A quarter of an hour later,

Crocodile had two panda eyes, his cigar was cut in half, and he followed Sarutobi Hiruzen into the ship.

"This guy..."

"Why are you making more progress than me?!"

Crocodile felt a dull pain in his eyes and body, as he had just been hit hard by Sarutobi Hiruzen's weapon.

"Is it a monster?!"

Crocodile felt that his strength had improved rapidly, even compared to the original Sarutobi Hiruzen and Momo Usagi.

Crocodile knew it when he came. Even if he hadn't defeated Sarutobi Hiruzen this time, he could still hold out for a long time and even be evenly matched.

When the time comes, won't it be even more satisfying for you to change from the position of a subordinate to a cooperative alliance?

But reality gave Crocodile a hard blow.

The speed at which Hiruzen Sarutobi became stronger increased exponentially, and Crocodile was defeated even more miserably than before.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even use his ability to control the sea water to restrain the Shasha Fruit. He only used a pair of physical fists and light escape to beat Crocodile to the north.

Crocodile's ambition slowly fell silent,

'We still have to become stronger!'

Crocodile looked fierce,

‘Where is the Pirate King crawling at other people’s feet?!’

Sarutobi Hiruzen took Crocodile aboard the boat. No matter what the beaten guy thought, he asked directly.

"You have to embark on the Grand Line again..."

"Do you have any candidates for the crew?"

The Pirate King naturally wants to conquer the Grand Line, so Hiruzen Sarutobi plans to support Crocodile as the Pirate King and completely end Wang Luffy's dream.

Wang Luffy pursues One Piece as the main thread running through this world. If it can be changed clearly, the amount of space-time source energy obtained will naturally be astronomical.

Of course, killing Luffy is also one of the ways to change the plot.

But Luffy himself is just a single-cell adventurer with an extremely powerful background. Killing him would be equivalent to becoming an enemy of most forces.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is not a good choice.

"Mr.1 has good qualifications and is also practicing hard. He has developed armed domineering..."

Crocodile said,

"But the qualifications of the rest of the Baroque Working Group are very ordinary."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded,

Mr.1, Crocodile's former subordinate, also had the impression that he was a person with abilities who had eaten the Zhanzhan Fruit, and had a calm and reliable personality.

He was also the strongest person under Crocodile before, so there was no need to consider his qualifications or loyalty.

The Zhanzhan Fruit is definitely a fruit with potential in this world where swordsmen rule.

Immediately afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought Crocodile to the deck.

"boss"

Nico Robin was reading a book on the deck. When she saw Sarutobi Hiruzen coming, she quickly said hello.

"And the former boss"

"When did you arrive at Shampoo Land?"

Crocodile snorted coldly and did not reply.

Ever since Nico Robin followed Sarutobi Hiruzen, she liked to call him her former boss, as if she was teasing him.

"Move those guys I captured before"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered,

Nico Robin nodded, activated his abilities, and lifted out several strange-looking guys.

He is indeed a member of the Blackbeard Pirates,

I have to say that Blackbeard still has some luck. Whether it is the crew members he recruited at the beginning or later, they all still have great potential.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about making full use of it and knew how to save.

I just want to recover them all and use them for the cause of One Piece.

"These guys all have good qualifications, but they were members of other pirate groups before..."

"Whether you can get them to follow you or not depends on your ability."

"Laosha"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, saying that I have found all the people for you, and you can handle the rest by yourself.

Crocodile looked at the unruly and imposing guys on the ground and smiled coldly.

Naturally, he is not a good person, and he has no ties to his subordinates.

He even knows how to deal with these vicious guys.

Ten minutes later,

These members of the Blackbeard Pirates were untied one after another, and then stood behind Crocodile.

These guys are outlaws, so they naturally have no ties to guys like Blackbeard.

When you meet someone stronger, you will naturally surrender.

Suddenly a bell rang,

"Moxi moxi.."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen answered the phone,

"The Shichibukai meeting is about to begin?! Where are you?"

"Come here quickly!"

"Otherwise, I will ask you to voluntarily give up the position of Shichibukai!"

Warring States only said this and hung up the phone, looking very angry.

"It's really merciless...Warring States Period"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care, today was indeed the day when the Shichibukai gathered together.

It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't in a hurry.

"Let's go, everyone"

"Let's get ready to see the most luxurious war in the world!"

Malinfando,

In the conference room of the Navy Headquarters,

The Warring States Marshal sat on it with a serious look on his face, while Garp sat beside him with his nostrils pressed, looking like he was doing nothing.

Sitting below were several strange figures.

"Speaking of which, why are the ranks of the Shichibukai getting smaller and smaller each time?"

“It’s so boring”

Doflamingo wore sunglasses and a pink feather fabric, squatting on a chair very casually, teasing out of boredom,

"And none of the interesting guys came..."

"Krokdal was also removed from the list."

Except for Crocodile being removed from the list and Moria being killed by Blackbeard, it is true that the rest of the Shichibukai

The Empress, Jinbei, Hawkeye, and Bear are all taciturn characters, or women who are difficult to talk to.

It's very boring for Doflamingo.

"The Shichibukai is not easy to do either..."

"I am often provoked by others because of the name of the Shichibukai"

Jinbei looked like a fish-man and said in a deep voice,

"Fortunately, I still have some clumsy skills."

A voice as clear and clear as a nightingale sounded,

"Not everyone is worthy of being placed side by side with me."
