb." "
"What? "
"a small leak will sink a great ship. "
Crocodile smoking a cigar, slowly said: "I admit that Alabasta is indeed a huge and cohesive country, but no matter how large a tenacious dam, it will be due to a small ant colony. And collapsed. "
Looking at Lynn in thought, Crocodile added with a smile: "Your fist can't kill the ant." "
"so that's how it is, you are right. "
After listening to Crocodile's words, Lynn nodded, got up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Crocodile said loudly with a smile: "So in the third round, did I win ? "
hearing this, Lynn also laughed and shook his head: "hahahahaha, me? lose? Don't be kidding!"
"But you are right, my fist can't kill the ant. "Lynn waved his hand, said without thinking.
However, just when Crocodile thought it was Lynn’s stiff mouth and wanted to ridicule a few more words, Lynn suddenly turned his head sideways, and the whole person’s imposing manner changed. It was fierce and violent.
At that moment, Crocodile even had a shuddering feeling.
Lynn grinned and said slowly with a smile:
"I Indeed, his fist can't kill ants..."
"But it can hit lions. "
