One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Crocodile answered confidently.

"You know what? My initial plan was to challenge that old man, Whitebeard..."

"If Char and Doflamingo hadn't stopped me, Whitebeard's head would already be hanging on the door of our basement! Hahaha..."

Crocodile laughed.

Crocodile's words at that moment were filled with confidence...

"I think we should still inform Char..."

After a moment of silence, Eurythias spoke thus.

"No need! Xia is in seclusion right now, don't disturb him..."

"When I defeat Kaido, it will be a surprise for him!"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile immediately stopped Olvia, his eyes sharp.

"Uh, okay..."

When Olbia heard that Xia was in seclusion, she was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

By the way, Xia is currently in seclusion, so it's really not a good time to disturb him.

“Crocodile, Kaido is a monster…” Olvia looked at Crocodile, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and asked, “Will you win?”

"Don't worry! We'll win..."

Crocodile smiled confidently and strode outside.

Crocodile was full of confidence in his strength...

At the same time, Crocodile believed that if Kozuki Oden were a normal person, he would not refuse Crocodile's request! To be precise, Kozuki Oden had no reason to refuse him.

Any normal person would know who to believe between him and Kaido.

Unfortunately, Crocodile miscalculated one thing...

That is, Kozuki Oden wasn't a normal person; he was a complete idiot.

So...

The next day...

The country of Wano, Queen of Bells.

This is where Moria and Kaido once fought...

Even now, traces of the battle between Moria's pirate crew and Kaido can still be found here.

"call……"

Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, looked ready to avenge Moria.

Crocodile believed that once he defeated Kaido, that idiot Moria would become his most loyal subordinate ever.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh..."

"Kid! You're the one who wants to challenge me?"

Kaido, carrying his spiked club, looked at Crocodile in front of him and asked.

"It's not a challenge, it's a complete expulsion..."

Crocodile looked at Kaido and spoke confidently.

"Just you alone?"

Kaido glared at Crocodile and roared angrily.

"Who said I'm the only one?"

Crocodile's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this.

"Plop, plop, plop..."

Just as Crocodile finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of wooden clogs scraping against the ground, Kozuki Oden, with a katana at his waist, strode towards Crocodile and Kaido.

"Oden!"

When Kaido saw Oden, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

Kozuki Oden was, after all, a man who had served on the ships of both the Pirate King Roger and Whitebeard Newgate, so his strength was unfathomable...

This made Kaido both wary and incredibly excited, eager to fight him.

“That’s right! Oden and I alone are enough to drive Kaido’s Beasts Pirates out of this country…”

Crocodile looked at Kaido and sneered.

"I'm sorry, Crocodile..."

"I've already promised Kaido and Orochi that I'll dance naked under Orochi's building for five years! While I'm grateful to you, I don't intend to cooperate with you!"

"As for Kaido and Orochi, after I finish my naked dance, I will find a way to defeat them and drive them out of Wano Country without leaving a single one alive!"

"As for what you said about Wano Country opening its borders! It's too early now, I can't agree to that. Now is not a good time for Wano Country to open its borders..."

Oden walked up to Crocodile, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice.

"No! I've already released the hostages that Kaido and Orochi captured! Now, if you join forces with me, you can defeat these evil guys. What are you hesitating for? Are you out of your mind?"

Crocodile was nearly driven mad with anger after hearing Oden's words, and he cursed at Oden.

"I'm sorry! This is a man's promise..."

"As a samurai, as a man, I must keep my promises, no matter the reason! So I'm sorry."

After bowing to Crocodile, Oden gave Kaido a deep look.

Oden drew his katana, pointed it at Kaido, and roared, "I will do everything I promised you! Stop with these petty tricks. When the time comes, it will be our final battle. Whether it's you or Orochi, I, Kozuki Oden, will defeat you with my own hands! Wano Country does not welcome you..."

After Oden finished speaking, he sheathed his katana back into its scabbard at his waist. Feeling that he had done the job perfectly, he strode away.

"Doesn't this idiot think he's handsome?"

Crocodile stared in shock at Oden's retreating figure, and roared angrily.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh..."

“Kid, it seems your ally has abandoned you…”

"Can you still be as arrogant as you were just now, saying you want to kick me out?"

Kaido gripped his spiked club, pointed it at Crocodile, and roared angrily.

"Damn it! Who do you think I am? I'm Crocodile..."

At this moment, Crocodile had only one thought in his mind: "You idiot Oden, you deserve to be fooled. Did you grow your brain on your small intestine?"

As expected, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful! Oden deserved to be played by Kaido and Orochi; he brought it upon himself, and he truly couldn't live with it.

"Even without the dim-witted Oden!"

"I, Crocodile, am invincible in Wano Country..."

Crocodile roared and transformed into a raging sandstorm.

"Hahaha, well done! Thunderous Eight Trigrams..."

Kaido looked at Crocodile, who was heading straight for him, and first laughed loudly. Then he raised his spiked club high, and lightning immediately wrapped around the club.

"boom!!"

That day, thunder roared across the sky!

"puff……"

That day, Crocodile's blood stained the bell.

If God gave Crocodile another chance, he would never cooperate with Oden!

If fate were to give Crocodile another chance, when Nico Olvia looked at him and asked if he could defeat Kaido, he would surely smile and reply, "Don't worry! You'll lose!"

And so, the next day...

Wano Country's Udon, the prisoner mine! I've been selected as one of the earliest trainees...

Crocodile, dressed in prison garb, lay in his cell, staring at the mine shaft above him, thinking to himself, "This time, I've really lost face! Kaido, I, Crocodile, will remember this grudge..."

Meanwhile, Holy Land Marie Gioia.

"Is Crocodile an idiot?"

"Cooperating with Kozuki Oden? He actually came up with that idea..."

"What respectable person would collaborate with someone who writes a diary?"

Char was shocked by Crocodile's actions.

If Oden were a normal person, then Crocodile's move would have been perfectly reasonable.

But was Oden a normal person?

If Oden were a normal person, he would have said that to Rayleigh and Jabba before disembarking, and then led the Roger Pirates towards Wano Country...

The next day, Kaido fled with the Beasts Pirates.
