From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

But now, Lu Qi was led astray by Diarmuid when he was very young. Although several people should know each other, after so many years, they don't have much impression.

Lu Qi didn't join CP-9, but a few of them entered CP-9 step by step, and became middle-level personnel in CP-9 by virtue of their outstanding talents.

"When will you be able to beat the tiger, maybe you will have a chance to compete for the position of this commander." Bruno smiled and said.

"Hey, you guys are too heartless, right? Forgot who was fighting for you when you were bullied in the orphanage?" Gabra complained.

Although the werewolf Gabra is often "beaten up" by several of their partners, it seems that the relationship is not very good, but in fact, the relationship between them is very close, and they are the kind of life and death that can be entrusted to each other camaraderie.

This is also a very rare situation in the dark organization of the CP agency. .

Chapter 337 Facing Crocodile, I, Spandain, strike hard!

When Spandain hastened to the rainy land.

In fact, the guy Dorag has already succeeded with the King of Alabasta.Nafiru Tali.Cobra has reached a cooperation agreement.

After a week of thinking and consideration, Cobra finally realized how helpless his situation was.

Obviously, it is one of the members of more than 170 member countries.

Obviously, it is one of the most powerful military countries in the world.

Obviously possesses the most noble bloodline of the kingdom so far.

But unfortunately, Cobra was isolated and helpless, and Mary Joa had a bad relationship with him. There were indeed powerful armies in the country, and the king had more than 60 standing troops. There are also a lot of them, and there are many powerful Sand Pirates.

There is also the old Yinbi of Crocodile inside.

Cobra deeply felt his lack of ability and skill.

He must form an alliance with a force with sufficient capabilities, perhaps in order to survive this difficulty.

But like Drago said, he had no choice.

When the Geming Army appeared in Albana, and when Dorag met Cobra in person, Cobra actually had no choice but to grab the life-saving straw of Dorag.

Rainland, inside the Rain Banquet Casino.

Spandine and Foz.Under the leadership of an attendant, the two of Fu are entering the underground office of Yuyan.

As for Khalifa and other agents, they have already dissipated in Alabasta at this time, collecting information from various places.

Wearing a fur cloak on his body, Spandain looked quite imposing. He looked at the surrounding environment along the way and nodded from time to time.

"I've heard that the Rain Banquet is the most luxurious casino in the first half of the Great Route, and it seems to be true." 12 Spandain said.Foz.Foz followed up and said: "After a while, maybe the business will fail. Have you heard of the Golden City?"

"Of course I've heard that Smoker, one of the four emperors, made it. Marie Gioia specially approved the Golden City as a neutral zone. Even if Drago appeared in the Golden City, I guess I can't do anything. Yes, I really don’t know how much that fellow Smoker has benefited Mary Gioia?” Spandain smacked his lips.

As if he could really catch Drago.

Although the Golden City has not opened yet, it has not yet been built.

But it's coming soon. The relevant fishing boat offensive has already been launched around the world with the help of Morgans.

But all the rich and nobles who have money in their hands have never heard of the Golden City.

That fellow Tezolo's policy is also very simple. His Golden City is dedicated to serving the rich. If you have money, you are an uncle in the Golden City.

Due to the menacing arrival of the Golden City, entertainment cities, casinos and other related industries around the world have been affected to a certain extent.

It's just that because the forces behind the Golden City are too large, they have nothing to do. They can only hope that the Golden City will have problems.

"So after the Golden City starts operating, the Rain Banquet will definitely be hit hard. I hope Crocodile won't mind." Fuzz said.Fel smiled.

"If we can succeed this time, he will definitely not care, because he will either become the king of the desert in Alabasta, or he will go to Imperton to spend the rest of his miserable life, hehehe... ..." Spanda Yin smiled wickedly.

The attendants leading the way in front of him looked a little embarrassed. I don't know if there will be a problem when they hear this?

When he came to the third underground floor of the Rain Banquet, the attendant stopped moving forward, and the front was where he was not qualified to go.

