Chapter 344
Chapter 429 Sphinx: The Times And The Sea Will Belong To The Balrog!
Alabasta, rain.
The deepest part of the luxurious casino called “Rain Banquet” is the office of Seven Warlords of the Sea Sand Crocodile.
Rain Feast is a great place, arguably the best casino on the first half of the Grand Line.
Crocodile has relied on this casino to make a lot of money over the years!
“Golden City… Oh, that balrog bastard, he’s not looking like a pirate anymore.” Crocodile looked at the newspaper in his hand and snorted coldly -.
Just then, a figure opened the door of his office and walked in.
Crocodile was not angry because of this man’s behavior, which showed that he had considerable trust in this guy.
Mr.1 Daz Bowness.
Crocodile has been the most loyal subordinate over the years.
“Boss, regarding the most popular recently, the Beasts Pirates matchup, how do we sit in the hands of the Rain Banquet?” Bowness asked.
The hands of the Beasts Pirates, at most in the New World, are still a little difficult to reach out to other places.
What’s more, with the hatred between Crocodile and Surrut, even if the Beasts Pirates reached out to the Rain Feast, Crocodile would not care about Surrut’s half hair.
Therefore, Rain Banquet, as the most luxurious casino in the first half of the Grand Line, must have a hand in this handicap.
Crocodile lit a cigar, thought for a while, and said, “Sit on Surrut…that bastard has a better chance of winning.”
Surrut and Crocodile probably met only once.
Then he took off one of Crocodile’s arms!
But Crocodile knows Surrut very well. Looking at the wall of his office, there is a Surrut’s bounty notice hanging on it. There is a knife stuck in Surrut’s face, which shows Crocodile’s hatred for Surrut!
Over the years, Crocodile has often studied various information about Surrut, so even if he has never seen Surrut again, from these information, he has thoroughly analyzed Surrut’s character, behavior and other messy things.
In Crocodile’s view, Surrut was reckless and rude in the early years, but later became more cautious. Although his superficial impression was still so wild, Crocodile believed that it was a deliberate disguise made by Surrut.
This guy, judging from the things he has done in the future, has the meaning of ‘not fighting unprepared battles’.
Now, this guy suddenly stands up to challenge Kaido, with his relationship and familiarity with Kaido, if this bastard is not sure, will he shoot?
So after much deliberation, Crocodile thinks Surrut’s chances of winning may be bigger?
“Surrut?” Bowness was stunned for a moment, and then said: “But in the handicap, there are more people who are inclined to Kaido, and most of the people who bet are betting on Kaido…”
It can also be seen from this that Kaido is more famous in the end.
“When will these bad gamblers decide the duel among the strongest people in the world, who will win?” Crocodile sneered.
Bowness’s eyes lit up, nodded and said, “Yes, I understand, Boss.
In fact, the dealer will never lose money, the difference is which side you sit on and earn more.
Crocodile chose Surrut, it’s that simple.
After a short pause, Crocodile said again: “Is there any news from the world’s official government?35
“No, just urging us, I hope we can get rid of the Nafirutali royal family as soon as possible.” Bowness reported again.
Crocodile glanced at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes darkened a lot.
After a long time, Crocodile said solemnly: “Perhaps, we have been tricked by the goddamn government of the world…”
“What do you mean?” Bowness asked suspiciously.
“The news about Ancient Weapon may have been deliberately obtained by the world official through some channels.” Crocodile knocked on the table and said softly.
“Isn’t that the information you got from the treasure map of the treasure relic, boss?” Bowness asked in surprise.
“That’s right, but maybe that’s what the world government made me think…that’s what got me even more into this information, thinking that Alabasta really has Ancient Weapon·Pluton·Pluto…thus leading me to Come to Alabasta and use my hand to get rid of the Nafirutali clan that they are inconvenient to do. Crocodile rubbed his eyebrows and said.
“Should… not?” Bowness hesitated.
Crocodile also shook his head and said: “There’s no evidence, it’s my hallucination, it’s okay… But I just have this feeling of being manipulated…”
There was silence in the office.
After a long time, Crocodile sighed deeply, and then said: “But anyway, Alabasta’s army of millions is indeed real…”
Bowness heard the words and said quickly: “Yes, at least Alabasta’s military power does exist, when you become the king of the desert…”
Crocodile nodded, but said nothing.
In his eyes, there is also some confusion, can an army of millions really be useful?
Can he really support him, gain a foothold in the New World, and run rampant?
If this is really the calculation of the world’s official government, can he withstand the subsequent backlash?
After all, he wouldn’t naively think that the world’s official government would hand over places like Alabasta to him, a pirate, to manage.
Indistinctly, Crocodile squeezed his fist involuntarily, and then, a wisp of Haki, which seemed to be absent, circulated.
It was also at this moment that Crocodile woke up suddenly.
