Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Crocodile is a very smart guy. He has already stepped out of the shadows, so he naturally would not be ashamed or angry because of Bai Ye's words.

"You already knew the truth. Coming here was your own choice. How can you talk about planning?"

This is indeed the case. Crocodile had no intention of plotting against the Straw Hat Pirates.

Even all the seeded players who came here were hinted at the hidden truth of this celebration.

This is also the biggest change between Crocodile and before. He will still plan some things, but he will not use conspiracy or tricks. Instead, he will use grand methods and plan for the overall situation.

This is why it is said that he never loses money.

"Oh, so I should thank you?"

Bai Ye chuckled.

"No need." Crocodile shook his head.

Just as the two were about to continue talking, the big shots on the screen could no longer sit still.

"We didn't take the time out to see you entertain guests here."

Some people began to get impatient with Crocodile.

"Chess pieces are just chess pieces. Just because you have some skills, you want to become a chess player? That's ridiculous."

Some people were very dissatisfied with Bai Ye's nonsense.

This world is not ruled by pirates alone.

These bigwigs have spoken out one after another, wanting to keep the show going.

But neither Bai Ye nor Crocodile were moved.

Bai Ye waved his hand gently and placed a luxurious table between the two of them, on which was the tea that Hei Ye had just brewed.

He poured himself a glass, motioned to Crocodile to be polite, and then said:

"These are your guests?"

Although Crocodile was a little puzzled by Bai Ye's sudden invitation to tea, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.

Moreover, his mentality has changed now. Even though Bai Ye had mocked him before, he poured himself a glass quite naturally and said:

"It's just a fun way to pass the time."

From beginning to end, the two of them didn't even look at the big shot on the screen, they just kept drinking.

Crocodile even praised Bai Ye's tea-making skills.

The latter smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

But such an action made the big shot furious.

"Crocodile, do you know what you are talking about?!"

King Hake slapped the table in front of him and said, "You think we are a joke? You don't deserve it!"

"Hahahaha, still as arrogant as ever, Sand Crocodile."

The big man of the underground world said: "Do you still think that this is the time when you just debuted? You have already failed. If it weren't for us, do you really think that the Cross Union can gain a foothold in the new world so quickly?"

This is not bluffing. The entire ocean seems to be in chaos, but in fact there are various kinds of order.

The establishment of any power requires building good relationships with relevant people in the field.

This is true even for those people in the underground world who are not willing to see the light of day.

Otherwise, the cake is so big, how could anyone come in and share the cake?

To a certain extent, the fact that the Cross Union was able to put together such a large organization relied on the power of the underground world and the secret promotion of some member states of the World Government.

So to these people, Crocodile's previous words were simply ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Simply put, Crocodile only came up with a good idea, but it was these great men who really pushed the idea into practice.

You were so respectful when soliciting investment before, but now you put your bowl down and curse?

It's the other way around!

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with cursing.

What’s interesting is that the emperors of the underground world never spoke out.

Morgans even laughed secretly in his heart.

Do these people really think the Crusaders are the same guys as before?

The emperors had a very close cooperative relationship with the Crusaders Guild, so they naturally knew that it was not that the Crusaders Guild was unable to pull off this plan, but that it had never intended to do it itself.

This was just Crocodile doing it for Barrett's willfulness.

Poor these big shots, they really thought Crocodile needed something from them.

I was just a tool.

But he had no idea or plan to tell these poor guys. On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to the drama that was to follow.

After all, Bai Ye is quite good at fooling people.

At this moment, he was looking at the tea in front of Bai Ye with interest, wondering if he could get some to try later.

The cursing became louder and more mixed, but it suddenly stopped in an instant.

It was as if countless quacking wild ducks were suddenly strangled by the throat.

There is only one reason, Bai Ye turned his head away.

His originally kind eyes suddenly became sharp, as if a sharp sword pierced through space and into the depths of everyone's soul.

Make them tremble.

What an offense this is.

But no one dared to speak again. Even though they knew they were not in the same place, they had a feeling.

This white-haired man can really kill himself.

"Noisy."

Bai Ye spoke softly.

Bang bang bang!

Countless screens were extinguished in the instant of the impact of the invisible will, leaving only a few, which were the emperors of the underground world who had not spoken before.

He had no interest in explaining anything to these idiots, not even the idea of ​​being sarcastic.

It’s nothing, it’s just a drop in price.

Bai Ye glanced at the remaining people. Although they had all been on Cake Island before, this was actually the first time they met and talked.

“Although there were some mistakes along the way, the results were the same.”

Bai Ye looked at Morgans and said, "I hope you don't forget our agreement, Morgans."

"After all, we are close friends, so I will accept the 70% reward."

For a moment, Morgans felt as if a thorn in his side.

Although Bai Ye did not explain in detail, the others were not stupid and they only needed to think about it a little to know what was going on.

Morgans could already imagine how others would ask him for an explanation later.

This time it is not a question of whether to make money or not, but it is absolutely necessary to bleed heavily.

The key is that he can't do anything to Bai Ye.

He swallowed and was about to speak when he found that the screen in front of him went out. It was obviously Bai Ye's work.

This is indeed the case. Regardless of whether Morgans truly believes that the Straw Hat Pirates will achieve ultimate victory, he has indeed taken advantage of Byakuya and the others.

What he said just now was just a small punishment from Bai Ye.

Thinking about it carefully, Bai Ye still felt that he was too soft-hearted.

I am indeed a good person.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye looked at Crocodile again.

"Now that the idiot is gone, let's stop hiding it."

In Crocodile's eyes, the white night in front of him suddenly seemed to have changed.

He is no longer the hermit he used to be, but has become like a shrewd and calculating businessman.

If there were members of the Straw Hat Pirates here and saw Byakuya's look, they would definitely know what it meant.

This guy is about to start [trading] again.

As expected, Bai Ye put down the teacup in his hand and muttered to himself:

"What should be the appropriate amount of money for the life of the founder of the Cross Guild?"

Crocodile's face turned serious when he heard these words.
