Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Mihawk hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, a very beautiful photograph appeared in Ian's hand.

“Mihawk, look.”

Ian waved the harpy portrait in his hand, seemingly extending an invitation sincerely.

"The crocodile is 'sand,' and you are 'eagle.' When you two are combined, you become a 'desert eagle'!"

"What a wonderful name! It sounds incredibly powerful."

Mihawk didn't want to talk.

He simply reached out and touched the hilt of the Black Blade Night behind him.

He now wants to fulfill his previous promise—

Slay the White Dragon!

And at this time.

Crocodile, who had just been looking furious, was the first to calm down.

Since things had come to this point, and he couldn't immediately get out of this awkward situation, he could only consider more practical issues.

Although Bai Long is a complete scoundrel, he is indeed extremely powerful...

Hawkeye goes without saying; he certainly deserves the title of the world's greatest swordsman...

If there were an organization that absorbed both White Dragon and Hawkeye...

Crocodile suddenly realized that he didn't seem to need to search for any Ancient Weapons to obtain power comparable to that of a Yonko!

Chapter 177 The Cross Guild is officially established! The inside story of the God Valley Incident!

"Hawkeye!"

Crocodile looked at Mihawk and said in a deep voice.

"Although Bailong is a bastard, what he said makes a lot of sense..."

"As long as the three of us put our names together, we will become a powerful organization that the whole world cannot ignore."

"Sand crocodile".

Mihawk stopped drawing his sword and calmly looked at Crocodile.

“I know you. You never trust others, and neither do I.”

"I can't trust either you or Bai Long."

"but……"

Crocodile let out a soft laugh.

Doesn't this prove that we happen to be 'the same kind'?

"Since they are 'pirates,' they should naturally 'group together like birds of a feather'!"

"As for the White Dragon..."

Crocodile looked at Ian and raised his crocodile claws again.

"Weren't you also under his control? You should have experienced this guy's strength firsthand, right?"

Mihawk fell silent.

"Gentlemen, I once said this to someone else, and now I'll tell you about it."

Ian spoke up at the opportune moment.

"The so-called 'pirates' can act together as long as their interests align."

"Although the three of us are all 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'."

"But from an outsider's perspective, we are just pirates."

"Since we are pirates, our 'fundamental interests' are aligned."

"From this point of view, we already have a basis for cooperation, don't we?"

Crocodile nodded in agreement.

Mihawk remained silent for a while before finally speaking.

"The World Government would not want to see three Shichibukai (warlords of the sea) together!"

"When has Hawkeye ever cared about the opinions of the World Government?"

Ian gave a sarcastic laugh, and then he continued.

"Besides, why should the World Government know about our alliance?"

"If the three of us know, then we'll know."

"Furthermore, we're forming an organization, not a pirate crew; it's just a loose alliance."

Ian has put his words to this point.

Mihawk had no reason to refuse.

Although he still distrusts the White Dragon and the Sand Crocodile.

But adults only look at their own interests.

As Crocodile just said.

The mere fact that these three were Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea) together was enough to shock the entire ocean.

From this perspective, joining this loose alliance wouldn't be a loss...

Mihawk looked at Ian and extended his right hand.

"photo!"

Ian raised an eyebrow and tossed a thick stack of photos of "harpies" to Mihawk.

Seeing this transaction, Crocodile couldn't sit still any longer.

"Where are my photos? You two bastards!"

Mihawk said nothing, but simply showed all the photos of the "desert crocodile" he had just taken.

Ian is the same.

"Sand Crocodile, destroy them! Just in case, use your abilities."

Mihawk looked at Crocodile and gave him a direct reminder.

"It's 'erosion of reincarnation'!"

"Hey Hey hey……"

Several black lines appeared on Ian's forehead.

"Destroying a few photos using the cycle of erosion? Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"

But obviously.

Crocodile did not think it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

He unleashed the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit, completely destroying the stacks of photos of the "Harpie" and the "Desert Crocodile," leaving not a trace.

"In that case, our organization can be considered established!"

Ian spoke first.

"What should we call our organization? How about 'The Gale Guard Legion'?"

"It sounds awful!"

Crocodile refused outright, glancing at Mihawk, his gaze lingering for a moment on the cross-shaped Black Blade Night.

"How about calling it the 'Cross Guild'!"

Cross Guild?

Ian's lips twitched.

Old Sand, Eagle, and me?

So who am I?

Ian resolutely refused.

"No way! This name is too ordinary! And it doesn't have any imposing presence at all!"

Mihawk didn't have any ideas at first.

However, seeing that Bai Long was so unequivocally opposed, he immediately cast a vote in favor.

"I agree! Cross Guild, a very good name!"

Two against one.

invalid objection.

The Cross Guild was officially established.

……

The Cross Guild.

Ian never expected that, even though it was several years ahead of schedule, the "Cross Guild" would still be born.

Despite the fact that the future "Cross Guild" is powerful and numerous, and is recognized by the sea as the new pirate emperor.

But when I think about the inside story of the formation of that "Cross Guild" and its leaders...

Ian inexplicably felt that the name "Cross Guild" was very ominous.

But the more he opposed it, the more he did.

Hawkeye and Sand Crocodile were increasingly in favor of it.

The name of the Cross Guild was officially established.

Even though the organization currently has only three members, there is basically no binding force within the organization.

However, the mere mention of the names White Dragon, Hawkeye, and Sand Crocodile together is enough to demonstrate the prestige of the "Cross Guild."

"White Dragon!"

Crocodile stared at Ian and said in a harsh tone.

"Quickly dispel your damn ability!"

Out of consideration for everyone working together, Ian decided to deactivate his Clay-Clay Fruit ability.

Crocodile instantly shed his previous terrifying image as the "desert banana crocodile" and transformed back into the villainous gang leader with slicked-back hair and a thick cigar.

The Cross Guild has just been established.

There were virtually no rules, regulations, or organizational goals to speak of.

Whether it's Ian, the initiator, Mihawk, or Crocodile, they all currently only see the "Cross Guild" as an organizational platform for contacting other Shichibukai.

For now.

The greatest significance of the Cross Guild should be "distinguishing between friend and foe".

This does roughly match the name "Cross Church"...

As for the future.

Whether the Cross Guild can grow and become a major force remains to be seen.

It all depends on the future situation at sea...

Ian temporarily put aside the topic of the Cross Guild and looked at Buckingham Stussy, who was still unconscious beside him.

"Old Sha, neither I nor Mihawk need this old woman."

Ian unleashed a clay tentacle, grabbed Buckingham Stussy, and threw her in front of Crocodile.

"You can do it yourself!"
