Arkham in the pirate world

When the war in the Kingdom of Alabasta officially began, Liszt met Rau again in a restaurant in the Chambord Cluster.

In just one day of not seeing each other, Rao transformed from a down-and-out middle-aged man into a successful man with two "entourages".

He was wearing a decent suit, his hair had been combed and shiny, and his beard was cleanly shaved. He looked much younger. However, the wrinkles on his face left by time and experience were like knife carvings and were difficult to cover up. .

As for the two young men behind him, they also dressed up, the bruises on their faces disappeared, and they were more energetic than before.

"Dear master, your servant Rao is willing to serve you," Rao said respectfully and humbly.

Liszt took a knife and fork and tasted the food in the restaurant. He glanced at him from the corner of his eye, then looked at the two young people, and said casually, "Which play is this?"

Compared to the calm and unhurried Rawu, the two young men, who were still immature, were much more awkward. Yesterday they dared to rob Liszt with swords and guns, but now that they knew Liszt's identity, they acted as if they had done something wrong. The little child.

Rao immediately took out a blueprint, put it on the table, and said, "This is the underground power relationship diagram of that guy in Xiangbo Group."

Liszt glanced over, did not speak, and continued to eat breakfast. Rao stood quietly aside. In such an atmosphere, the two people behind him were so nervous that they did not dare to take a big breath, and sweat even flowed down their foreheads.

Until Liszt finished his breakfast, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Because your business was destroyed by the Don Quixote family, you ended up on the street. You have a grudge, and you want to use me to help you deal with Doflamingo."

Rawu quickly lowered his head and said in fear, "I don't dare. How dare you take advantage of an adult?"

Liszt picked up the paper on the table, opened it, took a look at it, then threw it into the trash can, and said, "Did you know that Doflamingo's slave auction house in Shampoo Group is secretly serving the Celestial Dragons?"

Rawu was stunned for a moment, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he lay on the ground and said, "Sir, please spare my life, I really don't know."

"Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know?"

"Youngster, I really don't know," Rawu said with great fear.

Liszt shook his head and said, "It's a pity. A person needs to have a smart mind and be honest enough. You are not honest enough."

When Rao heard this, he suddenly panicked.

"However, I am still willing to give you a chance. People change, right?"

"Yes, yes," Rawu, whose mood fell to the bottom, immediately nodded repeatedly.

Liszt stood up and said, "I will arrange a task for you, wait for the news."

After Liszt left the restaurant, Raou got up from the ground. He felt that his back was covered with sweat, and the wind blew, making it especially cold.

The two young men did not laugh at the embarrassed Rao, because their legs were shaking in the atmosphere just now.

This is probably a big shot.

However, the strange thing is why they were not afraid yesterday

Ignorant and fearless

Not long after Liszt walked out of the restaurant, a guy in a black suit found him.

"Lord Chalmac wants to see you," the black suit said with a cold face.

The great route, a certain sea area.

A ghost-like raft with candles lit at its four corners was moving forward extremely smoothly amidst the undulating waves.

Right in front of the sail of the raft, there was a man sitting with a big sword on his back. He wore a black hat with white fluff on his head, a burgundy patterned shirt, a black windbreaker, white trousers, and black boots. He has a cross knife hanging on his chest, has sharp yellow eyes like an eagle, and has a short beard on his chin.

Jorah Kormihawk

The man known as the greatest swordsman in the world, one of the Seven Warriors under the King.

Alabasta, the Rain Land, the largest casino in the city center, in a spacious hall of the "Rain Banquet", Crocodile faced his men and announced his "Utopia" combat plan.

Influenced by Lister, Crocodile has also made some changes now. For example, he invested in a new casino in the New World Cessna, giving him a stronghold in the New World. In addition, a few years ago, he His identity is no longer a secret among the senior agents of the Baroque Working Society. They have all been personally interviewed by Crocodile. As a result, his control over the entire working society is higher than in the original plot. Although he The real purpose has not been announced until now, but the senior agents in the work agency basically know that the entire organization is working towards a great goal, and the degree of loyalty to the organization will naturally be raised to a higher level.

There have also been some changes in the staff of the Baroque Working Society.

The person who served as Crocodile's secretary was replaced by R, who contacted various senior agents.

r, because of Dazbonis's "betrayal", he was replaced by a guy as strong as an ox. His real name is unknown, but he is an animal-type Devil Fruit user who once participated in the "trial" of Dazbonis. One of the people of Zponis.

Because of r's promotion, r's partner was changed to iaay. Of course, this person is definitely not Robin, but an old nun who likes to wear gorgeous clothes.

As for the rest of the staff, there are no changes.

Just after Crocodile announced the "Utopia" combat plan, R, who was sent to eliminate the Straw Hats and Princess Vivi, suddenly appeared and brought news of the mission's failure. Such an accident made Crocodile furious. , but did not shake his will at all, r was punished, and the "Utopia" battle will continue, but Crocodile has noticed the existence of Luffy and the others.

