I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

And he not only hides his tyrannical strength, but also hides his deep scheming and grand and careful plans under his low-key appearance.

Crocodile, just like his nickname, looks like a crocodile hiding its body in the water.

When he hadn't shown his fangs to attack, he was as low-key as a dead wood floating on the water. But when the opponent entered his attack range, the crocodile suddenly launched a thunderous surprise attack. As long as the prey was bitten by the bloody mouth, it was often difficult to escape bad luck.

Lindemann completely restrained the trace of arrogance and disdain in his heart.

This move alone is enough to make him admit that Crocodile is a difficult opponent.

And the various targeted preparations made by the other party in advance also showed that the owner of this rainy land casino was not as assured of their visit as it seemed on the surface.

Pushing open the heavy golden nanmu door, the attendant bowed respectfully towards the room, and waited politely for the navy and his party to enter before closing the door again.

The suddenly open space catches everyone's eyes. This is a very spacious big house, with high-end leather sofas, elegant coffee tables, and a beautiful white piano placed on the platform...all these signs show that the house The master's generous life and unconventional aristocratic taste.

In the house, which is half the size of a football field, several floor-to-ceiling special glass windows are placed like an aquarium. There are several reptile species unique to Alabasta - banana alligators, swimming leisurely in the water.

"I'm still guessing when you'll come to say hello to me, Lieutenant General Lindemann."

A deep and magnetic bass sounded quietly from the end of a long table that could be called gorgeous.

The high chair with its back facing everyone slowly turned to the direction of the main entrance, and only then did the figure of the previous voice owner appear.

The man had a well-combed and shiny back hair. From his face, there was a long and narrow scar that almost crossed the entire cheek, extending almost to his ear.

Where it should have been the left hand, it was replaced by a gorgeous golden hook with a pirate breath.

At first glance, this handsome middle-aged man does not seem to be half of the sloppy image of a pirate, but instead reminds me of an elegant and well-behaved aristocratic family.

He is wearing a black fur coat with an orange plaid long-sleeved shirt underneath.

This person even carefully adorned a delicate snow-blue scarf around his neck.

It is none other than the great pirate who ranks among the Shichibukai under kings—【Sand Crocodile】Mr. Crocodile!

The hero grinned and straightened up from his comfortable seat. He spread his arms as if to greet him, as if he was greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years: "Lieutenant General Lindemann, it's been a while since you arrived in Alabasta, right? Hello, why don't you give me a chance to show my kindness as a landlord?"

These words revealed a sense of domineering in addition to the politeness, not to mention the identity of the host, but also compared the navy to an uninvited villain with a clever metaphor.

"Oh, you will consider yourself the master.

But it seems that in Alabasta, you Crocodile is also a guest, right? "The big spy of the expeditionary army just sneered when he heard the words, and asked pointedly.

The big pirate is naturally clear about Lindemann's questioning of the gun and stick in his words. He turned a deaf ear to Lindemann's implied slander, and took advantage of the situation to retort:

"But how did I hear that you have been shut down several times by His Majesty King Cobra? It seems that the 'master' of this country does not welcome the navy, does it?"

In the transition between the probing and irony of the two sides, the navy and the king Shichibukai started a not very friendly opening, and they showed a bit of sarcasm inadvertently.

As for who the word "master" in Crocodile's mouth refers to, it is even more unknown.

"Oh? It seems that your intelligence channels are wide enough, what? Does the great pirate of the Shichibukai, the king, have 'manpower' in the imperial capital?" Lindeman continued the information contained in the other party's last sentence, and tried Throwing out a topic full of hints, trying to lure the crocodile to expose more flaws to the Navy.

But how could Crocodile fall into such a small trap with his long history and world-class vision and experience?

Pretending not to understand the implication of the fox's words, Crocodile just smiled, and cleverly responded to this question by evading the truth: "I am the hero of this country, so naturally there are enthusiastic and lovely witnesses who pass on the message to me. 'Various' messages."

Before Lindemann could continue to fight with her, a lively female voice full of smirks and coquettishness sounded from the seat next to Crocodile:

"Mr. Fox~ Why do you only care about talking to Mr. Crocodile? This really makes me feel very sad."

"Koko Umit, why does a busy person like you appear here?" Lindeman looked at this coldly, because this little white fur, who is not very particular, is almost glued to the whole person at this moment. Come on yourself.

He had no idea that this big entrepreneur who was both black and white would show up here. At the same time, Lindemann, who was delicate and thoughtful, expressed a little bit of doubt about this person's intentions.

Although he already knew that the Umit family had a close personal relationship with these Shichibukai, the fact that Kou Kou chose to appear in Crocodile's base at such a sensitive moment still caused some questions in the fox's mind that urgently needed to be answered by the other party.

【Could it be that... She and the Umit Chamber of Commerce she represents are also involved in this dispute?】

【Then, what is her position?】

"Lieutenant General Lindeman, don't forget what this female fox's old profession is." Robin was the first to react, and slowly raised her hand to pull the wealthy businessman off Lindeman's neck.

She stared angrily at the little hoof that was trying to stick to her body: "Your nose is really good, Koko.

Alabasta is so far from the New World that you smell of war, you unscrupulous arms dealer. "

473. City of Storms (Part 2)

The two young women who have gained a great status and gained great fame at a young age are looking at each other seriously at this moment.

There are many people who compare the two, but most of the time, they will be mistaken for long-lost sisters.

Perhaps the appearance and physical signs of the two are different, but they are about the same age.

But bystanders who are familiar with the way these two people behave can always look at them, as if they can see each other's shadow.

Other than that, think of nothing else.

The two seem to be glued to each other, but they are not as harmonious as everyone expected.

Robin's dark blue pupils reflected the figure of the little white fur in front of him.

Excessively fair skin was almost sickly pale.

It’s like God, the painter, when shaping the character of Koko Umit, he only cared about depicting his exquisite appearance, but completely forgot about the subsequent coloring process.

Even though she was wearing this expensive plain white suit, it was far from the pale complexion of Kou Kou himself.

The little white hair standing gracefully in front of his eyes is not so much a fluffy fox, but more like a white python that chooses to eat people.

While staring at this dreadful little thing, the female military general who made fun of Koko Umit obviously had something to say: "I think you are not only here to sell arms to the [King's Army], right?"

"Hey~ Look at what you said. Robin sauce, it's a big taboo to sell arms to both parties." The arms dealer, who is used to flirting with others, smiled more and more at the corners of his mouth.

Kou Kou also stared closely at Robin's eyes, trying to imprint the appearance of this outstanding leader of the new generation of navy in her mind.

Her wheat-like healthy complexion is the result of her years of exposure to the sun and ultraviolet rays during sea battles.

The clean and tidy grooming without any makeup clearly reveals his identity as a soldier.

Combining the previous vigorous questioning mode and vicious eyes, Kou Kou mistakenly thought that he saw an evil dragon entrenched under the root of the sky support tree, sharpening its edge.

"Big taboo?" Seemingly remembering something, Robin's gentle smile slowly turned cold: "Why do I think you have no taboos all the time?"

Maintaining a symbolic smile, the big businessman took advantage of the situation to place himself in the position of the innocent victim:

"How do you say that? I've been obediently helping the Navy run errands secretly~"