And in front of the third-floor corridor, a beautiful woman was standing against the wall, as if waiting for Spandain and the others. She was Nicole.Robin, Crocodile's most 'trusted' deputy.

"My lord..." After seeing Robin, the attendant hurried forward and said.

Robin waved his hand very accommodatingly and said, "Okay, you can go about your business." "Yes, my lord." The attendant replied, and then left quickly.

It wasn't until this moment that Robin looked at Spandine and Foz, who were also looking at him.Well, she smiled and said, "Mysterious CP-9?" Spandain had a slightly puzzled expression on his face. He always felt that the woman in front of him was very familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be an illusion.

In Robin's eyes, there were memories and regrets, and even resentment to some extent, but in the end, those resentments turned into nothingness.At this moment, Spandain's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a surprised expression: "It's you, O'Hara..."

However, before he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure, so he immediately stopped the rest of the words, and after a slight pause, he said in a deep voice, "Betrayer?"

Because of this, Spanda had already recognized this woman who looked familiar but had no recollection. He was in O'Hara back then under the orders of General Diarmuid...well, Diarmuid was still a lieutenant general at that time.

The little girl who was ordered to be delivered to the navy warship, if I remember correctly, should be called Nicole.Robin, he later learned, this Nicole.Robin, that's the scholar.Olbia's daughter.

She might even have been a scholar, even though she was only eight years old.

However, Spandain didn't say anything about these things, so he just didn't know.

As for what happened to the last survivor of O'Hara after he followed General Diarmuid, he also wisely never inquired about it or investigated it. This is a smart way.

But at this time, the little girl who was supposed to start a new life with General Diarmuid has now become an adult. Standing in front of her eyes, her identity is still under Crocodile's command. This made Spandain very surprised and puzzled.

He naturally suspected that Robin had betrayed General Diarmuid.

"Oh, do you recognize me? The demon that destroyed O'Hara..." Robin said softly.

"You should thank me for saving your life back then. As for destroying O'Hara or something, that's just a normal task in my career." Spandain said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Robin didn't argue with Spandain, O'Hara, O'Hara... That year, when O'Hara was destroyed, she was only eight years old. If there was no later experience, maybe O'Hara would become her The eternal pain in the heart and the invisible spiritual support?

But now, after all, she has changed a lot. She has subtly accepted the navy's thinking since she was a child, and her view of O'Hara has indeed changed a little.

Even if it didn't make her feel that O'Hara deserved it, she really didn't want to think about the complicated O'Hara incident back then.

Perhaps this is also a kind of escape.

Now, all she cares about is her mother, Olbia, who is imprisoned in Imperton.

"The one who saved my life was not you Spandine, but that admiral." Robin said softly.

Spandain's eyes changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

Robin didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "I remember you, not only because of O'Hara, but also because you seem to be the admiral's person?" "I belong to the CP- 9. It is an organization at the same level as the Navy...don't talk nonsense." Spandain retorted without hesitation.

And it was his rebuttal that made Robin nod and said, "That should be right." Spandain's expression didn't change, as if he was waiting for something.

Then, as expected, Robin said, "Member of the Naval Intelligence Department, number 1502, code name 'Scholar'." Spandain still didn't speak, just nodded.

Regarding this matter, after he left the rain banquet, he could definitely ask General Diarmuid to confirm the situation, so there was no need to ask questions here.

As for Robin revealing her identity to Spandain so easily, it wasn't because she was out of her wits, but because she had indeed confirmed with Diarmuid that this guy was someone she could trust.

I didn't discuss any intelligence matters here, and Spandain was going to wait until he figured out the situation, and then try to see if he can get in touch.

Met Nicole here.Robin, and this woman has revealed her identity as a navy, so that proves that perhaps Admiral Diarmuid also has arrangements here?

In short, after he figured out the situation, he had to get in touch with the general and ask what he was going to do in Alabasta.