"Another spoiler? Hey, can't my plan go smoothly?" Crocodile smoked a cigar, and his left hand, replaced by a golden hook, turned black little by little.

In the Kingdom of Flowers, Crocodile was very unwilling after being defeated by Liszt.

It was precisely because of unwillingness that changes were made

It was not only his surroundings that changed, but also himself. Setting foot in the new world again was the beginning of Crocodile's change.

At the same time, not long after leaving the city of Yuba, which had dried up due to the sandstorm, the Straw Hats had a quarrel in the desert.

Princess Vivi wants to go back the way she came, to Catlea, to stop Kosa who wants to launch a rebellion, but Luffy wants to directly defeat Crocodile, the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy.

"After stopping the guy who wants to rebel, can we stop the crocodile? Even if we go to that city, we can't do anything. Who will listen to the pirates' advice?" Luffy said, this was one of the few times he calmed down. wisdom.

This thought made everyone nod slightly.

"Although this guy has no brains, he can occasionally tell the truth," Sanji commented.

"It doesn't sound like what Luffy said." Usopp was surprised.

"That's a bit like a captain." Ciel smiled. Luffy's idea was actually right, but the current Straw Hat Pirates alone could defeat the evolved Sand Crocodile.

Although after this period of escape and running-in, the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates has also improved, but

Well

The boss has some arrangements, right?

These silly, cute boys, I really don’t want them to die here.

"You don't want anyone to die in this war, those citizens and us pirates."

"But our opponents are the pirates of the Shichibukai, and the battle involves tens of thousands of people, but you hope that everyone will be safe."

Luffy looked at Princess Vivi and said, "You're too naive."

"What's wrong with this? I hope everyone doesn't die. What's wrong with this?" Princess Weiwei said loudly.

"People are mortal," Luffy said solemnly.

"Shut up, don't say such things again"

Princess Vivi suddenly exploded and knocked Luffy over with one punch.

"If you dare to say such things again, I can't spare you. Aren't we going to stop this tragedy now?"

"No one is at fault, whether it's the rebels, the king's army, or the people of this country. Why do people have to die? It's all the crocodile's fault."

Luffy stood up, turned around, punched Princess Vivi, and asked, "Then why did you risk your life to do it?"

"After seeing this country, even I know what to do first. It's up to you to fight with your own strength, and how to fight them."

"Then, what should I use to fight them? I absolutely can't spare that person. I can't do anything except risk my own life."

"Fight with our lives, we are partners," Luffy shouted loudly.

Princess Weiwei covered her mouth, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Actually, you are the most unwilling person. You want to beat that guy and tell me where the crocodile is."

Cattleya.

Kosa, who brought back the weapons, gathered the rebel army and issued flags symbolizing the revolutionary army to the generals leading each unit.

At the bottom of the flag is a rake-like figure, and above it is a human-like figure with a pair of wings.

But the most eye-catching thing is the large letters written on both sides of the flag.

"ra"

It means "rbaa", which means "resistance".

"Kosa, what does this mean?" Farafola, who was wrapped in a broken arm, asked doubtfully. He broke his arm in a battle to protect Kosa.

"The people who gave us the weapons hope that we will fly this flag when we attack the royal capital. As a condition, they will also give us a batch of wine and drinking water." Kebiti Kosa explained to his companions.

"Are those people the revolutionary army?"

"Maybe, I heard that they are setting off rebellions all over the world, intending to overthrow the rule of the world government. It is normal for them to notice us now," Kebi said.

Kosha glanced at the flag on the table, but felt that the matter was not as simple as Kebi said. There might be some conspiracy in it, but he had no way out.

"Hey, what's the noise outside?"

Kosha walked out of the tent and saw a child shouting.

The royal capital, Albana.

Entrusted by Princess Weiwei, Karu Duck "Run Fast" returned the autographed letter revealing Crocodile's true identity to the palace, where he was met by the adjutants of the Kingdom Guard, Bell of the Falcon and Gaka of the Jackal.

Cobra, who read the letter, said with shock and remorse, "This blow is indeed a bit big, because he is on the government's side, so I was careless and didn't expect the crocodile to want to subvert this country. "

After knowing the truth, Kobra showed his decisive side and ordered the king's army to gather to prepare to attack Crocodile in the Rainlands.

The two adjutants quickly persuaded that Yudi was far away from the royal capital. If the army went on an expedition and the other side avoided fighting and delayed it, there would be supply problems and they would fall into a passive position. Moreover, there were still a large number of rebels gathered in Cattleya. If the rebel army takes the opportunity to attack the royal capital, the king's army will be attacked from both sides. It will be difficult for them not to be defeated.

