After all, as long as Crocodile knew about the conversation just now, and let him know that the navy in front of him also knew that I knew ancient characters and wanted to learn...
Well, would this clever fellow be able to guess the real purpose of the Shichibukai who took in the Devil's Son and stayed in Alabasta?
do not know.
However, from what she knew about Crocodile, he would definitely wipe out the enemy completely.
313. Pirate Qiao Qiao: Are you surprised to see others transform into elements? Crocodile
"Welcome, Miss Wednesday, and a Marine Colonel."
Crocodile was sitting on the sofa, puffing smoke. His malicious gaze, like a crocodile, made Vivi's face turn pale.
"Wednesday, no, Princess Weiwei, I thought you would be smarter since you could investigate my identity. But you ended up hanging out with this marine and even brought yourself to me. Hahahaha..."
Amidst her hoarse laughter, Weiwei clenched her fists.
"Uncle, lend me some courage... If it were just me, I would definitely lack the courage..."
It was possible to stand up straight in front of him. Because Weiwei pulled Qiao Qiao's arm tightly, and her slightly developed body was almost completely pressed against him.
"Crocodile, your ambition, your conspiracy. It was you who used the dancing powder to prevent rain from falling in most parts of Alabasta, it was you who kept sending your subordinates to cause trouble, it was you who kept providing weapons to Kosa and the others..."
Vivi followed Qiao Qiao, and Qiao Qiao didn't mind telling Vivi what he already knew about the Alabasta plot, of course, he told the girl based on his guesses.
"You've managed to get this far, you're worthy of being an excellent employee of my company."
Crocodile was amazed by this situation, but his eyes fell from Vivi to Qiao Qiao and he said, "Such an excellent Miss Wednesday admires you very much. As the only excellent employee of my company who can independently investigate my identity, you brought a marine, which proves that your ability is recognized. However, I don't know if this naive princess knows your identity as a marine, no, a pirate."
Robin cooperated and took out two bounty tickets and placed them on the table.
"Pirates?" It was the first time that Vivi heard of such a thing.
She knew that Qiao Qiao was a navy officer who changed his career halfway, but when she saw the photo on the wanted poster that was clearly of Qiao Qiao and Yamato, she was completely stunned.
The three major forces at sea, the pirates of the Four Emperors Pirate Group besides the Seven Warlords of the Sea 343 and the Navy...
For a moment, Weiwei actually felt a little dizzy.
"Huh? Why are you all focusing on this?" Qiao Qiao touched his chin and sat down on the edge of the sofa unceremoniously.
"I think this is very interesting. You are a pirate who defected from the Four Emperors Kaido's Beasts. You probably infiltrated the navy because you were afraid of being hunted down by the Beasts, and used the intelligence of a certain Four Emperor. Hahaha."
Crocodile's thoughts are quite pirate-like, saying: "Why would a pirate escort a princess? What did the princess promise to you, a pirate, to send her here from afar... to die."
"Good question. The princess paid me a reward. No, she promised me a big favor. She promised to give me some domestic mineral mining rights." Qiao Qiao smiled and said to Robin who was watching from the side, "The guest is sitting here. Would you like to help prepare some tea?"
"..."
"..."
This leisurely and contented look made Crocodile quite unhappy: another pirate who didn't know his place.
"The mining rights of some desert minerals? That's stupid. How can a princess decide on such rights?"
"really."
When Qiao Qiao nodded.
Weiwei's face froze, and she became more and more panicked. She said, "I can discuss it with my father! It's definitely not..."
"You are kidding! How dare a mere princess promise land to a pirate? There are countless kings in this sea, and even more princesses and princes..."
Crocodile blew out a smoke ring while speaking, and said: "The so-called princess is just a cheap commodity with a title. She has no power. If the price is right, the king will even sell the princess to the Celestial Dragons."
What Crocodile said was not nonsense. He had seen all kinds of monsters and demons in this sea.
"really."
Seeing Qiao Qiao still nodded, Wei Wei was so anxious that she grabbed Qiao Qiao's clothes and tugged at them, saying, "Uncle!"
