From Impel Down to the Multiverse

The first half of the Grand Line, Paradise.

A CP4 reconnaissance ship disguised as a merchant ship is sailing in secret. An island is slowly moving on the sea about 15 kilometers away from the reconnaissance ship.

In the cabin of the reconnaissance ship, three CP4 agents are staring at the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

One of the agents, holding Den Den Mushi while watching, issued a low eagle whistle one after another.

In the sky behind the moving island, a Protea is closely following the island, hovering on the surrounding sea from time to time.

There are two Den Den Mushi tied to Costin’s abdomen and neck. One is for talking to Den Den Mushi and the other is for monitoring Den Den Mushi.

Obviously this is the monitoring method of this CP3squad.

Go back to the scout ship.

"Captain, what do you say?" one of the agents wearing glasses turned his head and asked.

Little Captain shook the head: "In the past few months, the personnel we dispatched in the past have all disappeared. It is very likely that they will all be killed by the other party. Sir let us continue to monitor from a distance. Don’t take it lightly. Come closer."

The agent wearing glasses said with some confusion: "But how does this island move?"

"It should be some kind of huge creature." Little Captain speculated.

"Huge creature? Isn't it too big?" Another purple-haired agent was very surprised.

Little Captain explained with the expression of a person coming over: "This world has many magical creatures. Legend has it that there is a huge elephant lord named Zuowu on the New World side. Living on Zou’s back."

"This so-called gourmet kingdom was probably hidden in the Calm Belt before, but it appeared on the Grand Line for unknown reasons." The agent wearing glasses analyzed. road.

The Zifa agent scratched his head and complained: "The sea is getting more and more unstable. Recently, the workload has increased a lot."

Inside the food island, the greenhouse city Beelzebub and the others, in fact, have long discovered the sneaky CP4 scout ship.

In fact, the current intelligence system of the Federation of People's Revolutionary People's Republic of China is basically with no opportunity.

This CP4 reconnaissance ship can track the Food Island intact, but Beelzebub deliberately stayed for fishing.

A dozen parasitic barnacles are attached to the bottom of the reconnaissance ship, and the sound of the ship is monitored and transmitted to the monitoring room of the food island.

In other words, every move of this CP4squad is under the watchful eye of Beelzebub.

In terms of intelligence warfare, the National People's Revolutionary Federation is more professional than the CP organization.

At this time, the food island has undergone a series of personnel supplements. It has a permanent population of 160,000, and its military strength is six battalions and more than 3,000 soldiers.

In addition, there are dozens of mid-to-high-level battle strengths.

In addition to the fortress defense system of Food Island, it is sufficient to deal with moderate-intensity wars. Even if the World Government wants to conquer the Food Kingdom, three Admiral battle strengths are needed to meet force with force. .

even more how, behind the gourmet kingdom, there is also the NPC.

Once the conflict really breaks out, Beelzebub can still shake people directly. As long as Lucifer's shadow base is not contained, the forces of the People's Revolutionary Federation will be easily concentrated.

This is also the reason why Wang Gao dared to open a large number of branches.

Beelzebub and Charlie have already ordered six battalion commanders and eight town chiefs to prepare for the war. World Government's probing actions will soon appear.

Don't look at the huge food island, but its moving speed is not slow. On average, it can travel about 30 kilometers per hour.

At this time, I have come to the Sea Territory near the long circle island of the paradise. Many merchant ships and Pirate Ships passing by have discovered this mobile island.

On a pier on the long roundabout.

On a large ship with a Crocodile head hung on the bow, a youngster with a large back head combed, and a horizontal suture scar on his face, and a youngster with a golden hook in his hand.

Standing on the deck, smoking a cigar while flipping through the newspaper.

On the other side of him, two people in white suits and masks said to him in a tranquil voice:

"Mr. Crocodile, if you are willing to cooperate, as long as you win the gourmet kingdom, we I can recommend to Lord Gorosei to make you an Oka Shichibukai."

"hehe...I heard that many Pirates have been wiped out by the Kingdom of Food. You would not want me and the Kingdom of Food to suffer from both sides. , And then take the benefit of the fishermen?" Crocodile faint smile asked.

The mask man is very calm: "Oka Shichibukai is not something everyone can be. If you don't have enough strength, how can you suppress Pirate?"

Another mask man reminded: "Think about it. We don't have only one choice. We have been in Long Huandao for these two days and we are leaving."

After talking, the two masked men jumped off the boat and disappeared in a while. On the pier.

Crocodile looked at the back of the two leaving, showing a trace of tangled expression.

Before, he was on the side of Whiskey Mountain and had been secretly planning to plot Alabasta's ancient weapons, but Alabasta is one of the world's franchise countries, and the Royal Family almost became Celestial Dragon.

This makes him afraid to act rashly. If he enters Alabasta with fanfare, it will definitely arouse the Royal Family’s attention and beware, and may even provoke the World Government.

Being invited to become Oka Shichibukai, some of the conditions allow him to enter Alabasta as an official, which facilitates his plan.

But there is no free lunch in the world. To obtain the identity of Oka Shichibukai, he needs to show enough strength and at the same time be subject to certain constraints.

For example, now, CP0 wants him to test the Kingdom of Food, which is obviously not an easy task.

After all, Crocodile is not blind. When the food kingdom appeared on the Grand Line, it has always been a very mysterious and powerful place.

Countless Pirates who attempted to rob the Kingdom of Food, all broke into the sand silently, and many of them were Pirate Supernova in recent years.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Food is very mysterious. Except for some situations in the two ports, no one knows its internal information.

After being taught by Whitebeard in New World, Crocodile did not have the previous arrogant and conceited, but became very cautious.

Although he is eager to obtain the identity of Oka Shichibukai to facilitate his plotting of ancient weapons, it is not a wise move to provoke unknown enemies rashly.

This is his struggle at this moment.

Suddenly his Den Den Mushi rang. After the call was connected: "How is the situation?"

"Boss, the island continues to move northward. Round the island Sea Territory." Den Den Mushi replied.

"Continue monitoring." Crocodile instructed.

"Yes, boss."

Hanging up Den Den Mushi, Crocodile looked up. The sun was slightly westward, and there were only about three hours left in the evening.

Looking at the turbulent waves in the harbor in front of you, ships carrying dreams or ambitions rushing to the sea of ​​surging forward with great momentum, he involuntarily overwhelmed by emotions.

"If I dare not even try, what else will I go out to sea?"

Then Crocodile made up his mind, turned his head and said: "Lyle Germany, prepare to set sail, target the food kingdom ."

Navigator Lyle de nodded: "OK."

Then the 5 Pirate Ships of Crocodile left the port on the long roundabout and accelerated their voyage to the west.

In a residential building in the port.

CP0 who was talking to Crocodile before, one of them put down the telescope: "The fish is on the bait."

"The people from Marine are here too."

"We should move, too."

After a while, the room became dull again.
