A sledgehammer breaks into pirates

In the underground office of Yuyan Casino.

At this time, Crocodile was sitting in his boss's chair, biting a cigar and looking at the transparent glass not far away.

It's said to be glass, but it's actually a large fish tank.

It's just that while others raised goldfish, Crocodile raised crocodiles.

Banana crocodiles are special creatures found near the waters of Alabasta. They live in groups and are very ferocious. They can even hunt sea kings in groups for food.

He is the top overlord of this sea area.

After Crocodile discovered these ferocious crocodiles, he became very interested in them. He spent a lot of money to catch several and kept them in his office.

On weekdays, he fights pirates and most of the villains he captures are used for food.

Not far from Crocodile's desk, another desk was added.

Sitting in front of the table is Nicole Olbia

"Is Baroque Works yours?"Olbia asked with some surprise after reading the information in his hand.

Baroque Cooperative, a famous criminal group in the first half of the Grand Line.

They are mainly bounty hunters, mixed with a large number of evil parties, and even There are also pirates who are entrenched near the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line, specializing in looting merchant ships and cruise ships from all over the world, or bullying new pirates.

Although the top power is rubbish, it can even be said that there are almost no masters who can pass it..

But they have strength in numbers.

And most of the bounty hunter group is also hanging around here.

It’s not that there are no bounty hunters in other sea areas, but there are very few in other sea areas.

The four seas are okay, but the business is not Anyway, there are not many pirates in number, and the entrance sea area of ​​the first half of the Grand Line is the place where all pirates must pass to enter the Grand Line. Instead of going to other sea areas to catch pirates, it is better to wait for them here!

As for the New World, it is the world of pirates, and bounty hunters can hardly make a living in it.

Where they are, they are not 'hunters', they are simply prey.

They can play in places that even the navy cannot. Must transfer?

Although to the general class, Baroque Works is very mysterious.

No one knows who their boss behind the scenes is.

But for those real bosses who control the world situation, Crocodile’s The identity is not a particularly secretive piece of information.

At least Orgrim knew it, and it was not based on foresight, but was obtained through serious intelligence.

Presumably the World Government, the Navy Headquarters, the rest of the Yonko Pirates, etc..

He probably knows it in his heart.

But it’s pointless for Crocodile to engage in these unattractive things. In addition, his status as the king of the Shichibukai does have some effect.

This person is relatively quiet, doesn’t do much trouble, and makes some black money. Just make some black money, and no one will care about him.

But for"low-class people" like Olbia, Baroque Works is already very powerful and mysterious.

Crocodile revealed himself at this time His identity is still very impactful to Olbia.

"That's right, so if you join me, I can provide you with safe shelter. After all, I am the King of the Shichibukai, and no one from the World Government, the Navy, or the power of Alabasta will come to check me casually. Yes, if you can do things with peace of mind here, I can guarantee your safety. Crocodile said very calmly.

Olbia nodded, actually agreeing with Crocodile's words.

Indeed, with Crocodile's power, if nothing else can be done, there should be no problem in protecting her.

"Do many people know your identity? What exactly do you want to do?"Olbia asked.

Crocodile smiled. Do many people know my identity?

Then it's all over the sea. Crocodile is not really a fool. After all, he can be regarded as the same as Ogre. People of the same period as Mu, when Orgrim did not join Shiji's banner, Crocodile also went to sea.

Before losing to Whitebeard, he was one step away from standing on the top of the pirates. Man.

Do you really think that his name of 'crocodile 50-50' is for nothing?

Douglas Barrett, the leader of the Warhammer Pirates, is strong enough, right?

I had 50-50 fights with him many times back then!

Therefore, Crocodile still has some vision. Of course, he is very clear that his so-called secret identity is no more than enough to fool little people like Olbia. It is far from fooling the real big guys.

But these words, There is no need to explain it clearly to Olbia.

Keeping yourself mysterious and powerful is also a good way to control Olbia.

"There is only one person besides you, and his name is Daz Bones. Crocodile said softly.

Indeed, he has actually met many of his subordinates, and those subordinates only came to see him after they made big mistakes.

And the reason why Crocodile met them , there is only one thing, and that is to feed and see if your big babies eat well.

Baroque Works does not allow any major mistakes.

If anyone makes a big mistake, just wait for it to disappear inexplicably!

"As for what I want to do..."When Crocodile said this, he laughed and said:"I want to defeat Whitebeard, defeat Orgrim, and return to the new world...."

"you..."Olbia looked at Crocodile strangely.

Although you Crocodile are very powerful, I am very willing to admit it. but you...It's nothing more than an under-the-royal Shichibukai, and one of the two most notorious among the two under-the-uncle Shichibukai.

Compared with Whitebeard and Orgrim, the gap between you is too big, right?

Do you really think you can be better than them with this Baroque Works Company?

Those people are people who can't even be dealt with by the World Government, but the World Government can easily deal with you!

Crocodile seemed to see the distrust in Olbia's eyes, but he wasn't angry at all.

He smiled and said,"Doubt my strength?"

Before Olbia could speak, Crocodile waved his hand and said,"There is no need to explain anything, and there is no need to explain, because this is the fact. In terms of personal strength, , I am indeed no match for Orgrim and Whitebeard."