Although she was used to the uncle speaking in such a completely impolite manner, Weiwei still felt particularly uncomfortable hearing it with her own ears.
Qiao Qiao looked at Crocodile with interest to see what he meant.
"But, you're still talking about wealth and profit, you're a pirate after all. How foolish! You're going to become my enemy just because of a bad promise. Or, what do you want to gain by sending her to me?"
Crocodile suddenly burst into laughter.
After hearing this, Vivi finally understood how malicious Crocodile's intentions were and how he was actually trying to sow discord between them.
But Weiwei couldn't refute.
Even because of Crocodile's words, the look he gave Qiao Qiao was filled with a bit of fear.
"Uncle, no, you are not really deceiving me all the time, and your purpose is to send me to Crocodile in exchange for reward..."
In fact, Vivi was no stranger to this kind of method. After all, Vivi had done this kind of bounty hunter-like activity countless times in real life... Even her original gangster outfit was the result of her research on how to make pirates let down their guard.
Looking back at herself recently, Weiwei really doesn't seem to be very wary of Qiao Qiao and Yamato.
"According to what you said, how much can a princess get in return?"
"..." Weiwei had a question mark on her head at this time.
"Guhahahaha, you are indeed a pirate. Compared to the princess's foolish promise, the immediate benefits are more realistic."
When Crocodile said this, sweat kept oozing out of Vivi's forehead.
Just as she said before, borrowing courage from Qiao Qiao and Yamato gave Vivi the confidence to stand face to face with Crocodile.
Just as Crocodile said, Vivi also understood that the reason Qiao Qiao helped her at the beginning was out of self-interest.
think carefully……
All the help and promises are built on "interests", and interests tie people to a chariot.
However, as Crocodile said, "the benefits have not yet been realized," and under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible to realize them.
Even though Vivi, who knew her family well, was 60% sure that her father could agree, she could not resist feeling powerless in front of Crocodile.
So, faced with a "benefit" that seems like a castle in the air...normal people are more focused on the immediate benefits that can be obtained...
……
Weiwei tensed up.
Qiao Qiao watched with a smile to see what tricks Crocodile was up to.
In Crocodile's opinion...
A big colonel wants to talk to me about money? Not worthy.
It would be fine if he was just escorting the princess, but it was obvious that this guy, who was originally a pirate, had already learned about his plan to steal the country from Vivi.
Although he certainly doesn't know that Crocodile's real target is Pluto.
However, even so, this pirate-turned-marine is still a huge disadvantage.
After all, Crocodile knew that if the other party threatened not to give money and let the navy know, then this wild dog would not just bite once.
So, just as Robin expected, Crocodile has decided to wipe out the roots.
"A naive man who believes in fairy tales and dreams of getting wealth from the king. He probably thinks he can marry a princess and become a prince... a third-rate pirate."
In Crocodile's eyes, Qiao Qiao is still young.
"And the princess who I thought was an excellent employee ended up finding a loser who escaped from the Beasts Pirates as her backer, and she returned to her country arrogantly, and even came to me."
Crocodile swept past Vivi.
"You two are so stupid! But what you don't understand is that as a pirate... the prerequisite for getting good things is to be alive, young man."
Crocodile was also so naive once, and that naivety made him pay the price. Now, Crocodile is going to make this blind pirate and princess pay the price!
"Desert Diamond Sword."
The arm turned into a sand blade and was suddenly released, slicing the body of the person in front of him like a swordsman's blade.
Crocodile originally wanted to kill the couple with one blow of his sword, but Qiao Qiao pushed Weiwei away and blocked the blade alone.
"Uncle!"
"Stupid." Crocodile laughed, but he just felt that the feeling of the just-cut was not right.
“There was no real sense of being hit…”
Then, when he saw the Marine's broken body floating in the air, Crocodile could no longer laugh, and his whole face suddenly became gloomy.
"Elementalization? Did you eat a nature fruit?"
