Chapter 232
Old Sand...No...Crocodile is a very shrewd Oka Shichibukai.
Why is he the first one to accept World Government's Zhaoan and become Oka Shichibukai's Great Pirate?
Is it because of Crocodile? As soon as he heard the call from the World Government, he hurried over to kneel and lick?
That is definitely not!
Is that because Crocodile is too strong? Strong enough to have become the best candidate for World Government in mind?
Definitely not.
All of this actually stems from Crocodile who is too shrewd, so shrewd that he was the first to realize the various benefits that Oka Shichibukai can bring.
As long as you become an Oka Shichibukai, you no longer need to worry about being punished by Marine during plundering, and most importantly, Oka Shichibukai has a positive image.
Because of some early years of experience, Crocodile realized the absolute difference in strength between himself and the Peak powerhouses on this sea.
The Crocodile of the year was also a high-spirited and vigorous youngster, and when he was less than 20 years old, he made his name with lightning speed, just like the future "Fire Fist" "Ace" has risen extremely rapidly.
It is a pity that after facing those Legendary powerhouses, he suffered a heavy blow to his heart.
Since then, Crocodile have no desire to improve, no longer obsessed with the cultivation of its own strength, and turned to join the ranks of "wise men", becoming a behind-the-scenes BOSS relying on wisdom and strategy.
Crocodile investigated the Royal Family burial chamber of the Neferrutari family in the Grand Line Alabasta Kingdom. There is a great probability of hiding the information about the "Dark King", one of the three ancient weapons.
In order to steal the Dark King, Crocodile began to use the positive image of Oka Shichibukai to package itself as the hero of Alabasta, and was committed to gaining the unanimous trust of Alabasta from the king to the people.
Although Hailan’s last counterattack at Alabasta caused Crocodile to waste a lot of energy, Crocodile ultimately retained its positive image.
In Crocodile's plan, a key key is now missing.
"Dark King" information is known to be recorded on Poneglyph, and Poneglyph is an ancient text that requires professional archaeologists to interpret.
The reason why Crocodile came to West Blue was to look for Nico Robin, the "son of the devil", the little girl who was bountyed 79 million Beli as a child, and the only survivor of O'Hara.
In order to highlight Robin’s dangers, World Government even reported in the newspapers that Robin destroyed 8 Battleships when he was 8 years old, making everyone stay away.
When Hailan saw Crocodile appearing here, she guessed that Crocodile might have some secret actions.
Otherwise, what would a Great Pirate from Grand Line and a hero from Alabasta come to West Blue for?
Traveling?
So even if Crocodile turned and left on the spot, and did not reveal the identity of Hailan, Hailan still chased it out.
This is his role as Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters.
But Crocodile does not want to have any intersection with Hailan.
As the most savvy Oka Shichibukai, Crocodile has already organized an intelligence organization called the "Baroque Works Room" and, like Doflamingo, has also arranged undercover agents in Marine Headquarters.
It’s just that this undercover agent is not like Vergo, he is involved in everything, and Crocodile’s spies are only responsible for passing on information.
The day tiger Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters Hai Lan is a who, but Crocodile is clear.
Crocodile, Doflamingo, and the empress that only recently joined Oka Shichibukai, they all suffered from Hailan's hands.
You can't kill, but the opponent is the son of Marine Headquarters Chief Instructor and Former Admiral Black Arm Zephyr. Killing him Zephyr can't kill himself?
Besides...I can’t kill...the other party is not shrimp soldiers and crab generals...
I slipped away...
As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Crocodile drifted away from the island in a windy sand.
He doesn't worry about revealing his ability and identity.
Looking at the wisps of wind and sand in the sky, Hailan became more sure of her guess.
This Crocodile runs as soon as he sees himself, it is definitely a ghost in his heart!
It's a pity that in the vast crowd on the street, the ability to use the Aurora Fruit on the spot or the Geppo chase directly reveals the identity.
Seven turns and eight turns, finally found an alley with no one.
With a flash, Hai Lan turned into a flash of aurora and chased Crocodile instantly.
hehe... secretly turning into light... how does this feel like the Ultraman secretly turning on the transforming device...
Fortunately, it’s still daytime. Hailan didn't deliberately increase the brightness of the aurora, so who didn't even notice him.
……
In the restaurant, Koala walked out of the kitchen with a prepared meal.
"Bai Wuchang, taste what I have learned... Hai... Hi! What about Bai Wuchang others?!!!"
didn't expect Without Hailan's silhouette, Koala almost missed her mouth in a hurry.
The guests in the restaurant were shocked. Is the swordsman just now the famous Bai Wuchang?
That was the mysterious swordsman who slaughtered the entire base of the Matthew family with the help of one person. Was it so easy-going in normal?
I thought he was a scared face, killing without blinking an eye.
It is said that in the Auction House of the Matthew family that day, there was a little princess who was spending money and a duck who can discharge... these features...
didn't expect It turns out that they are in the same group!
The red-haired waiter explained: "He just ran out chasing an uncle called Old Sand."
"Old Sand?"
Isn't it Crocodile? Is he coming to West Blue too?
Koala was too busy in the kitchen just now, so he didn't notice the outside situation at all.
"Pikachu! Let's go!"
Behind him came Boss's voice: "Miss...then this cooking...?"
"Let's put it here first!"
After Koala and Pikachu left, UU read www. uukanshu.com Boss looked at the delicacies placed at the front desk, it was hunger and thirst.
Although Koala’s cooking skills are definitely not as good as West Blue’s cooking skills, but this is after all the cooking recipes...
Hmm...
Sure enough!
But when he thought that this was a special dish for Bai Wuchang, Boss didn't dare to deal with it casually.
He called the waiter: "Kirno...can you learn how to cook this dish?"
"Boss, you are not afraid of Bai Wuchang after he comes back Talk to you about that?"
Cirno casually pointed to a swordsman's sword, and Boss shuddered in fright.
" hehe ... hehe ..."
embarrassed smile or two, Boss wiped sweat: "That still do not learn it ..."
