Chapter 123
Crocodile, nicknamed [Crocodile], is currently Oka Shichibukai.
Currently, he is forming a temporary alliance with [BOSS] Lynn · Barek, and teaming up to sneak into Water 7 to investigate the whereabouts of the Dark King blueprint.
Crocodile tracked down the whereabouts of the Dark King for many years, and even unearthed a world-level secret such as "The information about the Dark King literature is in Alabasta".
Because of this, unlike the more casual Lynn, Crocodile's investigation has a very clear purpose.
The Dark King is rumored to have been built by Water 7 craftsmen 800 years ago, so the people most likely to master the Dark King design are undoubtedly the Water 7 craftsmen.
So, after Crocodile separated from Lynn, he went to the various shipbuilding ports of Water 7 to investigate.
Usually, the shipyard is the site of the shipmaker, and most people cannot sneak into it. However, at this time, it is the Mask Carnival, and the shipyard has become one of the attractions of Water 7 and is open to the public.
In Water 7, the boatmaker is the idol of the children, and now the boatmaker Tom has invented a sea train that can save Water 7, so the children of Water 7 also admire the boatmakers more.
Taking advantage of the Mask Carnival, the parents also led their children to the shipyard to see the craftsmanship of the boatman.
Crocodile is wearing a black fur coat, lined with a suit, with a cigar in his mouth, and a black half-face mask on his face, just like a gentleman.
He walked through several shipyards and only got some trivial information. For example, Water 7 now has many nobles and noble guards all over Water 7, but there is not much critical information. .
Noon.
Crocodile found an open-air coffee shop, and ordered a cup of coffee after sitting down. While sipping coffee, he said with emotion:
"he he he he, the hometown of Dark King, It's a lot more peaceful than I thought."
After a cup of coffee, Crocodile looked at the two people sitting at the table next to him.
The two people are wearing gray robes, wearing hoods, and wearing their masks tightly. The whole person is wrapped in airtight.
"Ah, I take back the foreword."
Crocodile sneered slightly, then got up and left.
The two gray robes immediately got up when they saw this, followed along without a trace, and kept a safe distance from Crocodile to ensure that they would not be discovered by him.
They followed Crocodile around a few turns, and finally walked into an alley.
This alley is a dead end. It seems to be under construction. There is still a lot of sand scattered on the ground.
The two looked around, but they didn't see Crocodile at all.
What about people?
The two gray robes looked at each other and felt bad. Just about to turn around and escape, the sand on the ground began to gather and eventually swallowed their ankles and trapped them there.
The yellow sand floated, and the silhouette of Crocodile slowly appeared in front of the two men. He stretched out his right hand and planned to take off one of them.
"Let me see who is the one who dared to follow me."
However, after Crocodile saw the man’s true face, he was taken aback, and then couldn’t bear it. Zhui laughed in a low voice, and a few stern eyes flashed in his eyes.
"he he he he, things are getting more and more interesting."
……
One day passed quickly.
In the evening, Crocodile returned to the bench in the square as scheduled.
But before he came closer, he found that there was something more on the bench than during the day.
I saw a huge three-headed pink cat-shaped plush doll sitting on one end of the bench, with his hands on his chest, his entire head drooping, as if sleeping.
"Why is there a toy placed here?"
Crocodile frowns, sat on the other side of the bench.
It doesn't matter, let's wait for Lynn Barek to come over and see what information he got from him, but I found something quite interesting!
That lunatic who can only throw his fists must be extremely bad at gathering intelligence, right? There is a reason to choke him.
Crocodile lit a cigar for himself, raised his legs, admiring the taste of the cigar, and sorting out the information in his mind.
By the way, Lynn Barek is really slow. Why hasn't he come back? Couldn't he be killed by "the group of people"?
After a long time, just as Crocodile lost his patience, he was considering getting up and looking for Lynn.
The cat-shaped doll on the other side of the bench suddenly turned its head, staring at Crocodile with a big face, and made a low voice:
" , Are you pretending to be deep?"
At that moment, Crocodile was taken aback, and even almost used elemental transformation to make the distance.
What is this thing alive? !
Isn't it a toy?
However, after he came back to his senses, he found that the sound of the pink cat-shaped doll was somewhat familiar.
"Lynn Barek?"
The doll cat is nodded.
Crocodile: "..."
It's really him!
Crocodile took a deep breath and asked: "What is this?"
Lynn replied solemnly: "This is a barbecue cat."
Crocodile: "..."
He resisted the mess, rubbed his temples, and sighed: "I understand that you want to hide your identity, but is it necessary to wear this thing?"
p>Lynn looked to the sky helplessly, "This matter is a bit complicated."
"Is it related to intelligence?"
"No."
"Then don't say it."
Crocodile didn't intend to give Lynn a chance to mess around, and directly asked in a low voice: "What information did you find?"
Lynn replied: "The plan of Water 7 and the approximate deployment position of the noble guards, as well as news about Celestial Dragon."
Hearing this, Crocodile couldn't help but stunned. The quality of intelligence obtained by Lynn far exceeded His imagination.
Lynn then asked, "What about you?"
"He he he he, I knew you would ask that."
Crocodile got up and put on a pose Waved his hand and said to Lynn: "Come with me, there are far more interesting things on this island than you think."
Lynn was a little confused, but still followed him.
So, there is a pink three-headed barbecue cat beside dignified Shichibukai.
Crocodile with a complex mood selectively ignored this situation, searching the streets with his eyes.
"Aha, I found it."
He walked toward an ordinary passerby wearing a gray robe and a mask on the street, and suddenly stretched out his right hand. He strangled his throat with a close-fitting posture.
The desiccation ability was activated, and the passerby was instantly absorbed the water in his body, and he lost the ability to resist.
Afterwards, Crocodile escorted the passer-by with his right hand and walked into an alley with Lynn.
Deep in the alley.
Lynn noticed that Crocodile’s move didn’t leave any hands behind. Ordinary people would undoubtedly die. So slightly frowned, “Who is he? Even if he is an enemy, he should stay alive to ask for information. "
Crocodile turned his head and said in a low voice, "enemy?"
After that, he used his right hand to pinch the man’s neck, and the golden hook on his left hand The man’s mask was picked off, and his grinning said with a smile:
"Do you call this thing'human'?"
Lynn took a closer look and found that the man's face was extremely terrifying There are traces of stitches everywhere on it, the whole face is not bloody, a pair of eyeballs are rolling around, as if they are about to fall off.
"This is..." Lynn's browse tightly knit.
Crocodile spit out a mouthful of cigar smoke, slowly spit out two words:
"zombie."
