I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Kos realized that he had been fooled when he saw Crocodile appearing in front of him unabashedly.

Because according to the rules of the world, you can't live after seeing your face...that's weird.

Cos has long known that the boss behind Baroque Studio is Crocodile, but strictly speaking, this matter is still a secret at this time, a secret that cannot be revealed for the time being in order for Crocodile's plan to be implemented smoothly. .

But at this time, Crocodile appeared in the stronghold of Baroque Studio carelessly. He almost said, "I won't act anymore, it's a showdown, I am the boss of Baroque Studio", and he was forced to "learn" this Naturally, Kos, who had intelligence, couldn't just leave like this, otherwise what was waiting for him would be murder and silence.

And seeing that Crocodile didn't show any surprise, he seemed to have expected that Kos would come alone.

In other words, Kos was smart but was mistaken. He thought he was on the second floor, but Crocodile was waiting for him on the third floor.

So what can Cos do? He could only choose to go in and have a cup of coffee.

"Can I add more sugar and milk? I'm not used to drinking black coffee."

Kos walked into the room leisurely, placed the invitation on the coffee table and casually sat down next to Crocodile.

When Kos sat down, Crocodile also put the coffee cup on the coffee table, then took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it.

"You are indeed a smart man."

Although Crocodile never looked at Kos from beginning to end, these words were obviously addressed to Kos.

"From what Mr. Shichibukai said, it seems that you have been targeting me for a long time."

Kos didn't intend to pretend to be confused, and directly pointed out Crocodile's identity.

"I don't remember doing anything that would attract the attention of someone as important as you."

"Isn't it enough to escape from the naval hero Garp?"

Crocodile blew out a puff of smoke and looked at Kos.

"Although that old sea soldier is old, I don't dare to provoke him, and there are only a handful of pirates who can escape from him."

Kos just shrugged and took the coffee from Robin.

"Thank you."

After blowing off the foam on the coffee and taking a sip, Kos spoke again,

"That's all thanks to my captain. Otherwise, I would have been punched into two pieces by that old man just by relying on me."

This is not a lie. If it were not for Ace's sake, no matter how eloquent Kos was, he would not be able to escape from Garp as a pirate.

"But the information I received here is that he let you go after you communicated with Garp. I am very curious about what secret could make a veteran who has been a navy all his life abandon his principles and let a group of pirates leave."

Crocodile stared at Kos with evil intentions, as if he wanted to dig out the secret from Kos with his eyes.

"that!"

Kos smiled and said,

"At that time, I threatened Garp that if he didn't let us leave, I would reveal that he had given paper wrapped in boogers to the goats of the Warring States Period."

"It seems like you don't want to talk anymore."

Crocodile smiled and shook his head, then shrugged slightly, and then stared at Kos with more aggressive eyes.

"But my target is not that, but you. In my opinion, you are much more important than a secret or two."

Robin held a coffee cup in one hand and a gray phone bug in one hand and walked to sit on the sofa opposite Kos. She put the phone bug on the coffee table and pressed it.

A vicissitudes of life but a voice with tenacity came from the mouth of the phone bug:

"Sengoku, have any of those idiots on Mariejoia gone missing recently?"

Then another old and powerful voice answered on the phone:

"Why do you ask? Don't you hate coming into contact with them? Garp."

The voice on the phone bug turned out to be the conversation between Garp and Sengoku.

"Just tell me if you have it!" (Karp)

"No, they are so closely guarded, how could anything happen?" (Warring States Period)

"I'm not asking those pig-like guys, I'm asking the 'heirs', have any of them run away from home?" (Karp)

"That's not something I have access to. Why do you ask?" (Warring States)

"Oh, it's okay then." (Karp)

"What happened to you? Kapu, ka..." (Warring States)

After a busy tone on the phone, Phonebug stopped playing.

"This is a conversation intercepted by my Donghai spy through a phone bug. Do you have anything to say about it?"

Crocodile looked at Kos with interest and smiled maliciously.

After listening to the conversation between Garp and Sengoku, Kos also began to fall into deep thought. He was thinking about how careless the old man Garp was to be easily eavesdropped on his conversation with the navy marshal? And how exactly do I look like the stupid son of the Tianlong family?

Then after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was no wonder that Garp thought this way. Regardless of the information about Roger's crew, Im's existence was not something that any intelligence organization could find out, even among the Celestial Dragons. Only Wulaoxing and a few people know it.

"So you also suspect that I am a Celestial Dragon?"

Kos frowned and looked at Crocodile, and became furious after receiving a positive nod from the other party.

"You are a Celestial Dragon, and your whole family is a Celestial Dragon!"

But Crocodile smiled and said nothing, because in his opinion, Kos's emotional reaction confirmed his suspicion.

After Kos calmed down, he picked up the coffee and continued to drink it silently before Crocodile spoke leisurely,

"I've had someone investigate. Your origins are unknown. You have no past. It's as if you never existed in this world before."

Kos immediately clapped his hands and pointed at Crocodile with a "You guessed it" expression on his face.

"That really makes you right. I am not from this world. In my original world, your world is just an existence in comics. This world has almost no secrets for me, so I Only then will we know the secret that made Garpdu have to let us go."

But Crocodile just rolled his eyes and didn't believe his statement at all.

"Oh, why is this world like this?"

Kos sighed and shook his head.

"No one believes the truth."

"Oh, in that case, can you tell me the secret of that blank hundred years?"

Robin suddenly asked jokingly.

"I don't know because the author hasn't drawn it yet."

Kos answered decisively and quickly.

Robin's face first showed a trace of disappointment, and soon a trace of happiness appeared on his face, and finally he showed a self-deprecating wry smile.
