People are pirates, behind the scenes

late at night.

Alabasta rain.

The dark, gloomy castle is dimly lit, and the colorful glass windows reflect the cold light.

Crocodile stood in the secret room of the castle, staring directly at the sand table, wondering what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the voice of the private caller gradually brought his thoughts back. Kroc frowned, but when he saw the caller's number, his stern expression suddenly cleared away.

"Hey, Beelzebub, how rare it is that you haven't contacted me using a phone bug in how many years?" Crocodile complained.

Beelzebub smiled and said, "I feel relieved to hear you are so happy."

Crocodile held up his forehead: "How do you see that I am happy? Speaking of which, you took the initiative to contact me. Are you ready to come back?"

"That's what I mean, but I have a little favor and need you." Beelzebub suddenly said.

Crocodile's expression calmed down: "Is it important?"

Beelzebub nodded: "It's very important. This scene can't go on without you."

Crocodile said: "Tell me, how do you want me to act?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will trick you?"

Beelzebub said half-jokingly: "This scene is very dangerous, but if it is completed, our Baroque Society will grow again, and you will even have the opportunity to face a white beard."

Crocodile's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"

At this moment, his breathing became rapid, and the wind and sand surged around him.

"Ah, but I said, it's very dangerous. Let me tell you the plan first." Beelzebub said.

"You should know about the recent newcomer Monkey in the East China Sea? 6?1D?6?1 Luffy, right?"

"First of all, I need you to send someone to hunt him. After all, as the Shichibukai, hunting down pirates is justifiable, and it will expose part of the darkness surrounding the Baroque Co., Ltd. What I want is to make him hostile to you."

Hearing this, Crocodile became confused: "I'm just a newcomer. Is it really necessary to gamble with the future of Baroque Works?"

With Crocodile's current vision, except for the world-famous pirates and admirals, he doesn't take anyone else seriously.

"So I need you to play this show well, and most importantly, you must lose in this 'war'."

"What?! Let me lose at the hands of a newcomer?! Beelzebub, what kind of bullshit plan is this!?"

Veins popped out on Crocodile's face and he cursed.

He has been running the Grand Line for nearly 20 years and has a great reputation. It is simply a shame and a great humiliation to let a newcomer ride on his head.

Beelzebub also expressed helplessness, but after all, Luffy has more than 30 world missions, including the Alabasta chapter.

Although Crocodile did not implement a plan to steal the country, it was not complicated to create new conflicts.

"Calm down, Kroc. The position of Shichibukai is just a false title for you. If you are unwilling to give up this title, how can you challenge Whitebeard?"

What's more, my world mission is also very important... Beelzebub thought to himself.

Crocodile's expression was uncertain, and the phone bug vividly reflected his expression.

"I told you, if you don't want to see the future, I won't force you. After all, everyone has the right to choose."

Crocodile is ruthless in his actions and decisive in his methods, and he can naturally distinguish between choices... But if he is defeated by a newcomer, where will he put his old face?

"Is there really a chance to face Whitebeard?" After a long silence, Crocodile finally spoke.

"Of course." Beelzebub smiled.

From the moment Ace captured Blackbeard, the decisive battle between Whitebeard and the Navy was already a certainty.

Crocodile said with a dry throat: "Beelzebub, you know, I have always trusted you, so I will not hesitate to give up the Shichibukai position... You will let me face Whitebeard, right?"

"This is an agreement between us, Kroc. It is inevitable that you will suffer physical pain in this scene. You must be mentally prepared."

"I see."

Crocodile nodded. The Qibukai was defeated and the business that had always been in the dark was exposed to the world. The World Government would never let him go easily.

When the time comes, he will know what is waiting for him without even thinking.

But Crocodile believed in Beelzebub, and Whitebeard was also his obsession.

"Tell me the detailed plan."

Kroc knew that what Beelzebub just said was just superficial, at least he did not tell in detail how to implement the plan after the defeat.

********

The Straw Hat Pirates, who had just left Drum Island and smashed Valpo's conspiracy, landed in the small garden.

As soon as they landed on the island, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered dinosaurs and other ancient creatures.

Looking at the mountain-like creatures, Chopper and Usopp were so frightened that their faces turned green, while the calm Sanji and Zoro started a hunting competition after being shocked.

"Mr.3, is that the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Not far away on the sea, Marianu, a girl carrying a shoulder bag, sat on the side of the boat, dangling her feet and looking through a telescope.

Marianu, with a bounty of 2900 million beli.

Those without abilities can use the paint on the color palette to match colors to hint at others and then control their emotions.

"Really? I really don't understand the president's order. Wouldn't it be more profitable to capture the Giant Pirates? Why focus on such a third-rate pirate group?"

Gal?6?1 Dino curled his lips and continued to outline the wax sculpture in front of him.

Gal?6?1 Dino, with a bounty of 1000 million Baileys.

Those with the ability to melt fruits can create raw wax.

"Although they are a shabby pirate group, you will suffer a loss if you look down on those guys."

Mr. 5, who was dressed as a rock singer, had his hands in his pockets, and his sunglasses reflected a layer of cold light. His partner Miss. held a parasol on Valentine's Day, floating strangely in the air.

Mr.5, formerly known as Jem, has a bounty of 1000 million Baileys.

Those with explosive fruit abilities can explode any part of their body.

Mr. Valentine, formerly known as Michita, has a bounty of 750 million Baileys.

Those with the light and fluttering fruit ability can freely control their weight.

"I'll make an exception this time and let you get on the ship. I'll leave it to you to take the lead, okay?"

Gar? 6? 1 Dino turned to look at the two people in the corner of the deck, and a sarcastic sneer could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

Weiwei looked unconcerned: "Since you are a pirate, just leave it to us. Are you right, Karu?"

Karu chirped and flapped her wings happily.

Beelzebub smiled and said nothing.

The pirate ship gradually docked at the shore. Gal?6?1 Dino was confident and did not let anyone attack the Mellie. In his opinion, no one could escape from his wax figure.

"Valentine's Day, could you please take a look at where those guys are now?" Gal?6?1 Dino said.

Michita slowly floated up and reached the heights of the forest, where she had an unobstructed view of the lush sea of ​​trees and mountains.

"It is indeed a small garden, with so many wild beasts!" Michita exclaimed, and then looked around.

It's a pity that the sea of ​​trees is dense and lush, covering the earth and making it difficult to find the target. But at this moment, under the mountains in the distance, a giant is walking vigorously on the earth, frightening the birds in the bushes along the way.

"Go this way, there is movement over there." Michita said, pointing in the direction of the giant.
