Pirate Genius

Mio probably had no idea that Cobra had become panicked because of his arrival, and the reason for the panic was still so... strange.

The capital of the kingdom of Alabasta.

albana.

The last time Mio and others visited this city, the bustling and bustling place made Alabasta worthy of being a big country.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going.

When they came to this city, Mio and others basically wore cloaks, naturally to avoid causing trouble. They were not afraid of trouble, but they also hated trouble.

Crocodile's location is in a tavern in the capital of Alabasta.

This tavern seems to be in the hands of Crocodile now, or it is owned by Crocodile.

At this time, Mio and others walked directly towards the tavern.

This tavern is located in an alley in Albana, but even so, the tavern is still very lively. Most of the guests are almost pirates, and there are also pirate hunters hiding here as pirates. Looking for a suitable target to attack later.

There was a 'crunch' sound.

The wooden door of the tavern was pushed open.

The hot breath came to my face.

Many people in the tavern looked at the door. They were startled when they saw a group of people in cloaks, but then they didn't pay attention and continued to drink their wine.

Mio looked around and came directly to the bar.

Mio raised her hand and knocked on the wooden tabletop of the bar counter, and said. "Find someone."

"Who?" Behind the bar was a young man with a normal aura and some strength but not much strength. He was wiping his wine glass and raised his head after hearing Mio's words.

"Your boss." Mio said calmly.

"my boss?"

Hearing this, a look of vigilance flashed in the man's eyes. Just as he was hesitating, another group of pirates walked into the tavern.

"Damn it, this country is too hot. Hurry up and bring me some drinks." A strong man in the lead walked straight to the bar. Looking at Mio and the others in front of him, he couldn't help but grinned and cursed. "Get out of my way, you're blocking my way."

"It's a bit noisy." Mio frowned slightly.

The voice just fell.

puff.

A sharp scarlet tentacle pierced the man's heart directly, and then it was pulled out, and blood immediately splattered.

The entire tavern suddenly became extremely silent.

Mio still looked at the man in front of her and said calmly. "Go and tell me, I think your boss will be willing to see me."

"Excuse me, are you..." The man swallowed.

"Black Crow."

"Black... Crow?"

Hearing this, the man seemed to be thinking, wondering if this was the name of a strong man on the sea. But the next moment, the man's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he remembered something, and his attitude became respectful.

"Lord Black Crow, please wait a moment, I need to make inquiries."

"Go." Mio just gave up.

"Yes." The man nodded, first brought a bottle of whiskey to Mio and others, and then left.

Inside the pub.

Still extremely quiet.

Mio held her chin with one hand and said calmly. "Keep drinking, don't worry about us."

"Gollum..."

The voice fell, but there were still no pirates who dared to speak out without permission. After all, although they were not strong men, they still had good eyesight, and now they could see how extraordinary Mio and others were.

Otherwise, the man's expression wouldn't have changed so quickly.

A pirate was thinking about Mio's words about black crow just now, his eyes were looking at Mio and others, and he was also thinking about who Mio and others were.

Mahi was a little irritated by this look, and immediately glared and said fiercely. "What are you looking at? Do you want to fight?"

It was a slightly childish voice, but it was accompanied by an inexplicable aura.

Surrounded by this aura, the pirate immediately swallowed his saliva and shook his head hastily. "No, I don't dare."

"Hmph." Hearing this, Mahi snorted coldly, turned around and continued to drink her...milk.

After rubbing Mahi's head, Mio waited quietly, not in a hurry.

Mio had the same thoughts about Crocodile as she did about Doflamingo.

Mainly make friends.

After all, this guy is one of the Shichibukai, so he can still make some plans.

Moreover, the other party also has his own ambitions. Mio still likes ambitious people. If you are ambitious, you can use the other party's ambition to help you. Although you need to pay a little, the rewards will be more generous.

After a while.

The man returned and said respectfully. "Lord Black Crow, please follow me."

After saying that, he immediately led the way.

Although this is a tavern, it still has a second floor.

The group of people passed through the door behind the bar, stepped onto the second floor, and soon arrived outside a room.

"Please." The man made a 'please' gesture.

Mio pushed the door open directly and entered.

The light in the room was a little dim, and I didn't know if all these people liked this tone, and the same was true for Doflamingo.

At this time in the room, Crocodile was sitting behind a desk with his legs crossed, a cigar in his mouth. After Mio and others came in, his eyes were always on Mio, the leader.

"Although the main culprit who escaped from Impel Down City is a new generation, his reputation is enough to compare with the big pirates in the New World. Judging from the reward, his strength is not bad. Then there is a reason for someone like you to come to me. What's the purpose?" Crocodile said calmly.

Mio lifted up his cloak, sat on the sofa unceremoniously, and looked at Crocodile calmly. "Coming to do you a favor."

Crocodile threw aside a document in his hand and said calmly. "Why should I help you?"

"Because you can't refuse."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Crocodile raised his eyes slightly. "Then I'm curious about what kind of help you want me to do for you."

"Pluto."

"Pluto?" Crocodile frowned slightly, a strange light flashed in his eyes. "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Haha." Mio sneered, leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and smiled lightly. "Sand Crocodile, I might as well tell you that I know the location of a Pluto. I asked you for help because of Pluto's affairs."

"I know you may already know the news about Pluto in Alabasta. Whether you know it or not, I can only remind you that Pluto is not something you can just have."

"Are you warning me?" Crocodile's eyes turned slightly cold.

"No, I'm just stating a fact to you." Mio sat up straight, supported her chin with both hands, and pressed her body forward slightly, showing strong momentum. "The World Government will not allow a pirate to possess Hades. If you have Whitebeard's level of strength, you might consider it, but it's a pity that you don't."

"What about you?" Crocodile didn't care at all about Mio's momentum and sneered. "Can you defeat Whitebeard?"

"I can not."

Mio grinned, but her tone became arrogant. "But I have enough time to develop, I have enough ambition, and I have enough potential."

The sound fell.

Mio simply raised a finger. "A deal, help me get Hades."

"The deal...what can I get?" Crocodile puffed out a smoke ring from his mouth, his eyes twinkling.

Mio leaned back slightly, holding the handle of the Raikiri knife in his right hand, and pulled it out halfway. After a cold light flashed, Mio said calmly. "Your life!"