In addition, Crocodile has done many good deeds in recent years, and his prestige among the people has even surpassed that of Kobra. The king's army hastily set out to fight, but it has no name, and will be cursed by the people.

In short, Kobra's sudden and decisive decision was not supported by his lieutenant.

But Kobra also has his reasons. He firmly believes that the most important thing in the country is "people". Therefore, even if the palace is attacked by the rebels, even if the king's army is wiped out, as long as Crocodile can be defeated, the people will still rebuild the country. , but if a war breaks out with the rebels now, Crocodile will be the one who smiles most proudly.

The king's order was everything. Although they felt that such an order was unreasonable, the two lieutenants still followed the king's will to consider the problem.

rain.

After the senior agents of Baroque Studio left, Crocodile enjoyed the impatient wait for the final fruits of victory.

"B, I have your phone number." Paula, also known as R, walked in, holding the phone bug.

"Um"

"It's Mr. Arkham," said Paula.

Crocodile frowned subconsciously, exhaled smoke from his mouth, and said, "Why is that guy at this time?"

He was reluctant, but he still took the phone bug, and Pola took the initiative to withdraw.

Although Crocodile gave his subordinates more trust, he still only believed in himself on some confidential matters.

"Hey, Stinky Bat, what do you want to talk about?" Crocodile said in an unkind tone.

"It's really cold. After all, we are also partners, right?" Liszt said with a smile.

Crocodile had a black line on his forehead and said, "Partner, when did we become partners? Utilization, you are using me, I am using you, it's just this kind of relationship."

"Okay, just use it. Then, no matter what you want to do in Alabasta, don't destroy my interests, otherwise, you will be in trouble, more trouble than you think." Liszt warned.

"Hahaha" Crocodile laughed and said, "I know what you, stinky bat, want to do. Send firearms to the rebels and flags of the revolutionary army, and turn them into the revolutionary army. Then, you will have a reason to suppress them." They. I heard that the World Government hopes that you can send an armed force to fight against the revolutionary army. Do you want to come to Alabasta?"

"It's really a smart crocodile, but people who are too smart often don't end well." Lister said.

"Hey, Alabasta is my territory. If you want to come in, you should ask my opinion."

"I also know what you want to do, Crocodile. You want to find the ancient legendary weapon, Pluto?"

Crocodile exhaled the smoke and said calmly, "I almost forgot, where is that woman? So, is the historical text hidden in this country really the part that records ancient weapons? Is it really necessary? Thank you, I feel relieved."

Crocodile thought it was Robin, and deduced the historical text of Alabasta from the historical text, and told Liszt.

Regarding Crocodile's accurate inference from his words, Liszt said indifferently, "It is very scary for a weak child to wield a sharp long knife. No one knows Will he slash at his enemy or kill himself."

"Kid hahaha" Crocodile laughed.

"Did you call me specifically to make me laugh? Well, you succeeded."

"Okay, I just want to reveal some information to you to prevent you from doing something wrong. After all, you still have some value."

"intelligence"

"The Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey Luffy, who is receiving a bounty from the World Government, have arrived in your territory."

"Um"

"Do you know why I let them go?"

"why"

"That Luffy, his grandfather is the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp, his father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Drago, and his leader is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors. The straw hat on his head is a token. It's him and Shanks. Agreement. You understand now," Liszt said.

Crocodile was stunned and asked, "What are you saying is true? Hello?"

Liszt has hung up the phone.

Crocodile put down the phone, frowned, and took a deep breath.

"This is a bit tricky."

It's more than tricky. Crocodile feels a little bit pained. Garp, Dorag, and Shanks, who are not world-famous big shots, are the guys who can compete with Whitebeard who once drove him out of the new world, even if they face each other. Fighting one of them is enough to make Crocodile scratch his head. Now, if he fights three at once, his two fists are still hard to beat with four hands. Now, if he fights with six hands, he will be beaten, and he will just run away.

Crocodile smoked a cigar a little irritably.

No wonder Lister would rather risk offending the World Government to let the Straw Hats go on his territory.

Yes, based on Crocodile's understanding of Liszt, it was clear that if he really wanted to take action, the Straw Hats would not be able to escape. So, it was obvious that Liszt let them go on purpose.

It is based on this judgment that even though the Straw Hats have a very high bounty, Crocodile never looked at them until he received a call from Lister. After all, they were just a group of people who had just come from a place like the East China Sea. Newbie pirate

But now, Crocodile is a little annoyed. Letting a guy with a background like Luffy get involved with Princess Vivi has become a serious problem for him.

What's more important is that this guy can't be killed yet. At least, before he gets that thing and has enough power to compete with Dorag and Shanks, it's better to make fewer enemies.

It's too bad, after so many years of low-key development, and now it's about to succeed, it suddenly comes out to disrupt the situation.

Disgusting, so disgusting, Crocodile felt like he had eaten a fly, cursing in his heart
