Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Although he had anticipated how things would turn out, Crocodile still hadn't calculated Daylight Night.

During the Alabasta incident, he had no interaction with Byakuya, and afterwards he only had a brief glance at her in Marinford.

But afterwards, Crocodile still carefully collected information about the Straw Hat Pirates.

In his opinion, Bai Ye was a very bold person, but he was also very careful about every detail and could even be said to be extremely cautious.

Before doing anything, various preparations and plans are made.

We will never suddenly fall out with the enemy before things become clear.

Especially the live broadcast incident of the Sabaody Archipelago can be regarded as Bai Ye’s masterpiece.

Not only did he stir up the ocean, but he even manipulated the rulers of the world into his hands.

It can be said that as long as there is one mistake, the entire Straw Hat Pirates may be buried in the sea.

Each step is linked to the next, which makes even the conspirator Crocodile quite impressed.

In fact, if Bai Ye knew what Crocodile was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Crocodile is a devilish conspirator. If it were in the chaotic era of Bai Ye's previous life, someone like Crocodile would not be worth mentioning at all.

It is only in this world where most people are either reckless or stupid that Crocodile can accomplish great things.

"Why, you seem surprised."

Bai Ye was still drinking tea leisurely, not looking anxious at all.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Although the situation outside seems very intense, there is no pressure at all for the Straw Hat Pirates.

This time they came to fry the fish pond!

Although Luffy's transformation exceeded Bai Ye's expectations, it was not a big deal.

He came here for another purpose.

"It's really unexpected. You look like you have us in your grasp."

Crocodile said: "Aren't you afraid that the Crusaders will have other means?"

He was truly confused and was asking sincerely at this moment.

"Honestly, even if you have other means, I can probably guess it."

Bai Ye shrugged: "There are only so many forces in this ocean. The only ones who can help you turn the situation around are the World Government, the Navy, or the Blackbeard Pirates."

"If it was before, I might have considered your confidence more carefully."

"But now, there's no need."

"Oh?" Crocodile looked at Bai Ye.

"because..."

Bai Ye grinned at him:

"It doesn't matter who comes. We are invincible here."

There was no hot-blooded, immature roar, only the most ordinary words.

This is not a dream or a goal, but a fact before us.

The Straw Hat Pirates are invincible!

Crocodile understood, and even wanted to laugh at himself for understanding it too late.

Yes, he finally realized what was the difference between himself and a hero like Golden Lion.

An invincible heart!

Not all the strong people in this world are reckless.

But to them, I am invincible.

Let people make all kinds of calculations and plans.

When I am here, I will be invincible!

At this moment, Crocodile's mood changed again.

Although his strength did not improve, he obviously understood the way forward.

"It seems that you seem to have some understanding?"

Bai Ye sensed the increasingly profound aura coming from Crocodile and looked interested.

Master, I am so awesome?

Can one sentence elevate a person?

It turns out that Rayleigh is not good enough.

It’s worthy of me, Teacher Bai!

If it wasn't for the need to maintain his status, Bai Ye would have wanted to pat himself on the shoulder and praise himself.

Bai Ye doesn't care at all about Crocodile's sublimation.

Anyway, they are all stinky little brothers who can be suppressed by one hand.

But this will also be beneficial to his future plans.

"Tell me your conditions, Bai Ye."

Crocodile restrained his aura and said to Bai Ye calmly:

"We've already lost this time."

Although the Crusaders did have a backup plan, it didn't matter at this point.

Ah.

Bai Ye raised the corner of his mouth. Talking to smart people is effective.

Crocodile already understood the purpose of his previous mention of the money for buying his life.

"Nothing, I just thought the Cross would be pretty good, so I decided to take it."

Bai Ye said: "Maybe it will be useful later."

"This is not a smooth thing. You seem to have said something extraordinary."

There was a lot of surprise in his words, but Crocodile's expression remained calm.

It seemed to have been expected.

In his opinion, the Straw Hat Boy might just simply want to participate in the celebration.

But the [Heavenly Master] Bai Ye in front of him would definitely not be so boring.

Or is it that his real purpose is to conquer the Cross Guild?

"You want us to drink our brother wine and become vassals of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Crocodile asked, this was also his guess.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye showed a disgusted expression: "I told you not to push your luck. You're dreaming of drinking my wine."

Crocodile: ???

Who is the one who keeps pushing the envelope?

Didn't you say you wanted to conquer the Cross Guild?

Fortunately, Crocodile was already somewhat accustomed to Bai Ye's personality, so he did not have an attack, but only spilled some tea in the cup in his hand.

Unexpectedly, this would cause Bai Ye's dislike again.

"My captain's personality is such that he won't accept any younger brothers, even though your strength is barely enough."

Bai Ye waved his hand and explained: "Even if there are, they will only be regarded as allies."

Barely enough...

If we only look at the top powerhouses, the Crusaders' configuration is close to that of the Emperor.

In Bai Ye's mouth, it was just barely good enough...

But after thinking carefully about the horror of the Straw Hat Pirates, Crocodile actually felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Crocodile tried to control his expression and listened to Bai Ye continue:

"Because of my captain's personality, many things are a bit restrictive."

"Although the Spark and the Prairie Army are good allies, the World Government has been very active recently and they are a bit overwhelmed."

"So I need the Cross to help solve some hidden dangers."

Bai Ye looked at Crocodile:

"You...will serve as the shadows of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Become the king of the dark world."

What a loud tone.

This was Crocodile's first reaction.

The power established by the three top powerful men in the sea was actually treated as a black glove.

Looking across the entire ocean, only the world government would dare to do something like this.

But it must be said that Crocodile also understood Bai Ye's thoughts to some extent.

If the Straw Hat Pirates are the light that guides the people of this ocean, then the Cross Guild will be a sharp blade hidden in the darkness under this light.

Even in peacetime, there is darkness in the world.

What Bai Ye wants them to do is to unify the dark world!

Create their own rules!
