The old man was very happy.

Whiskey Peak, on the surface, is a town that welcomes pirates.

In fact, it is a gathering place for bounty hunters, affiliated with Baroque Studio.

The mayor of the town is a middle-aged man with big curly hair, codenamed Mr. 8.

At this time, the middle-aged man was leading the townspeople to express a warm welcome to the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Wow! There is actually such a town that welcomes pirates?"

Usopp, who has always been very vain, was very surprised.

"Wow! There are so many beautiful ladies, it's really a nice place!"

Sanji was also fascinated by the many beauties who winked at him.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect there would be such an interesting place in the Grand Line."

Luffy also laughed with his hands on his hips. He was the first to accept this outrageous setting without much brains.

As for the remaining three members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Bai Ye looked thoughtfully at the blue-haired girl hiding aside.

Zoro crossed his arms and thought seriously about something.

"That's great, uncle!"

Nami showed a very surprised expression on her face and walked quickly towards the mayor.

Suddenly, Nami pinched a talisman from her chest and pasted it on the forehead of the mayor, Mr. 8, at lightning speed.

It was the puppet talisman that Bai Ye used to control Ajo and Shioyaki in Cocosia Village.

"Nami!" X2

Luffy and Usopp were the first to exclaim. They didn't understand such behavior at all.

"Are you guys idiots?"

Nami turned around and cursed: "How can there be a place in this world that welcomes pirates?"

Then, Nami turned around and looked at the mayor who had been controlled with a smile:

"Then, tell me everything here and your identity."

Soon, the middle-aged man revealed the truth that although this place seemed to welcome pirates, it was actually to kill pirates and take treasures.

Usopp and Luffy were stunned.

Sanji also quickly regained his sanity, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he rushed into the crowd and quickly defeated the bounty hunter who was about to take action.

Just when everyone thought the truth had been revealed, the middle-aged man said something even more terrifying:

"My apparent identity is the mayor of this town, but in fact I am a senior executive of Baroque Studio, codenamed Mr. 8."

"And underneath these two identities, I also hide my true identity——"

"Captain of the Alabasta Kingdom's guard——Ikalem!!!"

"Nani!!!" X100+

This time, not only Luffy and the others were surprised, but even the bounty hunter who had been defeated by Sanji was also surprised.

"Hey, Ikalem, what's wrong with you?"

The blue-haired girl, Mr. Wednesday, who was hiding aside, rushed out.

"Who is she?"

Nami asked subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Ikalem immediately gave the answer:

"She led me to infiltrate Baroque Studio, our Alabasta Kingdom's Princess Vivi!!!"

"Nani!!!" (Anyway, everyone was shocked again.)

In less than ten minutes, everyone learned a bizarre story.

When the Alabasta Kingdom was in civil strife, Princess Vivi learned about the existence of Baroque Studio.

She decided to go undercover and infiltrate, and step by step became a senior cadre.

They also finally learned recently that the boss behind the Baroque Studio said to build an ideal country.

In fact, it is to steal the power of the Alabasta Kingdom.

I have to say, this is really——

"Hahaha, it's so interesting, is there such a thing?"

Luffy was the first to express his opinion.

"Is it a conspiracy between the kingdom and the bounty hunter organization?"

Sanji lit a cigarette and sighed:

"It seems that we know something incredible."

"Stop talking nonsense,"

Nami interrupted them: "Anyone who has the guts to steal the power of a kingdom must be someone we can't afford to offend."

"So we should gather enough magnetism here and leave here as soon as possible."

It has to be said that Nami's idea is very correct.

Just...

"Uncle, who is that person?"

Luffy turned his head and asked casually.

"No!"

Nami exclaimed and was about to take off the talisman on Ikalem's head.

But it was too late...

"He is the Seven Warlords of the Sea, with a bounty of 81 million Baileys [Sand Crocodile]-Crocodile!!!"

Ikalem's loud singing voice resounded throughout the town.

At this moment, the bounty hunter who was still in shock suddenly showed an expression of "I'm going to die".

"Strange, why did these guys suddenly become like this?"

Sanji looked puzzled.

"I think it should be because of the two guys up there."

Bai Ye's voice sounded, and his finger pointed at two animals on the roof not far from the crowd.

A sea otter and a vulture.

"Unlucky combination!"

Princess Vivi, whose identity was exposed, was full of despair.

"They are cadres who are specifically responsible for conveying information to Crocodile."

As soon as the voice fell, the thing that looked like a sea otter showed everyone several portraits.

"Well, the painting is quite good."

Usopp looked at the Straw Hat Pirates in the portrait and subconsciously commented.

But he suddenly thought of something: "Hey, hey, hey, isn't this equivalent to treating us as enemies too?"

"We must stop them... Zoro!!!"

Just as Usopp was about to take out the slingshot, the sea otter and the vulture had two knives on their necks, and cold sweat instantly broke out on their foreheads.

Zoro said:

"Can you please not move?"

In fact, Zoro, who had awakened his Observation Haki, discovered the existence of the two animals as soon as they appeared.

That's why he was able to appear in time.

"Zoro is sometimes a very reliable person."

Nami couldn't help but sigh.

But she then looked at Ikarem and said, "Only 81 million berries?"

"Bai Ye has a bounty of 100 million, and Luffy has 60 million berries. Is the Crocodile you mentioned really that powerful?"

Ikarem was first surprised at the experience of being controlled just now, and after hearing Nami's question, he explained:

"It's not like that."

"After Crocodile became a Shichibukai, he will no longer be bountied, so the bounty has never increased."

"And he is also a natural sand-sand fruit ability user. Not only can he set off a huge sandstorm, but he also has the characteristic of never being hit."

Ikarem thought that after he said this, he would make the people in front of him realize the seriousness of the problem.

But what he didn't expect was that the people in front of him did not show the fear he imagined.

"What? He's just a natural fruit user."

Usopp, who had already broadened his horizons, was not too nervous after hearing this:

"If that's all, it's no wonder that Crocodile's bounty is only 81 million."

Ikarem, Princess Vivi: Only... only 81 million!!!
