One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Abandoned factory building.

Bah... sizzling! squeak--

There was a disorderly and harsh noise coming from the phone bug on the ground, and the previous multi-person communication was completely inaudible.

To be on the safe side, Crocodile did not choose to pick up the phone bug, but squatted down to investigate it carefully.

"Switched to another communication channel...?"

"So many people caused turmoil in the Capital of Seven Waters?"

"It seems that the information on [ancient weapons] is also true and false..."

"..."

Crocodile murmured to himself, already having a judgment in his heart.

There is a high probability that the rumors about the "train engine" were fabricated by the World Government.

The purpose of doing this is nothing more than an excuse to maintain the tranquility of the Seven Waters Capital, force people to move in, and further investigate Tom's studio!

From this, we can also see another point——

The information left behind by the Golden Lion is correct, Tom's Studio is indeed related to [Ancient Weapons]!

"Hehehehe..."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Crocodile crushed the communicator on the phone bug with his foot, and then couldn't help laughing.

The feast of clues is just around the corner, now we just need to get rid of the "foam" on it!

"People from the World Government..."

At this moment, Crocodile has already thought of the next steps.

"First, we need to kill the government agents scattered throughout the Seven Waters Capital."

"After that, avoid the Navy Recruit Camp and ask for clues about the [Ancient Weapon] from Tom."

"We must move quickly. We must get all this done before the World Government's support arrives, and then leave the Capital of Seven Waters as soon as possible!"

"..."

With his eyes moving slightly, Crocodile lit a new cigar.

"Every step is troublesome, but this is the only way..."

The gravel surges.

Crocodile's figure disappeared and began to wander around the Capital of Seven Waters.

…

This is bound to be a difficult operation.

Unlike those in Elegia or Alabasta, the primary goal of this group of agents now is to hide in the dark and cause chaos.

This means that they will not show up on their own initiative.

The search has become the biggest difficulty!

The terrain of the Capital of Seven Waters is inherently complicated, and there are a large number of waterways scattered throughout.

Crocodile was not familiar with the city, had no accurate information, and still needed to maintain the identity of the King Shichibukai and could not expose himself, which greatly restricted the use of his power.

…

Uh-huh!

In the shadows, a golden hook streaked across, stabbing a government agent half to death.

Crocodile grabbed the man's collar and asked:

"Hey, how many people have infiltrated this city?"

"..."

The government agent didn't say much, but tried to fight back with all his remaining strength. Crocodile had no choice but to deal with the opponent.

"Tsk, it's the 'elite'..."

After all, it's about [ancient weapons], and Crocodile can understand.

In desperation, Crocodile could only choose the last resort and used the most "stupid" method.

He spread the gravel as much as possible and explored everywhere in the Capital of Seven Waters, intending to conduct a large-scale search like a street stall by himself!

…

the other side.

Under the No. 5 Dockyard Bridge, Tom's Studio.

Everyone returned here for a short period of repair.

The navy recruits were responsible for escorting the thugs and temporarily detained them in a camp near the bridge, awaiting further questioning and trial.

Lindsay, Zefa and others had a rare break.

"..."

Lindsay waved, took Tom aside, and took out a phone bug.

The same one Crocodile crushed, both taken from government agents hiding in the mob.

呲——Zhi! Kaka...

The communication channel was switched, and a series of noises came from the phone bug's mouth.

Lindsay asked: "Can this phone bug be used to trace back to other signal sources?"

"Tahahahahaha, this is really loud and difficult!"

Tom rubbed his chin and thought about many things.

He is a very open-minded person and seems carefree, but he is not the kind of guy who is single-minded.

How could a brainless person protect Pluto's design for many years?

So the key to the question is how Tom "chooses".

First, the world government cannot be trusted;

Secondly, those navy people are not bad, but the navy must ultimately obey the command of the World Government;

Finally, the world government is extremely untrustworthy!

No matter what the purpose of the four mysterious visitors, at least their initial choice was to "help Tom Studio" to gain the opportunity to negotiate, rather than to "threaten".

"..."

Those who prioritize solving the world government are the focus!

"All right!"

