Pirate's Swordsman

"It's indeed the first time we've met, but we're already considered acquaintances."

Facing Warring States' gaze, Xia Nuo smiled slightly, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "Speaking of which, your headquarters has been tormenting you for bounties a lot in the past few years. I heard that Marshal Warring States helped solve it, which really caused trouble. "

This kid, isn't he the one who doesn't want to open the pot?

Zeng Guo's expression froze, and black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead. It was okay if he didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, his head got big, and he wanted to punch Xia Nuo on the opposite side.

There is naturally a reason for this. Ever since the Hayate Pirates entered the new world, they have never stopped fighting. Every time they kill a pirate with a reward, their head will be sent to the G-5 branch. Through This navy, the only one established in the New World, demands a bounty from Malevando.

Over the past few years, the Navy Headquarters has paid at least a bounty of more than 2 billion Baileys to Xia Nuo, which can be said to be a disguised form of support for the entire Gale Fleet.

Many high-ranking navy officials have objections to this. As a pirate, it's okay to ask the navy for a bounty openly. After all, you are bound by the Shichibukai's covenant. If you don't give it, you won't be justified, and you will break your promise to the world.

But no matter how you put it, this efficiency is too high, isn't it? Every now and then, you get hundreds of millions from your headquarters, making it seem like your headquarters is printing money specifically for you. Who can withstand this?

Not to mention some of them were originally prey of the navy, but were inexplicably intercepted by the Hayate Pirates midway.

Therefore, if he had not overcame all opinions and determined that the benefits of giving bounties far outweighed the disadvantages, there would really be few people in the Navy who could stand the Hayate Pirates' plundering behavior day after day, year after year. .

"Okay, whether we are familiar with each other or not is another matter. Let's stop talking about the situation. Let's get straight to the point."

After glaring at Xia Nuo, Warring States glanced around everyone and spoke in a deep voice:

"The last Shichibukai meeting was eight months ago, so cumulatively, there are still many issues this time that need to be discussed carefully with everyone here."

As soon as these words came out, the vice admirals present straightened their backs and acted as if they were listening attentively, while several Shichibukai on the other side also reluctantly showed some interest and turned their faces to look at Sengoku.

"First of all, the first topic is about the 'ghost bullet' Roos who massacred civilians in more than fifteen villages and towns on Kaji Island in the North Sea four months ago and was offered a reward of 9000 million beli."

"According to the information obtained by our headquarters, this villain has escaped from the encirclement of Navy Branch 59 and entered the Grand Line."

After a slight pause, Warring States turned to look at Crocodile:

"The latest intelligence shows that he seems to have infiltrated the Kingdom of Alabasta and become a member of the Kingdom's army."

"is it?"

Crocodile leaned lazily on the soft plush chair and seemed not surprised: "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid and excuse me, Shah Crocodile."

Warring States pushed up his round glasses and said with a serious face:

"You have been in Alabasta for so many years and you are a local snake there. It is definitely easier to find someone than the navy. It can be said that it is most suitable for you to be responsible for the pursuit of Ghost Bullet Roos. matter!"

"maybe."

Crocodile shrugged his shoulders, still looking like he didn't take it to heart, "But after all, this is your navy's business, why should I waste this time and energy, just for the bounty of tens of millions of Baileys? What?"

Having said this, Crocodile smiled contemptuously, as if there was something in his words.

Obviously, Crocodile had heard about the fact that Xia Nuo had been asking the Navy for bounties in recent years. However, he did not think highly of this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart. He believed that this kind of unstructured behavior could only be It is really beneath the dignity of such a 20-year-old boy to do it so enthusiastically.

"is it?"

Warring States calmly took out a document from a pile of documents on the table and threw it in front of Crocodile: "This kind of thing is a waste of time and energy? But how did I hear that you have done this kind of thing a lot in the past few years? "

"You are a chivalrous and righteous man who fights against all odds. You have almost eliminated all the pirates who dared to cause trouble on Shengting Island. Your reputation in Alabasta is very high now. You are simply a legendary hero..."

"But now, you are so resistant to the task of helping the navy hunt down a village-killing villain. This is completely different from your previous behavior."

Warring States stared coldly into Crocodile's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his entire being, "Crocodar, what on earth do you want to do?"

Crocodile flipped through the thrown documents, and his expression finally changed.

"Are you secretly investigating me?"

He suddenly dropped the document, looked at Warring States with a gloomy expression, and said solemnly: "This is not what allies should do. They do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Sure enough, you guys, a group of navy who claim to be righteous, have been doing it for so many years. Now, do you still like to play this game?"

"How you want to speculate is your business, I have no control over it."

Warring States ignored his sarcasm and expressed his attitude straightforwardly: "But I must warn you that the royal family of Alabasta are descendants of the former Celestial Dragons. If their safety is threatened, this department will not sit idly by."

"It's okay if you just sit there and hope to become a legendary hero, but it's best not to use your brain and do something outrageous, otherwise..."

"interesting."

Looking at Crocodile with a gloomy expression next to him, Xia Nuo couldn't help but take the document with great interest and browse it quickly.

The result is no surprise. The above is the general trajectory of Crocodile's activities in the Kingdom of Alabasta over the years.

Although it is not detailed, the general appearance can be shown. The image of a hypocrite who obviously has a conspiracy and is looking for fame has emerged on the paper. It is no wonder that the Navy Headquarters has become suspicious.

This is very strange.

Xia Nuo clearly remembered that in the original timeline, Crocodile's plan in Alabasta was quite successful and secretive, at least until the mutiny in the royal capital and when Weiwei's father and other royal family were ousted, the Navy Headquarters The border areas were not aware of the situation and did not send any troops to maintain stability and reinforce the situation.

And now, Warring States actually noticed Crocodile's strange behavior so early, and directly exposed it to his face at the meeting without any shame.

Who reminded the Navy Headquarters, or was it just because of his own existence that the butterfly wings quietly flapped, causing such a big deviation in the fate of the sand crocodile?
