Sitting in his office chair, Crocodile was obviously confident. Although he knew that his strategies and plans were not as broad as the Queen of the East China Sea, through this period of polishing and planning, he obviously regained his persistence. Reason: After all, there are indeed many strong people in this world, but no matter how good the minds of others are, no matter how strong they are, it is not their own, so it is enough to stick to the path that you have practiced.

"Yeah, you don't know how bored I am these days, but the stagnant East China Sea has no waves at all. If I don't come out again, I'm worried that I might be suffocated to death."

It was natural to taste the steak in front of her. Nami's words were obviously quite sincere. As an important partner on the bright side, no matter how arrogant Sand Crocodile was, it was impossible to neglect the Queen of the East China Sea, who had already obtained a real identity. , so at present this underwater reception room has been filled with a table of delicacies, which can be regarded as a blessing for the queen who came from afar.

"Guhahahaha~ Your nature can't be suppressed at last. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were definitely not a person willing to be lonely. How? Do you want to join forces?"

He let out a series of gloomy laughs that were quite consistent with the identity of the boss, and Crocodile's words were also quite crisp. His purpose is to let the royal army, including the king of Cobra, die with the rebels who were incited, and then take over the country as a national hero, but even if he really destroys both the royal army and the rebel army, It's not that easy to be a king. The people of Alabasta may not reject a national hero as their new king, but the surrounding kings of other countries who are coveting them do not think so.

At this time, if there is a friendly monarch with good influence in the world to fully support him, his step will be much smoother. And Nami is undoubtedly such a king who meets the requirements.

In normal times, Crocodile would naturally disdain to take the initiative to lower his head to ask for help, but now Nami is sending her to the door by herself, so Crocodile doesn't mind pulling this man of ability that he likes very well.

Yes, capable ones. As a person with a very accurate vision, Sand Crocodile can of course see the importance of the demon knife Xia Lan and the rubber alloy, plus the advanced navigation skills that Nami has already shown, which makes Crocodile determine that it is absolutely useful at any time. After all, even if Crocodile really won the Pluto, it is impossible to drive this legendary battleship all over the world like a bare commander. Therefore, finding allies has become impossible to circumvent.

"Joining forces? It's not impossible, after all, the market in Alabasta is very good, but you know, my Belmer itself is not a country rich in resources. Therefore, my goal is to buy enough materials from abroad to artificially expand my country. The territory of the country. I am afraid there will be many **** who want to interfere with me in the East China Sea. If I have the support of your future king of a big country, I can also relax. "

Picking up the napkin on the side of the dining table, Nami wiped her lips gracefully. Her words did not lie, because this was her future plan for Belmer. After all, as a person who believes more in reality and ruthlessness, she can't just foolishly wait for Luffy and his party to pass her own test, and make all feasible plans in the future. That's the way she understands.

The inherent disadvantage of Belmer is that it is only a deserted island. If it were replaced by those unenterprising monarchs, it would be possible to live extravagantly to death on this small island with the help of Xia Lan and rubber alloys, but as a person who knows himself very well The arrogant presence of positioning, of course, Nami will not stop there.

What if the island is small? That is of course artificial enlargement. She even thought about using many materials to directly surround the entire territory of Belle Meyer, creating a ship-type country as large as an aircraft carrier. After all, there are quite a lot of high-strength materials in this world. , otherwise, there will be no super sailing ships that are ridiculously large, such as Moonlight Moria's terrifying three-masted sailing ship that is as big as an island.

No matter how you look at Moonlight Moria, she doesn't seem to be someone who can surpass her in the ability to collect money, so since the other party can have an island boat like that, Nami thinks that it's only a matter of time and money for her to build a bigger one.

"Oh~ that's a good idea. It seems that you are also the kind of person who won't stop. Then it's settled. We don't need any documents for our alliance, you know and I know."

Sand Crocodile is quite satisfied with Nami's words. Although he will never regard the other party as someone who can be unconditionally trusted, but since he is an ally, he naturally likes to see the existence of beasts, not those who have no enterprising spirit. Waste like fat pigs.

"So, when are you going to start? I can probably take a month's vacation here."

Holding up a glass of red wine, Nami stood up at will, and walked to the side of the sink glass. There is no doubt that this is the inside of the building of the rain banquet. As a building specially built on the water, the rain banquet itself is actually a unique freshwater lake, while the sand crocodile directly built the most luxurious on the lake with its strong financial resources and prestige. The casino rain banquet in the casino, perhaps out of personal hobby, the buildings where Crocodile hides are located inside underwater buildings built under the water. And through the sturdy tempered glass, you can even see some fat banana crocodiles cruising at the bottom of the lake.

The reason why it is called the sand crocodile is obviously because Crocodile prefers this cold-blooded animal. In fact, it is completely feasible to regard all the banana crocodiles in this lake as each other's pets.