Tom nodded, took the phone bug from Lindsay's hand, then came to the workbench and spread out the map of the Seven Waters.

The work begins!

…

Ode!

Six-style finger gun!

The fingers wrapped in armed domineering thrust out and scratched Crocodile's calf, almost succeeding in the sneak attack.

Crocodile turned around and kicked, the sole of his foot turned into a short sharp blade, and penetrated the sneak attacker with one blow.

The rustling fruit ability is activated!

Looking at the fallen mummy, Crocodile left a few drops of sweat on his forehead and sneered:

"Hehehe, this job is really not easy..."

Take out the map.

After marking the places that have been cleaned, there are still many left.

Crocodile twisted his neck and let out a long sigh.

"The Navy is still on the island."

"The primitive people are making too much noise. We can't count on them now. They can only rely on me."

"..."

…

He is worthy of being the world's top shipbuilder, and his own "technology" is absolutely excellent.

Lindsay took the drawing.

Looking at the locations marked above, I couldn't help but admire: "You marked all the signal sources in just ten minutes?"

"Tahahahaha, a man must keep his word!"

Tom patted Lindsay on the shoulder and said in a deep voice:

"Brother, I roughly know what you are looking for, so I can't make an exact promise."

"But no matter what the purpose is, what you are doing now is to protect the city of Seven Waters."

"So - at least now, I thank you loudly!"

"..."

…

"Huh...huh..."

Crocodile took a few deep breaths.

Elementalization on a large scale in a city full of "water" would take far more energy than he expected!

While searching for strongholds, try to eliminate opponents as quickly as possible.

Although the battles were all near misses, the enemies were all government agents after all, and Crocodile couldn't use his full strength, so he would inevitably get injured occasionally.

Blood marks were left on his legs, chest, arms, and even his cheeks and forehead.

It's not very serious, but it's really embarrassing.

But the busy work is always worth it.

Crocodile took out the map and looked at the red crosses one after another, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was really troublesome to search, but we finally solved all their strongholds!"

"The few remaining scattered individuals are nothing to worry about."

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

Click!

The phone in my arms rang, it was Alvin Lindsay calling.

"Hehehehe..."

After answering the call, Crocodile first sneered and mocked Lin Dao:

"Hey, primitive man, you probably don't know what I discovered or what I did."

"I really don't know."

Lindsay was very calm, then changed the subject and said:

"Stop talking about that now, come and help with some things."

"No, I want to say first-"

"You wait first."

Lindsay interrupted Crocodile and said in a deep voice:

"You have a map of the Seven Waters Capital in your hand, right?"

"There are still many people in the World Government, hiding in strongholds throughout the Seven Waters Capital, always ready to cause unrest. We must solve it as soon as possible."

"The signal sources of all the strongholds have been found, but the movement caused by my action is too great, so I can only leave it to you."

"The following are the detailed locations of each stronghold..."

"..."

…

After a while, Lindsay finished speaking and then asked doubtfully: "I've finished talking about my business, what do you want?"

Crocodile: "..."

Crocodile: "No, I'm fine."

"Fine."

Lindsay was a little confused and finally hung up the phone.

Crocodile: "..."

He took a puff on his cigar and savored it in silence for a minute.

About a minute later, Crocodile picked up the phone and contacted Lindsay again.

Lindsay wondered: "What happened?"

Crocodile said calmly: "I have removed all the spy strongholds in the Capital of Seven Waters."

Lindsay: "..."

Lindsay: "?!"

Lindsay couldn't help but admired sincerely: "It's amazing!"

"Hehehehe..."

Crocodile sneered and couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Accidentally, he touched the wound on his forehead again, and the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching.

"hiss……"

…

Undersea prison, Impel Down City.

The sixth level - infinite hell.

This is a dead space that will never see the light of day!

At this moment, a group of World Government officials, led by the jailer, rushed straight to a man's cell.

In the dim cell, a burly man shackled with sea tower stone slowly opened his eyes.

"Is it coming? The World Government..."

He grinned, exuding an extreme sense of oppression that could shake the entire sea!

"I'm quite interested -"

"In this sea, set off the 'strongest' wolf smoke!"
