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

Chapter 46 Keeping Your Promise

"Crocodile, you don't want me to tell the Navy Headquarters about my discovery of the Devil's Child, do you?"

"dududu~"

"..."

Crocodile looked at the Den Den Mushi that was hung up again with a dark face. The cigar in his left hand kept smoking. Finally, he squeezed it tightly like this...

The cigar turned into ash and flew away!
"Boss, do you need me to capture that guy?" Baroque Works' codename Mr. 1, Daz Bonis, saw his boss so angry, with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold tone, "Since he has already found him, there is no point. I will bring him to you personally."

only.

Facing Daz Bonis's proposal, Crocodile still refused with a dark face. He relit a cigar, took a deep puff, and the anger on his face seemed to ease a little. He said lightly, "No need. As long as that guy can bring the son of the devil to me, that will be enough!"

To be honest, he didn't expect that guy could find the Devil's Son so quickly in just a few days?!
Should I say...

It really is a useful chess piece!
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "As for the rest, I'll talk about it after that guy comes to me!"

"That money..."

"...Call him!" Crocodile flicked the ash off his hand and said expressionlessly, "What's more important for us now is that we must not let the World Government discover our plan!"

As he said that, he stood up again with a sneer, standing by the window, overlooking the entire prosperous rainy land, with a hideous smile, "And I can't wait to see that greedy navy appear in front of me!"

He would like to see...

Will that guy be able to take the six hundred million Baileys away from him by then?

……

the other side.

Everyone looked in silence at Xia Che, who was smiling and hanging up the Den Den Mushi.

"Is this the big business you mentioned?" Krocas looked at Xia Che with a strange look in his eyes and was the first to break the silence. Then, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't the son of the devil right next to you?"

“But he doesn’t know~”

"..." After hearing Xia Che's answer, Krocas was silent for a moment, then frowned again, "Are you planning to betray your partner?"

As soon as these words fell.

Bonnie, who was treating the patient, and Big Bear beside her also frowned and looked at Xia Che.

Especially Bonnie...she pouted and glared at him angrily, as if he was a scum.

And the big bear...

It was only afterwards that he realized the woman was Nico Robin.

Of course, he also knew a little about the secrets hidden by this son of the devil who was wanted by the world government.

It can be said that those who want to know the truth of history are looking for her. Even the revolutionary army is also secretly looking for this son of the devil.

The result was unexpected...

The Devil's Son that the revolutionary army had been looking for for so many years was hiding in the East China Sea.

And...he's hiding in the East China Sea Naval Branch?
I wonder what the Navy Headquarters’ reaction will be when they find out?

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, you can't wrongly accuse me!" Noticing Daxiong's gaze, Xia Che quickly waved his hands, looked at Krocas, and said seriously, "I just hired a new employee, don't confuse me. People who don't know will think I'm a black-hearted boss!"

He spread his hands and said as a matter of course, "I just said to bring the person to him, I didn't say to hand him over to him."

“You guy…” Crocus seemed to understand what this guy meant, and looked at him strangely again, “Did Crocodile offend you?”

"Of course, I offended him~" After hearing what Krocas said, Xia Che showed a meaningful smile on his face, "And it was a big offense. That guy was trying to poach my employees. Do you think this is a big crime?"

"Poaching employees? Never mind. It's none of my business anyway." Krocas showed a hint of surprise on his face, but after looking at Nico Robin who had an elegant smile on her face and was not at all panicked, he shook his head indifferently.

He already knew about Nico Robin being around this guy.

After all, he is such a grown-up and reads newspapers all day long, and he doesn't have face blindness like other people.

How could I not recognize it?

These things are no longer interesting to him now!

"But..." Krocus's eyes fell on Xia Che again, "Let me remind you, the guy who was recognized by the World Government and awarded the title of Shichibukai is not that simple."

"I know~"

In response to Krocas's reminder, Xia Che waved his hand nonchalantly.

If it was a later version of Crocodile, he might have to be more careful, but the Crocodile of this period...his previous ambitions and beliefs had long been shattered.

Speaking of which, the world of pirates is also quite idealistic.

Once beliefs and ambitions are broken, not only will strength not increase, it may even weaken.

For example, another of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gekko Moriah, became a dead fat otaku after being defeated by Kaido and his companions were sacrificed.

It is precisely because of this...

After being demoted, his strength did not grow, he had no achievements in the East China Sea, and he did not attract much attention. The Navy Headquarters only thought that the former genius had fallen and did not care.

After all, for the Navy Headquarters...

He is just a naval captain genius!
"It seems like you are already prepared?" Krocas looked at Xia Che again, frowned, and pondered for a moment, "Then when are you going to leave?"

"Of course... now!" Xia Che raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a serious businessman's smile, and said, "Since I said I would bring the person to him immediately, then it will be immediately. As long as he transfers the money, I promise to appear in front of him immediately. You know, I am the most trustworthy person in doing business!"

I originally thought that I would need to drive the boat slowly to Alabasta, but now that Big Bear is right next to me, is it necessary to go through so much trouble?
It only took a moment to fly over this distance.

It will even be much more convenient to travel between various sea areas in the future.

I have to say, it was a pleasant surprise to recruit Big Bear during this outing!
Then he ignored Krocus's contemptuous look, turned his head to look at Big Bear, and said, "I'll leave it to you later!"

"Yes!"

When Daxiong received the first order from his new boss, he nodded without hesitation.

Since the boss has fulfilled his promise, he will also abide by it. Although Bonnie has not been completely cured, her illness has been alleviated!
For him who has been facing despair, as long as there is hope, that's enough!
He had already made up his mind that he would pay any price to cure Bonnie!
Therefore, even if the next enemy is the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as a father he will not have any hesitation!
……

at the same time.

East China Sea.

In the Windmill Village Tavern in the Kingdom of Goa.

now.

"squeak~"

As the pub door shook.

"welcome."

A gentle female voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards...

“Hahaha, Makino, is there another customer?” A bold and rough voice sounded, “It looks like the tavern is doing really good business today! I hope it’s a generous customer who can buy me a drink!”

"Mr. Karp~, please don't say that." Makino showed a helpless expression on his face, and smiled helplessly at the guest who slowly walked in with an old backpack. Then he lowered his head and looked at Karp who was drinking in front of the bar without any image, and said with a smile, "Also, this guest seems to be looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Hearing Makino's words, Garp, who had just finished his beer in one gulp, was stunned and put down the glass in his hand, "Who is it? Could it be that those two brats Luffy and Coby are back?"

The words fell.

Just when I was about to turn around to see who it was.

Sudden.

A slap hit his shoulder, and then a familiar figure sat down next to him and said with a lazy smile, "Mr. Karp~"
