I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Kos is afraid of Crocodile. After all, he knows very well that this sand crocodile is a murderer who kills without blinking an eye and is not afraid of dry eyes.

But it is precisely because he knows what kind of person Crocodile is that Kos is not so afraid of him.

As the saying goes, all fear comes from insufficient firepower. No, it should be that all fear comes from the unknown. Crocodile's information has long been seen by Kos from a God's perspective, knowing his past and personality, and even being able to determine it. The fear caused by Crocodile was greatly reduced when his actions were anticipated.

It's just like if you read the guide before playing a horror game and know the timing of monsters' appearance and attack methods, then you may still be jumped by sudden jumps while playing.

Scare scares me, but I am not afraid to punch through the screen because I am well prepared.

In addition, Kos knows the truth of "there is no point in panicking", so even if he has other emotions in his heart, he will not show them casually at this time.

This is the explanation Kos gave to Crocodile, but in Crocodile's view, what is more important is the previous sentence - "She and I are not the same kind of people."

Those words sounded like Cos was saying that he was not a prophet, but it actually proved it to Crocodile. Otherwise, how could Cos say with such certainty that the two were not the same, and in Crocodile? Dahl's understanding of "not the same kind of people" means that Coase and Charlie are not the same kind of prophets.

In fact, Kos also deliberately led Crocodile to think in this direction. Since Crocodile doesn't believe the truth, let's tell it according to what Crocodile himself believes!

"Charlie's mermaid's prophecy method is to directly see the future. So how did your prophecy come true?"

Crocodile stopped the coffee cup handed over by Robin, grabbed Kos's shoulder with one hand and forced him to look at him.

Kos pursed his lips impatiently, then reluctantly took out a thick stack of cards from his jacket pocket and threw it on the coffee table.

"This, this is what I use, okay?"

After seeing Kos take out the tarot cards, Crocodile let go of him, then took the tarot cards in his hand and looked at them carefully, and found nothing unusual.

However, because he had seen the crystal ball used by Charlie for divination and understood that these divination props were undoubtedly ordinary items in the hands of outsiders, Crocodile was not surprised by the ordinaryness of Kos's tarot cards.

"I'm curious about what exactly you asked Charlie about?"

Kos was truly curious about this plot that was not mentioned in the original plot.

"There's nothing to hide. I want to know from her how I can get out of this predicament."

Crocodile lit another cigar and puffed away, as if recalling the past in this way was formal.

"Then she showed me two pictures. One was a scene somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line, and the other was a vague wanted poster with my photo and the words "Yonko" on it.

After Crocodile finished speaking, Kos glanced at Robin subconsciously, because he remembered that it wasn't Robin who told Crocodile that Alabasta had the ancient weapon Pluto? Why did it suddenly turn out to be Xia Li's guidance?

But it's not surprising if you think about it - Crocodile should have stayed in the New World before encountering the Waterloo of his life, otherwise he would not have been able to face Barrett and challenge Whitebeard and fail. Pirates in the New World are all arrogant. If there are no unexpected circumstances, they will not come to retire in a place called "paradise" in the first half of the Grand Line. Even the disgraceful guy in Moria chose to settle down in the Devil's Triangle because it was suitable for him to create storage zombies. So Crocodile must have been attracted to the first half of the Grand Line for some reason before he met Robin and was Inform Hades of his existence.

As for whether the picture shown by Xia Li is wrong? That's not the case.

Although Crocodile's plan to plot Pluto in Alabasta later failed, maybe the key is not to get Pluto, but the result of failure and being caught?

Just imagine how many people throughout the ages have achieved enlightenment behind bars and reached the peak of their lives after being released from prison? Maybe the few months he was imprisoned in the city were the key to Crocodile's recovery from the mental breakdown after his defeat to Whitebeard.

Look at his attitude of not giving up on anyone when he faced the war, and his attitude of being ready to challenge Whitebeard again without Luffy stopping him. You can't say that he has been reborn, it can only be said that he has a completely new look.

And as far as the results are concerned, Crocodile became the "Royal Father" of the Four Emperors within two years after he was released from prison. He has indeed emerged from the predicament and entered a rising period in life.

"So you want me to tell you a divination?"

Kos placed his hands on the tarot cards, seemingly reluctantly.

"Although it is different from what I originally expected, compared to the Celestial Dragons, the Prophet is more useful to me."

Crocodile pressed the golden hook on Cos' hand which was on the tarot card.

"This time I want to know a more accurate prophecy, can you do it?"

Kos took out his hand, and then took the tarot cards into his hand one by one, shuffling the cards while looking thoughtful.

However, what he was thinking about was not whether he should give Crocodile a divination, but what kind of answer Crocodile wanted to get.

Although Crocodile has not yet said what he wants to divination, he can probably guess based on the previous conversation and what he asked Charlie.

After thinking about a rough response plan in his mind, Kos finally spoke slowly as if he had made a difficult decision:

"Okay, but you have to carefully decide what you want to ask, because the secret cannot be leaked, so I can only reveal the fate of one person once, and I can only have one chance a day."

Since things that are obtained too easily will not be valued by others, fortune tellers will pay attention to the sense of ritual and set a bunch of rules, some and some, to increase the credibility of their divination.

"By the way, is there any incense? If there is, I can light it when I do the divination later. It can ease my mental exhaustion a little."

When Robin lit the incense, Kos and Crocodile sat facing each other. Kos had already placed the Tarot cards on both sides according to the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

"I want to know if my current goals are achievable?"

Crocodile sat upright and spoke.

"Which one are you asking about? The one who gets something, or the one who achieves status? The two seem to be mutually exclusive, but in fact..."

Kos shut up immediately as if he suddenly realized something mid-sentence. Crocodile's face changed drastically after he had listened halfway. He stepped over the coffee table and grabbed Kos's collar.

"Don't you know everything? And you said you want to use it..."

"cough--"

Before Crocodile could continue to attack, Kos spurted out a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been directly smeared in the face.
