The Black Duke of the Pirate

Crocodile was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand: "Promise?"

"Yes. In the future, if you succeed in seeking the country, I need to obtain information about an item from you."

"Impossible!" Crocodile immediately refused. He knew his purpose all along. He would never share that thing with others. Although Reinhard knew his plan to build a country, he didn't know what he wanted.

something.

"Rejecting so quickly... Do you know what information I want to obtain?" Reinhardt looked at him, and then continued, "If you refuse, then you can go to Doflamingo's turkey to cooperate. For

For me, this is just an unexpected transaction episode. Whether or not this transaction exists has no impact on me."

Crocodile was silent for a long time, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.

"Just sharing the information on that thing with you?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Crocodile was suddenly shocked. He felt that he was being bypassed by Reinhardt, thus revealing "that thing" to Reinhardt...

"You bastard, are you trying to trick me?" Crocodile immediately became angry.

"You said it yourself, blame me?" Reinhard laughed, with a mocking expression on his face.

Even if Crocodile is angry at this time, he will not do it easily, because this transaction is very important to him.

"Let me think about it."

Although Crocodile looked calm, he was obviously in a state of hesitation. Compared to Doflamingo, he was more inclined to cooperate with Reinhardt, not only because Reinhardt could provide better weapons.

.

"I will only stay in Alabasta for half a day and leave when it gets dark. Tell me if you decide."

Reinhardt hasn't shown much eagerness to trade, so the initiative is in his hands.

Because Crocodile couldn't figure out Reinhard's purpose, he didn't dare to make a decision easily. Of course, this matter didn't necessarily require Reinhard's cooperation. He could also find traders through other channels in the dark world.

, but the private cooperation between the two in the past few years has been very smooth.

This topic is not currently being discussed.

"It seems like you are traveling to the Grand Line this time." Crocodile continued to ask, but he was very interested in Reinhard's purpose of taking the core family members to the Grand Line.

Reinhard chuckled and said, "Of course, heading to the new world."

"The new world is the stage for people like us. You stay in the front half of the Grand Line all day, and you are wasting your body."

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it. It's just a paradise. Even if my strength is reduced to only one tenth, I can still sweep across the paradise."

It hasn't changed at all, he's still as arrogant as ever.

The two of them didn't have much to talk about. As a veteran of the Shichibukai, Crocodile naturally had his own arrogance, and he became famous at a young age. Although he was defeated miserably in the battle with Whitebeard, it was Whitebeard after all, and he couldn't

He allowed others to point fingers at him, not to mention that Reinhard was just a brat who had just become a Shichibukai.

In the royal city of Albanana, Reinhard and Mozer were wandering around, Meister went to purchase local musical instrument scores, Brat went to the weapons store to try his luck, and Band led the soldiers to purchase food and water sources everywhere.

The royal city is very prosperous, and the living standard of the residents seems to be relatively high. Everyone has a happy smile on their face. It is difficult to associate it with the future Alabasta. It seems that the Naferutali family is a family that loves its people like children.

royal family.

Alabasta was played by Crocodile in applause, and the responsibility could not be entirely passed on to the royal family. After all, he was facing the cunning Crocodile. This guy was cautious by nature, and his city was extremely deep. He could even subvert a kingdom with a great sea route.

, has been planning for so long, one can imagine what kind of opponent the Neferutali royal family is facing.

Ouch...

A young girl's voice rang out. She raised her head and saw the giant-like black-haired man in front of her, and found that there seemed to be an icy blue flower twinkling in his eyes.

"Why are you in front of me?" The girl raised her head and looked at Reinhard angrily.

Reinhard chuckled and looked at the pretty little girl with long blue hair in front of him.

"You bumped into it yourself."

"Nonsense, how could I hit someone when I was walking so well?" The blue-haired girl pointed at Reinhard angrily, then turned to the duck behind her and said, "What do you think, Karu?"

"Quack..."

Except that this duck can't speak human language, it seems to be no different from humans.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Mozer noticed this situation and came over to ask. After seeing the girl in front of him, he was about to walk over and send the girl away, but was stopped by Reinhard.

"She is not an ordinary little girl." Reinhard chuckled softly, then turned to look at the blue-haired girl, "Then what do you think we should do?"

The blue-haired girl rolled her eyes, her quirky look looked very cute.

"Well..." the girl lengthened her voice and did not answer in a hurry.

At this time, a group of hurried soldiers came from a distance. When the surrounding residents saw it, they immediately ran away in panic. After seeing these soldiers, the blue-haired girl hurriedly said: "Don't let them find me and I will forgive you."

The girl's eyes quickly glanced around, seeming to be looking for a hiding place, but there were empty roads all around, and the soldiers had already rushed over. She quickly pulled the duck next to her and said: "Hurry up, Karu, hide in."

.”

She lifted up Reinhard's black robe hanging from his waist, and hurriedly hid in with the duck.

Reinhardt, who is nearly three meters tall, has slender legs, and the blue-haired girl is short in stature. She has no problem hiding inside.

After the girl hid with the duck, she looked out from the gap between Reinhard's legs and saw that a dozen soldiers had stopped in front of Reinhard. Then she was a little worried, fearing that these soldiers would do something to her.

This tall man is at a disadvantage.

The duck quacked and quacked in a low voice, and the girl made a shushing gesture.

The soldiers searched around, and as the crowd dispersed, they found only two tall men.

You were here just now, where did you go?

One of the soldiers muttered to himself in confusion.

"Did you see a girl with blue hair?" The soldier walked up to Reinhardt and asked. Reinhardt smiled and pointed behind him, meaning he ran in that direction.

Just as the soldiers were preparing to leave, a tall man wearing armor and holding a long sword suddenly came over. Judging from the respectful expression of the soldiers on him, he seemed to be the leader of the soldiers.
