Pirates: How many divisions does the Five Old Stars have?

Chapter 143 Destination: Shurima

Alabasta Palace.

Cobra frowned.

There are thick government reports piled up in front of me, but I am not in the mood to take care of them.

The daughter has not written to herself for several months.

Even during the Chinese New Year, she didn't come back to accompany her old father.

Although Cobra is well aware of how heavy the burden on Vivi is now.

It can be said that the fate of the whole country rests on the shoulders of this young girl.

Just thinking that she was living with the cadre of the Baroque studio as a fiancée, Cobra could hardly control his emotions.

Cobra couldn't imagine what this villain would do to his daughter.

Ok……

"No, we can't continue like this!"

Cobra stood up abruptly.

The guard officer Jackal Jaka at the side quickly persuaded: "Didn't Her Royal Highness write you a letter three months ago, telling you not to worry about it, and don't go to the Northeast Desert?"

"That's what makes me more worried."

Cobra clutched his forehead in pain. "That child, Weiwei, has been like this since she was a child. She keeps all the pain in her heart, and acts cheerful and happy in front of outsiders."

"That is to say, does she regard you as an outsider, Your Majesty the King?"

"Shut up! Jiaka, how can you slander my little baby like this? Of course I am the most important person in Weiwei's heart. It is because she is too important that she doesn't want me to worry."

Seeing His Majesty's way of breaking the defense, the jackal Jiaka sensibly closed his mouth.

"I've decided that, as the king of Alabasta, I'm too laissez-faire with the lords of the kingdom."

"For example, Crocodile, the lord of the Rainland, hasn't paid a penny in taxes to the treasury for three years, and I have never visited the Rainland. This time, I must uphold the dignity of the royal family! "

Jackal Jaka scratched his head, "Your Majesty, do you mean to make Crocodile pay back the taxes?"

"Well, Crocodile is the king's Shichibukai. In the past few years, he has eliminated many difficult pirates for the kingdom. He is credited."

Although Cobra didn't really like this Wangxia Shichibukai who relied on his own force and identity to act domineeringly.

But now that the Qiwuhai system under the king has not completely collapsed, the image of Qiwuhai is still very positive.

Crocodile's reputation among ordinary people is no lower than that of his king.

Plus Crocodile did a lot of good for the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Due to emotion and reason, Cobra has no stance to come to his door to collect debts.

At least, he, the king who keeps saying that he is dedicated to the people, but in fact has always pursued a policy of appeasement and is very inactive, really thinks so in his heart.

If it's Ma Qiao, it doesn't matter if you are Shichibukai or Hachibukai, as long as you pay taxes, we are all good friends.

But if you dare to resist the tax, you will definitely see what is called the iron fist of the tax authority.

In short, facing Crocodile, Cobra was obedient, but for Marjorie, the little boy who abducted his daughter, Cobra decided to strike hard.

"Jaka, when Ma Qiao was conferred, the agreed spring grain delivery date was only half a month away."

"I heard that guy built a luxurious mansion on the edge of Crescent Bay, and even used groundwater to plant trees, but he didn't sow food. Such a bad behavior must be strictly investigated!"

After counting a lot of Macho's crimes, Cobra made a final decision:
"Accompany me for a walk. We will make a private visit in a micro-service. We must find out the handle of that little boy, and then dig out the conspiracy of the Baroque studio."

Seeing that His Majesty Cobra has made up his mind, Jackal Jaka immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare right away!"

Cobra nodded in satisfaction, and then whispered: "Remember, you must have a good disguise. Don't let that girl Vivi find out. I want to give her a big surprise."

……

rain.

Crocodile sat on the new sofa, no matter which position he used, he always felt a little awkward.

He kind of missed his expensive sofa made of pure crocodile leather.

That sofa is so soft, so comfy, and at a great price.

However, when he left the rainy land to fight against the red-haired Shanks in the new world, this comfortable sofa was accidentally bitten by a mouse.

Rats in the desert are indeed very powerful.

Because of the abundant water source in the rainy land, rats from all over the world have come to take refuge recently, and the rainy land has become the limit of rats.

Flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, mice, even Shichibukai has nothing to do with them.

So Crocodile tentatively believed such rhetoric.

only. ...

Why do these rats specially bite their expensive cigars, gold watches, gemstone rings and antique paintings in their collection!
"Robin, don't forget, you are the devil's son spurned by the world, and only by my side can you have a chance to survive!"

Crocodile had to warn the woman in front of her who couldn't see emotions.

He has no evidence, and he doesn't need any evidence, he is Crocodile!
Even if White Beard is in front of him, he dares to swing a knife!

This is the vigor of the older generation who once witnessed the torture of Pirate King Roger!

But in the face of Robin, the son of the devil, Crocodile still showed great endurance.

At least until the historical essays are deciphered and the ancient weapons are found, this is a woman who must not be beaten or scolded.

Hearing Crocodile's menacing warning, Robin smiled professionally and charmingly.

