"I will be sent to the underwater prison next."
Crocodile propped up his body while thinking about his future outcome.
After the battle just now, Crocodile knew that the opponent's strength was definitely stronger than his own. With the effect of his armed domineering force, the opponent had already reached the level of proficiency.
But even so, Crocodile was still not ready to admit defeat. He had never given up in the New World, and certainly not in the first half of this great route.
However, when Crocodile stood up with all his strength, Wan Xiu and his party had already passed through the Kingdom Guards, paying no attention to Crocodile lying in the pit.
For Wan Xiu and others, defeating Crocodile is enough. The opponent has become the Shichibukai, and the bounty has been lifted long ago. Even if Crocodile is caught, Wan Xiu and the others have no way to redeem the bounty.
"gone?"
Crocodile, who had already stood up, looked at Wan Xiu and others who were gradually walking away, and was confused for a moment.
'What the hell is going on? '
Crocodile thought, since the other party was sent by the navy to arrest him, why not just capture him and send him to the underwater prison
'Damn, what happened. '
Full of questions, Crocodile turned around and shouted to Nico Robin who was among the Kingdom Guards: "I need a phone bug."
Although Nico Robin was not Crocodile's subordinate yet, Robin still handed over the phone bug that Crocodile had stored with her.
"Sand Crocodile? This is the Navy Headquarters, what can I do?" When the call was connected, the voice that came out was Lieutenant General He who was at the Navy Headquarters.
"Your navy is really good at playing games. Let me capture the great pirate Wan Xiu. Isn't he one of yours?"
Crocodile covered the place injured by Katakuri and continued with pain: "But what I didn't expect was that Doflamingo actually joined you. He is worthy of being a Celestial Dragon. Aren’t you afraid of being caught and taken to the underwater prison?”
"Sand Crocodile, what are you talking about?" Crane at the Navy Headquarters continued with a straight face, "The Doflamingo you are talking about is not the one in Dressrosa."
"No? Who else could it be?"
Crocodile looked at the capital gate where there was no figure, and asked in confusion: "That's Doflamingo, and next to him there is Garp."
Previously, the navy had been blocking information about the pirate kings under Wan Xiu, so even Crocodile, who was in the Shichibukai, did not know the situation of those people under Wan Xiu.
Since Crocodile was very puzzled, Lieutenant General He could only explain it to him using a telephone bug.
"Is he someone who looks very similar to Garp and the others?" After listening to Lieutenant General He's story about Wan Xiu and others, Crocodile had some clues. "In other words, those two people are Fake?"
Lieutenant General He nodded at the phone bug and said: "Yes, they are all fake. Our Navy Headquarters is also preparing to publish all their information. You should be able to see it in the next two days."
"Since this mission failed, you should temporarily evacuate Alabasta, and our navy will solve the follow-up matters."
In fact, Lieutenant General He did not expect that Crocodile would have a chance to contact her. According to her previous plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, the defeated Crocodile should be killed directly by Wan Xiu and the others.
But now that Crocodile is still alive, the Navy is still prepared to keep the Shichibukai for the time being. If the Navy conducts another major siege against Wanshui in the future, he may still be useful.
"I know." After learning all the information, Crocodile was not ready to catch up.
After hanging up the phone, Crocodile said to Robin again: "It seems that our cooperation has to change its direction."
Thinking about this Shichibukai, Wanxiu and others who have entered the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta must also be preparing to directly control this country. Regardless of whether Wan Xiu succeeds or not, Alabasta will be the focus of the world. Under such exposure, it would be unwise to directly interfere with the Kingdom of Alabasta.
However, although Crocodile could not directly control the Kingdom of Alabasta, he still did not stop thinking about finding Hades through the Baroque Working Society.
It is precisely because he still wants to continue looking for the ancient weapon Pluto that Crocodile still wants to cooperate with Robin, who can recognize ancient writing.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't cooperate with you." Robin, who had just witnessed Katakuri defeat Crocodile, smiled, turned around and walked towards the capital gate.
Crocodile looked at Robin's retreating back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his originally unruly face became gloomy.
As a Qibukai, Crocodile was very angry. All his plans were broken by the arrival of Wanxiu and his party. The most important point is Robin's departure. If the only person who can recognize ancient writings at this stage does not join his organization, what will happen even if he finds the historical text with Pluto's information.
The same headache as Crocodile was Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters. He had just received a report from Crane that Wan Xiu and others had defeated the Sand Crocodile, but they had not silenced it.
In this way, the two people who look like Garp and Doflamingo may not be able to hide it anymore. Unlike the navy, although the Shichibukai are affiliated with the World Government, they are always pirates and will not abide by the same rules as naval soldiers.
"It seems that we can only release all the information about those two people." Warring States leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and was thinking about what kind of sensation the information about these two people would cause in the world.
He sat next to Warring States, nodded and said: "This is the only way."
After He finished speaking, Sengoku opened his eyes, looked at the roof and said, "That Doflamingo is okay, but Garp is a little difficult to deal with."
For the Navy, it is not a problem for someone to pretend to be a pirate. At most, it is just one more reward list. Even if the person pretending to be the Shichibukai, the Navy would just send more people to encircle and suppress them.
But this time Garp is different. As a naval hero, Garp is the face of the navy. The Warring States Period must not allow the navy's reputation to be lost because of a fake guy.
"They are obviously delaying the Shichibukai's invitation. This time Wanxiu directly attacked Crocodile, which shows that they don't care about the Shichibukai at all." Seeing that Sengoku was very entangled, Tsurushi also thought of a way to deal with it. "We can't hope that the other party will join the Shichibukai. Maybe we can only have another century war."
Hearing He's words, Warring States turned to look at his long-time comrades in arms and said, "Like what happened in the Valley of Gods?"
