Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 36 You Can't
"Did you see the agent I sent? She was specially selected by Miss Two-Fingers. Miss Two-Fingers said she was the most beautiful female agent this time!"

"..."

What does this guy mean?
No, when did my image in the sea become what it is now?
Nami looks at him like this, Kuzan looks at him like this, and now even his partner Crocodile looks at him like this?
"Oh, what a corrupt navy captain." Kuzan, who was watching the drama, looked at Xia Che with gloating, "No wonder he has been hiding in the East China Sea~"

"..." Xia Che ignored Kuzan who was watching the fun, stared at the sight, gritted his teeth, and said with the Den Den Mushi, "I see, I see!" He laughed, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about? If there's nothing, I'll hang up!"

"That agent didn't say that?" Hearing what Xia Che said, Crocodile Den Den Mushi frowned, and then snorted coldly, "What a stupid agent, anyway."

Den Den Mushi, who was holding a cigar, seemed to exhale a puff of smoke with a serious expression on his face.

"I do need your help with something this time!"

"Please say!"

"Baroque Works has received information that the devil's child, Nico Robin, is now hiding in the East China Sea. I need you to help me find her and bring her to the Kingdom of Alabasta!"

As Crocodile's voice fell.

"..."

Everyone immediately narrowed their eyes, even Kuzan, looking at the Den Den Mushi.

He didn't seem to have expected that the target of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile would be the Son of the Devil by the World Government?

As for Nico Robin, who can interpret historical texts, there is only one reason why the pirates are looking for her.

Is that guy also interested in so-called historical texts?
Kuzan raised his head and looked at Xia Che expressionlessly, [What will you choose? ]

How to choose?

Xia Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in surprise, "The Devil's Son is in the East China Sea. Is your information reliable? Brother Crocodile~"

"I don't know yet, but Baroque Works did receive news that the Devil's Child fled to the East China Sea, so I hope you can help me find her. After all, as a captain of the East China Sea Navy, it will be more convenient for you to be in the East China Sea." Crocodile Den Den Mushi said with a serious expression, "If I find you, I won't treat you unfairly!"

“Hey, I am…”

"One hundred million. I can offer a better price than the World Government!" Before Xia Che finished speaking, Crocodile seemed to have guessed what Xia Che wanted to say and directly offered the price without hesitation, "As long as you can hand her over to me!"

The words fell.

"..."

Xia Che did not answer him immediately, but narrowed his eyes again.

And this moment.

After hearing Crocodile's words, the entire hall fell silent again. Everyone lowered their heads and looked at Shache, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, without any appearance of a righteous navy man.

How would you choose?
Even Kuzan, who was originally lazy, sat up straight at this time, crossed his hands in front of his chin and rested them on his knees. There was no other expression on his face. He glanced at Robin who was looking at Shache with a faint smile.

[Nicole Robin, is your choice the right one this time? ]

But it wasn't just Robin. Even Nami curled her lips when she heard the 100 million. "Just 100 million..."

Although it’s a lot, who are you looking down on?

Wouldn’t it be possible if we just let Mok make one more trip?

And they still have gold mines to dig!
just.

Seeing that Shache did not immediately reject Crocodile, Nami glanced at Robin, then looked at Shache. Although she knew that Shache would not really be interested in the 100 million, she still opened her mouth anxiously, "Shache..."

The words are not finished yet.

But he was directly pulled back by Robin.

Robin shook his head at Nami, then looked at Shache with a smile on his face, "I believe him!"

She had given herself to him.

Now that you have made your choice, how can you doubt your boss?
And this time.

Xia Che, with his eyes narrowed, finally spoke. He lay leisurely on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "Of course I helped you, brother! But..."

Before Den Den Mushi could even show a satisfied smile.

"I want 500 million! After all, the East China Sea is very big. It's not easy to find a hidden person. My men also need to eat. And this is very dangerous for me as a navy. If the World Government finds out, I will be in trouble."

"..." Faced with Xia Che's price increase, Crocodile Den Den Mushi fell silent, and then seemed to suppress his inner anger, "Five hundred million, you know yourself..."

only.

The words are not finished yet.

"Crocodile, you don't want the Navy Headquarters to hear that you're looking for the Devil's Son!"

As Xia Che finished speaking, Crocodile Den Den Mushi fell silent again.

"Three hundred million! It can't be more! You should know that the Navy Headquarters will not tolerate a Navy colonel who keeps pirates in captivity!" Crocodile Den Den Mushi said expressionlessly, "And I haven't even seen the Devil's Son yet!"

"Okay! For your sake, Crocodile brother~" Xia Che, who called his brother again, laughed and said, "Can you just transfer the money first?"

"Got it!" As if he couldn't stand the reality of this corrupted navy captain, Crocodile Den Den Mushi snorted coldly, "I hope you can find it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

The words are not finished yet.

He just hung up the phone.

"dududu~"

"..."

Xia Che still squinted at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, then ignored Kuzan who was looking at him with a meaningful smile, raised his head, turned his head to look at Robin beside him, and sighed, "It seems that there are many people who want to take you away!"

The words fell.

Robin on the side also smiled, as if he didn't care at all about what Xia Che had just said. He smiled elegantly and winked playfully, "Then the BOSS has to keep a close eye on me~" "..."

It's only been one night, but the secretary has become quite skilled~
Xia Che smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Vivi in ​​front of him, "Now let's talk about what Alabasta can give me?"

……

at the same time.

"..."

