Pirate's Sword Tower Tavern

Kingdom of Alabasta.

Crocodile was as usual, holding a cigar, wearing a plaid shirt and a black fur coat, with his legs tapping on the table, with a look of displeasure on his face.

In this vast desert, the only person who can dress like this, except Lao Sha, is crazy.

Not long ago, he received a message.

A general of the Baroque Working Group, .3 Cangdang was imprisoned.

The person who captured him was Brigadier General Leonard, the adjutant of Lieutenant General Gumir of G2 Fortress, who was arrested in the Shampoo Islands.

It is said that .3 was beaten badly at that time.

Regarding this Brigadier General, Crocodile said that he had no idea who he was, but why Lieutenant General Gumir was on the Chambord Islands.

Isn't he the commander of G2 Fortress? As his adjutant, he should be following Gumir at all times.

In other words, Gumir was also on the Chambord Islands at that time.

The actions of a lieutenant general are worthy of scrutiny.

So the question is, is there any news worthy of attention on the Shampoo Islands recently?

Yes, that's the Dota Tavern.

Crocodile must have paid attention to the new strong men who appeared on the sea.

After all, the plan he is making does not allow for any mistakes.

Turning a page of today's newspaper, Crocodile's expression suddenly became worse.

If it used to be an expression of "It's not me, it's the world that's wrong", then now it's an expression of "Today I accidentally ate my daddy as chocolate and found out that my teeth are stuffed".

Crocodile put down the newspaper with a very gloomy expression and picked up the phone bug in his hand.

"No, no, no, no"

"boss."

"Go to the Knife Tower Tavern in the Shampoo Islands and kill the traitor SS. Golden Week."

"Hi, boss."

After just a few words, the phone was hung up.

Crocodile took a long drag on his cigar and looked up at the ceiling.

And on his desk, the headline of today's newspaper was the original Blade Tower Tavern that was destroyed by fire and then frozen in flames by a mysterious ice fruit user.

Reports at the time said the flames seemed to suddenly envelop the entire building, rather than growing in size bit by bit.

Therefore, Crocodile speculated that it might have been done by another person with abilities. As for who it is, it is still unknown.

Today, the Dota Tavern reopened, but it made the news because it distributed flyers all over the island. Reporters severely criticized the Dota Tavern for its shameless behavior.

The leaflets that fill the streets and alleys from door to door are simply a kind of damage to the environment of the Chambord Islands.

Even Major Bell at the naval base was interviewed.

"When he came to distribute leaflets, I actually refused at first, because if you can't come here to distribute them, I will let you distribute them. This is a naval base, and naval soldiers do not drink."

"We cannot delay the navy's duty to uphold justice because of drinking. But in fact, during a mission, I drank ale from the Dota Tavern. It was really delicious. Not only did it taste fragrant, but it also tasted very smooth. Trust me, I will look like this after drinking, and you will look like this after drinking."

What a fool.

It was agreed that the navy would not drink.

Crocodile saw that there was such a fool in the navy who became a major, and he couldn't help but feel worried for himself.

Why do I have to battle wits and courage with this group of staff makers?

However, from the newly opened photo of Dota Tavern, Crocodile saw SS. Golden Week eating and drinking senbei in the corner of the photo.

Since .3 was captured, ss. Golden Week has lost contact directly.

There is no way, this little girl has just joined the work club not long ago, and there is not even a reward.

At first, it was because she had the ability to guide people's subconscious that I chose her to join the work club. Who knew that she lost contact immediately.

He thought they were caught together by the navy, so Crocodile didn't pay too much attention.

Anyway, these members don't know that their boss behind the scenes is themselves, they only know the title of .0.

He didn't even know the historical text of the Kingdom of Alabasta that he was plotting against, so he thought it was just a secret service organization.

However, organizations have organizational rules.

Although SS. Golden Week is alive, he has joined the enemy camp, so naturally he cannot stay.

Otherwise, if she casually mentioned some information about their work company and attracted the navy, anyone smarter would be able to see the anomaly in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

But fortunately, Crocodile has already established himself as a hero of the Kingdom of Alabasta. Even if it affects his plan, it will only be achieved a little later.

After thinking about it, Crocodile suddenly felt much better.

On the other side, inside the Fishman Island.

Vander Deken is a descendant of the first generation Vander Deken, a broad-striped tiger shark. After eating the "Target Fruit" and becoming an esper, he lost the useful characteristics of a fishman due to the ability to obtain the fruit.

Therefore, when moving in the water, you must apply swimming coating on your body as a protective measure. Otherwise, although you will not drown, you will be unable to move.

Originally, Vanderdyken should have been living his life in Fishman Street as usual.

But recently, his heart has been very restless.

Because when the Draco appeared on Fish-Man Island a month ago, Vanderdeken witnessed with his own eyes the fact that Princess White Star summoned the Sea King type with her cry.

He learned that Bai Xing was the legendary mermaid princess who could control the Neptune species that the first ancestors had been looking for for many years.

In order to obtain this ability, Vanderdeken dreamed of marrying Shirahoshi.

But, in the final analysis, he is just a gangster in Fishman Street who everyone yells at.

But Bai Xing is aloof, and she is the princess of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and there is no intersection between the two.

Therefore, Vanderdyken has been looking for an opportunity to use his abilities on Princess White Star.

But it was not encountered.

Princess Otohime was assassinated two days ago. Although Shirahoshi was also present at the time, the situation was quickly brought under control because of the fishman who suddenly appeared and rescued the princess.

Otherwise, he could take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the crowd, touch Shirahoshi once with his hand, turn Shirahoshi into his sniper target, and deliver a love letter to her.

"Hey, if Princess Otohime dies, then at her funeral, wouldn't it be possible to secretly leave a mark on Shirahoshi's body?"

Vanderdeken suddenly thought of the possibility of contacting Princess White Star.

Compared with Princess Shirahoshi who doesn't go out often, Princess Otohime is busy in Fishman Island every day for autographs.

As long as he can secretly leave a mark on the princess, then

"Hey hey hey"

Vanderdeken couldn't help but laugh at his own wit.