“My Haki…?” Crocodile looked at the weak Haki in his hand, his eyes full of shock.
Since when, his Haki, weakened to this level?
Meanwhile, on Kraigana Island.
In a lonely castle, Mihawk was sitting in this room. He poured a glass of home-brewed red wine to himself, and then leisurely opened the newspaper and read it.
“The City of Gold… the duel of the Beasts Pirates?” Mihawk took a sip from his glass, and then said to himself, “Ragnaros Surrut… his Ashbringer, among the greatest fortunes. The eighth of the twelve workers.”
But soon, Mihawk hesitated again: “But that guy has never called himself a swordsman…a person like Whitebeard.”
The Cong Yunqi in Whitebeard’s hands is also a famous sword, but Newgate never calls himself a swordsman. The sword in their hands is just a weapon used to cut people, and it has little to do with what kendo is not.
Mihawk hesitated for a while, and then seemed to think of something again. He read the newspaper again, and whispered softly: “Even if I don’t care about swordsmanship, maybe I should measure my current strength, what can I stand in this world? Location?”
After a short pause, Mihawk said to himself again: “Also, that guy Shanks has also stopped in New World, and I haven’t seen him for a long time. I wonder if he will improve? This time I went to New World, You can also find him.”
Having said that, Mihawk has been too busy recently.
He is the kind of person who is more laid-back. If he has nothing to do, he also likes to cultivate the land on the island, plough the fields, make wine, cook, and then find time to tease the monkeys and so on.
··For flowers….
All in all, a very laid-back guy.
But occasionally there will be times when he is very quiet and thoughtful, and when he is bored on the island, he will go out to sea to find something to do.
In the original story, he should have been bored and went out to the waves. He happened to meet East Blue’s “Crick Grand Fleet”, and then chased this guy bloody and killed all the way to East Blue.
And then, I met Roronoa Zoro and the Straw Hats.
Calm Belt, Nine Snake Island, Amazon, Lily.
Boa Hancock was sitting arrogantly on Salome, and said in a very unhappy tone: “Beasts Pirates are our allies, Lord Surrut will definitely win the battle with Kaido, and then Beasts Pirates will enter In the era of ‘Second Generation’, as an ally, why can’t a concubine go to Asgard in person?
“Snake Princess! 35 Gloriosa shouted, and then said: “You are the Seven Warlords of the Sea now, with a special status. If the world’s official government knows that you are close to the Beasts Pirates, then they will help us.. .”
“Aid!?” Hancock stood up abruptly, glaring at Gloriosa condescendingly and said, “When did the concubine say that she would accept assistance from the world’s official government!?”
“But…” Gloriosa said with a serious face: “This is for the country, if we can integrate into the international community outside through the channels of the world’s official government, we Amazon Lily…”
….0
“Ridiculous!” Hancock scolded, and then said: “The way out for Amazon Lily, from the beginning, will never be in the body of the world! What do you think of our relationship with the Beasts Pirates?””
“Of course we have to maintain our relationship with the Beasts Pirates. This is not a conflict. The fish men island is also a member of the world’s official government, but Surrut and the others…” Gloriosa said quickly.
“The concubine is the emperor of Amazon Lily. No one in this country can stop the will of the concubine, not even you, mother-in-law!” Hancock interrupted Gloriosa’s words directly, and said in a very firm tone.
If you want to say why, of course it’s because she is so beautiful!
“Snake Girl, you…” Gloriosa was about to say something else when Hancock slammed his foot and hooked it on Gloriosa’s waist, a burst of skill that didn’t hurt Gloriosa in the slightest, but kicked him out of the window. out.
Then Hancock looked at the two younger sisters beside him and said, “Prepare the ship, I’m going to Asgard!””
“Yes, Queen!” Marigold and Sandersonia responded at the same time.
Meanwhile, in Asgard.
Sphinx’s arm was still in plaster, and she was sitting at a wine table opposite Jhin Abel.
“You rarely take off your mask.” Sphinx said looking at Jhin.
That’s right, Jhin took off his mask at this time, revealing his handsome face.
“It’s a bit boring, I want to breathe.” Jhin said expressionlessly.
“Isn’t it?” Sphinx picked up the wine bowl from the table with one hand, took a sip, then grinned, looked at Jhin and said, “You are worried… worried that Kaido will lose to Surrut!
“Brother Kaido will never be defeated!” Jin looked at the Sphinx with a serious look, and said in a deep voice.
“Ahahahaha. 39 Sphinx laughed out loud, then looked at Jhin unceremoniously and said: “When the battle is over, when this duel is over, in the years to come, this sea, this era All will have a name, do you know what it is?”
Jhin’s expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he did not speak.
The Sphinx’s smile grew stronger, she looked at Jhin, and said word by word, “That’s… the era of the Balrog, Surrut!” Gong.
