Arkham in the pirate world

"Bo, we found traces of the Straw Hats in the city, as well as Captain Smoker and other marines in Rogue Town. They seemed to have encountered an encounter. Smoker is chasing the Straw Hats."

Just when Crocodile was unhappy, Pola came in again to report to Crocodile.

Crocodile was stunned after hearing this and said, "Where's Princess Vivi? Is she here too? Didn't they go to Cattleya to stop the rebels?"

"Princess Vivi is here too, they didn't go to Cattleya" Pola said.

"Isn't this what we want to see? If they had not contacted the rebels, everything would have gone according to Bo's plan. As long as we are here and catch them all, no one can stop us."

Crocodile was speechless when he heard this. Indeed, what he was afraid of before was that Princess Weiwei went to find the leader of the rebel army, Kou Sha, and used her relationship with Kou Sha's childhood sweetheart to prevent the rebel army from attacking the royal capital, and also exposed his His true appearance will bring a lot of trouble to his plan.

Therefore, Crocodile even slightly changed his plan and asked Feng Clay and the others to go to Catlea first, which completely aroused the anger of the rebels. At that time, even if Princess Vivi and the others went there, it would be of no avail.

If they had followed the original plan, and the Straw Hats, Princess Vivi, and the others had come to the Rain Land, it would have been exactly what Crocodile had hoped for. He could have solved all the troubles here, assuming there was no phone call from Liszt.

It's a bit embarrassing now. From the bottom of his heart, Crocodile now hopes that Luffy and Princess Vivi will go to Cattleya, so that he doesn't have to think about how to solve this troublesome problem.

The three people Liszt mentioned are Garp, Dorag, and Shanks.

First of all, Crocodile is the least afraid of Garp, because Garp is a navy, he is a Shichibukai, and the Straw Hats are pirates. With his identity, there is no problem in arresting the Straw Hats. It's Karp, so you can't stand up and accuse him. This is a matter of position determined by identity and stance.

As for Dolag, the leader of the revolutionary army, Crocodile was a little afraid, but he didn't care too much. Although the revolutionary army was now huge, the World Government was still the most powerful force in the sea, and he was still Being on the side of the World Government, Dorag should also be a little wary.

On the contrary, Shanks, as one of the Four Emperors, does not have a fixed territory. There is not much that he can worry about, which makes Crocodile even more frightened. People like Crocodile are actually not that afraid. Those in the middle, who are bound by all kinds of rules and abide by the rules, are afraid of guys like Shanks, who do whatever they want, are fearless, stronger than him, and more ruthless than him.

Generally speaking, I agree with that sentence, be afraid of being ruthless, and be afraid of losing your life if you are ruthless.

After thinking for a moment, Crocodile suddenly asked, "You said that Smoker guy is arresting the Straw Hats?"

“Yes bo”

Crocodile thought about it and said, "Where is Vice Admiral Stoloberg's fleet?"

"Vice Admiral Stoloberg's fleet encountered Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates who came here for some reason. After a conflict broke out between the two sides, five warships were attacked by Ace. It was sunk by the Russian Navy, and I heard that Lieutenant General Stoloberg was also slightly injured and is currently undergoing repairs in Tamalisk," Pola said.

"Ayes the fire fist"

On Cessna Island, Crocodile had seen him from a distance. He was an impulsive, irritable, but also energetic young man.

You know, the Whitebeard Pirates have not accepted a new captain for nearly ten years, because to become the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, strength is only one aspect, and more importantly, you have to get your father, the man known as The recognition of "The World's Strongest Man" Edward Newgate, this recognition is more about character. If he is the kind of bad guy with no bottom line, no matter how strong he is, he will not be recognized by his father.

As for Ace, being able to receive such recognition and take up the position of captain of the Second Division that had been vacant for many years shows that Edward Newgate has great love for him and even hopes for it.

"Although Fire Fist Ace repelled Lieutenant General Stoloberg's pursuit, he seemed to be injured and disappeared," Pola said.

Crocodile has been operating in Alabasta for many years and has built a complete intelligence network. In this regard, he has done a good job.

"Then don't worry about them. The navy cannot interfere in the domestic affairs of the alliance. Even if Kobra asks the world government for help, the world government will be more inclined to send cihero instead of the navy. Of course, that time in the South China Sea was an accident , the revolutionary army has made too much trouble and has undermined the overall strategy of the world government."

Crocodile said, going through the plan in his mind. In fact, Crocodile was more worried about the fact that he would not be involved in this matter now than the Straw Hats who were invited by Princess Vivi to get involved in the matter. Lister who knows where.

During the call just now, he stated what he had guessed about Liszt's plan. It seemed certain, but it was actually a kind of test.

Crocodile wanted to find out Liszt's true purpose.

In recent years, the Arkham Group has controlled two port cities, Tamalisk and Nahana, through economic infiltration. The Arkham Group is behind the local demonstrations and the theft of power by businessmen. .