"Heh, I realized it quite late. I found out that you are not the only one who is proud of your natural element. Are you surprised to see others transform into elements? Crocodile."
With only the upper body left floating in the air, Qiao Qiao turned into lightning and fell in front of Crocodile.
"So fast!" Even Crocodile was surprised by the speed.
The fastest fruit ability I have ever seen is Kizaru's Pika Pika Nomi, and the fruit ability of the person in front of me is no less fast.
The Thunder Fruit has always been on Sky Island. This is the first time it has appeared on this land in this generation.
The oppressive force that Eneel, who possesses the Thunder Fruit, can create is even greater in Qiao Qiao's hands.
Stretch out your finger.
The powerful "crackling" electricity directly blew Crocodile's head into sand, and then Crocodile's body suddenly turned into sand and condensed farther away.
But he looked quite disheveled, with his coat and body visibly burnt.
Although elementalization seems to be immune to damage except for Haki, in fact, the conflict between elementalizations cannot be completely harmless, otherwise Aokiji would not have lost a leg and Akainu would not have been left with a scar.
"Although we are both elementalized, there are still differences between elementalizations. Judging from the degree of burnt black on your body, you probably were not able to use your observation Haki to dodge my attack in advance." Qiao Qiao said.
The charred black color on Crocodile's body shows that his elementalization was still slow.
No, it’s not so much that it’s slow, it’s more that Qiao Qiao’s speed is too fast, leaving no chance for him to dodge, and he can only rely on elementalization to withstand it.
"..." Crocodile, who had developed his abilities to the extreme and awakened the Sand-Sand Fruit to the ability to turn everything into sand, was annoyed when he heard someone comment like this.
314. Pirate Qiao Qiao: How did I suddenly become Alabasta's son-in-law?
"It was electricity just now. Are you the electric man who ate the Electric-Den Fruit?"
"To be precise, it's the Thunder Fruit. It controls atmospheric lightning and magnetic fields." Qiao Qiao's elemental body began to recover.
However, Qiao Qiao always felt that it was because his body was too complicated.
The Thunder Fruit was not able to allow Qiao Qiao to transform into an element at will, and it was also difficult to completely transform his body structure into a Thunder Man, which made Qiao Qiao feel that his recovery speed from elementalization was not as fast as that of lightning.
On the contrary, the weaker the body, the easier it is to be affected by the devil fruit, and even when attacked, it can transform into elements independently and heal quickly.
Therefore, Qiao Qiao's elemental transformation was autonomous, and he used his observation Haki to dodge the attack. Of course, Qiao Qiao believed that his body was strong and solid, and the knife attack just now would only tear his clothes.
So, Qiao Qiao did it on purpose for Crocodile to see.
After seeing this, Crocodile finally realized that the guy in front of him might be quite troublesome, and not the guy he thought he could manipulate at will.
This guy defected from the Beast Corps and was put on the bounty list. Is it because of his strength?
However, Kaido has such powerful subordinates, but they do not appear on the navy’s bounty order. What’s going on with this guy?
……
Meanwhile, Robin, who was standing at the side, also realized that the marine whom he had looked down upon turned out to be a tough guy even for his boss.
She had never seen Crocodile so vigilant before. After all, Crocodile usually treated pirates in a crushing manner.
"My casualness is not recklessness, but a result of my knowing my own strength... Twelve-wheel Flower..."
As soon as Robin used her ability, she felt a burning pain like an electric shock. She found that she couldn't even grow her arms on the other person's body.
"A small punishment is a big lesson. After all, I still need to learn ancient writing from you, Nico Robin."
"..." Crocodile looked back at Robin and said immediately: "Boy, you know it very well."
"I know better."
When Qiao Qiao said this, combined with some of the things he had done, Crocodile finally realized that the smell he smelled on Qiao Qiao was that he had the same great ambition as himself, and finally he sketched out the image of this guy in his mind - "It turns out that this guy is also an ambitious person."
Mineral property rights are wealth.
Leaving pirates and joining the navy is just legalizing your identity.
This routine is completely familiar.
