The Black Duke of the Pirate

The most important thing is that the structure of Sand Crocodile Crocodile is much bigger than that of Doflamingo. Although his temperament is equally extreme, ferocious, and even as evil as human scum, Sand Crocodile is not twisted, unlike Doflamingo.

Like Flamenco, he is extremely twisted and wants to destroy everything.

Thinking of this, Reinhard was quite speechless, so he sneered secretly. Since both of them are scum, why analyze their personalities so clearly? Even if Crocodile's personality is not twisted, he is still a man who does all kinds of evil.

How could he be any better than Doflamingo, a bastard?

"Kid, what are you laughing at?" Crocodile held his cigar in his mouth and glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied with his unintentional sneer.

"I laugh at you, Crocodile, a mighty Shichibukai, for actually taking action personally to help his subordinates who failed." Reinhardt said with a slight smile, "Is it because there is no one available?"

Maybe this guy doesn't have much manpower at all, and the people who have information channels all over the world are of no use in the Grand Line.

In other words, Crocodile, who has been a Shichibukai for many years, is still alone in his family. You must know that Doflamingo has just become a Shichibukai, and various departments of his family have already been established.

But Baroque Works currently only has one Bowness.

"You are right. My Baroque Works Society has not been established for a long time. Indeed, as you said, there is a lack of manpower, especially smart manpower." Crocodile replied, and then looked at Reinhard and was silent for a moment: "

You are a talented person, would you like to join Baroque Working Group and work for me?"

Faced with the olive branch offered by Crocodile at this time, Reinhardt was not surprised. He believed that both in terms of strength and IQ/structure, he was definitely the kind of talent Crocodile desperately needed, but he knew clearly in his heart

Knowing that Crocodile's upper limit is limited, if the Yonko team strongly invites him to join at this time, he may only consider it.

"Not long ago, Doflamingo also tried his best to invite me to join the Don Quixote family just like you, but I also rejected him." At this point, Reinhard smiled and then continued: "If you want to join someone else's team,

I joined long ago when I was at my weakest, so naturally I won’t wait until this time.”

"You mean you refused." Crocodile seemed to have expected this answer and was not angry.

Reinhardt shook his head: "It's not a rejection, but I prefer to negotiate with you as an equal collaborator, rather than a superior-subordinate relationship."

Are you kidding me, but he rejected Doflamingo's invitation, and even the invitation of Dorag, the supreme leader of the Revolutionary Army. That was the position of Chief of General Staff of the Revolutionary Army. Anyone else would have been tempted.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a brat like you who refused my invitation on this sea." Crocodile took a deep breath from his cigar and exhaled a trace of smoke. Seeing Reinhardt's expression, it seemed that this matter was not a problem.

Maybe, so he slowly said: "In that case, let's talk about your weapons business."

"My arms business is all over the North Sea. Before, I only wanted to delve into the arms trading market in the dark world of the North Sea. After meeting you, I have new ideas."

"After all, you are the powerful Shichibukai. Cooperating with you can help me successfully enter the arms trade into the Grand Line. And I can provide you with all the guns, artillery, swords, weapons, and soldier armors you want in the future, and at the same time satisfy you.

For multi-faceted needs, wherever there is war, I will provide you with the basis of weapons, and I can also provide logistical services for soldiers."

Reinhard said slowly, and then Crocodile cheered up and thought for a moment. If his plan was to be fully carried out, a large number of weapons would be needed.

Of course, as a Shichibukai, he also has arms channels in the Grand Line, but what he does in the future must be kept strictly confidential, especially not letting the Navy or even the world government know about it. The underground world of the Grand Line cannot be without CP department monitoring.

So Reinhardt, who is relatively weak in front of him, may be a good collaborator.

The most important thing is that this guy is not very strong and is easy to control.

Crocodile nodded, agreeing with the suggestion he made. After solving this problem, he could completely follow the plan he had in mind to reach the peak of that country's political power.

"Let's talk about the specific details."

The two talked for a long time, and finally, without giving in to each other, the result was barely acceptable to both parties.

Crocodile will temporarily set up a Baroque Works branch in the town of Whiskey Peak, specifically for secretly trading arms and weapons, while Reinhardt will transport a large amount of arms and weapons from the North Sea to this town for secretly trading.

Reinhardt doesn't care about the profit from this transaction. After all, money is no longer attractive to him. What he cares about is the opportunity to cooperate with Crocodile, who is a Shichibukai, because he also wants to take this opportunity to understand ancient weapons.

Pluto, what the hell is he? It would be great if he could take over the fruits of Crocodile's business after his failure.

After the conversation ended, both parties left their Nianbo numbers, and then Reinhardt left the tavern.

Crocodile watched Reinhardt leave, but Bonis next to him asked with some confusion: "Boss, are you really not going to kill this brat? The hero white in the hands of this brat is of huge benefit."

"Kill? We have more important things to do, we can't be indifferent." Crocodile shook his head, "Hero White can only make us richer. There are many things in this sea.

Pele can't buy anything, especially strength."

Crocodile knew very well that even if he got the agency rights of Hero White, it would only be a few more money from selling wine. It would not promote his plan in any way, and would instead waste a lot of time, energy and manpower.

He himself is short of manpower, let alone spend energy on this at this time.

From this point of view alone, Crocodile's situation is greater than that of Doflamingo, even though he failed earlier.

"This kid is very unusual. Even the proud turkey can be persuaded to cooperate with him. He is very skillful." Crocodile continued, "Anyway, we will wait and see."

Bowness nodded: "What should we do now?"

"First capture this town so that the Baroque Working Society can have a foothold. Our goal is Alabasta."

Crocodile took a sip of wine, then waved his hand, and a wad of banknotes appeared on the broken bar table of the middle-aged boss: "You can use these Baileys to repair the tavern."

The middle-aged boss shivered in shock: "No... no need."

"Take it." Crocodile's voice turned cold: "Rebuild the tavern. From now on, this will be a tavern covered by the Baroque Working Society."

After finishing speaking, Crocodile and Bowness strode away.

The middle-aged boss muttered to himself Baroque Works... Crocodile... Shichibukai.
