Pirates: The Scientist Who Became the Ultimate Lifeform.

It is now the 12th day since Caesar Pirates issued the recruitment order and there are still three days until the official start.

Today, an interesting character finally came to Dressrosa. A seemingly ordinary pirate ship slowly arrived at the port of Dressrosa.

"Hey, look, there's another pirate ship coming. I wonder how much bounty they have. Do you recognize any of them?"

Many pirates looked at the unfamiliar flag with confusion on their faces, but one pirate who was more sensitive to information recognized it.

"That should be Crocodile, the one with a bounty of 4000 million."

"Hahahaha, how come I haven't heard of this name? Turns out he's just a small fry with a bounty of 4000 million."

"Tsk, you have a bounty of 20 million and you dare to laugh at others."

In fact, Crocodile’s strength is not bad. Although he is only 18 years old now, he will have a big battle with Barrett in two years.

At that time, the two of them fought to a draw, and challenged Whitebeard in the same year.

Although he failed in the end and lost an arm, he still survived and became the first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

These records all prove that the opponent's strength is not weak, but Crocodile is a person who knows how to hide, and he never shows his full ability to others.

Therefore, the navy obviously misjudged his bounty. Duke and others did not notice them at this time. It was only when Caesar inadvertently saw the familiar name that he reacted.

Crocodile is a very talented being. Although his bounty is not high now, Caesar estimates that he must have at least hundreds of millions of pirates or even stronger strength.

"Interesting. How did this guy come to my island?"

You have to know that the other party is not a guy who likes to be under someone else's command.

Caesar knows Crocodile very well. Crocodile is the first boss Luffy encounters in the Grand Line.

He has good charisma and combat ability, and is a user of the natural Sand-Sand Fruit.

Whether it is setting up a studio or hiding in Alabasta, it proves that the other party's abilities are outstanding.

Although he went astray after his defeat to Whitebeard and pursued the so-called ancient weapons, it cannot be denied that the other party's talent is very strong.

"Duke, go and ask this guy named Crocodile to come to the palace to see me."

Caesar wanted to see for himself what purpose the future king of the desert had in coming here.

"It is Captain Caesar. I will go and get him into the palace at once."

After waiting for two hours, Caesar finally saw the familiar man.

At this time, Crocodile's arms were intact, there was no scar on his face, and he had a flintlock on his waist, and his face looked a bit like a pretty boy.

You know what, Crocodile was quite handsome when he was young.

"Are you Crocodile?"

Crocodile had a solemn look on his face at this moment. He didn't understand why a small minion with a bounty of 4000 million was targeted by the other party.

"Yes, I am Crocodile. I don't know why you, the legendary devil Caesar, are looking for me. I am just an ordinary little pirate."

Crocodile couldn't figure out what was so special about himself that attracted the other party's attention. Could it be because of his nature fruit?

Caesar released a powerful pressure from his body without saying a word. This level of pressure was enough to make those pirates with hundreds of millions of dollars unable to move.

But there was actually a hint of relief on Crocodile's face.

Looking at Crocodile's appearance, Caesar showed satisfaction on his face. In fact, the method to resist such powerful pressure is very simple, as long as your mental quality is strong enough.

And the Crocodile in front of him can definitely be called a man with a strong mind.

"What is your purpose in coming to our Dressrosa this time? Are you planning to join my Caesar Pirates?"

Crocodile did not answer this question. He could clearly feel that Caesar's question was not well-intentioned.

He was thinking about what he should say to avoid the other party's suspicion of him.

"Yes, I came here this time just to join the Caesar Pirates."

Caesar did not continue to ask but said something that the other party did not expect.

"Then you will be the reserve officer of our Caesar Pirates from now on."

Caesar walked up to Crocodile, his tall figure looming over Crocodile and patted him on the shoulder.

"I believe your future is limitless."

Under Duke's envious eyes, Crocodile, with a confused look on his face, was led by Duke to the core area of ​​Dressrosa in a daze.

Crocodile sat on the luxurious big bed with a confused look on his face that had not disappeared yet.

He didn't understand how he could become a reserve cadre of Caesar's Pirates just by going to the palace in a daze.

Originally, I just wanted to see what kind of person this so-called devil Caesar was, and in the end, I just needed to sneak away.

Unexpectedly, he is now caught in such a dilemma. Crocodile is not the kind of person who is willing to be someone else's subordinate.

He also began to think about how to escape Dressrosa, but for now he wanted to see what kind of excitement would occur at the recruitment meeting in a few days.

He knew that this recruitment campaign would be very lively. With Caesar's fame, he estimated that the powerful people from the World Government and the New World would get involved.

He planned to watch the fun before leaving. Anyway, with his strength, it would be no problem for him to escape. After all, he was a user of the natural fruit ability, so how could he not run away if he couldn't beat the opponent?

"Duke, how strong do you feel the opponent is?"

Caesar asked Duke who was standing aside. Duke's observation Haki had now improved to a very strong level.

Caesar estimated that Duke was not far from awakening his special advanced domineering aura.

"Captain Caesar, I can sense that the opponent's strength is not just 4000 million. In fact, the aura of the opponent is three times stronger than those pirates with hundreds of millions of dollars."

Caesar nodded in approval. Crocodile’s strength was indeed extraordinary.

You have to know that he is only 18 years old, and he has great potential.

"but."

A hint of melancholy appeared on Duke's face.

"But what?"

"But I can sense that he has the ambition to not be under someone else's control for long, and even has a bit of potential to be a hegemon."

Hearing Duke's words, Caesar showed a hint of interest on his face.

He didn't expect that in Duke's perception, the other party actually had the potential of domineering color.

However, Crocodile did not awaken the Conqueror's Haki in the future, but it may be because he was defeated by Whitebeard.

"Don't worry, I'm the evil Caesar."

A powerful domineering aura emanated from Caesar's body, and this domineering aura actually created a crack on the wall of the palace.

Feeling the strong self-confidence coming from Caesar, Duke did not refute, but just nodded and told him to be alert.

“Okay, Duke, don’t worry about the other party. What you need to do now is to arrange the things we arranged in advance.”

"The job fair in three days will definitely not go smoothly. I think there will be a lot of people who want to cause trouble."

"Be prepared to fight at any time."

"Yes, Captain Caesar."