Of course, Crocodile acquiesced to the occurrence of these things because he had exchanged interests with Lister, such as his casino on Cessna Island, and these things would not affect his plan.

Crocodile is one of the few people who knows Lister's "true face". This cunning guy has been spreading money in Alabasta, and he definitely has an ulterior purpose. That purpose once made Crocodile think it was an ancient weapon. "Pluto", but later Liszt's method of translating historical texts was made public, which aroused his suspicion. Precisely because he could not figure out Liszt, Crocodile had always been afraid.

Crocodile took a deep breath and wiped away a trace of worry in his heart. At this point, there is no way out. It is not his style to worry about this and that. He has made a big bet, so let's go all out.

After his eyes became firm, Crocodile immediately said, "I will leave here and rush to Albana."

Paula was startled and said, "The Straw Hats and Princess Vivi"

Crocodile stood up and said, "Let them struggle with the smokers first. If they get here, you will deal with them."

"I" Paula's tone was slightly heavier, revealing her inner surprise and worry.

The Straw Hat Pirates' bounty is not low, and they have also killed R3, Golden Week, R5, and iValentine. Pola doesn't think she will be stronger than them, because her position is that of a secretary. Is a combatant.

When Crocodile passed by Pola, he said firmly, "Yes, it's up to you to stop them. All the people here are under your control. This is an order."

"Yes"

Pola is still more afraid of Crocodile than the straw hat gang. This boss is not that easy to talk to. Not long ago, he sucked r3 who failed the mission into a mummy and threw it into a fish pond with banana crocodiles.

Crocodile paused when he reached the stairs and said, "Just do your best. You don't have to go all out. You can't stop those guys."

The worried Pola was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see that Crocodile had stepped up the steps step by step, finally opened the door, and disappeared in the light that came in from outside the door.

Although Crocodile has not read the Thirty-Six Strategies and does not know that one of them is very famous, that is, the best strategy is to take advantage of the situation, but now he is faced with the Straw Hats who are neither willing to kill nor to kill, so he made a smart choice. "Run away".

There is a big boss behind you. If you can't afford it, why can't you hide it?

At this time, in the rainland, Smoker and other marines were chasing the Straw Hats, causing chaos in the city.

In the "Rain Banquet" of the casino, Pola took over Crocodile's baton. When it comes to aggressive battles, women are generally not as good as men, but if they are careful and smart, women can beat men ten blocks away.

Pola is able to rise to the top because of her intelligence. She is very good at handling intelligence.

After receiving the rights granted by Crocodile, information in the city was soon delivered to her.

Judging from the direction in which the Straw Hats are heading, their goal is undoubtedly the "Rain Feast" in the city center, because no matter how Smoker and the other navy pursue them, they are approaching here.

Well, it's very simple. "Rain Feast" is Crocodile's lair. In order to deal with possible enemies, there are various traps inside.

Introduce them to Yuyan and use the traps laid before to catch them all.

Just as Paula expected, after Luffy and the others broke into the "Rain Feast", they relied only on their recklessness and were chased by Smoker. They panicked and were deceived into a trap by a very simple little trick. .

A cage made of sea tower stone

In order to chase Luffy and the others, Smoker also fell into the trap.

In the monitoring room inside the "Rain Banquet", through the monitoring of the phone bug, Paula could clearly see the situation in the Hailou Stone Cage.

"Monkey d Luffy"

Pola took the Straw Hat Pirates' bounty list and compared it one by one.

Because the Straw Hat Pirates made a big fuss in the East China Sea, all members have bounties on them, well, Chopper, the new member of Drum Island, is not among them.

It can be said that Pola basically knows the situation of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Roronoa Zoro"

"Usopp"

"Captain Smoker"

Paula raised her eyebrows, there were two reward lists left, one for Ciel and one for Sanji.

The reason for such an accident is that the members of the Straw Hat Pirates ran away while Smoker and other navy were chasing them.

"Are there two more people outside? No, if you include Princess Weiwei, there are three. Yeah, it's two."

Pola glanced through the surveillance camera and saw Princess Weiwei sneaking in.

"Being able to become a mid-level agent, I Wednesday is still somewhat capable. It's a pity."

"What a pity"

A voice appeared very suddenly behind Pola. Pola's body tensed up instantly, and then spikes sprouted all over her body, like a hedgehog, and they stabbed behind her at the same time.

However, Pola didn't stab anyone, it was like stabbing in the air. However, she also used this attack to turn around. With a glance from the corner of her eye, the guard who was originally guarding the door fell to the ground. You know when you were killed.

how is this possible

Paula was surprised. She didn't hear any movement or sound. She was too absorbed in it.

Pola's eyes fell on the young man next to the fallen guard. He was wearing a long brown trench coat and a bowler hat. He looked like a detective.

Conspirator, Charles

Pola recognized this special crew member with a higher bounty than the captain at a glance, and planned the culprit to attack the Celestial Dragons.