"Well, don't worry, since you're here, let Mr. take you to play and relax on Sunday. You can rest assured that you won't have to wait for a long time to watch the fireworks."

Looking at Robin, who was standing at the door, Crocodile nodded slightly, and the latter responded calmly, "Yes, BOSS, I will entertain Her Majesty."

Sipping the red wine in the glass little by little, Nami just tilted her head slightly indifferently, and then said quite casually: "By the way, I forgot to ask, you should have prepared the plan this time, and make sure there is no any Likely to fail, right?"

"Well~ Of course, since it's an ally, I might as well say a little more. When the last batch of arms arrives, the rebels should almost go to the capital Albana and ask their king why his Majesty wants to take this country away. rain."

Relaxing and handing his back to the back of the chair, Crocodile didn't think there was anything wrong with Nami's confirmation. Considering the need to gain the other party's trust, he revealed the rebels and the rain to a great extent. After all, what he did was to use dancing powder to deliberately take the rain from the rest of the country, and then put the blame on the head of King Cobra, which made the rebel army gradually build up.

"Oh~ that's good, then, let's end this plan."

Throwing down the dry goblet, Nami's tone was as flat and calm as ever, even with an unconcealed laziness, as if she was discussing with Crocodile about the taste of this glass of red wine. But her right hand has been swung suddenly, and with a heart-pounding shattering sound, the sturdy tempered glass of the water tank shattered like a fragile sand sculpture under her attack. The pure water flow outside the sink has rushed into this room, which is dozens of meters underwater, with a violent attitude. The strong water pressure completely engulfed all the space in this room in less than a few seconds.

A smear of blood mist has enveloped Nami's body at the same time as Nami's action, so even these violent water currents cannot wash away the blood that is much thicker than the water current in a short time, which is equivalent to being separated by the blood itself and the water current. The Nami, there is absolutely no need to worry about the invasion of the current on her. However, Crocodile and Robin obviously do not have this ability. The weak point of the ability person is weak in the water, so that they almost have no resistance at all, and they are knocked down and submerged by the current, no matter how strong the will or the spirit, in ability Under the innate curse of the people, they all fell victim to the flow of water at this moment.

And Namiyu, who was shrouded in the blood mist, stretched out her hand towards Robin's position with all her strength, and a tentacle-like red blood mist also grabbed it dexterously, and then quickly floated towards the water surface with ease and leisure.

As for Crocodile, he is a power user first, and he is a sand fruit power user with the worst compatibility with water, so even if he feels the almost uncontrollable resentment and anger in his chest, the water still erodes in the first time. And deprived him of the ability to resist, trying his best to stretch his palm upwards, but what he finally saw was still just a picture of Nami taking Robin away quickly. In less than a few seconds, Nami took Robin out of the lake easily, and the smile of the orange-haired girl floating in the air still didn't disappear when she looked at the large blisters on the lake. .

Obviously, this was not a friendly meeting, on the contrary, it was a casual and successful beheading. Even Robin, who was held in Nami's arms, regained his senses after coughing violently, and his eyes couldn't help but bring a little fear. Although she already knew what the other party was going to do, defeating the famous Crocodile in such a simple and effective manner was still beyond her capacity.

And Nami just shook her head slightly, with a little joking, but more cruel words, which also floated out of her mouth.

"The 'crocodile' drowned in water, huh~ what a good joke~"

No lower limit (2)

It is not surprising that Crocodile would be successfully raided. As a person who is most afraid of water, he does not know why he built his office in an underwater building located in the lake, and it is not the kind of closed solid. The basement, but a room similar to a water view room that can directly observe the water through the glass.

In this case, if someone smashes the glass of the water feature room, it is no surprise that a large amount of water will directly knock it down. If it is another natural ability person, there may be a chance to escape from the exit of the corridor before the water flow closes. However, as a shasha fruit ability person, Crocodile is almost unable to do anything under the attack of a large amount of water mist. to elementalization.

Therefore, in Nami's eyes, Crocodile's behavior of being a sand man but insisting on living in a water-view room is like a normal person living in a room surrounded by bombs. This behavior is not only full of It's a force that makes normal people awe-inspiring, and it's also full of a sense of opportunity that makes Nami feel that it's almost effortless to kill him.

So Nami did just that. If it wasn't for the taste of the steak that made her quite satisfied and decided to savor it carefully, this behavior would have been more than five minutes earlier.

"Cough cough~ You, you want to kill Crocodile?"

Robin, who was held by Nami in his arms, looked at Nami with a look of horror: "You...you said you were just going to..."

"Yeah, I'm trying to persuade him. But I know he's stubborn, and the persuasion process should be very long, so you might as well knock him down first and then say something or two if you're in the mood. And... Location Whether or not it has changed, and whether it can persuade Mr. Crocodile to me are two entirely different things."