"Understood, Mr.0. I'll have the headquarters fully rat-proofed."

"However, I think the rats you feed your banana crocodiles are the key to attracting those wild rats. Maybe you can consider changing your crocodiles to eat strawberry pudding, which can reduce the occurrence of rodent infestation."

"What are you kidding, there are no crocodiles eating strawberry pudding, it's like being told a goat is eating a donut!"

"Goats? Goats really know how to eat donuts?" Robin tilted his head, noncommittal.

"I really don't know what weird books you read at home."

Crocodile shook his head, unable to understand the brain circuit of this female schoolmaster:

"Has Von Klein returned from East China Sea?"

"Not yet." Robinhui reported.

Crocodile couldn't help but frowned. "What's going on with Von Klein, a mere pirate hunter, hasn't he done it for so long?"

"Well, it is said that there was a little accident."

"Accident? What accident?"

"Mr.2 seems to be accidentally involved in the battle between the Navy and the Creek Pirates. Now the newcomer Wang Shiyu in the East China Sea. Plank has declared that he will personally arrest Mr.2 to avenge his brother."

"Timely Rain Planck? Who is that?"

Crocodile lit a very young cigar, took a puff, and couldn't help frowning: "Damn rat!"

"This Timely Rain is said to be a character who can fight against masters at the level of the Four Emperors. Well, it's the same as when you fought against Whitebeard back then. Now the outside world is rumoring that he has at least the strength of the Seven Martial Seas."

"Hmph, what a boring time, can any cat or dog be compared to me?"

Crocodile thought of a certain old salted fish bat.

Moonlight Moriah's strength has deteriorated visible to the naked eye in recent years. It is said that the world government has already wanted to remove him from the Shichibukai.

But none of these things have anything to do with Crocodile. Now he only wants to develop in a low-key manner, secretly get Pluto, and then surprise everyone.

Speaking of Hades...

Crocodile immediately thought of someone.

"By the way, how is that guy Ma Qiao's mission done?"

Several months have passed since the last call to urge Ma Qiao to complete the dance fan project.

But so far, Crocodile has not heard any news about the Neferutali royal family and dancing fans.

"Could that guy, Marjorie, be paddling again?"

Ten years ago, Crocodile was beaten up by Whitebeard and escaped from the New World.

After seeing the horror of the world's top combat power, he thought that in order to defeat such a guy, it would be hopeless to practice hard on his own, and he had to find the legendary ancient weapons.

And for some reason, Crocodile learned that Pluto, one of the ancient weapons, is closely related to Alabasta.

So he started from scratch around Alabasta and formed his own forces.

Crocodile remembers clearly that the first employee he recruited was Marjorie.

What Crocodile remembers more clearly is the first sentence Macho said when he applied for the job.

"Does your association provide five social insurances and one housing fund, tolerance subsidies, housing subsidies, high temperature fees, holiday condolences? How many days of maternity leave does your company have? Can you accumulate annual leave? Can you retire at the age of 45? What do you think..."

In short, what Crocodile had in mind at the time was to kill the man in front of him with the rice worm written on his forehead with a desert sword.

"Why did I soften my heart at that time?"

Crocodile shook his head.

It's too late to regret, it's done.

Moreover, in the ninth year of his employment, Ma Qiao unexpectedly had such a little relationship with the Navy.It's not in vain to cultivate yourself.

After all, I planned to give him the precious wax fruit back then.

Although it was later transferred by Galtino.

But no matter how the penguin fruit falls off the rear of the car, it is still a devil fruit.

Tens of millions of Baileys or...

Uh...it doesn't seem to be...

Crocodile propped his chin on the hook, lost in memory:

"Brother Doflaming, you actually want to take me a billion Baileys for five devil fruits? Don't tell me you treat me as a wronged seed?"

"Fufurfur, Crocodile, if you are willing to join our Don Quixote family, I can give you all these devil fruits for free."

"Don't dream, you're almost my little brother!"

"Furfurfur, since this is the case, then I can only do business.

The average price of a Devil Fruit on the market is [-] million Baileys, but the ones I sold to you are all good things.

Light and heavy fruits, bursting fruits, dachshund fruits, waxy fruits... some of them, if not for the sake of Sand Crocodile, I wouldn't even want to sell them, so [-] million ones is normal."

"But what about the penguin fruit? Is this trash fruit worth [-] million?"

"Ah this..."

"The price is [-] million Baileys, and even dogs don't eat the penguin fruit, so it's a gift..."

……

Crocodile withdrew his thoughts, and suddenly restrained his dissatisfaction with Ma Qiao a little.

"Forget it, after all, that guy is also the first person to follow me. Even if he is a good-for-nothing, a salted fish, or a rice worm, I will recognize it."

Crocodile shook his head and stood up.

"Nic Robin, get me some civilian clothes, I'm going to give that idiot some advice, otherwise I don't think Cobra won't be blamed for abusing dancing fans even next year...

Really, with such troublesome employees, I, the president, really work hard..."
