One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"Haha~"

After hearing Orochi's words, Crocodile took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it in front of Orochi, and blew a cloud of smoke into Orochi's face, causing Orochi to cough. He then said coldly, "Idiot, do you think my Baroque Works can freely sail the four seas and even the Grand Line because of who I rely on? I ask you, can the true king of this sea—the World Government—swallow the meager amount of weapons your country produces every year?"

"The World Government?"

After hearing Crocodile's words, the giant snake was stunned for a moment.

"To be precise, the people standing behind me are the Celestial Dragons who lead the World Government!"

Crocodile said coldly as he puffed on his cigar.

"Wow, a Celestial Dragon? A World Noble..."

Even an idiot like the Great Serpent has heard of the world's nobles.

"What's before you now is an opportunity for the Celestial Dragons to recognize your Wano Country as a member state of the World Government, and to acknowledge you, Kurozumi Orochi, as the rightful king of Wano Country!"

"Once the Celestial Dragons acknowledge your identity, even if that idiot dancing naked below is incredibly powerful, he won't be able to dethrone you. If they did, it would be treason..."

"At that time, the World Government will dispatch warships to defend your, Kurozumi Orochi's, and the entire Kurozumi family's legitimate status! If necessary, the government will send a Marine Admiral to help you stabilize the country's regime! Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and even Kong will all be at your command..."

"A person shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. Think about it carefully. Can you really live a carefree life by relying on Kaido alone? Your confidence comes entirely from Kaido. So what will you do if Kaido rebels one day? Wait to die?"

Crocodile used both threats and inducements against the giant snake.

Upon hearing this, a ruthless glint flashed in Orochi's eyes. Clearly, he had taken Crocodile's words to heart. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead...

As Crocodile said, all his current confidence rests on Kaido! But if Kaido decides to stop playing with him, his entire force will collapse.

"Hehehe, don't even think about trying to sow discord between me and Kaido!"

After a long while, the giant snake suddenly seemed to understand something and sneered at Crocodile.

"It seems you've made your choice..."

Crocodile, upon hearing this, didn't hesitate and immediately got up to leave.

"and many more!"

Just as Crocodile was about to leave, Orochi suddenly couldn't sit still and shouted loudly at Crocodile's back.

"Well! The arms deal isn't something we can't discuss..."

It must be said, Orochi's bloodline is indeed pure; he's inherited that "tsundere" tradition perfectly! Before Crocodile could leave, he called out to the other person…

"Haha~"

Crocodile sneered at this, looking down at Orochi, and said coldly, "Name your price!"

How much money are you willing to pay?

The giant snake looked at Crocodile and asked.

"..." Crocodile, upon hearing this, held up one finger and whispered, "Ten thousand Berries!"

"One weapon, ten thousand Berries?"

Upon hearing this, the giant snake's ugly face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"One ton of weapons, ten thousand Berries!"

Crocodile laughed at this.

"Do you think the weapons produced in Wano Country are just scrap metal?"

Upon hearing this, the giant snake turned green and roared in anger.

"You've misunderstood! I mean, the weapons of your Wano Country are worse than scrap metal!"

"Your rudimentary factory, its production line, and the weapons it produces are no different from dog shit in my eyes!"

"The weapons our world government buys from you are all to be broken down into raw materials and then reprocessed..."

Crocodile responded coldly.

"This price is absolutely unacceptable!"

The giant snake refused outright.

"Goodbye."

Crocodile didn't tolerate Orochi and got up to leave.

"Wait, 100,000 Berries! 100,000, that's a ton

Just as Crocodile was about to leave, Orochi called out to him once again.

"too much!"

Crocodile shook his head at the giant snake.

"fifty thousand?"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Thirty thousand?"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand? That's the lowest we can go! We also have costs to cover!"

The giant serpent, its face ashen, addressed Crocodile.

"Deal~"

Crocodile responded with a smile.

In fact, the price offered by the world government was much higher than that...

As for the extra money, Crocodile could naturally keep it.

It's better to benefit your own people than others, right?

"Oden is dead! I'll definitely raise the price!"

The giant serpent's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Crocodile, his heart burning with rage.

"Ha ha……"

Crocodile didn't care about the enraged snake. After returning to his house, he took out a Den Den Mushi and whispered, "Flamingo, Griffin, my mission is complete. Now it's your turn~"

"You've worked hard, Crocodile!"

Chapter 34 Char: I don't need prisons, I'm only responsible for sending them to hell.

Just as Char, Doflamingo, and Crocodile were secretly beginning their plan to devour the world...

A man who was once hailed as one of the three legends alongside Roger and Whitebeard!

He was once a legendary sea lord alongside Edward Newgate, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido of the Beasts, and a member of the Rocks Pirates!

The man who nearly defeated the Roger Pirates and became the sole ruler of the seas at the Battle of Edd Wars finally took action...

"I'm sorry, Roger..."

"I'm breaking my promise!"

"I simply cannot tolerate the fact that after your death, your body will be kept in the hands of the World Government and you will not be able to rest in peace!"

"Let me be willful one last time, right at the very end..."

The man's name is Shiki the Golden Lion, and he is the admiral of the Flying Pirates.

Months ago, after Roger was 'defeated' by Garp and imprisoned in Impel Down, and the World Government announced that Roger would be publicly executed in his hometown, Shiki the Golden Lion had already prepared to go to Impel Down or the Marine Headquarters Mary Geoise to break him out!

Shiki couldn't believe that a man like Roger could be defeated by mere Marines...

If Roger had joined forces with him, they could have conquered the whole world!

However, on the very night Shiki was about to take action, amidst a torrential downpour, he received a communication from the 'Pirate King' Roger...

"a ha ha ha……"

"Shiki! Long time no see! It's a real shame I couldn't see you one last time before I die, you bastard..."

"But who told you, you bastard, to always be floating in the sky?! Ordinary humans can't grow wings like birds and fly to tens of thousands of meters in the air!"

Shiki couldn't be mistaken; the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi was undoubtedly Roger's.

"The end of life? Roger, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"How could a man like you be defeated by a mere navy officer?"

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm going to get you out of prison right now!"

"This time, you must join forces with me. Together, we will dominate this world!"

Shiki gripped the Den Den Mushi and roared furiously.

"Ah ha ha……"

"Actually, I have a terminal illness! Shiki..."

"The doctor said my life is coming to an end!"

"At the end of my life, I want to do something important!"
