Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 158: The prince of the fallen kingdom? Or the princess? (Two updates, 6k, please subscribe!)

"Sand crocodile, you..."

Mihawk looked at Buckingham Stussy, who had completely lost his life, and frowned slightly.

"never mind."

What Mihawk originally wanted to say was - Buckingham Stussy was Edward Weeble's mother.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or false, at least Edward Weibel recognizes Buckingham Stussy's true identity.

And Mihawk remembered clearly that Haku had just said that he wanted to recruit Edward Weeble.

White Dragon wants to recruit Edward Weeble.

The sand crocodile killed Edward Weeble's "mother".

Ah this...

Mihawk thought about it for a moment and felt that this was none of his business, so he simply kept silent.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."

Mihawk said this and then walked towards the shore of Golden Island alone.

Even though he had just joined the so-called "Cross Guild";
Even though there is a so-called "Whitebeard III" Edward Weibull on the island;
Even though Buckingham Stussy had revealed a lot of secrets about the sea in his last words...

These things have basically no appeal to Mihawk.

In comparison.

Mihawk is more concerned about something else now, something he told Bai Long before -

He came to the East China Sea to collect some information about Red Hair.

Which is stronger, “having red hair on both hands” or “having red hair on one hand”?

This slightly strange problem is still bothering Mihawk.

He felt that there must be some special secret behind the fact that Red Hair lost an arm in the weakest East China Sea.

Now that he was in the East Sea, Mihawk planned to investigate on his own.

So at this moment he turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Hey! Hawkeye!"

Storm shouted at Mihawk's back.

“Keep in touch!
"If you're curious about Red Hair's actions in the East China Sea, you can ask me!"

Mihawk paused for a moment, then walked away at a quicker pace without even looking back.

Crocodile watched the world's greatest swordsman leave and threw away the mummified body of Buckingham Stussy.

"Haku, what did you do to Mihawk? And those photos just now..."

The "photo" that Crocodile was referring to was, of course, Mihawk's "harpy photo".

If we use his own example to infer, then it is -

Bai Long defeated Hawkeye, and then used his ability to transform his body...

What a joke! ?

Crocodile admitted that White Dragon is indeed stronger now.

But is this bastard really stronger than the world's greatest swordsman?

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, and Red-Haired Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates are on par with each other in terms of strength.

If we only consider the level of personal strength.

"The world's greatest swordsman" and "the new world's pirate emperor" can be equated.

If White Dragon is stronger than Hawkeye...

Doesn’t that mean that Bailong’s strength is comparable to that of the Pirate Emperor of the New World?

Red Hair, Beasts, Big Mom, or even Whitebeard?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
"I didn't do anything special."

Storm looked at Crocodile with a slightly innocent look and spread his hands.

"I just did to you what I did to Mihawk."

This guy……

Crocodile's heart was shaken.

Really beat Hawkeye...

"Hahaha! Look at the expression on your face, Lao Sha."

Storm suddenly burst into laughter.

"Actually, Hawkeye is only slightly stronger than you!"

As he said this, Storm stretched out his right hand and made a gap with his index finger and thumb.

The universe at your fingertips.

"Humph!"

Crocodile snorted coldly. He forced himself not to think about the issue of strength and deliberately changed the subject.

"Regarding the 'Cross Guild', how do you plan to develop it?"

"You're asking me?"

"Besides you and me, is there a third member of the Cross Guild here?"

"Good question. Regarding the Cross Guild, my development strategy is - hope for what is hopeful and wait for what is hopeful!"

"……what?"

Crocodile was stunned and didn't understand what Bailong meant.

"What did you say?"

"To put it simply -"

Storm twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You don't have to do anything!"

"..."

Crocodile was speechless for a moment. He took several deep breaths before he calmed himself down.

"Then why did you actively advocate the establishment of the Cross Guild? I thought you had some special plan."

"It's not easy for the three Shichibukai to get together. We can't waste such a rare opportunity. That's why I advocate the formation of a 'Seven Warlords' internal group'."

Storm shrugged his shoulders and explained calmly. "Besides, didn't you listen to what Hawkeye said before?