The water here is really getting muddy.

Led by Robin, Spandain walked into the third basement floor without saying a word, and soon came to Crocodile's office.

When he and Foz.When Fo entered the office, he happened to see that guy Crocodile sitting at his desk, biting a cigar in his mouth, looking at himself and the others with a somewhat rebellious look in his eyes.

"CP-9, the rumored non-existent agency, the running dog of the world's right sign...isn't that right?" Crocodile said to Spandine in a very unceremonious tone.

Spandain was not angry at all, and glanced at the banana crocodile wandering around, then looked at Crocodile and said, "That's right, but if you want to talk about lackeys, don't you too? ...Sand crocodile. Crocodile, sir?"

Crocodile grinned at the corner of his mouth, with an evil smile on his face, but there was a murderous look in his eyes.

See him in that stance, Foz.Fu instinctively brought up the battle preparations, and the muscles on his body were tense.

But before Crocodile could speak, Spandain said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, Foz, Lord Crocodile will not have any dissatisfaction with me..."

"Really? It seems that you don't think I'm going to kill you here?" Crocodile looked at Spandain with a gloomy gaze.

"Of course, because all the signs show that your Excellency is a smart person, not to mention that you are also a member of the World Zhengfu banner, so why would you fight and kill when you meet?" Spandain said with a smile.

This made Crocodile look at him differently. Without a doubt, judging from Spandain's current momentum and temperament, Crocodile could easily see that this guy was very good.

But it seems to have something to rely on?

"Tell me about your purpose." Crocodile restrained his dangerous aura, changed his tone, and said a little calmly.

Seeing that Crocodile didn't seem to want to talk nonsense, Spandain also went straight to the point and said, "I am here on behalf of Mary Joia's will, and I have been authorized by the highest position. This time I came to Alabasta to cooperate with you. , Shichibukai under the king. Sand crocodile. Your Excellency Crocodile."

"I don't think I have anything to cooperate with your CP." Crocodile waved his hand.

His tone was a little cold.

"That may be because your Excellency has not realized your own situation and situation." Spandain said bluntly.

Crocodile just glanced at Spandine when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Spandain continued: "Two points. First, from the situation, we have obtained accurate information. The leader of the Song Ming Army, Monchi D. Dorag, has already led part of the Song Ming Army into the Alabasta, in the country of Alabasta, you are doomed to stand against each other, I think His Excellency Crocodile may want some powerful helpers when facing a difficult enemy like the Songming Army."

Crocodile was noncommittal, but instead asked, "What about the second point?"

"Second point, to put it bluntly, as your king Shichibukai, you have no right to reject Mary Gioia's will!" Spandain grinned and said in a bad tone.

When facing Diarmuid, this guy is submissive, but when facing Crocodile, he is extremely tough!

Perhaps this is what Spandain meant by 'taking advantage'? .

Chapter 338 Crocodile's King Shichibukai's Edict!

As soon as Spandain finished speaking, Crocodile's face became even more gloomy.

"Are you threatening me?" Crocodile said in a deep voice.

A stream of yellow sand spilled out of his body, floating up and down around him, as if in the next moment, as long as Spandain dissatisfied him, he would turn him into a mummy.

Spandain didn't respond at all, and said very calmly: "I'm just stating the laws and regulations of Shichibukai His Majesty. When necessary, Shichibukai His Majesty must cooperate with Mary Gioia's actions. I repeat, I will What I got was the highest authorization from Mary Joya, Mr. Crocodile, you should understand what this means, as long as I give a reasonable report, similar to...Your Excellency is not willing to cooperate with Mary Joya's actions, etc. Then I can immediately deprive you of the identity of Qiwuhai, the king!"

After a short pause, facing Crocodile's murderous gaze, Spandain continued: "If your excellency thinks that you no longer need the identity and position of His Majesty Shichibukai, then you can do it here, that is I don’t know, do you have the ability to kill all our CP-9 people in Alabasta, so as not to leak the news to Mary Gioia?”

