The Black Duke of the Pirate

"We're here." Bowness said, and everyone stopped in front of the huge building.

"The BOSS is already waiting for you."

After entering the hall, Reinhard suddenly felt a powerful aura.

A streak of quicksand as sharp as a scimitar cut through it.

Before anyone could react, the quicksand blade passed directly through Reinhardt's body.

"Brother!" Mozer roared angrily. He was shocked when he saw the figure that appeared. He took out the spear he was carrying and pointed it at the figure that suddenly appeared.

Meister, Bulat and Bender also reacted at the same time, preparing to rush forward and kill the man immediately.

However, everyone suddenly realized that what the quicksand blade cut through was just the shadow left by Reinhardt. The shadow turned into a faint blue light and dissipated in the air under the sand blade.

The man was slightly startled when he saw this, then he smiled and walked out, just in time to face Reinhard who suddenly appeared.

The golden hook in his left hand suddenly swung and struck directly towards Reinhard's heart.

Bang... The sound of metal crisping spread in the hall, and Reinhardt held the blade of his left hand behind his back, directly blocking his attack.

"Your subordinates are very capable and loyal." The man showed a smile.

"Humph, you sand crocodile is so rude."

Reinhard looked at the man in front of him with a cigar in his mouth and stitching scars on his face.

"Is this how you treat guests? Crocodile..."

This man who suddenly appeared was Crocodile, the current King Shichibukai and the president of Baroque Works.

"Ha ha ha..." Seeing Reinhard blocking his attack easily, Crocodile immediately laughed, "I just wanted to test it."

"Test what?"

"Of course, we want to see if you have the qualifications to stand on the same level as us."

"What about now?" Reinhard asked.

"With the strength you have shown, of course there is no problem."

The two of them put away their weapons.

"This is the new King Shichibukai, the King of the North Sea from the North Sea, Reinhardt with the title of [Black Duke]?"

At this time, a magnetic female voice suddenly came.

"You are the devil's son who has a bounty of 79 million Baileys on his head by the World Government...Nicole Robin?"

The woman's face was suddenly startled, and she suddenly lost her usual calmness.

She didn't expect that Reinhard would reveal his true identity as soon as they met.

"Don't be nervous. Since you are Lao Sha's, I will not reveal this secret to the outside world." Reinhardt walked over, and Nico Robin's dark eyes met with his, and a huge feeling surged in his heart.

The vibrations in the depths of this man's eyes seemed to be like abyss with huge magical power, constantly attracting her attention.

"She is the vice president of Baroque Works, Miss Allsunday!" Crocodile said. Nicole Robin was the person he personally recruited into Baroque Works. Naturally, he knew the wanted identity of Nicole Robin.

, but this is nothing. Being offered a bounty by the World Government is a symbol of honor and strength. Besides, he is the King of the Shichibukai, so naturally he is not afraid of this being exposed.

"Then I want to congratulate you, Lao Sha, you have recruited a talented person." Reinhard immediately laughed.

Crocodile also smiled and didn't pay much attention to the weird name "Old Sha" in Reinhard's mouth. Nicole Robin is definitely a talent, not because of her strength, but because she has the ability to read ancient documents.

ability.

Crocodile looked at the companions around Reinhardt. He could tell that these people were members of the Reinhardt Working Group reported by the World Economic News. Although he could not see their specific strength, they

Being able to defeat the Puppet Spirits and Color Knights under the Evil Spirit Pirates, I think he is quite powerful.

It seems that he made the right choice to cooperate with Reinhardt in the early years, but his plan is about to be officially implemented.

Crocodile communicated with Reinhard individually.

In a certain room.

"I need a lot of weapons, armor, ammunition, medicine, and dancing powder."

Crocodile said slowly that it was not difficult to understand that he needed these things. Naturally, he wanted to overthrow the regime of the Kingdom of Alabasta. However, things like dancing powder were prohibited from production and sale by the World Government.

Reinhard smiled and shook his head: "I don't have any dancing fans here, you have to find Doflamingo."

"That turkey?" Crocodile became angry when he thought of Doflamingo's extremely arrogant look, but he still had to find banned items like dancing powder. After all, that guy had been operating in the underground world for many years.

And with a special status like a Celestial Dragon, there must be a way to get such a thing.

Dancing fans are something you can't get anywhere in the world. Apart from Doflamingo, there probably aren't many people in the world who can get them.

"If you look for Doflamingo, our deal may not be able to continue." Looking at Crocodile's confused eyes, Reinhardt continued, "You know, like weapons, ammunition, and armor

, medicines and other things are Doflamingo’s main smuggled products, he won’t just cooperate with you as a dancing fan.”

"Your weapons are of high quality and low price. Of course I choose to cooperate with you. As for that turkey, who cares about him?" Crocodile sneered disdainfully.

After hearing this, Reinhard smiled. He was very confident in the family's improved weapons and ammunition, and he never worried about sales.

"I can help you get dancing powder, and I can also provide you with a continuous supply of ammunition and weapons."

"Tell me what you want." Crocodile naturally knew that he was willing to risk providing such dancing fans that he did not have, so he must have other requirements.

"I don't know what plans you want to implement in Alabasta."

In fact, he knew, but he pretended not to know.

"But I think you must have been planning for so long because you want to get something important in Alabasta."

Reinhard said slowly. When his eyes focused on Crocodile's face, his expression had changed slightly.

"What did you guess?" Crocodile said with a cold face and a questioning tone.

"If I had to guess something, would I still tell you?" Reinhard chuckled, not paying attention to Crocodile's anger. He glanced at him again and continued, "Also, don't use it.

Looking at me like this, I am an equal collaborator with you, not your subordinate."

"Go on, tell me your request."

"There are no other requirements, just a promise from you." Reinhard said slowly, "Promise yourself!"