"The World Government will not allow three Shichibukai to join one organization.

“If we take action immediately and expose the existence of the Cross Guild, the World Government will be furious and directly abolish our current identity.

“So how do we proceed with the other plans?

"Like, how are you still staying in Alabasta, pretending to be a hero?"

Crocodile glared at him, "What did you say?"

"Well, I'm not pretending to be a hero..."

Storm curled his lips and changed his words.

"How did you plot against [Pluto]?"

Crocodile was not panicked when his plan was revealed by Bai Long, because he already knew that Bai Long knew his plan...

"Speaking of [Pluto]...ancient weapons."

Crocodile recalled what Buckingham Stussy had just said and asked tentatively.

"Aren't you interested in ancient weapons?

"Seize all the ancient weapons and become... the king of the world!"

"good question."

Storm nodded first, then shook his head.

“Old Sand, you are interested in ancient weapons—never mind, I guess you are not interested in [Heavenly King] and [Sea King], but only care about that broken ship.

"How well do you know Pluto?"

Who said I'm not interested in [Uranus] and [Aquaman]? !
And what is "that broken ship"?

Crocodile's eyelids twitched.

"The ancient weapon [Pluto] is known as the 'world's worst battleship'. The cannon of [Pluto] can destroy an island with one shot."

Crocodile slowly told the information he knew, and then pretended to test it casually.

"This 'World Crime Battleship' is currently hidden somewhere in the ocean, along with its design drawings..."

"Oh, yes."

Storm chuckled and then asked.

"Who is the 'king of the world' now?"

Crocodile answered without hesitation: "Of course the World Government!"

"Eh? Really?"

Storm blinked and said in a strange tone.

"I thought you were going to say the Four Emperors!"

"...Do you think I'm an ignorant brat, Bai Long?"

Crocodile looked surprised.

"The navy is the most powerful force on this ocean! The power of the World Government is even greater than that of the navy!"

"It seems that you also know that the current 'King of the World' is the World Government."

Storm smiled noncommittally and then asked again.

"Then why do you think that if you get the ancient weapon, you will become the new king of the world?"

Crocodile answered directly: "Of course it's because the power of ancient weapons is enough to destroy the world!"

"Then why didn't the group of people who possessed ancient weapons become the king of the world?"

Storm stared at Crocodile and asked the most important question.

“The World Government considers ancient weapons to be taboo because in the past, ancient weapons have posed a major threat to the World Government.

“But hundreds of years ago, it was the current world government that won the world.

"This means that the group of people who possessed the ancient weapons, the group of people who were considered enemies by the World Government, failed in the 'Great War'.

“Even with ancient weapons that could destroy the heavens and the earth, those people still failed.

"so.

"Since when did you develop the illusion that you could conquer the world by owning ancient weapons?"

Crocodile was speechless after hearing Storm's words.

But Storm's problems did not end there.

"Actually, I'm curious, why have you been so tirelessly pursuing the power of Pluto?"

Storm's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Crocodile's heart directly.

"Is it because you have seen the power of ancient weapons? Have you seen an entire island being wiped out from the sea by ancient weapons? Have you seen the kind of devastating attack?

"So you think that as long as you find Pluto, you can completely defeat Whitebeard and his Whitebeard Pirates!

"Have you ever considered that the power of ancient weapons can indeed destroy the world.

"But Whitebeard's [Tremor-Tremor Fruit] also has the power to destroy the world!
"Is Whitebeard also some kind of 'ancient weapon'?"

"What do you know? White Dragon!"

Crocodile clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly.

“You know nothing!
"As long as I can possess powerful enough [ancient weapons], I can build a strong enough military state!

"A military nation that is not threatened by any force, including the World Government!
“This is my dream utopia!”

Crocodile's dream and ambition was indeed to build such a "utopia".

Including the Baroque Studio he personally established, its establishment goal was also to create such a "dream country".

"You just want to rebuild a 'Valley of God'?"

Storm said calmly.

"A valley of gods that won't be slaughtered by celestial dragons or invaded by pirates!
"Crocodile, you are the prince of the fallen kingdom of God's Valley, right?"

"Or maybe... a princess of a fallen nation?"
