Zongman: Simultaneously travel through time and start a one-person chat group

So, here two choices appeared in Crocodile's mind.

One choice is him. Crocodile fights hard with this tough guy hired by the princess to decide the outcome of a life-and-death battle.

Given what his opponent had just done, Crocodile felt it was a tough situation, but he didn't think he would lose.

The other option is...

Crocodile thought about it and asked tentatively: "You want money. I can give it to you. Become my subordinate."

"Subordinates? Why do you think I'm not in the Beast?"

"Ha, as expected. Then..." Crocodile realized that this was a guy who had grown stronger and separated from the beasts on his own.

"Join forces."

Crocodile is not opposed to joining forces with others.

Of course, the person you want to join forces with must be valuable enough. The natural ability user in front of him does give him enough value to join forces with Crocodile.

This unexpected answer stunned Qiao Qiao and even Weiwei.

"Oh?" Qiao Qiao smiled curiously and said, "Pirate, what benefit can you give me?"

"Since you want mineral rights, Miss Sunday, a map."

Robin understood and used the Twelve-Wheel Flower to take out a map of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Looking at the map, Alabasta is a large island with a vast area.

Crocodile pointed at the map with the golden hook in his hand and said, "See this vast land? The mining rights of these places can be given to you. From the remotest borders to the most developed cities..."

Crocodile's voice was filled with irrefutable heroic aura, and as he spoke, it seemed as if he regarded the entire Alabasta as his own property.

Qiao Qiao was still a little slow to react. Weiwei's pupils trembled violently and she said, "You, you really... this country is not yours!"

"No? It will be in a few days. When the plan starts, Alabasta will disappear and be reborn as a paradise for pirates. How can it not be mine?"

Although Crocodile's real target is Pluto, he can also take this country as well.

Moreover, only by saying it bigger in this place can a pirate with natural ability be impressed. And seeing Qiao Qiao's smiling face.

"Humph, do you still believe that the princess's promise can really be fulfilled?"

Crocodile glanced at Vivi, who was feeling a little uneasy, with disdain.

Qiao Qiao also took a look.

"Indeed, it is unlikely according to common sense."

Qiao Qiao knew that if it were any other princess, their words would not count, but Weiwei's family was definitely an exception.

The king of Alabasta is incompetent, but everything else is fine. In the plot, Vivi actually has the ability to handle the country, and it is certain that she will ascend the throne as queen in the future, because only in this way can she better help the Straw Hats.

"You said the princess's promises can't be trusted, so how can I trust you?"

"Then you can also choose to fight to the death with the Seven Warlords of the Sea here."

Crocodile raised his hook as a threat.

After all, the benefits gained from a little princess and the possible consequences of fighting with him, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, should be the one that is more beneficial to him.

However, Crocodile would never have imagined that in Qiao Qiao's eyes, even the titles of the Four Emperors and the Five Elders were of no use, and even... Crocodile's strength was not taken seriously.

However, this does not prevent outsiders from seeing...

Crocodile felt that this ambitious man who came for wealth would definitely make a good choice.

What's more, Robin also thinks so. After all, when two countries are at war, it is okay to kill soldiers, but when it comes to the turn of the king and nobles, they should talk about ceding land.

After hearing these words, Weiwei was probably the most desperate. She felt as if all the strength in her body was drained away in one breath.

……

Weiwei was silent.

After starting to doubt herself for having lost the only support she had on her way back, Weiwei's worldview began to collapse.

She is the princess of Alabasta. She had the courage to infiltrate the work agency for so many years and even became a member of the senior management. Naturally, she understands what choice anyone will make when faced with the conditions and threats posed by Crocodile.

"In order to form an alliance with Qiao Qiao, he actually..." Weiwei clenched her fists.

However, it was only after seeing with her own eyes the abilities displayed by Qiao Qiao and Yamato that Vivi realized that this deal with Crocodile was absolutely worthwhile.

If Qiao Qiao can be persuaded to rebel, then Yamato...

Weiwei knew in her heart that although Yamato was carefree and had a very good relationship with her...

If Qiao Qiao was turned against the enemy, Yamato would definitely follow Qiao Qiao to the end, just like a loyal follower who appears beside some bad guys.

Vivi just looked at Qiao Qiao who was looking at the map of Alabasta as if he was examining something, and the tension and fear in her heart gradually reached its peak.

Qiao Qiao's teachings flashed through his mind countless times, and the image of him as a mentor became somewhat distorted and gloomy under the test of interests.

The mentor who taught me so many things...

For some other reason, Weiwei, who pursed her lips, felt an inexplicable pain in her chest. When she thought about Qiao Qiao becoming an enemy, no, just thinking about Qiao Qiao betraying her for the sake of profit, it was as if a large piece of her heart was dug out.

……

While the princess's thoughts became more and more confused, Crocodile continued to increase the "benefits".

“There’s actually a lot more to it than just mineral rights.”

To make an analogy, if the current Alabasta is compared to a commodity, then Vivi and Crocodile are competitors on both sides.

Weiwei took it very seriously but found that the chips in her hand were gone.

But Crocodile continued to raise the price, making the price of Alabasta infinitely higher.

Once, twice...

0 ·······Request flowers· ····

Until Weiwei felt that there was no way to win.

However, Vivi didn't know that Crocodile wanted to get this country in order to obtain Pluto.

Therefore, Crocodile should delay until the big battle, and then when he finds Pluto, he can directly threaten and blow him into pieces.