Landing slowly to safe land, Nami didn't feel the slightest pressure to kill Crocodile. As a hero who planned to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives on the ladder of his ambition, the king, Qiwuhai, killed her. Without any unease or hesitation, as for the identity of the ally? A joke, allies refer to those who can be trusted and entrusted, a careerist who is ready to betray and betray anyone around him anytime and anywhere in order to climb the path of his own ambition, and is not qualified to be an ally of Nami.

A few faint and faint shattering sounds came from under the lake. Obviously, some furniture or utensils could not withstand the huge water pressure. It is the consciousness that is desperately maintaining a trace of clarity, but the suffocation of drowning will soon completely annihilate this trace of clarity.

Originally, he believed that he was being cautious. If Nami was not an able person, he might have changed the meeting place. However, he had already confirmed that the Queen of the East China Sea was indeed an able person. Therefore, the blind spot of cognition and the arrogance of his own identity easily sent him on this path.

If Nami is a normal ability person, this kind of self-determined water tank behavior will inevitably drown her at the bottom of this lake, but unfortunately her ability has given her a sense of resistance to water erosion, so This raid was completed so easily.

but...

The last few bubbles were spit out from his lungs, but Crocodile's mind was filled with words that were about to burst: Why? ! !

"Why?"

The same question, Robin is also asking Nami, the drenched black-skinned Yujie is showing off her figure at the moment, and the excess water is still dripping from the tips of her hair. This kind of reverie beauty is undoubtedly It's amazing enough, but Robin, who has always paid attention to image at this time, gritted her teeth and looked at Nami in front of her. She didn't feel injustice about Crocodile's fate, but just felt... uneasy.

Yes, the unease is so strong that it cannot be suppressed.

If it weren't for the fact that Nami still saved her, and was the only one of the additional ancient history decipherers, the Blood Drop Stone, Robin knew that he would have fled immediately.

In all fairness, the cooperation between Nami and Crocodile has always been extremely smooth. As a business contact person, Crocodile has never neglected Nami in terms of price or effort, and even the wording of contacts has never been humiliated or overlooked. Attitude, on Nami's birthday and Belmer's founding festival, the gifts that should be given are never lacking, and even every time Robin is told to give Nami more gifts.

The cooperation between the two has no friction and flaws, and there is no offense in the daily communication between the two. Until the previous moment, Crocodile was still trying his best to express his willingness to continue to cooperate with Nami, but the next moment, he was directly rejected. This 'trusted' partner he had in a sense was lost at the bottom of the cold and deep lake.

So, why did Nami do this? Unless the other party is the world government or a higher group of people, or some other people whose purpose and identity are unknown.

"Huh? What kind of problem is this?"

Blinking slightly, Nami took off the black cloak on her body, and then carefully wrapped Robin's body, but the latter just gritted her teeth slightly, and then said in a low voice, "I insist."

Seeing the stubbornness in the other party's eyes, Nami's mouth couldn't help but droop a little, and she took a step back a little unhappily, and the orange-haired girl in a black dress also raised her head slightly: "Okay, okay~ The reason is not very obvious. Is it? For a long time, Xia Lan and other businesses have been turned over by Crocodile, and nearly half of the purchase funds from Doflamingo went into Mr. Sand Crocodile's pocket for free. Of course, I am There is no complaint about this, after all, this is Mr. Crocodile's help to me when my strength is insufficient, so I silently allow Mr. Sand Crocodile to earn the money for nearly two years without compensation after my country was founded. However, you also You see, I don't really need Mr. Crocodile as a transit point anymore."

Casting her eyes to the surface of the water, Nami raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. According to common sense, the limit time for a normal person to drown is 15 minutes, but considering the fierce folk customs in the One Piece world, Crocodile is another There is no one in ten thousand strong, so she decided to double this time and wait for half an hour.

"You...you mean..."

Instinctively wrapping the black cloak on her body, Robin did feel a chill. That's right, she already understood. Nami's meaning is very simple. Let's put it this way, Belmer's goods came out of their place for 5, and Crocodile paid that price to get them, and then sold them to Dover in the New World for 10 or even 15 Lumingo. It is equivalent to saying that he was only responsible for a transfer job, and he got double or even triple the salary for nothing.

There is no doubt that this is unfair, just because Crocodile is one of the seven seas under the king, this dazzling halo not only obscures his eyes, but also obscures the others including Robin. binocular. It was only now that Robin suddenly realized that this person, who was one of the seven seas under the king, didn't seem to be that strong, and even... fragile and terrifying.

In the past, Nami's foothold was not stable, and it was understandable to rely on Crocodile's tiger skin to help her drive away those coveted Fly Camp dogs, but now, she has completely stabilized the relationship with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, the latter even willing to Sending the veteran flying squirrel lieutenant general to be stationed directly in Belmer, it can be said that she has the qualification and ability to directly trade with the people in the new world. It is undoubtedly intolerable to take away close to 50% or more of the profit of its own goods.
