After hearing Crocodile's words, Ian couldn't help laughing.
He sat down on a stone by the street, and then waved his hand to signal Crocodile to sit down and talk.
Crocodile was very reluctant, but he had no choice but to hold the handle in Ian's hands, and finally followed him to find a rock, and sat face to face with Ian, with his feet spread out, his elbows on his knees on both sides Above, he was carelessly smoking a cigar and looking at Ian. This is called losing without losing.
"Old Sha!" Ian is used to calling him that now, so he opened his mouth and said, "If I give you back your soul, what are you going to do next? Return to Alabasta?"
"Otherwise where am I going?" Crocodile sniffed.
"Are you still going to carry out your plan?" Ian rubbed his chin and asked him with great interest, "Are you still planning to seize Alabasta and find clues about Hades?"
Crocodile was no longer surprised that Ian knew his plan. He squinted at Ian and said, "What? Are you going to stop my plan like you stopped Doflamingo? That The guy named Sabo is the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, since you are involved with him, do you want to follow the Revolutionary Army's way?"
"No, I'm not such a bad person!" Ian shook his head and said: "Even if there are some things that I don't like, as long as it doesn't involve me, I won't care so much. Doflamingo is hostile to me. , I will engage him, and it has nothing to do with the revolutionary army!"
Crocodile snorted coldly, expressing his disbelief in Ian's words. The appearance of Sabo made Crocodile doubt Ian's identity, suspecting that he was also a member of the Revolutionary Army, but out of fear of Ian , and the fear of the world's biggest criminal, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Drago, Crocodile intends to bury this matter in his heart.
Ian didn't care about his cold snort, and continued to say: "The reason why I mentioned this is that I don't understand the significance of your doing it. Even if Alabasta really has clues about Hades, but the ancient Weapons have been more than 800 years ago, even if they really existed somewhere in the world, they would have been weathered and decayed long ago, so what is the use of finding them?"
"That's my business!" Crocodile snorted again, and said impatiently, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Come to my pirate group!" Ian stared at him and said, "On my ship, there is still a lack of a chief of staff position!"
Crocodile was stunned, but then pointed at Ian with his pirate hook and laughed: "Wow ha ha ha ha!"
He laughed so loudly that he felt like he was about to burst into tears. His appearance was very beating, but Ian still looked at him with a smile.
"You, you actually want to recruit me, who is also from Shichibukai, to be the chief of staff on your ship?" Crocodile laughed out of breath, and said, "Ian, I admit that you are very powerful, but Don’t you think such an idea is too ridiculous? I’m Crocodile, a sand crocodile, and like you, I’m a Qiwuhai at the same level! Why do you recruit me?”
Ian didn't mind Crocodile's ridicule at all. In fact, when he said this, he had already expected it.
In Ian's view, Crocodile is indeed an object that can be won. Although it seems that Crocodile appears as a villain, if you study carefully, you will find that the evil of him and Doflamingo is still the same. There is an essential difference.
Doflamingo's evil is a contempt for everything, and he regards his life as an ant's superior posture. He takes his own evil deeds for granted. The trash and the weak have no human rights and should die. Crocodile The evil is just to achieve the goal by whatever means.
Ian's pirate group, now only he and Fujitora are the two high-end fighters who can really get their hands on it. For the rest, although Ian is trying his best to gather and expand his own power, he has to say that he and the high-end fighters There is still a gap in this term, there is no way to do it, the truly powerful ones are all guys who have already made a name for themselves in this pirate world, how can they be so easily recruited
And the so-called defeating them and subduing them is just a delusion. Every strong man has his own way of doing things. How can it be possible to make people return to him just by suppressing them by force? The reason why Uncle Fujitora was able to come on Ian's boat was only because his and Ian's personalities were very similar.
But no matter what, Ian also discovered the benefits of having enough high-end combat power in this battle against Doflamingo. Facing the famous Tianyasha Doflamingo, they almost crushed all the way In the past, the only person who caused trouble in this battle was Doflamingo alone, and none of his senior cadres even made a splash.
Realizing the benefits of being strong, Ian is also trying to find as many strong people as possible to join his pirate group, and Crocodile is obviously a good candidate.
Even if he lost to himself, his strength is indeed beyond doubt.
Crocodile's answer was just like his arrogant personality. Even if he was not Ian's opponent, he never thought of being inferior to others.
However, when he saw the smile on Ian's face, his laughter gradually died down, and he said to Ian, "Are you serious?"
"Let's put it this way!" Ian tilted his head and thought for a while: "You may think that my proposal is hard for you to accept now, but I will put it here. If you change your mind in the future, then my pirate The regiment has always reserved a place for you!"
Ian's expression of "I'm very optimistic about you" made Crocodile very depressed.
After finishing speaking, Ian didn't talk nonsense, and pretended to take out a few times from his pocket, but actually took Crocodile's soul light ball from the system's item backpack, and then threw it to him casually.
Crocodile hurriedly caught his own soul light ball, and then roared at Ian: "Be careful!"
He was very displeased with Ian's attitude of not caring about his soul.
Ian shrugged.
"How do I put this back?" Crocodile asked him.
"Eat it! Probably..." Ian scratched his head and said.
Crocodile has blue veins on his forehead, what does this uncertain tone mean? He really wanted to grab Ian's collar and ask loudly, have you ever cared about my soul?
But after thinking about it, I felt that these words were too dirty, so I had no choice but to swallow my soul light ball in one gulp.
Fortunately, this approach is considered correct, the soul light group dissipated in Crocodile's mouth, and merged with him again.
This is the first time for Crocodile to eat his own soul, and it feels amazing.
The feeling of suddenly becoming full of spirit made Crocodile realize that his soul had really come back, so he looked at Ian, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little eager to move.
Now that the handle in Ian's hands is gone, Crocodile wants to get the place back.
But Ian didn't panic at all. After seeing Crocodile's thoughts, he casually picked out his ears and said, "You should think about it carefully. If I can take out your soul once, then I can take out your soul for the second time." The second time! If it is the second time I take it out, I don't guarantee that I will accidentally crush it!"
"Hmph!" After hearing this, Crocodile finally restrained himself. He knew that Ian's ability restrained him in every way, and if he fought with Ian, he would probably lose, so I didn't think about it any more, and said, "Do you really want that woman Nicole Robin to stay in your pirate group?"
"Well, in your hands, she is just someone to be used!" Ian nodded and said: "But she is very important to some people."
What Ian was talking about was naturally the Revolutionary Army. He was still thinking, maybe he got Nicole Robin as a companion, so maybe he could meet the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Drago
If he could see Dorag, he would like to ask, what is going on with Uncle Xiong
In Ian's life in this life, there are a few people who he can't let go of, one is Guina and the other Sauron, both of whom are his relatives, and the rest, one is Ace, his brother , and finally Uncle Xiong.
For Ian, Uncle Xiong is a person who has helped him a lot, but he has never asked him for anything in return. Ian is very grateful to him and respects him very much. He is like a selfless elder. Therefore, Ian has always been very concerned about Uncle Xiong voluntarily becoming the subject of Vegabank's transformation.
But now, the transformation is irreversible. Ian knows that when the transformation is completely completed, it means that he has completely lost an elder. This feeling makes Ian very depressed.
Since it can't be stopped, at least we must understand Uncle Xiong's real intentions. Maybe the revolutionary army is planning something, so maybe I can contribute to Uncle Xiong's wish