Crocodile, who also hung up the phone, looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a gloomy face. In the dim office, he muttered to himself in a gloomy tone, "Dander Shache..."

"Do you need me to deal with the colonel myself?" Hearing the meaningful words of his boss, the sturdy man with a white crew cut, black skin, Baroque Works agent, codenamed Mr. 1, named Daz Bonis, said with a serious expression, "I will make him complete the boss's mission honestly!"

"No need! He's just a corrupted navy captain." Crocodile shook his head, holding his cigar in his left hand and knocking on the table with his right hand. "It won't be too late to deal with him after he finds the person I want."

A genius colonel demoted by the Navy Headquarters?

It's ridiculous. How can a guy who has stayed in the Weakest Sea for so many years, colluded with pirates, made money in the East China Sea, played with female pirates, and has no achievements at all be still a genius?

Although he also escaped from the New World to the Grand Line, he did not fall. He has been looking for ways to re-enter the New World and prepare to avenge his previous shame!
And now...

He has already found a way.

If he didn't have some strength and wanted to make that guy his spy in the navy, as a big pirate, he would never pay any attention to such a disgusting thing.

Crocodile thought of the guy he first met. His unique swordsmanship really surprised him at that time, but the dignified naval captain was so secretive towards the woman beside him. She deliberately changed the subject when he asked her, and refused to even look at him for a few more seconds.

And that daughter... Even though that guy didn't say it, the smell that woman exudes is not something the navy would have.

The smell of that criminal was so familiar to him.

He is just a corrupt naval captain who was exiled to the East China Sea, plays with pirate women, and is greedy for money and lustful.

But if it wasn't the case, how could I bribe him?

This is also the reason why I haven't asked this guy for the debt all these years.

A fool who still has value!

Crocodile sneered, raised his head, looked at Daz Bonis beside him, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and said, "I'd better leave the Baroque Works to you for the time being. Don't let others find out my identity. Also, transfer the money as soon as possible, otherwise, that greedy navy won't do anything for me. As for that female agent, I guess... she won't be back!"

……

the other side.

"I……"

After hearing what Colonel Xia Che said, Princess Weiwei suddenly felt happy, but then she frowned again before she could speak.

"According to your introduction just now, the Kingdom of Alabasta seems to be one of the most powerful countries in the Grand Line." After hearing Xia Che's decision, Nami was a little worried in her heart, but she had no choice but to accept it.

Next…

The negotiation will have to be left to her.

Nami's eyes glowed with a familiar light, and she had a professional smile on her lips. "How about 1 billion? This price is not expensive for saving a country~"

only.

Faced with the conditions offered by Nami, Vivi's face, which had been happy, fell.

Seeing Vivi's expression, Nami, who has always dealt with money, could see it. She looked at Vivi suspiciously, "A country like the Grand Line, a mere ten billion is..."

"The current Alabasta Kingdom really can't afford it. The Alabasta Kingdom used to be a peaceful, prosperous and bustling country, but due to the weather in recent years, not only has the domestic income decreased, but riots have also occurred among the people. Now the Alabasta Kingdom is in chaos and the country has not much money left after suffering from disasters. For the sake of the people, most of the money has to be used to subsidize everyone."

Vivi showed a bitter smile on her face. "So, although I also hope that you can help the Kingdom of Alabasta, the Kingdom of Alabasta simply cannot afford 1 billion right now!"

"Is it so bad?" After hearing what Princess Vivi said, Nami scratched her head in pain.

Of course, Nami also recognized Princess Vivi for not hiding it from them. Especially when she heard that a princess of a big country actually infiltrated a criminal organization in order to save her country, she couldn't help but think of her own past.

After sighing inwardly, he glanced at Xia Che beside him, and then looked at Wei Wei helplessly, "You are not planning to get it for free, are you? Is there nothing good in Alabasta? Why don't you tell me?"

"I..." Vivi raised her head and looked at the people in front of her. Finally, she looked at the woman sitting next to Colonel Shache. She seemed to have thought of something and showed a hint of hesitation on her face. But then she thought of the current situation of the Kingdom of Alabasta, the citizens who were being concealed, and the terrifying Seven Warlords of the Sea. She gritted her teeth and said as if she had made up her mind, "I can give you the most beautiful national treasure of the Kingdom of Alabasta!"

"The national treasure of the Kingdom of Alabasta?" Nami was instantly interested when she heard it. "How could a big country not have treasures? What is it?"

The voice just fell.

Vivi, who was wrapped in a blanket, stood up and lifted the blanket. She gritted her teeth and said, "I! As long as you can save the Kingdom of Alabasta, I can..."

however.

The words are not finished yet.

"You can't! Just give me credit! Pay me back when Alabasta has money!" Nami interrupted Vivi without hesitation with a dark face, then turned her head and glared at Xia Che, "Look at what you have done!"

"Oh my, he is indeed a corrupt naval captain!"

"Brother Xia Che, Dadada~"

"BOSS, hehe~"

"..."

I didn't do anything!
And there’s nothing to see!

Under the blanket... is just a piece of clothing with black and white circles. What's so good about this strange clothing? It's better to look at his secretary's uniform!

"It's decided!" Xia Che said with a fake voice, and stood up expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened just now. He stretched leisurely, ignoring Kuzan who was looking at him lazily, and lowered his head to look at Robin who was looking at him with a smile. He shook the black fur coat on his body, and said with the momentum of a navy colonel, "Tell Lao Mo that there is life again!"

　Since it is a push, I hope it can still get some votes and follow-up reading.