Crocodile stared at Spandain for a long time with gloomy eyes, then he closed his eyes and suddenly laughed.

"Hahahahahahaha, interesting guy, are all of your CP agencies people like you? If that's the case, I doubt how powerful the Geming Army is to develop under your care. To this extent?" Crocodile asked with a big smile.

Spanda also laughed at this time, shook his head and said, "I came to Alabasta because I was better than my peers, didn't I?" "It makes sense." Crocodile nodded.

Although he didn't say anything clearly, Spandain already knew Crocodile's attitude.

This was not beyond his expectations, because Spandain was sure from beginning to end what choice Crocodile would make.

That's why he dared to be so tough.

"Sit." Crocodile said succinctly.

Spandain also sat down on the sofa in the room very unceremoniously, Foz.Fez stood quietly behind him, like a shadow and a bodyguard.

Nicole.Robin also went to pour a cup of tea for Spandine very naturally.Then, she glanced at Crocodile and said, "Do I need to avoid it?" Crocodile was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Spandain also realized something through this little action, Nicole.Robin seems to be trusted by Crocodile, but in fact, this trust is reserved.

But it's not surprising. In the CP agency, the analysis of Crocodile's behavior and personality also shows that this guy seems to have an unusual distrust of other people because of his previous experiences.After just a moment, Crocodile shook his head and said, "Let's listen to it together."

Robin didn't talk nonsense, nodded, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat quietly on the other side of the sofa, ready to listen to the plan of the CP agency.

"As the king's Shichibukai, of course I am very happy to serve Marie Gioia. Before that, I just wanted to see what kind of quality the person who came here on behalf of Marie Gioia's will is. Please..." Crocodile paused at this point. Spandyne answered naturally: "Spandyne, CP-9 commander. " "Yes, please Mr. Spandyne don't mind. "Crocodile followed up.

Spandain nodded with a smile and said, "It's all for Mary Gioia, it's nothing."

Crocodile didn't say anything more when he saw this. It was already rare for him to say such a thing.

"So, about Marie Gioia, those big shots, what do you want me to cooperate with you? Is it a plan to eradicate the Song Ming Army in Alabasta? With all due respect, this is not easy to handle..." Crocodile remained calm asked.

Crocodile also thinks that Marie Gioia's people shouldn't be so brainless as to force him to give him such a fantasy task, right?

Sure enough, Spandain shook his head and said: "No, the Songming Army is a difficult organization, so Marie Gioia did not hope to eradicate them in Alabasta at once. Of course, if in Alabasta Bastan has enough chances and we don't mind trying."

"So, what are you going to do?" Crocodile nodded and asked again.

"One, of course, is to destroy the plans and intentions of the Song Ming Army in Alabasta. At present, we tentatively decide that the Song Ming Army wants to overthrow Alabasta's kingship, or want to seize control of Alabasta. Personally, I am inclined to the latter possibility, and I even have reason to believe that the Naferutali clan has formed a cooperative relationship with the Geming Army." Spandain said.

Crocodile's expression changed, his brows frowned slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The Geming Army has been subverting the royal power and sweeping up the nobles all over the world. The Naferutali family is the largest noble in Alabasta. They will Cooperate with the Song Commander? That guy Cobra will make such a choice? If he really cooperates with the Song Commander, then his precarious authority in Alabasta's aristocratic class will collapse immediately!"

"Although this sounds unbelievable, in fact, Alabasta's problems are far more complicated than you imagined. If you take the liberty to ask, Your Excellency Crocodile has known, or knows the real situation of the Naferutali family. Bloodline?" Spandyne asked.

"I have heard that the Naferutali family is one of the descendants of the twenty kings. I am very surprised. They should have lived in Mariejoa, high above the clouds. Why... so? However, because of my concerns about their bloodlines, some of the actions I have taken in Alabasta tend to be more gentle." Crocodile said slowly.