Not

It wasn't that she was too involved, but that the man in front of her had a very special ability, because she saw him jump to the ground, but she couldn't hear the sound of landing.

"You are a conspirator, Charles." Although his identity has been confirmed, Pola still asked, on the one hand subconsciously, and on the other hand, he was also trying to buy himself some time.

"Don't be nervous"

Ciel smiled and said, "There's no need to press the emergency button. I'm here to find the sand crocodile, Crocodile."

Pola's hand that had been placed on the operating table behind her stopped after hesitation, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do with Bo?"

"There was something going on, but now, it seems that he has left." Charles looked at the surveillance camera first, paying attention to the changes in Pola's facial expressions and eyes, and confirmed his guess.

"You have gone to Albana. What is the order Crocodile left for you?" Ciel asked.

Paula was silent.

"If you don't tell me, I can probably guess something. In this case, I'll take my leave and continue your work. Oh, by the way, don't reveal to anyone that I've been here. It's for my own good and yours." good"

Charles walked out just as he came in, without making any sound, as if he didn't exist.

At this time, a fierce exchange of fire suddenly sounded in the control room. Pola woke up from a dream and looked around quickly.

Right at the entrance of the "Rain Feast", Chopper, the humanoid reindeer, attracted a large number of guards, and Sanji took the opportunity to sneak in.

Seeing this, Pola put aside her inner doubts and directed the battle in the "Rain Banquet".

Ciel successfully left the "Rain Feast". In terms of "infiltration" and "escape", if used well, his fruit ability is also very outstanding. If combined with the invisibility fruit ability, it will be even more perfect. It is completely The air killer that comes and goes without a trace

He took out the mask he bought from a roadside stall, went to a jewelry store with a bat flag hanging outside, and walked straight into the store.

There were not many customers in the store. Although it was strange for someone like him to wear a mask, the customers only glanced at him briefly and didn't care.

In a place like Yudi, there are always some people who don't want to reveal their identity, so the mask becomes a very practical thing.

"What does the customer want?" the clerk came up and asked.

"I want a sapphire that burns like fire, maybe you can help me find it"

The clerk glanced at him and said with a smile, "Flame is red and water is blue. The gem you mentioned may only appear in dreams. You should go to a fortune teller and ask him to give you a sweet dream. He will exist"

Charles walked out of the jewelry store and followed the clerk's instructions to find the fortune telling stall on the corner of the street.

This jewelry store is the intelligence station of the Arkham Group located in the rainland. As for how to distinguish the intelligence station from an ordinary store, it involves some code words.

The fortune teller is a connector. After exchanging code words with the connector, the fortune teller hints at a location.

He found it. It was a bar. Because it was broad daylight, there were not many customers. Charles talked to the owner and after confirming his identity, he showed an ID. The owner immediately respectfully invited him to the back room.

Albana.

King Kobra, who was determined to attack Crocodile at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, did not rest. He stood in front of the window, looking at the capital city that had fallen into the night, showing a worried expression and a little tiredness.

Yes, tired

The king seems to be superior. If he is a tyrant, an incompetent king, like King Valpo of Drum Island, he only needs to consider how to eat, drink and have fun. As for the life and death of the people, it has nothing to do with him. .

However, Kobra was a "benevolent king". Under his benevolent governance, all walks of life in Alabasta prospered, the country became strong, and became world-famous.

Unfortunately, he was targeted by Lao Sha, and things went from bad to worse after that. In the past few years, Kobra had too many things to consider, and he was trapped in a cage. Such a predicament had left him mentally and physically exhausted.

However, in front of his subordinates and the people, Cobra still wanted to maintain his image and set an example for everyone. In this regard, he did a good job.

Kobra would only look tired when he was alone.

Although Kobra was confident and determined when he was going to conquer Crocodile during the day, now he was also worried and hesitant.

Click

At this time, the door was pushed open.

Cobra turned around, with no tired look on his face. When he saw it was Tila Gotan, the foreman of the palace's logistics department, he lowered his guard.

"Is it about Ikarem?" Kobra said.

Ikarem was the captain of the Kingdom Guard and the husband of Tiara Gotan. He was also the partner who sneaked into the Baroque Studio with Princess Vivi. Unfortunately, he was killed while protecting Princess Vivi and the others at Whiskey Peak. Of course, these are all Cobra learned about it from Princess Weiwei's letter. He didn't hide it and told Tila Gotan.

So, now that he sees Tiragotan, Cobra feels guilty in his heart. Ikarem died for his country.

Tila Gotan didn't say anything and approached Cobra. When the two were not far away, Cobra suddenly noticed that this Tila Gotan was actually wearing a pair of ballet shoes.

This is not Tira Gotham

R2, disguised as Tiragotan, successfully kidnapped King Kobra and handed him over to R4 and Merry Christmas.

After memorizing King Kobra's face, r2 will rush to Cattleya to use his ability to imitate the fruit to create chaos.

Everything is going according to Crocodile's plan.