Crocodile can now promise large tracts of country, and repeatedly throws out heavy chips that Weiwei would never give. When the time comes to pay, it depends on whether Qiao Qiao is alive to get it.

……

Crocodile's smile became more and more wanton.

Because the more desperate the princess was, the more Crocodile felt that Qiao Qiao was just a profit-seeking businessman and an ambitious person.

"That's right. The reason why Uncle helped me was out of interest. It's only natural that he changed his position now because of the interest... Why did I foolishly think that Uncle must be in the same boat with me?"

Only by experiencing wind and waves can a large ship find out whether it can cross the sea.

Well, now Weiwei found herself particularly confused in the predicament of not seeming to be on the boat.

In the original novel, Weiwei once said, "What else can I bet on?"

She felt that when facing the sand crocodile, she had nothing and had no power to fight against the mastermind behind the scenes.

At that time, the Straw Hat Pirates were willing to risk their lives, and Vivi believed that Luffy was willing to sacrifice his own and his companions' lives and made up her mind.

... ..... .......

And now Weiwei only has Qiao Qiao and Yamato...

"What else can I bet on? But I only have myself..." When Weiwei said this in a voice that only she could hear, she couldn't control the strength in her hands and blood kept oozing out of her palms.

After all, Vivi knew that she didn't have the same bond as the uncle and Yamato. The uncle recruited her because of benefits... unless she had greater benefits.

"Bond, bond?" Weiwei suddenly thought of something. She suddenly looked at Qiao Qiao's profile quietly and thought about something.

When Crocodile gave another chip, it was the last grain of sand that overwhelmed Vivi and made her decision.

……

"Bond!"

"Bond?" Qiao Qiao turned around and looked at Weiwei who had a nervous look on her face, and found it funny for a moment.

In fact, no matter what price Crocodile offers, Qiao Qiao will choose to help the kind princess in the end.

After all, if it was a character that was hated in the original work, Qiao Qiao would never help. Otherwise, Hiyori of Wano Country would not have stayed in a courtyard waiting for the twenty years that her mother claimed.

Everything Qiao Qiao does is to satisfy himself first, and then to profit.

It is impossible to just hold your nose and keep silent just for the sake of profit.

"…You're nervous."

When Qiao Qiao put his hand on Weiwei's tense head and touched it, Weiwei trembled all over, and then... she suddenly grabbed Qiao Qiao's arm.

At the same time, Weiwei looked at Crocodile with a determined look and said, "It's useless no matter how many weights you add! Crocodile!"

"Hmph, little girl, are you still resisting? Can you offer better conditions than mine?" Crocodile smiled, and was also curious about what the girl's confidence was in the end.

"Of course! I am his woman, the only surviving descendant of the royal family of Alabasta in this country, so uncle will become the king of Alabasta in the future! The entire country will be handed over to uncle."

When Vivi yelled at Crocodile, it was as if she was venting all the depression that had just accumulated.

Weiwei showed the side of herself that she had developed as a little gangster during her long period of undercover work, put her arm around Qiao Qiao's arm, and declared her sovereignty with a kiss on the cheek.

"I have nothing to bet on, so I bet on myself. I believe in you, uncle. I believe that the uncle who can teach me how to make people happier can definitely make Alabasta more prosperous."

"Ah???" Qiao Qiao couldn't understand what kind of inner struggle Vivi had just experienced without using both hands, and he didn't know how he suddenly became the son-in-law of Alabasta.

At least in his plan, he was prepared to see how Crocodile behaved and then deal with him.

But now Weiwei's unexpected plan has changed everything.

315. Pirate Qiao Qiao: Crocodile feels that he is being used

"I have nothing to bet on, so I bet on myself. I believe in you, and I believe that the uncle who can teach me how to make people happier will definitely make Alabasta more prosperous."

"..."

"..."

Qiao Qiao and Crocodile looked at each other.

"So this is the plan..." Crocodile's face became increasingly gloomy. Only now did he suddenly realize that he might have been used.

I'm afraid that because of my contempt and escalation towards Wei Wei, the other party didn't agree for a long time.

The pressure during this period broke the princess's mental barriers, and she even gambled on herself in order to grasp the only straw before drowning...

If you think about it carefully, Vivi is the only daughter of King Cobra and the heir to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Generally speaking, when faced with a situation where there is a princess but no prince, Alabasta is likely to hand the inheritance over to the descendants of other brothers to ensure the orthodoxy of their bloodline.

However, the unfortunate thing is that this is the only branch of the Alabasta royal family left in this generation, so there is only one possibility left...

Weiwei will inherit the throne and become the queen.

Under such circumstances, the Queen would naturally unilaterally require the man to marry into the family after three, five, or seven years of marriage. However, Weiwei, who was now forced into a desperate situation by him, said...

If she wants to marry him and is willing to give up the throne of empress, then the dowry will be the entire country.

Maybe she will regret it at that time... However, Crocodile knew that if a guy could scheme against such a girl, he would naturally know how to prevent the girl from regretting it.

What's more, according to Sunday's survey, this Wednesday is still a dead end.

"Damn guy..."

Crocodile had already thought of this operation.

We have a princess and a country, it is all legitimate and legal, and even the world government cannot interfere.

As for the fear that the wait to become king would be too long...

As an ambitious person, the other party could naturally expect the king's father-in-law to suddenly die at any time, with twenty-eight stab wounds in the back, which would be diagnosed as suicide.

……

Good trick!

Crocodile, as an ambitious man, was admiring his companions, but when he saw the princess hugging Qiao Qiao tightly, he became more and more angry.

To say that stealing a country is not tiring is a joke.
