Chapter 374 Hazy’s First Invitation

All external affairs of Baroque Works are handled by Robin.

There was almost no sign of Crocodile.

So after answering the phone and hearing a female voice, Hazy made a judgment.

It is undeniable that Robin is indeed very smart...this is an ability developed through her experience.

Her life on the run since she was a child has given her extraordinary wisdom.

However, it is still not stable enough.

He just said her name and it already made Robin panic.

Crocodile said he could protect Robin, but in fact he just 'hid' her and changed her appearance.

If the news about him and Robin gets out, even if Sand Crocodile is a Shichibukai, he will have no way to save himself in the face of the coercion of the World Government.

He asked knowingly.

The old man was enjoying his cigarette, "I used to be a pirate...I came to see you, but I just thought it would be a pity for a guy like you to die here."

Dom originally wanted to laugh at the former's self-righteousness, but was interrupted by Hagi.

At this time, the town has long been deserted... and there are still people who are not afraid of death who have not left.

"Let's go. I'm very familiar with the nearby sea areas and know a relatively secret route. One of the sea areas has a very harsh environment, and there are a lot of undercurrents lurking in the sea... This is a great waterway, with all kinds of strange weather and factors emerging one after another. If you want to find a chance of survival, you can only place your hope in God... The premise is that you must get there as soon as possible. As for whether we can escape in the end, I dare not say."

"how come?"

It is even possible to abandon Robin directly.

Hagi threw away the phone bug and returned to his seat.

"Ah."

He looked at it with hazy eyes, as if he was looking at some rare species, and laughed in a tone that sounded like someone who had experienced it.

The old man was wearing a tattered undershirt. When he saw them appearing, he sat down on the ground and crossed his legs.

"Let's go."

Dom looked over.

"That is to say... you two only have one hour to go to sea... and escape from the siege at sea."

Hagi found a map.

Hao raised an eyebrow.

"Where's Crocodile?"

It's the old man who mines ores.

He is not too worried about the navy coming over. After all, the way in which the Sea King class travels as a 'submarine' is unknown to outsiders.

The old man stood up slowly and led the way.

The World Government's manpower will arrive soon.

Immediately led Dom away.

The coordinates of Bona Island, viewed from a parallel angle in the first half of the Great Channel, belong to the upper reaches of the Little Garden and the lower reaches of the Kingdom of Alabasta, but they are not on the same horizontal line. In other words, if they follow the normal route, they will reach Upside Down Mountain soon.

"Boss...there is someone."

He has no idea about Sand Crocodile and Robin, and he doesn't want to take Robin on board. Although Robin can interpret historical texts, Hao's purpose is not to fight for the big secret treasure. He wants to overthrow the hegemony of the Celestial Dragons, kill as many scumbags as possible, destroy the order of the world, and plunge it into chaos. From this point of view alone, Robin does not meet the criteria for selecting a crew member. This interaction with the Baroque Working Society was purely accidental.

His identity has now been exposed, and the Slick Pirates have been wiped out. Under such circumstances, the old man took the initiative to contact him.

After speaking, the old man shook his head: "Well, it's useless to say anything now... You may not be able to leave alive. This is not far from a branch directly under the Navy Headquarters... Calculate the time, at their sailing speed, It should be almost here.”

Hao flipped through the nearest newspaper for a while and collected various news on the sea.

"I have been wandering at sea for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen someone who has the courage to kill the Celestial Dragons! I thought you two were just stupid young people who didn't know where they came from, and I didn't expect you to be able to kill the Slick Pirates. …”

"Why help me?"

"gloat?"

The two followed the old man out of the town.

Staring at Hazy with interest.

As soon as the two walked out of the building door, Dom stopped.

Once the purpose is achieved, there is no stopping.

It was obvious that he no longer cared about life or death.

The fate of Bona Island was sealed.

"Is something wrong?"

Then he picked up a cigarette that he had just picked up. Seeing that they were about to leave, he lit the cigarette and said to himself: "But... the Slick Pirates are just a small role. You broke Crocodile's Business…"

This island may also disappear on the shipping route.

Hao saw a person standing on the empty street.

Hazy asked as he walked side by side with the old man.

"Well... If I want to talk about the reason, there is a feeling in you that I am familiar with..."

"What does it feel like?"

"The big shot...the true powerhouse of the sea."

The old man said, "I have seen too many pirates in my life... Some appear to be powerful, but in fact they are strong but incompetent. Some rise overnight, resound across the sea, and then quickly fall... Not everyone is qualified to stand in this world. On the sea, there is always something that cannot fall. To put it more bluntly, being able to survive and outlive everyone else is a skill in itself... If you can escape from the Chambord Islands, you must be something special. But What I appreciate is your courage."

"To attack the Tianlong people... this is an idea that even the Four Emperors would not dare to attack easily, and have never even thought of."

"Have you met the Yonko?"

Long heard the hidden meaning.

"Well... I have met one, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard. Since you know Crocodile, you must have guessed some of my identity... I used to be his partner, or I can't say partner. To him at that time, we were just subordinates, so this description is closer. I witnessed the battle between him and Whitebeard with my own eyes, and I also saw what it means to be the strongest man who dominates the sea."

"After the pirate group was disbanded, I came back. I have been the mayor of the town, helping Crocodile earn some profits on the island. But from one day onwards, things changed, and he began to intensify his efforts to As for us having some unpleasant conflicts... and then, that's what you see."

"Why don't you leave?"

Dom from the side interrupted.

"Haha...I am old, this is my home."

"Falled leaves return to their roots, even if they die, they will die here."

The old man said relieved.

"You don't hate me? If it hadn't been for my arrival, this island might not have disappeared..." he said with a smile.

"Look at those overlords on the sea, who didn't do something earth-shattering before the world remembered their names before they became successful?! From the perspective of your destiny, it only involved an unknown city. It's just a small island, it's not a big deal. Besides, as a weak person, I have no right to complain. From the day I went to sea and became a pirate, I knew... If I want to change, if I want to have the right to speak, the only way is to have Absolute strength.”

"I hate you...does it work? Can it change anything?"

The old man laughed at himself, then waved his hand, "However, don't be too proud... You do have 'marks' of a strong man on your body, but you are still far from Whitebeard and Crocodile. When you arrive in the new world one day, you will understand what I mean... There are many people like you there. It's just that you are a little more special than them... Now you are just a fugitive who may lose your life at any time. Or, one day in the future, he may become a big shot, but now, he is not yet."

"I came to see you just to see what it would be like for you when you are wanted by the World Government."

"If your face or eyes are full of fear and panic, I won't help you."

After a while, the old man led them to a deserted beach.

On the shore, in an imperceptible rock cave, there was a small boat covered with black cloth moored.

"Go."

The old man took out another route map and handed it over.

Hao didn't answer, but looked at him, "Would you like to take a gamble?"

"What are you gambling?"

The old man chuckled.

"You also said that I will become a big shot one day in the future... Do you want to get on my boat? Make an investment?"

This is an invitation.

"I don't have the energy anymore..."

The old man laughed.

"pity."

Hao felt that the old man had a good will. A person like him was more in line with… Hao's understanding of pirates when he was on Earth, just by reading the original novel.

Instead of just killing and looting, being able to break into the new world with Crocodile and start a war with Whitebeard... Looking at the entire sea, there are only a few people who can do such a thing.

Definitely the elite among pirates.

Moreover, an experienced elder can save a lot of trouble.