Olbia breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Apart from anything else, Crocodile is somewhat self-aware.

Just be a blind and arrogant person, otherwise the closer you are to him, the faster you will die.

"However, victory is not only about personal strength. I have to admire Orgrim’s extraordinary brains and strength. Back then, we went to sea at the same time, and as soon as I went to sea, I made a name for myself in the new world. time, even earlier than him, but in the end, I failed, but he became one of the pirate emperors of the new world, and sat on Avalon, sweeping across the dark world, and the gathered power made the world The government had no choice but to compromise with him. In less than twenty years, he went from being a worthless little guy to a top boss in today's world who can make the sea tremble when he stomps his feet....I don't have such a clear understanding as him. His plan has been very rigorous from the beginning, and his strength and power have grown together. But before I lost to Whitebeard, I didn't even understand these reasons. Just relying on personal bravery is not enough. Ways to Become a Real Gold Medalist..."Crocodile said softly.

After a short pause, he picked up the coffee in front of him, took another sip, moistened his throat, and then continued:"Over the years, I have been studying Orgrim repeatedly. The more I study, the more I admire him. His ability, his most powerful thing, is not his personal strength that is unparalleled in the world, but that in less than ten years, he has pulled up a powerful force from Avalon to serve as his base and support. Use his power! I can't do this, and I don't have time to do it!"

At this point, he looked at Olbia and said solemnly:"So, I believe that Whitebeard is no longer a It's the future, and he, Orgrim, is the real future. If you want to seize the future, you must have more power than Orgrim. Avalon has become a trend, and the world government is taking advantage of them. I have no choice but to do the same for me, so if I want to advance bravely, I must not follow the rules, you know...How many troops does Alabasta have?"

"many...How many?"Olbia asked uncertainly.

"Two million! Crocodile said solemnly

"A total of two million elite permanent troops are stationed in the country, and the entire country has a population of more than 27 million. It also sits at the entrance to the first half of the Grand Route, the largest island, the super large island Shengting Island. Perhaps the only regret is that , most of the islands are deserts, but this, to me, is like a gift from heaven, just like in Orgrim and the night, in the Sea of ​​Eternal Night, no one can defeat the King of the Night, and in this vast desert , and no one can defeat me, the king of the desert. Do you understand what this means? Crocodile's eyes flashed and he asked ambitiously.

"What's the meaning..."Olbia seemed to have thought of something, but asked uncertainly.

"Hahahahaha, it means that as long as I take Alabasta, find the legendary ancient weapon Pluto that can destroy the world, and make up for the gap between me and Orgrim in personal strength, then I, the Sand Crocodile, will Lockdale, in every respect, is inferior to Orgrim. By then, as long as I control the island with yellow sand and erode the island's ridge, Shengting Island will become my mobile kingdom. When Shengding Island enters a new era, World, I am the king of the new world! Crocodile said ambitiously.

Olbia was stunned.

Are you Crocodile so coquettish?

To be honest, if it were another island, Crocodile, no matter how awesome he is, would not be able to move like this. A huge island.

However, this is a desert country, and Crocodile's ability will increase hundreds or thousands of times here!

If he really has any powerful means, he might be able to move Shengting Island to a new place. The world.

And if he achieves this step, he will also seize the rule of Alabasta, with a population of 27 million, an elite army of 2 million, and the ancient weapon Pluto.

Then he and Austria There is only the last gap between Grim and Grim!

The level of cadres and combat effectiveness!

And this gap will be quickly filled after he enters the new world in full glory, because in the new world, The most indispensable thing is masters.

If Crocodile really comes up with this kind of ancient weapon Pluto, and enters the new world with a million-strong army in hand, he can pull up a high-quality cadre team in minutes!

So! It has to be said that Crocodile's plan was quite successful.

It was a serious 'overtaking in a corner' project.

He found another way to close the gap between himself and the top pirates.

He didn't He has the ability to run a huge force like Avalon from scratch like Orgrim did.

It doesn't matter, he decided to capture one directly!

This is what he has planned for many years while studying Orgrim in Alabasta. The ultimate ambition!

And once he completes the layout of this ambition, he can instantly change from the 'street king under the Shichibukai' to the 'top pirate on the sea'!

Now, as far as Crocodile is concerned, the entire Ala Bastan has no one who can threaten him at all. The Neferutali royal family, no matter in terms of strength or strategy, is not worthy of being his opponent Crocodile.

Now he just doesn't have the opportunity. The prestige of the Neferutali royal family It is still very high, with more than 20 million citizens. It is impossible for him to usurp power with strong methods. Otherwise, let alone entering the new world, it will take him more than ten or twenty years to calm down the chaos and secure his position.

Therefore, he will use gentle means to boil the frog of the Neferutali royal family to death.

Now, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. In the next five to ten years, he will definitely be able to use the most orthodox means to kill Naferuta. Li Wang Clan.

Therefore, before entering the new world, he only has one thing left!

That is...Find the ancient weapon Pluto!

In fact, it was no different from what Crocodile expected.

If the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't come with the halo of the protagonist and forced him, the king of the desert, into the desert without any reason or logic, the Neferutali royal family would have been wiped out at the hands of Crocodile.

Once the ancient weapons are obtained, Crocodile will take off directly!

How could he go to jail in Imperial?
